Julia
Unfortunately this is the first sit I could not rate as five stars. While Ellie, Lexi, and Twinkle were all very lovable, the communication and misrepresentation from Julia made for a very uncomfortable and stressful sit.

Before confirming the sit, Julia and I had a lovely video chat where we discussed my remote work schedule and how this would work with the pets’ schedules. She confirmed there were no training issues or special needs with the two dogs.  Due to my work schedule, I told her I would arrive the Sunday before and get an Airbnb.  She said not to bother with booking one as her Airbnb was open and I was welcome to stay there.

Pets: Two weeks before my arrival I got a rather panicked sounding text saying she was very stressed and would like my flight details for reassurance. Three days before my arrival I got another message saying she had adopted a new puppy and hoped this would not be a problem, later to find out that she got the puppy prior to asking for my flight details but neglected to mention it. While a new puppy is always fun, this was a little concerning due to the requested walking requirements of  2 + hours per day. On the walks we did together before she left, she wanted to play with the puppy so they had no practice walks as a threesome.

Accommodations: Upon arriving we went directly to her home and only after directing me to bring in my bags did she mention her Airbnb was rented and I would be staying with her. I felt very put on the spot and did not want to start our relationship seemingly ungrateful so I decided to try and make the best of it. She made frequent jokes about whether I was “on the clock” during this time and I felt more like a worker who should be invisible when not needed than the welcome guest I have felt at all my other sits.

Internet: The afternoon of arrival she complained three times about her internet and stated how much better it was at her Airbnb. In her ad she stated she had high speed internet and when we spoke previously, she confirmed she never had problems streaming.  This was especially impactful as she knew I worked remotely full time and needed to be online during set hours. In the week that I was there, there was never availability for an hour straight and I was dropped from multiple conference calls and had to work late nights and the weekend to make up for the regular service interruptions.

Length of stay and return details: The sit was listed as six days. Upon arrival she mentioned three days away and it ended up being four.  When I tried to confirm when she was returning, she was very vague and deflected. Upon her return she mentioned this was because flights are sometimes delayed so she did not want to set expectations.

Review request outside of platform: Before leaving I was asked if I would speak to her next sitter to confirm “how easy the three dogs were”. As the next sit was more than four months out and she requested I speak to the sitter the next day, this felt like a clear signal to influence my “reference” before she would provide my review.

On some of my other sits, things have come up, but with great pet owners/partners, they were handled with little impact. Unfortunately, this time I did not have that partner.

Drake
Becky and Drake were very welcoming and our stay was enjoyable. Their home is very lovely with beautiful scenery to complement it. They made sure we had everything we needed during our stay, with it all very well spelled out on how to take care of everyone. Smudge and Maggie were easy to take care of and their personalities really started to show after some time with them. Emmy was pure joy and happiness, and the definition of a playful puppy but can also be really chill. We really enjoyed our playful moments with her as well as all the snuggles. If we ever get back to their area, we would happily sit for them again and highly recommend!

Cori
Cori's home is in the perfect location for relaxing on the river. She was inviting and gave me ample tips for exploring the surrounding area. Bentli and Nala were sweet and perfect off-leash; we went on many hikes and runs. I would highly recommend sitting for Cori.

Sarah's home is kitty-centric, and that is reflected back by the 3 most adorable, well-mannered, cuddly, intelligent, self-contained kitties I've met in more than a decade of housesitting!  These are cats that have been raised with love and respect -- and it shows.  In turn, each kitty came to me for caressing and tummy-rubbing (no claws!  no nipping!  no jealousy!)...No weird behavioral issues.  Cats spent the night downstairs in the kitchen -- no catastrophes the next morning, no incessant whining about food when I first entered the kitchen.  Instead I was greeted by expectant happy-to-see-me faces.  I have never seen such well-adjusted, well-mannered cats.

Sarah is a delight...Very communicative and responsive.  She made me feel so welcomed.  Her home (which she recently moved into) is airy, bright, cozy and comfortably "lived in."  She's an artist and I was inspired by her whimsical decor.  (Really, after arriving there, I decided to shut off all zoom and video chats for the weekend and immerse myself in this magical retreat.)  Soon, she'll have a sauna in the back garden!

Sarah also graciously made room for me in the fridge and in her daughter's spotless bathroom, which I appreciated. 

At first, I was concerned about the location of Sarah's home in this new neighborhood.  But, it's only a 10-minute walk to Belhaven Beach and the iconic "bridge to nowhere."  It's a 45-minute walk to the John Muir Alpaca Trek (so much fun!).  22 minute walk to Asda and to the bus stop to Edinburgh (which is an hour and 15 minutes).  I was absolutely fine without a car.  But there's a driveway for parking your car.

The neighborhood is friendly, quiet and dark, allowing for amazing views from the back that overlook fields to Belhaven Bay.  WiFi is steady and strong.  Kitchen is spacious and well supplied.  Plenty of room to work (as long as you are ok with the occasional check-up from a kitty!).

Dunbar is charming and is the birthplace of John Muir, the famous "American" conservationist.  His birthplace home, now a museum, is an interesting visit.  The town is the sunniest place in Scotland, but don't let those rays fool you!  The sea wind is cold, so when trekking the incredible walks (including the iconic John Muir Way), be sure to bundle up.

I highly recommend this fabulous housesit -- and I hope to be back to be spoiled by these fabulous kitties again!  Thank you so much, Sarah!

Olivia
BEWARE you will fall in love with Alma and will be sad on your departure *ugly crying*

Whether you're an artist looking for inspiration, a pet lover who wants the sweetest company ever, an escape from the world's craziness or all of the above..  this is THEE place to be. I was in awe every morning realizing I was staying at such a beautiful property.

Olivia is a sweet soul with great communication and made me feel very comfortable from beginning to end. She even picked me up from the train station to ease my arrival.

The house has SUCH a calming vibe - I literally fell asleep unintentionally minutes after entering the home (during the day and outside in the patio). Once Alma got comfortable with me, she would hop on my bed and cuddle with me at night and be my alarm clock in the morning - she'd either wake me up by licking me or gently tapping me with her paw... sooo cute! 

Overall, excellent house sitting experience and can't wait for another opportunity like this!

This was our first sit (we have had a number of people sit for us and they have been great) and it was wonderful!  Princessa was absolutely adorable and she warmed right up to us!  She even “helped” us play a board game 😂. Sara gave clear instructions and had a lovely apartment.  We hope we have the chance to take care of Princessa again!
