Pros: Brandi was a very nice person. I came home to my kitty and she was all good. She was flexible with her dates. Cons: Brandi stated she left August 11th but the video shows her leaving on the 10th, so she was dishonest. She mention my cat food having bugs in them so she threw out a whole half bag of hard food. My apartment is kept very tidy, theee only reason flies come out is if fruit is left out and she must have left food or something out that attracted the bugs. We originally discussed her only house sitting a month so she could allow client's from peer space in the apartment and sell off or receive furniture. I was lucky enough that she agreed to sit for meadow as well. My gut told me to hold off on peer space because I was getting good cell service at my silent retreat. I'm so so so so glad I did after seeing how she left my apartment floors and bathroom. She would of had to clean up after each peer space and I feel clients would have not been happy with the cleanliness. I don't even have living room furniture yet, just boxes so it should have been a breeze to sweep, vacuum, mop. There's plenty of cleaning rags and cleaners. I have white floors and she must have used dirty mop water all throughout the floor. Dirty streaks and foot prints all over the floor. She left the dirty mop water with the mop in it right in the living room. When mopping a bug place like mine you at least need to change the water four to six times. There was cereal left out and open. Cat food was left open on the counter. Water bowl didn't look clean, full of fur on top. Cereal crumbs on the floor. Coffee bean sprinkles on the cabinets. I usually leave my dishwasher cracked. She must have closed it shut and never opened it ever....because four wooden pieces inside molded over. It was full of clean dishes, pots, pans, utensils, etc. Her hair products on the sink. Empty raw sugar box left in cabinet. Bathroom: sink was sticky, toilet had poop stains (smh I had to clean), and my precious bath tub was filthy. There was black specks in it and I had to wash it four times at least before soaking. I looked forward to coming home and relaxing but I cleaned 3-4 hours. I didn't except her to leave it immaculate however this was more than just touching up for me. There were multiple finger and hand prints on the walls from make up and whatever else was on her hands. This was in my hallway, bedroom, and bathroom. Bedroom: bedroom was ok, some cereal crumbs on the bed and under but nothing major. The bedding was left in the dryer, which was ok but it smelled odd so I re washed it. Two weeks in and she sent a few photos but definitely not daily. Also, two weeks in I became pretty sick and needed to come home to go to the doctor for a few days. I offered to sleep in the living room but her dad lived close by so I guess she said shed make other arrangements so she would have gone there possibly. A day later she requested to end the stay early, which was fine yet very inconvenient. I ended up going to emergency room upstate. She was patient with me and I decided not to travel back home while sick so we agreed on the 11th. She kept mentioning that I could come back earlier if I wanted to. I guess maybe the train sound got to her. I had a feeling she left early, but the video confirmed it. Not sure why she would think that I wouldn't verify. The cameras are visible outside my door.

Susie and Jim remain two of the most competent sitters we have ever met. This was our second time having them for a 2+ week stay. Once again, we returned to an impeccably clean home and a dog better trained than when we left him - literally! They sent thoughtful photos from Manny’s many walks and adventures and we were at peace knowing he was well taken care of. Susie and Jim are trustworthy, wonderful people - we cannot recommend enough!

This was the second time Steve and Karen house sat for us. Yet again we were thrilled with the way they looked after our dogs ….especially having to take care of a very young puppy. On returning our house was sparkling clean, and they had gone the extra mile to ensure everything was in order. We were given updates regularly which was much appreciated, and meant that we could relax and enjoy our holiday without having to worry about the house or dogs. They are a lovely couple, and I really hope they will be able to come again next time we go away. Many thanks guys!

Claire is an ideal sitter! She is super communicative and went out of her way to share photos and updates with us daily while we were away. She was a model houseguest and left our home in perfect shape, even laundering the sheets and towels she used during her stay. That was a huge help to use after a long day of travel! Most importantly, Claire took great care of our dog which was evident to us in both her messages and our pup's disposition when we came home. Our dog can be very anxious around new people and unfamiliar situations, but his mood and demeanor were just as happy as ever after a week of us being away. That is a clear testament to Claire's attentiveness and care. She truly enabled us to fully relax and enjoy our vacation, knowing our special guy was in such great hands. Thank you Claire!!!

Great sit! Excellent communication throughout the entire experience via WhatsApp. 
Ioana made me very welcome the day before her trip. Friday and  Thirteen were a joy to look after. They will come over for petting and sitting with you. Ioana's apartment is quite big and comfortable and is only a 10 minute walk to the metro station. From there you can reach Valencia centre within 30 minutes . I highly recommend it! It was a pleasure,I hope to see you again in the future. I miss the cutest cats in the world so much πŸ₯ΉπŸ˜Š
