I wish I could give Alexis a glowing review, but unfortunately I probably wouldn't have her house and petsit for us again. She was so bad at communication that I worried she might not even show up. There were several times I reached out to her on zeewoi and her phone, and I often didn't hear back for days and only then I'd have to ping her again to get her to respond. After I shared all my housesitting info, I asked if she had any questions, she assured me she read everything and didn't have any questions, but then she clearly did not read through well because she missed some important stuff. A major one was that I had asked her to arrive mid morning because we had left out at 5am and my dog would need to go out around that time. I asked her ETA that day, and she told me she wouldn't be able to be there until 5pm and asked if that would be a problem. That struck me as a problematic question. She arrived around 6-7 hours after I asked her to and didn't think that would be an issue. So, I had to scramble to find a friend to go by and let my dog out. She also texted me for the address and how to get into the house. It was all in the info that she assured me she had already read through. Our pets seemed to be fine when we got home so that is the most important, but many requests I made or instructions I left were just not done. Some of it was related to how I give water to my cat and change his litterbox, but some was household related. A bunch of my plants died-- my whole vegetable garden as well as plants in my yard were completely dried up. Alexis happened to still be at the house when I arrived home. She showed me where packages were, but when I asked about where she had put my mail, she said that she had forgotten to check it and it was probably overflowing. Overall, I feel like I upheld my side by providing a clean, comfortable house and clear instructions, but I feel like she did not uphold her side of the agreement by caring for my house well by reading through and following the instructions I left for her.

My cat is usually quite nervous with stangers and takes a while to get used to them. Within a day Jo and Guy were sending me pictures of my cat happily curled up on their lap and getting fussed. He was almost disappointed when I turned up again at the end of the sit! Jo and Guy looked after my place very well. It was spotless when I got back and all the bed linen and towels had been washed. They'd even bought some supplies for me, including a lovely bottle of wine so that I didn't have to do anything when I got home. Perfect housesitters. Thanks so much.

Kathy was a wonderful house/pet sitter. She sent regular updates and stayed in touch. We left for an extended weekend and came home to a tidy house and happy critters. Without a question, we would have Kathy back again!
