Pet care experience

I am currently dog sitting in seattle. I have a pretty open schedule but, meet and greets are tentative until you confirm the booking, otherwise, pls “schedule meet and greets” in the messaging app which will autopopulate the information for you so it is clear to both persons. Not everyone requires these and if you do please use the proper channels. Will need your pets schedule, feeding, medicine, what are they doing throughout the day? Is their owner home or are they alone? It’s important to know what they are used as well as their risk/tendency’s. Pls be sure to include all relative information. Phone calls or texts the first few days are fine but please not every moment of every hour. It’s important to have explicit expectations for your sitters and not anytime after the start of the trip. I am happy to accommodate last minute needs like but generally animals are what I stick to. I have also never had Covid/rsv and have not coughed since the start of pandemic bc Lysol will disinfect your breath. I pride myself in caring for you and your fur family as if they were children ;). Things I will do: -Drive you to/from the airport (for a FEE) -Clean pools (chlorine and acid 1:3) -Run Trailer Rentals (for a fee) -Plant-only house sits Free of charge -Watch multiple dogs over 100lbs (2 to 3 max) -Watch multiple cats and dogs (10 most) -Flip Airbnb’s (as a favor or for a FEE) -General household duties -All day sits when needed

This sitter was an extremely nightmare experience. It was so bad I couldn't even write a review right away I had to wait 4 months to finally feel up to discussing this trauma again. I traveled out of the country to Aruba. I had her replaced by another sitter within a few days because she scolded me for leaving a list with notes about my dog, what she likes, and her schedule. She also scolded me for requesting more photo updates and told me she would only be willing to send 2 photos per day because it would be asking too much. She was staying in my home 24/7 not just overnight. How hard is it to take more than 2 photos. She had people in my house who I did not know without my permission. She sent me a video of my dog and I could hear the people talking in the background. I told her not to use our infrared sauna because we didn't want other peoples body fluids in our sauna but I am pretty sure she used it anyway because she left a lot of towels behind that the new sitter had to wash. Using the sauna requires a lot of towels. When a new sitter came to replacer and to tell her she was being relieved she refused to leave without screaming at her replacement and me on the phone. She took items that belonged to me. There were 2 blankets missing each were $100 a piece and a red light therapy device that costed me $400. So I lost $500 of personal items. She had Amazon packages shipped to our house. About 2 weeks after she was staying at my house the cops showed up at our house at 8 am asking if she lived there. They said our address was listed as her place of residence. We have changed the locks added a security system and cameras.

Allison was hired to stay all day and night with my pup. I called the first day I was gone, which I always do, to make sure my fur baby was doing ok. I was scolded by Allison for basically bothering her too much, she didn’t say it that way but it was heavily implied. She told me the she had never had an owner like me check in so much. Then she told me that the list I left for her was very detailed and she never seen a list like that and she thanked me, in a condescending tone! I felt backed into a corner because she is in my house and has my fur baby. If I told her how she was speaking to me was inappropriate that felt risky for both my dog and home. When I sent a text asking her to send me random pics no specific time to make it easy she said this, “Hi Betsy I wanted if we could get an agreement on pictures . I'm happy to send some twice a day that way, if we're in the middle of walks or getting ready to do things, there isn't disruption.“ I replaced her with another sitter as soon as possible through Rover and the other sitter was wonderful.
