Pet care experience

I love animals

I’m loving and caring and love animals. I love taking care of them. They will be well taken of and given plenty of attention. I’ve had dogs my whole life until a few years ago when mine died. She was 16. I miss having a pet. This will fill the void! I’m loving and caring and love animals. I live in a nice neighborhood dead end street not much traffic for walking pets. I only ask that the pet be clean, no fleas. If your dog is aggressive I will not be able to sit for them. I don’t want to take a chance of getting bit and I think it’s safer that way. I have dog sat for many of my friends when they go out of town as well. You will not be disappointed if I sit for your pets.

Not a good experience. We booked April for a last minute 1 night trip. We booked her at the housesitting fee and when she came by on Friday I made sure to confirm with April in person that she was staying and showed her to the guest room. We told her that we were leaving Saturday morning about 9 and thay they would be fine a few hours if she didn't arrive till later. Well to make a very uncomfortable 30 hours as short and to the point as possible. I have ring surveillance outside my home, as well as neighbors who look out for each other. April didn't show up at our home until 6:26 p.m. we messaged April when we left home at 9:00 a.m. letting her know we left. 8.5 hours my 2 dogs were alone. She only stayed until 8:14. Not even 2 full hours she spent at my house. At 3:23 a.m. I get a call from my neighbor that the dogs are barking excessively because it's unusual and asked if she should go by. This is when I learned that April had not stayed. I had then message April as I needed her because my neighbor was catching a flight, asking how everything was. About 2 hours after the message was sent I get a couple of photos from April, one laying in my guest bed. I checked the ring camera again and found that she arrived back at my house at 7:05 a.m. and left again at 10:20 a.m. This is when we decided to cut it a few hours early and start heading home. She came back at 2:00 cleaned the mess the dogs had made inside and was gone again at 2:33. April did have the decency to at least message us just before leaving asking if the cash we had left on the counter was for her. Well originally it was, but did not get $80 of service that I paid for. She was sweet when she came by though.
