She watched my cats over the weekend and didn't mind feeding my fish too. She did everything I asked and my cats had no issues with her. They seemed having a good time from the pics sent while I was down the shore. Which says alot because my orange cat Corona isn't a fan of most people haha.

I was very thankful that Ashley was willing to accept my last minute request to dogsit overnight during a holiday. She was extremely friendly, seemed good with Blu, and tolerant of the mess I call my home. I do however wish I had asked more questions during our video call. On my dog’s profile I list detailed instructions for his feeding, bathroom, and general care. We also discussed during the video chat. My instructions state that I don’t want him left for more than 8hrs at a time and the hours I was asking the sitter to stay were 5:30 PM-10AM. I was flexible on the times provided he was alone no more than 8hrs. Although, I did explain this during the call, I did not ask if she agreed as I assumed the sitter’s agreement to sit meant they agreed to the terms. She works an 8hr shift, 45 minutes from my home so was unable to meet the no more than 8hrs alone requirement. I was not aware of this until I was out of town. On day two I was informed that he’d thrown up the previous day’s evening meal (he eats 1/day in the morning). When I left my home on Monday morning I left the windows open on the top floor to air the place out and texted Ashley asking her to make sure to close them. When I arrived back on Wednesday all of these windows, except the ones in the room she slept in were open. It’s summer so the a/c was also on yet my dog was in a near 80% house. She’d also left the dog food bowl down although the bathroom instructions state that he’s to be let out after he eats. I believe that Ashley’s intentions were good but I wish she’d reread the profile, texted instructions, and called at the first sign of an issue (when he threw up, or she realized the ac didn’t seem to be working). That way I could have reminded her of the instructions and cleared up any confusion.
