Loved having Bailey...she took such great care of our pup and the house seemed cleaner than when we left it. Definitely looking forward to having her back!

We booked Bailey for a week and a half...she only lasted 3 days. If you book Bailey we recommend getting everything in writing for example, her daily schedule. On our very first day of vacation we had to get a neighbor to come home early and let our dog out. We told Bailey we were leaving for the airport around 2:30 am..she didn't come to our house until 4:30 pm. Had we not called the neighbor our dog would have been inside for nearly 15 hours. We later found out Bailey was teaching at day camp all week. She told us during the meet and greet, and in e-mail, her only other obligations were 3 evenings the following week, nothing was mentioned about a day obligation to someone else. Let me repeat, get everything in writing. We have chickens. Bailey agreed to let them out each day. The first two days she didn't. We have an exterior surveillance system that we can playback from our cell phones. We texted Bailey asking about the chickens and why we could not see them in the yard. She denied failing letting them out and claimed our cameras were not working. However, the very next day we could clearly see Bailey in the yard trying to get the chickens back in the coop. So I guess the cameras were working after all. We made a verbal agreement with her that we would buy her some food if she would water our plants. She didn't water any plants despite it being 100 degrees the day we left. We left her written instructions which included bringing in the trashcan the day we left. We feel it was important because it shows someone was at home. Three days later we had to text her to remind her to bring the can in from the road which seemed to be the final straw for her. We flew home on a Saturday and were leaving for a week long camping trip the next day. It was at this point that Bailey decided that we must not trust her and basically quit. In the middle of Dulles airport, 3000 miles away, we were left scrambling to find a new sitter. Not a very relaxing vacation. We came home to a sink full of dishes and a stinky full trash can. We had to scramble to find a replacement sitter because we had reservations to keep. We worked with Rover.com. Rover told us they wanted to try and coach her but in the end they canceled her booking because they couldn't get in touch with her. Multiple attempts were made by Rover.com beginning Saturday and ending Sunday to reach Bailey. We ended up getting another neighbor to do the job. Bailey is a very nice girl. We just believe that she was trying to do too many things at one time. She obviously didn't see the posted surveillance signs and cameras and didn't like being called out her agreed upon duties.
