Do not use this sitter. We had used him a few times before we realized that he was not following our instructions at all. We gave him instructions to not wear shoes in the house, walk our dogs 4 times a day (as they are used to that with us), do not enter our bedroom, send lots of pictures and always set the alarm when he leaves the house. Last time we used him, we found a hoodie of his in our bedroom shower. So not only did he enter our bedroom but he also used the shower. He made some excuses and I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt and used him again recently. My wife, smartly, decided to put up some cameras to keep an eye on our valuables before the visit started. As we were leaving, we told him to walk the dogs because we were busy packing and weren’t able to do it. He said he would be back in 5 minutes and showed up 3 hours later to do the walk. Then we started seeing him wear shoes in the house on the cameras throughout the stay. We also observed him keep one of our dogs locked up in the crate for hours. He also did not walk them 4 times as requested and one of his walks was for only 5 minutes even though he was told that they get walked for a minimum of 15 minutes. Even after I contacted him to remind him about the four walks, he only walked them 3 times. He was also totally unreliable for pictures. He would send them when it seemed like it suited him. And we also noticed him not setting the alarm when he would step out. We are not tyrants. We would allow him to use whatever groceries he wanted. We allowed him to bring his girlfriend to stay over as well. My wife even gave him a voucher to take his girlfriend out for dinner on one of the days. But he treated our kindness with disrespect. Don’t use this guy. He is totally unreliable.

I thought Brandon was very personable when we did a meet and greet. Sox seemed comfortable with him. I wasn’t home when he picked her up or when he dropped her home. I appreciated the start and end photos but I thought the GPS would Track the actual 30 min walk. I didn’t give Brandon a 5 star rating.because I’m used to dog walkers supplying their own leashes and treats. Maybe I e been spoiled
