Well, our dogs and cat are alive. That's the good part. We will not use Christopher again. He did not empty the cat litter, he left the empty cat food container out and our apt smelled really bad when we got back. We also have a strong suspicion that he did not spend the night based upon some of the text messages we received and the fact that the sheets that we left him were folded exactly as we had given them to him, by the side of the bed. We paid for him to house / pet sit, not to drop by at his convenience to walk and feed the pets. And he had an "emergency" at home so he wasn't there when we arrived back early. The underground parking gate opener was left in the entrance way, further evidence that he didn't spend the night. You cannot park on the streets of Pasadena overnight without a permit, so why was the parking gate opener at the apartment? He did not know the names of our dogs, he kept reversing them, even though they have name tags. We know this based upon the behaviors that he was texting us about. We do not trust Christopher and will not use him again.

Chris was communicative, flexible, prompt, and an overall pleasure to interact with. I’ll be booking him on a regular schedule!
