We drove up to this house and drove away There appeared to be no one home The part of backyard fence seen from road had a hole The next door house had a sketchy exchange going on I would not recommend

In a mix of confussion with all the read reviews, unavailability of 5-star sitters during busy season, and a lack of time to choose a sitter, I selected Jeanna to board my dogchild Tommy for 10 days. Initially she was very approachable, agreed to my care instructions and offered to provide a daily status on my dog’s well-being. The first two days she provided pictures, video and cute comments on how Tommy was doing. As days passed she started to provide less information and there were days I got no status update. I had to ask her for status updates almost daily and she either was busy or many of her replies included “if something was wrong I would’ve told you”. When I asked for videos she said that the video wouldn’t capture anything different from the photo. Most pictures were of Tommy on his bed; I never got a photo of him doing any activities (eating, playing, walking, etc.). When I picked up Tommy he was overly excited to see me, which at the beginning I found lovingly, but then in the car he seemed anxious, as if trying to process where to next. When we finally got home and I was able to check him thoroughly, Tommy and his belongings were all impregnated with a strong smoking smell. His bed was dirty as well. I gave him a bath and his paws were filthy, he also had a coating of something on his fur, which I imagine is a scent spray to unsuccessfully cover up the smoking smell. He played for 1.5 hours straight, which led me to believe he barely got any exercise or activity. I noticed that one of the pictures showed another dog at the house after Jeanna said that she wouldn’t be caring for any more dogs during Tommy’s stay. One of the only 2 videos I received showed Tommy on a long leash outside, distressed (barking), and with his food bowl full, which is unusual for me as he devours his food in seconds. I suspect that Tommy spent a lot of time outside “chained” given that he came back smelly, dirty and with allergies. I never questioned Jeanna’s care (to her) since I was away and needed to make sure that Tommy would stay safe but I never felt comfortable about his well-being.
