The good: Jesse communicated well prior to the visit and was flexible with start time as we had to leave our dogs at 6 am for a flight. When we arrived home the house was clean. The bad: he had broken a mirror and didn’t tell us. But now for the reason of the one star, the day before we were scheduled to arrive home, we noticed the dogs had been locked in the house for 12 hours, so we contacted him with no response, 6 hours later (at 18 hours without him returning home and we still hadn’t heard from him) we requested our friends, who were waking up, to pick up our dogs and watch them until we arrived home later that evening. We eventually heard from Jesse 30 hours after he had left our home and the dogs. He apologized, but the last evening of our vacation we were filled with anxiety and concern for the well being of our dogs and calling different people/public services into the early morning to figure out how to get them cared for. Had he communicated prior to leaving them that something had happened so he could no longer care for the dogs, we could have taken action, but instead he left the dogs who didn’t have access to water, food and potty breaks.

Jesse was terrific - easygoing and able to accomodate an older dog no problem. Thank you!
