There is no doubt London loves animals, and it was clear she showed that love to our puppy, dog, and cat. The animals seem happy, and she started teaching our puppy to commands (e.g., sit). The animals excitedly ran up to greet her when she came to drop off the key to our home after our return. We came home to a mostly clean and organized house (with a couple of notable exceptions). She was responsive when we reached out to her. The job we hired to her to do (i.e., a two-week-long house/pet sitting gig) involved a lot of work and attention, especially given we have a puppy. Although we have a good-sized, indoor kennel area for the puppy, she did not appear to watch the puppy as closely as we asked her to when she had the puppy outside of the kennel. For example, we found a collection of puppy-sized droppings in an upstairs room and discovered the puppy had gotten into the cat's litter box, which contains pellets that are dangerous to a dog's health if ingested. She only disclosed the issue with the litter box after I told her we discovered pellets on our living room floor. We discovered additional issues by periodically checking our outdoor security system during our time away. We contacted her about these issues, and she immediately responded with an apology, which we appreciated. However, she did not initiate contact with us (e.g., updates, pictures, questions) throughout the majority of our trip. Overall, London is a friendly pet-lover, and I would consider hiring her again for a shorter-term job that involved the care of adult pets.

Thank you for being available last minute! Such a relief to know Thor was in good hands on these last minute longer work days!!
