Mattie took good care of the cats. That was most important of course. I offered her the use of the master bedroom bed and jetted tub in the master bath. She used the tub and left it dirty even though I left cleaning products for her. She opened a wax sealed bottle of bath oil I had sitting by the tub, and she threw her dirty towel sloppily over the shower rod and bath mat on the floor. She left the dirty sheets on the bed. I left a new loaf of bread in the fridge and told her to help herself. She ate the whole loaf of bread and left me none for my return home. She left the lint filter in the dryer full of lint, and a used towel in the guest bath and bath mat on the floor. She lost the house key. If you hope to have a pet sitter/house sitter use good manners in your home, Mattie is not your ideal house sitter. She is a very nice person. I was surprised that she wasn’t more thoughtful. I don’t imagine many people offer the use of their master bedroom.

Mattie has stayed with Oscar overnight at my home several times. She has been very reliable and communicated well before, during and and upon completing her stay. Each time I have come home to a happy well-cared for dog. Thank you, Mattie.
