This was the experience no one ever wants to have using a new sitter through a new app in a new state. Paris was more of a pop in sitter than a house sitter. She didn’t follow our instructions or routines. We communicated with her very clearly before the stay with our expectations and routines and needs and she agreed to all of it. We are still shocked at how the actual stay went. She had other family members help out when she was at work (which she never told us about having to do during her stay), using them to feed the dogs and let them outside. Her family members were over an hour late at times, took our dogs on a walk and got attacked by a neighbor dog, and one of our dogs broke off the leash and ran off (thankfully he was smart enough to run home but the thought of what could have happened is terrifying). We did not meet these people, nor did we vet them for their skills. They didn’t put shock collars on our dogs like we do for safety and training and had no intention of following our schedule for feeding our dogs or letting them outside on time. During this eventful escapade of 48 hours, our dogs were left alone for hours and hours on end, injured on that fateful walk (thankfully the bleeding stopped quickly), and honestly traumatized from the whole experience. Paris did not show up on time when she said she would and attempted to not stay the night. She did reimburse us money for the stay (her idea), but the stress and anxiety and fear we had completely ruined our 2 days away, and we will not be using her services again.

Paris was awesome with our pup. She kept us updated and sent pics. We will definitely seek her services again!
