Sam is professional, tidy, has great communication skills and I would absolutely rely on them again to watch my house and pets while I’m away. Our dog looked so, so happy when we got home, and Sam did an excellent job keeping the cat from murder. (All you can really ask when it comes to sitting a cat!)

When I initially made the reservation at the meet and greet, we discussed availability, expectations and she asked questions. Regarding her schedule, she mentioned she would be out of school by then and only working shifts on the weekends. Reality was she was scheduled to work every day I was gone, with the exception on one. Which was not an issue because I also work full time. Howeve, when I am home, I engage and interact with my dogs, especially the 8 month old puppy that needs attention and development. She mentioned accidents in the house, which didnt occur before her stay or since, because he has been out and engaged. Her level of engagement was to let them out back to use the facilities and sniff, then for her to lay around with her in the room. On one particular day, she left for work around 10 am, returned around 6 pm and they were kenneled for the night at 8 p.m. I normally allow them in the bed and room while sleeping. I expressed understanding that if she didn't want to have that, she could kennel them when she was headed to bed. I did not think I needed to relay to a professional dog sitter that having dogs kenneled ( one of which is a puppy), is not ideal. She speaks to the changes in instructions daily. My instructions were clear, take care of my dogs. To me that meant acting as if they weren't an inconvenience. Regarding the cameras? She said they are "all over the house". There is one in the living room, kitchen and back deck. They are obvious and not hidden, and are for worst case scenario in an emergency.
