I did not have a positive experience booking house sitting with Samantha. She rarely sent any updates and only sent one photo late at night (if that), and most updates and communication between us had to be prompted by me. Even when receiving any communication back, it would take at least 6+ hours to get a photo of my cat, which I think is weird since she had said she was a graduate student that works from home and would have no problem spending most of the day with my cat most days. If she was actually there at all during the day, why didn't I receive any daytime photos?? Especially when I asked for one? When I asked about this she said she was out doing drop ins with other peoples animals. So nice of her to provide updates and photos to others but not to me. When I brought up my disappointment to her i was told that most pet parents "trust her and are fine without updates unless she has a question or concern", even though that's 1), not what we discussed and 2) not what her bio or reviews indicate at all. I actually ended up trusting her so little I ended the booking early and had to hire another sitter. She gets 1 star for keeping my cat alive. Since I'm not exactly sure what else she did I can't give any stars for anything else.

Samantha was awesome! She did a great job taking care of my cat and always gave great updated and pictures.
