I booked Sarah for a 3 day house sit in my apartment with my senior dog. I can say Sarah was clean, friendly, and was responsive when I messaged her. However, I had some concerns upon my return that my instructions weren’t fully followed throughout the stay. During the booking request process, Sarah confirmed that my dog shouldn’t be left longer than 5 hours with her schedule. I prefaced that she can be alone for 5 hours, but anything longer is typically when she needs a potty break. I explained I usually walk her 3 times morning, afternoon, and evening for 20-30 mins and a quick potty break before bed. I requested that she walk my dog in between the 5 hour periods and stay the night. Sarah agreed to this over message and during the meet and greet. The first day of the stay went accordingly. On the second day, my front door ring showed that my dog had been left alone from 10:45 am to 5:45 pm (7 hours), followed by a <10 minute potty break, and left alone again from 5:55 pm - 12:30 am (6.5 hours). I messaged Sarah politely asking about it and reiterated that I prefer to leave her alone for 5 hours, maybe 6 max. Sarah reassured that my dog was getting a minimum of 3 10-20 minute walks a day (weather permitting). She also shared that the next day she only had one meeting and that my dogs care was scheduled in between 5 hour rotating windows. However, I returned home the next day at 6:45 pm, 30 minutes after Sarah had left for the end of the stay, to find my dog had an accident in the apartment. This prompted me to check my Ring to find my dog was let out for <10 minute potty break in the morning, left alone again from 10:30 am to 6 pm (7.5 hours), before being let out for <5 minutes before Sarah left for the end of stay. I do not feel as though the instructions I left and that we agreed on were followed consistently and with proper communication. I do not believe this was a good fit and I would not rebook.

Took great care of our 2 dogs and 2 cats! They were all calm and happy when we got home.
