We appreciate the sitter's willingness to watch our dog Rey on short notice, but unfortunately our experience was not what we had hoped for. When we arrived, we were surprised by how many animals were in the home—two very large Irish Wolfhounds, two other guest dogs, and a cat—all in a relatively small space. With so many animals in a confined space, the environment felt overcrowded and not very hygienic. We were also concerned to learn (from a picture sent in an update) that Rey had been crated without prior discussion or consent. While we understand that managing multiple pets can be challenging, we would have appreciated clear communication and the opportunity to decide what was best for our dog. This sitter may be a better fit for dogs who are already crate-trained and very comfortable in a high-energy, multi-pet environment, but it wasn’t the right match for Rey.

Tasha was great with our pup and sent us lots of check in videos. He seemed very well cared for.
