Exploring the World Through Pet Sitting: This is Our Journey!

Here is our adventure in housesitting, with lumps, bumps and all!  Our origin story is at the bottom, as the first blog post.  Enjoy the ride.

The morning after we arrived home, I had a notification for one of the saved house sit locations I had been obsessing over.  I was excited to check it out!  I popped open the app, and...  it wouldn't let me look at it until after I had completed my review of our Buffalo house sit!  So I texted it all in - probably forgot a number of things - but gave them 5/5 stars.  They were excellent in their communications, instructions, the place was clean and fit with the listing.  All in all it felt like we were old friends.  I submitted it and waited.  The pet parent doesn't get to see our review of them until they put in their review of us (and yes, there is a time limit - you only have so many days to get it done, or it stays blank and doesn't help anyone!)

 

So we waited.  I knew we would be waiting for a few days since they were getting back late.  But I did get a couple of texts from them - as they discovered a couple of things we had left for them.  Finally I received a notification that our reference was done!  It was a lovely recommendation, saying we were Cat Whisperers, as we had Chani more active than she had been in years, and fully participating with us by dinner the first night when she usually hides from pet sitters for a day or more.  We also had lovely comments about the notes and little gifts, and that we left the house cleaner than they gave it to us (including the stove and the pans!).  Yaaayyy!!!  PERFECT SCORE!

 

Would we go back there again?  Yes we would!  Although next time we pet sit my husband needs to bring a project to work on.  (We were definitely in an adjustment period from RUSH RUSH to Oh, I can do whatever I want now, no hurry - and you can get stuck into the I'm bored, I don't know what to do mindset.)

 

Game on!
