| - In terms of service, it started off very fine but when it went left it did. It was challenging for us because basic instructions were not followed in how to successfully work with our dogs. Not cleaning up poo daily was the first red flag, then not using the command terms provided correctly was 2nd, then 3rd my dogs feeding area was moved to outside without approval. Last disappointment was Vanessa advising me while I'm on a business trip she was quitting service due to her discomfort with my larger GSD. I was clear we did not have fit but the tactic was what got me. So I cannot give a favorable review for this company, but I recommend when looking for a sitter to take reviews seriously (always factor constructive criticism vs personal rants) then make your decision from there. Sitters, often have experience with dogs and have a loving nature which is terrific but for a premium service, real skilled training may be required, so also consider that in your decision making.
As the owner I play the biggest role in this not working out. My mistake was not ensuring the skill level was there for my dogs and actually taking the time to run through some drills/demos to see the handler in action.
I can't leave a review and not provide something positive. The rates are worth you looking into this company, but be mindful every sitter is not for every dog. Vanessa is sweet and trustworthy to come into your home, so it was not surprising my dogs loved her. But the inconsistency in style, approach, coupled with unapproved changes to routine and handling didn't work out for us.
