| - I feel like I have written a review for Purrfect Pawsitting before... but whatever. I am housecleaning today.
Anyway, I thought I had found exactly what we were looking for in a pet sitter when I came across Purrfect Pawsitting. I was so wrong. My husband and I happily used Jessika and Rachel several times for short trips to San Diego and Tucson... referred them to our family and friends, planned to use them forever. They started out so wonderful.
Then, we took a babymoon. I was 4 months pregnant, and we were saving every penny, but decided that we needed one last awesome vacation before he arrived. So, we booked ourselves a week in Seattle.
We left early one morning, and I asked in my standard "how to care for the dogs" note that R & J call us when they arrived. Going by their contract, I expected that to be prior to about 7pm (14 hours since our departure). 7pm passed, 8pm, 9pm (you get the picture). I called and called them. Several, increasingly panicky messages were left. By midnight, my husband and I were beside ourselves with worry - thinking our dogs had been inside (with no access to a bathroom) since 5am. We couldn't reach R & J by phone or email, and we were considering getting a flight home first thing in the morning (to the tune of thousands of dollars lost... ). We did not want to rely on our neighbors to care for our dogs for the entirety of our trip.
Finally, the next morning, I get a call. A somewhat bored, "what is your problem" kind of call, telling me that R & J had arrived around 8pm, then left again, to return after midnight.
Long story shorter, R & J did a half-assed job. They ruined an expensive non-stick pot with a metal fork. There was makeup all over the bathrooms, on the door handles, everywhere. The house was a mess. I would not feel comfortable leaving my dogs with them ever again after what happened, besides the fact that my house was a wreck when we got home. Nothing is worse than coming home from a long trip to a dirty house. Nothing. My only consolation is that I didn't come home to dead dogs or a house full of poop and pee - thank goodness for caring neighbors.
AND, after all that, Rachel & Jessika fired us! We were fired for expecting our dogs to be cared for in a reasonable and humane way. We were fired for relying on friends to care for our dogs when we couldn't reach the people we had paid to watch them.
I would never use R & J again. Never.
