Was a comfort to know whoever we hired had been checked out and we could see reviews on their site. We needed someone on short notice, and they gave us many choices. The young lady we hired was great. She came to meet and greet us and our fur babies before the actual sitter date. She left us notes and took pictures while she was her,Only negative was the varied costs. Apparently, each sitter sets their own costs. Some of them seemed like they wanted too much money for the short time we needed them to be here.
