Description of service

Last year my husband decided he was going to take me and the family on a vacation. It was great but we had to find someone who would house sit for use while we were gone. We were gone for four days and five nights and we paid a 60 dollars per a night for someone to house sit for us.


Review of Service

It was what we wanted. They made sure no one broke in and got our mail and took it into our house everyday while we were gone. The lady even did a couple of dishes that I had forgot about and left in the sink. She also would check the answering machine for us and would call and give us a daily check up. Just to let us know that everything was going okay, and to inform us of anything we may of needed to know. I think if I were to go on a vacation again I would get another house sitter they are very useful.


Tips

If you are considering getting a house sitter make sure it is someone you can trust, after all they are going to be in your house. If you have a family member close by you may want to consider asking them to house sit for you. Also make sure your price is fair, think about what you are asking them to do, then ask yourself if you would do it for that price.
