Joan is a very respectful house sitter. She took very good care of our house during our trip outside the country. The garden was daily watered, the house was very clean, she took the trash out on time every week, was very discreet and friendly with neighbors. She is very responsible and I would recommend her for any house sitting! Communication is fluid and very friendly. I felt I rented my place to friends or family!
