  To say Stephen came through for us when we needed him most would be the understatement of the year! Hurricane Irma put multiple house sitters and travelers to the test when the sit we had planned called to let us know they had to cancel their trip and would be staying home. That left us under a potential mandatory evacuation with nowhere to go and Stephen scheduled to hit our doorstep about the same time Irma was projected to make landfall off the coast of Georgia! After coordinating between all parties, Stephen was able to stay at the sit he had already finished to avoid driving into the storm, we postponed our own trip one week and weathered the storm in place, and our cancelled sit even offered us shelter in Charlotte if we needed it! The Trusted HouseSitter community was really looking out for each other during Hurricane Irma, which thankfully for us was less destructive than initially forecast. When Stephen arrived just a day after the storm had hit Savannah, he thoughtfully came with extra food and water, as much of the city was still without power. We really enjoyed having the extra days up front to get to know him and to introduce the quirks of our kids and home, yet he was incredibly respectful of our space and privacy while we were still here. We even felt comfortable enough to ask him before we left if he would be able to extend his stay to accommodate our delayed travel plans. He made a quick phone call to confirm it wouldn't conflict with his next sit and the deal was done. It was so reassuring to not have to get an additional sitter for those last few days! Also the impact he had on Sadie over the last two weeks became obvious to us this morning. When we got in around 1am, our little girl shook the sleep from her eyes long enough to leave Stephen's side and come to bed with us. We woke early this morning to discover Stephen had already left and Sadie wandered the house for quite sometime looking for him, searching every room and asking to go out multiple times to find her new friend; we knew then she had been in tremendously good hands. Stephen left us a clean house, even though he knew our housekeeper would be coming on Friday, and often sent us photos and short videos of our kids playing out back via email. It was a pleasure to have him here and Sadie, Tucket and Dixie each let us know in their own ways they would love to have him back the next time we have to leave them behind.

  Steve has been a regular sitter for us and continues to be the super attentive sitter we have learned to expect, from regular potty runs and long walks, Steve has always been there for us and our dogs when we have been away. + More
