As a HO, I have a cleaning gal that comes once a week, so that i won’t have an issue with cleanliness. The housesitter pays her to clean the house, a nominal amount, really.
I had a housesitter couple that liked their deep fried foods and the cleaning gal complained bitterly. It’s not her job to do spring cleaning activities such as washing walls and cabinets sticky with oil. The gardener complained because the used oil was dumped in a garden and everything in the garden died. The couple wanted to leave the sit early to attend an event, so i scrambled for replacement. But here’s the kicker…they wanted a review BEFORE my return home. I wrote them a good review BEFORE i was aware of the greasy issues, which bothers me because other HO may now have to face the same issue. The moral of the story is to write reviews only after inspection!
