I’ve been experiencing a growing number of HOs that are intentionally leaving their homes very dirty/dusty, esp the common spaces, and had to abandon 3 sits due to unlivebable filth/hoarding/clutter/pest infestations (cockroches, mice, bedbugs, fruit flies, etc). Are you expecting the sitter to clean your homes? Just curious. There have only been 2 sits where the home is as clean as I keep my own home and I did not have to clean the home before I felt I could even bring my belongings inside.
