We used Mel a couple time for just a few hours of sitting our pets and it seemed fine. Then we used her for a weekend and it was a mess. Now in all fairness one of our adopted dogs (we have 4) was from a very abusive home and he can be difficult to get to go outside as he tends to hide under the bed, but Mel was well aware of this issue. We went away for the weekend and as near as we can tell she left that dog locked up in our bedroom all weekend (the poop and pee was all over the room). I say as near as I can tell because Mel was not here when we returned as we had thought she would be. Now Mel knew she could call us while we were away if she had any problems and we would return home, but she never called either my wife or I (nor any of the other emergency contacts we left her). Additionally, she made no effort to contact us after our return until after I finally called her. She never came the next day as she told my wife she would do to collect her money and return our key. As a result after a few days I changed the front door lock. About a month later, when we were away, she apparently stopped by long enough to toss the key on our front porch. Now like I say, that one dog is difficult to deal with (not mean or anything like that, just scared of people and therefore hides), but clearly her decision making and actions were not that of the type person that I would want leave in charge of the care of my pets.
