beware of unstable “providers.” i had a woman watching my senior dog on and off for the past few weeks while her owner is out of the house with health problems. “julie d” seemed very nice and helpful and even lives in the same neighborhood. however there were some problems with her professionalism. she somehow hides her reviews on the site, only corresponds through text, not the app, and prefers to be paid in cash, also no way to track it. she sends me an angry text rant when she thought i wasn’t going to pay her when i canceled on her at the last minute. i did pay her way MORE than what she would’ve made had i not canceled and gave her extra money for christmas totaling $250. she failed to give Peanut the medication with which she was tasked. she failed to replace the gate at the top of the steps so my dog didnt fall down the stairs when she leaves. she also dropped Peanut off at the house for 8 hours without telling us when we paid for Peanut to be at julies house overnight for three nights so she wouldnt be alone. the only reason i know this is because i had to stop in quick to pick up clothing for my dad, and to my surprise peanut was there! there was no text, no explanation until i contacted her on my own. she touts how honest she is, but she is a nut and not trustworthy. on new years eve, i texted her to let her know i wasn’t going to need her services anymore as i found a permanent home for Peanut- she didn’t even ask where the dog was going before she went on an even worse and hurtful angry unhinged rant. her exact words were, “A permanent place??? Her place is HOME with her owner. Your dad comes back to an empty house. It breaks your heart? So DONT. Your girlfriend and u ..that is SHAMEFUL. Do u know she SHAKES WITH FEAR? do u know how safe when home? HEARTLESS. Shame on u..karma..will happen that place will be found for u when you're old. Not listening to message. Selfish selfish. Terrible girlfriend..terrible. heartless. Thats all u cam do? U can keep her home..no one wants to keep 17 year old dog..shameful!!!!“ i told her that the dog better be at the house when i got there and rushed over there. peanut was there thank goodness. little did she know, the dog is going to a happy home that can take care of her better than we can. to make matters even worse, she stole dog food on her way out! these “providers” are apparently vetted, but an additional psychological exam should be issued. she is THE most evil and unstable person i have had the misfortune of dealing with. caveat emptor. this individual watches peoples CHILDREN too which is an even scarier thought. stay far away from care.com so you dont have a horrible experience like i did.
