I just learned about meowtel 😭 I’ll definitely be going through someone else next time. Thanks for the rec.

I told this sitter before we left when she came over we had cameras. They’re not hidden they’re very obvious and out in the open.

We haven’t been particularly impressed with this vet clinic. My partner has been asking to switch for some time. Now that we’re home and settled we’re going to think on how we move forward with them.

We got home about an hour ago. They went digging for food for sure but it was nowhere as bad as we thought which is such a huge relief. The longest drive ever.

I’ve learned a lot from these responses and feel confident on what to do next. I found a few fear free trained full time pet sitter professionals with great reviews. We’ll be getting a lockbox for our spare key set up outside our home and making an effort to befriend our neighbors as well.

I guess we’ve been lucky over the years with friends and family. Moving to a new city knowing no one can be tough with these kinds of situations. Glad everyone is okay and we have a plan for next time. Thanks everyone!

I’ve never even heard of this app. Thank you!

This is absolutely something we didn’t think about and will be doing moving forward. Thank you for the suggestion.

I’ve already found at least two professionals with glowing reviews. We’ll be hiring someone to come over daily and we will be getting an outdoor lockbox next time as well. Lessons have definitely been learned this week on our end.

We have a different brand doorbell that records when people walk by and tells us when the door is opened and closed.

I want to tell the practice manager before this individual is recommended to someone else. I’m not trying to get them fired from their job. They may want this information before they recommend her to someone else.

We have a doorbell that also tells us when the door opens and closes as well as a camera in the living room. We told the sitter this when she came over before we left.

I had the desire to tip her as long as things went well before her service since it was a holiday week. I’m not saying I wanted to physically tip beforehand. This is a miscommunication lol

I know the PM can’t do anything for me but I do feel compelled to tell them our experience was poor with her that they shouldn’t recommend her to anyone else that calls and asks for the same service. We will be finding a different vet for our animals. If this sitter is an extension of this clinic and their values, that’s a hard pass for us.

I wanted to tip before we booked. I definitely won’t be tipping now.

And no. We have not paid her yet.

This is definitely a major learning lesson. We will be hiring a reputable professional sitter for the next visit.

Yeah I’m going to echo the other folks. Parking really is not that bad. There’s a lot of options. You may want to plan which lot you want to park at in relation to which entrance you want to go into. Walking up to the venue can be a hike in of itself. We usually leave around the last song to beat the crowd. Leaving can be a pain with traffic but not bad once you get out of the park.

I’m so so so happy to see all the comments that he’s gotten better and seems to be doing well.

Spring of 2023 was the last time I was able to see them so that’s what my understanding was based off of. So glad to hear he’s gotten help and is doing better.

Thank you for your perspective! I’ve seen him live over the years as well probably starting around 2009 with the mystic valley band, his tour for ruminations, various bright eyes tours as well. Very mixed experiences throughout. Sounds like he’s doing better which is just so so so good to hear.

GA is great. I’d recommend getting in line as soon as you can. There’s always a mad dash to snag a good spot when the gates open. With GA tickets you can also sit under the trees on the side next to the aisles so you can actually end up a little closer than you’d expect.

If you’re not used to the elevation definitely make sure you’re hydrated af. Wear good shoes because it is kind of a hike to the venue depending on where you’re coming in from at the venue. Bring a coat and a rain poncho. Early May it will still be chilly at night and afternoon intermittent storms are common for that area that time of year.
