Our experience using Alitia's was wonderful even though we decided to use the service at the last minute for a spur of the moment holiday weekend. We were paired with a home sitter near us who really wanted to take the time to make sure her home was the perfect home-away from home for our dog. The speed of our pairing was incredible, we were in touch with her within hour or so of placing the request. We had a great holiday and when we got back our pup sure seemed that he had a great time too. We would definitely use this service again and we hope our sitter will be available again. The price was a bit more expensive but it was worth it.
