®Destination Sitters' Reviews
Very easy to organize. Martha herself was a wonderful sitter and arrived early for a very early 5am start.
Peace of mind. You do not feel like you are bringing a 'complete stranger' into a hotel room to sit with your children. Knowing that applicants are screened in advance is a great asset. The entire transaction was very thorough and professional. Very much appreciated the contract from the follow-up phone call with confirmation of sitter and name. The email confirmation prior to her arriving. In addition, the sitter had a written contract to sign. Lastly, the follow up receipt and this survey. Some may think this is 'overkill' but there have been times when you book through a hotel or resort you just are not sure the sitter will show up. This was completely the opposite! Highly recommend this service!
I was happy to know that Destination Sitters covers more areas regarding background checks than other agencies offer. They actually listened to our needs for our child as well as our child's needs, and they followed through on recommending an appropriate sitter focused on our child's needs. I was extremely happy to know that there were male sitters for my son, as my son preferred to be with a buddy more. The sitter was still responsible yet fun, having great listening skills, a ton of patience and a continuous positive attitude in regard to family relationships and one's growth. The Sitter, Todd was a great fit for us all, and my son enjoyed having him around. We would consider using Destination Sitters again, and we really like the fact of having options of both male and female sitters, especially when my son is in that age of needing more of a buddy who is both reliable and safe. We were greatly satisfied with his overall care in the he time spent with our son. We were visiting from Canada and are extremely happy with Destination Sitters and we would definitely consider using them again! They are very accommodating, and they truly care about having things run smoothly, so you may have peace of mind.
Sharon looked after our 9-month-old son Loris for us while in San Diego. She was so lovely and reassuring as we hadn't left our son with anyone before, other than family members. Sharon was so easy going and we left out son knowing he would be safe and happy. Sharon left a lovely book for our son as she said he liked it so much, which was so sweet and thoughtful. Sharon was wonderful and we thank her for her services. Thank you!!!
Love the website, easy to book, quick response when I left a vm. Linda was fantastic. Loved that she was pretty much an expert in watching kids at hotels! Most sitters don't have that experience. She was awesome. She texted us to let us know the kids were asleep, which I loved. Very impressed with her.
Yvonne was very helpful in finding the perfect sitter for us. Our son has epilepsy, and she was very reassuring that she could find the right person, with medical training even, to ensure our son got his medications and to ensure we felt comfortable leaving him with a stranger. We typically only leave our two boys with relatives, so this was a leap for us. But our sitter, Sharon, warmed up to our children and our friend's children instantly and all 4 kids really liked her.
