Adrienne is such a warm, fun, outgoing lady. She took wonderful care of Harley & Rusty, walking them at least twice a day. She definitely bonded with them. She sent pictures & kept us updated while we were gone. Adrienne seemed to enjoy her time here (taking lots of pictures). She met many of our neighbors & their dogs. It was nice she came a full day ahead of time so that we could show her around The Villages, especially getting around in our golf cart to restaurants, grocery stores, an entertainment area & swimming pool. After driving Adrienne around in the golf cart the day she arrived, my husband had her drive the golf cart the next morning before we left so she could get familiar with driving it. She did struggle with finding her way around in the golf cart after we left, even though we left maps of The Villages & told her about The Villages app with GPS. Because she was uncomfortable getting around in the golf cart, she asked a neighbor to help her & he took her to get groceries. We feel bad that she wasn't able to find her way around while she was here. We've labelled the light/fan switches in the house. Some of the switches (indicated with a red dot) control lights that are on a timers and we informed Adrienne about the meaning of the red dot. She must have accidentally manually turned off the living room light that was on a timer and didn't realize it, so it was dark in the living room. We typically leave out extra light bulbs in case one goes out. Well, we forgot this time to leave them out & of course, a bulb in the guest bedroom went out while we were gone. But Adrienne was self sufficient & used the lantern I left. Upon our return, she indicated she didn't contact us to find out where extra bulbs were because the lantern worked fine; so glad she found a solution! The only downside of this sit was the cleanliness of our home upon our return. Our dogs primarily stay in the enclosed lanai & they go outside through the lanai door. When they come in from outside, dried grass comes in on their paws (especially when it's damp outside) so we're totally understanding about grass in the lanai. However, there was a lot of dried grass in the house, especially the kitchen. When I mentioned it to Adrienne, she said it must have come in on her shoes because the dogs had not been in the house. Also, something had run over in the microwave & hadn't been cleaned up so I had to clean the microwave before I could use it the night of our return. Dishes were left in the dishwasher. Adrienne did wash the guest bedroom sheets before we came home, but she stayed the night of our return & slept in the bed again (she said she only sleeps on the very edge of the bed so the other side was clean for the next people using the guest bedroom). We really liked Adrienne & she was excellent with our dogs, which is the most important thing! We would ask her to sit for us again with our expectations of home cleanliness.

Juno and Bonnie are such sweeties! Juno can be shy at first, but once she warms up it's the best, and Bonnie is a very affectionate cat (once she emerges from hiding). We loved doing this sit, and tasting so many gorgeous kinds of cacao!

Catherine
Catherine is friendly and easy to get on with. 
We were walked around the apartment and given detailed explanations for each animal and were also given a printed copy detailing individual needs along with excellent information about public transportation and local amenities.
Zelda settled down with us quickly, was easy to look after and enjoyed her walks.
A friendly neighbour looked after Zelda for us for three days which enabled us to do some sightseeing at Bern, Lucerne and Zurich.
When he wasn’t following us around, Duke is so chilled out he literally spent a lot of time lying on his back with his legs in the air, Lucy was the first to jump up on our laps demanding fuss and Peanut is a big soft bundle of fluff who, like Duke loves to be groomed.
Thank you Catherine for trusting us to look after your family and home.

Emily
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Emily and Andrews lovely house. Kaya is a beautiful friendly dog , and the chickens are great fun. Guinea pigs were new for us to look after and it all went well. The town of Sax is a nice typical Spanish town and found an amazing Tapas bar called Casa Vieja.  Recommended.

This was a very smooth and easy house sit.  Jennifer was very welcoming, provided everything I needed and left clear and concise instructions, but was available to answer any questions. However, that wasn't necessary because of her thoroughness.
Harper and Rhys are adorable.  Harper loves to give hugs and Rhys is the happiest dog I've ever seen.  Her tail wags continually.  They are well-behaved, easy to walk in their quiet, safe neighborhood.
I enjoyed my stay and really loved spending mornings and evenings on their screened porch with the big screen television and listening to birdsong.  I would highly recommend this sit and hope to do it again in the future.
