Dog Sitters in Carmel, IN

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.

Megan was dependable, communicative, friendly, and over all a pleasure to interact with. We had great communication and I felt very comfortable entrusting our animals to her. She was very responsive during the sit and offered to go the extra mile for us when we thought we might be away an extra night. I would say your house and home are in good hands with Megan

It was such a pleasure to meet Eileen and know that our dog, Lexi, was going to receive the best care possible during our trip. Eileen not only provided excellent care and followed our instructions carefully, but she also kept the house clean and organized. She is personable and friendly, and we really enjoyed getting to know her a little before we left! In addition, she is reliable and conscientious, and we highly recommend her. We hope that she will be available for future sits when we need care for Lexi!

We're new to zeewoi and Ashley was thoughtful and patient with us as we figured out how to make the stay a comfortable one. We have a variety of animals (dogs, goats, llamas) and she was able to take care of all of them with no problem. The house was also immaculate when we returned, very grateful to have Ashley keep tabs on things here.

Tara and Michael were fantastic with Sparky & Joey! Both cats even felt comfortable and happy enough to lie on their backs with their bellies exposed, which is a great sign of trust. Tara and Michael sent photos every day, which I loved, and left the house in great condition. I highly recommend them!

I am delighted to provide a heartfelt review for Ann, who without a doubt stands out as the finest pet sitter we have ever had the privilege of working with. In the midst of a natural disaster involving wildfires here in Lahaina, Ann's exceptional professionalism and unwavering commitment truly shone through. During this challenging time, Ann's performance was nothing short of remarkable. Faced with circumstances beyond our control that prevented us from returning home, Ann displayed an exceptional level of preparedness and resilience. She took charge of the situation with admirable determination, ensuring the safety and well-being of our beloved dog. Her dedication was underscored by her willingness to extend her stay to provide care and support during the crisis. Throughout the ordeal, Ann exhibited a level of grace and composure that can only be described as exemplary. Ann's ability to remain calm, communicative, and positive during such adversity was a testament to her exceptional character. Her continuous updates and thoughtful communication eased our concerns even while we were unable to be there ourselves. Ann's actions during this time solidified her status as a true guardian for our furry friend. In fact, it is hard to express in words the depth of our gratitude for Ann's unwavering commitment and selflessness. Her actions were nothing short of angelic, and we can wholeheartedly say that we could not have asked for a better, more reliable, and compassionate sitter for our pet. Ann's resilience, coupled with her genuine concern for both our pet, sets her apart in a league of her own. As we reflect on this experience, we are left with immense admiration for Ann's incredible qualities. We sincerely hope to have the opportunity for Ann to care for our dog, Bexley, again in the future. Her presence brought us immense comfort during a trying time, and we are profoundly grateful for all that she did. In summary, Ann's performance as a pet sitter during the wildfire crisis was truly extraordinary. Her unwavering dedication, calm demeanor, and positive outlook make her an outstanding choice for anyone seeking the very best care for their beloved pets. We wholeheartedly recommend Ann to anyone in need of a reliable and compassionate pet sitter.

Our cats love Gigi. She is a superior communicator. She shares pictures of the cats with us while we are away, which my wife loves. Gigi takes great care of our home as well, which is a nice bonus and unlike other sitters we have used. She's a gem.

Charlee and Gleb were great home and pet sitters. They worked to become comfortable with all three of our pets, walked Lady our dog, kept the house neat, and communicated with us as to how the sit was working. They both are caring adults with positive attitudes and personalities. I enjoyed meeting both of them and having them sit for us. I would have them again and highly recommend them as sitters.

John was very personable and made this sit happen after having a car accident a few days before. He loved Pepper and gave him loads of love. Pepper needed medication which he did and did what no other sitter has ever done…he brushed his teeth daily , that’s dedication! We were in Scotland and had cummication every day. Thank you John. A pleasure meeting you!

Bermet was reliable, clean, communicative, and easy going. Would definitely have her sit again!

Courtney was fantastic. This was my first time using a dog sitter and I was anxious. Buster is 16 years old and requires meds and tons of company to alleviate anxiety. Courtney was great with Buster, took great care with his meds/walks, etc. She is a joy to deal with, extremely communicative and my house was in better order when I got home from my trip than when I left it! I was lucky to get her -- and you will be, too. Fingers crossed she is available the next time I need someone!

We've absolutely loved having Jeanette care for our pup and home for the 3rd time now. We trust her and Mark, and everything just goes smoothly. Highly recommend!
