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.

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.

Once again we were lucky enough to have Karen housesit.  We are never disappointed.  She always leaves our home feeling lovely with flowers and my dog definitely looks forward to his time with her as when I say her name he starts jumping up and down.  She is a treasure !
