Joseph took care of our cat and house-sat for us for 2 weeks. In advance of our trip, we were able to do both a virtual and in-person meet and greet to ensure everyone felt comfortable and do a walk through of the house, which we really appreciated.While we were away, Joseph responded quickly to texts/any questions we sent and provided photo and text updates every 1-2 days. Upon our return, our cat seemed happy. Unfortunately, the day of our return, Joseph accidentally locked himself out of our house. He communicated with us and we were able to provide him access to a backup key. However, when we returned home about an hour and a quarter later, we were surprised to find that he was still there (he was supposed to have left much earlier in the day before we arrived home, and we knew he was running a little behind because of the lockout, but he didn’t tell us he would still be there when we walked in). He texted us that the house was clean and ready for us, but unfortunately the house was not clean and the cat litter boxes were quite smelly and appeared not to have been changed or scooped in many days. While we realize that getting locked out of the house created some delays in getting packed and tidying the house, we were upset to find the kitty litter in that state and for the clear disorganization, at least in the final day. We provided this feedback directly to Joseph and hope that this was a one-time experience. However, we would urge clear communication around any expectations for cleaning, communication, and care.

Arabella
Anna is amazing! Not only is she a wonderful, gentle, deep thinking and beautiful person, but she also looked after our Irish terrier, hamster and house wonderfully! It was very reassuring to know everything was in such good hands when we were away, and to receive the brilliant photographs that Anna took of them every day! I think our dog still misses her generosity of spirit, and all the treats and walks she took him on. Thank you Anna - we couldn't recommend you more highly and all hope you will come back again soon!

Jimmy likes to run, Andrea said and with the abundance of beautiful walks straight from the house we made sure Jimmy ran! He was such good company and so happy. Zola is gorgeous but not quite so keen on walking, however will take as much loving as you can give. The cats graced us with their presence in the evenings, which were spent sitting in the wonderful garden listening to the wildlife. The house is so well organized and the AGA produced some stunning meals. Andy was great to communicate with and  left us detailed written instructions. We helped her out by staying an extra night but could have stayed an extra month! Thankyou so much Andy for such a wonderful experience, can't wait to see photos of the wedding and garden in September.

Lorena
We had such a nice time with Lorena and Thomas' little fur family. The animals were all very affectionate and we had plenty of playtime. The two dogs loved their walks and we were lucky to be shown around all their favourite trails right in the peak of the lush green neighbourhood. Lorena was there when we did the changeover and explained everything very well. She also was easy to contact and answered our questions quickly. We had a great stay and would gladly come again!

Debbie
Debbie and Karen are a lovely couple.   I met Debbie on the first day and we got to know each other over dinner.   She gave me good direction on how to take care of their lovely home and beagle, Jesse.  The Welcome Guide was very inclusive with great instruction.    Jesse is the best dog ever, very smart and easy to take care of.  We became buddies very quickly.    Their home is in a safe, clean, and beautiful neighborhood with great neighbors who  assisted me when there were hurricane warnings.
There's much to do in the The Villages, with golf courses, pools, exercise classes, stores, restaurants, and live music.   It was a great house sit and I would love to return.   I'm thinking of purchasing real estate there.   5 stars!

A most enjoyable sit in every way. Jenny and David could not have been more generous and their home was a delight. The gardens are just beautiful and the setting perfect.
We are missing Clyde already. He’s an absolute treasure,  popping in for his food when the mood takes him then finding a lap to snuggle on in the  evening.
Thank you both for inviting us into your home and look forward to a return visit in the future.
