Emmi kindly agreed to come the day before I left which was much appreciated and I was happy to pick her up from the train station. She was a lovely bubbly, friendly person, easy to have in my home. Emmi contacted me once when I was away with a picture of Alfie on a walk and on one other occasion to seek help with feeding Alfie as she had a personal appt that overlapped his evening meal time. I was happy to do this as had offered support like that from sister who lived nearby if she wanted to leave him for longer than the preferred 4-5 hours, something I offer to all my sitters so they can enjoy the local area. Unfortunately she did leave him for longer than I anticipated or my sister would have taken him to her house. I think Emmi struggled with planning ahead travel arrangements to and from Edinburgh perhaps not anticipating how long buses took, though trains half the time but don’t run after midnight. Alfie seemed relaxed around Emmi though I think his walking and feeding routine was not as he was accustomed to. I always tell sitters just to leave the bedding etc as I am happy to do all that when I get home preferring the attention to be on Alfie. Emmi left my home tidy though I would have preferred half eaten food to have been removed from the fridge and maybe the bathroom bin emptied Emmi seemed to have left her packing until the very last minute so was a bit rushed when I got home but we did make it to the train station in time for her onward journey

Five stars isn't enough to describe how I feel about Karen and Mike, the are tens for sure.   Communication with Karen from the start was great and we were quite a few months away from the sit but as the date drew closer it was apparent Karen was going to be a great fit and was happy for her that her husband was able to join her on her six hour+ drive to my home.   I was panicked as they were on their way, my cable and wifi  went down and this was a my home only issue.   My pleas to my provider only got a technician coming out two days later.   Thankfully with all their southern charm, they were understanding and reassured me all that mattered was they were flexible and easy and would have a great time there with my girl Tillie.     We had a great meal together and I showed them around the expansive Villages.  What an awesome couple, who are pet people and foster cats.   My Tillie was sitting on Karen's lap (rather than mine) while enjoying our evening together.
They got up early with my daughter and I as we left.   Karen sent me lovely pictures of Tillie's interactions and how she enjoyed sitting on the lanai with Mike each morning while he did his crossword.  As I mentioned, communicaiton was very good.
Karen let me know bright and early Sunday that Comcast replaced my Amplifier which had given out (common issue she was told), so by their second day everything was back up and I was so relieved.    As a HO and sitter, I know how important wifi is to many of us.   Without a doubt, Karen took care of Tillie AND my home as if it were hers.
I told Karen she could leave early the day my cruise returned and we had texts that morning as we had a few stops before home.    When I did get home, my house was perfect.  She also left a gorgeous bouquet of flowers in the most unusal vase that blew me away.   I thought I did nice things for my hosts, but I will have to step up my game.   In addition, Mike replaced the weather stripping on Tillies cat door insert and Karen replaced my hair dryer that died that was beyond my expectations.   
I've probably been too wordy here, but I could go on and on about this loving couple.     I know Karen is starting out on this journey but if she applies to sit for you, grab her and consider yourself lucky.    She is awesome and so is her husband if he comes too.
