Dog Sitters in Friendswood, IN

Five stars aren't enough. Tracy is a cool cat who jives with the pooches. She is the personification of my most favorite side-effect of this site -- when sitters become your friend. I'd welcome her back in a heartbeat.

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.

Bill and Marsha were great - they changed my AC filter and shower head, raked the lawn, left flowers and cookies for Valentine’s Day! They sent pics nearly every day and were in contact often. Couldn’t have asked for better sitters.

Hannah was wonderful with our fur babies! They tend to be very shy around new people but warmed up to Hannah quickly. She was very attentive to Neve during a storm and to Beetle when she stepped on a bee. And sent cute photos which we appreciated! Will happily have her back!

Chloe, our cat, is in great hands with Madeline. Cant say enough good things. Highly recommend.

A+++++. Greg did an amazing job with our fur babies. He kept them spoiled like we do and sent us updates on a regular basis. He also kept the house very neat and clean. Would definitely invite back to our home again!

CJ watched my dog for a week and was very go with the flow! My dog can be a lot to handle (he’s a puppy) and CJ handled him with grace! He sent pictures to update me throughout the week of their walks. When I came back from my trip my house was spotless - he even washed the sheets which I do not expect! He left a sweet note and a guest book as well which I thought was extremely thoughtful!

Sally was an amazing guest and she took great care of Boston and Blaze. We feel like we hit the jackpot with her. I wish she could come and stay with the boys every time!

Cynthia was a great sitter! She was very communicative, letting me know when she arrived, if she had questions, and when she left. She also sent me daily updates and pics of my "kids." The cats seemed to warm up to her very quickly, and my house was spotless when I returned. Highly recommend!

I would have Jessica back to look after my dog anytime! My dog was so calm and relaxed when I got home and had clearly had a lovely time. She can be quite reactive with other dogs but Jessica dealt with this easily. My flat was beautifully clean and tidy when I returned. She is also very lovely, kind and calm; exactly the sort of person you want caring for your loved pets. Thank you Jessica 😊

Michelle did a great job on the house sit. I highly recommend her.

Mattey looked after our two bengals when we were on holiday and did a great job. It wasn’t easy for her as one of our cats got injured but she coped amazingly and they were so happy: she is welcome any time!
