Melissa is a wonderful pet and house sitter! What a joy to come home to happy pets and a house so well taken care of. Melissa might be the best pet sitter we have ever had. We received daily updates and photos of the pets and their activities. Melissa was extremely responsive to communication with text and email. She was totally game to learn how to live in the wilderness with woodstove and snow. Melissa left the house cleaner than we left it! Auttie and Milo were totally spoiled going on multiple walks daily and for miles and miles of uphill woodland roads. Their expectations have been raised to a new bar. Melissa is a lovely human being and we hope we get to have her stay with our family again sometime. Melissa is the best!

This was Bridgette's second time as our sitter and once again, we are blown away by her  with skills with pets.  Our sweet dog is very nervous and HATES it when we are away.   Bridgette gave so much love and attention to our dog that he managed our absence calmly and pleasantly. Bridgette sent many pics to let us know how he was doing.   We returned to a sparkling clean home which is another reason why Bridgette is 5 stars!   She is terrific!

Lindsay
Lindsay was a strong communicator. Her home, located in a brownstone subdivision, was filled with interesting furniture & floral artwork. She has an affinity for stained glass. The location was less than 10 miles from McKay's Used Books and Music... and, relatively close to, the Harpeth River hiking spots: Hidden Lake and The Narrows.

There was Alexa in the kitchen with Amazon Music. In the driveway, there was an adjustable basketball hoop. On the way in, 2 blocks from the house, there was a half court with a rim at regulation height. I found 2 basketballs in the garage and Lindsay had an air pump. Together, we were able to reposition items in the garage, which allowed me to park my car inside during my stay. I cleaned off a mountain bike & inflated the tires – bike riding was limited in the immediate area.

The cats made me laugh and smile, every day, with their antics. They would chase, spar, wrestle, cuddle and lick one another. Initially, Johnny was outgoing & June was reserved. Johnny “StringBean” was a rebel child and JuneBug “Buggy” was the follower. Within a few days, June warmed up and was regularly approaching for pets. She engaged with the dangling toy & leapt high in the air.  Johnny hung around like a dog: he responded to treats; even begged for people-food. Putting them in the catio helped to break up the day. In the heat of summer, morning time was best. Leave them in there long enough and they'll sing a duet: “Jackson,” anyone?

Be careful moving through the house; they can be underfoot. June liked her belly rubbed and Johnny liked his bum. I suspect Johnny wants to be an outdoor cat – he was frequently asking to go out. In addition to the catio, I found a cat backpack at the top of the garage. I put Johnny in it many times to go outside. They went through a phase where they wanted to go in the garage; in addition to various other phases of interest. The cat area was mostly automated. I added a scoop of litter every 2 or 3 days. The biscuits were bagged and the collection was emptied once a week. I topped off the food tower 3 times in 5 weeks. The litter area required sweeping once or twice per day, and a deeper cleaning once per week. There was no problem confining them, overnight, in the primary bathroom.

I briefly met the dog, Purdy. She was super friendly. She loved to eat and jump-up. I always appreciate a dog that eats veggies. She played a little rough, though. When she lay across my lap, it was as if she was unaware of her size.

There were no indoor plants, and cleaning was pretty easy – Lindsay had a vacuum & a battery-operated leaf blower for the exterior. She arranged for a house cleaner to come near the end of my stay. The summer drought required regular watering of outdoor plants, 2 – 3 times per week. The hydrangeas on the north side of the house were the most sensitive. When it went from bad to worse, I watered the front lawn. The neighbors, who approached to introduce themselves, told me the grass wasn't drought-resistant. All in all, I'm eternally grateful to Lindsay for selecting me as her pet-sitter.
