Pet Sitters in Miller, IN

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.

It was such a pleasure to meet Eileen and know that our dog, Lexi, was going to receive the best care possible during our trip. Eileen not only provided excellent care and followed our instructions carefully, but she also kept the house clean and organized. She is personable and friendly, and we really enjoyed getting to know her a little before we left! In addition, she is reliable and conscientious, and we highly recommend her. We hope that she will be available for future sits when we need care for Lexi!

Lorraine house-sat for us for 10 days and watched our beloved pets. The house was spotless when we returned. While house sitting, she took excellent care of our two little Schnauzers, Heidi and Belle and frequently sent us photos and updates. She walked the dogs frequently and also cleaned up the yard. We are so happy that our dogs got to stay in their home while we were out of town with such a wonderful caretaker. I highly recommend Lorraine. She is a lovely person and we hope to have her again.

Thoughtful, considerate, and clean sitters! Nicole and Maggie were the perfect sitters. We completely trusted our kitties and house in their competent hands. We traveled abroad, and they were flexible with messaging apps, took into account time zones, and let us know when they were home if we wanted anything checked. They obviously love animals and got to know the individual personalities of our boys. They even kept an extra look out and sent videos of one of the kitties who may have hurt himself before we left. They celebrated cat lap time and didn't neglect play. When we arrived home, sheets and towels had been washed, the house was sparkling clean, and even some kitchen amenities were restocked. It was wonderful to come home to our space just how we left it, and our kitties happy and healthy.

Our cats love Gigi. She is a superior communicator. She shares pictures of the cats with us while we are away, which my wife loves. Gigi takes great care of our home as well, which is a nice bonus and unlike other sitters we have used. She's a gem.

Luci did a great job taking care of all my pets while I was away for 8 days. They were happy and stress free and was pleased they had such great company especially over the 4th of July holiday where my one dog can get pretty stressed. Luci did leave the kitchen a bit messy with some unwashed cooking utensils and appliances (baking sheet/air fryer) and found there was a missing plant that may have fallen down but is no longer in my home and was not communicated. I do leave detailed daily checklists in order to cover all the responsibilities that typically ensure smooth and easy care for 4 animals and an old house. However, there was also quite a bit of waste in the yard that should have been picked up daily and my mail had not been brought in. I very much appreciate Luci stepping in last minute to cover my household while I was away and I would have her back with more instructions and on shorter trips with additional clarity on expectations. She made sure my plants were watered and was communicative when having a friend over which I did not mind. She sent frequent updates and pictures of my pets and was overall tidy around the rest of the house and washed her sheets and towels. Overall I feel Luci was very respectful and helpful just not quite the 5 star experience I’ve had with other sitters.

This is the second time Michelle has stayed with Ruthie and Rosie. She is quick to respond to all communication and you can count on her to arrive on time as promised. Michelle reached out with any questions she had and left the house in perfect order. Do not hesitate to sign her up as your housesitter!

Abbie was phenomenal! This was certainly the most difficult and eventful sit we've ever handed off to anyone and we were lucky to have her for it. She was so communicative, adaptable, reliable, and handled all the unexpected events with understanding and good humor. Our dog Tuna is people-shy, dog-reactive and had a health scare prior to the sit, so Abbie had some extra responsibilities from the start. In addition to the daily medical updates we requested, she also sent extra photos and little snippets of their daily happenings. We could see how comfortable Tuna was getting with her! When Tuna refused to go down our usual off-leash trails for unknown personal canid reasons, Abbie pivoted and explored until she was able to find an alternate route for long walks. Leash walking around a neighborhood is never as fun as off-leash trails, but Abbie was committed to getting Tuna's daily exercise in and safely led her through the local traffic (tricky when your nosy dog likes watch oncoming cars from the middle of the road). When a large loose dog charged at them, Abbie kept Tuna calm and kept both dogs safely separated until the owner was able to wrangle their dog back inside. We came back to a clean house, happy plants, and of course, a happy Tuna. We'd recommend Abbie anywhere!

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!

We were very happy with Hannah as our dog sitter! She took the time to come and meet us beforehand, ensuring she was familiar with our dogs’ routines and needs. She was also very flexible and accommodating to our travel schedule. Our dogs were happy and well taken care of and our house was in perfect shape when we returned. We highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a responsible and caring dog sitter.

Sarah was wonderful!! She was on time and very organized. She was a great communicator and she took a lot of pictures to share with us. The house was just as clean as we left it and there were no issues at all. I would highly recommend Sarah to look after your pets!
