Pet Sitters in Plainfield, IN

Adrienne

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.

Megan

Megan was dependable, communicative, friendly, and over all a pleasure to interact with. We had great communication and I felt very comfortable entrusting our animals to her. She was very responsive during the sit and offered to go the extra mile for us when we thought we might be away an extra night. I would say your house and home are in good hands with Megan

Ashley & Lorenzo

We're new to zeewoi and Ashley was thoughtful and patient with us as we figured out how to make the stay a comfortable one. We have a variety of animals (dogs, goats, llamas) and she was able to take care of all of them with no problem. The house was also immaculate when we returned, very grateful to have Ashley keep tabs on things here.

Laura

Laura and Michael and their two sons, Samuel and Sebastian, watched our place while we visited our daughter in Portland OR. They arrived the day before we left to get aquatinted with the house and the animals. Our location was convenient for the family because Michael was participating in a seniors track meet at UVA. While we were gone there was an animal emergency which required a trip to the vet for Abby, one of our dogs. Laura kept us informed regularly on the status of Abby which was comforting. We have one challenging young dog (Rosita) who has enough energy for five dogs. Laura and the boys handled her with grace and firm, consistent love. I think, based on pics sent to me, that Samuel and Sebastian bonded well with her. All of our other animals (cats, fish, chickens) were also well looked after. The house was clean and tidy when we returned home and a bottle of wine awaited us on the kitchen table. Laura and Michael have a lovely family. We enjoyed their company and our home will always be open for them. I neglected to ask Michael about his success at the track meet. It was quite a hot week.

C J

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

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!

Steve

Steve and Laurie were absolutely wonderful. I recommend them highly! During the week they stayed at my house, my four pets were extremely well taken care of. When I got home, I found happy, relaxed pets and a clean, tidy house. Steve and Laurie were kind, friendly, on time, communicative, neat, and basically everything one would like in a housesitter. As for the petsitting part, my dogs pretty much adored them, and so did the cats. While I was gone, I got a photo of the pets each day, which is something I love. When I got home, the beds had been changed and the laundry had been done. Clean sheets and towels...it was like I was still on vacation. Thanks, Steve and Laurie, for taking such good care of my pets and home!

Cynthia

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!

Christina

Christina did a great job of taking care of Rosie and Louie! She had excellent communication and I came home to a clean apartment and happy cats. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone!

Mattey

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!

Dan

Words cannot describe how amazing Dan and Paula were with our 2 dogs and with our house as well!! They were extra careful in everything they did, from minding the dogs with love and patience to leaving the house absolutely spotless!! I wish they were living closer so we could have them for all the next sits here in Ireland!!

Tanya

Tanya did a great job watching my 2 dogs and my home.

James

Had a great time petsitting Bluey. He’s a stunning cat with such a playful but gentle character. He was great company. James was very friendly and communicative making the sit easy from day one. The place is lovely and comfy and in handy proximity to Brighton. Would definitely recommend this sit.

lauren

We couldn't ask for a better house sitting experience. Lauren has a beautiful home and Sookie was very easy to look after. They have become good friends in the process. 10/10 !!!

Carrie

We had a fabulous time taking care of Pugsley and Chuggie at Carrie's place in Lihue.  They are two of the most loving dog's we've had the pleasure to be with and take care of.  Carrie had meticulous instructions printed out for us and was easy to communicate with while she was away as well.  Carrie was so very gracious with some of the transportation support logistics she provided making everything seamless from day 1 to the very end.  Everything was as close to perfect as could be and we will truly miss the loving company of Pugsley and Chuggie but hope to see them again down the road.  
Thank you again Carrie, we are so happy to have gained a new friend on our favorite isle.

Anthony

I enjoyed my time with Poco. I called him my Poco Loco because he got the most adorable zoomies around the house whenever I came back home. He’s so lovable and smart. He made me laugh a lot. Tony and Jim were fantastic hosts and kept in touch. Their instructions were clear and they welcomed me into their home. Thank you for a most enjoyable stay.
