Pet Sitters in Rocklane, 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.

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

So happy to have Katie and Scott as our pet sitters! Leading up to the sit through getting home they were extremely communicative and left me reassured my dog was in good hands! I got several pictures throughout the stay and came home to a spotless home. Would definitely recommend having Katie and Scott for your pet sitting needs!

Absolutely wonderful having Loran & Tom return to sit for us, the 2 older dogs remembered them and it was like they'd never been away. Loran & Tom are kind, helpful, very self sufficient and can't do enough for the dogs. There was lots of communication and photos whilst we were away and although we were not worried at all it's always lovely to see how the dogs are getting on. I can't recommend Loran & Tom enough and hope that they will return to sit again

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.

Great sitters, would be happy to have them again!

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.

Thanks so much for the loves and cuddles and text pictures/updates about their antics. So glad you enjoyed them and the farm! Take care!

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 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!

Thamy was an amazing sitter! Our cat loved her so much, and so did we. She went above and beyond both for our cat and house while we were away. Can't recommend her enough!

Chris and Bret arrived a day before our early morning departure. This gave time for a visit, meet Benji and familiarize with the house. It was a delightful visit and we were very pleased Chris and Bret choose to housesit for us. They are pleasant, intelligent and conscientious—we knew Benji and our home would be in good hands while away. There were daily communications, and the house was not only left in perfect condition, they went beyond what was expected. Actually, they rate above the five-star review. It would be our good fortune if they return someday.
