Pet Sitters in Wiser, 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.

Eileen

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!

Katie & Scott

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!

Greg

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!

Jessica

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 😊

Bermet

Bermet was reliable, clean, communicative, and easy going. Would definitely have her sit again!

Grace

It was clear from the first moment I met Grace off the train that she was going to be a great housesitter. She and the dogs just loved each other and she gave them wonderful long and stimulating walks plus lots of attention and cuddles when back at home relaxing. Her approach is very professional as pet/housesitting is what she does. I especially liked the way she double checked important things to know (that she had already read in the Welcome Guide) just to be certain that she would get it right. As I do with all my sitters, we spent some time together before and after the sit and that was lovely..she is a woman who is thoughtful, very genuine and full of integrity as well as being great fun to be with. She is a person who truly cares about animals, humans and the world. I recommend her most highly and hope we may meet again

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!

maggie

Maggie watched our 2 year old golden retriever while we were out of the country for 9 days. She was very self reliant and took great care of Max and our home. She communicated well with us leading up to the trip, was responsive during the trip and left our house clean and with fresh linens. Thanks Maggie!

Christine & Bret

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.

Courtney

Courtney was fantastic. This was my first time using a dog sitter and I was anxious. Buster is 16 years old and requires meds and tons of company to alleviate anxiety. Courtney was great with Buster, took great care with his meds/walks, etc. She is a joy to deal with, extremely communicative and my house was in better order when I got home from my trip than when I left it! I was lucky to get her -- and you will be, too. Fingers crossed she is available the next time I need someone!

Sarah

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!

Kyle

Karma and Blaze were so fun, loving and easy going! We played soccer/frisbee in the backyard & walked to the park right down the street in the morning and evening. They are very well behaved, leash trained and do not dart after other wildlife. We saw a field full of rabbits and they didn’t even bat an eye. Would definitely sit with them again…they were great company:)

Anna

Staying with Bonnie in her home for a little over 2 weeks was absolutely wonderful! 

Bonnie is the sweetest little lady who loves a good snuggle, many chin scritches, and a long walk in one of the many nearby parks. She's an empathetic doggy who adores her humans and is clearly living her best life. It was such a pleasure to observe her innate joy and tenderness. 

Anna's home is gorgeous and located in a wonderful, walkable part of Brighton. You can get anywhere you want to go by foot or public transit. There are many nearby grocery stores, restaurants, and shops. 

The house is beautifully and thoughtfully decorated. The guest bedroom and bathroom is super cozy and comfortable (comfy bed and pillows too!). 

And Anna and her family were very welcoming when I arrived. They prepared a lovely dinner before they left for their trip, and we had delightful conversions. All around, very kind and accommodating. I would absolutely stay again!!

Thank you for trusting me with your home and little Bon Bon, Anna. She's a dream! 🤗

Stephanie

Stylish house in the heart of Kentish Town, which is a fabulous area. Stephanie was so welcoming and she even let me stay a few nights prior to the official housesit starting (a lifesaver!) Misha is a very easy, cuddly chihuahua. Highly recommend!
