Wendee has been a godsend to us and has house/pet sit for us several times so far. We have cats that are 'stranger danger' types and by the end of her first week-long stay she knew all their names and personalities. They are very comfortable being around her and we could tell they were well cared for! In addition to taking care of the kitties, she also took care of our indoor and outdoor plants during the past very hot summer. All the plants looked healthier than they had been in awhile after Wendee's great care. She also took our various 'woodland creature' visits in stride and told me how much she enjoyed the wild turkey visits and birdsong in the mornings. I am generally reluctant to have someone in my home, but feel completely comfortable with Wendee - she is uber-responsible and sensible, and i know that if there was ever an emergency she would handle it well and consult with us as appropriate. She is tidy and respectful of our space and our home, and i look forward to her taking care of our pets and home in the future!
