Pristine rivers and springs. Horse country. Kayak country.
Introduction
I am retired and love to travel...and I love my pets!! However, they do limit my freedom to travel, so when I found Trusted Housesitters (and pets), I was ecstatic! I'm looking forward to meeting some sitters and finding the perfect match. My dogs are all very friendly and well-behaved. They will also provide a lot of entertainment for you.

Show more...Responsibilities
My dogs are all low maintenance. They just require feeding twice a day, a little scratching and letting out in the fenced backyard as needed. They entertain themselves (and you) and sleep a lot! My neighborhood is very safe and quiet, so taking them for walks is easy and pleasant (but not required). The dogs are good to be left alone 7-8 hours so you can enjoy all that Ocala and surrounding areas offer.

We really enjoyed sitting for Maria. Her three boys were such good dogs, fun to be around and very easy to care for. We were very comfortable in Maria's home. She was well prepared, easy to communicate with, and is just a delightful person. We enjoyed exploring the Ocala area, too. I'd highly recommend sitting for Maria and her boys. Once you meet Rolly, Charlie, and little Boo you'll be hooked!

Sitting for the 3 boys was such a treat for me. 3 different personalities and so entertaining. Maria is a great host. She made sure we were comfortable and had what we needed. I already miss the little cuddle buddies. :-)
