House Sitter in Sarasota, Florida

I'm an
Agency / Company
Description: Hello from the Hamners. We offer quality house sitting service. Let us provide peace of mind for your needs while away from home. We will tend with care all that you love- pets and plants. We bring calm attentiveness, experience, and skill as your House Sitting Service Provider. Flexible scheduling for clients. Services And Training: We care for your property, collect mail and packages, feed outdoor birds, keep yards monitored, indoor plants tended, gardens cared for, and the home secure. On top of this, I am an organizer- able to organize drawers, closets, pantry, etc. and my husband is handy with a project that has been put off for someday. We have experience caring for many pets.I have had cats my whole life and my husband, dogs. Together as a family we have had dogs, cats, chickens, and even a rabbit. Animals love us and trust us, and we enjoy them. As we have traveled, we have had opportunity to milk goats, handle turkeys, and horses. For one family, we even cared for their elderly mothers while the family went on a camping trip for a week. We value being trusted with these situations and endeavor to be worthy of the opportunity by loving as though the loved ones are ours. We have extensive experience of taking care of people, pets and plants. We have kept B&Bs, harvested gardens, rescued runaway animals, and kept homes safe. We sold our home in Va thinking we were downsizing and returning to my husband's hometown, but we stopped short to celebrate our 30th anniversary by taking a trip and just haven't settled down since! Our mothers have both passed away giving us an window of opportunity to explore new horizons. We found a way to see new places, meet new friends, all while getting to love on other people's pets and guests..... have served others with their ecolodge in Costa Rica, gites in France, and B&Bs in Hawaii. We helped friends with their AirBnBs and have enjoyed getting to travel, but not be a tourist. We have chased the endless summer but are not snowbirds yet. We are traveling with our daughter and worldschooling her in this adventure. Before our traveling season of tending other peoples needs and homes, my husband was in the Air Force and his last job before retiring was Search and Rescue. I worked as a dental assistant. We know how to be clean, organized, and careful. As a family we like to enjoy the sunset, play a game together, read and watch movies. We often cook and clean as we go, for we value sitting down at a table for a meal. We don't eat while sitting on your sofa. We take our shoes off at the door, we empty the lint trap in the dryer, we shut the doors all the way and carefully, and we stay in touch with the owners. We give you a peace of mind that your requests will be honored. We also notify you if there is anything that needs to be addressed, like a gopher eating your plants and we need to trap it, or the air con is not working, or the animal's eye seems to need attention and we want to take him to the vet. We delight in doing a job well done, and we are able to do this travel lifestyle by being conscientious house sitters. Look forward to sharing more with you.

The Hamner’s cared for our home and pets for two months while we were traveling in Europe. They did a wonderful job taking care of everything and our animals were loved the entire Summer. They were kind enough to walk the dogs each day, even though the temperatures soared. And they kept all three animals healthy and happy the entire time. When we came home, everything was clean and in order. Sunny had even filled some of my flower pots with seeds that are now blooming. A lovely surprise. In addition to the beds being clean, it was truly a relaxing homecoming. Communication between The Hamners and my family was great. We had a departure issue at the beginning of the sit and they were able to accommodate us, which was greatly appreciated. We would email back and forth every week or so and I was very comfortable with that schedule and they kept us informed about how the house and pets were doing. I’m sure if you wanted more or less communication, they would find the perfect balance for you. Overall, The Hamner’s were excellent housesitters. I would recommend them to anyone. Thank you Sunny, Ken and Ellorie.

Ken and Sunny Hamner are amazingly conscientious, kind-hearted and capable as house/cat sitters. It was such a delight and we had peace of mind knowing that they were looking after our property and Dave-the-Cat. They both possess inimitable integrity and I would not hesitate to request them to look after our “family” should the opportunity arise again. The Hamners are delightful beyond words!
