I think the guys before me have said it all. But, no one addressed cat sitters!
After my first trip away from The Villages, when I hired "professional" sitters, I was taken severely to task by at least three neighbors, who basically said, "We'd have done all that for you for free!"
Guess, what, they're still doing so after seven years! And, I travel frequently.
Sure, The Cat doesn't approve, but I know that she's well taken care of.
And, my neighbors also bring in my newspapers, get my mail and water my few house plants!
You couldn't ask for a better place!
