Our home

I live in a two bedroom/two bathroom home in a 55+ community. It is a very clean, quiet & well maintained community with 2 pools, hot tub, Pickleball courts, shuffleboard courts, library, gym, & large clubhouse with lots of activities daily. You can look up LaCosta Village online for more info. Only a few miles to the beach, the speedway, shopping, dining & so much more!

Our pets

CatsCats (2)
I have two lovable cats (brothers, one year old). They are pretty self sufficient except for cuddles with humans. They have self food & self water stations that just need monitored & a pine pellet box that will need a scooped once a day. Other than that, they just love to be loved on when they feel like it (what can I say, they’re cats). Very low maintenance so you’ll have lots of time to enjoy the amenities here or all the amazing things to do nearby!

Review

Loved this sit! Alicia is a clear, quick communicator, exceptionally thoughtful and considerate, & so warm & welcoming when we met (in 15 yrs of sitting, I'd say she is top tier IMO!) Kai & Ranger are calm, affectionate, friendly & fun - just great cats and easy to care for. Loved them! Alicia was upfront right away that she is doing some renovations in the kitchen that weren't finished. I really appreciate this; not all owners are so forthcoming. During the sit, it didn't bother me at ... MoreLoved this sit!

Alicia was upfront right away that she is doing some renovations in the kitchen that weren't finished. I really appreciate this; not all owners are so forthcoming. During the sit, it didn't bother me at all. All was functional & safe. For me, Alicia's transparency & thoughtfulness about everything and these awesome cats far outweigh being there with unfinished areas in the house. Everything was comfortable, & the house screen porch & pool nearby were nice bonuses! I'd definitely sit here again!
