Lynne is an excellent house and pet sitter! She has sat for us on numerous occasions and our home and pets have been well cared for. She is honest, dependable and absolutely trustworthy. She is completely self-sufficient and an experienced world traveler. She has dealt with emergencies abroad and kept her cool and focus on resolving problems when they have arisen. She is kind, caring, well read, intelligent and resourceful. She loves an adventure and enjoying the landscapes and cultures of new places. She would be a joy and asset to care for your home and pets!
