Crystal is a really lovely person with a warm personality and kind, honest heart. We very much enjoyed getting to know her. We were pleased that our two Burmese cats seemed happy in her care. The house was very tidy on our return and we were grateful for some delicious quiche left in the fridge when we got home late at night. She also laundered the bedsheets and gave us a beautiful plant/card which was very kind. We hesitate to share that there were a few challenges, given how lovely Crystal is, but feel that zeewoi only works if there is a degree of transparency so that people can decide whether a sitter is right for their circumstances. Our two house cats are pretty straightforward and basically just need some companionship and food three times a day. We had clearly said in the welcome guide and during the demo food preparation before we left that one of the cats needed medicine in her morning feed. We showed Crystal where this was stored in the fridge. She took a photo of the jar and amount of powder needed. However, Crystal forgot to add this medication to the cat's food until half way through our holiday which did cause us some worry. A picture in a glass frame was knocked off the wall whilst we were away (no big issue as these things can happen) but, instead of vacuuming up afterwards, Crystal left a towel to cover the remaining tiny shards of glass which couldn’t be picked up by hand. This wasn’t ideal as these could have easily ended up in the cats’ paws (...one of their favourite past times is exploring under covers, sheets, etc). Crystal did offer to reimburse us for the re-framing of the picture which we didn’t expect or take up but her offer was appreciated. However, to our surprise, the morning after we arrived home, we found the picture (which is quite precious to us) had been put outside on the patio. Thank goodness there had been no rain. We really wish Crystal the best for the future. We are pleased to have crossed paths with her and, most of all, will remember her warmth and kindness. We want to note that Crystal's other reviews seem to reflect smooth experiences so perhaps these hiccups were just a one off occurrence.

Liz and Lon were both lovely. The house was super clean when we arrived home and Mo seemed content as can be.  They provided updates on Mo while we were away.  It was a pleasure having them stay in our home.
