Joseph took care of our cat and house-sat for us for 2 weeks. In advance of our trip, we were able to do both a virtual and in-person meet and greet to ensure everyone felt comfortable and do a walk through of the house, which we really appreciated.While we were away, Joseph responded quickly to texts/any questions we sent and provided photo and text updates every 1-2 days. Upon our return, our cat seemed happy. Unfortunately, the day of our return, Joseph accidentally locked himself out of our house. He communicated with us and we were able to provide him access to a backup key. However, when we returned home about an hour and a quarter later, we were surprised to find that he was still there (he was supposed to have left much earlier in the day before we arrived home, and we knew he was running a little behind because of the lockout, but he didn’t tell us he would still be there when we walked in). He texted us that the house was clean and ready for us, but unfortunately the house was not clean and the cat litter boxes were quite smelly and appeared not to have been changed or scooped in many days. While we realize that getting locked out of the house created some delays in getting packed and tidying the house, we were upset to find the kitty litter in that state and for the clear disorganization, at least in the final day. We provided this feedback directly to Joseph and hope that this was a one-time experience. However, we would urge clear communication around any expectations for cleaning, communication, and care.

Adam
Ally was great with our pets and was helpful when our dog’s injured paws started bleeding again. She left the house clean, was easy to deal with and communicated well. She also left us a thoughtful plant and was overall a great guest. This was our first venture with zeewoi and while overall great, we learned about things to have in place for next time!

Todd
It was such a pleasure sitting for Todd and Julie! They were so kind and communicative and have such a lovely home! BB was very curious and affectionate and Biscuit although shy took to sitting in the doorway to watch and observe after a few days. I had such a great experience and would highly recommend!

Matteo & Erin
Thank you Matteo and Erin. It was a real joy sitting with Fiona. She is such a sweet, funny, intelligent, well-behaved girl. We had such a good time together…and thank you for your kindness and thoughtfulness for creating such a beautiful, comfortable environment. Anytime you need an out-of-town break, I’m here for you.

I had a wonderful time at Patrick and Mei’s house looking after Bolingo! 

Bolingo is such a delight to care for and was very patient with me while I got the hang of his eye drops. He is great company, easy to care for and very affectionate!

Mei and Patrick were very warm in welcoming me into their home with a very thorough introduction to their home and Bolingo. Their home is located in one of the best spots in Amsterdam with many restaurants, shops and cafes on their doorstep.  I would gladly do this sit again!

Boudreaux is a very calm and well behaved dog, although he still has plenty of energy for long walks around this beautiful property. It was an absolute pleasure staying here and we hope we can do so again someday. I'll bring my fishing pole next time!

Jane
This was our first THS experience and has really set the bar high for the rest of our sitting adventures! 

Jane and Peter were welcoming and made us feel right at home. Jane so kindly prepared a lovely meal which we all shared together on our first night. They explained the ropes of the dog’s daily routine and walks around the area. Peter had prepared an information box with the works of the house’s Aga, Helensburgh guides and a print out of the very detailed house guidebook from THS online - which was very helpful to reference during the sit. 

Looking after Mayar and Choire was an absolute pleasure! They are such sweet and calm natured Labradors. Mayar - the older gal, was very sweet and loved her evening pats. Choire - the younger, energetic lab was entertaining and fun loving. Both dogs are very well behaved on and off lead, have good recall and never stray too far away when wandering around the woods or reservoir. 

Helensburgh is a beautiful coastal town with a lively town centre. Peter and Jane were kind enough to give us access to their bikes and we got to explore a route Peter had recommended - beautiful on a clear day! 

Thank you Jane and Peter for such a lovely experience. We will miss Mayar and Choire and recommend this family for anyone looking at applying for a house sit! 

Thank you again :)

Yoreme
We had such a wonderful time at Yoreme's home. I am so thankful to have found this sit. Without it, I would have never discovered the beautiful city and people of Karlsruhe. I can't wait to go back! Yoreme and her family were very welcoming and helpful. I'm confident that we will remain friends as we move on with our travels. Their house was very comfortable and immediately felt like home. The cats were independent, but enjoyed the occasional cuddle on the couch. I suggest this sit to anyone who enjoys a beautiful garden, delicious food, and good conversation.
