Stephanie was one of our favorite zeewoi sitters. For this sit, we were having a tough time finding a good sitter but at the last minute, Stephanie submitted her application and right from the start, we were impressed with everything about her as a person and a sitter. Stephanie promptly replied to our call back from her application which showed her seriousness by having the alerts set up on her phone. Although her sitting resume was just starting, she inspired confidence and her interview went well. Within a matter of a few days, Stephanie got on a plane and headed to Maine where she started a great adventure on our farm. Stephanie managed the property, which is a large antique farm house, with ease. The property and her living quarters were maintained very well and left immaculately clean when she finished her stay. Her communications skills were always spot on and she kept us updated with pictures and texts while we were on the other side of the world. Our indoor animal menagerie includes 2 elder Pomeranians and a bunny all of which have special needs which she attended to very well. She frequently walked them and let the bunny out in the yard for fresh garden delights. The outdoor farm animals are the real test for a sitters’ challenge and Stephanie managed them like a pro. 5 goats and 6 alpacas are a handful for anyone and she seemed to delight in adding this challenge to her variety of experiences. When we returned, the pasture, paddock and shelters were all thoroughly secured and cleaned up better than ever. (Not expected but certainly appreciated) It was very hot while we were away and the extra efforts to keep the animals cool and watered was necessary and she handled it well. Stephanie is very well traveled and has many worldly experiences that we thoroughly enjoyed hearing about. I know Stephanie enjoyed her time visiting the area although her visit here was brief. As a zeewoi sitter, Stephanie was a great fit for our needs and we hope her experience with us has broadened her opportunity to try new sitting experiences. We of course would highly recommend Stephanie as a sitter for any pet and home situation. The animals all loved her special attention. Stephanie is well traveled and easy to trust and inspires confidence in her actions and conversation. We would love to have Stephanie back as a sitter and more importantly as a friend.

Abby looked after Lysander and Syracuse really well. I got regular photos and they seemed happy and settled with her. I think Lysander is even depressed now she has left! It was great to know my babies were in safe hands. I'd definitely have Abby back again.

David and Diane did a great job caring for our 3 dogs and cockatoo.  A parrot isn't easy to take of, especially when one is new around him. Both Diane and David were brave to take him on lol!  

We found our home well cared for and my plants watered. Diane even baked us a pie to enjoy!

We recommend both of them.

I really enjoyed the time I shared with Otto who is absolutely the cuddliest love bug... until it's time for a walk and you're getting a good workout! This was a great fit since I work from home and Otto and I were able to spend tons of time together but I also enjoy being outside and active!


Amy's home is very centrally located so you're a short drive away from pretty much everything. The proximity to bike lanes and trails also allowed me to run errands on a bike. 


There is a large park a couple of minutes down the street and Sloan's Lake's also relatively close. 


The home is located in a high traffic area and the proximity to the park unfortunately means that there's a decent amount of litter on the street (got to watch out for broken glass and random grossness that could end up in Otto's mouth 😅)


I had no problem working from home thanks to the wifi being extremely stable and fast. I was also able to cook most of my meals. I would tweak a couple of things to make Amy's place more comfortable if it were mine but that could just be a matter of personal preference.


I'd overall recommend this site, if only to get a chance to spend time with Otto who I am definitely gonna miss.
