Margaret and her boyfriend stayed at my house while I was out of the country for 3 weeks. It seemed like a good fit but was booked very last minute because the sitters originally scheduled had a medical emergency and had to cancel. My welcome document in zeewoi is very detailed and I have had only phenomenal experiences with past sitters. I let them know my Golden is a food hound and will eat any food left out (we have tried training... he's very sweet but is a counter surfer). I received a text in the middle of the night that he ate an entire pizza they left on the counter and were not sure what to do, so they took him to the ER and incurred a $700 bill (which I paid). I am a veterinarian. He did not need to go to an ER. But moving on about a week or so later - very few updates in 2 weeks until I received another middle of the night text that she would need to leave to meet her boyfriend (who had already left) in FL because his Grandfather was ill. She said she arranged for my mother (whose phone number she had) to take over caring for the dogs. I asked her to let me know when she would be leaving so I could make arrangements for a petsitter because my Mom was not the best choice. Then I came to find out from my Mom that she called her AFTER leaving my pets at home on her way to the airport in an Uber!!!! She literally abandoned my pets and home, called my Mom after leaving hoping she would take over AND THEN texted me in the middle of the night in a foreign country!!!! She failed to respond to any of the messages sent by Zeewoi to explain herself. As if that wasn't bad enough, when my Mom did arrive to walk my dogs my house was a total mess! Dirty linens, the floor hadn't been vacuumed at all and dog hair was everywhere, there were dirty dishes in the sink and dishwasher... I left her a SPOTLESS home and she left my house dirty, my dogs uncared for and cost me a $700 vet bill and another housekeeping visit. I sincerely hope she will never be allowed to accept another sit with this organization or any other.

Gretel was a wonderful cat sitter for our long weekend away. She was very flexible and accommodated our change in plans. She communicated clearly before arrival and arrived on time. She sent us regular updates and photos of our cats, and was totally independent the whole time. Our cats seemed very happy and at peace when we came back, so we know she did a great job! On top of that, she left the place even cleaner than it was on her own initiative. It was a nice surprise to come back to a clean home. 
Thank you Gretel! All recommendations!! Chris & Nicole :)

We couldn't have asked for a better couple for our first experience! Claudia and Jose were easy to communicate with right from the start, they really cared for Onyx as if he was their own and they sent us lots of photos of their adventures together! We got 18 inches of snow while they were here and they even cleared our walks, driveway and patio so Onyx could go out and do his thing! The house was very clean when we returned, including fresh sheets on the bed! We can't wait for them to come back and sit for Onyx again!
