We had a dilemma …. We wanted to go to a family reunion over 200 miles away that required an overnight stay and taking our pets wasn’t an option. We have a 14-year-old cocker spaniel who is deaf and only has one eye with limited vision, and we really wanted her to stay in familiar surroundings, along with the (almost) three-year-old golden retriever and the two cats. We couldn’t find friends available to cover us, so we turned to zeewoi. We looked for someone local as it was just for one night, and we are so glad we did! We read the bio for Beth and Syd and immediately felt a connection. We sent a message and to our delight Beth responded and indicated they could be available for the Saturday night and Sunday day. We arranged to meet and despite their busy work schedules, they found the time to come over and meet the gang, and upon meeting them our initial positive feelings were confirmed. They are such a lovely, interesting young couple, mature in outlook, fun and entertaining with a background in pets and animal welfare that gave us the confidence to know we had struck gold and were very lucky to have found them. They were totally unfazed with the medical needs of the spaniel and took great delight in the friendly nature of the retriever. The cats were given equal attention. They absorbed masses of information thrown at them regarding eating routines, feeding routines, looking after the property etc and after a short while we felt like we had known them for ages! They arrived on the Saturday morning at the time we had agreed. We left them with lists and pages of info and a feeling of complete trust and confidence and they did not disappoint us. Although it was only one night, upon our return the house and pets were exactly as we left them! They coped fantastically well with the aging spaniel who is very set in her ways, and the exuberant retriever who can require you to have eyes in the back of your head at times, and the two cats who do things on their terms only! In such a short time we have made two new friends and we now have them on speed dial should we ever need sitters in the future. And if we do, we would have no hesitation in calling Beth and Syd. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for animal and/or house sitters, wherever you may live!

Sarah
Iris is so loveable and well behaved. She was an absolute pleasure to take care of. Very sweet and such a cuddle bug.  Sarah was very welcoming and had such a lovely home. It was a wonderful week in Anacortes, such a beautiful place.

This was such a lovely experience!

Cassius and Brutus (black labs) were extremely chill and sweet. Rocky and Moose (chocolate retrievers) are in their excited puppy phase but were very affectionate. Everyone gets pumped for meals and walks and then down times in between are filled with naps and cuddling! I wasn't sure about the no-leash walks but the boys were extremely well-mannered and always stayed in sight.

The house and location are wonderful! It's a very restful space and isolated in a private but not scary way, I always felt comfortable there alone. It's a short trip into downtown Santa Fe and all the great attractions there.

Peter and Michael were friendly and very generous about opening up their home!

It was an absolute pleasure looking after sweet little Sophie and I would pet sit her again in a heartbeat. She was well behaved and gentle and was no trouble at all. 

A big thank you to Joy and Bob for being such wonderful hosts. They are very kind and gracious people who cared about my comfort and well-being. They have a beautiful home and I had a very enjoyable experience. Thank you Joy and Bob, it was lovely meeting you!

Pieter and I watched Odysseus and Buddy for just under a week. Heidi left wonderful, detailed instructions. We had a beautiful room to sleep in. The neighborhood is quiet and has lots of sidewalks making walking the dogs easy and having a fenced in back yard was great - made quick bathroom breaks easy. We took long walks through the trails with both dogs and that really helps tire Odysseus out. He was calmer once back at home. Giving him one of his chomp bones once in a while distracted him if he was biting at his paw. We felt very welcomed and that our care for the home and pups was appreciated by Heidi and Drew. Sweet dogs!

Luna and Luca are gorgeous cats. Shy at first, but once they get to know you they are very friendly and love to cuddle in front of the laptop. Other than wanting a bit of love they are really non-demanding. They have their automatic feeders that need filling up, a bit of cleaning and that's it really. And Luna's medication is really simple to prepare and she its it happily.
Other than that the house is beautiful, and as we are working from home it was very convenient that there are several places to locate your "home office" while working, and get inspired by all the books around. 
The house is also very well located, quite central and close to several bus/tran/u lines. All in all a very recommended sit and we would love to come back.
One word of caution though - the cats love to try and eat each other's food, so take extra care in the morning when you give Luna her medication. I thought it makes sense to sit next to them until she finishes her medication and then take the plate - make sure Luca doesn't get medicated instead :-0

And last note - if you come to stay in Vienna, check out some local recommendations for great coffee shop and restaurants in the area. You can find our favorites on my partner's blog: https://www.home-is-here.com/vienna

I stayed with Zoey and Ghost for a little over two weeks. They are well behaved pups and easy to care for. Natasha and Dwayne made me feel welcome and comfortable in their home. Communication was excellent👌. I really enjoyed working from their bright sun room overlooking Fish Creek Park and exploring the trails every day.
