I have not been looking forward to writing this review for Irene and Henry. Because I was not looking forward to be reminded of the turmoil we went through while they were sitting house for us. Irene and Henry had signed up to stay in our home and with our dogs for 9,5 weeks. They knew it was winter in Germany, one of the first things we asked them, if they knew how dark and gray it is and that it can be cold. They had no problem with that. 2 weeks into the sit they said they could not walk our dogs twice a day any more, only once - since they were too tired. They asked for help with the second walk, which we then organized from abroad. Also after two weeks they said, they would have to cut the sit short and would be leaving our home 4,5 weeks early. We should start looking for a replacement. This came as such a shock to us, that at first we refused a replacement. With time and the loving support of the zeewoi staff we started looking for a replacement. Of course there was no one there on such short notice. The hours we spent dealing with finding someone new - this is nothing anyone should have to go through. In the end a friend took our dogs when Irene and Henry left our house and their sit early. Irene and Henry sent us pictures and comments about our dogs regularly. Our house was as clean as when we left it. The plants were well. We were contemplating leaving the zeewoi Community after this painful experience. Our trust was shaken. But, we decided to stay and remember the first two perfect experiences we had with our other sitters, whom we still are in touch with and feel loving and close with.

Mark and Cassie were the dream housesitters! They kept me updated on the antics of my cat, looked after all my indoor and outdoor plants brilliantly and left the house looking like a show-home. They were even amenable to helping a friend of mine who suddenly needed something from my car! I 100% recommend!

Lindsey was great!  Communication was easy and positive prior to the visit all the way through to my happy return.  She asked all the right questions (including “How much communication and information would you like while you’re gone?”) and clearly paid careful attention to the answers, following my requests/instructions to a tee.    The house looked great, but most importantly my cats obviously felt safe and well cared for.  She even won the affections of Picco, my most cynical/sceptical baby.   Simply put, it was a pleasure getting to know Lindsey and I look hopefully forward to having her sit for us again!

Tom did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats (one is diabetic), our chickens, fish, and the house.   He came the morning before we left to meet with us and go over everything.  It was such a pleasure to meet him and to spend time with him once we finally arrived back home.  While we were away, the rooster managed to get a string around his leg.  Tom contacted us to ask what to do, and we suggested he wait until dark and the rooster was in his coop.  He would be docile then, making it much easier to get the string off.   The next day, he wrote that he was successful.    Tom's sister Kirsten (also on zeewoi) shared the sit for our 6 1/2 week trip.  We hope they can come again next year.   Everything worked out well and the house was all in order and cleaner than when we left.  Highly recommend.

I am sorry this seems to be so late I actually thought I had already done this review. This sit and the people are fantastic .The animals were wonderful and the setting and home are unbelievable. We would sit here again in a heartbeat.  Claire and her husband were fantastic to get to know and they did everything in their power to make things work and be sure we were comfortable caring for their home and animals. It was a very good experience. Thank you
