WOULD NOT RECOMMEND; Unfortunately, our experience of Natasha and her partner is sadly not that others appear to have had. We needed a sitter for two nights to care for our two dogs, two elderly cats and house while we had a couple of nights away for our youngest son’s wedding. Our usual house sitters weren’t available, and we had arranged for another sitter from zeewoi but just a few weeks from the wedding she had to pull out due to ill health. I republished the dates and Natasha applied. We arranged a video call as I always want to do this prior to agreeing for a sitter so I can meet them beforehand especially if they are not local and able to visit prior to the sit. It was only going to be Natasha and her son Colby and not her partner that were going to do the sit so the video call was only with her. Natasha and Colby arrived, and I ran through all the instructions for the house and pets and in particular that as we have several acres of land that the dogs were to be inside after dark. I left happy in the knowledge that Natasha and Colby were looking forward to a quiet evening watching a movie. Having enjoyed a family dinner and heading off to bed to get some sleep before the big day I notice several notifications on my phone from my external home security cameras. This was at 10.30pm and after dark and I notice that my little dog was out the front of the property and had been there since 10pm and no one was letting him even though he was barking. I then checked the other camera notifications, and I was shocked to not only see a man at my property, but he was exiting a rear patio door that was wide open with loud music coming from the room he had just left, and he was undressed. This room is my husband’s special room that holds a lot of his memorabilia from his early life which is important to us as a family as he now has dementia. I felt physically sick imagining what was going on in my property and especially this room. I contacted Natasha to ask what was going on and why were the dogs out when I had given specific instructions for them to be inside and who was the man at my property that I had not given permission to be there. She confirmed it was her partner and that he had inadvertently let the dogs out!!! I was furious but it was too late to do anything then, but I didn’t sleep all night worrying about my home and pets. In the morning, I managed to contact some friends who kindly rearranged their plans and took over. Natasha was asked to vacate the property as I needed to be happy that my home and pets were in good hands to be able to enjoy my son’s special day. This couple broke all the rules for being a Zeewoi, they were dishonest, and were disrespectful and I feel like they violated our property, they did not care for our pets as they had been asked and have tarnished the memory of our son’s wedding day. I would not recommend or trust them as sitters.

Carolyn
How do you write feedback for a sit where the cats have become ‘your’ beloved pets and the owners have become friends?  I’ll try to keep it simple.
Tim and Carolyn are the ideal owners - friendly, generous, and considerate almost to a fault.  Their home is a lovely rural retreat close to all amenities, including numerous farm stands and the best bakery on Vancouver Island (True Grain in Cowichan Bay).
The kitties, Butters and Marley, are delightful.  Very different in temperament, they both stole our hearts.  They are dead easy to care for, and I enjoyed every minute of their company.
We thoroughly enjoyed our sits (there were several over many months) and would highly recommend sitting for Carolyn and Tim.

Antoine & Mica
I would highly recommend sitting for Bark8, Antoine and Mica. Their home is in a safe, well connected area of East London with lots of fun areas to explore nearby (including a lido!).  Bark8 is adorable, cuddly and a delight to look after. Antoine and Mica were kind and hospitable. Overall a 5 star sit!

Todd
Elsie was such a sweet kitty and we enjoyed very much cuddling with her.
Her brother John Doe ( we called him that because he doesn’t have a name yet ) was a bit shy, but very sweet and we enjoyed the time we spent with him.
Todd left us clear instructions for the smooth operation of the house.
We really liked meeting the daughters of the house, who explained the details about feeding the felines.
There are many wonderful hiking trails nearby.

Great stay to Lilia's home! Ricou was so cute and the area is calm, quiet and green. I felt very well in the Lilia's house and I could rest. Ricou is both affectionate and independent, I followed his desires. Thank you for this stay

Katie
Chef is absolutely one of the sweetest pups ever. He gives amazing cuddles and is so quiet and calm. Katie and Kevin had great communication and were easy to coordinate with. Their apartment is cozy and within easy distance of lots of transit and good food options. Oliver is slow to warm up but keeps a good distance and loves treats. I'd recommend this sit!
