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.

Keri & Derek were a joy to meet and chat with when they made the time to come down and see our home and get introduced to the critters a few weeks before our trip. Keri informed me, the morning we left on our trip, of what their ETA was and then when they had arrived. She did a great job with all of her communication and sent fun photos of happy and content animals. My husband forgot to make up more hummingbird food and Derek was on it by looking up the instructions on line and taking care of it on his own. Our home looked beautiful and clean upon arrival and the animals were probably disappointed to see us because they had such a great time with Keri and Derek. I honestly can't say enough positive words! I hope they come stay at our place again in the future and you can't get a better reference then that, can you??

Katy was an absolute joy to work with - she is highly communicative, respectful, friendly, and reliable!  She went above and beyond in everything she did - took the dogs out for a hike & several extra walks while she was here.  She sent pictures & updates everyday which was greatly appreciated given we ended up having some medical emergencies with kiddos while we were away.  It was such a relief to know the dogs were in good hands & the house was being well taken care of while we were away.  
Katy is hands down a truly phenomenal house & pet-sitter & we would be thrilled to have her back anytime!  We can't recommend her enough - she is absolutely incredible in every way!  
We are so appreciative for all she did & for her willingness to watch and love our dogs while we were away! 
Eleven out of ten stars!!

We don't have a single negative thing to say. Nia cared for our 5 rats so perfectly, we have never seen them so loving to another person before that isn't us. 

If you are considering Nia as a housesitter, you won't regret it. We would love to have her back in the future.

Sam and Tom have a really nice home. Their house is in an idealic little community with a garden and neighborhood feel to it. They are very close to central Cambridge and Licky was a sweet gentle cat who likes to come sit next to you and sometimes on your lap too. Thank you a lovely stay!

James and Eion were a delight and so welcoming into their home. I meet Jasper off site and he flopped down for pets straight away. 

Jasper is a wonderful wee pup and loves nothing more than chasing a ball. He was happy on the train and easy to take everywhere with me. Everybody at the local dog park knows Jasper and loves him as well. He has ridiculously cute quirks and is a really happy puppy. 

Could not recommend James and Eion enough and would love to sit for them again.
