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.

Crystal & Mallie are sweethearts and easy to care for, as they just need to be let out in the backyard.

The house is huge, spacious and luxurious -- complete with a jacuzzi. Ideally located too -- easy access to local spots as well as the highway to hop into the city.

Brad was great to work with and I enjoyed my time.

A five-star sit!

Derek and Valerie
First the Good Things
My partner, Diego, and I had the opportunity to be housesitters for Valerie and Dereck in Kemnay, Scotland, for 4 weeks. From the first moment, we felt welcomed as part of the family and enjoyed an incredible experience that has left a piece of Scotland in our hearts.
From the moment we arrived, Valerie and Dereck opened the doors of their home to us with a contagious warmth and kindness. We shared unforgettable moments, from dinners and laughter-filled chats to excursions around the area that allowed us to discover the beauty of Kemnay and its surroundings. Communication was fluid and constant, both before and during our stay, which made us always feel informed and supported.
Valerie and Dereck's house is more than just accommodation, it is a reflection of their personality and good taste. Every corner is decorated with love and attention to detail, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The garden is an oasis of peace, where we enjoyed taking care of the plants and flowers so that everything would be impeccable when they returned. The location of the house is perfect, close to everything we needed to explore the area and enjoy outdoor activities. The house is also very well equipped and we lacked nothing during our stay.
The stars of the house are undoubtedly Tula, wail’n, Ollie, Pearly and the two hens. From the first day, we felt a special connection with them, especially with Wailling and Tula. Every walk, game or adventure with them filled us with joy and gave us unforgettable memories, we will miss them so much Their care was natural and loving, and on every outing, Valerie and Dereck could see the happiness of their furry friends. Pearly, the girl of the house also played a part, watching shows with us night after night while we brushed her, and Ollie with his cuddles at mealtime.
Our experience with Valerie, Dereck and their pets was much more than just housesitting. We made a great friendship that we are sure will last over time, just like the granite of Kemnay. We hope that the memories we have left them will be a small reflection of our affection and that they will enjoy seeing them.
We cannot fail to mention Shirley, Valerie's friend, who invited us to a couple of antique markets on Sundays, where we found unique treasures and enjoyed her company. She is the owner of Flossie, Tula's daughter, an adorable little dog who won us over with her energy and affection.
If you have the opportunity to meet Valerie, Dereck, Tula, wail’n, Ollie, Pearly and the hens, don't hesitate to take it. The planet needs more people like them and the love and joy that their pets transmit.
Despite the 5312 miles that separate our homes, Valerie and Dereck made us feel as if there was not a single centimeter of distance. Their warmth and kindness made us part of their family and left a piece of Scotland in our hearts. We appreciate this time and we already miss everyone.

Cara
Cara and Mike were fantastic hosts, and we really enjoyed our time looking after Snags in their lovely Copenhagen apartment! Their place is centrally located and allowed us to explore the city easily. Snags was super friendly and we enjoyed our cuddles on the couch with him! He’s a really affectionate cat, and was easy to look after! We really recommend applying for this sit. Thanks for having us!!

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Wendy and Rocco's beautiful home.
I had the delightful pleasure of meeting with them before they left on holidays.
Wendy and Rocco made me feel right at home and were gracious enough to have me feel like part of the family.

The two Morkies, Sammy and Frankie are the sweetest and most precious fur babies, with individual personalities, you'd ever get to meet.
They are so affectionate and cuddly. They make you feel as if you have been part of their lives forever.

Bayfield is an amazing place to live and visit.
It's like having a Hallmark experience.

I can't wait to go back again. Especially for Christmas in November.

Love & Laughter blessings!

We had a wonderful time watching Shep!

Megan and her husband were kind and great at communicating. Shep was a distinguished gentleman - truly such a sweet, wonderful boy! The house was clean, spacious, comfortable and located in a beautiful neighborhood. We had an excellent time and would be happy to return someday in the future!

Julia
Julia was incredibly kind, communicative and so welcoming. Squish is the most adorable dog I’ve ever met! It took a while for her to warm up to me, but once she did we had a lot of cuddles. 🥰 Outside of the apartment, I spent a lot of time walking to the library, the beautiful independence park, taking the tram downtown, and playing pool in the lobby haha. It was such a pleasant experience to house sit for Julia and Squish - I highly recommend!
