If you get an opportunity to have Wim & Edy stay and look after your fur babies and home do not miss the chance; they are by their very nature amongst two of the kindest, gentlest people we have met through zeewoi in fact it is fair to say, ever. Our dogs, Crazy Maisie and Ollie Dog, immediately took to their kindness and warmth and were very relaxed and happy in their company. The dogs have most certainly missed them since they left. Their beautiful, gentle dog Pomme joined them during the sit and despite Maisie being a young playful pup, Pomme tolerated her very well and they all enjoyed walks together. Communication was always clear between us and they responded promptly with any questions we had. They sent regular photos and updates of the dogs something I found very reassuring. The house was immaculate on our return and everything was in its place or as we left it. We even had a beautiful apple & raisin tart baked for us to share when we got home. I cannot rate this Wim and Edy highly enough. They are a very thoughtful and exceptionally interesting and talented couple - hearing about Wim's ink pen craft out of ancient wood and Edy's charity work and art work was fascinating. Our lives have most certainly been enriched by meeting them. We very much hope to keep in contact with them and will most certainly use them again. So all that is left to say is Heel erg bedankt voor alle liefde en vriendelijkheid die jullie ons hebben gegeven. Onze hartelijke groeten. John Jo Ollie Hond en Gekke Maisie!

Manuela is a very sweet girl. She is social and kind to others. She helped my parents a lot (who live next door) and my mother really was a great fan of her. So she has good social skills. Manuela uses this site so she can find a place to stay, while she is looking for a job in the Netherlands or elsewhere in Europe. While she was staying in NL, she was following a study at the University. All that of course is not a problem at all; I realize that a lot of people here are using this site to find free or cheap accomodation. However this is a pet site, so the reliability and the quality of the petsitting should be the primary focus. 10 days before the sitting would take place, she informed me that she wouldn't be able to be present during the entire sit due to an in-person conference at the university that would last for a week. Of course this was less then ideal to me but since it was impossible to find another petsitter on such a short notice I went out of my way to find a replacement, and decided to pursue with her as my petsitter. However, half way during her stay she mentioned she would be gone for another week to do her exams at the university. So out of the entire month, she was only present for 50% of it. I had to make sure that I could find a replacement again. Luckily my stepdad was willing to take the care upon him. My pets are my babies so it is super important for me that the petsitter who applies for a period, actually is there the entire period. One of my cats, Frances was not eating well during her stay at my house. Of course that can happen; animals can get sick any time and that doesn't need to be a result of the care. However, my stepdad told me that the bowls in where the cats got their food in, were not clean and got dirty and even mold in it. When he stepped in and cleaned the bowls, Frances started eating again and after a couple of days he was back on his normal eating pattern. Another incident was with the rabbits, I gave her a manual in where I explicitly told her which veggies to give the rabbits and which not. I was not amused to see that she had fed them an entire plate of cut up carrots, while I had told her that they could only have a little piece of a carrot per day. My rabbits have supersensitive intestines and quickly to get gas problems. Carrots have a lot of sugar, so an entire plate can cause problems. Manuela did apply requests I made during my stay abroad; she did apply a spray against flies, when I asked her to and even washed one of the bunnies when that needed to happen. When I came home, I had to do some cleaning. Manuela hadn't noticed that the cats had been spraying on different places, including the kitchen counter and kitchen walls and cabinets. The state of the house was less important to me; I did notice she had cleaned the rabbit area very well so I was happy about that. I think Manuela did her best but just is a bit more casual about things then I would be.

Yulia was wonderful with our pets, and sent sweet pictures every day!  We loved having her family stay with our pet family-they are always welcome in our home!

Jenn has been an amazing house sitter for us. We asked her to come stay for a night prior to the actual house sitting dates in order to meet our dogs and she did so gladly.
We were concerned because one of our dogs is very sensitive but once she got to know Jenn there were no problems. Jenn even came to stay a few days before in order to help settle the dogs.
During our time away she kept us informed with updates and pictures which were of great comfort.
We came back to two happy dogs who we could see had a genuine fondness for Jenn.
The house was clean and there was even dinner prepared which was completely unexpected and very kind of her.
We would highly recommend Jenn to anyone who is looking for a sitter and would gladly have her in our home again in the future.

Jane and Greg stayed in our house and cared for our chickens, garden and cat for two weeks while they were in the process of relocating from California back to Massachusetts. We were able to enjoy our time away knowing that our house and animals were in good hands and we returned to find everyone and everything happy, healthy, and in great shape.  It was especially nice to return just a bit early and enjoy a glass of wine with them before they headed out the next morning. Our cat, in particular, has never been so well groomed and relaxed!
Thank you, Jane and Greg!

We had the most magical time with Anne’s chickens. They are fantastic fun, I miss them!  Passing summer days in the garden with the chickens chirping was the loveliest thing. Anne has a wonderful home and garden in a beautiful village. She gave us lots of recommendations for walks and things to see. Thanks Anne!
