Cat Sitters in East Kelowna

Tess

What can I say about the lovely Tess other than if you are lucky enough to have Tess offer to sit for you then do not hesitate to accept her offer. Tess was very self sufficient and diligent in her care of our dogs, who I have to say are missing her snuggles. She sent lots of photos and kept us up to date with all that was happening. The house was immaculate when we came home. Tess has a lovely personality and a very calm presence and we'd be delighted if she were able to sit for us in the future.

Vanessa

Vanessa house and pet sat for us for nearly a month while we were out of the country. My expectations were to have our home and dog well cared for, to trust that she treated our home as her own, was respectful, and a good communicator. She was all of those things, and I really appreciated her time and efforts to take really good care of our home and dog.

Kevin C & Dianne

Dianne & Kevin were fantastic! Excellent communication to coordinate the housesit timing, pet care, and going over details about the house. I loved receiving pictures of our kitties while traveling. Between the communication and photos I wasn’t worried about being away and knew everything was in good hands. Coming home the house was just like I left it. Thank you guys for everything!

Amelia

If there was any way to give Amelia more than 5 stars, we would. Lenny, our Cockapoo, loved Amelia. While Amelia was here for 2 weeks, she taught Lenny to stop barking every time someone passed our house, taught him to stay, and got him to pee and poop on his walks. He'd never done any of those things before. Amelia also handled various handymen who came for scheduled chores. She sent us many pictures and videos of Lenny having a great time with her. When we returned from our holiday, our house was sparkling clean and Amelia even made sure we had our necessities in the refrigerator. Amelia has a wonderful personality and was a pleasure to spend time with. There's no way I can overestimate what a wonderful house/pet sitter and person she is. I would definitely recommend her, and we would be thrilled to come back here again.

Julie & Gavin

Julie and Gavin were amazing! One of our dogs had a hot spot flare up the day before our trip, and we had to put a vest on her to prevent her from biting and scratching it. Julie and Gavin were totally understanding and updated us throughout the trip that her vest was staying on. They took the dogs out for a walk every day and took them on hikes while here. Their communication was great as well. They left our house spotless and clean, with the litterboxes freshly cleaned and the sheets in the laundry room. We would love to have them another time if they are ever in the area again!

Katrine & Charlene

Kat and her friend were great sitters who took wonderful care of our dog. With an epileptic dog it can be nerve wracking to have someone new watch her but she sent us regular updates and checked in often! I would recommend doing a video call with them ahead of the sit to ensure you’re on the same page about sit/house rules and guidelines and overall needs for the sit. She’s a great sitter we would definitely recommend!

Darrell

I’m pleased to leave Darrell a great review on his first zeewoi sit. Thank you Darrell.

Emma

Emma and David arrived on time and it was clear the dogs felt really comfortable with them from the start. After we left for the airport, Emma sent us a photo of one of the cats rubbing up against David-normally the cats disappear for days when sitters arrive! They were a very friendly couple and the only reason I didn’t give them 5 stars was that they left pots and pans on the draining board which, because they are Le Crueset, rust at the top and rust the drainer. Cushions on the sofa were not plumped up after use but these are small things and perhaps I should have been clearer on what was expected.

Rachael

Rachael took great care of our cat and dog while we were out of country for 3 weeks. She was responsive to any messages we sent and followed all details of our home guide. She was self sufficient and took care of problems by herself as they arose. I would highly recommend Rachael for any house sitting or pet sitting needs in the future.

Nayan

Was very happy to have Nayan in my home and taking care of Frankie while we were away! I would very much recommend her!

Jody

We had Jody stay at our home for 3 nights and it was an absolute pleasure! So sweet and caring of our home. It was cleaner than how I left it! I had realized I forgot to clean the bathroom sink before I left on our weekend trip, but it was clean when I got home! Communication was also great. Would love to have Jody back to sit Carl any time in the future!

Kelsey

Kelsey was awesome - she took care of our fur babies in such a way that they were looking for her after she left - an excellent sign. Kelsey kept us informed regularly, asked questions if in doubt, and operated in a way that made me feel extremely comfortable with our home and fur babies in her care. She is lovely and warm, and I would have her watch over our fur babies again. Thank you Kelsey :-)

Robyn

We have had a wonderful experience with Monika and Kevin in our home. They were with Charlie and the fish (whom they named) for 4 months. Charlie was relaxed and content when we returned and my catfish are HUGE! No casualties in the tank either, which I have to say is unusual. The house was beautifully clean and smelled delicious , because there was a lovely cake on the counter for us. 
We did have a problem that needed taken care of while we were away and Kevin was there to see to it, outside, on a cold winter day. Thank you so much Kevin!
Also, I have had white spots on my black stove, which I could not seem to remove, they are now miraculously gone... thank you Monica, I assume. I need to know the secret!
Because of the Covid restrictions and problems with the airlines, our travel home plans were changed more than once. Monika and Kevin were able and willing to accommodate us and a very short notice in the end. Thank you again for going above and beyond and your excellent care while in our home.
