I really liked Katlyn’s personality she was absolutely wonderful. However, our main intention for having a Housesitter was to look after our cats and help them maintain their routine. I had both an on call meeting a week before the stay and an in person meeting the week of stay to go over how to care for our pets and I mentioned over and over again at every meeting as well as in multiple text messages including a very blatant and bold one on the day we left and it also says on our house manifest and guidelines on zeewoi as well this important info: - the Cats must never be left outside if she was leaving the house because they have no way to get back inside except through the front door that is to be left ajar only while she is home. The cats come home for every meal like clockwork so it’s easy to manage. And they must not be left outside after dinner. The cats must both be inside before she leaves the house for extended periods of time or they must NOT go outside at all if she is about to go anywhere. With that said she let the cats outside one day and then left the house for over 4 hours from 12noon - 4pm and locked the cats outside without access back into the house for water etc. She found them both waiting meowing on the door step when she returned home after 4pm. I respect her honesty completely in that she told me but I just don’t understand how this could happen if the sitter was actually paying attention to any of the information we gave her about the cats care as that was the main reason we let her stay. 2ndly when we returned home today the cat box was completely over full and was obviously never cleaned once during the 6 days we were a way as it was packed with cats feces and the house smelt from it. The garbage was left full and the bedroom was left as if someone just woke up up and left. The rest of the house was perfectly clean the way we left it which was nice. But it kind of felt like someone just stayed in our home for free and didn’t really put the same love and care back in to the place before they left.

Kieran
Janelle and Kieran are warm, friendly and hospitable and have a comfortable, spacious home in a quiet neighborhood. Their home is immaculate as regards cleanliness and they have created a wonderful, enclosed timber deck for either just relaxing or for entertaining.  All communication between us was excellent and a copy of the Welcome Guide was provided.    Wingham is a charming historical location where the locals appreciate trees, gardens and a peaceful environment.  The house sit was very relaxing as Penny did not require any walking, all she wanted was food and water, a pat, tummy rub or two, other than that she just liked to wander independently in her own environment.   It was a short stay, so I didn't venture very far, however, for more action, Taree is only a few minutes away, there are lovely rural settings not far away and the coastal beaches are less than an hour's drive.  I would thoroughly recommend this house sit to any future house / pet sitters, but also hope that I will be invited back.   : - )

Pauline
We had a great time with Bandit & Dakota! They were friendly & easy pups, very glad we got to hang with them. Pauline & Greg’s home is just beautiful, I’d love to have a home like theirs someday.

Mellie
What a wonderful stay just outside of Asheville! Communication with Mellie before and during the housesit was seamless. Mellie did a great job making sure I was comfortable and set up for success. Mellie and Paul are graciously welcoming, have a beautiful and peaceful home, an amazing view, and their three cats are the best. They each have such unique personalities! What fun experiencing the revelation of each cat's personality as they grew accustomed to me. I would absolutely return for another stay.

Eileen
Eileen and Steve made us feel very welcome when we met them, and gave us a comprehensive tour of their home, so we were relaxed and comfortable when we began the sit. Their cat Duke, is gorgeous - very friendly and easy to care for. He enjoyed our company and lots of cuddles, which was lovely.
The house is very comfortable and with everything you might need. It is conveniently placed for exploring Hampshire and for getting up to London.
A really great sit!

Katie
Katie had the house all clean and thoroughly went over all the needs of the three dogs and the turtle. Each dog has a unique persona and after a few days I had a great system for walking them. There is the ocean, rolling hills, a natures reserve, a river and a beautiful hike from Borth to Aberystwyth along the coast. There was a mix of rain and sunshine and was perfectly divine. Dave and Alan are large and need longer walks and Phyllis was a trooper and kept up. They love the ocean the best and roll around in the sand as if to scratch their backs. They love people and at times you do need to keep a strong hold on the leash as Dave in particular might growl at another dog. Off leash they are ecstatic and always came back when I called them. The turtle is chill and keeps busy scratching the elements in his nest as if he is burying something or trying trying to get out. Katie is well organized and all the supplies and feeding system is a good routine. Be mindful If you go to the beach or the river there will be mud and and sand to wash off and keep towel by the front door for them to dry off their feet and fur. You will need to sweep or vacuum twice a day, Alans beautiful mane sheds allot. Everyone one in the town was friendly, the train station at the museum offers walks on some weekends and I learned about the submerged forest from 6000 years ago revealing itself at low tides. Lots of beautiful rocks, the water was warm and my room had a perfect view of the sunsets and the sunrises. So far Borth, Wales is my favourite place in the UK for people, getting grounded, a variety of nature and historical things to see and do, clean air and beauty. There is also a a community garden behind the church that has an area where one can pick excess fruits and veggies that are ripe. Shrewsbury, just an hour train ride away was a fun town and the small shop owners were friendly and engaging. I live in Santa Monica, California at the beach and no one has ever just started chatting with me nor invited me to go swim with them... which did happen in Borth. A lovely woman and her mother invited me to join them, I was touched. I am grateful for this experience and have some great memories with the Pack!
