Margaret and her boyfriend stayed at my house while I was out of the country for 3 weeks. It seemed like a good fit but was booked very last minute because the sitters originally scheduled had a medical emergency and had to cancel. My welcome document in zeewoi is very detailed and I have had only phenomenal experiences with past sitters. I let them know my Golden is a food hound and will eat any food left out (we have tried training... he's very sweet but is a counter surfer). I received a text in the middle of the night that he ate an entire pizza they left on the counter and were not sure what to do, so they took him to the ER and incurred a $700 bill (which I paid). I am a veterinarian. He did not need to go to an ER. But moving on about a week or so later - very few updates in 2 weeks until I received another middle of the night text that she would need to leave to meet her boyfriend (who had already left) in FL because his Grandfather was ill. She said she arranged for my mother (whose phone number she had) to take over caring for the dogs. I asked her to let me know when she would be leaving so I could make arrangements for a petsitter because my Mom was not the best choice. Then I came to find out from my Mom that she called her AFTER leaving my pets at home on her way to the airport in an Uber!!!! She literally abandoned my pets and home, called my Mom after leaving hoping she would take over AND THEN texted me in the middle of the night in a foreign country!!!! She failed to respond to any of the messages sent by Zeewoi to explain herself. As if that wasn't bad enough, when my Mom did arrive to walk my dogs my house was a total mess! Dirty linens, the floor hadn't been vacuumed at all and dog hair was everywhere, there were dirty dishes in the sink and dishwasher... I left her a SPOTLESS home and she left my house dirty, my dogs uncared for and cost me a $700 vet bill and another housekeeping visit. I sincerely hope she will never be allowed to accept another sit with this organization or any other.

This was a good sit in a really nice neighborhood in the outskirts of Seattle. Very quiet and out of the city hustle. But only a short ride to the attractions. It was walking distance to trails in discovery park and the Ballard locks. Hazel is a sweet puppy, always exploring with her mouth. She loves hanging in the backyard chewing rocks. Earl is a very confident, handsome cat. He was shy the first 24 hours then he ruled the roost. He booped noses with the dogs and then told them to back off when he was done. James was always within reach and they even let me have friends visit. I would totally sit here again.

We absolutely loved our stay with Winnie and Koda! 
Both dogs were very well behaved and did great throughout the entire stay. Koda is a huge cuddler, so that is a bonus! We were able to bring our dogs, and they had an awesome time playing with Winnie and Koda everyday. I would definitely recommend this sit to anyone looking to check out the area!

Evan and Irene's place was genuinely a home for me. They were absolutely a delight to meet and gave me everything I needed to take care of Leeloo and Indy, who were so much fun to watch, walk, and lounge with. Indy had some troubles during the stay but Evan and Irene went out of their way to help as much as possible and it did not degrade from the experience whatsoever. I couldn't have had a better time and I hope to return soon
