Dog Sitters in Fairmont City, IL

Todd

Best Housesitter ever! From the beginning, Todd was responsive, punctual, friendly, flexible, and reliable. He kept us apprised of his travel plans and arrival time. He took excellent care of the house and left it cleaner than he found it. From his messages during our trip, we felt he cared about and truly liked our pets and we knew we had left them in wonderful hands. He kept up with our active border collie and might have actually tired him out! Todd was great to work with, we’d love to have him back, and we highly recommend him to anyone who loves their home and worries about their pets. He’s awesome.

Carol

Carol and Jason were fantastic sitters for our two dogs, particularly in some challenging situations when they went wandering when the invisible fence had somehow come unplugged. They were kind, patient, understanding and showed deep concern for the health and happiness of our dogs. It was clear they are animal lovers and were particularly patient with our pup Ivy who takes time to warm up to new people. They left the house clean, with a fresh rhubarb crisp in the fridge, and even drove us back and forth to the airport, saving us hundreds of dollars on parking. They went above and beyond, with understanding and grace, and we'd highly recommend them to everyone.

Stephanie Vaughn

Stephanie and Michael took very good care of our dog. They kept us informed with tons of pics!

Song

Yizhe was wonderful to work with and showed Carbon a ton of love, would definitely invite him back again.

melanie

Melanie was a dream dog/housesitter! The Mary Poppins of zeewoi. She was fabulous with the animals and very conscientious of the house and yard. We came back to a spotless home and happy creatures! So grateful. Would be so happy to have Melanie again.

Kristen

Kirsten is a wonderful young woman who clearly loves animals and is ready to take on any task that the animal needs. She has taken my dog into the woods for long walks, to the beach and to parks. My dog LOVES her and my cat does too. I highly recommend her for taking care of your four-legged family members.

Teresa

Teresa is the best of the best of zeewoi. Our dogs love her and welcome her when she comes in the house. She send pictures and videos and keeps us informed. The house had a little problem and she dealt with it easily. We give her the highest recommendation.

Isabela & Bryce

This was the first time we had a zeewoi that we had not met and oriented in person. We did a FaceTime intro just prior to Isabela's stay and added a few final notes to our on-site guest notebook. There was incomplete construction before our departure which we interrupted but it made our deck unusable for our time away. Nevertheless, despite these imperfections, the house was left just as hoped for with a happy cat who seemed to have been well cared for in our absence. Bottom line: Isabela and Bryce were flexible and took care of business !

Gabby

Gabby and her partner were very thoughtful sitters. They took great care of Buddy and made sure he got all his walks and potty breaks. I wish they were a bit more proactive wirh updates but they did respond when I reached out. Overall I had a great experience with them.

Lisa

Lisa was self-sufficient, and a great cat sitter, with regular communication, lovely pictures, and evident care and cleanliness. Looking forward to the next sitting opportunity with Lisa!

Kea

Kea was wonderful. She sent updates daily. The house was in incredible condition and the dogs were very happy!

Christine

Christine was super responsive and organised while coordinating the house handover. She was very self sufficient, and took the initiative to experiment with different litter box arrangements and bought some puppy pads to deal with our cat’s recent urinary issues. The house was clean and sheets were washed when we returned. Would be happy to welcome her back!

Diane

We are so happy to have had Young take care of Carly and our home!! She took excellent care of Carly, sent all kinds of fun photos and that made out trip even better! Young was kind enough to come the day before we left so we could get to know her and now we have a new friend! She helped us with an emergency water issue that came up as we were getting ready to leave!! She dropped us off at the ferry and picked us up when we returned.  We are going to have her come back again soon!!! We could not have had a more perfect experience!!

Natalia

Monty and Lola are exceptional hosts. They greeted me every morning with cuddles, biscuits, purrs and licks. They are absolutely adorable. 

They are at that age where they get into everything, but in an entertaining way. They just kept me on my toes. They are kittens after all.

Monty is hysterical when he plays fetch with his whirling toy.  Watching him proudly return to have me “throw” it again was one of the highlights of my visit. Lola rarely managed to get the toy before Monty, but when she did, she hid it instead of returning it, lol.  She knew her brother would otherwise just be too fast for her. The feather on a string was much more of an equalizer, as long as you can play two-fisted :-).

The house itself is clean and easy to keep so. Cabinets are labeled, making things easy. Plenty of food options within a couple blocks and the bus line is a block away. Even the T is only about a 20 minute walk.  Overall, a pleasant stay.
