Maxine took wonderful care of my cat, Mimi. This was my first time using zeewoi, and Maxine was very kind and told me how the site and the sits work. As a newbie, I highly appreciated this information. Maxine and her partner David are really kind people that genuinely love cats. Maxine sent me updates of Mimi daily (we had agreed on daily updates) and the videos proved that Mimi trusted Maxine and David and felt safe around them. This was a huge relief during my time away and I was able to relax knowing Mimi was well looked after. Even though my apartment is not within a walking distance to the shops, Maxine never complained and made her own arrangements. Maxine also bought toys for Mimi which Mimi plays with often. This was a pleasant surprise which was highly appreciated. Maxine also engaged my cat often and played a lot with her. I appreciated this a lot as my cat loves playing with wands and toys. The apartment was super tidy, to an extent I didn't think was ever possible haha. Maxine is an experienced sitter, which was evident in the way she organised everything for the sit. During the week approaching Maxine's sit, I had a checklist with a number of house related tasks to complete. Due to time constraints, a couple of these tasks were incomplete, but Maxine did not complain although I know that the completion of these tasks would have made Maxine's visit smoother. Overall, I am really grateful to Maxine and David who were so gentle with Mimi. Communication was excellent and friendly and I highly recommend Maxine as you can trust that your cat(s) will be completely safe and well looked after.

Laura
Had an excellent experience sitting for Laura and Sebastian! Mia and Mateo are easy to care for and are very fun dogs with great personalities. The house is very nice with a roomy kitchen! Great location, very quiet neighborhood and lots to do. Would be happy to sit for them again! Definitely recommend.

Emma
Emma was a wonderful host. Communications were clear and regular. She even advised me of several places to visit in the area and went out of her way to make me feel welcome. 

The flat is spacious, comfortable and in a convenient area. It was nice to sit on the balcony and enjoy the mature garden. 

Twiggy was a very easy cat to care for. She’s very friendly and independent. 

Highly recommended 😀

Louise
Shiva is a lovely adorable cat. He was very friendly and playful. It took no time to make friends with him. The house is absolutely amazing with its old wooden structure and the back garden is very well kept and beautiful. The village in itself is beautiful and the walk from the house to the Thames Ditton station in itself is a pleasure. 
Louise is a fantastic host. I met her a day earlier. She had bought loads of food and chocolates for us which was lovely. We had an amazing time there and would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Cressida
Sitting at Cressida's was nothing but a pure and refreshing experience, specially if you come from a big city and want to disconnect from everything. Staying in a valley, surrounded by the Pyrenees and small French villages will slow down your heart pulse and make you listen to the birdsongs. All of this while falling in love with four beautiful beings like the cats Byron and Bruno, and the amazing Basil and Bertie, which won't separate from you and always will cuddle and play with you.

Cressida and Johnny were the best at giving us details for the sitting and great hosts.

Looking forward to come back soon!

Karina
Varad and Karina extended a warm and hospitable welcome to us, making my granddaughter, son, and me feel incredibly at home. Karina made us an amazing breakfast! They also provided detailed information on how to care for their cats.

Katy and Wolfie are an absolute joy to take care of. Katy quickly grew comfortable with us, while Wolfie, being still a baby, needed to check us out first before warming up.

Their home was not only beautiful but also provided a truly enjoyable experience. Our strolls through their lovely neighborhood were thoroughly enjoyable.

We want to express our gratitude to Varad and Karina for entrusting us with their two cats, Katy and Wolfie. We wholeheartedly recommend this pet-sitting experience and would gladly do it again in the future without any hesitation!

Valerie and Dennis are absolutely wonderful! We arrived a day early so they could show us the ropes and they cooked us a lovely dinner and were very hospitable. We had a lovely time getting to know them. They were always available when we had any questions and went above and beyond to provide everything we could possibly need. We adore them! 

The house was truly beautiful with stunning views of the mountains. We had the upstairs bedroom with a balcony and connecting bathroom. The home is truly a unique beauty and we were shocked to hear it was built 23 years ago - it looks like a new build! The grounds are also so well done. We could tell Dennis took pride in the landscaping and can only imagine it taking forever maintain its beauty. Seriously - the pictures don’t do this property justice! 

Now for the adorable, sweet Nash! He was quite aloof the first evening but warmed up to us really quickly the next morning. He’s not a snuggler but does enjoy frequent pets, lounging outside, and chasing his rainbow cat toy. He loves to chill and sunbathe on the windowsill but is also outside most of the time - weather permitting. He has some anxiety so will pull out his hair sometimes but Valerie and Dennis reassured us this is normal. He’s very food motivated so easy to bring him inside and outside when needed with a little shake of the treat pouch (which we really didn’t even have to do). He’s such a good boy and we enjoyed him so much! 

A thousand thanks, Valerie and Dennis! We are grateful for the lovely experience! 💜
