I really wanted to leave a five star review as I have with every other sitter we've had, as Miriam was very lovely and said she loved our dogs. But the lost house key was a big issue for us. I'll start with the positives: -I had a great first chat with Miriam and was happy to have her at the house; she was pleasant and very flexible to change her arrival by a day when I messed up the dates, so I was grateful for that -She said she regularly took our dogs to the off leash park (which they love) -She left the kitchen and most of the house tidy -The plants were all in good shape -The cat was happy and healthy Less positive: -She lost our house key and seemed a bit cavalier about it; she didn't offer to pay for a replacement key or pay for rekeying the locks (which I now need to do) -She didn't communicate much during the whole sit unless I reached out; I never heard anything about the cat, and I didn't find out until days after that our 8mo puppy had been left unsupervised and uncrated for hours and had eaten an entire tin of liver treats; luckily she didn't get into something more dangerous/toxic -Our dogs were unusually starving when we got home, with both eating multiple servings of food that night (very weird for both of them as they are not big eaters) -There was feces in one toilet that had very likely been there for days; I had to scrub the toilet multiple times -The dirty bed linens were tossed on our bathroom floor -There were many bags of dog poop piled in our front garden -There were two dried puppy pee stains on one dog bed and one on the front door mat (either missed or ignored?) -Almost nothing on the zeewoi post-sit cleaning checklist had been done (I certainly don't expect a professionally cleaned home, but I always hope it to be as clean as I left it) As we've had many great sits previously, this was quite a departure from our normal zeewoi experience. And I'm guessing Miriam was likely overwhelmed with three dogs, as she also had her own puppy with her. But the loss of the house key and unusual intense hunger in both dogs were especially unsettling for us.

If Antonella takes care of your home and pets half as good as she did ours, you’ll be happy! This was our first time using TH as homeowners. After posting our listing, we didn’t have applicants but had noticed that Antonella had saved our listing among her favorites. We reached out to her to inquire if she’d be available and interested in sitting our dog and cat for the two weeks we were going to be absent. We had a video chat with Antonella and immediately knew that Charlie and Asterix would be in good hands! She was friendly and flexible in her availability for the chat. She asked if a friend of hers could join her, which we welcomed as it meant more loving for the kids (Charlie and Asterix)! I was not home when Antonella and Ramina arrived (my husband greeted them alone), they were punctual, asked pertinent questions about the house & kids and were friendly to Charlie & Asterix who took to them right away. They showed up bearing gifts for Charlie to chew and Asterix to chase - instant hits! During the sit, Antonella stayed in touch sending messages, pictures and videos which showed her obvious love and attention to Charlie. For a dog that normally feels abandoned by us when we leave, he sure didn’t look like he was missing us! We have to admit that our feelings were a little bit hurt! This was a winter sit... it was snowy and cold... Antonella and Ramina nonetheless walked Charlie, taking the time to put his little booties on. They even shoveled our long driveway, which they didn’t need to do, as a neighbour was to clear it in our absence. And the weather was miserable, with snow storm after snow storm; it would have been quite the workout! Like if all this wasn’t enough, five days before the end of the sit, I realized my mistake in the return date I had indicated on the listing. I contacted Antonella to inform her and worriedly ask her if she could stay an extra day. She did not hesitate and agreed immediately, to our huge relief! She patiently went through the TH required steps to have the sit extended in the system, on a Saturday that should have been a well-deserved day off. We unfortunately didn’t have the chance to see Antonella and Ramina upon our return. They waited and made sure that our flight had landed not to leave Charlie and Asterix stranded had we been delayed and headed out for their long drive while we were on our way home. Like if we hadn’t been already impressed by Antonella by then, we got home to happy kids, an impeccable home (floors were mopped with no doggy paw prints, which is no small feat with wet snow on a dark floor), washed linen and towels, a maintained hot tub and the outdoor steps, walkway and deck cleared of snow. Antonella and Ramina had washed Charlie, he was white and fluffy, which was great with the amount of hugs and kisses we bestowed upon him! Charlie and Asterix even got their first report card! Antonella hilariously rated them on cuteness, following rules, food, and brotherly love (some improvement was needed here!). You can not go wrong in selecting Antonella. We’d have her back in a heart beat if she were up to the challenge of taking care of Charlie and Asterix again! Antonella and Ramina, we cannot thank you enough for having given us peace of mind while we were away! Thank you and all the best in your travels and future sits!
