I was really hoping for a smooth experience with Duncan's pet care, and while Duncan seems like a nice person, there were several issues when I returned home that I feel need to be addressed. First, I explicitly stated that I did not want guests in my home, but my neighbor—who, while being a bit nosey, is generally helpful—mentioned that Duncan had someone over without my knowledge. This was quite concerning, as respecting my home and rules is important to me. Secondly, the cleanliness of the kitchen was not up to par. When I returned, I found sticky substances on the counters, around the sink, and residue left on the stove. Additionally, two pots stored in the cabinet were stained with what appeared to be the same food residue that was on the stove – one was my cast iron skillet. Cleanliness is a basic expectation when providing care, and this left me disappointed. The most disturbing issue, however, was the handling of the litter box. I had to throw away my broom and dustpan because they had been used to clean up cat waste that didn’t make it into the LitterBot because it was stuck in a cycle. It was clear that one of my cats was forced to relieve themselves outside of the litter box, and the way this was dealt with was unacceptable. Finally, Duncan notified me of a broken doorknob, which I had to report to maintenance. I later found out that it appeared to have been pulled off rather than being worn down by normal use as I assumed when I received the text. While I’m not sure how this happened, it was just another frustrating issue on top of everything else. I'm generally not picky and try to be understanding, but these problems left me disappointed with the care provided. I hope Duncan takes this feedback constructively and improves these areas for future clients.

We couldn't have been any luckier having Mark & Rose Boots sit for us recently.
We were on vacation for the entire month of May and very apprehensive leaving our 2 cats for that long, especially one of them that always hid under our bed whenever someone other than my husband & I were in the house.
After  just a short time she was interacting and playing with Mark.  We were so pleased with all the pictures and daily updates letting us know how the sit was going.  It was comforting to us to know they were in excellent & caring hands.
We came home to a sparkling clean home.  We highly recommend Mark & Rose and look forward to inviting them again.

Allison & Lance were incredible. They went above and beyond to take amazing of my dog, Boomer. They truly love animals and my dog fell in love with them. They are the nicest couple with huge hearts. They updated me daily with texts and pictures of Boom. They are reliable, responsible, kind, and both Boomer and I am going to miss them. Words cannot adequately describe what beautiful human beings they are. I am so grateful that they came into our lives!

Amanda & Mason are fabulous sitters! This was my first experience with zeewoi, and I couldn’t have been happier. Scout & Hunter got great care and cuddles and even adventures during their stay. We’d love to have them stay again.

Cat-sitting for Giulia's adorable cats, Miso and Tofu, was a delight. Giulia's clear instructions made everything easy, and the cats were playful and affectionate. Communication with Giulia was smooth throughout. Highly recommend her as a cat owner to work with!
