Crystal is a really lovely person with a warm personality and kind, honest heart. We very much enjoyed getting to know her. We were pleased that our two Burmese cats seemed happy in her care. The house was very tidy on our return and we were grateful for some delicious quiche left in the fridge when we got home late at night. She also laundered the bedsheets and gave us a beautiful plant/card which was very kind. We hesitate to share that there were a few challenges, given how lovely Crystal is, but feel that zeewoi only works if there is a degree of transparency so that people can decide whether a sitter is right for their circumstances. Our two house cats are pretty straightforward and basically just need some companionship and food three times a day. We had clearly said in the welcome guide and during the demo food preparation before we left that one of the cats needed medicine in her morning feed. We showed Crystal where this was stored in the fridge. She took a photo of the jar and amount of powder needed. However, Crystal forgot to add this medication to the cat's food until half way through our holiday which did cause us some worry. A picture in a glass frame was knocked off the wall whilst we were away (no big issue as these things can happen) but, instead of vacuuming up afterwards, Crystal left a towel to cover the remaining tiny shards of glass which couldn’t be picked up by hand. This wasn’t ideal as these could have easily ended up in the cats’ paws (...one of their favourite past times is exploring under covers, sheets, etc). Crystal did offer to reimburse us for the re-framing of the picture which we didn’t expect or take up but her offer was appreciated. However, to our surprise, the morning after we arrived home, we found the picture (which is quite precious to us) had been put outside on the patio. Thank goodness there had been no rain. We really wish Crystal the best for the future. We are pleased to have crossed paths with her and, most of all, will remember her warmth and kindness. We want to note that Crystal's other reviews seem to reflect smooth experiences so perhaps these hiccups were just a one off occurrence.

Manuela
A cosy traditional cottage, full of character and lovingly restored, nestled in the Leitrim countryside. Very comfortable and we felt at home pretty much straight away. We had been able to visit beforehand, so got excellent demonstrations and explanations of all the jobs to do with animal care. Once you get the hang of it, it's straight forward. Dog, cat, donkeys, horse and those three geese are all SUCH great strong characters - it was a delight to spend time with and get to know them. Ducks/ hens/ guineafowl are doing their own thing, but are a pleasure to have wandering around. We loved walks with Emma the dog and also the two donkeys, who are grateful for the opportunity to browse the roadside hedges. Lough Allen is just down the road - good swim spot - and Drumshanbo is a ten minute drive - great pubs, a good café and friendly locals. Many walks within the area or you could just stay home and chill with all the critters. If a hidden rural gem with lots of animal action is your thing, we can highly recommend this stay. And we would definitely come back!

Kara the dog is an absolute charm, loves attention and people, and is a great companion overall. Leo the cat is a beautiful and relaxed boy who enjoys attention sometimes :)
Beautiful home and great neighborhood as well!
Highly recommended- thanks Anne!

Wheels is a delight and the location,a short walk to Dallas rd.,is fabulous. Carol Lynne is a great communicator and went out of her way to insure I was comfortable and well oriented before leaving.

This is hands down the best house sit we've done to date. Mindy and Dave were wonderful. They left detailed instructions for us and everything was easy to take care of. 

Eesa is the cutest cat. She loved to play fetch with us. She cuddled with us a lot at night and in the morning. She's also the best behaved cat we've ever watched. She didn't try to walk on our laptops or chew any cables. We miss her already!

Their house is beautiful. We watched the sunrise over the mountains every morning from the balcony. We also enjoyed the hot tub. The location was great. We spent lots of time hiking since there are so many great trails within an hour of the house. It was especially pretty in the fall. 

We would love to come back and house sit for them again some time.
