I have not been looking forward to writing this review for Irene and Henry. Because I was not looking forward to be reminded of the turmoil we went through while they were sitting house for us. Irene and Henry had signed up to stay in our home and with our dogs for 9,5 weeks. They knew it was winter in Germany, one of the first things we asked them, if they knew how dark and gray it is and that it can be cold. They had no problem with that. 2 weeks into the sit they said they could not walk our dogs twice a day any more, only once - since they were too tired. They asked for help with the second walk, which we then organized from abroad. Also after two weeks they said, they would have to cut the sit short and would be leaving our home 4,5 weeks early. We should start looking for a replacement. This came as such a shock to us, that at first we refused a replacement. With time and the loving support of the zeewoi staff we started looking for a replacement. Of course there was no one there on such short notice. The hours we spent dealing with finding someone new - this is nothing anyone should have to go through. In the end a friend took our dogs when Irene and Henry left our house and their sit early. Irene and Henry sent us pictures and comments about our dogs regularly. Our house was as clean as when we left it. The plants were well. We were contemplating leaving the zeewoi Community after this painful experience. Our trust was shaken. But, we decided to stay and remember the first two perfect experiences we had with our other sitters, whom we still are in touch with and feel loving and close with.

David and I had the best time with Ike and Piper!  We both love cats but these two are the best!!
Sydney made sure everything we would need to be comfortable was close at hand and the neighborhood is one of the best in Seattle.
Would always accept another assignment here if available.

A very lovely house with green beautiful garden 30 minutes away from a lake by feet. Two friendly and energetic dogs made our weekends fun and active. The host was in touch with us when we had questions. We enjoyed this trip and taking care of the animals :)

We had a great time with Theo!! Such a sweet dog! He loves to cuddle and  be with people and is very mellow, no problem to take him places and great with other dogs, very friendly on leash. We really enjoyed staying at Nick's place, great location really beautiful apartment in the heart of the Russian hill which is a really cool, sweet neighborhood, easy to get to and very SAFE. The communication with Nick was also very good and clear throughout the whole stay. We highly recommend! Really enjoyed ourselves and felt really sad to say goodbye to Theo when the sit was finished.

Staying at Pollyana’s Home was truly wonderful. She had kindly prepared a beautiful bedroom for us to stay in and there were special touches like fresh bouquets of flowers in various rooms. We immensely enjoyed long walks in the picturesque surroundings, playing tennis and sitting in the gorgeous garden.  We felt quite sad when we were leaving the dogs. We became very attached to them. 
Thank you Pollyanna and Chris for this opportunity stay in your lovely home and care for your precious dogs.
