Cat Sitters in Lake Monticello, VA

Justin

Great communication right from the start, Justin and Megan gave me confidence they would take care of both our dog and cat. We received some pictures and messages whilst we were away to reassure us all was well. Nice that they had a chance to explore the area while keeping our fur babies happy.It was a shame we didn't get a chance to meet but maybe another opportunity may arise. We can recommend them both as trustworthy sitters for your home and pets.

Christy & Joe

Christy, Joe and kids were great to have out at Cappelhurst! They love the land and the animals, know how to care for it, and engaged both 100%. They kept us posted with fun-to-read texts and pictures, and even volunteered some tree care. All was clean and well cared for upon our return. I hope they pass through our way again.

Petra

Petra was lovely. She communicated well, sent lots of photos/videos while we were away, took great care of the pets and left the house clean. We would definitely have her back again.

Kirsten

Kirsten was an absolute dream! She is incredibly reliable, kind, and responsible. This was our first time using this service and I believe we hit the jackpot with Kirsten! She was very easy to communicate with and sent pictures and updates regularly. We were gone for a month and missed our dog Daisy, so Kirsten’s updates were very helpful! When we came home the house was absolutely spotless. I honestly don’t know how she got it so clean! I highly recommend Kirsten- she’s the best!

Laurie

I would recommend Laurie as a house/pet sitter to anyone and hope she will stay at our place again sometime! She went above and beyond with her communication, came by to pick up the key ahead of her stay, kept the place in perfect order, watered our plants, took in our mail, notified us of packages arriving, and took wonderful care of our elderly cat while we were gone for almost 3 weeks. She even had some unexpected construction outside our apt and never complained. Thank you, Laurie!! You are the best!

Hana

Hana’s care for the cats and the house was excellent. We would not hesitate to engage Hana agin for future sits.

Ibrahim & Sally

Ibrahim sat for us during a summer weekend. He arrived just before we left on our trip with plenty of time to go over the cat care logistics, and he immediately started connecting with our 3 cats, petting them and playing with them. Ibrahim was communicative throughout the weekend and shared photos of the cats (as well as told us about a tree branch that had fallen in the back yard during a storm). We came back to a clean home, freshly laundered sheets and towels, and happy cats. He also left us some delicious curry he had prepared during his stay! Highly recommend Ibrahim as a cat and house sitter!

Robin

Always a dream to have Robin come and sit for my cat Zoe! Great communication, daily updates and pics, and I can tell my kitty is a happy girl when I get home. (Plus, the house is always spotless!) Couldn't recommend more highly! Thanks, Robin!

Alison

Merci Alison for being one of the best Housesitter! You truly are the most wonderful, kind, caring and loving person. Our sweet Oskar was so happy when we arrived home and I don’t think he wanted you to leave! You left our home so beautiful! Looking forward to having you sit again! Big hugs, Una, Mike and Oskar.

Jennifer

I can’t recommend Jenn enough as a cat and house sitter! From the moment I met her, it was clear she was trustworthy and genuinely caring. Her warm personality instantly put my cats at ease, and it was heartwarming to see how quickly they warmed up to her. Jenn was fantastic at communicating throughout my time away, providing updates and even sharing sweet photos of my fur babies. Knowing they were in such good hands made my trip worry-free. She followed all the instructions in my welcome guide to a tee and left my home spotless upon her departure. I truly appreciate her attention to detail and the care she showed for my pets and space. I would gladly welcome her back anytime! Thank you, Jenn, for your wonderful care!

Oguzhan

We were so pleased with Oguzhan’s care of Teddy and Jake. Oguzhan’s partner Charlotte was also on the sit, agreed to ahead of time and which we appreciated. Teddy, our friendly little pup was their snuggle buddy and warmed up to Oguzhan right away. Shy Jake isn’t as sociable but was well taken care of with his feeding and insulin shots. Communication was great with daily updates and photos. The house was left very clean, linens washed, mail and packages brought in. We were so pleased to get home to our boys knowing everything went so well. Thank you to Oguzhan & Charlotte!

Morgan

Morgan did a great job with watching Roxy and taking care of my home. She did some laundry, cleaning and even cut up extra treats for Roxy for when I got home. She was super easy to communicate and coordinate with. We’d love to have her back if she’s ever in the area again!

Jane

Julia came with her daughter and was very self sufficient, reliable, left the place cleaner then when she arrived, and was generally a great sitter.  I got regularly updates on the cats, plus some flowers to arrive home to, which was lovely.

Jeff

We have been using zeewoi for coming on for 7 years now and have had many people sit for us, but I cannot think of a better experience than this one with Natalia and Garth. As usual we FaceTimed with them before their visit and immediately knew we had made a good decision. Mona our French Bulldog can be a little stand offish at first but not this time and very soon was following them around the house, which is a good sign.
While we were away we received regular updates on not just Mona but our small yard and the house as well. Communication was fantastic even with a 6 hour time difference. 
Before we got home we received a very detailed handover email and review of the sit and the house ( and Mona) were in great shape on our return. 
I know that we will stay in contact and I would have them back in a heart beat ( Mona agrees)
