We have been using zeewoi for a few years now and have lots of experience with the App and sitter selection process. In 2021 we moved to rural northern Ontario and in the fall of 2022 we moved into our new home. We jumped back into the world of zeewoi in 2023 wondering how we would do attracting sitters to our somewhat secluded location. We need not have worried! This summer marked our third posting and first summer posting for our new home, It was a pretty short notice listing and we were not expecting a taker for that reason. With just over a week to go an application came in that had me super excited. Jennifer and Ken seemed like a perfect fit for our home. I was eager to chat with them but I was travelling and not free to connect. Jennifer and Ken were fast and accommodating communicators to set up and then reschedule our video chat as I got home later than anticipated. Once we had that chat I knew that I was right to be excited and offered them the sit right away. Ken and Jennifer bring a wide range of experience that makes them an amazing fit for rural sits. They are concise effective communicators and were very easy to work with to confirm the sit and arrange the fine details. On arrival the dogs took to them immediately. I was able to leave the next morning knowing the dogs and chickens were going to be in very good hands. I got regular updates on how the things were going and it was easy to see how happy the dogs were hanging out with Jennifer and Ken. They also jumped right into chicken care, feeding and watering our fast growing “chicks”. One of the attractions of our property is our forest trail. It can come with challenges though in adverse weather. While we were away there was a high wind event that brought down a few trees and branches. Ken and Jennifer messaged asking about saws and axes and cleared off the trail and our vegetable garden area, going well above and beyond what I would have expected anyone to do. On my return home the house was spotless. The dogs were very very content which tells us how much they enjoyed spending time with Jennifer and Ken. The chickens were also well looked after. We would be happy to have Ken and Jennifer back anytime for another sit. If you are lucky enough to have them apply to look after your home and critters, I highly recommend that you jump on the chance to have them sit for you.

Madi & Addison are professionals at this! Their love for their own baby, Shrimp, really shone through the application process and we knew that King Kot would be in good hands. They made everything so easy and effortless from the jump. Sent lots of pics of them having a fun time with Kot. Super respectful and tidy. Would highly recommend Madi & Addison to care for your pets and home.

Gayla and Darren are wonderful people and fantastic house/pet sitters! They truly saved the day for us who our original house-sitter friend had to cancel. Gayla & Darren committed to house sitting our home on short notice and the challenge of getting here with icy road conditions. They were also receptive and took the time to do a 45 minute zoom video tour taking notes all the while so I could show them all the details in person since they arrived to our home after we left for the airport. While we were gone they gave us unprompted updates that everything was going great including pics of the pets. Darren helped me tackle a project that I need help with and all their communication and self reliance was exceptional. I literally did not have to worry for a single moment on vacation for a month that my home and pets were not being taken care of. What a gift!

Upon our return, it was clear that our home and pets had been well cared for. The pets were healthy, it was obvious that the house had been cleaned. They even shop vacuumed out the wood stove and restocked the wood shed so it was ready to go for us upon our return. Amazing! I don't think you can find a more competent couple to take good care of your home, pets, peace of mind and spirits while you are away from your home. Thanks Darren and Gayla!

Isak and Carolien were wonderful housesitters! They came by before our trip to meet the pets and get a tour of the house, and they were so nice and sweet to our dog and cat. They took Ruby on walks while we were gone, sent updates, and left the house very clean. We’d be happy to have them return!
