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.

We were lucky to have Sumi watch Rosie for the weekend. She was lovely to communicate with and immediately engaged Rosie, making us feel comfortable that they've have fun together while we were away. We also appreciated her brief daily updates!

The animals were well taken care of, and the house looked great upon our return.

Having Megan house sit for us while we were away for 10 days was like entrusting our home to an old friend. We originally booked her to house and dog sit, but sadly our old dear old dog passed away before our travel dates. We had Megan come anyway, because we'd just had our property re-landscaped and needed someone to tend to all the new plants through the brutal Texas heat. She watered all diligently. And when we returned, we found all still alive and our house neat and tidy. We'd be pleased to have Megan house sit for us again any time she's available.

FANTASTIC couple and such a great house. Mickey and Nat were lovely and have adorable dogs and a cute cat. 
List of greatness:
- House was very clean. 
- They have a lovely trail if you want to go on a walk with Louie and Koda.
- They are less than 30 minutes from Asheville. 
- The dogs have a doggie door so you don't have to worry about bathroom breaks or if they need some fresh air if you are out and about.
Highly recommend these folks.
