Superlatives are inadequate to fully describe the level of care Jeanne and Anna provided to our home and two pets during their lengthy (one month) sit in our home. Their preparation began well before they arrived, first by reading and reviewing the Quick Reference Guide and House Sitting Manual, then followed up by contacting us to clear up questions that arose from their review. They arrived at our home the day prior to our departure, towing their camping trailer behind them, which they stayed in for the first night while we finished our departure preparations, allowing us plenty of time and space to prepare and conduct a thorough handover. Jeanne, whose strongest expertise is with cats, assumed primary responsibility for the care and feeding of our cat Chicha, while Anna assumed responsibility for our dog Pepe, performing meal preparation and taking him for a walk around our neighborhood. While we were gone, both Jeanne and Anna sent us regular updates via WhatApp, some with accompanying photos and videos, enriching our travel experience while comforting us in the knowledge that are pets were happy and well cared for while presenting clear evidence that each of them had developed close relationships with their charges. As luck would have it, a problem with our irrigation system arose in the form of a zone valve that failed and could not be closed by the controller, compounded with a shutoff valve that refused to shut off. They immediately let us know of the problem, referred to the manual to address the issue, and followed up with our gardener to perform the repairs. They performed above and beyond what could be expected from most house sitters. Before we arrived home, Jeanne and Anna washed their sheets and towels, made up our guest room (which we don't require), and fully tidied up our home in preparation for our arrival. Among all the house sitters we have entrusted in our 5+ years of zeewoi membership, Jeanne and Anna have justly earned their spot on the top of the list of those we'll call when we need another.

Claire
Taking care of Claire and John's house and animals while they were away was an absolute pleasure. They were very accommodating with everything right from the start. They greeted me with a wonderful dinner and we had a nice day in order to be introduced to the tasks.
The house is beautiful and unique, located in a very peaceful area. And the crew of animals is one of the most special we've been with. A part of our heart stayed with Laszlo, Omar and all the rest! It was all in all a wonderful experience. Thank you Claire and John, we hope to be back soon in Betchat :)

Terri
Terri provided clear instructions and communicated with us on a regular basis during our stay.

Maggie Mae, Ginger and Zachary Taylor are a fun fur gang to hang around with.

The home is lovely and in a great location, close to many amenities, including shops, restaurants, and even a great state park.

We highly recommend sitting for Terri if you are lucky enough to be invited.

Pamela
Pam and Kirk have been married 45 years . . . and they are still in love. Their house is full of love for each other and the family they raised. Their home is the kind of nest where ALL the kids and grandkids come  back for holidays. That love extends to two of the cutest, most loving dogs we have been with. They are getting to be senior citizens, but still get excited for their walks and post-walk treats.  Sebastian "purr growls" when you pet him.  Jamie looked it up.  It really is a thing.  It is unique, but so loving and it is one of the things about him that I will miss.  Hachi is just about the cutest girl we have sat for. Those ears!  When you take them on walks they always keep an eye on each other and don't like to be too far apart. 

This sit at Pam and Kirk's was extremely comforting.  We had just come from a very busy area of East Bay with lots of traffic, difficult street parking, and the occasional gun shots just down the street.  Pam and Kirk's large accommodating home was on a very quiet street with friendly neighbors,  beautiful flowers and fruit trees, large back yard that flanks a golf course fairway and very comfortable furniture (including the bed!).  Their kitchen has everything you need and a lot more.  Pam and Kirk showed us all around and we felt immediately at home. It didn't hurt that Kirk is a football fan like me and had the game on the big TV when we walked in. We've been on the road since June and it was my first chance to catch a real live game.  Heaven! I had forgotten how much I'd missed it.  We already miss Chester and Hachi.  

There was one thing we hated about their house . . . leaving it.  We could have easily stayed there a month. We hope to get a chance for a return next year. If you are lucky enough to get an invite from Pam and Kirk, take it immediately.  You won't want to leave.

Mitch & Diane
Sitting for Diane, Mitch, and Max was delightful!  For first-time hosts, they were amazing and had everything so organized and ready for my arrival, with thorough written instructions and helpful information for me to refer to during my stay.

Their home is lovely, in a mature, green, gated neighborhood, with amazing walking trails and great neighbors!  I appreciated them having me stay in their spacious and comfortable master suite, which is where adorable Max also has his bed.  He was a very quiet sleeper and was adaptable to my schedule ... happy when I awoke early to greet him, play a little bit during morning coffee and take a walk before I began work.  But he was equally willing to let me sleep in a bit on the weekend!

We took two good walks each day, one with his frisbee, the other with a tennis ball in tow.  He is a good walker on the lead, needing occasional gentle reminders to "heel" to contain his puppy energy, and he is so eager to please and to guide you to his favorite place to play - a beautiful knoll with ample room to run!   Max is a joy to watch catch the frisbee or chase after the ball.  True to his breed, he is an excellent retriever and deposits the toy every single time just in front of you, anticipating the next throw!

At home, Max has a convenient doggy-door and a nice green backyard to play in!  We even had the neighbors and their dogs over for a few lunchtime or evening playdates. He also happily went with me a few times to run errands - a willing and agreeable companion no matter what you are doing!

He stayed close during the parts of the day when I needed to work and was self-sufficient letting himself out and tossing his toys around to keep himself amused until I could take a break. And, of course, he loves to snuggle - he has the softest fur and the sweetest face and great personality! Although he is full grown, he still has many endearing qualities of a puppy.  Made me a bit sad when I needed to say farewell!

I consider this a highly desirable sit - both in terms of Max, as well as his friendly and warm parents.  If you love labs, and have the opportunity to do so, I'd highly recommend snagging this opportunity!

Brian
Brian is courteous and friendly and Roscoe is a well trained fun loving dog. I enjoyed my time with Roscoe and found that he listened well, warmed up quickly and he is also independent. The location is wonderful with plenty to do and see within a short walk, drive , public transport ride. The home was clean and comfortable. I would definitely sit again / recommend to others.
