Lakisha is such a wonderful house sitter and animal companion! One could literally not find a better personality to care for animals. Lakisha is a detail oriented, focused but flexible career woman, who is somehow also an outdoorsy, hiking, nature-loving vegan, completely in harmony with animals. She’s able to work from home, so she spent tons of time with my cat. I don’t have dogs right now, but if I did, she would have been cross-country skiing and snowshoeing and hiking with them every day. She literally offered to bring her own cleaning supplies and detergent, to make sure that they are vegan and cruelty free. She organized my kitchen and took adorable pictures of my cat, and sent me a little videos of him. She is the perfect housesitter. I was really wowed by Lakisha’s care, and am so grateful for everything she did…taking care of François, my beloved three legged kitty cat, for an entire month, when I was on the other side of the world. When I first interviewed with Lakisha, she had really great questions. For instance, she prompted, “Tell me about your daily routine with François.” Then she truly listened as I described a day with my cat. Which, for all you cat people out there, is really not a very exciting day. But she took notes. She then asked, “Does he have any special needs or medications?” At the time, he wasn’t on any medication, but right before I left, he did get a prescription… And Lakisha was completely willing to embark upon the difficult task of managing medication in a cat that she had just met. She was really fearless when it came to his health and needs. I was traveling to the other side of the world, in South Sudan, where I didn’t know if I would have Internet access and was working in a stressful situation. Lakisha would send me pictures of François, or a little videos of him playing with his mouse. It was such a relief to know that he was safe and OK with somebody. I remember the day when she wrote to me that they had really connected… And I knew that he actually had a friend who saw his special spark. Then… (!!!) I had to extend my stay…over Christmas, and she stayed extra just to take care of him, through the holidays. Absolutely amazing. When I came home, the house was perfectly clean, with a little gift on the counter. Lakisha had remembered that I made a joke about taking care of my basil plant (It was clearly an already dead plant)….so she bought me a brand new one and also a really pretty nice smelling candle. I am so lucky to have had her with my beloved cat, when I was so very far away, never having left him for so long. It is amazing how somebody can be a stranger one moment, and then they are a beloved cat-auntie the next… Somebody to really trust with your pet and your home. Thank you so much, Lakisha!

Ellen & Chris did a great job looking after Socks. They kept the house clean & tidy. I would definitely recommend them.

Kamika and Ben were wonderful sitters for our house and our pup! Being somewhat local, we got to all meet each other before the sit. Kamika was prompt and reliable in communication before and during the sit, and she was great with our dog (who can be overexcited on walks). We're also grateful for their flexibility when our return trip ran into some complications. When we did arrive home, the house was clean and tidy and our dog was happy. We'd love to have Kamika and Ben sit for us again, and certainly recommend them!

We can't say enough wonderful things about Ian and Karen.  We wish they lived closer! 
We'd arranged for them to stay with our little Yorkie, Sailor.  It was going to be our very first time using zeewoi and we were a little nervous, but we'd had several wonderful conversations with Ian and Karen and they made us feel so comfortable.  We were really looking forward to meeting them in person.  They planned to arrive the day before we were to leave so we could meet them and go over everything.   Hurricane Michael changed all that.   Ian and Karen planned to drive to Florida from their home in TX and had allowed themselves two days.  Hurricane Michael was just a  tropical storm south of Cuba on Sunday.   By the time Ian and Karen left their home later Monday afternoon it had been upgraded to a Cat 1 hurricane and was entering the gulf.   We certainly did not want to put Ian and Karen in harms way .  They had only been on the road for a couple of hours when we heard Michael was a hurricane so we called them and suggested they might want to turn around and return home.   We explained we had no idea what to expect the hurricane to do over the next couple of days and considering the circumstances they were not obligated to watch Sailor as planned.  They were so understanding.   They knew it was still possible we'd still be able to make our trip and would need someone to watch Sailor.  They said they would drive 1/2 way, find a hotel and talk to us about the hurricane's status the next morning, before continuing their trip.  It was so comforting to know they still planned to be available if needed.   The next morning Michael was upgraded to a Cat 2 and was to make landfall somewhere in the gulf.  It was a fast moving hurricane but they still could not determine exactly where it would go.  We called Ian and Karen and told them we didn't think they should come.   We didn't want them driving through bad weather, or get here and possibly be stranded.   They said since there was still a chance Michael could miss us they didn't want to turn around.  They said they would continue to Mobile, AL, get a hotel, and wait until the next morning when we knew more.   Later that night Hurricane Michael was upgraded to a Cat 3 and was heading our direction.  We called Ian and Karen and let them know they should not come.  They were so understanding.  They had such a positive attitude to the change of plans.  They said they had never been to Mobile and planned to stay and see the military museum the next day.    Early the next morning Michael was upgraded to a Cat 4, possible Cat 5, and was going to making landfall very near here.  We knew it was time to leave.  We evacuated at 7:30 AM,  just hours before Hurricane Michael made landfall.  We called Ian and Karen and told them we were evacuating and would be going through Mobile.   We agreed we should meet each other on our way through.   We met and immediately knew we would become good lifelong friends.  They were very sweet to Sailor.  Ian and Karen were so kind and compassionate during a very difficult time in our lives  We will always be grateful.  We have communicated with them many times since that day in Mobile.  We will remain friends and hope to see them again before too long.  We definitely plan to use them to housesit in the future.  We still want to try one of Ian's apple pies!   :)
