Maxine took wonderful care of my cat, Mimi. This was my first time using zeewoi, and Maxine was very kind and told me how the site and the sits work. As a newbie, I highly appreciated this information. Maxine and her partner David are really kind people that genuinely love cats. Maxine sent me updates of Mimi daily (we had agreed on daily updates) and the videos proved that Mimi trusted Maxine and David and felt safe around them. This was a huge relief during my time away and I was able to relax knowing Mimi was well looked after. Even though my apartment is not within a walking distance to the shops, Maxine never complained and made her own arrangements. Maxine also bought toys for Mimi which Mimi plays with often. This was a pleasant surprise which was highly appreciated. Maxine also engaged my cat often and played a lot with her. I appreciated this a lot as my cat loves playing with wands and toys. The apartment was super tidy, to an extent I didn't think was ever possible haha. Maxine is an experienced sitter, which was evident in the way she organised everything for the sit. During the week approaching Maxine's sit, I had a checklist with a number of house related tasks to complete. Due to time constraints, a couple of these tasks were incomplete, but Maxine did not complain although I know that the completion of these tasks would have made Maxine's visit smoother. Overall, I am really grateful to Maxine and David who were so gentle with Mimi. Communication was excellent and friendly and I highly recommend Maxine as you can trust that your cat(s) will be completely safe and well looked after.

Becky
Had a lovely weekend with Binx and Baba at Becky’s place in south east London.
Becky was great, and made us feel very welcome and her house was very comfortable. 
The cats are gorgeous - super chilled,
easy to look after and very happy to
chill and cuddle all day. The train station was walking distance with easy access to Victoria station and the Eltham area
has great charm. Would recommend! :)

Nancy and her husband have a beautiful home that any pet-sitter would enjoy! The light therapy sauna and the Bio-mat were an unexpected treat to try while staying a couple of days. Toby and Noodle were sweet and love to be by your side wherever you go. I enjoyed hanging out with them in the newly landscaped backyard, while they chased each other around. I didn’t try the outdoor fireplace, but I’m sure whoever stays next would absolutely love it. Toby and Noodle were great cuddle buddies, and very easy to care for, with Toby needing a bit of tricking with treats around other dogs on our short walks around the neighborhood. Would gladly housesit for these little guys again in the future! Thanks!

This sit is about as good as they get - I would absolutely stay with Kira and Piper again.  Such lovely girls, each with very distinct personalities.  The house is gorgeous and has everything you need, including a fenced backyard for quick outside bathroom breaks for the girls.  

The neighborhood is also beautiful, and Kira and Piper do great on a leash and are trained to redirect from any distractions (squirrels, other barking dogs) by saying the word treat.  They sat right down, even if they were in the middle of trying to outbark another barking dog.  Impressive! 

Kristin and Cathal were very laid back and kind and offered up use of pretty much anything and everything in the house.  Very easy-going, lovely people.  Very responsive to any questions throughout the stay, I never worried about being able to reach them. I hope to have the opportunity to stay with Kira and Piper again!

Bruce is a sweet and super activate dog that is happiest when you’re putting your socks on cause he knows he’s going for a walk soon!

Bruce like most dogs is highly motivated by food and will impressively hold off from eating his meals until you say it’s ok, and he will listen attentively if you have treats. For the next sitter, Bruce will eat almost anything he finds on the street which might not be so good for him so watch out especially on the morning walk when he’s most likely to find an extra meal on the streets. He is absolutely obsessed with his balls and gets super excited to play fetch. We played fetch twice a day and it was a great way to expend his energy so he relaxed throughout the day. He is also a fantastic running partner and we took jogs around Victoria Park several times throughout the week. 

Maya is lovely and easy going and will make you feel at home. Very easy to contact and fun to talk to.
