Shawn and Jennifer were the perfect pet sitters! We could not have wished for better people to look after Salt and Pepa! Not only were they meticulous in keeping up the cat`s routines, nurturing S&P`s idiosyncracies, and keeping them clean, fed, and happy in general, but they went above and beyond finding out what else they could want or need in a truly empathetic way. Shawn and Jen taught them new tricks, played with them often, stayed in with them most of the time and observed them and their characters so well, that it seemed after only a few days like they have known - and loved! - the cats for some time. Before we knew these sympathetic brilliant sitters with heart, brains, and instinct we were nervous about leaving our not even 2 year old cats with strangers for more than a month, especially since Salt can be a fragile soul who is very shy and needs a lot of time to bond with people if she does it at all. Not with these two people. They know how to handle cats professionally. Instead of overwhelming them, Shawn is present and offers them attention and playtime. We were able to fully enjoy our time away from home since they were communicating extremely well and in the frequency we agreed on. So we got pictures or videos of S&P every day and reports. The reports as well as the pics showed us that S&P had an extremely good time, and that after only a few days they behaved completely "normal", i.e. we recognized "our" cats from the way that Jen described them and photographed them. Shawn and Jen are both extremely reliable, down-to-earth and self-sufficient. IF there would have been an emergency, we could not have asked for better guardians. The welfare of the cats was always their first concern. What more can we say but that they are also very friendly, humorous, calm and intelligent human beings. When we came home S&P were like: "Oh.. you..? Ok.. But were are the other two?" In our living room was a carefully arranged series of printed out photographs by Jen the excellent photographer. We are so very thankful to Shawn and Jen that they agreed to look after our kitties - and our home, which they also did without fail - and we are truly happy to have made their acquaintance. Hopefully, we will meet again!

I recently had the pleasure of having Candace as my pet/house sitter through Zeewoi, and once again, she delivered stellar service! This was my second time hiring her, and she truly exceeded my expectations.

From the moment I returned home, it was clear that both my cats and I had enjoyed her company. She not only took excellent care of them but also went the extra mile to ensure they were comfortable and happy. I especially appreciated her warm and friendly demeanor, which made me feel at ease during my time away.

Candace has mentioned that she will be moving to Costa Rica soon, and while I’m sad to see her go, I have no doubt that the people on the island will appreciate her pleasant personality, culinary skills, and deep love for animals just as much as I did.

If you're looking for a reliable and caring sitter for your pets or house, I highly recommend Candace. She is truly a gem!

Our stay at Sandra’s with Dillon was a really enjoyable and smooth experience. Sandra’s communication was fantastic from the beginning. She set our expectations for Dillon very clearly and also went the extra mile to make her home welcoming and ideal for our stay with our toddler. 
We already knew the local area but Sandra provided some extra recommendations and we explored some new places. With Knaresborough and Harrogate so close there is so much to see and do. Sandra’s is ideally situated and a quiet, clean and comfortable space to come back to. 

Dillon is a loveable, gentle and happy dog who at 12 years old needs his rest time but always likes to be involved in what is going on, especially food!  He’s a gem to walk, no problem with other dogs. There are so many easy going walks to take him on close by, including the woods right behind Sandra’s house. In the evenings we enjoyed settling in on the sofa with him to relax and cuddle.

We would be delighted to house sit again for Sandra.
