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.

Stewart
Stewart was very welcoming when I arrived but Abby was even more so. He explained to me very well Abby's needs and the functioning of his apartment as well as the complex where he lives. Communication before, during and after the dogsit was constant. 

Abby is adorable and so easy to love. She loves people but not so much other dogs. She is constantly looking for caresses and a belly rub. She likes to walk and sniff all the way.

As Stewart was newly moved in he didn't have a coffee maker or kettle but there was a wonderful coffee machine in the club house. There was everything, latte, cappuccino, mocchacino, hot chocolate, tea and all free of charge. It was easy to fit into my routine when I was taking Abby out. 

It was the first time that I had to be with a dog 24 hours a day, but everything went beyond my expectations. Abby behaves very well in the car. We therefore visited the historic villages of Winter Garden, Mount Dora, Clermont and Windermere. We drove on the weekend to Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive, hiked to Lake Louise State Park and Bill Frederik Park.

Stewart and Abby are so lovely and I have no hesitation in recommending them to you.

Karen
We had a lovely, relaxing stay at Karen & Suzanne’s place. They have an eclectic bunch of animals who were all very loving and enjoyed the company! We were able to explore the local area, and go for a few walks, enjoy the sunshine and swim plenty. 

They had everything we needed and were very easy to communicate with if anything came up!

Maren & Christian
I had a lovely time house sitting for Maren! Tessa is a super sweet and well-behaved dog. She's a perfect walker, and we had a nice time exploring the neighborhood and some local sites. Odie and Mokey are great cats, and warmed up to me right away.

I would definitely house-sit for Maren and her crew again!

Rebekah
I absolutely loved meeting Rebekah and staying with Nemo Nemo and little Nook. Rebekah is interesting, kind and generous. Communication was easy. She even accommodated my request to arrive a day early due to a train strike. 
Nemo Nemo was a little shy with me. I understand she is quite selective about who she warms up to, so I didn’t take things too personally. She slept with me and allowed short daytime petting so I just tried to respect her wishes. Nookie was another story all together. I didn’t expect much from her either because she is a new household member, is young and is still being socialized. But, she and I really connected and she spent most of her time on my lap when I was at the apartment. I loved watching the the two cats becoming more tolerant of each other as the days went on. 
Rebekah’s apartment is very comfortable and had everything I needed during my stay in Nice. The location, while not in the center, is easily reached by public transport.
I felt very much at home and plan to return in the future to visit my new friend (Rebekah) and to see two of my favorite cats again.
