I am swimming in a reservoir of gratitude following the second sit with Melissa, Justin, River and Cash. This time I was away for a full week and my trip was more peaceful and joyful in knowing my dog and home were being cared for by this family of truly incredible humans. Edie suffered trauma before I rescued her, so she has a lot of fear when it comes to anyone, particularly men. The photos Melissa shared of Edie amplified that she was calm and happy while I was away, even when she was hanging out with Justin and River. Edie slept in bed with Melissa, Justin, and their baby and I’m told she almost had a maternal energy when it came to being with Cash. The world needs more love and kindness these days, even when it is simply micro-dosing those emotions and this family radiates them like the sun radiates sunshine on a bright day. When Desmond Tutu said, “My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together.” He meant that the potential of human beings working collectively to achieve goals is infinitely greater than the potential of any individual. While house/pet sitting may sound like a simple task, it really does give us the opportunity to connect and help one another. Melissa, Justin, River and Cash helped me by caring for my home/pet while ensuring I experienced peace of mind while I was away. I helped them by giving them a unique experience to stay in a place that felt like a sanctuary to them and offered the opportunity for a unique adventure.

Rachel sat for our two dogs and two kittens for our first post Covid vaccine trip! We had planned to be away for 6 days, and advertised the sit as such, but then after Rachel had accepted, we realized we could take a few extra days if she was able to stay longer. And being the flexible person she is, Rachel agreed to the change of plans. She was attentive to the pets (we could tell how much they liked her right off the bat), send texts and pictures almost daily to update us on feeding, walks, etc. She took the dogs to their favorite walking trails in her car several times, which was most kind. I was extremely impressed with the consideration and care she gave both us and our home. In a phone call the day before we were due home she asked if she could go into our “wing” of the house to check for any surprises that the kittens might have left and she mentioned some scratches that she’d noticed on a door frame and worried they might have been caused during her stay. I reassured her they were the work of other cats who are no longer with us, and was impressed with her thoroughness and concern for our home. She was communicative, neat, left the house as clean as she found it, and took excellent care of all our pets. I recommend her without reservation. Thank you Rachel for your TLC to both pets and home! We will welcome you back any time.

Well what can we say! Ralph and Richard are a fantastic couple! They travelled a long way and arrived the day before at our request, so we could spend extra time together and we had a lovely evening!
They are a very nice,  thoughtful, softly-spoken and gentle couple and immediately we were at our ease how they made friends with all our beasties, they have a lot of experience which showed straight away.
During our holiday there were plenty of great updates how they were all doing which was much appreciated.
On our return all bedding had been washed and the house was clean as a whistle, amazing!
We would more than recommend Ralph and Ricky and hope they'd consider returning sometime!
Jeff our Staffy was depressed for 2 days after they left which says it all, he was spoilt rotten.
Thank you for everything ❤️

Anna-Maria was an amazing introduction to zeewoi. She took excellent care of my 4 cats - maybe even better care than I give them. The two boys were a bit stressed by my absence and Anna-Maria was very patient with their behavior and quickly helped them settle down. She was also very flexible and helpful when a water pump decided to make strange noises and a repair man had to come in. I can only say good things about her. Communication was great and she left the house so clean my regular cleaners didn't have anything to do!
