We had almost decided on another housesitter for a recent family vacation when we got a message from Liz, who travels with her dog Buster. Our dogs love other dogs and we thought the addition of a play pal would really help ease any anxiety they had in our absence, even though there’s always a little concern with adding another dog in the mix we decided it was worth a shot and boy did it work out swimmingly! We have always felt that our dogs have been well taken care of with TH, but this is the first time we’ve been away and had daily professional photographic documentation that they were also having mega FUN in our absence! Liz took all the pups out on 3mi minimum hikes every day and facilitated a ton of play and cuddle time at home. I think our girls both fell in love with sweet Buster, he’s 11 so totally mellow and even keeled- he got along perfectly with both Reaux who loves to rough house and Cece who is a lot more mellow. His stint here may help me convince my husband we need another dog! It was a real treat for us to get to travel without any of the usual anxiety that the dogs weren’t getting enough exercise or play time- we are pretty active and they are used to being tired/happy all the time so it’s usually our biggest concern. Liz took such great care of our home and property through two winter storms with several inches of snow, and successfully finished off a 30 course of antibiotics with both of our dogs. We had a little bit of a hectic exit from the house to leave for our trip and she was so sweet to even fold a load of laundry we had in the dryer and take care of a few other loose ends- really above and beyond! As usual with TH- our home was in gorgeous condition when we returned and we couldn’t be more grateful for the respect and attention paid. Thanks Liz for all the love you showed our dogs and our home! And especially for the incredible pics- they were such a treat. Wholeheartedly and enthusiastically recommend Liz and Buster to anyone looking for a great house sitter and dog buddy combo! We’re so thrilled with how well things went we will actively seek out other TH sitters traveling with their pets in the future. 10/10, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Hope to see you guys again some time! Love, Laura & John, Cece & Reaux

Brandy was amazing!! Communication was on point. She was so on top of everything. Honestly she kept me on track for the sit. She also came in clutch for a second sit last minute. Absolutely love having her take care of my fur babies!

I didn't immediately write this review as I was too upset and angry to do so. I felt that if I gave myself a few days to calm down, my review would be far more constructive. Sadly, though this is my very first agreed sit, it will be my last with Zeewoi.
Susa & I corresponded several months leading up to the sit every couple of weeks. This ensured that I was comfortable about leaving Hugo in Susa's care as we discussed his daily routine, the safety aspect of Hugo -  not leaving doors or windows open, etc.
Hugo took to Susa straight away and I felt that Susa felt the same about Hugo. During the sit! Susa sent me daily updates, photos and videos , which was very reassuring as Hugo appeared happy and well looked after.
Towards the end of the sit, we started to feel uneasy about certain situations that had arisen, that Susa was happy to tell me about and I for one couldn't wait to come home. Just 5 days before the end of the sit, Hugo had gone missing from our secure home. From the messages sent from Susa, she searched high & low for Hugo , but he was nowhere to be found. After hearing meowing, Susa found Hugo trapped in our suspended ceiling. Hugo had somehow managed to get into the suspended ceiling and was trapped, frightened and reluctant to come down. However video footage taken by Susa showed her calm nature and this ensured that Hugo came down to safety. We couldn't understand how Hugo could have got into the ceiling, has it's 10ft high with nothing to climb on. However I looked at the previous photos & videos Susa had sent me and they clearly showed that she had placed his climbing tree on top of a table, allowing Hugo being able to reach this space. Susa not only caused this to happen by placing the tree on top of a table but then put the video of Hugo trapped on "You Tube". I feel using his entrapment for amusing social media purposes is irresponsible, disgusting and in very poor taste.
The second, but more worrying incident happened prior to our arrival back home. After a 4 hour flight I did not expect to be told that Hugo had just 20 minutes earlier escaped into the garden through a patio door that had been left open, whilst Susa was upstairs. Not only that but the 2 downstairs bathroom windows were wide open on our arrival.
Firstly not only does my ad clearly state no doors or windows should be left open but also my Welcome Pack. This very important safety condition was also clearly discussed with Susa, so why she felt the need to disregard our clear guidelines for looking after Hugo is beyond belief. 
I felt a real connection with Susa and thought she had clearly read and understood our concise instructions...but then to have 2 incidents in the space of 5 days is truly worrying for me and I has completely put me off using Zeewoi again. 
Would I recommend Susa ...... unfortunately...though I want to recommend her because we got on, I can't, due to the safety issues.

Rayna and Jason provided excellent care for my cat, Shekel. She really bonded with them! They took care of giving her daily pill, petting and grooming her. I returned to a nice, clean house and a happy cat.
