I wish I could give Alexis a glowing review, but unfortunately I probably wouldn't have her house and petsit for us again. She was so bad at communication that I worried she might not even show up. There were several times I reached out to her on zeewoi and her phone, and I often didn't hear back for days and only then I'd have to ping her again to get her to respond. After I shared all my housesitting info, I asked if she had any questions, she assured me she read everything and didn't have any questions, but then she clearly did not read through well because she missed some important stuff. A major one was that I had asked her to arrive mid morning because we had left out at 5am and my dog would need to go out around that time. I asked her ETA that day, and she told me she wouldn't be able to be there until 5pm and asked if that would be a problem. That struck me as a problematic question. She arrived around 6-7 hours after I asked her to and didn't think that would be an issue. So, I had to scramble to find a friend to go by and let my dog out. She also texted me for the address and how to get into the house. It was all in the info that she assured me she had already read through. Our pets seemed to be fine when we got home so that is the most important, but many requests I made or instructions I left were just not done. Some of it was related to how I give water to my cat and change his litterbox, but some was household related. A bunch of my plants died-- my whole vegetable garden as well as plants in my yard were completely dried up. Alexis happened to still be at the house when I arrived home. She showed me where packages were, but when I asked about where she had put my mail, she said that she had forgotten to check it and it was probably overflowing. Overall, I feel like I upheld my side by providing a clean, comfortable house and clear instructions, but I feel like she did not uphold her side of the agreement by caring for my house well by reading through and following the instructions I left for her.

Peter and Gill are excellent pet and house sitters. It was lovely to return to such a clean house, vases of picked flowers and well cared for poultry. They were very accomodating to our transport issues as our car broke down when we were leaving which made the situation less stressful. I have a lot of plants and they took excellent care of them which is more than I would expect, especially as we had very hot dry weather. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my poultry, plants and home.

We were always reluctant to travel because we worried about our two Golden Retrievers but then we found Shannon. Arriving just when she said she would, her calmness and innate serenity immediately set us at ease. 
All I can say is WOW and that may be an understatement. While we were gone, Shannon sent us photos of our pups, updated us regularly and consistently and I suspect she spoiled our dogs as much as we do. (In fact, Chloe, our timid, previously traumatized dog seems to be currently searching for Shannon and appears disappointed that she is not here!)
Shannon left our house immaculately clean, our babes brushed and very happy, our many plants thriving and so much more.
There is absolutely no question that we would have Shannon house/pet sit should we ever need a Zeewoi!
Thank you Shannon.
