Tegan and Jacob were INCREDIBLE. Less than a week before we left Ernest with them for two nights, Ernest had to have emergency surgery. Afterwards, Ernest was taking three medications, twice a day, and had to be kept trapped in our bathroom, so that he didn't move too much or jump on anything. I was very worried and considered cancelling my work trip. How could a stranger be trusted to keep an eye on him, give him his medications on time, spend time with him in a bathroom?? But Tegan and Jacob came to the RESCUE! They immediately inspired confidence so I felt like I could go without guilt. And then they delivered. They literally sat with their laptops on the bathroom floor so Ernest could sit next to them and not be lonely. They handled his multiple meds and reported twice a day with photos as to how he was doing. They kept an eye on his surgical site and reported on his urine. They left us a two-page handwritten note with all the details about his condition along with freshly baked cookies - just because. They even cleaned up the flies that were starting to accumulate in the bathroom because of the food we were leaving out for Ernest there. I am stunned by their commitment and kindness. Ernest has been much less anxious about being trapped in the bathroom, I think because he no longer associates it with isolation and loneliness. My husband and I are left to wonder whether we should have gone away longer 😅 Anyway, I can go on and on, but they were absolutely the right people to find at the right time, and we (and Ernest) feel very fortunate to have had them here. Strong strong recommend!!

Although we live so far away from one another, Megan was willing to travel from Nova Scotia to San Diego to be a part of Marvin and Darla's lives for an entire week...and what a week they had! When we returned home, Marvin and Darla were exhausted, but they were extremely happy dogs. Megan took great care of the dogs while we were away. When the dogs didn't eat, or when they didn't do other things on schedule (like they would if we were home with them), Megan alerted us and always kept us informed. Her communication before and during the sit was excellent. She handled all of the comings and goings at our home (pool cleaners, gardeners, trash service, etc.) with ease... and, everything was done just as we would have done had we been home. Although this was her first "official" sit through zeewoi, she handled it like a professional, from beginning to end. Megan was an extraordinarily thoughtful sitter. She asked lots of questions before and during the sit to make sure she understood the dogs' needs and habits. She arrived with gifts from her Canadian province for both the dogs and for us. What an incredibly sweet gesture! We were so appreciative. Marvin looked so handsome when she dressed him in the new collar bandana she brought him that represented the flag of Nova Scotia! Darla, of course, was the princess again in the flowered bandana that Megan brought for her. Megan had time to explore the San Diego area while she visited, and we were happy to be able to provide her with recommendations of areas to see. Marvin and Darla loved sitting outside with her while she was reading her book in the sun. They felt catered to during her visit (they told us this!) They would welcome her back to their home any time she wanted to visit again. What an absolute sweetheart Megan is! She gets "5 stars/5 paws" for everything. You would definitely enjoy meeting her, but even more importantly, you'd get a PHENOMENAL pet sitter if you booked her. If she applies to sit for you, you do not need to look at any other applicants. Select Megan. You won't regret it! WE PROMISE!

Nancy & Bill
Nancy and Bill are such warm, wonderful people, and they always made sure I had everything I needed. Their home is absolutely spectacular - spacious, cozy, and so amazingly well appointed -  it was such a pleasure to stay at their home and to spend time with them.

They have an amazing welcome guide, too - it covered everything I needed to know about the house and for care of the amazing Penny and Prince.

Penny and Prince were so well-behaved and super low maintenance.... such incredibly sweet and loving dogs! I absolutely loved my time with them. If you get a chance to sit for and spend time with Penny and Prince, don't hesitate! They will bring joy to your heart as they did for me!

Thanks again for everything, Nancy and Bill! It was truly a wonderful and memorable experience for me, and I can't wait to see you and Penny and Prince again in the future.....

Tracy
Xylo and Pixie are a dynamic duo! Best buddies and super curious about everything! They are delightful company and love a good cuddle. Tracy is a wonderful host. We had an in person introduction before she left town and she made me feel so welcome in her beautiful home. If you are luck enough to sit for Tracy, her vintage renovation is just stunning and brings such a fun, vibrant energy to the experience. Thank you again Tracy!

Pascal
Pascal went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed for the sit including fresh supplies of milk, eggs and other essentials. He's very easy going and allowed us to use whatever we needed while we were there. He also did a spring clean before we arrived, which was much appreciated!

Monkey is a real treasure. He's a master of disguise and hiding and he just blended into the background! It took a couple of days to discover all his hiding places because he can be so silent. I found that if we allowed him his space, he came to us in the end so it worked out fine. He also loved playing with the feather teaser last thing at night, just couldn't get enough of it!

Dunstable is easy to get to and there's lots of shops including a big Asda for any shopping needs. Plus some incredible walks if you know where to look. 

Great sit.
