We had a dilemma …. We wanted to go to a family reunion over 200 miles away that required an overnight stay and taking our pets wasn’t an option. We have a 14-year-old cocker spaniel who is deaf and only has one eye with limited vision, and we really wanted her to stay in familiar surroundings, along with the (almost) three-year-old golden retriever and the two cats. We couldn’t find friends available to cover us, so we turned to zeewoi. We looked for someone local as it was just for one night, and we are so glad we did! We read the bio for Beth and Syd and immediately felt a connection. We sent a message and to our delight Beth responded and indicated they could be available for the Saturday night and Sunday day. We arranged to meet and despite their busy work schedules, they found the time to come over and meet the gang, and upon meeting them our initial positive feelings were confirmed. They are such a lovely, interesting young couple, mature in outlook, fun and entertaining with a background in pets and animal welfare that gave us the confidence to know we had struck gold and were very lucky to have found them. They were totally unfazed with the medical needs of the spaniel and took great delight in the friendly nature of the retriever. The cats were given equal attention. They absorbed masses of information thrown at them regarding eating routines, feeding routines, looking after the property etc and after a short while we felt like we had known them for ages! They arrived on the Saturday morning at the time we had agreed. We left them with lists and pages of info and a feeling of complete trust and confidence and they did not disappoint us. Although it was only one night, upon our return the house and pets were exactly as we left them! They coped fantastically well with the aging spaniel who is very set in her ways, and the exuberant retriever who can require you to have eyes in the back of your head at times, and the two cats who do things on their terms only! In such a short time we have made two new friends and we now have them on speed dial should we ever need sitters in the future. And if we do, we would have no hesitation in calling Beth and Syd. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for animal and/or house sitters, wherever you may live!

Jennifer
Jen was very easy to communicate with, she even researched the best train from London for us and found us a bargain fare!  We were met at the station by Andy who drove us around and familiarised us with Bowness before arriving home and meeting lovely Jen and the 2 cutest dogs ever, Roxy and Ollie.  We all had a little walk together before they left, we all felt very comfortable with one another.
We thoroughly recommend Jen who is super organised and welcoming and her cute dogs Roxy and Ollie.
Oh and The Lakes District is a fabulous place for walks and soaking up the scenery.
