Maxine took wonderful care of my cat, Mimi. This was my first time using zeewoi, and Maxine was very kind and told me how the site and the sits work. As a newbie, I highly appreciated this information. Maxine and her partner David are really kind people that genuinely love cats. Maxine sent me updates of Mimi daily (we had agreed on daily updates) and the videos proved that Mimi trusted Maxine and David and felt safe around them. This was a huge relief during my time away and I was able to relax knowing Mimi was well looked after. Even though my apartment is not within a walking distance to the shops, Maxine never complained and made her own arrangements. Maxine also bought toys for Mimi which Mimi plays with often. This was a pleasant surprise which was highly appreciated. Maxine also engaged my cat often and played a lot with her. I appreciated this a lot as my cat loves playing with wands and toys. The apartment was super tidy, to an extent I didn't think was ever possible haha. Maxine is an experienced sitter, which was evident in the way she organised everything for the sit. During the week approaching Maxine's sit, I had a checklist with a number of house related tasks to complete. Due to time constraints, a couple of these tasks were incomplete, but Maxine did not complain although I know that the completion of these tasks would have made Maxine's visit smoother. Overall, I am really grateful to Maxine and David who were so gentle with Mimi. Communication was excellent and friendly and I highly recommend Maxine as you can trust that your cat(s) will be completely safe and well looked after.

Truly
Truly was super communicative and helpful from the very beginning! While she wasn't able to meet my friend & I when we arrived, Patrick gave us a very warm welcome and solid introduction to the area, their home and of course most importantly the beautiful Lucky. Lucky is a very happy-go-lucky, easy going dog and Hannah & I really enjoyed looking after her. I would highly recommend sitting for Patrick & Truly, they're experienced at receiving housesitters, lovely people and Lucky is an absolute delight!

Maddie + Harsimrat
Watching Freja for Maddie and Harsimrat was an absolute delight! Freja is a cuddle bug who loves to play and we became fast friends. She loves the dog park and is quite social; if there weren’t other dogs at the park (sometimes there weren’t on week days) I’d still let her off her lead and then I’d run around with her! Good exercise for both of us =) 

Maddie and Harsimrat were very gracious hosts and gave me all the information I could possibly need during my 2 weeks in Berlin. Communication with them was excellent and their apartment is lovely with easy transit connections to all of Berlin.

If you have the opportunity to stay with Freja for Maddie and Harsimrat, I highly recommend it! I hope we stay in touch into the future =)

Anastasia
I had a fantastic stay with Boris in the Upper West Side.  He is a super friendly kitty, expect him to be on your lap within minutes. Also, very easy to care for daily - simple diet with treats, loves his play time and snuggles.  Anastasia left detailed instructions and great recommendations.  Very good communication.  Well cared for apartment with a great view overlooking Riverside Park.

The apartment is an ideal location if you enjoy exploring art museums and wandering about nearby Central Park.  Easily my favorite neighborhood to date with a wonderful vibe - quiet (ie no throngs of tourists), but bustling, several main streets lined with cafés, eateries (outdoor seating), lots of small shops.  Trader Joe’s.  Bus stop just steps away, nearby subway.  Felt secure as a solo female traveler.  Very highly recommended.  I would love to return to stay with Boris!

Lovely dogs and location, being on the edge of town meant some great walking on the doorstep, we had a wonderful meal together when we arrived, we would love to house sit here again.

Claudia
I had a wonderful time sitting Percy. He’s a loveable boy who enjoys exploring outside as much as cuddling up. He is easy to care for with a straightforward and easy to follow routine. Percy is very smart and knows exactly what he wants - he will try to negotiate extra food, lets you know when he wants cuddles and even knows which spots he wants you to brush when you groom his fur. 

Claudia is lovely and was great to communicate with before, during and after the sit. She was very clear on what’s required which made everything seamless. Her and Matt gave me a thorough tour of the house when I arrived so I knew where everything was for the stay. They also shared some fantastic recommendations in the area - supermarkets, places to eat, parks, transport etc. 

Their home is gorgeous, clean and has an inviting back garden. It’s in a quiet street in a neighbourhood that has a community feel. The train station is 10 min walk with trains into surrounding areas and central London. Plus buses to surrounding areas. So it’s easy to get around.

Overall, this was an excellent sit :)
