Joseph took care of our cat and house-sat for us for 2 weeks. In advance of our trip, we were able to do both a virtual and in-person meet and greet to ensure everyone felt comfortable and do a walk through of the house, which we really appreciated.While we were away, Joseph responded quickly to texts/any questions we sent and provided photo and text updates every 1-2 days. Upon our return, our cat seemed happy. Unfortunately, the day of our return, Joseph accidentally locked himself out of our house. He communicated with us and we were able to provide him access to a backup key. However, when we returned home about an hour and a quarter later, we were surprised to find that he was still there (he was supposed to have left much earlier in the day before we arrived home, and we knew he was running a little behind because of the lockout, but he didn’t tell us he would still be there when we walked in). He texted us that the house was clean and ready for us, but unfortunately the house was not clean and the cat litter boxes were quite smelly and appeared not to have been changed or scooped in many days. While we realize that getting locked out of the house created some delays in getting packed and tidying the house, we were upset to find the kitty litter in that state and for the clear disorganization, at least in the final day. We provided this feedback directly to Joseph and hope that this was a one-time experience. However, we would urge clear communication around any expectations for cleaning, communication, and care.

We continue to be blessed with great doggy sitters from zeewoi.  Aries and Lila were well cared for, clearly attended to, and the house looked great when we came home.  Thank you, Tessa!

Marcelina was very sweet to come meet me in advance of our departure.  She asked lots of good questions and was an easy guest.  She clearly really liked cats.  She kept us informed about everything going on at home and took action to prevent a flea outbreak when she noticed a few. We really appreciated the way she took care of our cats and home.

Naomi was amazing before we spoke via video call, and before we text. She stayed in contact throughout the stay knowing by previous sit was a little problematic she reassured my husband and I with photos and updates. I could see the dogs were happy from the photos. My home was spotless on return the best sitter I have had so far. Thank you from us all.

Lev was clear and great with her instructions on how we can make sure Latke was well taken care of. Great communication.
Latke was fun and easy to be with and we had a great few days.
