We had the pleasure and good fortune of having Joeke look after our dog, Rooi, for five days, and we couldn't have asked for a better caretaker and companion. Joeke proved to be not only responsible and caring but also incredibly active and energetic, providing Rooi with the perfect blend of exercise, companionship, and affection. From the outset, it was clear that Joeke was committed to ensuring Rooi's well-being. She took the initiative to arrive a day earlier to familiarize herself with Rooi's personality traits and daily routine, demonstrating her dedication to providing personalized care. Throughout her stay, Joeke went above and beyond, taking Rooi on two hikes a day to various scenic locations, including the mountains, beach, and forest. Her enthusiasm for exploring the outdoors was infectious, and Rooi undoubtedly enjoyed every moment of their adventures together. One of the highlights of Joeke's care was her thoughtful gesture of sending us frequent updates and photos of Rooi during their outings. These updates not only reassured us of Rooi's happiness and safety but also allowed us to share in their experiences vicariously. Beyond her exemplary pet care skills, Joeke's warm and open personality made her a joy to interact with. She quickly became a cherished member of our family, and we were grateful for the genuine connection we formed with her in such a short time. Upon returning home, we were delighted to find our house in impeccable condition, a testament to Joeke's meticulousness and respect for our space. In summary, we wholeheartedly recommend Joeke as a zeewoi to anyone seeking compassionate and reliable care for their pets and home. We feel fortunate to have crossed paths with her and would welcome her back with open arms anytime she is in the country and our area. Rooi, in particular, misses her dearly, which speaks volumes about the bond they shared. Thank you, Joeke, for your exceptional care and for becoming a cherished friend to us and Rooi alike.
Adelina & Kim were great sitters. Good and clear communications before the sit alleviated any concerns I might have had regarding them being new to the site and therefore the lack of previous reviews. As arranged they arrived on time (with gifts!), a day before I left so I could walk them through my cat’s routine, which they had no trouble following. They are both very friendly and personable, easy to communicate with and very accommodating, sending me videos and photos and updates as arranged. My flat was left immaculate and my cat was content, I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience. I highly recommend them and wouldn’t hesitate in having them sit again if they were willing. I wish them all the best!
