We have been using zeewoi for a few years now and have lots of experience with the App and sitter selection process. In 2021 we moved to rural northern Ontario and in the fall of 2022 we moved into our new home. We jumped back into the world of zeewoi in 2023 wondering how we would do attracting sitters to our somewhat secluded location. We need not have worried! This summer marked our third posting and first summer posting for our new home, It was a pretty short notice listing and we were not expecting a taker for that reason. With just over a week to go an application came in that had me super excited. Jennifer and Ken seemed like a perfect fit for our home. I was eager to chat with them but I was travelling and not free to connect. Jennifer and Ken were fast and accommodating communicators to set up and then reschedule our video chat as I got home later than anticipated. Once we had that chat I knew that I was right to be excited and offered them the sit right away. Ken and Jennifer bring a wide range of experience that makes them an amazing fit for rural sits. They are concise effective communicators and were very easy to work with to confirm the sit and arrange the fine details. On arrival the dogs took to them immediately. I was able to leave the next morning knowing the dogs and chickens were going to be in very good hands. I got regular updates on how the things were going and it was easy to see how happy the dogs were hanging out with Jennifer and Ken. They also jumped right into chicken care, feeding and watering our fast growing “chicks”. One of the attractions of our property is our forest trail. It can come with challenges though in adverse weather. While we were away there was a high wind event that brought down a few trees and branches. Ken and Jennifer messaged asking about saws and axes and cleared off the trail and our vegetable garden area, going well above and beyond what I would have expected anyone to do. On my return home the house was spotless. The dogs were very very content which tells us how much they enjoyed spending time with Jennifer and Ken. The chickens were also well looked after. We would be happy to have Ken and Jennifer back anytime for another sit. If you are lucky enough to have them apply to look after your home and critters, I highly recommend that you jump on the chance to have them sit for you.
