Tara was one of the best sitters I've used on this app!! We did a FaceTime while she was on another house sit and I could tell right away that she was down to earth, genuine and was a natural with dogs and cared well for the dogs she was sitting - they were completely at ease in her presence so it was a no brainer for me to pick her for my sitter. I was lucky to get to meet her before I left for my trip...she asked lots of questions which I thought was great b/c it showed how much she wanted to make sure she took great care of Molly and knew her way around my home. She sent lots of great pics of my fur baby and in every one of them I could tell Molly was happy and at ease and much to my surprise, my rescue pup who struggles to show affection was totally affection with Tara right from the beginning - which made my heart happy to see her easily bonding with Tara!! I loved also that Tara took Molly on lots of adventures with her, which is the same thing I do - Moll is my little shadow and goes with me everywhere, so I loved seeing Tara take her to lots of places with her too rather than leaving her at home alone. I returned home to a happy dog and a clean home, which is a stress free way to return home from a long week of holiday travel filled with flight delays and family stressors ha! I would absolutely welcome Tara back and def recommend her to anyone looking to for a great companion for their fur child/children!!

I have not been looking forward to writing this review for Irene and Henry. Because I was not looking forward to be reminded of the turmoil we went through while they were sitting house for us. Irene and Henry had signed up to stay in our home and with our dogs for 9,5 weeks. They knew it was winter in Germany, one of the first things we asked them, if they knew how dark and gray it is and that it can be cold. They had no problem with that. 2 weeks into the sit they said they could not walk our dogs twice a day any more, only once - since they were too tired. They asked for help with the second walk, which we then organized from abroad. Also after two weeks they said, they would have to cut the sit short and would be leaving our home 4,5 weeks early. We should start looking for a replacement. This came as such a shock to us, that at first we refused a replacement. With time and the loving support of the zeewoi staff we started looking for a replacement. Of course there was no one there on such short notice. The hours we spent dealing with finding someone new - this is nothing anyone should have to go through. In the end a friend took our dogs when Irene and Henry left our house and their sit early. Irene and Henry sent us pictures and comments about our dogs regularly. Our house was as clean as when we left it. The plants were well. We were contemplating leaving the zeewoi Community after this painful experience. Our trust was shaken. But, we decided to stay and remember the first two perfect experiences we had with our other sitters, whom we still are in touch with and feel loving and close with.

This was a new experience for us, having someone we didn't know stay in our home, making sure our beloved Standard Poodle was happy, the plants stayed watered and anything that came up would be competently dealt with. We were nervous. But from the outset, starting with our Facetime interview until we arrived home after 11 days, Greg and Janne exceeded our expectations. They were wonderful.  They made a point in their profile of the importance of communication and stayed true to their word. Our power hasn't gone out in 5 years, but as a result of a storm it did. Our pup never gets into cactus, but he did and they handled it calmly and professionally. We have plans for being gone a longer period next year and if we can get them back, we will. What a great experience for us. (Having dinner ready when we arrived home late was a nice touch.) Great house/pet sitters. Wonderful new friends.

Mimi was quite SPECTACULAR!!! There sre so many wonderful things to say, that I fear I may forget something. So let me say now: if you are lucky enough to have her apply, snatch her up! 
She is professional, thorough, on the ball, kind, caring, conscientious, communicative, and most importantly very loving with animals. I have 9 creatures to care for, and each one loved her right from rhe start. Even my timid foster dog. She has a very warm, gentle energy. She was at my house just as hurricane Ian was threatening to come thru. She was confident and helpful and handled the tropical storm perfectly.
My home was clean & neat on my return. She even left me flowers and chocolate.
She did come the day before and left the morning after and I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with her. In fact, she will be returning to St. Augustine for a sit for someone else, and we have plans to get together for some fun.
Again, I absolutely give her my highest recommendation and will seek her out for future sits!

Rhea and Josh were very respectful and helpful sitters for our home and our pup! They coordinated their trip timing to meet us before we left, as that helps our dog with the transition. They sent photos and updates while we were gone, and we came home to a happy dog and clean house. We would gladly have them back and recommend them to other hosts!

I had a pleasant sit at Bob and Monika's house. Communication was perfect. The house is very welcoming and the location is very quite, which was great for me since I was working remotely while sitting. George is a lovely dog. I brought him everywhere with me, since he is very well mannered on public transport and playful with other dogs. Everybody wanted to pet him! The only thing to know, and Bob will tell you from the beginning, is that George has severe separation anxiety. This means that you need to be experienced with dogs and of course you cannot leave him alone at any time. If you can cope with this you're going to have lovely time with George, as I did
