Where do I start about how WONDERFUL Sarah and Daragh are...in a nutshell, if they apply to take care of your pets and home, SCOOP THEM ASAP!!! I am new to zeewoi, and had only hosted 1 other sitter in May. That sit was OK...house and dogs were fine when I returned, however, the sitter was not the best communicator and really didn't seem like she was into my dogs or the sit...honestly, I think she was in a transient situation and was in it only for the free roof over her head (never really got the "story" of where she actually lived) THIS WAS NOT THE CASE WITH SARAH AND DARAGH. Every step with this AMAZING couple was a true pleasure...they are fantastic communicators, really LOVE animals, and went above and beyond to take care of me, my dogs, car, and home. They arrived from San Diego the day before I departed and I was so blessed to spend some time with them(they took me out to dinner AND drove me to the airport at 3:00am to catch my 6:00 am flight out of SFO AND picked me up when I arrived) While I was away, they texted me daily and sent me pics and updates of the dogs and their Sausalito/SF adventures :) When I arrived home, the place was BETTER than I had left it with sweet thoughtful gifts for me and the dogs. My trip to Tulum was terrible, BUT the silver lining is that I made 2 amazing friends who have invited me to their home in San Diego and I cannot wait to see them again. I could go on and on about other wonderful details, but suffice to say, A MILLION STARS FOR DARAGH AND SARAH.

Chloe
Chloe's pups are the best! So smart, sweet, and they are such good friends to one another. I miss them all the time. Would definitely sit for them again - especially because they are so close to Golden Gate Park and the beach!

Bernadett
My sit with Szeder and Süti was wonderful! Szeder is a little bit wary at first but when she trusts you, she’s full of love, affection, and fun. I thoroughly enjoyed bonding with her on our walks and just playing in the house. Süti has such a funny personality and will probably take a little bit longer to trust you, but when she does, she’s so sweet and cuddly. Bernadett and David’s house is such a cute place to wind down and relax, in a quiet neighborhood with lots of beautiful parks surrounding the area. Alphen aan den Rijn is pretty central to the big cities, so you can easily get public transport to the major destinations you would want to visit in the Netherlands. Bernadett and David were both very welcoming and easy to contact throughout my stay. I would definitely recommend this sit and would jump at the chance to hang out with Szeder and Süti again in the future :)

Wow, I mean, you don't get a better behaved dog than sweet Penny. She is the most wonderful girl, so affectionate and full of love. She is so happy to get out on her walks, and the way she asks for permission before jumping in the river is absolutely adorable. I'm going to miss this darling pup so much! No aggression towards other dogs, no leash pulling when you maneuver the leash the right way, walks right next to you the whole time, smothers you with love when you sit on the floor with her, sleeps soundly next to the bed all night, just the perfect dog all around. Lee and Charlie were wonderful hosts as well; they were welcoming, kind, fun to chat with, and very accommodating with an arrival the day before and departure the day after my sit. Their plans changed and they actually unexpectedly had cell service almost the whole time, so they were easy to communicate with and responsive. Just two great humans with a charming home in a great Boise neighborhood. I'd be a little jealous of any future sitter that gets to sit for Lee, Charlie, and Penny!

Joyce
Joyce and Jeff are a wonderful couple who are possessed by two terrific fur babies.  They have a beautiful home, in a safe and friendly neighborhood.  Joyce's Instructions were clearly written and easy to follow.  Joyce and Jeff are  organized,  accommodating and easy to communicate with.   
Aussie and Penny love Joyce and Jeff.    Aussie was a pleasure to walk, he is intelligent, playful and loves belly rubs. Penny likes to play and Is very communicative.  You will enjoy the time you spend with them, they will both make you laugh and you will treasure those memories after you're gone.  
I highly recommend sitting for Joyce and Jeff.

It was a pleasure to be at Strawberry Cottage with Rigby, Noodle and Audrey - what a gorgeous trio.  The dogs were very straightforward , loving and all got on very well together .  Lovely walks in the village and fields nearby.  The cottage was very comfortable to stay in and I really enjoyed sitting in the pretty garden at the rear.  Looks like a great pub opposite , but I didn’t have a chance to go this time .
