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.

Carly and her daughter Andrea were amazing sitters and house guests. They took great care of our place and left it sparkling clean. 

They were very sweet taking care of our dog and gave us frequent updates.

Karen
This is a cosy sit, close to beaches and beautiful quaint seaside towns. Karen was generous, easygoing, and communicated clearly and promptly. Caring instructions were simple and very easy to follow. Bug and Si are communicative (they'll remind you if you forget something, haha), and liked chilling wherever we were. We had a lovely time!

Margot
Margot is great. She is clear with communication and her home is lovely, comfortable and in a great area. I had many great walks in neighborhoods, nearby woods and to downtown. 
She had Abah with her so I was only watching the Gyria and Shanti. While they have different personalities, they were both happy to give and get attention.

Nick and Andrea
Nick and Andrea were wonderfully kind and helpful hosts before, during, and after our stay! They made us feel at home and comfortable in their lovely apartment, and Dubi was such a pleasure to watch and cuddle with. He’s a quiet, fun, and simple dog to care for.
We cannot explain well enough how wonderful this stay was. The communication was always quick, and Nick and Andrea were more than happy to answer any of our questions. They went above and beyond for us, and we are very grateful we got the opportunity to sit with them! They are a wonderful family who we would love to sit for in the future. If you get the chance to sit for them and Dubi, we highly recommend it!

Paul
We had a great time with Ziggy and Zephyr in Paul & Terri's lovely home. Both cats were friendly and easy to care for, with distinct personalities. Although I'd never given a pet an injection before, Paul gave me a clear demonstration and instructions, and Ziggy was a very calm patient.
Paul and Terri were thoughtful and considerate hosts, communicating well before, during and after our sit. Our written instructions were clear and complete, and Paul even texted us during a hot spell to make sure we were comfortable .
The house is in a great location with mountain views from the deck and a shady space to read, relax or have an al fresco meal in the lovely courtyard. We enjoyed early morning walks on the paved trail through the neighborhood, and took advantage of access to the recreation center/pool/spa.

Our entire house-sit experience with Paul and Terri was excellent, definitely 5-star!

Getting to take care of Oliver was such a pleasure! He's an easy going and lovely dog, with great energy and a lot of love. 

April, the host, was so considerate, accommodating and easy to communicate with and her home was comfortable and beautiful.

We feel lucky to have gotten this sit and would take care of Oliver again in a heartbeat!

Dominga is the sweetest company! I loved spending early morning taking her on walks and saying hello to the local kids heading to school. We had a lovely time cooking, watching movies, and tending to the yard. I can't wait to visit again!
