Crystal is a really lovely person with a warm personality and kind, honest heart. We very much enjoyed getting to know her. We were pleased that our two Burmese cats seemed happy in her care. The house was very tidy on our return and we were grateful for some delicious quiche left in the fridge when we got home late at night. She also laundered the bedsheets and gave us a beautiful plant/card which was very kind. We hesitate to share that there were a few challenges, given how lovely Crystal is, but feel that zeewoi only works if there is a degree of transparency so that people can decide whether a sitter is right for their circumstances. Our two house cats are pretty straightforward and basically just need some companionship and food three times a day. We had clearly said in the welcome guide and during the demo food preparation before we left that one of the cats needed medicine in her morning feed. We showed Crystal where this was stored in the fridge. She took a photo of the jar and amount of powder needed. However, Crystal forgot to add this medication to the cat's food until half way through our holiday which did cause us some worry. A picture in a glass frame was knocked off the wall whilst we were away (no big issue as these things can happen) but, instead of vacuuming up afterwards, Crystal left a towel to cover the remaining tiny shards of glass which couldn’t be picked up by hand. This wasn’t ideal as these could have easily ended up in the cats’ paws (...one of their favourite past times is exploring under covers, sheets, etc). Crystal did offer to reimburse us for the re-framing of the picture which we didn’t expect or take up but her offer was appreciated. However, to our surprise, the morning after we arrived home, we found the picture (which is quite precious to us) had been put outside on the patio. Thank goodness there had been no rain. We really wish Crystal the best for the future. We are pleased to have crossed paths with her and, most of all, will remember her warmth and kindness. We want to note that Crystal's other reviews seem to reflect smooth experiences so perhaps these hiccups were just a one off occurrence.

Maya
The parent! Maya is freaking awesome! She's so easy going, and welcoming that you are going to love this house sit! Her home is so nice, and the energy feels so good. I had my best sleeps there haha

The animals: OMG Romeo is a true love bug! He is the sweetest little guy that gives so much love. Mary and Lydia do their own thing but still want to be loved, in their own way.

Veronica
Veronica welcomed us very warmly into her beautiful country home for a pre-Sit visit a few days before as our respective travel schedules meant we would not meet on the day. We went through our duties and met all the delightful animals! Minnie and Snoopy the dogs are both totally adorable and a real double act! They followed us around everywhere and are both so sweet and affectionate. Despite both being 13 they are full of energy, especially Minnie, who scampers around on the walks like a young pup! Ziggy the cat is also super sweet and affectionate and loved to come and visit us in bed or for a cuddle on the sofa.
The ponies and chickens have a simple routine and are easy to care for. 
Veronicas home is very comfortable, tastefully decorated and spacious and we had a super cosy room with ensuite. The large kitchen/dining room/living room became our hang out space of choice- a warm and cosy place especially with the woodburner on during the cold days of our stay.
Communication with Veronica was excellent at all times. 
This was a really enjoyable sit and we'd be delighted to return for a future sit- especially in the summer when we can enjoy the pool & beautiful garden too!
We highly recommend this sit!

Karin
Karin, Giles and crew were great! Karin and Giles were very kind and accommodating and their fur kids were so very sweet. Great neighborhood to walk Teacup, and she really enjoyed the walks too. The kitties warmed up quickly and had great personalities. Lily is a sweet ole gal and enjoyed a daily sunbathe session in the back yard. The home was clean and comfortable and there were plenty of kitchen items that made cooking at home easy. I would definitely sit here again.

Rachel
Rachel is kindness personified. She let me sleep in the apartment the night before and after the housesit and even let me use her address for mail. She is incredibly helpful and communicative. We had such a nice chat about all our travels.
Sonar was incredibly sweet and I will miss him. He loved cuddling with me and I loved it so much. It's really cute how much he adores his food and how excited he gets when it's feeding time. He knows the feeding times exactly and is incredibly clever at the feeding games. I would love to look after him again.
I felt very comfortable in the apartment and the location close to the beach and stores is perfect.

What a wonderful sit! Although only a short amount of time, I felt very welcomed and comfortable in the house. 

Both cats were wonderful and I had no problems, but ‘Little’ definitely stole the show and won over my heart. She did love a cuddle! 

I already have another sit booked and am very much looking forward to it. :)

Julie
Monty is such an easy cat to look after. He has a real cat personality but at the same time very friendly and will let you know when he’s hungry. Julie and Edwina were very welcoming. Their home is comfortable and it’s easy to get around the attractions especially Bannockburn Battleground at the back of the property. I can highly recommend this sit to anyone with Stirling being a great place to visit and only 15 minutes away from the Kelpies and less than an hour to Edinburgh, Glasgow and Perth.
