Cat Sitters in Wingmead, VA

Diana

Diana was a great to have on our farm. Perhaps her nursing background gave her the tools to problem solve quickly and efficiently, but handling a 400 acre farm with animals is no easy feat. She did all of this with the utmost care and concern, while navigating the quirks of our 18th century farmhouse with a plumbing project ongoing. She administered our 4 dogs monthly medicines, kept track of the 2 cats and the barn cats, and basically enabled the pets to fall in love with her. She kept out pool and jacuzzi balanced, watered our plants in both greenhouses and around our home, and then left our home neater and cleaner than when we left. She was a gem and I would love to have her house sit anytime, I can’t recommend her highly enough!

Lindsay & Kevin

Lindsay and Kevin sat for us a second time. They were great as usual. Sent wonderful pictures, kitties were in great shape, and the house was nice and clean. Will always welcome them back!

Grayson

Grayson was a wonderful pet sitter, took my babies on nice walks around the lake. Hopefully she will be available again sometime .

Alison

Merci Alison for being one of the best Housesitter! You truly are the most wonderful, kind, caring and loving person. Our sweet Oskar was so happy when we arrived home and I don’t think he wanted you to leave! You left our home so beautiful! Looking forward to having you sit again! Big hugs, Una, Mike and Oskar.

Steven & Donna

Steve and Donna are AWESOME!! And wonderful people. If Steve and Donna apply accept, both Steve and Donna and super friendly and big hearted people. I feel it is the beginning of a good friendship and are welcome in my home anytime. Before the visit we met via video conference where I felt extremely comfortable enough to accept immediately so that we could plan the video/travel. During the stay Steve and Donna provided me with continuous updates and Narla warmed up to Steve and Donna quickly (Narla is not quick to trust). Which means they understand cats and how to take care of them. Steve and Donna left the flat in an extremely tidy state and returned to a relaxed and happy cat. Overall Steve and Donna did a fantastic job of taking care of Narla and I look forward to seeing them again in the future. Thank you Steve and Donna, I truly appreciate you taking care of Narla and my home.

Patrick

Patrick was an excellent house sitter! I was happy to leave my “kids” in his hands!

Mary

Mary ended up doing an extended sit for us, taking care of the house and occasionally taking care of Abby after the first scheduled stay. Abby warmed up to her pretty quickly and was keeping Mary company on the couch within a day or two. We are looking forward to seeing Mary again, she was great

Tabitha

I never have a shortage of good things to say about Tabitha. We were ghosted by another zeewoi member a week before we were leaving for a 2 week international trip. Tabitha stepped in with very short notice and as always, was a dream. She is reliable, communicative, and genuinely cares about making sure your babies feel safe and loved and cared for. She sends picture updates and puts any concerns of yours at ease. I always come home to a sparkling clean house and clean sheets and towels. We are grateful for her and everything she’s done.

Jaclyn

Jaclyn stayed at my home for a week to care for my senior cat Momo, who has a hyperthyroid condition and needed to be given a transdermal gel medication twice a day. Jaclyn managed this well, and I returned to find my cat very calm and happy after having been well cared for. She sent me regular pictures and videos of Momo, relaxing or enjoying attention! The house was neat and tidy as I returned. I would recommend Jaclyn as a good, kind, and competent pet sitter.

Kipp

Kipp has been, by far, the best sitter I could have ever asked for. He kept in contact and asked all the right questions prior to the sit. He reassured that Max was welcoming him into our home even when Max didn’t immediately want to go out on walks. He asked if I needed anything extra (chores) done while he was there and if I needed him to do any laundry before he left. I didn’t ask him to but he even vacuumed before he left. My home was left immaculate and Max seemed at ease when I got home. Nothing is more comforting than knowing your pup had a good time with someone else.

Carolyn

Carolyn was a good sitter and took care of both our home and our pets well.

Oguzhan

We were so pleased with Oguzhan’s care of Teddy and Jake. Oguzhan’s partner Charlotte was also on the sit, agreed to ahead of time and which we appreciated. Teddy, our friendly little pup was their snuggle buddy and warmed up to Oguzhan right away. Shy Jake isn’t as sociable but was well taken care of with his feeding and insulin shots. Communication was great with daily updates and photos. The house was left very clean, linens washed, mail and packages brought in. We were so pleased to get home to our boys knowing everything went so well. Thank you to Oguzhan & Charlotte!

Jana

I thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated having Dan and Scott take care of my 2 young cats over the Christmas holidays.  As soon as we met, it was clear to me that I was leaving my cats in good hands with two genuine animal lovers.

Dan and Scott also were very flexible with my travel schedule, which involved 6 days away, followed by one day at home, and then 3 more days away.  Their ability to accommodate was much appreciated!

I asked Dan to stay in touch while they were cat sitting, and I received regular updates from her, which I very much appreciated.   I enjoyed hearing how the cats were doing, and also how much fun it seemed like Dan and Scott were having getting to know, playing with and cuddling my cats Cleo and Jersey.

Dan and Scott also left my place very tidy.  It was a pleasure coming home to two happy, well-loved cats and a clean space! :) 

I would welcome Dan and Scott back without hesitation, and certainly would recommend them to others for animal care.

Michael

Another fantastic stay! This time Kovi only got to hang with Bekir, but she clearly enjoyed their time together—as evidenced by her nonchalant demeanor when I returned home. You see, if she ignores me upon my return, I know the sitter did a great job by paying her lots of attention and giving her all the pets. 

Bekir left the apartment spotless, just as I left it for him. He was communicative, professional, and friendly as always. We’ll be happy to have him (and hopefully Elisa) back soon! Thanks Bekir!
