Cat Sitters in Ziefen

We appreciate the good job Maya and Jono did caring for our many plants, and our dogs seemed to be well cared for. Unfortunately, Maya was sick when she and Jono arrived for the sit, and she reported being sick the entire stay. When our doorbell camera showed a car had been in the driveway all night the first night after we left and the visitor had come with a dog, we asked if they had had an overnight dog visitor. They replied yes, but it was a service dog because the friend had a disability. We explained that our dogs don't get along with other dogs and we do not want another dog staying in the house; they became defensive, and the relationship with Maya and Jono became adversarial from that point on. Maya said that she was offended that we were not sensitive to people with disabilities. She also noted that they had made great sacrifices to do the sit, and we were insufficiently grateful. After several days of arguing via text, we decided that we would have to come home from our trip early. With zeewoi' assistance, we came to a mutually agreeable return date five days earlier than planned. When we returned home, we found that Maya and Jono had left the home unsecured. The door from the garage into the house had been left unlatched, so our dogs came running out as soon as we opened the garage door. The back patio door on the lower level had also been left unlocked. There were dirty dishes in the sink, and two kitchen countertops had sticky food residue. The stovetop and control panel were covered with grease splatters. Our Welcome Guide disclosed that we had security cameras, including an indoor camera in the great room. I pointed out the indoor camera to Jono during the house orientation. (Maya did not participate in the orientation because she was sick when she arrived and went immediately to bed.) It did not seem to be an issue, and I did not know that zeewoi now has a policy that requires indoor security cameras to be disabled during sits. After a few days, Maya reported the camera to zeewoi as if she had discovered a hidden camera! This was the ninth time we used zeewoi and the only time we had a contentious relationship with the housesitters. It was also the only time we felt so uncomfortable with the housesitters that we needed to come home early.

Christopher took great care of our girls, sent out daily photos and spent quality time with them. We forgot some items and Christopher brought them down for us. Although Christopher was coming to the general area, he went beyond his obligations and helped us make the week more efficient. Christopher cleaned used linens and even replaced a container of soap, again actions that were not expected nor requested. He also watered the plants as requested. Excellent service and very genuine human being.

Brittney and Dustin were amazing, they took such great care of our dog and home. We are so lucky to have had them stay and would do it again without a doubt!

Hannah was great. The dogs loved her. She’s welcome anytime.

Harrison was great with Louie! He took care of the apartment, asked questions when needed and would would definitely have him backs

Very very loving to our Emma and left our home spotless

Laura is absolutely lovely, very friendly, organised and self sufficient. She looked after Bee (our dog) beautifully and the chickens were happy too on our return. I would highly recommend her for future sits, you would be lucky to have her.

Sarah cared for my pets and home as if it were her own. The dogs were very well taken care of. She was clean and tidy. She went above and beyond in helping my Neice out as well. Would love to have her sit again in the future.

Everything about Heather seemed great. She sent me a daily picture of my two cats each day and when I returned everything was as it should be which made me feel happy that she was my pet/house sitter.

Would welcome Ben for a future sit

The good: I came home to my plants alive, my cat alive, and the house intact The bummer: I wish Laura had been more communicative before and during the sit. I'd requested daily updates and photos during the interview process, but found myself reaching out in the evenings to prompt for updates. I'd get a short response and a single photo showing proof of life. My cat is wildly affectionate and super photogenic. When I ran an Airbnb out of the house, literal strangers sent me richer messages and tons of photos. Was she happy? Playful? Was she eating? No idea. There were odd signs indicating that the house sit instructions had been ignored, like a full cat litter bag left in the indoor recycling bin and the cat food jars and licky mats left untouched. How'd you feed my cat? It was an OK sit, but I didn't have the peace of mind I'd hoped for.

Incredibly polite, clean, tidy, respectful, friendly, and most importantly super loving and caring to our pet! We came home to our home looking better than we left it, and a happy healthy kitty. Thank you for everything! Super good vibes from start to finish 💗

Courtney and Michael were just perfect! They were friendly and easy to chat with and we felt immediately comfortable leaving our house and pets in their hands. They provided daily updates and left no trace - I'm pretty sure our house was cleaner when we got home than when we left! I'm super happy they are local as I will definitely be calling on them again.

Morgan and Jordan were a joy to communicate with, and took great care of our kitties. Our home was clean and tidy when we returned, and both Morgan and Jordan were responsive to messages and asked great questions about how to take care of our kitties and home.

We had the absolute pleasure of having Caitlin, Philip and their son Harrison house and dog sit for us in Gibraltar whilst we attended a family wedding abroad. From the first phone call we had it became clear the family had a love and understanding of animals, our dogs are not the easiest having been rescues but they listened and understood the quirks of their behaviour and were not put off accepting the situation. From the instant they met the girls it was clear they not only knew what they were doing but had a real connection with them - getting to know them quietly and with patience and the dogs settled into being firm friends before we even left for our holiday. We had wonderful photos and updates whilst we were away and returned home to a very clean and tidy house (including a much cleaner fridge than I had left it !), bedding all stripped and laundry done. We couldn’t have asked for better housesitters - so a BIG thank you from us both, I think Peggy & Bear are still missing you all 😊. Enjoy the rest of your travels.

Mary Ellen was a very understanding and flexible house and pet sitter! She spent quality time with Stevie and apparently got a lot of sewing done. She also got along well with the neighbors. I would be happy to use her again.

Laura is by far the best housesitter/petsitter we have ever had! She was great with Oliver, easily managed his meal routines, and made sure to shower him with lots of love and snuggles while we were away. He has continued to look for her after she left — not something that happens often with him! Laura left our home even cleaner than when she arrived, and did an amazing job going above and beyond in keeping our home in great shape. She even went out and bought toys for both our dogs before leaving! I would happily have Laura watch Oliver and our home again because I know they will be both in excellent hands.

Rachel was so lovely and easy to communicate with while I was away. My 2 girls were extremely well cared for.

I was so appreciative of Kylie’s care and attention to our kitty and our home. She was very thoughtful and respectful — and clearly shared lots of kindness with our pet. She was flexible when we suggested a new timeframe and communicated very well. Our favorite was that we didn’t have to miss our kitty while we were away with nice updates on what they were up to together :) We’d welcome back Kylie anytime!

Franklin and Chantal were such wonderful house and pet sitters! They sent sweet pictures to let me know all was well, took such excellent care of my 3 dogs, and left the place spotless upon departure! I'd love to have them house and pet sit again anytime and would highly recommend them to anyone else in need of care.
