Mid-Century Modern Oasis COMPLETE with a Friendly Canine Companion

Introduction

Hello! My name is Paula and I am a passionate pet lover. I am part of a loving family of four, consisting of my husband Chris, our daughter, and one adorable female mixed breed rescue pup named Fiddle (6). Banjo, weighing in at 95 pounds, and Fiddle, at 65 pounds, are both affectionate and lively large breed dogs. Their love knows no bounds, and they are always eager to make new friends. If you find yourself in their home, you can expect to be greeted with wagging tails and plenty of slobbery kisses. These two pups are accustomed to daily walks, and given their high energy levels, we prefer sitters who are comfortable walking large dogs. Rest assured, with Banjo and Fiddle by your side, you'll get plenty of exercise and be rewarded with endless affection. We are lucky to call the beautiful northern Atlanta suburb of Dunwoody our home, and our work from home lifestyle enables us to shower our furry family members with all the love, care, and attention they need. However, as avid travelers, we understand the importance of ensuring our furry companions are in good hands when we are away. That's why we value the peace of mind that comes with knowing there are like-minded pet lovers at home, who can provide exceptional care and attention to Banjo and Fiddle in the comfort of their own environment.

Responsibilities

Our needs are straightforward and easy to manage. Thanks to her dog door and large fenced-in backyard, Fiddle is self-sufficient and house-trained. This means you can leave the house for extended periods without any concern. Your main responsibilities will include feeding her twice a day and ensuring she has access to fresh water, taking her on a daily walk, and bringing in the mail and package deliveries. Additionally, you'll need to close the dog door at night to prevent any late-night barking sessions with the neighborhood dogs and open it in the morning. If your stay extends beyond a week, our low-maintenance houseplants would appreciate a little hydration.

Paula and Chris warmly welcomed me into their home, making me feel completely at ease. Fiddle, their exceptionally well-behaved dog, was not only lovable but also utterly adorable. She enjoyed playing, going for walks, and relished being pampered with rubs. Their stunning, fenced yard provided Fiddle with a delightful space to frolic. Their home was not only beautiful but also provided me with a truly enjoyable experience. I wholeheartedly recommend this pet-sitting opportunity and would eagerly do it again without any hesitation in the future!

This was without a doubt one of my favorite sits I’ve done so far (out of 20!). Paula is one of the kindest, most warm humans I’ve ever met and I greatly appreciated how welcoming and accommodating she and her family were from the first time we spoke on the phone to the moment we said goodbye. Their home is gorgeous, spacious, and lets in so much beautiful natural light, while also having some lovely outdoor spaces that I really enjoyed spending time in (and a fun arcade in the basement)! Fiddle is such a sweetheart and just wanted lots of belly rubs and love, which I was so happy to give her. She is quite simple to care for, so I enjoyed most just resting on the couch on the screened-in porch with her. She obviously was missing Banjo and her family, so she deserves a sitter that can just give her some gentle loving as she needs. I would be back to housesit for this family in a heartbeat. Thank you so very much for having us!

Our stay with Banjo and Fiddle was wonderful. Upon arrival, our hosts,Paula, Chris, and Ella, warmly welcomed us into their home and provided all the pertinent details related to taking care of Banjo and Fiddle; we felt comfortable right away. Paula, Chris, and Ella were down-to-earth, exceptionally generous, and truly hospitable. During the entirety of our sit, our hosts kept in great contact with us, and encouraged us to reach out should we need anything. Their kind-hearted reception set precedence for a truly comfortable and enjoyable stay. The residence was located in a quiet, peaceful, safe neighborhood, and conveniently situated to shops, parks, and local points of interest. Inside and outside, everything was exquisitely clean and tidy. We enjoyed all the lovely amenities that out hosts had considerately provided us. It was a beautiful, very well-appointed home in a fantastic neighborhood. As for the pets--Banjo and Fiddle were easy charges. These pups were affectionate, yet independent. They loved going on long walks around the neighborhood, and snuggling near us whenever they got the chance. They were sweet friends; loyal, protective, and well-mannered. When returning to the house after running errands, Banjo and Fiddle would always be waiting at the front door for a tail-wagging welcome. They were great company. It goes without saying-- we would happily house-sit again for Paula, Chris, and Ella. Our time spent at this Dunwoody home with Fiddle and Banjo home was an absolute joy. We are very grateful to our kind hosts for sharing their space, and exhibiting such immense warmth and generosity. They have our highest recommendation and appreciation.

This was our first time using Zeewoi and we could not have had a better experience. Jess & Quinn put our minds at ease within the first few minutes of our initial call and our positive impression was galvanized when we met them in person just before our trip. They were both so kind, and I could tell instantly, how much they love caring for animals. We felt perfectly comfortable with Jess and Quinn at the helm while we were away. They took outstanding care of our two dogs and our home. They went above and beyond by sending us photos of the pups enjoying their staycation and they left our home impeccably clean and cared for. Jess and Quinn are responsible, responsive, friendly, and trustworthy. We recommend them highly and without reservation!
