Cat Sitting in Embrun

Julia and Andrei were wonderful! They were here with our St. Bernard and our cat for two weeks while we were abroad. The communication with them leading up to their stay was very clear and appreciated. They sent daily updates and photos of our pets enjoying their company. We came back to a spotless house and some goodies in the fridge. It was great being able to go on a family trip with peace of mind, knowing our pets and house were being cared for by such reliable sitters. We will definitely call on them next time we go on a trip.

Heather was amazing!! She also left my house exactly the way I left it. Chilli was sad to see her leave. She kept me up to date everyday while I was away. It was such a good experience

Helen was a great sitter! She came on short notice and because we got rained out of our camping trip, offered that we could come home early (which we really appreciate!) It was her first time doing subcutaneous injections for our cat Kevin’s insulin, and she was meticulous about making sure she did it right. She called to make sure we got home and offered to come back if we got stuck. Helen was very accommodating, clean and attentive and I would have her again in a second!

An opportunity arose for a once in a lifetime trip, so it was a great relief that Aaron was available to house sit during those two weeks. We have had Aaron sit for us many times now and that fact alone says how much we trust him and how well he has taken care of our house and our pets. Both of the last two sits have had some issues that Aaron has gone out of his way to solve plus I was delayed a day returning to Ottawa and Aaron assured me, from the beginning of my epic trek home, that he would stay that extra day if needed. He has communicated issues extremely well and uses common sense in his initiative to solve any problems. Aaron had both of our cats this time (One travels with my wife when she is working in the U. S.), and it is obvious that they are extremely comfortable around him. I think they get more cuddle time with him than they do with me. Honestly, Aaron has been the perfect sitter for us and I am sure you will say the same if he sits for you.

It was such a delight having Nicole and Tim "substitute" for us. They are warm, caring, fun, wonderful people who sent adorable photos and took excellent care of our pets. Buddy and Artemis adored them. They got more loving from our cat than we do! How is this for above and beyond: Nicole and Tim even took care of Sammy, the dog next door who is Buddy's best friend, for a few nights when Sammy's mommy had to fly to Oahu for a few days. They took the dog(s) to dog park every day, enjoyed hanging out with our dog park friends, and even spent time and enjoyed meals with our neighbors!! I am absolutely certain that Buddy and Artemis had a fantastic time with Nicole and Tim. And they took great care of our home and cars as well. Mahalo nui, Nicole and Tim. Aloha nui me ke pumehana.

Munira and her son, Mohammed, are dream housesitters. Munira was great about sending updates about my sweet elderly little cat. My cat hurt her paw jumping down from something and Munira informed me immediately, sent videos, and monitored her recovery. Munira even brought her food and water up to the room where she was staying when she noticed that my cat hadn't been down to eat. And you couldn't even tell that she and Mohammed had stayed in my house. Everything was as I left it - clean, tidy, and everything in its place. She and Mohammed were a delight and I would have them back again in a heartbeat. I cannot recommend them enough.

English below Quelle chance d'avoir eu Carole et Gaétan comme gardiens! Carole et Gaétan ont tout deux fait carrière en Santé et au premier abord, vous percevez leur altruisme... leur besoin de répondre à vos besoins et de vous permettre de partir en vacances en toute quiétude. Notre première rencontre s'est faite via Facetime. L'excellente communication et les atomes crochus étant au rendez-vous, nous avons du coup convenu qu'ils seraient les gardiens de notre chat Charlie et de notre maison. À notre demande, Carole et Gaétan sont arrivés en après-midi le jour précédant notre départ pour faciliter la transition pour notre cher Charlie, nous permettre de passer à travers le guide de bienvenue et se connaître autour d'un repas. Leur arrivée a été très chaleureuse et spontanée comme si on se connaissait depuis longtemps. Charlie qui est plutôt timide avec de nouveaux venus s'est tout de suite approché de Carole pour se laisser caresser puis, en relevant la tête, Carole, infirmière retraitée, a alors vu la jeune cicatrice chirurgicale sur le genou de mon conjoint Robert!! Ce fut une rechute instantanée pour elle: Spontanément, elle a donné de précieux conseils médicaux à Robert pour protéger sa cicatrice durant nos vacances à la mer. Quelle générosité et quelle chance pour nous! Pour ce qui est de la soirée, elle fut des plus agréables. Robert et Gaétan étaient tellement centrés sur leur conversation que le poulet est resté un peu trop longtemps sur le BBQ mais ce n'est pas grave car ensuite, durant le repas, nous avons réglé les problèmes du monde entier. Durant notre escapade, Carole a pris soin de communiquer avec nous quotidiennement en nous envoyant des petits mots et photos et elle nous a avisés de l'heure de leur départ qui s'est fait quelques heures avant notre retour tel que nous l'avions convenu. À notre arrivée, nous avons retrouvé notre chat en pleine santé et notre maison immaculée. De plus, les serviettes et draps avaient été lavés et les lits faits. À l"extérieur, les fleurs resplendissaient. Carole et Gaétan, ce fut un immense plaisir de vous rencontrer et nous espérons avoir le bonheur de vous revoir. Merci beaucoup à vous deux et bons voyages et sittings! Et pour vous, membres de zeewoi qui cherchez des gardiens pour vos animaux bien-aimés et votre chez-soi, ne laissez pas passer leur candidature. Vous serez assurément comblés et conquis par leurs personnalités. Lise, Robert et Charlie _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ We were so lucky to have Carole and Gaétan as sitters! Carole and Gaétan both had careers in Health and at first glance, you perceive their altruism... their need to meet your needs and allow you to go on vacation in complete peace of mind. Our first meeting was via Facetime. The excellent communication and the chemistry being there, we at once agreed that they would be the sitters of our cat Charlie and our house. At our request, Carole and Gaétan arrived in the afternoon the day before our departure to facilitate the transition for our dear Charlie, allow us to go through the welcome guide and get to know each other over a meal. Their arrival was very warm and spontaneous as if we had known each other for a long time. Charlie, who is rather shy around newcomers immediately approached Carole to let himself be petted and then, when she raised her head, Carole, a retired nurse, saw the young surgical scar on my partner Robert's knee!! It was an instant relapse for her: Spontaneously, she gave valuable medical advice to Robert to protect his scar during our seaside vacation. How generous and how lucky for us! As for the evening, it was most pleasant. Robert and Gaétan were so focused on their conversation that the chicken stayed a little too long on the BBQ but that didn't matter because during the meal, we solved the whole world's problems. During our getaway, Carole took care to communicate with us daily by sending us little notes and photos and she informed us of the time of their departure which was a few hours before our return as we had agreed. . When we arrived, we found our cat in great health and our house immaculate. In addition, the towels and sheets had been washed and the beds made. Outside, the flowers were resplendent. Carole and Gaétan, it was a great pleasure to meet you and we hope to have the pleasure of seeing you again. Thank you both very much and good travels and sittings! And for you, members of zeewoi who are looking for sitters for your beloved pets and house don't let their application pass you by. You will certainly be delighted and won over by their personalities. Lise, Robert and Charlie

Mary is a fantastic Zeewoi. Great communicator, looked after our cat and garden like they were her own. Always like having Mary stay chez nous.

If Jessie writes an application to housesit for you, your search is over! She is amazing. This is the second time she comes to take care of our two beloved cats and house and the minute she steps in, I am on vacation. Jessie is warm, present and loving but also attentive to details. Coming back from vacation, the cats are calm and happy and the house looks great. I am grateful beyond words! Thank you Jessie and please come back!

Anik was great - super flexible and responsible. She kept me updated, while I was away, and gave my kitties lots of love.
