Cat Sitting in Old Marco Junction

We were relaxed knowing Philippe was watching the house and cats while we were traveling several months. He sent pictures every day and kept us fully informed. We came home to happy kitties and a perfect home!

This is the third or fourth sit w Eden. She is great and knows my place well now. And she gets Miles. She will be coming back again in about a month as I am on a long trip so not around to welcome the next guest. I know i can trust Eden to leave the place in tip top shape. She not only took care of Miles but handled the watering of my plants and changing of the litter.

My husband and I are so grateful to have met Cristina and to have had her take care of our girls while we were away. From the initial FaceTime call, I could tell Cristina was an animal lover with a very sweet and caring disposition, and I was not wrong at all! Our girls (a cat and a dog) loved her right away! Cristina made sure to send us daily photos and updates and we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that the girls were in great hands :) Cristina was a very tidy and clean houseguest and left the house spotless. We would definitely welcome an opportunity to have her stay in our home and with our girls again! I know the girls missed her the minute she said goodbye!

Freddie did an incredible job with our cat and our house for an extended period of time! She pampered and loved our cat and left the house immaculate. She went out of her way to help us out, and was a godsend in a changing and uncertain situation. Very responsible and conscientious, excellent communication. Big thanks for everything, Freddie!

Lexi did a great job taking care of our 2 high energy labs. She communicated with us, came by to meet the dogs before the sit & they took to her right away. Our house was left clean & tidy. Would love to have her sit for us again!

You should absolutely consider Barb and Don for your sitting needs. They were very organized, communicated proactively, and extremely tidy. Our house was cleaner after they had stayed! And of course, you could tell they are dog people and took great care of our pet. They have my highest possible recommendation!

Saundra and Andres were wonderful pet sitters to our two dogs. I could tell as soon as I picked them up at the airport that they were going to be a good fit because Saundra had downloaded pictures of our dogs to her phone! As soon as they arrived, the dogs immediately took to them and they treated the dogs like they had known them forever. Saundra came well prepared with questions from our Pet Sitters Guide and Andres asked about caring for our home as well as the dogs. While we were gone for two weeks, Saundra and Andres took our dogs boating and island hopping nearly every day, sometime twice a day! I know our dogs were loved, spoiled, and well-treated. We came home to a clean home, fresh flowers, a thank you card, doggie treats, the lawn mown, and a clean boat and car. We're so grateful for sitters like Saundra and Andres who deliver on their promise to treat our home and our pets as if they were their own. I would love for them to come back another time! Thanks, Saundra and Andres!

Veronique (Ronnie) is a great housesitter! She took a great interest in my dog Tori and helped treat some itchy skin issues in addition to giving her lots of attention and love! Tori appeared to have been perfectly content! Ronnie was great at keeping me updated daily with texts and photos which is my preference when I travel. My home was clean, sheets washed and dried and bathroom spotless! I would choose Ronnie to stay in my home again if she is available!

Leslie is amazing! She stayed at my home for over a week and took wonderful care of Penny and my house. I felt comfortable the whole time I was away that Penny was in good hands and Leslie sent me photos and updates so I knew Penny was happy! I highly recommend Leslie and welcome her back to my home anytime. :)

David and I clicked on the Zoom interview, but it was not a great fit, ultimately. The pets are fine, so the most important thing is that. And the house is fine. I guess I've been spoiled by great sitters who left our house impeccably clean and communicated daily with pictures and information that clearly indicated they knew our pets well and were taking really good care of them and our house. This seems to be the zeewoi standard. But I had to contact David every time I wanted information. He never contacted us once, although he did respond within the hour when I contacted him. But not a picture. Nothing. He even jokingly complained that our cat wasn't being warm enough to him and he considered himself a cat whisperer and was a little peeved. I laughed along and shrugged it off because he was such a nice guy. But I think he found my detailed instructions too informative? Over the 25 years I've had pet sitters some have joked about my very thorough instructions, but everyone, until David, told me they very much appreciated too much information rather than not enough. It doesn't appear he paid them much attention. He didn't recycle. He didn't take in our mail, several days worth was left sitting in our mailbox, which he explained was because we hadn't explicitly asked him to bring it in. The same was true about sending pics of the animals or communication. If I'd asked he would have, but I didn't, so he didn't. The same went for a package that was delivered the day we came home. It arrived at noon, 5 hours before he left our house, but he just left it outside. He said he figured it "would be fine" out there until we got home. He also left earlier than we'd agreed to over text. It's clear if you read the instructions what time the dogs eat dinner and I told him to please stay until dinner, walk them as instructed and then feed them before he left. He left an hour and a half earlier than that to meet friends at the beach. He also didn't follow the instructions for feeding one of our cats, about not leaving her food out because the dogs would eat it before she got a chance to. He did this at least twice that I know of. There was a coating of sand in the shower. The bed was made-ish. He didn't bother with the wash cloth on the bathroom counter I asked him to use to wipe it down so the poured cement doesn't stain. It was untouched, perfectly folded and the post-it note was still stuck to it . The floor was not swept, lots of fur tumbleweeds, although I'd left the vacuum out. And when I challenged him his response was that, "he was not a professional." Except that this site is based on a pay-based membership and at least I expect professional behavior from the sitters who I entrust with my pets and my house. He was taken aback by my texts challenging him when we got home and had discovered all the above. He said he's received nothing but good reviews before and I have no reason not to believe him. He also said he "probably won't use the app again." He said he was "feeling a little attacked" by my observations, even explaining that he'd been asked back by other sitters, and one even paid him some $, though he hadn't asked for it and never would. I've never ever had anything but great relationships with the sitters I've had in my home, through this site or before over the years. Some were long-term sitters for over a decade. I liked David very much as a person over the phone. I have to say we were not a good match once I came home and saw the lack of attention to our instructions, and that he hadn't cleaned up after himself thoroughly before leaving. Not all fits are good ones. This one wasn't for me., though I wish David the best, as he did me.
