Dog Sitting in Arbois

We were so happy to have Elisa stay at the house with Gus Gus and Chee Chee. Communication with Elisa was so easy and we had no troubles meeting eachother over a virtual call and then coordinating our schedules for arrival and departure days. Elisa sent me daily kitty updates as agreed and was very self sufficient during her entire stay so I was always feeling relaxed. Gus Gus was immediately attracted to Elisa when she arrived which is always a great sign. There was 1 night during my trip that I came back to stay at the apartment and Elisa was very accommodating to this interuption in her schedule. I also arrived back 1 day earlier than Elisa's departure and she was so gracious to switch our sleeping arrangements so I was back in my bed (after a long week of hiking in the mountains) and she took the couch (which I normally take when my schedule changes like that). And of course, the house was in a wonderful clean condition and everything organized exactly as how Elisa found it. We would be happy to welcome Elisa back again.

From our initial zoom call I realised that I had hit the jackpot with Olaug. She had applied to my post because of her love of labradors and dogs in general. Olaug and I had a great WhatsApp conversation going for a couple of months in the run up to the sit. She asked all the right questions which filled me with confidence. Olaug was so easy to deal with and booked her flights to fit in with our travel plans. When she arrived at the house she came prepared with dog treats so for Diesel it was love at first sight. It was immediately apparent that she had a lot of experience with dogs and Diesel adored her. He has been missing her since she left! Throughout the sit Olaug sent lovely messages, photos and videos with updates about what they had been up to. Unfortunately the weather was dreadful during the sit, but she still took Diesel on long walks every day. When we returned the house was immaculate. She had really looked after Diesel and my house. I really hope that Olaug wants to visit London again as both Diesel and I would love for her to come and sit again - we both wish she lived closer.

Ana and Pedro are a lovely couple. With lots of experience in housesitting, I trusted them completely to take care of things while I was away. They looked after Leo and the house very well and kept me updated on how everything was going. Pedro mowed the lawn and even collected me from the station when I returned. I highly recommend them and wish them all the best with their plans for the future.

Nadia was absolutely perfect! She managed in no time to get Maggie's trust. They "were a pair" right on day one. Nadia is totally trustworthy, discrete, extremely well organized and tidy! The house was impeccable at my return and Maggie was well fed and happy. Nadia gave me regular updates with pictures which helped me to enjoy my vacation. Nadia was very helpful and flexible as I had a change in dates. She also agreed to help with a neighbour's cat. Nadia went way out of her way and I am so ever thankful that zeewoi sent her my way. I can highly recommend her! She can be trusted blindly!

Mandy is a very dynamic young lady who is very self sufficient and quick in grasping what needs to be done. She knows Geneva well. I returned to happy cared for cats. I have 5 cats and the litter boxes are one of the important tasks, they must be kept extremely clean. The only concern I had was this. They would have needed to cleaned much more frequently and better (especially in the mornings and evening). Thank goodness the cats continued ro use them! Thanks Mandy.

Thank you Kylie and Jean-Phillipe for caring for our home and Layla for a long weekend. Communication prior to the sit was excellent and we really enjoyed meeting them and had a great evening together before we left for our weekend away. Thank you so much for the delicious wine from your local vineyard that you brought us! Kylie and JP left the house clean and tidy and the bed linen and towels washed.

This was our first experience of using zeewoi and we hit the jackpot first time! Noelle is kind, open-hearted and easy-going, in fact everything we could have wished for. She communicated very well, both before and during the house-sit, with regular (but not too many) updates and videos so we knew they were all getting on well and our cats were happy. Noelle even managed to win over our shy male cat so she definitely has a natural affinity with felines. The house and garden were well looked after and, as Noelle stayed another night after our return, she kindly made us a delicious supper. We feel very fortunate to have met her and had such a positive first experience with zeewoi. We have no hesitation in recommending Noelle highly and would certainly ask her to sit for us in the future if our plans coincide.

Marie came to look after Bruno and I couldn’t have asked for anything more from her. She was very communicative, kind and trustworthy and I could tell that Bruno was very happy, loved and calm with her. Although I really missed Bruno I could rest assured knowing her was being well looked after. Marie left the apartment clean and fresh and I hope she felt at home here. I would highly recommend Marie to anyone looking for an experienced, friendly and organised sitter and I would love to welcome Marie back in the future!

Melanie took care of Lilli and Lulu, for a bit more than two weeks. While it was clear that Lilli and Lulu liked her and vice-versa, there were a few areas where our expectations weren’t fully met. She managed the dogs with more flexibility than I had anticipated, which resulted in them sometimes spending longer periods alone at home than I was comfortable with. Although our communication during this time wasn't as smooth as I had hoped, I appreciate her effort adjusting the path after feedbacks. I believe this experience was a good lesson learned in following guidelines, securing communication and ensuring the dogs receive the attention they are used

All went well. Thank you
