Dog Sitting in Emslie

This was Michael's second sit with my cats, and I have nothing but good things to say about him. He's compassionate, tidy and really great with my cats, including some particularly timid strays. Also, Michael had to complete a handover with another sitter during this sit and with his help the whole process went very smoothly. Of course, once again, I would gladly invite him to house sit anytime! Thanks, Michael!

From the outset I was very confident that Mary & Ian were ideal sitters to cope with the nuances of my furry family of 3 ! As . We had chatted several times on Whatssap, and both had had cats as pets over many years, and a wealth of life experience living with cats!! As soon as they arrived Mary & Ian set about familiarising themselves with the apartment layout and then observing the foibles of Mau, Kitty& Toots., including the litter tray routine ( lol)….Marrying my outline Guide to the “real deal”, and I believe they, like my cats themselves , were not at all daunted at the prospect of being surrogate trusted “fur parents” for a week . All 3 furs vied for attention, and Kitty, although quite nervy,, took to sitting on Mary’s lap at every available opportunity …with Mau & Toots competing for attention… and their daily groomings too!!!, when they returned from their daily sojourn , exploring the area., they had the energy to care for and be entertained by the furs! Mary’s excellent forward planning ensured that they gave time to the furs on a morning before setting off…and again on an evening , Ensuring that the cats’ routine, especially feeding times ,was not disrupted and as all parties enjoyed waking fairly early?.? (lol) Mary & Ian had time to explore and enjoy visiting several highly recommended tourist attractions, they had researched. Ian was a gem and offered to sort out finishing laying down approx 400 kilos of Wood chip and off cuts based “soil” along the side of my drive, AND remove Garden garbage to the recycle area , down the road. So the outside was very tidy & orderly, on my return . Mary watered my pot plants on the calçada , AND Enjoyed fresh lemons & picking physalis berries( Chinese gooseberries) . All my flowering plants , young tomatoes , beetroot n onions were thriving on my return. Thank you so much for taking such good care of Kitty , Mau & Toots, my garden and my home. Everywhere was clean and tidy and in good order when I returned. The cats simply adored Mary , and the regular photo updates sent to me by Mary endorsed the fact that I had not been missed!! It was truly lovely to have you stay and look after M,K,T and get to know you a little. The “5 Star” rating for every aspect of their stay reflects Mary & Ian’s commitment to be genuine “zeewoi”, and importantly ensure that Mau, Kitty & Toots…. Were safe and cared for , during my absence…….. they simply Never missed me!! We all really enjoyed your company …Thank you sooooo very much. If you are ever blown off course in your world wide adventures and land in Portugal again….please look us up!,,,…you’ll always be Welcome.

Lise was so amazing. We coordinated our trips perfectly and she was very easy to plan with. She was especially wonderful with my dog, extremely active and loving. I arrived home to a non-anxious joyful puppy. I am so grateful that she made this trip so easy and my house was spotless too!!!

It was an absolute privilege to have Sue care for our three cats and our apartment in Prague for three weeks over the (hot) European summer. Sue felt like family the moment we met and she was so easy, pleasant and reliable to communicate with right from our first contact. She communicated her flight details with us ahead of booking, as well as any other questions she had, always ensuring all would fit seamlessly into our plans. When she arrived a day prior to our departure (we wanted a day with her for onboarding), she was immediately adopted by our daughters had taken a strong liking to Sue back when we had our first zoom interview. I also noticed that Sue’s kind and calm nature made our cats feel very comfortable and it seemed as if no real adjustment period was necessary for them. In our absence, our cats were taken care of with so much love and attention to detail. Sue went over and above any expectations - a little story here was that one of our cats completely chewed up a rather expensive cat toy (taking the hunting instinct to the next level) and Sue just went ahead and ordered the same toy online, navigating the craziness of Czech postal services, making sure there was a new version of it waiting for us when we got home. We would never have required this of her but Sue takes responsibility and ownership which is a dream for anyone looking for a sitter! With regular updates and cute pictures of the cats, we knew they were doing very well - and the same applied to our apartment which was spotless upon our return, our plants were in great health and Sue got us the most beautiful bunch of flowers and a card as a welcome back home gift. I can wholeheartedly recommend Sue as a perfect pet and home sitter. Her joyful, kind, flexible and independent nature will give you certainty that your pet(s) and home will be in very capable hands. Count yourself lucky if you get to invite Sue into your home!

Marjan and Harm were wonderful! We had easy and comfortable communication before we left and their experience was evident in their confident manner. They arrived ahead of our departure with enough time to walk around our home and understand it. While we were away, they shared updates and photos on our furry friends which reassured all of us, especially our four children. We returned to find our home spotless and well cared for. We were grateful for that after 3 weeks and grateful for the cut lawn and repairs that Harm did to some outstanding issues in our house (we did not ask). We would highly and unreservedly recommend them as sitters for your home and pets! Thank you both!!

I cannot recommend Macy highly enough as a house sitter. She recently looked after my home and my cat, Oreo, and did an absolutely fantastic job. From the moment we met, Macy was professional, trustworthy, and incredibly attentive to every detail. Oreo is usually quite shy around new people, but Macy’s warm and gentle nature quickly won him over. She kept me updated with regular photos and messages, so I always felt at ease knowing Oreo was in great hands. It was clear that she genuinely cared for him, going above and beyond to ensure he was happy and well-cared for while I was away. When I returned home, the house was spotless, and Oreo was relaxed and content. It was evident that Macy had taken great care of both my home and my beloved pet. Macy even left a gift and a card for me!! It’s such a relief to know that I can trust someone like Macy to take care of things when I’m not around. If you’re looking for a reliable, caring, and responsible house sitter, Macy is the one to choose. I will definitely be booking her services again in the future!

We were so impressed with Erin and Brandon during the first sit, we invited them back again and so incredibly grateful we did. Once again our pooch slept for days after the sit and continually looked out the window for Erin and Brandon. Outstanding pooch updates with pics and incredible home care. We can hardly wait for their return. 💕

Anne and Bryan were very dependable and devoted to giving my dogs the best care possible. Anne kept communicating with me as I was traveling and updated me on everything going on with my pups and my home. I didn't have to worry about the safety of Indy and Scout or worry that they were not receiving enough love and attention. I knew that they were. Thank you Anne and Bryan.

Did you know that amazing and perfection have 2 new synonyms? Yes, Erika Lynn and Manny are them! This was my first sit experience with zeewoi, and I was absolutely thrilled! My house was immaculate! I am embarrassed to say, I thought it was even cleaner than I left it! However, most importantly, their care for Phoebe was clearly evident!!! When I arrived home, I expected her to run to me with joy.... She didn't even care that I was home! It was like I never left, which was exactly what made the sit so perfect!!! I chose zeewoi to save Phoebe from the stress of boarding and travel, and I thought my only concern would be her anxiety over my being gone. Erika Lynn and Manny removed that worry ENTIRELY!! Phoebe is a dog who does not quickly or easily trust strangers and can be anxious in new situations. I was concerned how she would adjust to the transition of strangers in the house caring for her. Phoebe was so relaxed at my return! She was treated so well and so loved by them, that my absence was not noticed. Phoebe treated me as if I just returned from a quick trip to the store. No anxiety. No stress. They provided updates and stayed in touch. I would highly recommend them for any sit. zeewoi is blessed to have them as a part of this community. I am truly grateful for the love and care they gave to Phoebe and to my home!

Lisa was great! Thank you!
