Dog Sitting in Hawley

Tom and Lauren were terrific! We came home to a beautifully kept home and our cat was happy and content. Would have them back anytime 😊

Laura stepped in for us on short notice after another house sitter broke their agreement and cancelled a few days before our departure. She had provided excellent care before for us, and was excellent again! Our cat was incredibly happy and lets Laura rub his belly (we can't!), and she took care of the house immaculately. She also stayed in touch with us just the right amount to ease our mind without being intrusive while we were on our trip. She is a careful, problem-solving, generous, kind, and capable person and I have no fears ever in recommending her to anyone. We are so grateful to her for her care and kindness in helping us out in this case and doing such a professional job. She is a highly professional and compassionate individual.

Thuy and her mother were perfect houseguests and pet sitters. They were extremely sweet and knowledgeable. I trusted them, and  my dog was very comfortable with them. I would highly recommend them to anyone! They watered the flowers, they cleans everything they use, and after the house in a tidy orderly fashion. Our dog, Beth, clearly was well cared for. Sent me a pictures of their outings and playing ball in the yard. She cuddled with her on the couch. We were away for three nights, and Beth looked wonderful when we arrived home. She seemed calm and happy .  Thuy communicated when she would arrive and when she was leaving the house and 

This was our first experience using zeewoi, and we couldn't have asked for a better match than Shannon & Aaron. From their very first message, they put our initial skepticism completely at ease. Their communication throughout the whole process was thorough, clear, and thoughtful, keeping us updated on our kitties and the house, while allowing us the space to fully enjoy our three-week trip. It was such a relief knowing that our cats were in such caring and capable hands. Shannon & Aaron were incredibly respectful of our home, following all instructions perfectly. We returned to happy pets and a well-tended home. We couldn't recommend them more highly!

I highly recommend Priscilla! You won't find a more organized, reliable, kind, and friendly sitter. She's a gem. My shy cat took to her right away. Priscilla sent video updates every day, so I could see with my own eyes how well everything was going. And, Priscilla left my house exquisitely tidy. I'm so glad we got to know one another!

We came home to a clean house and a happy dog! Overall communication was a bit lacking but I also didn’t set proper expectations ahead of time, there was one thing missed in the welcome guide and that was to leave him in the kitchen when gone, he was not boxed in when we got home. But otherwise everything was well taken care of and she arrived and left on time.

Shelley is a dangerous and incompetent housesitter. She should never be entrusted with anything more valuable than a houseplant. Her pet care was terrible. On the 2nd day she left our 2 dogs outside in the backyard, unattended on a 83-degree hot, humid summer day with no water for 90 minutes while she left our home to go out for a walk. We saw this on our Ring camera and immediately reported this to zeewoi (full complaint currently under investigation) and let her know directly how concerning this was for us. Not only was it unsafe to leave the dogs outside while she left the home, but it also went against clear instructions that were communicated to her in person during the handover and in writing about what to do with the dogs anytime she left our home. She repeatedly had trouble following basic instructions that were communicated verbally, in writing and in text reminders. She was incapable of following basic pet care requirements. We asked that only one of our 2 dogs be walked once a day (I did not want her walking the other stronger dog, because during the handover we went on a walk together and Shelley DROPPED our dog's leash). We use Fi collars, so we know that over the course of 11 days, Shelley brought our dog for only 4 walks. We did a phone interview with Shelley and never did she inform us that our medium sized, 40 pound dogs would be too much for her to walk. Additionally, Shelley traveled with her sister who clearly is unwell (likely dementia or some sort of developmental disability) and also was afraid and nervous around dogs. She never informed us of this, and it was clearly a huge safety issue. Shelley's sister let our INDOOR cat out multiple times (at least 4 times are seen on outside cameras). Sometimes our cat was left outside for 20+ minutes without Shelley or her sister realizing. This is so, so dangerous- we are on a main street with a lot of traffic. We are lucky our cat didn't get lost or killed under her "care." Shelley and her sister left our home in a terrible, and honestly gross and unsanitary, condition. A paper bag with human feces was found in our bathroom and made the entire 2nd floor of the house stink for days. The rug in my office was covered with urine- which makes me wonder if she locked my dogs in this room for extended periods of time. Our dogs are fully house trained and have never had any potty accidents. The kitchen was filled with flies, milk had been spilled in the refrigerator and never cleaned up (a gross film had formed by the time we got home). The blender was put away in the cabinet unclean. The recycle bin was filled with dirty trash- so much so that we got a notice from the city. She carelessly used metal utensils and scratched our Le Creuset dutch oven (which will now void its lifetime guarantee). Three brand new bars of soap were taken from our home, like they were some sort of hotel amenity. Shelley went into our basement storage freezer (which she had NO need to access) and took home 3 gallon bags (about 20lbs) of frozen tomatoes I had harvested before our trip from our garden. When I addressed this with her, she claimed her sister packed them by accident (which, if true, & your sister is so unwell that she's packing things from someone's home that are NOT HERS, she should not be allowed to travel with you). However, I don't believe that's the case- 20 pounds of tomatoes aren't really something that just sneaks by your consciousness- it's A LOT of tomatoes. Shelley was offended I accused her of stealing, but that's what she did. She ultimately returned them, knowing full well she was in the wrong. I'm not sure what else she might have taken from our home, as I didn't think I needed to take an inventory of our belongings and supplies before we left. Ultimately the sit ended when our one of our dogs ate some of a marijuana plant in the backyard (she had never shown interest before and we did not know the plant- with no flowers on it- was dangerous). We do not blame Shelley for that (even though it was probably from a time the dogs were not adequately supervised in the backyard); having the plant where dogs could access was our mistake, and one that will never be made again. The part that is extremely concerning is that it took Shelley nearly 2 hours to get our dog to the emergency vet from discovering the first symptoms (she first texted me at 6:26pm that our dog was unwell and "having seizures" and did not leave for the hospital until 8:12pm). And I am certain she never called the zeewoi vet emergency line. She eventually reached out to my mother (our emergency contact while we were in Europe) and my mom told her to go to the vet ER immediately. Afterwards Shelley stated via message, "I cried, prayed & hugged her throughout the incident." So, instead of getting prompt medical care for our dog (emergency vet was clearly listed in our printed out home instructions), she prayed for her. Unhelpful, incompetent and incredibly dangerous. I'm not sure how she has previous good reviews. We were shocked by the incompetency and complete inability to understand and follow simple, clear directions- there are, sadly, many more examples I could include here. We are grateful our girls survived having her stay in our home. I would hope no one else ever has to deal with such a horror. To finish things off, disapproving of the legal marijuana plant in the backyard and probably of our rainbow flag displayed on the front of the house, Shelley texted "You need prayers. Find a Bible based church to go to and get healed. I pray for your soul."

Crystal was my first experience using zeewoi, and I couldn't be happier. She's reliable, responsible, and my dog absolutely adored her. Crystal was very thorough, asking all kinds of questions about things I forgot to put in the welcome guide, and left the house so clean you'd never know anyone stayed there. She was in contact with me throughout my trip, sending frequent updates and pics. I would (and will!) definitely welcome her back any time.

Pets seemed happy with their caregivers. House looked the same as before we departed. Friendly couple. Would invite back.

Alicia is a warm, calm, caring person who took care of our pets, one of which is a puppy just shy of a year old and still having occasional accidents. On top of that, we had 2 power outages while we were away due to severe storms (during swelteringly hot weather) and Alicia managed throughout. She used my car and was respectful and took good care of it. She was a great communicator, showed up on time, and responded to all my texts in a timely fashion. And when I requested photos, she sent them immediately. You can trust Alicia to follow instructions and take good care of your house and pets.
