Dog Sitting in High Flats

We were lucky enough to have Maryse come back to look after our home and pets for a second time. When she cared for our 2 cats a couple of years ago, we could not believe how we had lucked out and have been begging her to come back ever since! We have kept in touch and to our delight, she finally announced she was coming back to NB! This time around, we added our 1.5 year old pup Enzo to the mix and he took to Maryse instantly. It is evident that Maryse has a lot of experience with dogs. She jogged with him every day and even taught him to run along her bicycle with a leash! She sent hilarious daily updates and pictures, which of course we loved. When we returned the house was spotless (cleaner than when we left!) and the lawn and flowers looked like a professional landscaper had been here. 5 stars is not nearly enough. We left with complete peace of mind knowing our furry babies were in excellent hands; what more could we ask for? Merci encore une fois Maryse, on se croise les doigts que ce ne sera pas la dernière fois! Enzo, Choupie et Rouki s’ennuient déjà!

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

We recently had the pleasure of having Cori and Brody sit for our home in Kauai from May 6th to May 12th. They proved to be exceptional sitters, providing outstanding care not only for our home but also for our two beloved labs, Hadra and Wispy. Hadara, our 14-year-old lab, is experiencing some aging challenges, and Cori and Brody went above and beyond to address and correct these issues with compassion and expertise. Their attentive and proactive approach made a significant difference in Hadara's well-being, for which we are incredibly grateful. Cori and Brody arrived a bit earlier and stayed a bit later than the scheduled dates, giving us the opportunity to get to know them well. Over this time, we formed a wonderful friendship with this dynamic duo. Their reliability, kindness, and genuine love for animals make them standout sitters. We highly recommend Cori and Brody for anyone seeking dedicated, responsible, and caring house and pet sitters. They truly set the bar high and have our wholehearted endorsement!

Laura was an outstanding pet sitter. She took excellent care of my dog and provided needed medication for him daily. She understood the directions of my greyhound's routine and followed then beautifully. He really bonded with her and he slept in her room while we were away. It was so reassuring that Laura was so comfortable with him. She texted me daily to keep me abreast of his activities. She even took him out with her for dinner one night. She was so kind that she left a monogrammed collar sleeve for him. She also left a treat for my boyfriend and I! I only wish that she lived closer to us so that we could see each other on a regular basis and my sweet dog could play with her. Laura kept our house in immaculate condition and her attention to details were really appreciated. A pet owner would be lucky to have Laura sit for their pet. Patrice

Traci was a fantastic sitter! We came home to very happy dogs and a very clean house. She went above and beyond bringing treats for our dogs, keeping them snuggled while we were gone, and tidying the house before she left. Our dogs were the happiest we've seen them after a sitter in quite some time! I think they may have been disappointed we came home :-D

It’s always a good feeling to be able to go away knowing everything is safe and sound. It’s even better to return home to contented pets and a tidy house. Simon and Kansinee are AMAZING sitters, they met all of our expectations before/during the sit and when we came back home! Our dog Nova knew immediately they are true animal lovers. They hadn’t even walked through the door yet when they first arrived that she immediately fell in love with them. They are a lovely couple that one can easily see their attention and love for animals. They are responsive and trustworthy. They kept constant communication with us while we were away, that gave us piece of mind knowing our furry family were well taking care of. I highly recommend Simon and Kansinee to anyone who is looking for kind, responsible, trustworthy and loving pet/house sitters. I would ask them to take care of my furry family again, without hesitation!

Jacquie was great. She took care of all my animals just as I would and took them for walks. She is very dependable and caring which is a huge plus. She even helped me out with a dental appointment. I would recommend her in a heartbeat and she is welcome to stay here anytime she is in town. My dogs love her and would sit next to her instead of me.

Vicki is a great pet sitter - I highly recommend her! I've had numerous sitters and she's definitely amongst the best when it comes to communication, and attention to taking care of my Bootsie and my home. She sent both photos and videos, and was helpful in paying attention to what Bootsie was and wasn't eating and drinking (he's been persnickety lately) and letting me know. She works remote so it was also great knowing that Bootsie was getting more time with someone in the house than you'd normally expect. Additionally, Vicki was understanding and helpful when I had to ask her a favor to do two personal things for me, things I'd normally never ask of a sitter. I trusted her right away, in part because I know she is a pet parent herself, as well as a sitter. I returned to find my home clean and my kittykins contented. Would love to have Vicki back again if she ever wants to spend more time in Boston!

Great, honest, straightforward people. No issues at all.

This was a second sit with Bev; PeeWee adores her, so I am sure she spoiled him with lots of love & walks. Bev was tidy, self sufficient & we communicated well with each other. I can highly recommend Bev for your pet sitting needs.
