Dog Sitting in Kiewa

Anne was a really loving friend to our cats while she stayed at our house for a week. She kept us updated a lot and changed her work plans to ensure she could work from home as much as possible during her stay and keep an eye on the cats. She left the house tidy and had made up our bed with fresh sheets for our return. We would happily use Anne again.

Arvin was great. He looked after the animals well and kept the house clean. He was very friendly and easy to communicate with. I would recommend Arvin to anyone that needs a house sitter.

Jess & Matt were fantastic! Communication pre & during the sit was great. We got regular updates and our pets looked incredibly relaxed and comfortable in their care, which was so reassuring. We had an electrical issue on day 2 which wasn’t ideal, but they were so understanding and helpful, and luckily we could resolve it the same day. Roger got a little cut on his paw and they took extra care to make sure it could heal. Really 5* - would love to have them back!

Thank you so much for helping me out with my Little Lola and giving her all the attention, love and care while I was away. I hope we cross paths again as I'd be more then happy to welcome you into my home to look after Lola again :)

We were so fortunate to have met Debbie and Gary. They top notch. They took very good care of Evita and I enjoyed spending time with them also. Do not hesitate if you travel in Europe again to contact me. Safe travels and enjoy the rest of your holiday.

Nick and jane are a delightful couple and did an excellent job looking after our pets, house and garden. They gave us regular updates - I could relax knowing all at home was in their capable hands. The house was clean and tidy on our return and all animals happy and healthy. I would highly recommend them and hope to see them again x

Zeewoi… what does that mean? That means you leave your pets and house in the capable hands of someone you trust .That trust for us was developed from looking at past reviews. We chatted to Eugene and Patience before the sit. Patience was due to go back home for the imminent arrival of a grandchild, so it was agreed that Eugene would come alone. We felt comfortable with the chat and agreed the sit. Eugene arrived the day before (Saturday 2nd March) and we had a meal together. We showed him the workings of the house and the routine for the cats. We left the next morning (Sunday 3rd March) for a well earned holiday after 2 1/2 years working on our house. We had a couple of what’s app messages over the next couple of days about the cats, and I asked had he been able to get out and about a bit in the local area. He said he had been to Bordeaux the day before (Thursday 7th March) as recommended by us. We knew he was gone around 9 hours because our external security cameras picked up and recorded him leaving around 8 and returning around 5 which we picked up the next day (Friday 8th March). What we then realised was that there was someone else in the car with him on his return. Also on that day we saw both Eugene and another man leave the house on bikes. In hindsight it did seem strange to us when he arrived that there were 2 bikes on the back of his car. Also some bedding was on show in the back of his car, and knowing he was returning to friends where he came from he could have left a bike and bedding there. We immediately contacted Eugene who was totally gobsmacked that we had discovered his deceit. My question was what does “definitely/absolutely no visitors to the house” which is stated in our profile and welcome pack did he not understand! Eugene then said he is his brother in law but then said he was a mate 🤨 during the conversation who he had picked up in Bordeaux and he would only be staying a couple of days!!! We asked where he was sleeping, Eugene said in our spare bedroom as he had some spare bedding!!! Again in our details it states there is only one en-suite bedroom available to the sitter. We told him in no uncertain terms to get the person (in whatever capacity he was there for) out of our property immediately, only to be told by Eugene that’s rather extreme! Errr no, what was extreme was that he thought he could get away with it not telling us the truth! We also said he should go as well once we sorted out where the cats could go. He advised us later his ‘visitor’ had gone and would we like him to stay on till we were due to return home, he apologised for the ‘stuff up’. No what he realised was that he had been caught out! The answer was a definite no and our friends would be coming by in the morning to take the cats to the cattery (which cost us a lot of money) and collect his keys. Eugene had clearly planned this visit in spite of clear directions that no visitors were allowed. Instead of having a break a few thousand miles away, we had two days ruined whilst sorting out this mess. Eugene’s deceit and arrogance that he could get away with this was beyond belief. I guess our question is how many other people who have had these sitters have had other people brought in by him without their knowledge. It’s difficult enough handing over your home to a stranger who you have only spoken to once on video, but to have total strangers come in without permission is like being violated. Eugene and Patience are simply not Zeewoi he abused our trust.

Jo was an excellent house and pet sitter for our month long holiday. She kept us informed with regular updates of our 2 cats and we returned home to a tidy house and two very happy fur babies. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jo or use her again in the future.

Jean & Andrew were incredibly attentive to our dogs & like wise they loved them. Unfortunately due to Jean’s ill health, they left early but also left a very big mess for our family & cleaner to clean prior to house swapping guests arrival. This caused a lot of anxiety & meant our guests couldn’t arrive due to cleaning at the time they had been given. Saying this I’m sure if Jean had been well our home would have been handed over a lot clearer.

Ralene was amazing. She took great care of our pets and our home.
