Dog Sitting in Mahone Bay

This was our second time using this service and once again, our house sitters did not disappoint. The house was spotless, all the furry and feathered critters are happy and were well cared for and dinner and dessert were even prepared for us for this evening! ❤️ They provided almost daily updates with pictures, always keeping us in the loop. They also went above and beyond by ensuring all our garden veges that were ripe and ready for picking were cleaned and frozen,(except for the ones they used to make us homemade salsa!) 😀 With 45 acres and a lot of furry and feathered friends, they handled each task like pros as they learned the day to day routine of our little hobby farm. Having said all that, I really know they did a spectacular job because after our pooch patrol greeted us late last night with a happy welcome home, they deserted us and went back down stairs to sleep with Chris and Meg for the night! 😆 That's when you know they did something right! ;) Thanks again Chris and Megan!

Tegan and Jacob were INCREDIBLE. Less than a week before we left Ernest with them for two nights, Ernest had to have emergency surgery. Afterwards, Ernest was taking three medications, twice a day, and had to be kept trapped in our bathroom, so that he didn't move too much or jump on anything. I was very worried and considered cancelling my work trip. How could a stranger be trusted to keep an eye on him, give him his medications on time, spend time with him in a bathroom?? But Tegan and Jacob came to the RESCUE! They immediately inspired confidence so I felt like I could go without guilt. And then they delivered. They literally sat with their laptops on the bathroom floor so Ernest could sit next to them and not be lonely. They handled his multiple meds and reported twice a day with photos as to how he was doing. They kept an eye on his surgical site and reported on his urine. They left us a two-page handwritten note with all the details about his condition along with freshly baked cookies - just because. They even cleaned up the flies that were starting to accumulate in the bathroom because of the food we were leaving out for Ernest there. I am stunned by their commitment and kindness. Ernest has been much less anxious about being trapped in the bathroom, I think because he no longer associates it with isolation and loneliness. My husband and I are left to wonder whether we should have gone away longer 😅 Anyway, I can go on and on, but they were absolutely the right people to find at the right time, and we (and Ernest) feel very fortunate to have had them here. Strong strong recommend!!

Heather and Tim were fantastic. We came home to a very happy dog! We weren't worried about Ada while we were away as we got lots of updates. Also came back to a tidy flat which was lovely after a long flight. Throughout the whole process Heather and Tim were on their game. They had great questions during the interview and made us comfortable booking them so far in advance. They maintained contact coming up to the visit. We were never worried about Ada while away as we got lots of updates - when she got sick they kept us updated and her well looked after. Very friendly and easy to chat to! Thank you so much and welcome back any time!!

We can't thank Sarah enough for providing us with peace of mind and such great care of our home and pets. We would you use her again in a heartbeat! Everything went smoothly from the beginning, with great communication and quick responses. We felt our fur family and home were in very capable hands, and this contributed to us being able to relax and enjoy our family vacation. Thank you so much to Sarah and also Melinda for everything.

It was such a joy to meet Terri and Greg! They were so lovely on every level. They looked after my home and animals with loving care, and sent the best pictures of all of them out and about. I am certain that Chili is still missing them! The also were flexible to come a day early to meet me, given there would not have been time on the day of my flight. The house was sparkling clean when I returned, and my critters were happy and taken care of. Would highly recommend.

Thanks to Carolyn, our confidence was restored after a rather disappointing first experience. We confirmed the house sit with Carolyn just 3 weeks prior to our vacation as our first sitter had to cancel due to a medical emergency. During our first meeting we felt comfortable with Carolyne, she was professional, pleasant and very forth coming with the possibility she may need to cancel due to a personal situation. Given the short time till our vacation, we decided to confirm with the understanding we had a backup plan if needed. We were so lucky it all worked out, Carolyn was very independent, she had read the welcome package throughly and as such she was very prepared for the visit. She communicated with us as needed ( we didn't expect daily emails) with either questions and or updates and was quick to respond to any of our texts. We returned home late in the evening to a very clean and tidy house and a dog that was happy and well cared for. We would definitely invite Carolyn again and recommend her for house sits without hesitation.

Heather and Stephen looked after Poppy our much loved dog when we went away to spend Christmas with our family. We enjoyed their company both before we left and after we returned. They took excellent care of our dog and home and sent us regular updates. The car was fully fuelled and the fridge was stocked when we returned. We would happily have them back again.

I was thrilled Katie was available for a last minute overnight sit with Baloo. Katie was available ahead of time to go over the meds and special attention Baloo requires. She was proactive in asking questions and I felt very comfortable leaving her in charge of my big guy and my home. Katie was communicative (sending texts and pics) and I returned to a tidy home and a happy Baloo. I would definitely ask Katie to sit again and I would trust her for a longer sit as well.

Pat was a great cat sitter. She was very in tune with our cats, and showed a lot of experience in interacting with them. She was very clean and tidy and great at communicating with us. And she took great care of our plants too!

Ross was amazing in that he was always responsive and giving us weekly updates about our unreasonably shy and reclusive cat. He made our first experience with Zeewoi a very positive one and we would recommend Ross to anyone looking for professional and courteous service while you're away. Thanks Ross!
