Dog Sitting in Maple Wood

Lauren

Kathleen was a fantastic sitter and Olive and Noodle miss her already.  She was great about sending pictures and updates - never had to ask anything, she always beat us to it.  She didn't assume anything that wasn't clearly stated - always asked us beforehand.  She was great with our dogs - they immediately bonded with her and didn't want to leave her side.  We really appreciated being able to go away and not worry about our pets' welfare, we knew immediately they were being so well taken care of.  We hope to host Kathleen again soon!!

Janet and Bob were great to our pups and our home! They were our first sitters so we weren’t really sure what we were getting into, but they made it an awesome experience! 

They are coming back to stay with our dogs again in August. Definitely trust them with your fur babies!! 🐾🐶

If we could give 10 out of 5 stars for Candace, Brian, and Chris, we would!  They were amazing house and dog sitters for Brown Dog and Scout. They were so accommodating with our timeline and had read our welcome guide to a tee!  It was so reassuring being gone for 2 weeks and knowing our pups were in amazing hands. They sent us daily updates and pictures and it was clear the dogs were so well cared for!  They left the house very clean and even had all of our bedding and towels washed for us when we arrived home. Would absolutely recommend them for a sit and would love to have them back again any time!

Brian is awesome - he is simply the best pet sitter and house sitter that we have EVER had and we've had a bunch. He is experienced, thoughtful, respectful, loving, appreciative, helpful, enthusiastic...the list just goes on. Started with our initial call - it was our first sit with zeewoi and he immediately instilled confidence in us in how he talked about his experience and how he saw his role.  In the pre-planning, he had great questions for us and helped us to get organized.  He was thorough through the instructions, came in a day early to make sure he understood everything about our house and our dog and then followed through on everything.  He even drove us to the airport and picked us up on the return.  Along the way we were gone, he sent us pictures and kept us updated - always making us feel good about being away and knowing Jorge and the house were in great hands. We had workers coming to fix a fence while gone and some other activity at the house - he was helpful, available, and willing to do whatever was needed to be done.  He was self-sufficient and when it came time to leave, he had everything organized and cleaned at the house - he left it in better condition than he received it.  We would love to have Brian sit whenever we are away (and in fact will invite him and hope he says yes!) - any one would be lucky to have Brian as their house and pet sitter.

Care and compassion for my dogs was at the top of the list of John's attributes. He was the first sitter I have used through zeewoi that was close enough to come meet the dogs before the sit. John not only came for an initial meet and greet, but he made time to meet the pups a second time prior to my departure to better familiarize himself with both the dogs and my home. Having put the fear of God in him about Penny's reactivity (I might have been a bit over the top, but better more attentive than less!), he was cautious with her in the beginning. Later in the sit, they trooped off to the beach on multiple occasions - all good! My 10-yr-old was on some meds for a serious battle with arthritis, and John managed Cooper's needs beautifully. John even made a call and a trip to the vet to re-up Coop's prescription when it was clear he needed to continue the protocol. I received daily updates by  text, including photos and video; communication is hugely important to me. I feel blessed to have had John care for my fur-babies.

Amara was a WONDERFUL sitter for our home and our dogs for the weekend. We were so comfortable with her being in our home, and she provided regular updates and photos of our babies. The house was clean upon arrival home - we would have no hesitation recommending her to others and hope she would consider coming back to spend more time with our dogs!

Jamie was a lifesaver!  Our confirmed sitter canceled just greater than 2 weeks out from our trip, and after just a short chat I could tell that she was ideal for our home and dogs.  When we had a Covid exposure just before leaving for our trip Jamie didn't miss a beat.  We did a hand-off of the dogs and home outdoors to keep her safe.  We unfortunately had another exposure just before returning home, so were bummed that we couldn't spend some time with Jamie before she left us.
     Jamie is dependable, organized, and flexible with scheduling.  She is an excellent communicator and sent us the cutest pictures of our dogs.  We knew Teddy and Bella were in very capable hands while we were away. Jamie left our house very clean and with all the linens washed.  She even left a plant and thank you card, so thoughtful!  We would love to have Jamie back at any time to sit for us.  I give her the highest recommendation!

Jim sat for my extremely shy rescue pup and new kitten for two weeks -- my pup struggles with new people, and is very fearful of men in particular. And yet, Jim was more successful with her than any sitter I've ever had: I can't recommend him highly enough. He has wonderful patience, a calm energy, and is a great communicator. He consistently updated me with photos and videos of my sweet girls enjoying the world with him, taking my dog on hikes and adventures to her favorite streams. He went above and beyond both for her (in meeting her needs and taking the time to get to know her personality), and also in caring for my home. I returned to such a cozy environment, a repaired wood stove, an organized wood pile and an at-peace dog and cat. Choosing Jim as a sitter is ensuring that your pets and home are getting the best of care, and his actions exemplify his kindness, generosity and thought taken in consideration of others. I hope to have him return many times in the future; the experience was a privilege both for myself and my pets.

Melissa and Chris are amazing.  We are very picky about our dog sitters, and we chose them because they have been doing this for a long time and track your wants and needs carefully and follow through with utmost care and integrity.   They offered to come the day before we left to meet Winnie so that we could rest in that she would trust them and connect to them.  Honestly, we would hire them as our only dog sitter all of the time if we could.  I cannot thank them enough and say enough good things about them.  They also took very good care of our house and  plants.

As ever, Charlie was the perfect dog/house sitter - took loving care of our dog and looked after the house and garden as if they were her own; all returned in immaculate conditon!
