Francisca and Aline were amazing sitters! They followed all the instructions to a T which included feeding Dobby his medication, giving him treats during his walk (as he is reactive towards dogs), and securing cupboard doors in the kitchen. They left the flat impeccably tidy and we couldn’t have been happier to have them dog- and house-sit for us this time!

We are Camila and Tiare! Chileans soon in Europe looking for little friends :)
Sadly my experience with Camilla and Tiare was very bad. I have never had a bad experience using the site, so I acted with a lot of trust towards the girls. It was not possible for me to personally meet the sitters beforehand because they arrived after my departure. I therefore agreed with the sitters to lock themselves in and greet the dogs. The dogs are extremely loving towards everyone, so I trusted this process would run smoothly. The communication was not good and I could not get a hold of Camilla on the day of their arrival, making me anxious if the dogs were left alone too long. A few days into the sit I receive complaints from my neighbors about extreme noise. They are aware there is sitters and tell me that since the sitters arrival the dogs have been loud, but that particular day the dogs had been barking all day. This is not normal behavior from my dogs. My dogs can bark if they hear people passing in the building, but barking all day is worrying. I therefore immediately contact Camilla and am super worried. She claims the dogs are not left alone, but bark all day in their presence. The dogs have been with sitters at least once a month the past year and this has never been the case. I therefore know that the dogs are either very mistreated for them to bark in their presence or Camilla is lying about them leaving the dogs. A condition of being able to take the sitting was that I had a mover coming to take a moving load prepared in the kitchen. This was mentioned in the listing and I also made sure to double confirm with Camilla before accepting them as sitters that they read and agreed to this, as it was very important to me that the sitter knew this was a term for agreeing to the sit. Upon the day of the mover's arriving (the day after my neighbors complaining) I planned with my mom to stop by and supervise the mover as well as check on the dog's wellbeing. All of this I of course communicated to Camilla who was aware that my mom would come. The girls did nothing to try and calm my moms worries and closed themselves alone in the bedroom before asking if they could leave for the shop. This means my mom was alone with the 3 dogs when the mover was there. The first thing the dogs did when my mom came in was to pee and poop themselves in front of her. As my mom inspected the apartment there was dry pee and poop everywhere. It was clear that Camilla and Tiare had not walked my dogs, not even before my moms arrival. There was pee and poop from several days and my mom had to clean my apartment. My mom took the dog out for a walk and my dogs had severe diarrhea from likely being fed human food by the sitters. One of the dogs had dried diarrhea all over her backside. My mom was shocked that they would not even try to clean before her arrival or try to speak to her, as the sitters we usually have, have cared so strongly about the wellbeing of my dogs. I immediately contacted the emergency line on Trustenhousesitters and was guided to ask the sitters to leave immediately, which I did. I told the girls that treating my animals this way and leaving my house in such poor and unhygienic state was unacceptable. Camilla later claimed that there was no cleaning products to clean after the dogs. This is simply not true as I have a whole cabinet of cleaning supplies in the kitchen and even hot water and soap could have cleaned the pee and poop. There is also a detailed sitter guide with all this information in. I have put a complaint for Camilla and Tiare to be removed from the platform as I feel like they do not have the health of the animals in mind. They seem very young and probably just use this platform to be able to stay for free on their trip around europe.

Due to a family emergency, I had to leave the country earlier than I had planned, and needed a sitter to fill in the gap between my departure and another sitter. Michele responded within minutes of my posting the sit, and then we spoke and confirmed the sit within hours. Her husband, Israel, was coming from Mexico to France, while she and her kids were to come from Sweden. When Michele’s travel plans changed, and she wouldn’t be able to come with her children, she assured me that Israel would still come to look after the house and dogs. To do this, for a stay of only five days, he flew to Paris, and then to the south of France, where he rented a car and drove the rest of the way to my place. As I was already traveling, the previous sitters filled him in on the various things that needed to be tended to: caring for two dogs, tending to hens, watering 90 young olive trees daily, as well as other things. The place is big and it took me 3-4 weeks when I first moved in to figure out where things were and what to do. Israel mastered everything upon his arrival, sent me daily updates with photos of my two VERY happy dogs. In addition to all the upkeep, he managed to hike with the dogs daily. I arrived home to find everything perfectly maintained, two fit and and Israel’s guest house cleaner than it was when he arrived. Immaculate. I cannot even express my gratitude for to both Michele and Israel for such a sacrifice and commitment to do that for me. It was a very difficult time, as I was dealing with the loss of both my son and my mother. I did not worry for one second while my dogs and home were in Israel’s hands. Thank you both, so, so much. You’re welcome back anytime, with the entire family, even just for a visit, maybe just a well-deserved holiday, with no dog- or house- sitting!

Natalie took great care of it dog and cats! She was clean, organized, conscientious, and communicative. Our dog had a small cut on his foot and Natalie took great care to help him heal. I would highly recommend Natalie as a house sitter and pet sitter!

Kelly was an excellent sitter for us. She communicated well, before the sit and during the sit. When we got home, the dogs and our guinea pig were happy and well. Kelly was dependable and showed up exactly on time. The house was well maintained and clean when we arrived home. We would definitely host Kelly again.
Alaina
Sharon was an excellent sitter who I knew was taking great care of my two dogs while away. She walked them, was a clean guest, and sent regular pictures and updates. I’d recommend her to anyone.
Mia
Anita was a wonderful dog sitter for Balto! They were super tentative, made sure to ask any and all questions before we went away, and they sent the best updates about Balto while we were gone. I felt so much better knowing my dog was in great hands, and I could not recommend Anita enough! Quality care, and our apartment was spotless when we returned home.

Theresa is a reliable and experienced pet sitter in addition to being great at keeping house! She was very accommodating in meeting me & the dogs in advance of our sit, which proved she is a true pet person: attentive to my dogs and eager to know how they should be cared for. She kept me posted while I was away & I returned to a tidy home & happy dogs! I highly recommend her!!

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!

To this list of attributes I would add flexible, capable, sensitive, extremely good with the dogs even if one of mine is sometimes a little ornery, and just a wonderful person all around. Because of constantly changing circumstances due to a move and coronavirus, my dogs ended up spending not two weeks but a whole month with John and they were so comfortable and happy. John helped them in so many ways and coordinated shipping them overseas, he went above and beyond the wildest stretches of what a house sitter entails and did it with a smile and a laugh and reassurances that all would be well. And indeed he was absolutely right - the dogs arrived so well cared for that all my fears of them being traumatized went out the window. John’s flexibility, and his kindness as well as his impeccable maintenance of my house in my absence all make me recommend him an absolute 10 out of 10. Thank you John for all your help this summer!!

Lori and Joe took great care of our two dogs and tow cats while we were gone. Our plans changed and we actually asked if they could come a day before we had originally planned to leave and they said no problem! They even stayed over on the night we got home so that we could meet them which was very nice! Lori was very good with communication before the house sit and also during the time they were here. She let us they had arrived safely and then sent us a short text or pictures every day of the animals. The house looked cleaner than when we left it when we got home! Lori and Joe were great house sitters and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them!
