Dog Sitting in Murchison

Rob and Angel did an outstanding job for us. They have taken care of our pet and home before, and we hope they will come again in the future. We completely trust them in our home and with our pet because they are extremely conscientious. We consider them friends now. Our dog seems so at home with them. They kept our plants and flowers watered so well that they looked better when we got home than when we left. They kept us up to date regarding our pet and home throughout our trip. When we returned, our home was clean and straight. We are so grateful to have them because they are thoughtful, and we really felt comfortable during our trip, knowing all is well at home. We thank them from the bottom of our hearts!!

This particular sit was cancelled, due to my change in travel plans. However, Michael and his wife were wonderful sitters previously and I definitely recommend them.

This was Geoff's second time to come help us out during the winter break. He was very reliable and communicated so well regarding the kitties and even helped ensure a little mouse who came in uninvited made it out of the house without harm. Geoff is someone I would recommend without hesitation. He guided me through the process of all things zeewoi and really alleviated any concerns about our pets while we were out of the country.

We loved having Jerry and Doris back for a second stay! They continue to give Bailey all the love and attention while we are away and it was obvious on our return that he was very well cared for while we were gone. Bailey is very comfortable with them so much so he was on Doris’s lap even after we returned. Our house was spotless and they are good communicators. We hope to have Jerry and Doris return again!

Wow! We are so glad Bill is a zeewoi. He did an amazing job of caring for our 3 cats. Thor required extensive care during the period Bill sat for us and and Bill was up for the challenge. Bill was very organized and communicated regularly with us which was a challenge because of our remote location outside of the US. Thor took quite a liking to Bill which reduced our stress level and allowed us to enjoy our trip that much more. Bill made sure to take good care of our home too and everything was in order upon our return. We highly recommend Bill and would love to have him sit again for us in the future.

Brittany and Alex did a great job sitting and taking care of Bentley and Anabelle. Brittany sent photos when I checked in and communicated issues as well as confirmed when leaving. I was glad to come back to a clean home, I would be glad to have them sit again!

They were amazing. They arrived the night before the sit started so they had a chance to meet with Daisy. They were also able to stay an extra day due to my mistake and my scheduling. Daisy appears to have been very happy while they were here and I was gone. I would have them anytime to sit for me!

Lacey is so friendly and professional. We felt very comfortable leaving our home and pets in her hands while we were gone. We got lots of pics and communication while on an extended trip and the pets clearly adored her.

Lindsey and Josh were initially responsive and communicative, making scheduling and initial video calls easy and efficient. We had two video calls; the first was with Lindsey and Josh and the second only with Lindsey. The second call included a detailed virtual tour of our home and pets, during which I gave explicit instructions on pet care. We also provided pre-recorded instructional videos for their reference. Upon our return, our home was in good condition, and our cats seemed happy and well cared for, which we truly appreciate. However, toward the end of the sit, there was an unfortunate issue with the care of our reptiles. Josh unplugged the heat lamp for one of our reptiles, believing it had shorted out and was a fire hazard, and placed it outside overnight without informing us. This was concerning because we had previously explained in the video call that the lamp, though hot (because it is a heat lamp), was functioning normally and posed no hazard. Additionally, he unplugged the extension cord providing power to our other tank leaving both our reptiles without heat for over 20 hours. While we understand the safety concern, we would have preferred immediate communication when they believed there was an issue. It was only after we noticed the lamp outside through our external security camera (which they were informed of in our listing and on the initial call) while checking if our trash had been picked up by the city after seeing our trash service was 2 days late in our community’s Facebook page and inquired that they then informed us about the situation. Fortunately, our pets were unharmed, and we confirmed that all equipment was in proper working order upon our return. Overall, while there was a miscommunication regarding the heat sources, Lindsey and Josh ensured our other pets were well looked after. Our only suggestion to them would be to ensure clear, prompt communication in case any issues arise.

We couldn't have asked for better housesitters. Frank and Genny are kind, thoughtful, and down-to-earth, with a genuine care and interest in your home, pets, and locale. They were comfortable tackling new things, from shuffling our ducks to-and-fro to mucking out the guinea pigs, and we knew right away they would handle anything thrown at them (i.e. the occasional duck mutiny). We appreciated the brief updates and photos that let us know everything was good (particularly the bigfoot-esque sighting of the one skittish cat—not something easily come by). We returned to a clean home, happy pets, thriving houseplants, and helpful notes to let us know things like we were running low on litter. If we had to find something bad to say, our dog misses them!
