Experienced House Sitters: Reliable Care for Your Home & Pets
Megan was fantastic! She and Abby gave us updates with pictures. I knew Humphrey and Peanut were in excellent hands. I hate to give them fantastic review for fear they will get booked up! You will be fortunate to have them sit in your home. House was cleaner than we had left it. Wonderful, wonderful sitters!!

Cat & Dog Lover, Adventurer, Homebody Looking to Snuggle.
Becky is simply the best! This was her second time at our home, Egret Cove. This sit, Becky took care of two of our dogs, Hannah and Trixie and our two cats, Cali and Baby Kitty. All of them love Becky and are so relaxed around her. It had been a year since her first sit, but all four were happy to be left in her care. Baby Kitty and Becky have a special bond and she loves Becky so much. From the time that Becky got to our Home until the time that she left, all of our furry family members were happy and content. Becky left the house with everything clean and in its place. Becky is not only a delight for the animals to visit with, but us too. With her delightful personality and easy going outlook we so enjoyed our visit with Becky prior to leaving for two weeks. Becky sent us wonderful photos of the fur family in their daily routines as well as written updates, which always are so reassuring to those that are away from their furry family members. Although we met on zeewoi only last year, Becky is not only a pet sitter for us but a wonderful friend. She will always have a special place in our hearts and is welcome back to sit or visit! 5 stars just seems much too small for a sitter like Becky, so we are personally giving her 10 stars and 100 hearts for being the best sitter and such a lovely person. Until next time Becky!

Pet lovers ready to love your pet!
Susie and Scott were great petsitters! They have a clear love for dogs and kept them happy with attention and exercise. They tended to our garden and left our house tidy and clean. Susie and Scott were responsive and acted swiftly to correct a miscommunication at the start of the sit. We would definitely recommend them!

Experienced petsitting couple from western NC
We were so happy that Debra & Stewart applied for this 18 day long sit. They came early enough that we could spend some time showing them around and getting them acquainted with the house and kitties. Debra & Stewart were able to set up their business and work from our home so they were virtually constant companions for our fur babies, who looked happy and healthy when we returned! We had a significant storm while we were gone and lost power for several hours and Debra & Stewart took it in stride. They even washed the sheets and remade the bed before they left!

Must Love Dogs
We really enjoyed having Marcie stay with our dog Millie for 8 days while we were out of town. Communicating with Marcie was easy. She kept us up informed via text and pictures the whole time. I think Millie had a very nice time and had lots of walks and cuddles. We came home to a clean house with the bed and bath linens already washed and neatly folded. Thanks Marcie!

Katherine did a great job! She arrived the prior night on time to ensure everything was ready and to hear any new information she needed to be aware of. She is very attentive, and the pets loved her. She sent me updates, to include photos of the pets. She also cleaned the bed sheets and left the house clean. Thanks Katherine!

Experienced, reliable sitter who loves the comfort of home & adventure of travel
Jobie and Aby area as fun couple who did a great job from start to end. As veteran sitters, they exhibited full confidence in and understanding of everything I wanted and asked. They immediately developed a good relationship with my pets, and it was an immediate comfort to know they truly cared about the animals. They also took good care of the house, and left it clean and tidy! Recommended!
Carole and Ron are excellent cat-sitters! They took very good care of my cat Lola and of my house. I came home to a happy cat and a very clean and tidy house. They sent me pictures of Lola and kept me updated, so that I had a very relaxed holiday. I very highly recommend them as cat- sitters and I would be thrilled if they would come back to sit for Lola again. Thank you so much!
There are not enough words in the English language to express my deepest gratitude to Teresa and all the amazing love and care she showed my sweet cat Milo. From the moment she met Milo, I knew there was going to be a very special bond. He instantly relaxed when he first met and already looked so happy and at peace with her. The bond between the two of them only seemed to get stronger and stronger with every day that I was away. This two-week trip was so important for me as it was the first real "vacation" I had taken in a few years. I was in desperate need of a mental and physical break and knew that in order to have a true "time off', I needed to feel completely at peace with Milo being well-taken care of. Well my prayers were answered as Teresa was the "cat whisperer" I was hoping for. I could not have asked for a better, more compassionate, self-reliant, and intuitive sitter ! Teresa was also so diligent in sending me her daily picture and video updates of my cat. With every picture and video I saw, I knew that Milo was so happy being with her and I never worried for one minute while I was away. What a gift ! Teresa was also a serious life-saver for me as literally an hour before I was leaving for my trip, I found out my cat's tracker app was not working and after a few emails and phone calls, we found out the tracker's server was down. Teresa took the initiative to follow up with getting the tracker to work again which was a HUGE stress-relief for me . She is not only wonderfully savvy with animals but also with technology as well ! I feel so fortunate to have Teresa in my life now, not only as an amazing sitter for Milo but also as a wonderful friend for life! Thank you, Teresa for everything.... Milo and I so appreciate you .....
Hannah and Joseph housesat our three kitties for a week and a half while we were traveling for the holidays. They were very communicative and conscientious. We received daily updated on our cats with cute and funny pictures. When they noticed our 17yo cat, Amber, wasn’t eating very much, they let us know and we were able to resolve the problem quickly. They were also very resourceful and understanding when we ran out of some cat supplies. Hannah and Joseph took great care of the house. Everything was very clean and tidy when we arrived back, and we had a short time to get to know them on our arrival. We would be fortunate to find more house sitters like them, and would of course love to have them back in the future! We wish Hannah and Joseph luck in their travels!
Becca was fantastic - we cannot say enough about how great she is as a pet and house sitter and as a human being! Becca committed to the sit 8 months in advance and was great with her responsiveness in communication during the long lead up to the sit. She arrived early and got the low downs on the animals and house stuff prior to us leaving. She woke up crazy early to help us get to the airport and picked us up when we returned, which made the traveling so much easier on our end. She left the house spot-less (and this is no exaggeration), with the linens cleaned, and a wonderful meal waiting for us upon our return. She is an absolute gem of a person with a great sense of humor and a kind and compassionate nature, and she really enjoys the animals in her care. Our dog and cat were very well cared for and totally at ease upon our return. If you are lucky enough to have Becca sit for you, you will be very pleased at how well she does the job!
Sabre is a sweet, honest person who stepped up at the very last moment (after the prior sitter flaked out) to watch our dog and cat for 17 days. When there were a couple minor accidents, she informed us of them right away. One involved a burnt pan (easy to do if you’re not familiar with an induction stovetop) which she offered to replace. Sabre also washed the towels and sheets, and made up the bed before we got home. The yard was pooper scooped and litter box was clean. Pets seemed well-cared for. When she had to leave town for several hours one day, she made sure to arrange for our neighbor take care of the pets. Additionally, I appreciated how she didn’t assume that it would be ok to bring her cat. When we found out she was going to keep her cat in a kennel during her stay here, we told her she could bring him which worked out fine. Overall, I would confidently recommend Sabre to watch your pets and house.
We were so pleased to meet John and Trisha! We had them come in a day before we left and enjoyed a nice meal with them and they got to meet Delilah (even if she didn’t seem interested) but she soon warmed up to them - except for the Cat Videos - she wasn’t very interested 🤣 When we returned our home was so clean (probably cleaner than we left it)! We got frequent pics and updates on our Princess! They also left us with a Progress Report with Delilah’s activities and what they did at the house before they left. We would highly recommend John & Trisha if you are lucky enough to have them apply for a House Sitters job! Bill, Kathy & Delilah 🐈⬛❤️
Kathryn was amazing. She helped me figure plans out after another sitter dropped out at the last minute and saved the day! My cat and fish were well taken care of, and she was super communicative when my tank had a problem child moment. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, helpful, and caring sitter!!
We literally cannot say enough positive things about Susan and Miranda! They are the best! From start to finish, they did an amazing job communicating with us, giving our 3 (somewhat needy) cats extremely high quality care and tons of attention, and keeping our house clean and plants watered. They took adorable pictures of the cats and sent them to us several times a day, played with them and gave them so much love and affection, and when we got home the house was even cleaner than when we left. We even asked them for some tips on how they were caring for the cats because our cats seemed happier and more relaxed than ever when we returned home to them! This was by far our best cat/house sitter experience to date. We hope Susan and Miranda are available again in the future to sit for us and would invite them back without hesitation.
Toby and Chloe were one of the best house sitters we have ever had! As a small animal vet I have seen many types of pet sitters and these guys are top notch. Our pets are not easy either. We have special needs dogs, cats on medication, dogs with behavioral issues, horses, chickens, goats and a large (100 lb) Sulcata tortoise who needed close monitoring of the temperature in his barn. Everyone was thriving and happy when we came home. They read through the packet and asked thorough, thoughtful questions. They went above and beyond grooming, mucking and grazing the horses and goats everyday. They chopped greens and fruit daily for our tortoise. If we had known how amazing they were we would have booked a 3 week trip instead! Can't recommend them enough.
We can not exaggerate the care and love Juliet and Laurent gave to our cat, Piero, during his the last few weeks of life. While we left for our trip thinking he merely had a bladder infection, his symptoms turned for the worse a weeks into their sit and later revealed he had cancer. No one would wish their sitter to need to hospice their cat but Juliet and Laurent showed such compassion for Piero and volunteered to be with him when we made the decision to put him down. It was an emotional time for all of us and we will be forever grateful to our two caring cat and house sitters. We have had many fantastic housesitters through zeewoi but Juliet and Laurent top the list. Their professionalism, constant communication and compassion were exceptional. Should you have the opportunity to have them in your home, do not hesitate to book them, you will have no regrets. We do, however, regret that they had such a short time with Piero and had to experience such a painful event.
