Experienced, reliable, retired, COVID-19 VAX, pet, house, plant & garden carer.
We were lucky to have Colin sit our dog Murphy for the second time. Just like the first time, Colin was organised, reliable, friendly and kept in touch throughout the entire sit. Our dog Murphy is a big fan of Colin, and Colin even left Murphy a little gift when he left which Murphy has gobbled up in the days after. Colin sets the bar very high for other sitters, and made us feel very relaxed when on our trip away from Murphy! Hopefully not our last sit with Colin!

It was a pleasure to have Anne housesit our dog Finn. She clearly loves dogs and he seemed very happy. Communicating with Anne was prompt and easy and, having done housesits before, she was v organised too. What’s more, it was a delight to come home to a v tidy house!

Thank you Duncan & Lisbeth for being our first housesitters. A new experience for us so was not sure what to expect or do. Minty adored you both, so much so she wanted to leave with you in your car when you left and then sulked for the first 24 hours. Minty was not at all happy to see her mum and dad home who deserted her home again. Things have returned to normal again in our household. Thank you for leaving our home as you found it. We will use this service again, thanks to this lovely couple.

Friendly, responsible and reliable
Gemma returned to care for our dogs - this is the 3rd time she’s been here and this time she came with her own lovely dog and her family. We already knew we were leaving our house and dogs in safe hands due to previous sits, and it worked just as well with another dog and her family. The dogs were instantly at ease with everyone, including Gemma’s dog and were clearly well looked after. The house was left spotless, including stripped beds, washed sheets and even a cleaner fridge than we’d left. Gemma is not only an absolute gem of a housesitter but has also become a friend who we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to other hosts.

Friend of animals & plants ❤
I knew I wanted Florence and her family to sit for us the moment we spoke! The dogs had a great time and did some long walks around Skipton and had plenty of cuddles on the sofa. We were sent photos which is always lovely to see. Liaising with Florence was easy and straightforward from start to finish. Sadly we didn’t get to meet due to timings but I trusted her enough to leave a key and instructions and we were on hand via WhatsApp. I would happily have Florence and her family sit for us again.

Courtney and Chris were fabulous with our pets, and there were a few!! 2 dogs, 3 cats and 4 ducks. They coped so well, took the dogs lovely walks and lots of cuddles, and play time. Attended to my spoilt ducks and cats!! They looked after the house, left it clean and tidy and even baked us a banana loaf for our return, how welcoming was that😇Anyone lucky enough to have these guys watch their precious pets will know they can relax and enjoy a break away. Thank you Courtney and Chris🙋♀️❤️

Allan came to sit our 6 month puppy Vera. In the run up to the sit and during it we had great, frequent communication. Allan and Vera bonded well and it was great to spend some time with Allan before we left. Highly recommend!

Quiet, reliable animal loving person who enjoys house/pet-sitting.
Issy did a great job looking after our house and the Guinea Pigs. The house was immaculate when we returned. Unfortunately our beloved dog Karla passed away just days before Issy came but Issy still committed to the sit and all was good. Thanks Issy!
Great pet sitter - took perfect care of our cat and our home. They were super communicate leading up to and during the sit and left our apartment in great shape. I'd absolutely recommend them to any future sitters!
Susan and Miranda are amazing! I've had the pleasure of working with many sitters and they are truly exceptional. They were great at keeping in touch, sent lots of updates, asked good questions, really bonded with the cats, clearly very experienced working with animals and understanding their needs, and generally lovely to deal with. They were really patient putting up with a whole bunch of deliveries and even assembled a spare bed! They also left the place spotless with clean sheets on the bed. I'm pretty sure the cats loved Susan and Miranda more than us by the end of their stay! I'd highly recommend them to anyone and would love to have them stay again any time.
Best house and pet sitters we've ever had! They definitely gave our cat and dog plenty of love and attention.
Lindsey was super communicative, friendly, responsible, and an excellent sitter for our two cats. When we returned, our home was clean and our cats relaxed and happy as if we had never left ! She sent us photos and updates every day, as requested, and when a random mishap occurred in the apartment, she let us know right away and was proactive in handling issue. We felt like both our cats and our home were in very caring, capable and respectful hands. Excellent! Thank you Lindsey!
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.
Catherine was wonderful! She took care of my cat and house while I was out of town and left and Jack the Cat very and calm and the house in perfect shape which I so appreciate. I could return home and attend to other things rather than cleaning house. I would recommend her as a sitter to anyone. She was easy to communicate with, provided updates and pics of Jack, willing to jump in and assist me as I left or returned. She has a sweet and warm personality and enjoys what she does with house sitting. Thank you Catherine!
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.
If you are looking for someone to take care of your fur babies and your house while you're away, Daniel is your guy! I had discovered zeewoi just a couple of weeks before I was to leave on vacation and I was not only apprehensive if the website was too good to be true, but also under a real time crunch. I reached out to over 100 local sitters and several possibilities fell through. I was confident I would find the right sitter and when Daniel applied for the sit and I started to text and converse with him, I knew I had found the perfect sitter for my two cats! Daniel was upbeat and positive, articulate and personable, warm and caring, and he asked all the right questions about Lilly and Eli (I hadn't had the time to complete my Welcome Guide, yet!?!). I shared that I had an easy cat and problem cat -- Lilly, who is sweet, social and eats dry food, and Eli who is skittish, was periodically pooping outside the kitty litter box and was eating prescription canned food twice a day mixed with a probiotic and stool firmer. I asked if he thought he was up for the job and he happily said he was. Since he flew all the was from Chicago, I thought the least my husband and I could do was pick him up at the airport. When he arrived, he pulled out his notebook. He patiently walked with me as I reviewed kitty care, showed him around the house, and where he would be sleeping. He immediately picked up Lilly who was excited about meeting her new friend and Eli bugged out and down the stairs to the basement (his favorite hiding place!). We got Daniel connected to the internet, set him up at our dining room table and headed off to airport, leaving our house and kitties in the best of hands. Daniel wanted to make sure I felt comfortable and assured while we were away. He made sure to text with me every other day (he had asked my preference earlier), sent photos of Lilly being her cute self while Eli hid during the day although he gave me assurances that he was eating his food and using the litter box (there were a few accidents, but Daniel never complained about these additional duties). When we returned from our vacation, the house was also spotless and well cared for and Daniel had even washed the sheets for me! It is with utter happiness and complete confidence that I recommend Daniel as a fantastic Sitter. He is trustworthy, responsible, caring, and competent, and you can rest assured that both your house and sweet pets will be watched over and treated with TLC -- and will truly be in the best of hands while you are away!
If Cung ever applies to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the offer. You will not be disappointed. Cung is among the top (if not the top) sitter I’ve ever had and I’ve been on this site for years. Primarily, Cung is very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Cung kept me abreast of his plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk him through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Cung really cares. When he got to my apartment after what I assume was a long day of traveling, I explained the care instructions and he was very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Cung followed those exactly. Third, Cung makes you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out within an hour of me being away - very fast for my cat as he is shy. Cung must have a calming energy towards animals. Cung was also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 5 minutes. I really appreciated that. My cat threw up at one point and Cung answered all of my questions to assess whether my cat was sick or had just eaten too fast. Fourth, Cung will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The sheets were washed and folded on my bed. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Cung also respects your property. I have an extensive computer setup that he used for work and he was very respectful of that equipment. He asked if he could use it beforehand, which was incredibly polite since he could have used it and I wouldn’t have known. In sum. You need to jump at the opportunity if Cung offers to sit for you. I came home to a very happy cat. Hope he will sit for me again sometime!
Rick and Sally are marvelous cat sitters and we would gladly have them back anytime. We highly recommend them to any and all pet owners. They arrived when they said they would and were ready to go when we returned, making sure our cats were present before departing. Our home was left spotless, undoubtedly better than we left it for them. We can't urge you enough to engage them if you can!
