Providing Pet Sitting in the Alexandra, New Zealand
Solo self-employed traveler from New Zealand excited to explore new places!
We could not have asked for anyone better. Our pets loved her and they were very happy left in her capable hands. Our neighbours thought she was brilliant and so did we. We would love her to come back and highly recommend Nicole. She left the house in impeccable condition and looked after our new puppy superbly.

Trustworthy and loving pet sitter!
Alli was great with our dog Rue and had clearly read all of the info about Rue beforehand which made us feel super relaxed and like Ruey was in great hands. House was super clean and tidy when we returned. Would 100% recommend Alli and will be reaching out for pet sitting again :)

Perfect house sitters - well trained , well travelled, self funded, reliable
Alexis and Frank were the perfect housesitters. This is the first time we have used zeewoi and Alexis and frank held our hands every step of the way. They were happy to meet us at home before the sit, despite the fact that they live in NewZealand and we live in the UK. They were lovely and it was obviously from that first meeting that they knew exactly what they were doing, even though we didn’t. They made us feel completely confident to leave both our home and our precious pet in their care. They txt us regularly in the days before the sit confirming timings and arrival details. Whilst we were away Alexis and Frank just sent us a picture of Larry with a little comment which was lovely and really helped. Larry was in great form when we got home, he was settled and happy. My house and garden were looked after perfectly, Alexis and Frank had even mowed my lawn. They had washed and dried all the towels and bed linen they had used and left us a delicious soup to arrive to in the fridge. They even put some of my garden flowers together in a pretty flower arrangement to come in to which was really lovely. I would definitely recommend Alexis and Frank, they were the perfect people for nervous newbies like us. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.

Kind, friendly humans seek furry or feathered creatures to have hang out with!
Mary-Rose and Peter were great with our kitties. They spent lots of time giving cuddles and to help make sure the cats were comfortable with them. They shared pictures and stories which I really appreciated. House was clean and tidy when we returned. We would absolutely recommend them!

Two pet lovers who love to travel.
Gary and Peter did a fantastic job of looking after our dogs and our house. The house was spotlessly clean on our return, the dogs were clearly happy and loving the attention that Gary and Peter were giving them. They had tidied up areas of the garden which we hadn't managed to get to this year and even had dinner ready for our return! We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them as house and pet sitters but will be trying our best to make sure we get them first!!

We would love to look after your pet and home while we're far from our home
Karen and Andrew were so easy to communicate with - they were flexible and helpful with timings and arrangements. My small dog was on antibiotics by the time they arrived and they managed her medication effectively with no fuss. Very kind, gentle, self sufficient people who clearly have a great rapport with dogs of all shapes and sizes. Every thing was left beautifully clean and tidy and I would welcome them both back any time.

Perfect carers to put your mind at rest
Caterina and Shai and their 2 lovely boys looked after our home and 2 miniature horses, 2 donkeys and cat so well while we had our summer holiday. We came home to contented animals, a watered garden and a clean house. They even went the extra mile and cooked dinner for us on our arrival. We would reccomend them to anyone!

KIWI GARDEN LOVERS - to care for your pets, house and garden. Summer 2024
Toni and Paul are a fantastic couple and brilliant housesitters. They were great at communicating before the sit (and during it) and I was confident we would be leaving everything in safe hands. When they arrived they slotted in easily and quickly, they are fun to be around and they were so thoughtful and helpful that it took away a lot of the last minute stress of leaving home. Bertie our spaniel also took to them immediately and I was quite happy leaving him in their very capable hands. They are the sort of people who you know would just cope with anything that happened with no fuss. On our return home the house was immaculate, Toni had put flowers everywhere, had made jam with all the extra fruit we had growing, and also made some delicious cakes. Again they were so thoughtful about making things on our return as easy as possible for us. In addition they had done lots in the garden and it was a joy to come home and not find everything totally overgrown. Some people just make life better for the people they come into contact with, and that applies to Toni and Paul. They are a wonderful couple and my only regret is that we had not had longer to spend with them while they were here. I simply cannot recommend them highly enough.

A responsible and reliable house sitter, who enjoys caring for pets.
Anthony looked after our house, Merlin and Nellie for a week. The animals were very well loved and looked after. Anthony’s communication was great and very reassuring that Merlin and Nellie were in safe hands. Merlin was walked twice a day and is definitely missing his big walks with Anthony 😊 The house was left spotless and lovely to come home too. I would highly recommend Anthony to be your trusted pet sitter and would happily have Anthony back to look after Merlin and Nellie again.
Hilary was a fantastic pet sitter for our cat - you would be so lucky to have her care for your pet and home. She took exceptional care of her and our home. Hilary played so much with her and took the best care. She was communicative, easy to coordinate with, and left everything super clean for us when we came back. Five stars is understating how extraordinary she was - we cannot recommend her enough!!
Toby and Chloe were amazing pet sitters. It wasn’t the easiest sit - a nervous dog and 3 cats with various ailments and medication to have, but they took it all in their stride and cared for them so well without any issues. Our nervous dog Zelda warmed to them in just 2 days which is a record for house sitters so far! I also really enjoyed getting to know them over dinner the night before I left, they’re very easygoing and positive people. They also left the house spotless for when I came back. I would love to have them sit for us again. You can rest assured your house and animals are in safe hands with this lovely pair!
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!
After seeing the numerous positive reviews, I knew Cung would be an easygoing and professional cat sitter and house guest, and he was :-) Easy communication, prompt updates and clear concern for Boz & Artie's wellbeing, and pictures of cozying up on the couch together all made our time away secure and stress free. Upon returning home, the cats were chill and the apt was left spotless, as though he hadn't even been there.
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!
Nathalie and John were great! They were great house sitters to watch our two dogs, 2 geckos, our old cat and bull frog. Their two girls took good care of the animals as well. The house was exactly how we left it. We really appreciated their help!
Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!
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.
Chris was a fantastic cat sitter for our elderly and high maintenance kitty. Chris was the perfect combination of responsible and on top of her medication needs while also being calm and relaxed about her picky eating habits and the need to monitor her food and medication consumption. He was prompt, easy to get a hold of, responsible, and overall, a great sitter. I would definitely recommend him and most certainly hope to have him stay with her again.
Kristi was an exceptional house / pet sitter and we appreciate her being so flexible as were not sure how long our vacation was going to be. She was prompt, courteous, and even drove up the weekend before to meet with us. She took great care of our house and our dog snd cats loved her. I would highly recommended her.
