I am very happy that Pete and Maria house and cat sat for me. Good communication pre and during the sit - really appreciated the updates and pictures of Lulu. House was immaculate on my return and cat was happy - what more could you ask for. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Reign was an excellent pet sitter when she looked after my cat Yumi in Saigon. She was very friendly and easy going, providing me with regular updates throughout the month I was away. I came home to an incredibly spotless apartment and she even went to the extent of leaving lovely gifts and treats for me which was a great surprise after getting back!

Animal lovers, retired and active couple, willing to house & pet sitting for you
Marcia and Tony took such good care of our cats and home while we were away. Our elderly cat required close attention and a visit to the vet. Tony and Marcia cared for him like he was their own. Nothing was too much trouble. We're so grateful that they were available to look after him while we were away. He is doing really well as a result of their care and kindness. We would love for them to sit for us again in the future and would wholeheartedly recommend them to the others.

Angelique and Jonathan went out of their way to care for our pets and our home while we were away. Would absolutely welcome them back to our home or recommend to any other families looking for reliable and kind people to mind their homes and pets.

Vegan artist and partner looking to spend time with furry animals and travel!
Zelia and Allan were extremely well organised and self-sufficient. This was their extended stay at our home with our dogs. They took excellent care of both of our dogs and also a stray that appeared at our house during the end of their stay. We would definitely recommend them for other house sits and would definitely invite them back here again.

As many pet owners know, routine is very important to a dog. The familiar routine keeps them calm and collected. We gave permission for Missy's routine timing to be changed slightly and gave specific rules that we also wanted followed, because she is still a pup and we have spent months patiently giving her the proper training in order to be a happy and healthy dog. We feel that these rules were not adhered to. Her entire routine was changed. She was fed and walked at random times and also for not long enough. As a result of this, she is now gulping down her food and no longer calm on her walks. As Missy loses a lot of hair and the grass is mostly wet and muddy in Ireland, we have a section of our couch that is covered for her to be comfortable with. Missy was however encouraged to lie on the section of the couch that is not covered. We also returned to a house that was not in the same state that we left for them. It's unfortunate that we need to leave a review like this, because as a couple, they are lovely.
This was our first time using zeewoi and we were a little apprehensive, especially as we were going away for almost 5 weeks, but we really didn’t need to be. Mary and Kevin were fantastic from the start. They had excellent communication and put us at ease straight away. They looked after both our cats with lots of care and we came home to two very happy and content kitties. Mary and Kevin struck the balance just right whilst we were away by keeping us informed of how the cats were and sending pictures of what the cats were up to every couple of days. It was so lovely to know that the cats were enjoying themselves and being so well looked after whilst we were away. Mary and Kevin also looked after our house extremely well and we came back to a very clean and tidy home. We would definitely recommend Mary and Kevin to anyone needing a house sitter and would love for them to sit for us again if they were ever back in the area.
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.
Joi did a wonderful job caring for my two cats and two guinea pigs, as well as caring for my home! She is coming back in November for a long sit while I am out of the country and we all can’t wait. Joi had experience with rabbits and jumped right in with guinea pig care. She is so calm around them that they were sitting on her lap day one! She spent time preparing their vegetables and kept their enclosure and room clean, which requires daily effort. She even washed the floor mats in their room so it was fresh when I returned home. She went above and beyond sending me daily photos and videos so I could see that everyone was healthy and happy. It was apparent to me that she spent a lot of time with my pets, which is very important so they don’t become stressed and lonely when I am away. Joi also took excellent care of my two cats. They receive daily wet food with some medication and she ensured that they received it on time. My cats barely noticed when I returned because they got so much attention from Joi. She took excellent care of my front garden flowers and my tomato and herb hydroponic gardens. These take some daily attention and time in the summer, and I returned home to them looking great! Joi is a very caring, clean, and thoughtful sitter and I hope she comes back many more times!
Kimberly was a wonderful sitter who watched our two cats for us while we were out. She was willing to come a day early to help acclimate herself with the animals, and this was exceedingly helpful in making sure the cats would be comfortable with her during our absence. I would highly recommend Kimberly if you're looking for a responsible, caring sitter.
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!
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!
Elyse was one of the best pet sitters we've ever met! Couldn't recommend her more. We hope she stays at our place again. She sent many pictures of our beloved cats throughout our absence. We returned to our cats seeming relaxed and happy as ever. She also left our apartment sparkling clean. 10/10 :)
Oh wow! Everyone should be so lucky to have Nicholas and Veerle watch their house and pets. These lovely people are pros! They communicated early and often, were super accommodating to some last minute changes (it was originally going to be only our cats to watch but we decided to keep the dog home as well so that added to the schedule and care needs) and they left the house spotless and all set up for another sitter who came in after them. We didn’t get the chance to meet because my departure and arrival times but I dearly hope I get to in the future because they were just great! I even heard how nice they were from My neighbors who say them out walking our dog. :-) They also sent regular pictures of the pets which look like pro-photography! Cannot recommend this couple enough! Your pets and house will be in good hands!
Kristine was wonderful again as our local sitter from just down the street. The boys take to her like she is their best friend whenever she comes to sit with them. She sent us photos of them playing, relaxing, drinking water and eating so we knew they were well taken care of. The house and the cats were in excellent shape and excellent hands while we were away. It is wonderful that she enjoys the house and the cats so much and tells us so. Kristine comes with our highest recommendation! Thank you Kristine!
Super nice sitters and extremely flexible. Really enjoyed their company and I only regret that I was too frazzled to chat with them more and get to know them! Kept the house super clean, pets loved them. Dog especially. Had a little problem with my new kitten not meshing well with the older cats (which was not too surprising since cats can be territorial). Pennee was very patient and gave me constant updates and tips. And the older cat was much more calm when I came home. Highly recommend and welcome back anytime!
