Thank you!!

Sean and Columbia were wonderful, reliable, calm, thoughtful and respectful housesitters. They were super organised and relaxed and took such great care of Bessie and Scrabble. We had lots of communication from them during our trip away reassuring us that our dogs were being well cared for. Our home was equally well looked after and we arrived home to everything in great order. Thank you Columbia and Sean.

Liz and Vladi were perfect guests and pet-sitters! They took good care of our Dachshund/Teckel Lola, the house and gardens. Lola is not always the easiest to manage, but Liz was very patient, instantly bonded and looked after Lola with care and attention. All communication was prompt, easy and pleasant. Liz asked well in time if she could bring along Vladi, which that was perfectly fine and worked out well. We all got along really well and had fun in the extra day that we took to explain our routines with Lola and to introduce Liz and Vladi to their surroundings. It was wonderful to get to know each other and we recommend Liz gladly as a five-star pet-sitter!

Eamon and Clare were FABULOUS sitters! From the initial chat over video link, we knew our three animals were going to be in great hands. Eamon and Clare arrived when they said they would and settled in immediately, were friendly, and engaging, keen to know all the elements about the house, pets, medications etc. We have a cat and two dogs, one of whom is 17 ½ and needs extra care, but nothing was too much trouble for them. They are self-reliant, organised (Eamon had a spreadsheet…), kind and funny too. They adapted to the needs of the house and pets with ease – and we only hope our pets behaved as well! We’d happily recommend Eamon and Clare, and hope they come back, even if just for a holiday!

Niall is a top class housesitter and we are so grateful he was our sitter with Blarney for the month away we had this summer. From first meeting it was very clear that Niall was committed to understanding Blarneys needs and to appreciate Blarney’s character so he could be the best companion and carer for him. That kind of attentiveness and awareness is such a gift! It brought us huge comfort while we were away. Niall’s communication was excellent throughout and was great at foreseeing any issues or questions about Blarney’s needs and the house. Blarney experienced a bit of a stomach flu while we were away and Niall was very responsive to the subtle signals Blarney was giving. He rang the vet we bring Blarney to discuss his symptoms and was very willing to take Blarney should he need it. Thankfully he recovered without a trip to the vet in large part due to Niall being so caring and giving Blarney extra attention while unwell. Niall also brought Blarney out on many social excursions to local cafes where he met many people who knew Blarney and that was very fun for all involved as it introduced Niall to our friends here and Blarney got to see his regular pals too. The house was in great shape for our return and the fridge clean and empty which is much appreciated! Our sincerest gratitude to Niall for minding our beloved Blarney so brilliantly and compassionately. We would highly recommend Niall as a housesitter if you are lucky to be considering him for a sit! Looking forward to our paths crossing again in the near future.

Brenda and Greg took care of our 2 cats, Tyler (very social) and Czavy (more shy). They came to visit us one day earlier to meet our cats and see our home. They are a very friendly and calm couple. And good with animals. Tyler came to see ‘hi’ from the first minute and followed the whole tour around the house to ask attention and pets from Brenda and Greg. Czavy was in her hiding spot and came out at the end. We were away for 3 weeks. We knew that our cats were in good and reliable hands. Tyler and Czavy were very relax when we came back from our trip. It was nice that Greg and Brenda also took care of our garden and in-house plants. I highly recommend them as pet sitters. They also will take good care of your home.

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!!

. We were absolutely delighted with the care Summer provided for our cats. Without a doubt, she is the best cat sitter we have ever had the pleasure of working with. Her attentiveness and genuine affection for our cats were evident in every interaction. Throughout our holidays, she kept us constantly updated with daily pictures and detailed updates, which gave us immense peace of mind. Additionally, she maintained our house in immaculate condition, keeping everything clean and tidy. This level of consideration and dedication went above and beyond our expectations, and we deeply appreciated her efforts. Summer’s exceptional service made our holiday experience truly worry-free and enjoyable.

I am struggling with naming our top adjective to describe Michael and Jeanne.  "Conscientious" will likely be it but then again, "personable," "reliable," "organised," and "animal-loving" are top contenders. 

If you are reading this review and contemplating inviting this couple to watch your pets, then look no further. We have had a number of excellent house sitters but this pair was next level in terms of the love they showed our cats, Maxx and Nala.  When we came back, we could our animals already missed them.  These cats, who have never slept with anyone other than us, were getting in bed with them each night -- and that meant climbing stairs! 

The day before our trip, Nala got an ear infection and had to be put on steroids for asthma.  Michael and Jeanne did not sign up for that when the sit was booked but they took it in stride.  In the last-minute rush, I relayed that Nala needed her oral steroids morning and night.  Michael read the RX label, indicating one dose a day, and contacted the vet to clarify.  So you can see why "conscientious" is right up there.  They saved Nala from an overdose!

We were gone three weeks and they sent us just the right amount of pictures and videos.  They bought cat toys (I forgot to put ours out!) and actively engaged with them, including 20-minute massages for Maxx.  I truly believed them when they said they fell in love with our fur babies.

The house was spotless (which was not important to me but truly appreciated) but I smiled when all six water stations in our yard were filled.  They took seriously my love for and the needs of the wildlife in our yard.  Our plants were all in good condition as well.  

Sensing they were "next level" when I met them, I predicted they would want to leave a meal for us upon our return.  I asked them not to but they found another way to bow out with class.  They made a donation to a nonprofit I work with instead.  This I learned from the lovely thank you note they left. 

I hope they will consider Charles and I friends because we certainly feel that way about them now. What special people.  If you book them, treat them well because they are going to do that for you for sure.

Anna was an excellent sitter - she took great care to understand all of the intricacies of taking care of the house and cats, asked lots of questions, and arrived on time and ready for the sit. During the trip, she checked in with updates, and upon returning home, left the space tidy and clean. The cats were happy and healthy, and seemed to have had a great time during the sit. Thanks Anna!

Windy & Dustin are some of my top go-tos! They are wonderful sitters who I can trust to take care of my cats and goats and love them like their own! They are so respectful of my house and are always flexible with me when plans change last minute.

Laura came across the country to sit for us. She arrived a day early and from the moment my pets met her our Lokie was smitten. We have one shy cat Luna and she was out and about on the first night. Laura kept us updated and shared her Adventures as well. We do live in a small hideaway of a town so seeing that she was able to enjoy herself was nice. We returned to a clean home, laundry done also, and very content pets. Lokie was sad for a few days as he missed his friend. We would recommend Laura as a sitter to anyone and would have her back again. 5 plus stars. ⭐

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.

Caroline was a fabulous sitter and looked after our cat and the house beautifully. She is sensible and very self-sufficient but also kept us informed. We came home to a happy cat and a tidy house. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others and hope she will sit for us again in the future!

Cat and Paul were wonderful sitters - our cats were contented and calm when we returned.  And the house was spotless.  Plus Paul mowed our entire yard including the back meadow - what a surprise! We very much enjoyed visiting with them as well and getting to know them.  Highly recommend :)

Steven was a great sitter for our black lab Souris and cat Pinot. They were well looked after and really liked Steven. Our house was in good order when we got back and Steven was kind enough to give us a lift to and from the airport. He was very flexible, arriving day early so we could show him around.
