Exploring the world, one house-sit at a time!
Michelle was great! House was taken care of while I was away and I returned to a very clean home with happy cats. Michelle was self-sufficient. Would love to have her again. Thanks!

Christina was an amazing sitter, she took great care of Bella and the house!! She was extremely kind, super communicative, gave us regular updates of Bella, and left the house very clean and was overall great! Would highly recommend her to anyone else looking for a sitter :)

Besides being great people, Austin and Beth are GREAT sitters. They took amazing care of our home and our pup; we were honestly afraid he would leave with them. These folks are pros on every level and they go the extra mile. They gave Dr. Pepper a bath and made us dessert from our fruit as welcome home gifts. You'll be lucky to have them.

David and B took great care of our precious pups and our house. This was our first experience with zeewoi and David's wealth of experience and reassurance were very helpful. He was happy to communicate with us and sent cute pictures which is always a bonus. Thanks David!

Trish was absolutely wonderful, and so was Penelope, her four legged travel companion! At first I was wary of having another dog stay with Maple for a whole 2 weeks but it turned out to be the best decision!!! Trish would send us tons of adorable pictures of the dogs cuddling, going on walks, watching bunnies and playing with each other! When we got home the house was absolutely spotless with the sweetest goodbye note written by Trish. We would definitely recommend Trish and Penelope to anyone and would love to welcome them both back to our home! :)

Sangeeta and Devang were fantastic pet sitters. I had less time than usual to walk them through the house and get to know them. Thankfully they were super independent and self-sufficient. They left the house super clean and our cats happy. We’re very thankful for them.

Candice is truly one of the best! She’s communicative, sends sweet photos of our kitties, is clean, and I was so comfortable trusting her with our home and cats. This was Candice’s second time sitting for us and I hope she can sit for us again in the future! I’m so happy to provide a high recommendation for her :)

If you are fortunate enough to have Nan and Sandy as your sitters, you will be able to fully exhale and relax on your trip. They are extremely organized, wholehearted, reliable, and thoroughly experienced. The moment they entered our home for a walk-through, our senior cat Poseidon instantly felt comfortable. They were wonderful about sending daily pictures, often with a dash of humor, and they even created a new cat toy for him, which continues to be a wild success. Our home was also just as clean as when we had left, which is of course a huge bonus. I hope we’ll be able to book them again in the future.

Digital nomad looking for furry companions
This was the only difficult sit we have had in several years and 17 different sitters with TH. It was originally planned for 6 weeks and we always meet our sitters for an orientation and to get a "vibe". She could not meet us ahead of time. However, since she had a five star rating, we took a risk and left without waiting for her arrival which was much later than expected. By the end of the first week we were frustrated with her irregular and snarky communications. (She was often too "ill" or "tired" to give us updates on our aged kitty.) At one point we were afraid she might need medical attention since we were unable to reach her for almost 24 hours so we asked a neighbor to check on her which she found very upsetting. Later, when the neighbors complained that a man who appeared to be living out of his car was parking at different places in our neighborhood and going to our home to stay the night we'd had enough. Since we were 2000 miles away, we contacted TH and our neighbors for help and ultimately told her to leave. After our neighbors escorted her off the property we discovered the kitty box was overflowing and his fresh water dish was empty. Our closed off master bedroom was being used as a storage facility for her/their personal items. To her credit however, she did take the time to vacuum and straighten while the neighbors waited to ensure a smooth exit. A neighbor immediately changed the locks and the garage door code. A troubling experience.

I love traveling and I love pets so this is the perfect compromise for me!
We would rate Laetitia with 5 stars! She was excellent in all respects. Our dog, Sparky loved her and misses her now. She did everything we asked and more. If we have an opportunity to use her again, we would certainly do so.
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.
Pares is an experienced and quality sitter and we knew our cat Juniper (and a few plants) was well cared for. We received regular updates and photos which was really nice to have during our travels. While we missed Juniper, we could see that she enjoyed receiving cuddles and attention from Pares. Upon returning home, our flat was clean and tidy, and Juniper was very happy! Thank you for taking care of her!
Cung was a wonderful cat sitter and housesitter and we would happily invite him back again. He was excellent with our cats and sent plenty of photos, and also left the house impeccably clean. We had to come back a day early and so we got to spend some time with him which we enjoyed as well. 10 out of 10 recommend! 
We were very lucky to have had Nia for our recent house sit. She communicated well before the sit and arrived as planned. We shared a meal before we left which gave us time to get to know her and tell her about the house and our pets. After we left it soon became clear the cats loved Nia and the attention she gave them. We were kept informed throughout her stay with regular updates and video clips of what they were up to and how the garden was growing etc. We highly recommend Nia as a pet/house sitter and we would certainly have her back should the opportunity arise. Thanks again Nia
I'm delighted to have found Lisa as a sitter and hope to have her back again! She was detail oriented and clearly cared about my cats' well being. She asked good questions about the cats' routines and needs and about the house to be sure she'd meet my expectations and have a comfortable and successful sit. She communicated very well before and throughout the sit and even though I was unreachable for much of the time I was confident everyone was in good hands. Lisa left the house in immaculate condition and the cats were relaxed and happy when I got home. What a delight!
I was fortunate to have Hillary return for a second sit. She took excellent care of both my cat and my home. She got on well with my neighbors and even allowed my friend to come visit Suley while she was there. I especially appreciate how flexible and accommodating she was regarding arrangements for a sitter who would be taking over for the second part of my very long absence. All in all, Hillary is a gem!
Sharon and Milton are two of the nicest people I've met in my life. This is my first time having a sitter fly in from out of state and it was so simple, stress-free, and didn't affect any part of me getting ready for my trip, leaving for my trip or returning from my trip. Sharon was very communicative before, during and after I returned. It just couldn't have been more wonderful! If you're considering applicants stop looking and choose Sharon and Milton. They are just delightfully wonderful wonderful people!! They go above and beyond just housesitting and pet sitting! Tidy, clean, respectful down to earth and the most kind and loving people. I do believe Milton really is a cat whisper!! They slept with my sweet babies, and even followed silly grooming instruction on one of my cats. Would have them sit for me absolutely anytime.
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.
Florence was a great sitter for my cat Lily. I booked her a bit last minute, as a previous sitter had to cancel, but was very happy to have her. She was reliable, prompt to respond, and sent picture updates daily at my request. Judging by the pics, Lily warmed up to her nicely and they spent some lounging time together - which is high praise from a cat! Would recommend Florence for your next sit.
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!
