Trustworthy, responsible female often accompanied by veterinarian partner
Philippa and Roberto lived up to all their reviews. The handover was easy, even though its a large house and there is lots to explain! Philippa very kindly took me to the airport so we didn’t have to have 2 cars there which saved us a small fortune. They were very good with our dogs and Amba and Zulu took to them straight away. Whilst we were away, Roberto was quick to spot that Amba had a fever and swiftly took her to our vet where she was diagnosed a severe infection. If they hadn’t moved so fast the results could have been so much worse. His veterinary experience was such a bonus and it enabled us to feel confident in the knowledge that all our animals were being well looked after whilst we were on the other side of the world. We knew that Amba especially, was in good hands. Philippa always kept us up to date with daily photos, videos and of course importantly how Amba was progressing on her antibiotics. Roberto obviously enjoyed the Garden as he did much more than just keep things tidy, he even went as far as digging out the nettle roots in the vegetable garden. Which was definitely above and beyond the call of duty. On our return we found all the dog blankets washed and changed, (which is no small feat) house clean and tidy, dogs and chickens happy and chicken coop cleaned out too. AND I CANT BELIEVE IT BUT THEY EMPTIED THE DOG POO BIN!!! For that they get a gold medal! Philippa made us a lovely supper upon our return of Tart Tatin, watermelon, feta and cucumber salad with Roberto’s home made Spanish tortilla. We thoroughly enjoyed their company and they looked after our home as if it was their own. What more can you ask for! Muchas gracias Roberto y Philippa hasta la proxima.

Experienced, proactive and flexible caregivers looking for furry friends to care
Anto & Xavi were exceptional guests. This is the 2nd time they have been to our house. The house was in an immaculate condition (even better than we left it ). We have every trust and confidence in them. Our pets were well looked after and doted upon. When we arrived back we shared a gourmet meal prepared by the whole family As a family of 4 we had no problems accommodating them, they were very flexible as on their arrival we had family friends who stayed longer than expected. The 2 girls are a pleasure to be with, great sense of humour, cultured and a willingness to be part of the whole experience. We would highly recommend them and have no hesitation inviting them back to our family home , both as house and Petsitters and as friends.

Animal and Nature Lover!
We waren heel blij met housesitter Jim (Darren). Ondanks het feit dat we altijd een duo willen om op ons campo huis en de dieren te passen, heeft Jim ons overtuigd dat hij de juiste ingesteldheid en skills had. Jim heeft ervaring met off-grid wonen, is handig en super lief met de dieren. Hij houdt van orde en ons huis was ook heel proper toen we terugkwamen. Onze hond en 1 van de katten had medische zorg nodig, en daar werd allemaal vlot voor gezorgd. We vragen Jim zéker terug als we nog eens een housesitter nodig hebben en willen hem bij deze ook van harte aanbevelen!

Massive thank you to Jose for looking after our mini dachshund Reggie and our cat Cobweb for a week this spring. Jose was quick to communicate and very easy to talk to. He left the house clean and tidy and looked after both animals brilliantly. Would def recommend and have back too. Thanks again!

Bonnie and her mother stayed in our home during our trip to British Columbia. Because I was having difficulty finding a sitter for the entire 13 days, I decided to split the housesit dates and it worked out perfectly. The 2 house sitters and I communicated by text so that everyone was aware of the plans for making the switch halfway through. My husband and I were able to meet with Bonnie in person ahead of her stay here. She communicated each day we were gone with photos of Leonard and even a video. She always responded quickly. We knew that our cat, Leonard, was in very good hands and we would happily welcome her back to sit for us again when we travel.

nature and animals passionate
Mar came with her sister and friend to take care of our pets. And although they didn’t have much experience with horses they managed well. Our New Foundlander got a kilo more on her waist. I think she was very spoiled by Mar. I can recommend them for pet sitting.

Trusted and experienced sitter. Love animals, take care like my own
Barbara is a wonderful sitter. It is always a good indication when the cats are friendly and happy around the sitter, and they love Barbara. She is very good at keeping in touch, and we were able to have a worry free weekend whilst she was here looking after our 4 cats. Lady Black, Loki, Rolo, and Baby Bobbie all say, "Thank you* We all say a big thank you 😊
Ally was great! We got to meet for a few minutes before I headed out and I felt super reassured that both Goose and my home were in good hands. My cat is picky when it comes to strangers, but he was comfy in Ally’s lap right away the first night! She communicated well and sent cute pictures while I was away. My home was clean and Goose was happy when o got back. I highly recommend Ally as a sitter and she’s welcomed back anytime!
Hannah and Joseph housesat our three kitties for a week and a half while we were traveling for the holidays. They were very communicative and conscientious. We received daily updated on our cats with cute and funny pictures. When they noticed our 17yo cat, Amber, wasn’t eating very much, they let us know and we were able to resolve the problem quickly. They were also very resourceful and understanding when we ran out of some cat supplies. Hannah and Joseph took great care of the house. Everything was very clean and tidy when we arrived back, and we had a short time to get to know them on our arrival. We would be fortunate to find more house sitters like them, and would of course love to have them back in the future! We wish Hannah and Joseph luck in their travels!
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
Brian is a very professional sitter that does a good job, pays attention to details and is easy to work with. I have a lot of plants. A lot. He suggested me do a video for the plant care so he could be sure of which ones needed what. Brilliant! I’d never thought of that. They were in great shape when I returned. I explained that I needed some flexibility with travel dates, he agreed and rolled with the punches like a champ when my dates did indeed change. Unfortunately, he was a bit allergic to my cat but made it work anyway. He was really awesome about everything including a tree that fell next door in a storm and blocked the road for three days. I appreciate that he appreciated how funny and how much personality Boo has. They got along well and I received some great videos. I returned home to a happy cat and a house well taken care of 😊. I would definitely recommend Brian.
Wow, what a find Justin is! I feel as though I won a lottery. As I was revelling in the communication we were having during his stay, I looked over his profile and realized either that he had updated it during his stay OR I never even read it. I was so impressed with his initial application that described multiple stays taking care of cats in Turkey that I knew he was going to be a great choice. So I'm not sure that I even read his profile or reviews. Turned out...he was more than I could have EVER hoped for. Justin is VERY organized and clear with his communication. Just as--or maybe more--important, he is a poster child for what zeewoi can be: more than just an economical way to get a pet sitter or a place to stay. Justin embraces the barter economy and the opportunity it presents to get to know people. Although we only met the day that I turned the house and my 2 cats over to his care, we had delightful communication throughout his stay. He wanted to be sure he was providing the right care to all living and non-living elements of my home as well as just chat beyond what we'd had an opportunity to cover when we were face to face on the handoff day. Bottom line: I'd have Justin back even if I wasn't going anywhere! I've met a friend. And my neighbors did as well! Oh yes, and my two cats were well looked after, the house was in ship shape, and Justin was able to brief the next sitter in person (I'd had to extend my time away and Justin already had another commitment). To say I felt confident leaving my pets and home in Justin's care is an understatement. Justin is a real adventurer and believer in the power of both human and animal connection. Without a doubt, I would recommend him as a sitter...and a friend! Thank you, Justin for a great example of how to wrestle so much more meaning out of zeewoi.
Summer was a very top-quality pet sitter and house sitter. She not only took excellent care of all four pets (three cats and a dog) but even achieved a very close bond with one of the cats. She went over and above the call of duty with our dog, who developed a serious skin condition while we were gone. We're so grateful that Summer was able to identify there was a problem, took the dog to the vet several times, and ended up having to apply topical medication and give pills and even keep the dog dressed in a t-shirt, which she did flawlessly. She communicated with us frequently, sending photos and updates, and the house was spotless when we returned, even cleaner than when we had left. She did an amazing job, knew how to handle any situation, always had a very upbeat and positive attitude, and we really enjoyed getting to know her right before we left and right after we returned. We would very very highly recommend Summer in all respects!
Toby and Chloe were one of the best house sitters we have ever had! As a small animal vet I have seen many types of pet sitters and these guys are top notch. Our pets are not easy either. We have special needs dogs, cats on medication, dogs with behavioral issues, horses, chickens, goats and a large (100 lb) Sulcata tortoise who needed close monitoring of the temperature in his barn. Everyone was thriving and happy when we came home. They read through the packet and asked thorough, thoughtful questions. They went above and beyond grooming, mucking and grazing the horses and goats everyday. They chopped greens and fruit daily for our tortoise. If we had known how amazing they were we would have booked a 3 week trip instead! Can't recommend them enough.
Heidi was an outstanding cat sitter for my Luna! She was very communicable via calls or texts. She followed all my guidelines for feeding and care of Luna. Luna was very content when I arrived home thanks to Heidi! My home was immaculate when I arrived and she did some snow shoveling. She even pulled a large broken tree branch off my roof following a windstorm. I hope Heidi is available for my next trip because she is awesome. Jim
Greetings Pet People, I am a bit late leaving my review for Kristine who is local to us and has taken care of our kitties Max and Luis a few times this year. After COVID-19 was announced in March, our travel plans came to an abrupt halt. We had to cancel a lot of trips we had planned but decided that it was safe to go camping a couple of times this summer. We called on Kristine as one of our favorite sitters on this site. We discussed safety protocols and agreed to cleaning that we would do to leave the house safe for her to enter. She shared protocols that she had taken with other homeowners and had sound processes to make us feel safe leaving our cats and our home in her care. She even purchased batteries for our automatic cat feeder when it failed to let one of our confused kitties to eat. Kristine is a smart, humorous and a thoughtful person. I would not hesitate to recommend her for your sit. She truly loves animals and taking care of your home. Highly recommended! Thanks Kristine!
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!
