Cinthia is a delightful caring & very friendly person. I have had Cinthia & Lionel before, & we have become good friends. . She loves looking after Bailey, & he is always so happy to see her. I come home to a house cleaner than when I left it,& also knowing Bailey has been well loved in my absence.if I could adopt Cinthia & Lionel I would!!!!💝💙 Anyone who has the privilege of them house sitting would be incredibly lucky.

Retired professional couple interested in places and people.
Carol & Ray were amazing, they arrived a day early for the sit and stayed in a local motel so they could meet us & the kittens before we went on holiday, this was so helpful and thoughtful! Carol sent us a really nice email with an account of their time with our kittens, its clear when you meet Carol that she really loves animals, our cats were both very happy and relaxed on our return and our house was very clean and tidy. Highly recommend.

Lovely to come home to a clean and tidy house and a happy cat. Matt and Katie very thoughtfully left us some fresh bread and milk as we arrived late at night - much appreciated! Communication was every good at all times. We would have them back again any time.

This was my first experience of using zeewoi and I was delighted with the care and attention Kate provided. I had chance to meet with Kate before I left Flori with her. I felt 100% confident going away for 8 days. Flori has never been left in her 7 years. We returned to a chilled out Flori and a neat and tidy house. Thank you Kate I will certainly use zeewoi again and hopefully Kate too.

Nicola and Chris did a phenomenal job housesitting for us and taking care of our Amazon Parrot named Yoshi. They were punctual, communicative, and they quickly warmed up to Yoshi and had no issues taking care of him. When we arrived home we were pleasantly surprised to see that it was neat, clean, and looked better than we had left it. Also, Yoshi was in bright spirits and totally comfortable. I would definitely invite Nicola and Chris back if they ever wanted to housesit again!

Lee and Marc were just fabulous to have look after Bob. Bob absolutely loved them and I had no hesitation leaving him with them. They were extremely clean and tidy and treated the house like home - it was a real pleasure to have them and I can highly recommend them for future sits.

What a delightful couple. They looked after our house beautifully and most importantly took excellent care of Reba, our tricky Labrador. Dani & Mel are confident and experienced dog handlers who ensured Reba had plenty of exercise and stimulating activities while keeping him safe. We could not recommend Dani & Mel more highly. We (Reba too) are looking forward to their next visit.

Sandy and Gary were great, very charming, helpful and loved the dogs, which is the most important thing to me. They kept us updated, off their own bat decided to do more watering because of the weather and Sandy even deadheaded the roses for me, for which I am really grateful. The house was left immaculate, towels were washed, bed stripped and everywhere hoovered. Many thanks Sandy. We would highly recommend them and would be delighted if they would come back.
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.
Florence and Robert were outstanding sitters. We asked them to arrive a day early as our guests to learn the routine on our farm. In getting to know them we found them to be good hearted, down to earth people with a love of animals and diligent in learning our routines to care for our poultry, cats and dog as well as our garden and orchard. Not a typical or easy sit. We travelled with ease knowing our critters were being well taken care of. Arriving home, the house was very clean and looked well cared for. The animals were healthy as were the garden and orchard. Out pets missed them when they left – our dog stared down the driveway after them until their car was out of sight. It is nice to find sitters we would like to hang out with and we look forward to having them sit for us again.
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.
Marianna was an incredible house sitter and cat sitter. She gave our property and sweet kitty top notch care. She is kind, easy to communicate with, thorough, etc. Would highly recommend her, you will not be disappointed.
My partner and I left our cat Mango in Lindsey's care for a month so that we could get married. We were going from FL to ME, so it was a long way from home. We were gone for a month. Picking the right houses sitter was important. We are so glad we picked Lindsey (and she picked us). From before Lindsey got on her plan to fly down, until she was back home again Lindsey was communicative, considerate and positive. We felt like we had a family member staying at our place and because of who she is, Mango and our home's well being was a weight off our mind during the wedding. If the need arises in the future we will definitely be giving her the right of first refusal. Thank you so much Lindsey!
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. ⭐
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!
Kathryn was such nice and kind sitter that both of my boyfriend and me were grateful to have, including my cats!! My cats seemed having great time with her, being around her, chilling on couch with her, or even sitting on her. I got several photos of my cats from her with whort updates. I’m thankful that she let me do facetimes with her when I missed my cats. The house was clean and tidy when we came back. I definately will ask her again to sit my cats and house when I need. Thank you Kathryn!!:)
Tracy was an ideal pet sitter when we left for 12 days. She was communicative, friendly, and most importantly took perfect care of our two cats and our house. I would highly recommend her for any sit!
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!
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home for free at Zeewoi.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least $20 per visit, per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Zeewoi.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Zeewoi cat sitters for free, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
We have used Pawsome Dog Care twice now and highly recommend Michelle. She is so lovely and has taken such amazing care of our two dogs and the communication with photos and information of how they were doing while we have travelled overseas on one visit was outstanding. We have total peace of mind when our dogs stay and are so grateful whenever we need this care, they are loved and looked after as if they are part of Michelles family. Thanks so much Michelle and hope to see you again!
Planning a break had become quite a challenge as our Dusty Rose got older with many medical conditions. I felt at peace and was able to relax knowing she was being well cared for by true dog lovers. Michelle listened to my concerns, provided great communication with regular updates and photos. Dusty looks forward to staying again and visiting her friends. I highly recommend Pawsome Dog care for your elderly pup.
Our aging Dougal Dog does not do well in kennel situations, and it has been problematic finding care that suits him. Fortunately, while staying at Pawsome Dog Care, he has been very comfortable and happy with the same attentive and loving care he is used to getting from us. Dougal has stayed there twice so far, and we have booked him in for 2 more future stays. As we travel far to drop Dougal off we have been grateful for the flexibility shown by Michelle & Dale in arranging Drop off and Pick-ups times.
Pawsome takes great care of our dog Ted when we were away. Ted needs lots of attention with his inherited health issues, Pawsome loved and spoiled him every time during his stay. They did it so well like looking after their own dogs. High recommended and would definitely come back again!!
Michelle and her husband took wonderful care of our much loved 14 year old pug for two weeks over the 2023/24 Christmas/New Year period. Far and away our greatest concern about going away had been finding the best possible care for her. She is old, has physical disabilities and at the time also had a vital medication need. We stumbled across Pawsome Dog Care online and description on the website was exactly what I had hoped, but not expected, to find. I cannot speak highly enough of the level of care, attention and understanding Michelle and her husband gave to our pup. The regular updates we received were much appreciated and we really felt that our pup was part of their family for the period she was with them. A 5star rating, with appreciation and thanks.
Our timid dog was well looked after, and we had daily updates on how she was going. Michelle went the extra mile when we discovered that we forgotten to take food. Highly recommend Pawsome Dog Care
Michelle and her husband took great care of our 12 yr old dog for 2 weeks while we were out of the country. We received wonderful photo updates every day. They attended to our dog's arthritis and provided helpful advice from their experience caring for older dogs. He also really enjoyed the company of her friendly spaniels. He looked great when we picked him up. We will definitely ask Pawsome Dog Care to look after our dog the next time we go away and highly recommend them. Easy 5/5.
Our dog loves going to Pawsome Dog Care, and absolutely loves Michelle- and I feel relaxed in the knowledge that she will be just as loved there as she is at home! I so appreciate getting the daily updates and photos. Highly recommended!
Michelle and Frazer looked after my little elderly Japanese Chin Bentley like he was their own; sleeping on their bed and spending his days in the office with Frazer. Bentley spent 2 weeks at Pawsome, and came home happy and very relaxed - amazing really as he is quite an anxious wee chap. Knowing Bentley can go to Pawsome, and have such care (for his bad leg, skin issues, meds, separation anxiety etc) means the world to us, as we can go away on holiday knowing he's fine, and that means I'm not stressing out my whole trip! I'm so glad I found Pawsome, and I recommend to anyone with elderly dogs who need some extra care.
Pipi had a wonderful stay with Michelle and Frazer, it was so nice to drive away knowing she was being cared for by true dog lovers, and I loved getting the photo updates. I had miscalculated her food and they very kindly fed her the same raw food from their supplies. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you so much!
