Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

Seàn was an amazing pet and house sitter! He was super communicative and took amazing care of my dog Nala and cat Bruce. They were happy and loved while I was away- I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for the two little fur babies! He sent great pictures and checked in every day so I had nothing to worry about. On top of all that, he also kept my place immaculately clean and left my place in wonderful shape. We can’t wait to have him back to sit and I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone looking for a sitter!
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!!
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!
We are thoroughly pleased with and impressed by Daniel's kind, generous, and careful care of our cat and our house. He is a committed and experienced sitter who completely understands his role and responsibilities and also how to gently win the confidence and affection of a pet. He is an excellent communicator, and he kept us regularly up to date on our cat's well being--sending us texts and photos at least once/week as we requested. Our cat who is a little afraid of new people, grew fond of him, and we have returned to a very calm, contented cat. We highly recommend Daniel, and we ourselves would be thrilled to engage him again when the need arises.
Becca was fantastic - we cannot say enough about how great she is as a pet and house sitter and as a human being! Becca committed to the sit 8 months in advance and was great with her responsiveness in communication during the long lead up to the sit. She arrived early and got the low downs on the animals and house stuff prior to us leaving. She woke up crazy early to help us get to the airport and picked us up when we returned, which made the traveling so much easier on our end. She left the house spot-less (and this is no exaggeration), with the linens cleaned, and a wonderful meal waiting for us upon our return. She is an absolute gem of a person with a great sense of humor and a kind and compassionate nature, and she really enjoys the animals in her care. Our dog and cat were very well cared for and totally at ease upon our return. If you are lucky enough to have Becca sit for you, you will be very pleased at how well she does the job!
Best house and pet sitters we've ever had! They definitely gave our cat and dog plenty of love and attention.
Jeanne is a repeat pet sitter for us. She is wonderful and takes great care or our cats and our home. We have peace of mind when we travel knowing our kitties are under her care.
Amazing sitters - I feel so fortunate to have had them stay. Chapeau was treated to daily walks and belly rubs, and my cat Tica was overflowing with contentment from having been taken care of so well. The house was cleaner than I left it and I was treated to a nice note and a lovely candle upon my return. Also, they left a checklist of item that they had done while here. Truly above and beyond!
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
Jose was a wonderful pet/house sitter for us recently. We highly recommend him. He was wonderfully reliable and responsible and took such good care of our two pets. On short notice Jose drove down from Grass Valley to the East Bay for a bit of a quiet get-away while working a really hard job teaching online. We know how hard that is firsthand and partly why we needed our own get-away for a last-minute backpacking trip. We have a recently rescued pit bull and a rescued cat that we're still introducing to each other to make sure the dog doesn't eat the cat (as he seems to want to), and the cat doesn't blind the dog (as she would if he tried to eat her). That might be more background than is needed in a review but Jose made us feel comfortable about everything because of how conscientious and responsible he clearly is. We could tell when we talked to him that he was genuinely kind and eminently trustworthy. We are very grateful and hope Jose was happy with everything too because we know what a value his care was to us. Jose truly deserves any and all house-sitting gigs that strike his interest. Ours was not the easiest and he was amazing. Get him if you can.
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 overnight at Zeewoi.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least $20 per visit, $18/week 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 overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
Need a pet sitter? Wendy is more than that. She is a loving caregiver for our fur kids. Extremely conscientious, reliable, and really cares about our kids’ health and happiness. The photos show how happy they are with Wendy’s care.
Our dogs love when Wendy takes care of them! She gives them lots of love and attention and follows any special care instructions very carefully. She sends us cute pictures after every visit so we can see how they're doing. We highly recommend her as a pet sitter. The peace of mind Wendy gives us is priceless.
Wendy was hands down the best pet sitter we have used since having our two dogs. She is very thorough and you can see the passion in her work shine through immediately. She was very accommodating even though we only gave a weeks notice of needing her services. We would recommend her without reservation and will certainly use her again in the future!
This is completely unsolicited. Wendy has taken care of my girls for many years. She’s thorough and consistent. My Siberian Huskies love her. More importantly, I never worry when Wendy is in charge of my babies’ needs. Highly, highly recommend her. My neighbors use her services for their cats and they too are thrilled.
Hard to find an honest & reliable pet sitter in our area. Wendy watched our 3 dogs and sent pics & updates daily, while we were gone. Highly recommend her for any pet services in our area.
Wendy is excellent, and our go-to pet sitter. Our two cats enjoy her visits (including playtime!), and we love receiving her daily photos and updates while we are away. She is reliable, detail-oriented and truly cares for her clients and their furry kids :-). We highly recommend her services and can't thank her enough for always taking such great care of our cats.
Wendy is awesome and our 2 fur babies just love her! She is super reliable and trustworthy. Additionally, she provides fantastic updates and pictures of our babies every time she visits. Using her service, provides the peace of mind that our pups are in good hands and will be cared for properly. I highly recommend her!
Our 3 doggies love Wendy and are blessed to have her take care of us!! We highly recommend Wendy Collins Pet Sitting Service!!
I have used Wendy for a couple of times and feel comfortable when leaving my pets in her care. I would definitely recommend her!
Wendy is the best! When she lets our dogs out during the day, she gives each one of them love and attention. She is reliable and pays attention to every detail for each of our dogs. She is so thorough, organized, and professional! E love Wendy!
Michael is the absolute BEST! He clearly has a talent with dogs and cares very much about them. We sent TWO giant breed puppies to him for board and train. With 2 giant puppies and two toddlers in our house, (yes, we know we’re idiots) he saved our sanity! We get compliments all the time now about how well behaved our, now, 7 month old puppies are. And if we ever have an issue arise through their growth, Michael is very fast to respond and help us out. He is truly dedicated to the dogs he trains. He even helped eliminate a bad behavior we had with our 12 year old dog. Thanks to Enlightened K9 Perspective, we learned that old dogs CAN learn new tricks. We recommend him for any dog owners at ANY stage of life, 110%.
As owners of a miniature schnauzer with behavioral issues, we would highly recommend Michael and his dog training techniques. We went from an aggressive and barking dog to a well-behaved one. We are now able to take walks with Spencer, and it is more enjoyable to be in public with him. Michael is truly a master at what he does. Thanks Michael for a new dog!
I had the opportunity to work hands on with Michael and my husky Yuna. We specifically worked on control during walks which lead to off leash. Michael not only trained my dog but more importantly he trained me on how to interact and communicate with my dog. With the groundbreaking work he did that week and the recommended advise for returning home, my husky can now walk off leash amongst all kinds of distractions. (Kids, barking dogs, cats, squirrels, etc.)
Within just a few hours of Michael working with my two dogs on simple leash training, I noticed a huge difference. They were generally calmer, and even issues he had not yet addressed had improved greatly. My two dogs issues included; aggression towards other dogs, food aggression, barking at every little sound they heard, jumping on people, “mouthing” peoples hands and clothes as a “greeting,” and pulling when walked. I really appreciate the way he takes the time to explain things to the owner and answer questions with humor and kindness, he never makes you feel like there’s a stupid question, and has a lot of empathy for owners and dogs alike. My dogs bad behavior is practically gone, they are SO much calmer and better behaved. People who frequent our home (the gardener, friends, mailman, etc.) have already noticed a difference. “It’s so quiet here now!” I feel confident that Michael has given me the tools I need to continue their training on my own. I highly recommend Enlightened K9 Perspective.
I know I left a review several months ago, but this man deserves all of the 5 star ratings. He has gone out of his way to help my two shepherds, and guiding me. I’ve gotten both shepherds trained with Michael & I will say that it has done absolute wonders, if I could give 10 stars I would. I never thought I would be able to have both of my dogs out together in one space without nervousness and aggression. Michael truly cares about the well-being of dogs and making sure they are well trained. I can never thank him enough for his help! You’re awesome!
Michael is amazing.. he trained our husky for two weeks and changed our lives! We went from not being able to walk her at all (she would pull excessively) to being able to take her out with no lease and being able to walk her anywhere.
If your looking for someone to just train your dog , go somewhere else, once your dog or pup has been to enlighten K9 perspective it has become part of Michaels family , this man genuinely cares for these dogs well being and will go above and beyond to do what he can to help you and your dog. anytime of day or night he has been there to answer questions and even tell us what we are doing wright or wrong
As a dog trainer myself , Michael is the only other trainer that I truly trust with my pack. I had rescued a washout belgian malinois from the coast guard who had a bite history. My kennels were full and I felt it was best Michael assist me in acquiring my dog . Michael took him in for 2 weeks to work on some behaviors. I've watched him train , he is my friend and I'm honored to know him giving him a 5 star isnt enough. 10 stars he ROCKS and can save your dogs life and give you peace of mind and guide you on what to do .. Cheers my friend
We called Michael for help with our overly reactive miniature schnauzer, Porter. We were worried about his unpredictable nature and increasing aggressiveness towards people and other dogs. Michael took Porter for 2 weeks and Porter came back much calmer and happier. Michael took the time to train my husband and I an also helped out with our other two pups! I would not hesitate to recommend Michael - he's super knowledgable and will work with you and your pup until the issue is under control. Thank you!
Michael is amazing, he trained both of our golden retrievers, Savannah and Shelby, we cannot sing his praises enough! We call him the dog whisperer, he has a true gift with animals!
