Betsy & Bill were ideal sitters - confident, friendly & interesting. They looked after our dogs very well, keeping to their routine whilst also keeping us informed together with photos. The house & gardens were similarly kept in immaculate order. We would have no hesitation in having them back & recommending them to others.

Retired dog trainer, pet sitter, and dog foster parents seeking adventures.
Dennis and Brenda arrived the evening before I left, giving us time to get acquainted and familiarize them with the house and my dog, Piper. This was my first experience with zeewoi and they put me at ease asking great questions. They kept in touch by text with questions and reports on walks with Piper and daily updates. When I returned, the house was clean and well cared for. I will check their availability again next summer when they are in the area. Excellent experience and I would recommend Brenda and Dennis to care for your home and dogs.

Experienced pet/animal lovers seek to meet and love your pets while you're away.
Wendalyn & Roger were perfect. Our 2 schnauzers loved the care & attention they provided. They sent pictures of R & R and that was great too, All went smooth & hope we can do it again sometime.

Loving and adventurous pet sitter
Gina surpassed our expectations and I can't recommend her highly enough. She cared for our house and dog for a month. When he had a torn paw, she researched how to treat it and applied the proper medicines and a cone, soaked the paw etc. and our dog recovered, which saved us literally hundreds of dollars in vets fees. Gina communicated very well with us while we were away. We trusted her and our dog really liked her. Gina also took great care of our house and large garden.

Two caring, loving teachers to take care of your babies while you are away!
Jason and Amanda have taken care of my pets before. I was so happy that they were able to come back and I would have them back any and every time! They love on my pets and they are so respectful and considerate of my house. What more could you possibly ask for?

Reliable and trustworthy couple will take loving care of your home and pets
Bob and Milena are TERRIFIC! This is the third time I’ve had them care for my elderly dog, Lady. Lady loves them! I’m kept up to date on her daily activities along with pictures. I never worry when they are here as I know everything is in great hands. If you get a chance to have them care for your pet, please do. You’ll be happy you did!

Mature professional woman to care for your home and pets!
Kris was an amazing sitter. She is very accomodating, detail oriented, thorough. A lovely person and very easy to get along with. She updated us regularly with photos. Prior to Kris arriving at out house, our dog got sick and ended up having to be on a different meal plan. Fed 4-6 times a day with specific foods. Very different from his kibble twice a day. Kris had no problem helping us with with his new diet. I would strongly recommend Kris and will hopefully have the delight of seeing her again in the future Thanks for everything!

Jessica and Rick just did a 2 week house sit for us. Jessica was very conscientious in the care of our cat and our home. Communication with Jessica was great, including the re-scheduling of our dates of travel and arrangements. Our house actually looked better when we returned than when we left it. I really appreciate coming home to clean house after an adventurous trip. I also received a good number of fun photos of our pets, which is always reassuring. I would highly recommend Jessica and Rick for future housesitting assignments.

High School Sweethearts, who love animals and adventures!
We had Cassie and Amiel sit while we were away in Michigan for a week. They are super friendly and laid back, were responsive to all messages, diligent with their communication and questions about the house, and sent us photo updates every day. Our cats seemed very loved and content when we came home and our house was spotless. On top of it all, Cassie offered to swing by the morning before our arrival to check on the cats and feed them their wet food, even though I had ended the sit the night before. Our flight was delayed so I really appreciated Cassie offering that. She went above and beyond. Would highly recommend! We've already booked them again for our next sit in a couple weeks.

Getting my pet fix while seeing the world
Shelly was our first zeewoi, and she was an absolute pleasure to work with! She's a total pro - she was a clear and consistent communicator and clearly understands well what taking care of a house and animals requires. Not only did she exceed our expectations, she also shared some of her tips and expertise with us! We would happily have Shelly watch our dog and stay at our home again. She sent regular photos and kept us fully up to date and we came home to a very well-kept house. Thanks Shelly!
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.
Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!
The best cat sitters ever! They loved our cats and spent so much time playing with them and making sure they were happy! We had photos and videos every day with funny little messages and we came home to two very happy, healthy cats. The house was spotless and they even washed the linen and towels! They left us some cute Easter presents and breakfast shopping in the fridge, as we were returning after a long flight. We would definitely recommend Michael and Jeanne to anyone and hope they will come back to Teignmouth in the near future. Thanks very much for looking after our beautiful cats and our home x
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.
I thoroughly enjoyed working with Kathryn! I needed to extend dates for the sit after we had set it up and she was able to accommodate this so was actually here from 10/4-20. She was timely and communicative throughout - and she is a very nice person. She kept the house really tidy and followed all instructions well. My cats took to her quickly. When I returned, they had been very well cared for and seemed fully content even though I'd never left them for long before. While away, I reached out to Kathryn by text several times regarding deliveries, etc. She was very prompt in responding and adept at handling issues as they arose. I highly recommend Kathryn as a house sitter - and would happily work with her again!
Anna was a wonderful sitter for our furry friends. My dog, Luke, bonded with her and was sad when she left. My cats would crawl under the covers and curl up with her at night. She is a true animal magnet and lover. I highly recommend Anna to anyone who wants their pets to recieve first class love while away.
Jenima is an excellent sitter! She is organized, communicative and flexible throughout the stay. We needed a sitter at the last minute because Jazz got sick, and Jenima saved us. We left a little worried about him, but Jenima took care of him really well and kept us informed. Cats love her! We definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!
Danny and Jo did a great job caring for our 3 cats and fish AND lots of plants (and home of course) while we were out of town for 3 weeks. We came back to a very clean house, sheets, and towels all clean and folded and fresh sheets on the bed they were using. The plants were all alive too, which is a first for us (again, we have a lot of plants!). The cats were happy to see us and they were all accounted for (a past sitter lost a cat for a week - they escaped outside as a non-outside cat). Everything was in its place and looked great. We received regular updates (via text) with photos of the cats lounging about which was important for us. Danny asked good questions when they visited us before the sit, and when reviewing our pet/house sitting instructions. The only thing we noticed that was different was that our 2 young cats were a little lighter (not necessarily a bad thing) but we understand that being gone for that length of time can be stressful on our furry family, which almost always affects their eating habits. All in all, we would definitely have them again!
Tonya was great and filled in after our other sitter had to cancel. She was very self sufficient and navigated acclimating herself to everything since she arrived after we left. She gave thoughtful updates on my cat and I could tell she really enjoyed her, so that means the world to me! She left the place immaculate and we will certainly have Tonya back!
