Carla and John were amazing with my 2 cats while I was visiting family in the UK. I really felt at ease knowing my babies were being cared for! Really easy to get in touch with them if needed and they sent me pictures and updates throughout their sit. My apartment was SPOTLESS when I returned! Thank you so much. Hope you enjoyed staying and sitting!

The perfect sitters! They were flexible with their arrival time, enthusiastic to look after our high-energy pets, left the house in immaculate condition, and communicated clearly with us leading up to and during the stay. Highly recommended.

Bethany and Bobby are real lifesavers! They are so nice and took fantastic care of Boris and Natasha; and great care of our home as well. Boris had an unexpected medical issue while we were away and Bethany and Bobby handled it with swift action and compassion and communicated with us every step of the way. I do not hesitate to recommend them most highly and would absolutely love to have them sit for us again.

5-star, highly recommended! Jay was an outstanding pet sitter. Great communication and meet/greet right off the bat. Pet care was fantastic - Sassy kitty adored Jay followed him everywhere and shy Swissy kitty too! Jay made an effort to win over the kitties by creating comfort spots for them, played games, tummy rubs, sent pictures and updates. I felt completely at ease to be away. Jay took care of the house, plants, birds and all responsibilities as well as cleaning everything before he left (totally unexpected). It looked like I never left. Outstanding, exceptional care by Jay! Thank you so much, Jay. I enjoyed getting to know you too.

Erin and her family were wonderful. Jake seemed really happy and content. Our house was in great shape when we returned. Erin and Brett are super organized. It’s amazing how active they were while visiting, how well they communicated with us before and during the sit, and how fantastic their kids are. They are welcome back for a sit or visit anytime. Thank you!

Tammy is such a lovely person. She was in touch with me before, throughout, and after sitting for Peanut. My girl was well taken care of. She went on daily adventures, lots of hikes, shopping, and to the dog park. My house was cleaned and she even restocked my refrigerator. I definitely recommend Tammy and most definitely will stay in contact for future sits.

As a first time user to the app and a generally anxious person- our first housesit was causing me quite a bit of nerves- which all faded the moment I “met” Brittany over a FaceTime call. Her friendly demeanor, experience with animals and openness immediately eased my mind. Brittany is flexible, easy to communicate with and quick to respond to messages. She was instantly friends with our sometimes grumpy elderly dog, and our young dog was thrilled to have a playmate in her little dog, Nala. Our old house has some quirks, and the pool has maintenance all of which she took on without batting an eye. We received updates and pictures over our two week trip and returned to an absolutely spotless house, complete with freshly laundered linens and bath mats. Our animals were calm, relaxed and happy. We would be thrilled to host Brittany again and anyone who has the opportunity to have her house sit for them should consider themselves hugely blessed!

It was so nice to come home to a tidy house with happy kitties and healthy plants. I especially appreciated how Krystina and her sister washed the bedding and towels for us even though I didn’t request it. They also responded to text messages rather quickly! I would absolutely trust them to take care of our kitties and our home again!

Lauren is a gem. If we could give her a 6 out of 5 for quality pet care, we would. She’s a pleasure to work with, easy to communicate with, straight forward and consistent. Our Scottie, Sirius, adored her within moments of meeting her, and she handled our sensitive dog easily. Lauren is very loving, calm and professional. We look forward to having her sit for us again!

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.

Daniel and Vasylyna were incredible house sitters and we would welcome them back to sit for us again any time they are available! They were fantastic communicators, making sure to work out details far in advance and they sent frequent picture updates of our animals which made us so happy while we were away. When the power went out in the neighborhood while they were here leading to a technology issue with our alarm system, they handled everything well. Upon our return, the house was clean, the garden was thriving and well cared for, and our dog and cat were clearly very loved while we were away - in fact our dog was sooooo sad to see them leave! I had the pleasure of getting to know them a bit before I left, and they are such a kind, adventurous, and great couple. I would highly recommend having Daniel and Vasylyna take care of your house, plants, and animals!

Kathy and Ron arrived at our home with a most fantastical toy for our cats and a giant apple pie. Need I say more? They are very experienced sitters and brought personal items that they prefer. We knew we were leaving out cats in good hands. 

A large part of their 'job' was hand watering our garden and Ron took that in stride. Everything is thriving. 

Our cats are usually distant with new people but we received photos of them keeping Kathy and Ron company in various situations which was reassuring. They clearly won our cats over. 

Although Ron and Kathy had a ferry to catch on their last day, they took time to wash  their linens and hang them on the clothesline. They also left us a gorgeous plant for our garden. 

We would very much like to have them back for a longer sit if possible.

Jenny was an absolute delight, lovely to speak to and patient with last minute changes. I have had bad experiences with trusting people with my cats before so was really anxious as Jenny is the first house sitter I have used from zeewoi. But, I felt at ease as soon as I spoke to her, she has a lovely manner and she came round the day before the sit to male sure she had every detail right.

But I think the thing that helped the most was her regular updates about my cats. I could see from the videos she sent they were given lots of love and attention. My cats don't usually play with people but my little girl seemed to love her! 

My flat was immaculate when I got back as well, I am so grateful to Jenny for all her help and really hope to have her sit for me again!

If you are looking for someone to take care of your fur babies and your house while you're away, Daniel is your guy!  I had discovered zeewoi just a couple of weeks before I was to leave on vacation and I was not only apprehensive if the website was too good to be true, but also under a real time crunch.  I reached out to over 100 local sitters and several possibilities fell through.  I was confident I would find the right sitter and when Daniel applied for the sit and I started to text and converse with him, I knew I had found the perfect sitter for my two cats!

Daniel was upbeat and positive, articulate and personable, warm and caring, and he asked all the right questions about Lilly and Eli (I hadn't had the time to complete my Welcome Guide, yet!?!).  I shared that I had an easy cat and problem cat -- Lilly,  who is sweet, social and eats dry food, and Eli who is skittish, was periodically pooping outside the kitty litter box and was eating prescription canned food twice a day mixed with a probiotic and stool firmer.  I asked if he thought he was up for the job and he happily said he was.

Since he flew all the was from Chicago, I thought the least my husband and I could do was pick him up at the airport.  When he arrived, he pulled out his notebook.  He patiently walked with me as I reviewed kitty care, showed him around the house, and where he would be sleeping.  He immediately picked up Lilly who was excited about meeting her new friend and Eli bugged out and down the stairs to the basement (his favorite hiding place!).  We got Daniel connected to the internet, set him up at our dining room table and headed off to airport, leaving our house and kitties in the best of hands.

Daniel wanted to make sure I felt comfortable and assured while we were away.  He made sure to text with me every other day (he had asked my preference earlier), sent photos of Lilly being her cute self while Eli hid during the day although he gave me assurances that he was eating his food and using the litter box (there were a few accidents, but Daniel never complained about these additional duties).    When we returned from our vacation, the house was also spotless and well cared for and Daniel had even washed the sheets for me!

It is with utter happiness and complete confidence that I recommend Daniel as a fantastic Sitter.  He is trustworthy, responsible, caring, and competent, and you can rest assured that both your house and sweet pets will be watched over and treated with TLC -- and will truly be in the best of hands while you are away!

Oh wow! Everyone should be so lucky to have Nicholas and Veerle watch their house and pets. These lovely people are pros! They communicated early and often, were super accommodating to some last minute changes (it was originally going to be only our cats to watch but we decided to keep the dog home as well so that added to the schedule and care needs) and they left the house spotless and all set up for another sitter who came in after them. 

We didn’t get the chance to meet because my departure and arrival times but I dearly hope I get to in the future because they were just great! I even heard how nice they were from My neighbors who say them out walking our dog. :-)

They also sent regular pictures of the pets which look like pro-photography! 

Cannot recommend this couple enough! Your pets and house will be in good hands!

Lindsey watched our cat and dog for a long weekend when we went out of town. She was a very communicative sitter sending frequent pictures and voice notes with updates. She did a great job of following their schedules and giving them attention. The animals seemed to be happy and relaxed when we returned home and I believe Lindsey enjoyed getting to discover all of the eateries our town has to offer. A win-win for everyone!

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!

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!

Chris was a fantastic cat sitter for our elderly and high maintenance kitty.  Chris was the perfect combination of responsible and on top of her medication needs while also being calm and relaxed about her picky eating habits and the need to monitor her food and medication consumption.  He was prompt, easy to get a hold of,  responsible, and overall, a great sitter.  I would definitely recommend him and most certainly hope to have him stay with her again.
