Laura and Eric completely enabled us to leave our furbabies knowing we wouldn't have any worries at all while we were away. They made sure all angles were covered, even if we had forgotten to cover one or two things. We had a challenging situation between the cats at that time, and they were totally professional and caring and provided updates and photos and i think the cats personalities made for an enjoyable experience for them. We came home to fine the house spotless, plants watered etc, but most importantly happy happy cats. Completely reliable! Can't stress this enough. Communication right from the first interview was thoughtful, timely and we really enjoyed talking with them. My only wish was that we could have met them in person. Would love to have them return at any time, so says Maddy, Juno and Laika. I think they loved their proximity to NYC, and took advantage of many of our suggestions. Thank you Eric and Laura, for all you did above and beyond the call of duty. Sue Ellen and Jay

Responsible, semi-retired animal lovers looking for house-sits!
We were away for over 30 days and it was a real blessing to have Pamela and Eric stay in our home and care for our dogs. They settled right in and even fit into our expat community. After meeting them and spending a couple of days acquainting them with our home and the dogs routine, we felt completely at ease leaving our home and pets in their care. They drove us to the airport and picked us up. Pam even had a meal prepared for our return. A lovely couple and I sincerely hope we can have them sit again.

WE ARE THE RIGHT CARETAKERS FOR YOUR HOUSE AND PETS
Silvia and Leo were wonderful sitters! They took loving care of our dear Scout dog and sent us regular updates and photos of our happy pet. They also took exceptional care of our home! They may have left it more clean and tidy than we did before they arrived. We enjoyed the lovely care and note they left for us as well. We would certainly have them return for a sit and highly recommend them to others. Thank you, zeewoi!

oh my gosh! Michelle is an excellent guest and pet friend. My two girls had an adventure out every day. And because of the extreme heat this summer Michelle was always careful and took the girls out in the morning before the exreme tempatures hit. She was also great at continuing our established training to reenforce what we have been working on. I'll ask for Michelle to sit for me again.

This is the third time Phil and Kathy have house sat for us, and we already have them lined up for next summer. They left the house spotless. Our cats were very well taken care of. They sent us pictures and texts and responded to our texts and emails promptly. We highly recommend them!

Retired, Active, and able to care for your pets.
Once again, Ron did a 5 star pet and house sitting stay for us. Unexpectedly our garage construction became delayed and the most inconvenient part, the framing, landed during Ron's stay. Ron was both gracious and understanding with the construction and the on-going noise it presented. Ron gave our four kitties loving care and took care of all house needs. We returned to happy cats and a clean house. We couldn't have asked for more, thank you Ron!

We will treat your house and pets as our own.
Liliya, Dimitri and family were friendly, attentive and helpful sitters. They took excellent care of our cat, chinchilla, and garden for the weekend. There could have been a little better planning and communication leading up to the sit (eg, more notice of a late arrival which meant we needed someone else to feed the cat the first night), but there were no issues during or after the visit.

Digital nomad, travel enthusiast and “Uncle Will” to all my friends pets.
Will is an absolutely superb house-sitter – extremely competent, responsible, and reliable. He cared for my home and my kitty for 11 days in September. From the moment he walked in the door for the initial interview, he began to establish a rapport with my cat that continued until my return home. She was so calm and content that I wondered if she even knew I was absent! Will communicated very well throughout his stay and sent several texts and pictures of my cat during that time. He was attentive with various instructions regarding care of the house and the cat. Upon my return, I found my house cleaner than when I left it and was especially happy to discover a freshly made bed for my first night home. Will is a charming and friendly person and both my kitty and I are looking forward to having him return for a longer stay in the near future.

Caring, responsible person who would like to give YOU peace of mind while away.
Kara is very friendly and was good with Rosie. She sent me some photos during her stay. I came home to a clean, tidy house. I would recommend Kara to care for any of your pets.

Active Sitter
One question we had: Will our pets want us back when we return?? Olivia was tremendous. When our original sitter had to tend to her sick mother, Olivia stepped in and was read to help. She kept communicating us with minor problems and solved them all like a champ (the fire alarms went off for no reason - she handled it.). She has our highest recommendation!
It was my first time using zeewoi so I was slightly apprehensive, but as soon as I heard from Kendra I knew both my cat and my apartment would be in safe hands. Kendra was great with communicating and coming back quickly, very friendly and clearly experienced with sitter jobs. Whilst staying at my place she sent me regular updates. Once I returned home the flat was spotless. I would highly recommend Kendra and I would certainly use her again. She’s great!
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.
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!
We were so pleased to meet John and Trisha! We had them come in a day before we left and enjoyed a nice meal with them and they got to meet Delilah (even if she didn’t seem interested) but she soon warmed up to them - except for the Cat Videos - she wasn’t very interested 🤣 When we returned our home was so clean (probably cleaner than we left it)! We got frequent pics and updates on our Princess! They also left us with a Progress Report with Delilah’s activities and what they did at the house before they left. We would highly recommend John & Trisha if you are lucky enough to have them apply for a House Sitters job! Bill, Kathy & Delilah 🐈⬛❤️
Kathryn was amazing. She helped me figure plans out after another sitter dropped out at the last minute and saved the day! My cat and fish were well taken care of, and she was super communicative when my tank had a problem child moment. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, helpful, and caring sitter!!
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.
Catherine was a wonderful sitter for our 17 year old cat Zabba. She sent us pictures twice a day and kept us informed about Zabba’s daily activities. We came home to a clean home and would definitely recommend her as a pet/ house sitter. My only concern was that she doesn’t drive and with an older cat, I just prayed that Zabba didn’t need to go to the vet…. And he didn’t 🥰. We will ask her again for sure.
If Macie and Roman ever apply to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the. offer. You will not be disappointed. They are among the top (if not the top) sitter I've ever had and I've been on this site for years. Primarily, they are very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Macie and Roman kept me abreast of their plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk them through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Macie and Roman really care. When they got to my apartment after a very long morning of traveling, I explained the care instructions and they were very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Macie and Roman followed those exactly. Third, Macie and Roman make you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out of hiding very quickly and was snuggling with them and letting them hold him. It was so nice to see the pictures of them all bonding! Macie and Roman have a calming energy towards animals for sure! Macie and Roman were also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 30 minutes. I really appreciated that. Fourth, Roman and Macie will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Macie and Roman also respects your property. We had a room we asked them not to enter and they respected that. In short, Macie and Roman are amazing. I would have them back in a heartbeat. If you have any questions I would be happy to answer them. Ask Macie and Roman for my number.
Karen was an extraordinary house and pet sitter who I hope to invite back again soon. You would be extremely fortunate to have her take care of your pets and home. From the very beginning she radiated calmness, knowledge, caring and curiosity. We had a great initial conversation where Karen answered questions I didn't even know I should be asking, and asked excellent questions so she could be prepared and understand the special needs for both my cat and home. She flew into my city the day before I was leaving and stayed at a nearby hostel so that we could meet in person and do a walk through of my home. They say pets have an intuitive nature about people, and I knew Karen would be a winner when my normally very shy/nervous cat came right up and let her pet him. Karen sent wonderful pictures and updates while I was gone and asked questions when she wasn't sure about something. When I returned home everything was spotless and my cat was content. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better house sitter experience. Thank you Karen!
Steven was a great sitter for our black lab Souris and cat Pinot. They were well looked after and really liked Steven. Our house was in good order when we got back and Steven was kind enough to give us a lift to and from the airport. He was very flexible, arriving day early so we could show him around.
