Wandering adventurer who enjoys animal companionship
Sara and her friend John (part of the time) did great job with our dogs and took good care of them, taking them on long walks and giving them love and attention. Sara is very kind and lovely, reliable and trustworthy. The communication with her was smooth form the beginning and during the sit. The dogs loved her, I could really tell when we arrived home and the dogs waited in front of the bedroom she stayed before she woke up. We got a little bit disappointed arriving home and the house has´t be cleaned. We and the dogs were super happy with Sara and highly recommend her!

Ken and Linda are wonderful people. Punctual and great communicators. Roka loves them. This is our 2nd sit with them, and hopefully, it won't be our last.

Mike and Andi are wonderful and Oscar loved them! They were very respectful of my home and left it in great condition. They sent several pictures while we were away and Oscar always looked happy! We certainly hope to use them in the future!

Looking for furries to spoil while traveling!
Jennifer was a wonderful pet sitter! She did a video call with me beforehand to meet me & help me feel at ease which I appreciate. She let me know when she arrived and left--and sent photos during her stay. She was so clean that it looked like she never touched anything! Jennifer was friendly and clearly an animal lover. I would use her again!

Reliable, flexible, and nice.
Attentive. Dependable. Cat whisperer. I was away for over 1 week—so this was going to take some searching, for what I believed my boys needed. I have a senior cat that needed a little more attention. I met our sitters earlier via FB to discuss needs and logistics. And Dexter, Petey, and I met them before I left. . .they were a perfect fit for my boys from the start. After a few days, my cats were acting as though I’d never left. What a relief. I knew from the frequent communication—detailed texts, pictures, they were in great hands—doing what they do best—kicking back and enjoying the attention they were receiving as though it was me. By the end of their stay, I thought my cats were going to crawl in their bags and hitch a ride. . .if I didn’t get home soon!! I highly recommend these cat whisperers. If they returned to the area, we would gladly welcome them back for another stay.

Caring animal-lovers - also reliable and responsible, you can count on us!
Garrett and Giovanna were absolute gems as house sitters. They sent many pictures and updates of my animals who were obviously healthy and happy the entire time. They also left the house immaculate. I'm so grateful for their care of our place and our loved ones.

Maranda & Keon were amazing pet and house sitters. They were communicative when they needed something clarified, but also independent and self-sufficient. They managed the pets many quirks with ease! The house was clean when we arrived home, sheets were washed, and the fur buddies were clearly well cared-for. We’d have Maranda & Keon sit for us again any time!

Even though we weren't able to officially meet due to an emergency situation on my end, Arnell was able to get herself situated and the animals and house cared for. All was well and my home was very clean and animals very happy when I made it home and I greatly appreciate all she did!
"A relaxing and long time away from home made possible by the best pet & house sitters we could have asked for!" Judy and Steph went the extra mile over their entire one month stay at our home. Both our cats became fast friends thanks to the care and dedication provided for them. We were routinely updated with spectacular photos of our furry girls throughout our leave that helped us be anxiety-free the entire time. Even our older shy cat spent time sleeping on their laps or hanging out on shoulders. As for the house, Judy and Steph left it even cleaner than when they arrived! We had a few tasks to maintain the lawn and potted plants outside, which were completed perfectly. They even tended to our vegetable garden where needed! During a 'risk of severe hail storm' alert, Judy and Steph kept us in the loop and went even further to place potted plants under shelter out of harms way. In summary, we recommend Judy and Steph and would happily have them return again if our schedules cross paths.
Chris and Julia were our very first sitters and are the most perfect house/pet sitters anyone would ever want!!! Julia sent video/pictures of our fur babies everyday and we noticed early on that our animals were very relaxed and happy!! This made our trip so enjoyable and stress free knowing that our animals were safe and being spoiled and loved the whole time. They even trained our dog to sit while her leash was being attached and was able to pet and hold our cat that is somewhat nervous around strange people he doesn't know. When I got back from the trip, the house was very clean along with Julia/Chris had washed the bed sheets, bath towels, vacuumed, dusted etc., and even washed the pet bedding. They also left some SE Asia treats for us to try which so sweet of them. Definitely the perfect house sitters!!!
Great pet sitter - took perfect care of our cat and our home. They were super communicate leading up to and during the sit and left our apartment in great shape. I'd absolutely recommend them to any future sitters!
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!
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!
We can not exaggerate the care and love Juliet and Laurent gave to our cat, Piero, during his the last few weeks of life. While we left for our trip thinking he merely had a bladder infection, his symptoms turned for the worse a weeks into their sit and later revealed he had cancer. No one would wish their sitter to need to hospice their cat but Juliet and Laurent showed such compassion for Piero and volunteered to be with him when we made the decision to put him down. It was an emotional time for all of us and we will be forever grateful to our two caring cat and house sitters. We have had many fantastic housesitters through zeewoi but Juliet and Laurent top the list. Their professionalism, constant communication and compassion were exceptional. Should you have the opportunity to have them in your home, do not hesitate to book them, you will have no regrets. We do, however, regret that they had such a short time with Piero and had to experience such a painful event.
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!
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!
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!
Rick and Sally are marvelous cat sitters and we would gladly have them back anytime. We highly recommend them to any and all pet owners. They arrived when they said they would and were ready to go when we returned, making sure our cats were present before departing. Our home was left spotless, undoubtedly better than we left it for them. We can't urge you enough to engage them if you can!
