Awesome. Cheryl and Gus took the utmost care with both our home and cat, Grayson. We arrive back to a super clean home and a very happy cat. We can't thank you enough. Your communication throughout was excellent. As this was our first experience with zeewoi we were a little apprehensive but Cheryl and Gus had lots of experience and helped us throughout the process.

I can’t say enough good things about Katelyn and Adam—they’re exceptional sitters, and anyone would be fortunate to have them. Their communication was excellent, and they treated our dog and home with the utmost care. We returned to a spotless house and a very happy pup. I just wish they lived closer so we could have them sit for us more often. Absolutely 10/10!

Jane and James were an absolute pleasure to have in my home. They were super friendly, tidy and respectful, I got updates and photos of Rosie running down the beach enjoying the attention they lavished on her. James even chopped my firewood into more manageable pieces for me, came home to a warm home, sheets and towels washed and a very chilled and happy little dog. Highly recommend this wonderful couple, thank you, what a treasure you both are x

To our delight Clive & Cris were wonderful. They looked after our 2 boys extremely well. We came home to very happy fur babies. They followed all the instructions given before we left and gave regular updates on the boys. They looked after the house well and were extremely good to our old next door neighbour. We came home very late at night and there was a home cooked meal and slice waiting for us. We really appreciated as it had been a very long day. Our chickens were happy as they laying proficiently and the fish had had babies. All in all an excellent outcome. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Very grateful to Steve for looking after Ziggy for me after the planned sitter had to cancel one week before the sit. Communication prior to the sit was great, he arrived on time and we took Zig for a quick walk to the local park round the corner, so he could get his bearings and see Ziggy's favourite place for the morning run. Steve settled in quickly with a beer from the bar and then took Zig to the pub for some food. During the sit he always responded quickly to my messages asking how everything was going with Ziggy and also sent me a photo and a short video clip. I would've liked him to take Ziggy to the local park every morning, as i explained that's what he loves the most each day, as he meets up with his best mate since they were puppies, Griffin, and other dogs and walkers, but i think Steve preferred to do his own thing with him, which is fair enough and no harm done. Steve had just left when I got back and Ziggy was in good shape and the house clean and tidy, with bedding and towels washed and hung up to dry. I was concerned the next day to find 6 pouches of Ziggy's wet food still in the freezer and 2 more in the fridge, as it was only an 11 day sit and he almost always eats one pouch a day. Steve said that he had instead fed him a few packs of his alternative food as he didn't seem to want his usual food a few times. Although what was left of his alternative food didn't account for the discrepancy, Steve just said he wolfed down that food and he also gave him his cooked chicken as a treat and some salami. Thanks very much again Steve for all your efforts and especially for getting Ziggy more of his favourite chicken and best wishes.

Cynthia was a perfect pet sitter for our little kitty. We knew from her extensive experience with cats that Nala was in good hands. She was extremely responsive via texts when we were away, ensuring us that the 2 of them were having a great time. She went absolutely above and beyond by scrubbing our bath and toilets to remove our mineral deposit rings that we haven't been able to get rid of! She even left the name of the product she used so we can get more in the future. The house was cleaner than when we left. We'll have her back anytime!

This was our first time using zeewoi and we were a little apprehensive, especially as we were going away for almost 5 weeks, but we really didn’t need to be. 

Mary and Kevin were fantastic from the start. They had excellent communication and put us at ease straight away. They looked after both our cats with lots of care and we came home to two very happy and content kitties.  
Mary and Kevin struck the balance just right whilst we were away by keeping us informed of how the cats were and sending pictures of what the cats were up to every couple of days. It was so lovely to know that the cats were enjoying themselves and being so well looked after whilst we were away. 

Mary and Kevin also looked after our house extremely well and we came back to a very clean and tidy home. 

We would definitely recommend Mary and Kevin to anyone needing a house sitter and would love for them to sit for us again if they were ever back in the area.

Pares is an experienced and quality sitter and we knew our cat Juniper (and a few plants) was well cared for. We received regular updates and photos which was really nice to have during our travels. While we missed Juniper, we could see that she enjoyed receiving cuddles and attention from Pares. Upon returning home, our flat was clean and tidy, and Juniper was very happy! Thank you for taking care of her!

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!

Kira was the best sitter we have ever had!  I chose Kira because of her reviews, ability to sit during the dates I needed and willingness to communicate with my daughter/neighbor who co-parents Colby with us.
I am always a bit anxious about having someone in my home and trusting them with our fluffy son. Kira put us at ease almost immediately.  I received photos and videos everyday throughout the stay. I got updates on Colby’s activity and the fun they were having together. My heart felt full knowing that Colby was being well loved and cared for.  Additionally, Kira was so kind to keep us posted on any deliveries that arrived at the house. 
Finally, when I arrived home, the house was tidy and clean! 
Again, I am so grateful that Kira was there keeping the house and my cat safe! I hope she will come back and sit again. I know Colby would love to see her again.

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!!

Amanda is truly our trusted sitter "find"!  She comes back regularly, so much so that our kitties think she is their secondary owner!  Always reliable, clean, responsible and most of all loves our cats as much as we do!  Good communicator, self reliant - all in all a perfect "10"!

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.

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!
