I came home to very happy fur babies. Carole did a great job of looking after them and my place whilst away
Edward
Dorroughby, Australia
Energetic, Caring & Reliable Aussie Couple
This was a first time for me and Max and I am so happy that we were fortunate enough to have Edward and Anne to look after Max and my home. They exceeded my expectations, and looked after Max so well. He went to the beach daily, plus the dog park and had numerous walks. Edward and Anne were aware that I have had difficulty restraining Max if he sees a bush turkey, whilst we are walking. Their videos clearly show Max on lead and close to bush turkeys, being guided by Edward to remain calm and not attempt to chase them. This is a great help to me, plus the beach adventures and his obvious pleasure at running into the waves has encouraged me to keep this activity up. So life and exercise for Max, and me has extended beyond the dog park. Their videos of the beach trips showed Max also had a hose down at home, and a towelling dry, Max was never keen on a hose down but he doesn't mind now. In addition to all this Max was also exposed to visiting the local shops, and dealing with bikes and scooters , again he reacted well, obviously feeling safe in Edward and Anne's company. I returned home to a very happy Max and a spotless home and garden. We were blessed to have such a wonderful couple, I hope we will be fortunate enough to have Edward and Anne here again. Thank you both, I was able to enjoy my holiday and Max had the best time as well. He was loved and cared for with plenty of pats and cuddles .
Kate
Dorroughby, Australia
Animal loving Traveller looking for pets and homes to look after! :)
Kate and Tommy were terrific petsitters for our furbabies and took good care of our home and garden also! We came home to happy pets.and a clean and tidy home. We wouldn't hesitate to have them sit again.
Willo
Dorroughby, Australia
Responsible Animal-, Plant-, & Travel- Lover ready to take great care!
I had the pleasure to have Willo stay in my house for more than 3 months to take care of my 7 cats during monsoon season in Thailand. She handled all the challenges with grace such as uninvited creepy crawlies, lizards and monkeys. A flooded house and a mud filled pool. She kept me well informed all through my whole trip and we had an excellent dialogue on how to solve all the problems that occurred. Her love for my animals is hard to match (even by me, ha ha ha). Because she works online she spent a lot of time in the house with the cats which they of course loved. If you get a chance to have Willo stay with your furry friends, take it!
Rick & Ingrid
Dorroughby, Australia
It makes us so happy to be able to care for pets in their own home.
Five Stars all the way and they are all well-deserved <3 This is the second sit with Rick and Ingrid and I cannot recommend these two enough! They are the Perfect Sitters - they cuddle and love my cats, they send me periodic updates (and great photos!), they are responsible and self-sufficient. I know that if there is a question, they won't hesitate to ask. But only after trying to find the answer first themselves. My only regret is that they live on the other side of the world from me, so getting them over for more frequent sits can be difficult. If you can get Rick and Ingrid in your application pile, just go ahead and confirm the sit. You won't be disappointed!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Happy dog, clean & tidy home. Helen and Dennis were perfect sitters. They were quick to respond to messages and kept in touch throughout the stay. It was great to receive photos of our dog and little updates each day. Our home was spotless when we got back. Helen and Dennis went out of their way to help us out and also work with our dogs need for a constant companion. A great couple who obviously enjoy looking after a variety of dogs and other animals. Thanks so much Helen & Dennis 🐾✨

Sophie took great care of our dog, Wally, for the 10 days we were away. She also looked after the house and plants wonderfully. Highly recommend Sophie.
Phil
Dorroughby, Australia
Your experienced and reliable home and pet carers.
Phil and Diane were great sitters. Communication was good from start to finish. The dogs settled well with them both straight away which is always a relief! There was a problem with Enzo not eating when we first left but with a few messages between us, we managed to sort that out and all was good. The dogs were very well looked after and the house was clean and tidy when we returned. You can't ask more than that and we would thoroughly recommend Phil and Diane. We do hope they can sit for us again in the future. Thank you both!
Kara
Dorroughby, Australia
Mature & Experienced Pet Sitter
Kara was a lovely sitter for our two dogs Kevin and Ernie. We received regular pupdates and both dogs were both very happy and well when we got home. They usually get anxious if we leave them and they aren’t walked but they were very calm on our return. Kara was extremely helpful and flexible with some news from the vet we received whilst overseas and overall we were extremely grateful for Kara’s care of our pups. Our home was left clean and tidy.
Noel
Dorroughby, Australia
Experienced house sitters & world travellers but still Students of Life & Love.
Although my planned trip away was cancelled due to me needing to help with a family emergency, and taking Corey with me, Noel and Jude kept to their schedule and came to Kippen despite not having Corey to care for. I'm sorry that I didn't have the opportunity to meet them as they seem a truly lovely couple. Our communication at all times was great, they're so friendly, they asked great questions when we first met and shared lovely photos of some of their experiences on their trip. While Noel and Jude stayed in my cottage they continued to communicate well and were very helpful and reassuring, I felt that everything was in excellent hands and was happy that they could enjoy the area even though they didn't have Corey for company!
Reviews from Cat Owners
Karin
Kendra was a great cat sitter to Genepi and she truly is a cat whisperer. Genepi usually takes 4 days to make friends with a new person but she came out and made friends with Kendra Day 1! Kendra regularly sent wonderful videos and pics of Genepi purring happily. The apartment was neat when we returned and our garden was blossoming. Would absolutely ask Kendra to sit again and highly recommend her. Thanks Kendra!!
Mike
Cung was a wonderful cat sitter and housesitter and we would happily invite him back again. He was excellent with our cats and sent plenty of photos, and also left the house impeccably clean. We had to come back a day early and so we got to spend some time with him which we enjoyed as well. 10 out of 10 recommend! 
Diana
Sharon and Milton were outstanding sitters and if I could give more than 5 stars I certainly would.
Reliable, communicative, helpful, self sufficient and tidy, they took great care of my home. More importantly my cats were lovingly cared for and extremely content when we returned.
I highly recommend Sharon and Milton without reservation and hope to have them return in the future.
Laney
Quinn was an amazing sitter for my cat Moon! She regularly checked in with updates on moon while we were away on a two week vacation, and seemed to give her plenty of attention, play with her, etc. Communication was easy and she left our apartment spotless after departing. Highly recommend her as a pet sitter!
Patty
Nathalie and John were great! They were great house sitters to watch our two dogs, 2 geckos, our old cat and bull frog. Their two girls took good care of the animals as well. The house was exactly how we left it. We really appreciated their help!
Nancy
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!
Will
Jinnie was an excellent house sitter for me and my cat Felix. Completely responsible and reliable and helpfully flexible. She was willing to work with me as I dithered on whether I was actually going to go on my trip (which was dependent on good weather), and when I finally decided on making my trip one day shorter. House was clean and organized on my return, and, more importantly, my cat was calm and relaxed on my return. I would happily have Jinnie come sit for me and Felix again.
Ned
Pennee and Bill were the BEST pet sitters and guests ever! I really wanted them to stay forever ! Our cat, Miss Kitty bonded so much to them, that she really wasn’t that happy to see me when I got home .Our cat is a finicky eater and they tried all different types of food and treats for her. They sent me regular photos of miss kitty and I knew everything was great when most of the pics had miss kitty on their lap. Our cat doesn’t take to many people but she immediately fell in love with them. Pennee sent us our mail and prescription meds on a regular basis , and went out of her way to take care of any issues . They fell in love with the neighbors and community and just made our lives so easy . We experienced the Covid 19 virus outbreak quarantine during this time and Pennee and Bill agreed to stay a month longer at our home . They were extremely flexible with their travel plans so that everyone would be safe. Upon our arrival home, we were greeted with a bouquet of flowers , beautiful hanging basket of flowers for outdoors and a beautiful bottle of wine . And our house had never been cleaner ! Bill and Pennee are a pet owners dream couple !I felt extremely lucky to have found such a great petsitter and new friend . We will be visiting each other in the future .
Steven
Kristine was wonderful again as our local sitter from just down the street. The boys take to her like she is their best friend whenever she comes to sit with them. She sent us photos of them playing, relaxing, drinking water and eating so we knew they were well taken care of. The house and the cats were in excellent shape and excellent hands while we were away. It is wonderful that she enjoys the house and the cats so much and tells us so. Kristine comes with our highest recommendation! Thank you Kristine!
