Responsible, Friendly Sitter that LOVES Animals!
Anesa is wonderful; I believe she is a true animal whisperer. She quickly forged an incredible bond with my kitties. I could easily tell from the photos and videos she sent how much they took to her. I was so happy to know that they were in such good hands that I could fully enjoy my vacation. She is an excellent communicator and send me soooo many wonderful videos and photos of my little guys. She left the apartment very clean. Finally, she was extremely flexible regarding timing of the initial walk through, etc. I highly, highly recommend her.

30 & 33 year old married couple looking for time with animals & a friendly home!
Hannah and Noel were great at looking after Orwell while we were away. We were away for 2 weeks, and over that time, we were filled with confidence that they could take care of anything that may arise at the house. Orwell had recently had a minor op, and they administered medication alongside his normal routine. We also had regular updates while we were away. Hannah and Noel also had to deal with an emergency locksmith situation due to a broken lock. We are really grateful they got this sorted while we were away without bothering us on our holiday. I would recommend Hannah and Noel to Housesitter’s anytime.

Crazy dog couple, who also love cats!
Nathan and Linda are wonderful. You can tell they truly care about and love the animals they take care of, even if it’s for a short period of time. The house looked untouched and they kept everything very cleans. My pups were super happy & content boys. Shortly after their stay, one of my dogs had a medical emergency (nothing related to their care) and they were able to provide a very detailed history of his behavior and habits while we were away in a super timely manner. I would 100% trust them to care for your precious babies.

Dog-Loving & Responsible Housesitting Couple
Christy & Jeremy were THE BEST people I could have chosen to take care of my dog and my home for almost 5 weeks. I felt immediately comfortable with both of them from the minute we first talked. My dog fell totally in love with them--they played with her, walked her, took her to the Vet when needed! Also, my home was kept completely clean and the lawn cut. Christy & Jeremy openly communicated with me and sent pictures often. I would choose them every time if I could. They are exactly what you'd wish for as zeewoi!

Professor of Philosophy who loves caring for animals and traveling.
Megan was INCREDIBLE. We were so worried leaving our cat and dog whilst away for 2 weeks getting married abroad but as soon as we met Megan, all of our worries went away. She is such a kind, lovely person who is amazing with pets. She kept us updated every day with pictures and brought our dog Odie on adventures to places I haven’t even been to yet!! I hope to have Megan stay with us again, not even as a house sitter but as a friend.

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! 
Chris was an outstanding pet sitter and I would definitely use him again! He is reliable, responsible, and thorough. I was able to FaceTime Chris prior to the sit and he spent a lot of time answering and asking questions. I felt confident after speaking with him. Throughout the weekend, Chris communicated clearly through texting. He let me know when he arrived and left which was helpful. He also sent photos and updates of both my cats. My boy cat has occasional anxiety issues which cause UTI's. Andy had a flare up while I was away and Chris was very attentive to him and let me know how he was doing. Chris did not seem to mind taking extra care of him which I very much appreciate. Chris left my house clean and even washed the sheets and towels he used before leaving!
Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!
We literally cannot say enough positive things about Susan and Miranda! They are the best! From start to finish, they did an amazing job communicating with us, giving our 3 (somewhat needy) cats extremely high quality care and tons of attention, and keeping our house clean and plants watered. They took adorable pictures of the cats and sent them to us several times a day, played with them and gave them so much love and affection, and when we got home the house was even cleaner than when we left. We even asked them for some tips on how they were caring for the cats because our cats seemed happier and more relaxed than ever when we returned home to them! This was by far our best cat/house sitter experience to date. We hope Susan and Miranda are available again in the future to sit for us and would invite them back without hesitation.
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!
Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!
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.
Elyse was one of the best pet sitters we've ever met! Couldn't recommend her more. We hope she stays at our place again. She sent many pictures of our beloved cats throughout our absence. We returned to our cats seeming relaxed and happy as ever. She also left our apartment sparkling clean. 10/10 :)
My husband and I reached out to Toby & Chloe after reading their profile and impressive reviews only a week before our trip, since our scheduled sitter had to cancel at the last moment. They were very friendly and quick to respond to chat from the very beginning, and ended up exceeding our expectations during their two week stay. It was evident they had thoroughly read our Welcome Guide beforehand, as they arrived knowledgeable and prepared to care for our home and pets. They were very willing and happy to take the necessary time with us to walk through the house and meet our cats, as we got them acclimated with our daily routines and answered any questions. Shortly after we left, our city had a heat wave come through, and after immediately notifying us, Toby went beyond the call of duty and inspected our struggling AC unit to pinpoint the issue. As far as cat care is concerned, we have two seniors (who have more sensitive tummies) that can get irritated after a fur ball or swallowing anything out of the ordinary. When this occurred, Toby & Chloe stepped in and took wonderful care of our cat duo; softening their food and even cradling while hand-feeding them for extra comfort. We truly could not have asked for more affectionate and responsible sitters. We returned to a spotlessly clean home, happy cats, and well maintained plants and pool. (They even cleaned our dusty Kitchen pendant lighting, which requires a steady hand and is definitely a time-commitment …We felt like professional housecleaners had been there!) On our way back, Toby & Chloe stayed in communication with us to monitor our arrival time, allowing them to care for our cats until just before we got home. Overall, they are very reliable and trustworthy sitters whose genuine goal is to provide a top-quality sit, while maintaining your household and seamlessly transitioning to your pets daily schedule.
Jose was a wonderful pet/house sitter for us recently. We highly recommend him. He was wonderfully reliable and responsible and took such good care of our two pets. On short notice Jose drove down from Grass Valley to the East Bay for a bit of a quiet get-away while working a really hard job teaching online. We know how hard that is firsthand and partly why we needed our own get-away for a last-minute backpacking trip. We have a recently rescued pit bull and a rescued cat that we're still introducing to each other to make sure the dog doesn't eat the cat (as he seems to want to), and the cat doesn't blind the dog (as she would if he tried to eat her). That might be more background than is needed in a review but Jose made us feel comfortable about everything because of how conscientious and responsible he clearly is. We could tell when we talked to him that he was genuinely kind and eminently trustworthy. We are very grateful and hope Jose was happy with everything too because we know what a value his care was to us. Jose truly deserves any and all house-sitting gigs that strike his interest. Ours was not the easiest and he was amazing. Get him if you can.
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home for free at Zeewoi.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least $20 per visit, $10/day per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Zeewoi.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Zeewoi cat sitters for free, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
First time boarding my dog, any anxiety was put to rest by the caring people at Dreamchasers. I was allowed to view (from the doorway) the boarding area. The runs are spacious and clean, as are the grounds of the property. Tracy asked numerous questions about my dog's needs and was prepared to meet them all. Rates are really reasonable and my pup was happy and healthy when I picked her up!
Our 2 kitties are 14 years old and one has diabetes and requires shots twice per day. We were so impressed with the facilities- enormous kitty condos with shelves for the kitties to jump to and rest on comfortable blankets and natural light and pleasant clean homey environment. Tracie and Virgil are so caring for all the pets and know them all by name. When we went to pick our kitties up after 4 days, they looked so content sitting in their cat condo. No meowing all the way home and they were calm and content returning home. Tracie and Virgil are definitely special people and have found their calling. I highly recommend Dream Chaser Acres.
Tracy and Virgil are very good with the animal(s) we bring. They have Cat condos and kennels for dogs. They are even helpful if your pet has special needs (medication, special diet), just call and see if they can help your pet. I have kenneled both dogs and cats with them and have no complaints. Their pick off and drop off times are 6:30am, 10am & 6pm.
I was so happy we found Dream Chaser Acres it's the best boarding I've ever come across! Huge areas for dogs to run and even heated floors where dogs sleep. The owners live onsite and are obviously true animal lovers as they are also a rescue. Will definitely be going back to them if only for a visit lol.
Virgil & Tracey take amazing care of the animals left in their care. The facilities are very clean & spacious. Our only concerns with our miniature pinscher, Princess, is she doesn't always want to come home after she's been pampered there.
We have always had an excellent Experience. We never have to worry leaving our girls here. Tracey and Virgil Work extremely hard at making it the best and safest home away from home for your pets, aka family members😉
Our dogs love Dream Chaser Acres! When I say going to see Tracie and Virgil their ears perk up and they can't wait to greet them. Very clean and the environment is warm in winter and cool in summer.
Been going to them for a couple years now and they are hands down the nicest people and always care for our dogs with love! Would recommend to any and everyone!!
Tootsie had a great stay. It is a dogs dream for sure!! Thanks for taking such good care of her.
Stacy and Virgil are great with the animals. They have large areas for them to run, and they are very caring with animals. My dog loves it there ❤️
My dog and i have had the pleasure of using Beatrice on two weekends now. She sends photos and i know he is being well taken care of! Its awesome i can trust someone to take care of Riggs and i can enjoy my vacation! Thank you!
Karen has been coming to our house to stay with our dogs while we go through a series of appointments at Mayo Clinic. She has stayed overnight once and will a couple of times in the next month. We hare so happy to be able to leave our dogs in our own home while we’re gone. They seem very calm and happy when we come home. Our older Shih Tzu has very little sight left and is deaf as well as being on several medications, so it’s nice to be able to have the same person come back and care for him. I leave specific notes for her, of course, because of the special care.
Need a pet sitter? Amazing care, very professional. Not only pets, but watering plants, getting mail. Also daily notifications on your pets.
This place was super busy yet we had a short wait (10 min) before being seated. The food was good, fresh and prepared as ordered. I will definitely return.
Very professional, extremely dependable, and my dogs are always well cared for, when on their walkabouts!
