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 .

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!

'BACK AGAIN' Trustworthy, Mature, Honest and Houseproud with a Love of Life
We knew Keith and Mandy would be great guests right from the start and they exceeded our expectations in every way. They were flexible with our schedule. Both of them are organized and tidy - kept our house clean and cat busy. We had regular proactive updates from them during the sit. I hope they enjoyed their stay in our house and had a great impression of Nuremberg. Wishing them all the best in their trip ahead. If you are looking for responsible and reliable sitters, reach out to them :)

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!

Responsible and caring petsitters
Brett and Michelle are probably the closest thing you can get to perfect cat sitters. They followed all my instructions (which I had plenty of) to a tee, and the flat was left immaculate. I had a cat who is quite skittish around strangers, and they had her playing and hanging out with them right away - which was incredible. I came home to four happy spoiled cats and a nice vegan breakfast. I could not recommend them highly enough!

Trustworthy, animal loving sitter
Zaana is a fantastic house sitter. She has pet sat for us many times and every time, the furbabies have been very well cared for. We live on acreage so Zaana has looked after young dogs, old dogs, cats and goats! Every time the house is left immaculately, she has great communication and is very accommodating. We love Zaana and would highly recommend her to anyone.

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!

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!
Ally was great! We got to meet for a few minutes before I headed out and I felt super reassured that both Goose and my home were in good hands. My cat is picky when it comes to strangers, but he was comfy in Ally’s lap right away the first night! She communicated well and sent cute pictures while I was away. My home was clean and Goose was happy when o got back. I highly recommend Ally as a sitter and she’s welcomed back anytime!
After seeing the numerous positive reviews, I knew Cung would be an easygoing and professional cat sitter and house guest, and he was :-) Easy communication, prompt updates and clear concern for Boz & Artie's wellbeing, and pictures of cozying up on the couch together all made our time away secure and stress free. Upon returning home, the cats were chill and the apt was left spotless, as though he hadn't even been there.
Kimberly was a wonderful sitter who watched our two cats for us while we were out. She was willing to come a day early to help acclimate herself with the animals, and this was exceedingly helpful in making sure the cats would be comfortable with her during our absence. I would highly recommend Kimberly if you're looking for a responsible, caring sitter.
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!
We couldn't have asked for better sitters than Pares and Mark. Since our initial contact, it was straightforward to communicate with Pares. We were lucky enough to get a chance to meet Pares with our dog Luna, and Luna got along with her immediately. During our time away from home, she kept us informed about how both our dog and cat were doing, and they were both cuddling with her since the first day. We got a lot of pictures and knew that they were safe and happy. The apartment was exactly as we had left it when we came back. Pares and Mark even ran the dishwasher and the washing machine for us. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter, and it made our trip very easy knowing they were taken care of so well. We'd have Pares and Mark back to our home without any hesitation.
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!
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 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.
We've had many pet/house sitters over the last few years and Cat and Eugene will reside at the top of the list of favorites! From my first email with Cat I knew I liked her. She has all of the qualities of a good house and pet sitter: Reliable, a good listener, organized, flexible, caring, and honest. She and Eugene arrived exactly on time for our pre-sit visit, where they got to meet Maya and become familiarized with the house. It was a delight to visit with them and become comfortable knowing Maya would be in good hands. Our scheduled dates changed somewhat and they were extremely flexible and easy going about the changes. Upon our return home, we found the house pretty much in the exact condition we left it in. I can tell that great care was taken for Maya and for the house. Maya seemed to still be looking for them the next day, wandering around the house wondering where the other people who loved her went. I would recommend Cat and Eugene for anyone looking for reliable, kind, respectful, caring, tidy, and honest sitters. If I am lucky, I will get to have them back to sit for me again.
