Daniel is simply THE BEST SITTER. We were extremely pleased to have him over for the 2nd time and we actually invited him a 3rd time to come and stay because he is simply amazing. -Daniel is extremely organised and reliable : during the sitting he would constantly update us. -he is super clean and tidy: we consider ourselves very clean but we swear that when we came back home the flat was even cleaner that when we left it! -he is loving with our cat: our cat was so comfortable and happy with Daniel that she constantly slept right next to him for a cuddle. What to say? We felt so relaxed at the idea of having him at home and we would have him back in an heartbeat!! Super recommended! Thank you Daniel ❤️

Marius and Eunice were fantastic cat sitters for our cat Olu. They took great care of him while we were away for 3 weeks. They kept our apartment tidy and sent us constant photo and video updates so we could see that Olu was doing well. They even gave us some great tips, like moving Olu's water fountain to a different location to encourage him to drink more. We really appreciated their attentiveness and care for Olu. We would highly recommend Marius and Eunice to anyone looking for reliable and responsible house sitters!

Inco and Martha were amazing pet sitters for our young cat! They asked all the right questions at our video call prior to the sit and were very well prepared and experienced. They kept us updated during the sit and took great care of our cat and our home. They figured out our cat loves chasing a laser pointer, which tells us they were very aware of the wants and needs of our cat. Would definitely welcome them back for a future sit!

TOP recommended sitters! Max and Inna were the best - we came back from our trip to a super clean home and our babies well taken care of. They both are lovely people, very responsible and tidy. They even went out of their way to clean up and organize my spice box :D Communication was always easy and we had regular updates about our fur babies. Being so far away travelling, it definitely felt at ease having them taking care of our home. Would definitely have them over again if we have a chance. Thank you Max and Inna! Best of luck!

A great first experience for us with Zeewoi and Renee (and Bert). A great couple with lots of experience sitting houses and watching pets. They both took great care of our cat, sending pictures every day and ensuring he had plenty of attention. They were both excellent with taking care of our house to include watering the garden during the hot weather and taking great care of our hot tub. We returned from our week long family vacation to find an immaculately kept house. They are both extremely personable and we would highly recommend them to anyone in need of a house/pet sitter.

There’s a reason we have Marion as a first call sitter. We always return to a well looked after home and pet. She keeps us informed and is able to problem solve of any issues arise. She’s become part of our extended family. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her to care for any home or pets.

I am happy to have had Felix and Ulrike taking care of Loky. They were flexible to adjust the last minute change of the period for the sitting, and that was very helpful. Loky was happy and relaxed, and the daily updates from them reassured me all is going great. Upon my return, the house was clean and neat.

Unfortunately, we did not have a chance to meet Angelina and Jonas in person because they arrived right after another house sitter had to leave after a two and a half week stay and they stayed the remaining three days in our family home with our dog Ronja. My interview was with Angelina and she seemed to be very organised and was very friendly. Everything went smoothly, they sent us regular pictures and updates and kept us updated so we knew that our house and Ronja were well being taken care of. When we returned home our house was clean and tidy and our dog Ronja was happy. We would highly recommend Angelina and Jonas to everyone and would love to welcome them again in our home in the future!

"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.

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.

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!!

Florence and Robert were outstanding sitters.  We asked them to arrive a day early as our guests to learn the routine on our farm.  In getting to know them we found them to be good hearted, down to earth people with a love of animals and diligent in learning our routines to care for our poultry, cats and dog as well as our garden and orchard.  Not a typical or easy sit.  We travelled with ease knowing our critters were being well taken care of.

Arriving home, the house was very clean and looked well cared for.  The animals were healthy as were the garden and orchard.  Out pets missed them when they left – our dog stared down the driveway after them until their car was out of sight.

It is nice to find sitters we would like to hang out with and we look forward to having them sit for us again.

Anna was an excellent sitter - she took great care to understand all of the intricacies of taking care of the house and cats, asked lots of questions, and arrived on time and ready for the sit. During the trip, she checked in with updates, and upon returning home, left the space tidy and clean. The cats were happy and healthy, and seemed to have had a great time during the sit. Thanks Anna!

Best house and pet sitters we've ever had! They definitely gave our cat and dog plenty of love and attention.

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"!

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!

Super nice sitters and extremely flexible. Really enjoyed their company and I only regret that I was too frazzled to chat with them more and get to know them!
Kept the house super clean, pets loved them. Dog especially.
Had a little problem with my new kitten not meshing well with the older cats (which was not too surprising since cats can be territorial). Pennee was very patient and gave me constant updates and tips. And the older cat was much more calm when I came home. Highly recommend and welcome back anytime!
