Estes, Texas
Caring, reliable, trustworthy pet whisperer
I didn’t get the opportunity to meet Kelli and Warren, but after being back just a couple of days I’ve already had a few neighbors mention to me how warm, personable and kind they are! Based on our video chats, texts, and the care provided I definitely agree. If Kelli and Warren apply for a sit at your home, I couldn’t recommend them more. Clear and consistent communication, friendly, very caring for pets. I returned to a very clean home with clear info on what had been done etc. Here comes the over and above part. As a housesitter on this site as well as a pet parent, I’ve had good and not so good experiences in other peoples homes. I usually feel really good about the exchange I offer, between my home, the location, and what a sweet dog I have, (although of course I’m biased.) But this time was a bit of a different story. Mid way through the sit I told Kelli I was going to extend my trip, and asked what time she’d be leaving so I could post for the additional days and coordinate with my boyfriend to clean and prepare for next sitter. Kelli instead offered to stay through the extension which made things easy! Then, a few hours later texts me “btw, we’ve been seeing some roaches” I’m of course mortified. I had seen some in my apartment previously and management had sent someone to spray and I thought it was all taken care of. Turns out that wasn’t the case, they were back with a vengeance and suddenly alongside Nico updates I was receiving roach updates as well. I told Kelli they could end the sit early, my bf could handle my dog and I would totally understand, but they opted to stay. Maintenance came to spray again while I was gone, and now I’m back and they are doing a multi unit attack, but what a nightmare! Kelli and Warren cleaned, took all of the dishes out of the cabinets to wash them, bought traps and just went over and above. TLDR: Great housesitters, can adapt in crisis, go over and above, and take dog great photos! 100/10 can recommend. Hopefully you still had some good times in Austin, and know that many of my neighbors would love to have y’all return to Austin just to hang out!

We are energetic, early risers, enjoy taking walks and spending time with pets.
Donna and Ronnie communicated their ETA and arrived on time. Sawyer and Betsy enjoyed being cared for by Donna and Ronnie. They communicated I received a package and brought it inside. They also accommodated a request to bring in my orchids, I had forgotten to bring them back in after watering. The house was exactly as I had left it, plus linens and towels had been washed, which is greatly appreciated! It was a pleasure having Donna and Ronnie pet/house sit.

Responsible couple will put you at ease by taking care of your loved ones
Julie and Michael were a pleasure. We enjoyed getting to know this couple and we hope they will have an opportunity to sit for us again. Both Junior and Sheba were rather shy with them but eventually warmed up. I would recommend going forward that communication and pics be forwarded more frequently. Pet parents like to see their babies. Plants and kitties were in good health and I appreciated the good care. House was immaculate when we returned. Many thanks.

Hi! My name is Taylor, and I would love the opPAWtunity to meet your needs! :)
Taylor was great! She sent me pictures of Chica everyday and gave her lots of TLC.
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!
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!
Young was the perfect house sitter for us. From the moment you meet her, you can tell she is animal person and is detailed oriented and will take great care of your house and pets. She exudes a peaceful and grounded energy. She was comfortable with each our pets from the high energy dog to the shy skittish cat. She played with the dog in the yard every day and took him on walks. And she was also very attentive to our cats and figured out how to maintain the equilibrium in the relationship between the cats and dog. She is an excellent communicator; she asked questions when our directions weren't clear and kept us updated on the pets. She is also an amazing photographer. She sent us pics of our pets every day that totally captured each of their personalities.
Best house and pet sitters we've ever had! They definitely gave our cat and dog plenty of love and attention.
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 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!
Wow, what a find Justin is! I feel as though I won a lottery. As I was revelling in the communication we were having during his stay, I looked over his profile and realized either that he had updated it during his stay OR I never even read it. I was so impressed with his initial application that described multiple stays taking care of cats in Turkey that I knew he was going to be a great choice. So I'm not sure that I even read his profile or reviews. Turned out...he was more than I could have EVER hoped for. Justin is VERY organized and clear with his communication. Just as--or maybe more--important, he is a poster child for what zeewoi can be: more than just an economical way to get a pet sitter or a place to stay. Justin embraces the barter economy and the opportunity it presents to get to know people. Although we only met the day that I turned the house and my 2 cats over to his care, we had delightful communication throughout his stay. He wanted to be sure he was providing the right care to all living and non-living elements of my home as well as just chat beyond what we'd had an opportunity to cover when we were face to face on the handoff day. Bottom line: I'd have Justin back even if I wasn't going anywhere! I've met a friend. And my neighbors did as well! Oh yes, and my two cats were well looked after, the house was in ship shape, and Justin was able to brief the next sitter in person (I'd had to extend my time away and Justin already had another commitment). To say I felt confident leaving my pets and home in Justin's care is an understatement. Justin is a real adventurer and believer in the power of both human and animal connection. Without a doubt, I would recommend him as a sitter...and a friend! Thank you, Justin for a great example of how to wrestle so much more meaning out of zeewoi.
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!
Cat and Paul were wonderful sitters - our cats were contented and calm when we returned. And the house was spotless. Plus Paul mowed our entire yard including the back meadow - what a surprise! We very much enjoyed visiting with them as well and getting to know them. Highly recommend :)
