Let us spoil your pooch!
Lynn and Jim were absolutely incredible!!! If you get the chance to have them stay with your fur-babies, jump at the opportunity! They were excellent at communicating right from the start and sent such wonderful pictures & updates throughout their entire stay. They cared for our two pups so well, giving them all the love, attention and exercise they could ask for :) I love that they included them on their dog-friendly adventures, and know that our pups were having just as much fun (if not more 😁) with them as we were on our trip. Our home was spotless when we arrived back. They took excellent care of everything 😊 We are so grateful for Lynn and Jim, and would love to have them here again if they're ever back in WI. Thank you again, Lynn and Jim!!!

Responsible and reliable mature couple looking to care for your pets.
Jessie and Chris are wonderful, interesting people, and took great care of our princess Shanti and our home. Communication before and during was spot-on. The pics of Shanti were terrific! We will gladly invite them for future sits as opportunities arise.

Professional couple taking care of your home & pets as you do.
This was the second time Audrey (and her husband Kurt as well, this time) stayed with Millie, and it was so seamless, with frequent brief notes and photos reminding me of how lucky Millie was to get such attention. My plants were well-tended to and the house was left spotless. If Audrey and her husband Kurt apply to housesit for you, you should grab that chance - they are so wonderfully caring and responsible.

Retired animal lovers looking to explore new areas
Michael and Faye were absolutely fantastic guests and took wonderful care of Whiskey and our home. They kindly arrived the evening prior to our departure and spent time with Whiskey that evening and the next morning to ensure they were well-versed on feeding, walking, etc. They provided regular updates and took Whiskey on several adventures during their stay. We would happily have them back in the future.

Kind, professional, and clean sitter excited to care for your pets and home
I was so happy that I found Julianna to dog sit for me. I would 100% recommend her to everyone. She is everything you could ask for in a dog sitter. She asked the right questions so that she could be prepared and overall put me at ease throughout my vacation. She is also very pleasant and easy to talk to! She is clearly experienced with dogs. My dog took a liking to her the moment she walked in. She fed him on time, spent ample time with him (he is a small, needy yorkiepoo), and even took him to the office. She sent us daily updates on the situation at home and it was clear from the pictures that my dog was having a good time. She was quick to respond when I contacted her while I was on vacation. She even cleaned the apartment before she left. My dog was happy and healthy when I got back. I would definitely use her again!

Traveling Young Professional Who Loves Animals!
For travelers, there is nothing as precious as the peace of mind you get when you have fabulous housesitters! Carolanne and Robbie were our first zeewoi and it could not have been a more wonderful experience! In the past when we’ve arrived home from trips it sometimes seems as if our pets act a little funky and nervous for the first couple of days. I always know when a sitter has taken wonderful loving care of our pets when they seem calm and content and happy to see us when we get home! Both pets, super excited to see us, seemed happy and at peace… Although I think our dog misses his new friends! It was great meeting Carolanne and Robbie the night before we left and getting to know each other. An active and keen couple, they were very communicative, took our dog’s medical needs very seriously and responsibly, cared for our home as if it were their own, and obviously gave our pets lots of love, attention and exercise and adventure! It sounds like they all had a wonderful time here in Alaska and we wouldn’t hesitate to have them stay again!

Your Furrygodmother: Professional Pet Sitter with elder animal care experience!
We were so pleased again with Amy’s services for watching Benji and our house over a 3 week period. We got updates, photos and videos regularly and we knew Benji was in good hands, and that he has come to accept Amy as family. We came home to a spotless home and our plants were well cared for and thriving. We look forward to using Amy for future sitting opportunities.

Responsible, trustworthy animal lovers.
Dan and his partner Martha were great dog sitters for my pup Rooney. They came with their super sweet pup Keepher, who quickly became best buds with Rooney. They were flexible coming and going which was super helpful with travel delays. They were communicative while I was away and left the place clean and tidy. After spending a few hrs with them in the beginning, I felt super comfortable leaving, knowing they could handle anything and were responsible pet owners themselves. This piece in particular was super helpful for me. I knew they would care for my dog as well or better since they had their dog with them... I would totally recommend them (including Keepher) to sit for anyone !

Responsible and reliable writer & cat care specialist
Kate was an AMAZING cat sitter, and a wonderful house sitter! She took excellent care of our two cats while we traveled overseas for a month. She really understands cats' ways and needs and went above and beyond in making sure they were safe, happy and stress-free in our absence. She sent pictures, and stayed in communication (at my request). She left the house clean and in great shape. We couldn't have found a better fit for our needs. Kate is mature, responsible, attuned and knowledgeable about cats -- plus, she's just a lovely person. We're delighted to have met her. We highly recommend her as a pet sitter for your animals.

Responsible, young professional.
Wesley was our very first exposure to zeewoi and he certainly did not disappoint! What a great experience. We felt safe being gone for almost 20 days while our Leo was in excellent hands. Wesley was excellent at communicating, sending photos of Leo and even describing some of their activities, which made our vacation that much better. He also shared with us that he was enjoying the town and our restaurants which made us happy to know he was doing well himself. Wesley, not only kept Leo happy and well exercised (our mail man said they walked as much as he does every day!) but he also kept our plants alive and kept the house spotless. He even went as far as washing his linens and remaking his room! Definitely a star pet sitter, and I certainly hope he will consider staying with Leo again.
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!
I was fortunate to have Hillary return for a second sit. She took excellent care of both my cat and my home. She got on well with my neighbors and even allowed my friend to come visit Suley while she was there. I especially appreciate how flexible and accommodating she was regarding arrangements for a sitter who would be taking over for the second part of my very long absence. All in all, Hillary is a gem!
Kristi was an absolutely incredible sitter -- I think our favorite one ever! She was easy to communicate with, kind and personable, and took great care of our pets and our house. It was the first time we had left both our dog and our cat with a TH sitter and Kristi went above and beyond. She was very self-sufficient but provided fun updates and pictures and our pets loved her. Highly recommend!
Sabre is a sweet, honest person who stepped up at the very last moment (after the prior sitter flaked out) to watch our dog and cat for 17 days. When there were a couple minor accidents, she informed us of them right away. One involved a burnt pan (easy to do if you’re not familiar with an induction stovetop) which she offered to replace. Sabre also washed the towels and sheets, and made up the bed before we got home. The yard was pooper scooped and litter box was clean. Pets seemed well-cared for. When she had to leave town for several hours one day, she made sure to arrange for our neighbor take care of the pets. Additionally, I appreciated how she didn’t assume that it would be ok to bring her cat. When we found out she was going to keep her cat in a kennel during her stay here, we told her she could bring him which worked out fine. Overall, I would confidently recommend Sabre to watch your pets and house.
strongly recommend Christine and Phil to housesit for your kitty. Our pets, Babbles and Cousin Eddy, and property, were in very good hands while we where away for two weeks. They had a fair amount entailed with two cats on different food and needs. Cousin Eddy, or Edoardo, is a barn cat we recently adopted. Eddy is very sweet and stays outside but hangs out the side door wanting to be petted and fed; Bubbles is an indoor cat. Both cats were spoiled by Christine and Phil! Christine and Phil were also very caring and attentive with the needs of our Airbnb guests. During the time we were away they kept us updated daily (including photos of the cats). When we came home, our house was perfect, with lovely fresh flowers, notes for us, and our cats had been well-cared-for. They are wonderful house sitters, and we highly recommend them. They were Five-star sitters of our house and cats!
Windy & Dustin are some of my top go-tos! They are wonderful sitters who I can trust to take care of my cats and goats and love them like their own! They are so respectful of my house and are always flexible with me when plans change last minute.
Laura came across the country to sit for us. She arrived a day early and from the moment my pets met her our Lokie was smitten. We have one shy cat Luna and she was out and about on the first night. Laura kept us updated and shared her Adventures as well. We do live in a small hideaway of a town so seeing that she was able to enjoy herself was nice. We returned to a clean home, laundry done also, and very content pets. Lokie was sad for a few days as he missed his friend. We would recommend Laura as a sitter to anyone and would have her back again. 5 plus stars. ⭐
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 :)
Caroline was a fabulous sitter and looked after our cat and the house beautifully. She is sensible and very self-sufficient but also kept us informed. We came home to a happy cat and a tidy house. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others and hope she will sit for us again in the future!
