Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

"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.
Great pet sitter - took perfect care of our cat and our home. They were super communicate leading up to and during the sit and left our apartment in great shape. I'd absolutely recommend them to any future sitters!
We are thoroughly pleased with and impressed by Daniel's kind, generous, and careful care of our cat and our house. He is a committed and experienced sitter who completely understands his role and responsibilities and also how to gently win the confidence and affection of a pet. He is an excellent communicator, and he kept us regularly up to date on our cat's well being--sending us texts and photos at least once/week as we requested. Our cat who is a little afraid of new people, grew fond of him, and we have returned to a very calm, contented cat. We highly recommend Daniel, and we ourselves would be thrilled to engage him again when the need arises.
Marianna was an incredible house sitter and cat sitter. She gave our property and sweet kitty top notch care. She is kind, easy to communicate with, thorough, etc. Would highly recommend her, you will not be disappointed.
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.
Angel was absolutely the best house sitter we could have hoped for. She is a very warm, open and diligent person and our two cats adored her. She looked after our house and garden with really conscientious care. She won over our very timid cat, Billie, and sent regular photos of both cats looking supremely content which gave us perfect peace of mind. The house was completely spotless on our return and the garden was fabulous... no mean feat since there was a heatwave while we were away and she kept everything watered and in great condition. We would have Angel back at the drop of a hat and cannot recommend her highly enough.
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!
Lindsey watched our cat and dog for a long weekend when we went out of town. She was a very communicative sitter sending frequent pictures and voice notes with updates. She did a great job of following their schedules and giving them attention. The animals seemed to be happy and relaxed when we returned home and I believe Lindsey enjoyed getting to discover all of the eateries our town has to offer. A win-win for everyone!
Greetings Pet People, I am a bit late leaving my review for Kristine who is local to us and has taken care of our kitties Max and Luis a few times this year. After COVID-19 was announced in March, our travel plans came to an abrupt halt. We had to cancel a lot of trips we had planned but decided that it was safe to go camping a couple of times this summer. We called on Kristine as one of our favorite sitters on this site. We discussed safety protocols and agreed to cleaning that we would do to leave the house safe for her to enter. She shared protocols that she had taken with other homeowners and had sound processes to make us feel safe leaving our cats and our home in her care. She even purchased batteries for our automatic cat feeder when it failed to let one of our confused kitties to eat. Kristine is a smart, humorous and a thoughtful person. I would not hesitate to recommend her for your sit. She truly loves animals and taking care of your home. Highly recommended! Thanks Kristine!
Kristine was wonderful again as our local sitter from just down the street. The boys take to her like she is their best friend whenever she comes to sit with them. She sent us photos of them playing, relaxing, drinking water and eating so we knew they were well taken care of. The house and the cats were in excellent shape and excellent hands while we were away. It is wonderful that she enjoys the house and the cats so much and tells us so. Kristine comes with our highest recommendation! Thank you Kristine!
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 overnight at Zeewoi.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least $20 per visit, 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 overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
Silvia is wonderful and kind - she takes the dogs on plenty of of walks and is very knowledgable about animals. Our dog loves Silvia and is ecstatic to stay with her. So much so that she even barks when we randomly walk by her house! I'm happy to highly recommend The Pet Sitter in Florence to trust with your pets.
We visited Florence for a few days, and Silvia was very responsive and accommodating. We needed a dog sitter for a few hours, and she was able to help us out. She was great with our dog, and he was pleased with her. Silvia also shared plenty of photos and videos while caring for our dog.
I had a wonderful experience with Sylvia. She came 3 times a day for a month to walk Mia while I was recovering from a fracture. She made my recovery a little less stressful.
She was puntual to pick up and drop off. Also, she sent pictures and videos of our dog. That was very reassurance.
Silvia is very attentive and precise. Full of concern and scrupulous. We entrusted our kittens to her while we were on holiday and she was really great. He respected their nature without forcing them, he left all the spaces clean, he followed all the instructions regarding food and the management of the house with great responsibility. I absolutely feel like recommending her because we felt very comfortable with her.
I met Silvia through word of mouth from friends, a kind and professional person, prepared and attentive to her work. Despite the initial contact difficulties, due to my work, travel and constant meetings, she made herself available via message or telephone and always looked for a meeting point. Before making an appointment in person and having talked at length about the dog and my various needs, he correctly sent me a price list, confirming the honesty and that the price is not made at the moment. The first impression, at our meeting, was positive, competent and attentive, he asked for confirmation of the information previously acquired, trying to evaluate what I said in the field. He asked me a series of questions to understand the dog's character, its characteristics and its critical issues. Having entrusted the dog, upon his return, I found a positive and relaxed attitude, something that had not previously happened with any other dog sitter. The other dog sitter, a person found in an emergency, an animal lover and at a very low cost, was more of an expense than a saving: he passed himself off as a dog sitter only to make money, he had no qualifications and experience as was found with Silvia and Above all, after a few days of foster care, I noticed that the dog had resumed some vices, which he had now overcome and was always agitated. In summary, before entrusting your animal, make sure who you give it to, check their qualifications and experience because the lowest price does not necessarily mean savings.
Extremely unfair person, Mrs. Silvia was supposed to come these days to meet my dog, she called me two days ago but my phone was busy, well since then she hasn't had five minutes to call me back and my messages were not relevant to what I was looking for and the beauty it's because she even sent me the price list but whoever wants to take the piss I wrote to her that I would call her back the next day to clarify and what did she do instead? He blocked me anyway no problem I just wanted to let you know that there are people and in any case I have already found another person, be careful who you turn to because not all people seem like what they are a more than negative experience
Silvia is a point of reference for us when we have to leave our cats or our dog! Always on time with photos and videos and always very helpful. Absolutely 5 stars for us!
did you remove my negative review about you? How come? Were you afraid that others would read it? it seems right to me that others read it otherwise don't write reviews if you only leave positive ones I just said that you are an unfair person and that you didn't have five minutes to call me back and fix it and in any case I didn't pester you with irrelevant messages, on the contrary my messages were more than relevant, you were the one who was more how rude to me send me the price list and then me are you taking the piss? and no, I'm not a person who takes the piss, I'm sorry but it doesn't work like that for me and it's good that you know it
5 stars deserved, very attentive to the instructions given, we had a great time. Our cats have stress problems resulting from our prolonged absence and the presence of strangers, but this time they didn't have any problems, it's the first time we were able to afford a 10-day holiday. Top
What a wonderful doggy daycare!!! My guy was all smiles in the pictures sent while he spent a few hours here! It is located in the best spot so you can drop off, hit the museums, and pick up! I can’t recommend this place enough for your fur babies! They are so sweet to all the guests and provide a home away from home 😊 …
My dog Buddy had an excellent experience here! They gave him so much love, and he had so much fun with the other dogs! They also sent me lots of pictures of my dog having fun and being loved, which helped me enjoy my trip more. I highly recommend them!
Our dog stayed today at this place, he seemed like he enjoyed it, they even took him for a walk, really great and nice team ! With this dog daycare we could visit museums and all activities in Florence! I recommend! Thanks 👍 (sent pictures to me all day, very pleasant!! (And reassuring)) . …
We were visiting Florence with our two dogs and needed a safe place for our dogs to stay while we visited museums. Tuscan Hounds was the perfect solution! They have two convenient locations within the historic district, took in our dogs on short notice, and treated them great! We had never boarded our 11 month old girls before but Tuscan Hounds kept us updated on their antics which made us more comfortable. They even sent pictures and a card about their first stay in daycare! Thank you so much for making our stay in Florence more enjoyable!
TuscanHound helped me so much as I was traveling alone and needed someone to take care of my Beagle girl to visit a museum in Florence. They even adjusted the drop-off time according to the time slot that was available at the Uffizi. The dog care is situated perfectly as it is in direct reach of the museums. My dog enjoyed a really nice stay, was being walked through a calm area (as she was scared of the hustle and bustle of Florence) and I even received some photos of her stay. Thank you so much, I would totally recommend you to all dog owners.
The TuscanHound is the only place you should board your pets when staying in Florence! The team took such amazing care of our dog Vino, I’m pretty sure vino had a better vacation than we did because of the TuscanHound team! She stayed with Yuli who definitely treated vino like her own. We received so many photos and knew vino was in amazing hands, which eased any worries. Thank you TuscanHound team! We’ll have to come back to Florence just so vino can come back to daycare ☺️
TuscanHound provided a wonderful service for our dog. It was the first time we ever left him with someone. He stayed overnight and TuscanHound « pupgraded » him to the Château service for no extra charge so he could be especially well looked after. They sent regular photos and videos showing him playing in the garden on a water mat and going for a hilltop walk, then relaxing on a big bed. After a long day travelling in our car, it was a lovely break for him !!
We were visiting Florence with our dog and needed a place for him to stay while we are visiting museums. I cant be grateful enough for all the good care that Tuscan Hounds team provided for our dog. He was taken for a walks, met other dogs and was very happy. Apart from having convenient location and taking a good care they also send you an updates about the dog stay and photos. So we as an owners feel calm and secure.
We moved from Florence to the UK and TuscanHound transported our dog Archie by car. We can only recommend their outstanding service. They handled everything from vet visits prior to the travel, through documentation and planning. They made sure that the relocation is as stress-less as possible for Archie, and he actually seemed to enjoy the trip. They made regular stops with 2 overnight stays, many walks and kept him calm and engaged while updating us regularly. Before our relocation we also used their daycare services for several months, and Archie always had a great time. We would like to thank the entire TuscanHound team for their support and professional service!
We are over all thankfull for the perfect caring of our Aussi Beetlejuice. The staff is so lovely and we got pictures during the daycare. He also got an AirTag so we felt absolutely safe. If you are ever in Florenz bring them your Dog. It couldn’t be any better! Thank you so much for everything!
They took good care of my dog, they sent me photo updates which I really appreciated as I was nervous about leaving him.
It was the first time we left our Maltese breed King dog (particularly attached to us) to unknown people and we were delighted! We received constant update messages and photos throughout our stay at the property, we were very very satisfied. Highly recommended!
we discovered this wonderful dog shelter when we went to Florence from Genoa for a hospital visit and, not being able to bring our furry little girl with us🐶, we contacted the owner of the facility who was immediately available and very kind, sending me photos and news to reassure me, which I appreciated it very much. For the next check-ups in Florence I can finally take Daisy with me because I feel comfortable leaving her in their hands.. Thank you so much ❤️ Erika and Daisy🐶
I had to leave Attila my Jack Russel for the afternoon and the night with them. And we had a great time Attila was calm and they are fantastic they kept me updated with messages and photos they were very kind and available for all my requests. I highly recommend it, excellent service and a lot of passion. The shop is also well stocked with quality products. 5 stars because you can't give more
Fantastic Kindergarten! fantastic staff, kind and professional! Our Fanny felt very comfortable and calm. Super highly recommended. we managed to visit Florence with a light heart. Thank you!
We left Pluto and Minnie yesterday. It was the first time I entrusted them to someone, I was so anxious and scared but the owner was magnificent, she updated us several times during the day with photos and messages and my puppies were fine. I recommend this kindergarten 100% Thanks Woof
Ezio and Donatella are fantastic. They looked after Nutella like a princess. Highly recommended. When work is done out of passion it shows. They love our fur babies just as much as we do. Thanks for existing. Nutella and her mother Simona love you.
Here you can breathe love and passion. Inside we can find everything, from clothing to food. The owners are very friendly people always available. The dogs have plenty of space to play.
We left our little dog 🐶 today, so we could visit the museums in Florence. Excellent service, Mrs. Donatella was very kind both by phone when booking and today having met her in person. Thanks again so much! Our little dog had a lovely day, together with other little dogs and we were updated with photos during the day. I recommend without hesitation.
On holiday in Florence, not being able to visit museums with our dog, we decided to entrust Rita to Donatella and Ezio. Marvelous ! They are very knowledgeable and gave so much love to our dog. Another big thank you to them for these two days. Paul, Lucia and Rita 🐶 …
I found their number on Google, I needed a last minute dog sitter, to be able to visit the museums of Florence with peace of mind and without leaving my puppy alone! I thank the owners for their immediate availability and for their passion for animals... I would choose them a thousand times over. Thank you especially for the way you pampered our puppy Denver ❤️
Excellent solution for visiting Florence and its museums and leaving your dog in caring and competent hands. Mini enjoyed some rest away from the infernal heat of the past few days, pampered by the owners and staff who kept us updated on her status with photos and messages. The facility also offers the possibility of collection and delivery to agreed locations within the city. For our convenience, it was brought to the station area at the end of the day.
