Trusted, friendly, dependable, animal lover looking for new adventures.
Didn't get to meet Bob but seems to be a nice chap! Left the house clean and tidy and updated me about Gwyn if I needed him to. Gwyn did go missing to our old house whilst we were away, but she had done this on lead up to Bob's stay, hence us getting someone to sit just for few days (usually she'd be fine without sitter) but Bob helped go look for her. Favourite thing about Bob is he's an eco friendly traveller, so we're all supportive of that!

I am a animal lover, love to meet new people and places. Like the outdoors, h
Sandra was an absolute delight to have. She was very easy to talk to and communicate with, she sent frequent updates, and was patient and understanding with both our dogs. You could tell she had experience with all types of dogs and animals as both of my doggos warmed up to her and grew fond of her rather quickly. I would be happy to have Sandra stay with us again in the future. Thanks so much Sandra.

Pet-experienced, responsible woman, 48, longterm sits OK, flexible schedule
We are so grateful that Jacqueline was able to watch Zuma. She (and Sebastian, who accompanied her), were lovely and took full advantage of the local area, while taking Zuma along with them everywhere they went. Zuma was well-taken care of and I can tell she is true animal lover. They even took Zuma to meet his friends in the morning for his daily group play. Our place was left is perfect condition, even better than how we left it! Very little support was needed, she was organized, independent and overly competent.

Two married girls, animal, travels and nature lovers.
Marielle and Blanche are a guarantee. It was not the first time we had them and we cannot thank them enough again. They are very respectful, responsible and reliable sitters. Mila, despite her shyness, felt so relaxed and at ease that she was even laying down with M&B on the sofa, asking for caresses and being brushed. All this was documented with pictures and videos. Marielle has definitely an extra touch with animals and this helps a lot especially if you have shy mates. Our apartment was left perfectly clean, tidy and all the laundry done. Recommended 100%. Thanks a lot for your help and being our sitters.

experienced respectful non smoking women loves taking care of cats and plants
Karin is an absolute delight, second time around she’s sitting my cats and hopefully not the last! Only downside is that my cats like her more than me, that‘s how well she takes care of them! Do yourself a favor and don‘t look any further.

Nature educator with pet experience looking for a quiet stay! :)
Tatjana was a great house sitter. Very kind, reliable and immediately bonded with Skye. She kept the house very tidy and offered to clean even though she only stayed a couple of days. She is also very friendly, responsive and detailed-oriented. She communicated with me regularly. My mind was at ease knowing that Skye was in great hands. l'd definitely recommend her to others.

Joyful, peaceful and reliable house-sitter
This was our first experience of using zeewoi and we hit the jackpot first time! Noelle is kind, open-hearted and easy-going, in fact everything we could have wished for. She communicated very well, both before and during the house-sit, with regular (but not too many) updates and videos so we knew they were all getting on well and our cats were happy. Noelle even managed to win over our shy male cat so she definitely has a natural affinity with felines. The house and garden were well looked after and, as Noelle stayed another night after our return, she kindly made us a delicious supper. We feel very fortunate to have met her and had such a positive first experience with zeewoi. We have no hesitation in recommending Noelle highly and would certainly ask her to sit for us in the future if our plans coincide.

friendly duo ready to spoil your furry pets
My husband, Sugar, and I were so thrilled with Kay’s sit. She took excellent care of Sugar (who isn’t always the most straightforward dog!), sent us plenty of photos/videos, and communicated very well with us before & during the sit. Additionally, she took excellent care of our apartment. We came home to a very clean flat with cookies left out, cleaning supplies stocked, and a very happy dog. We can’t thank or recommend Kay enough. We feel lucky to have had a sitter like her!

Marie came to look after Bruno and I couldn’t have asked for anything more from her. She was very communicative, kind and trustworthy and I could tell that Bruno was very happy, loved and calm with her. Although I really missed Bruno I could rest assured knowing her was being well looked after. Marie left the apartment clean and fresh and I hope she felt at home here. I would highly recommend Marie to anyone looking for an experienced, friendly and organised sitter and I would love to welcome Marie back in the future!

Photography and long walks - with a pup
Melanie took care of Lilli and Lulu, for a bit more than two weeks. While it was clear that Lilli and Lulu liked her and vice-versa, there were a few areas where our expectations weren’t fully met. She managed the dogs with more flexibility than I had anticipated, which resulted in them sometimes spending longer periods alone at home than I was comfortable with. Although our communication during this time wasn't as smooth as I had hoped, I appreciate her effort adjusting the path after feedbacks. I believe this experience was a good lesson learned in following guidelines, securing communication and ensuring the dogs receive the attention they are used
I'm delighted to have found Lisa as a sitter and hope to have her back again! She was detail oriented and clearly cared about my cats' well being. She asked good questions about the cats' routines and needs and about the house to be sure she'd meet my expectations and have a comfortable and successful sit. She communicated very well before and throughout the sit and even though I was unreachable for much of the time I was confident everyone was in good hands. Lisa left the house in immaculate condition and the cats were relaxed and happy when I got home. What a delight!
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
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.
Amber is as good a sitter as you will find anywhere! She treated our cats with such love and care, as if they were her own. She left our house in perfect tiptop tidy shape, and made sure to wash all the towels and linens before she left. She even cleaned out our coffee maker and took up our weekly trash without us even mentioning it! Amber is super kind and personable and we welcome her back to sit for us anytime! If you are looking for a sitter, you should definitely accept her application!
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.
Ruoyi was the perfect sitter for our cat Toni! We would highly recommend her to any pet owner, and hope she can sit for us again in the future. Ruoyi was very thorough - she made sure there was full alignment on all the specifics of her pet duties, and she asked thoughtful questions regarding details we forgot to include in our guide. She always provided us timely updates at the agreed cadence, and gave us a ton of photos. From the photos, it's clear she got in a lot of play time with Toni, which we really appreciated! :) We were able to enjoy our entire vacation stress-free knowing Toni was in such good hands. Ruoyi left our apartment completely clean and offered to wash linens.
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!
Oh wow! Everyone should be so lucky to have Nicholas and Veerle watch their house and pets. These lovely people are pros! They communicated early and often, were super accommodating to some last minute changes (it was originally going to be only our cats to watch but we decided to keep the dog home as well so that added to the schedule and care needs) and they left the house spotless and all set up for another sitter who came in after them. We didn’t get the chance to meet because my departure and arrival times but I dearly hope I get to in the future because they were just great! I even heard how nice they were from My neighbors who say them out walking our dog. :-) They also sent regular pictures of the pets which look like pro-photography! Cannot recommend this couple enough! Your pets and house will be in good hands!
Danny and Jo did a great job caring for our 3 cats and fish AND lots of plants (and home of course) while we were out of town for 3 weeks. We came back to a very clean house, sheets, and towels all clean and folded and fresh sheets on the bed they were using. The plants were all alive too, which is a first for us (again, we have a lot of plants!). The cats were happy to see us and they were all accounted for (a past sitter lost a cat for a week - they escaped outside as a non-outside cat). Everything was in its place and looked great. We received regular updates (via text) with photos of the cats lounging about which was important for us. Danny asked good questions when they visited us before the sit, and when reviewing our pet/house sitting instructions. The only thing we noticed that was different was that our 2 young cats were a little lighter (not necessarily a bad thing) but we understand that being gone for that length of time can be stressful on our furry family, which almost always affects their eating habits. All in all, we would definitely have them again!
Jinnie was an excellent house sitter for me and my cat Felix. Completely responsible and reliable and helpfully flexible. She was willing to work with me as I dithered on whether I was actually going to go on my trip (which was dependent on good weather), and when I finally decided on making my trip one day shorter. House was clean and organized on my return, and, more importantly, my cat was calm and relaxed on my return. I would happily have Jinnie come sit for me and Felix again.
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 for free 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 for free, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
Jacqueline has been amazing with our two elderly cats! Living in different places, we had various cat sitters over the years and Jacqueline is definitely the best we had so far. She spends time and plays with our cats and even brings toys around to keep them entertained, which they enjoy very much (and they definitely expect much more playtime now :-) ) Our cats are much more relaxed when we return - and so are we because we know Jacqueline takes good care of them. She also sends regular picture updates so we know how they are doing. I very highly recommend her!
Jackie is a great Petsitter. She was very nice to my cat and overall provided a good service.
Jacqueline lovingly looked after our cats for ten days and demonstrated her exceptional competence and professionalism. When we first met her, it was clear how expert and committed she is. Her care not only included feeding and cleaning the litter box, but also a variety of games for our cats. She implemented this in a wonderful way. It was particularly gratifying for us as a family to receive regular pictures and videos of our cats from her. We can highly recommend Jacqueline. Thank you very much for your great and loving effort Jacqueline😸
Our cats were looked after for a week. It went great, getting to know each other beforehand was very pleasant. Receive occasional feedback during vacation. Were completely satisfied.
Jacqueline looked after our two cats for 4 days and we would recommend her at any time. While we were away we were kept informed with updates and photos. From the first moment you could tell how experienced Jacqueline is and so we were able to go on holiday completely relaxed. Thank you very much and see you next time 😊
Super great cat sitter! My cats felt completely comfortable and Jacqueline looked after them with a lot of love
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 stars plus!, Animal sitting with a lot of ❤️ Filling up the food bowl, cleaning the litter box, emptying the mailbox... all things that everyone can actually do. But what not everyone has is the direct connection to the animals, the passion and commitment to look after your animal family member with all your heart during your holiday absence. We can only warmly recommend Jacqueline and her pet sitting service to every pet owner, ... at any time and again, MERCI Jacqueline! 😻🏖️ Urs and Chantal Frei, June 2024 Animal sitting service #animalcare
TOP!!! Highly recommended!!!! We were on vacation for two weeks and during that time Jacqueline looked at our cat Vuitton! The regular updates with photos/videos showed us how much he enjoyed his time with her and didn't miss us at all. All-round service that we will definitely be happy to use again! Thank you very much, dear Jacqueline, for your loving commitment!!
Hello My name is Suki and Jacqueline feeds, plays with and does everything else I need. The care has now been extended several times... luckily for my wife and me it's not a problem for Jacqueline. With her flexibility she has taken a lot of weight off our minds - I just think Jacqueline is great... sometimes she reads something to me and she now also gives me the Gudis, which I like best She also makes sure our household runs smoothly. water the plants, get the mail and do other things like that. I just think Jacqueline is great and I'm SO GLAD she's coming to me! My wife and I are thrilled! So MEOW MEOW (thank you very much) Janine & Suki
I can only warmly recommend Jacqueline Portmann's pet sitting service. My cat Momo and I would also give more stars, 5 is not enough! He always looked forward to seeing her and was totally relaxed when I returned. There is no better way for an animal to show that everything is right here. We were happy and grateful to have found such professional and loving care in Jacqueline, dear Jacqueline, thank you very much for everything! Momo greets you from the other world..
