Mature, responsible retiree would love to care for your home and fur babies.
This was Debra's second pet sit with us. You will not find anyone more capable and caring. She takes the time to get to know your pet and provide so she can provide customized care based on their personality and quirks. When she noticed that Maggie wasn't eating her food, she bought a different brand to see if that would help. (It did). I think one of the best signs of how a pet has been treated is how they feel when the sitter leaves. Maggie was actually a little blue for a day or so and I think that says a lot.

Caring, experienced health professional wanting pet kisses while traveling . . .
Babette took wonderful care of our senior dog and 2 cats. She asked great questions and gave us really helpful feedback as first time TH users. We loved getting photo and video updates of she and Zelda adventuring at local dog parks. She is thorough, clean and so thoughtful. We look forward to working with her again soon!

Professional Couple, retired, long time homeowners and lifelong pet owners.
Dorothy & Paul house and pet sat for us once before, but that was when we were in a rental house short-term. So, our home was new to them, and there are a lot of features to learn. We had one day overlapping before our vacation and they quickly learned about the idiosyncrasies of our home. They knew our pets and the pets clearly remembered them. Todd was very excited to greet them with a welcoming howl or two, and the cats both wanted to sit on laps and get petted at the same time. It was clear that the cats had been brushed regularly while we were away. Dorothy and Paul took Todd everywhere around the Cape, even when the weather wasn't the greatest for walking. He clearly had a fantastic week under their care. Similarly, the cats, Buddy and Holly, were very happy and relaxed with Dorothy and Paul in their home. And I received photos to see how happy they all were. Dorothy and Paul had to leave before we got home, but we were in regular communication to make sure the transition went smoothly and did not disturb the pets. They did a fabulous job in cleaning the house and many things were cleaner than we had left it for them. We would definitely not hesitate to have Dorothy and Paul house and pet sit for us again. They are a wonderful couple and very caring with our pets and our home.

Donna was an extremely thoughtful, kind, caring and communicative sitter. My pups adored her as do I. She was super reliable, responsible and self-sufficient. Donna made sure I was kept up to date on my boys and sent photos regularly. It was if my dogs barely knew I was traveling. She is super clean (I had to tell her to stop cleaning :-) and does everything you ask (even watered my lawn in the hot FL sun). I consider Donna a friend now as she loves dogs like I do and cared for Finn and Farley as if they were her own. I got the opportunity to share some time with her and she is an absolute joy with a beautiful heart. I cannot recommend Donna enough for your zeewoi sit.

Jeff and Morgan were terrific - adaptable, responsible, and great to work with. They stayed in touch and took care of my fish and plants, including harvesting and freezing from my garden, which was a huge help! I would def have them back!

This is the second time we have had Billye and her son sit for our furry boy. He was so happy to see them! He was wonderfully taken care of, and so was our home! Billye gave us updates a few times per day and cute pictures too. OhSo can't wait to have them back.

Providing security with years of pet, home owner and travel experience
We won the lottery with Debbie and Tom. Not only were they excellent pet and house sitters, but we've made lovely new friends in them. Debbie and I had easy rapport in our first phone call; subsequent text messages made it easy to plan for their arrival. We hung out together before leaving on our trip, and discovered that we have so many things in common. They took top notch care of our cat and our home, texting with questions or sending photos. We look forward to visiting them in Maryland and hosting them again in our apartment. Thanks, guys!

Kelly was a great sitter! She took the time to video chat with me beforehand which put me at ease. Kelly let me know when she arrived & sent pictures throughout the stay. My boy cat can sometimes get anxiety when I am away and he was totally fine for this trip. I would use Kelly again!

Responsible cat caretaker wants to spoil your kitties
Joyce was great company for Mandy while I wad away! She was communicative, checking in daily, and left my apartment clean and tidy. All around a great sitter - I have no complaints!
Hilary was a fantastic pet sitter for our cat - you would be so lucky to have her care for your pet and home. She took exceptional care of her and our home. Hilary played so much with her and took the best care. She was communicative, easy to coordinate with, and left everything super clean for us when we came back. Five stars is understating how extraordinary she was - we cannot recommend her enough!!
. We were absolutely delighted with the care Summer provided for our cats. Without a doubt, she is the best cat sitter we have ever had the pleasure of working with. Her attentiveness and genuine affection for our cats were evident in every interaction. Throughout our holidays, she kept us constantly updated with daily pictures and detailed updates, which gave us immense peace of mind. Additionally, she maintained our house in immaculate condition, keeping everything clean and tidy. This level of consideration and dedication went above and beyond our expectations, and we deeply appreciated her efforts. Summer’s exceptional service made our holiday experience truly worry-free and enjoyable.
If you are fortunate enough to have Anna as your sitter you will have peace of mind that your pets will be in very good hands. Anna is gentle and a natural with animals and seems to understand what they need without words. Willa, our golden retriever and Rosie, our cat were both enamored with Anna. They wanted to be near her, followed her around the house, lay by her feet or on her lap. We enjoyed Anna's company, her conversation, ideas and sense of humor. Lots of laughs! She asks good questions about the pets' needs and routines. She is very appreciative and is a compassionate person. We did not want Anna to leave!
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!
Best house and pet sitters we've ever had! They definitely gave our cat and dog plenty of love and attention.
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!
Catherine was a wonderful sitter for our 17 year old cat Zabba. She sent us pictures twice a day and kept us informed about Zabba’s daily activities. We came home to a clean home and would definitely recommend her as a pet/ house sitter. My only concern was that she doesn’t drive and with an older cat, I just prayed that Zabba didn’t need to go to the vet…. And he didn’t 🥰. We will ask her again for sure.
Caroline is an amazing sitter ! We were far away, had never left our cat for such a long period of time and we felt really confident with her. She took great care of our cat Honey as well as she did for the house, pool and garden. She was even able to handle the end of the refection of the bathroom which was a last minute surprise… We felt Caroline was reliable and self sufficient. We had a great communication with her during our stay abroad. We even found many nice intentions when we came back from our vacations such as fresh fruits and bakeries for a nice and welcomed breakfast after a night in a plane ! We definitely recommend Caroline for your sittings and we will obviously call her back !
We couldn't have asked for better sitters than Pares and Mark. Since our initial contact, it was straightforward to communicate with Pares. We were lucky enough to get a chance to meet Pares with our dog Luna, and Luna got along with her immediately. During our time away from home, she kept us informed about how both our dog and cat were doing, and they were both cuddling with her since the first day. We got a lot of pictures and knew that they were safe and happy. The apartment was exactly as we had left it when we came back. Pares and Mark even ran the dishwasher and the washing machine for us. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter, and it made our trip very easy knowing they were taken care of so well. We'd have Pares and Mark back to our home without any hesitation.
