Branko was looking after the animals and the house while we were away. He was excellent at sending kind photos and videos of the animals throughout our time away. Nothing was too much trouble and our staff who were on site for some of the time enjoyed having him around. Branko had to cope with some pretty difficult situations regarding our new alarm system which was playing up and some inclement weather that brought in some big storms and brought down power cables. Unexpected power outages on top of loadshedding in South Africa are an added trial to content with. We were able to go away and not worry about anything really and it was so gratefully appreciated.

Natasha (Bianca's sister) and Martina were AMAZING! This is the first time I have had a dog sitter and I was a little apprehensive. However, Natasha sent almost daily photos and videos of our precious bundle, which we really appreciated. Rigby received LOTS of playing and walks, they have a genuine love of dogs. I know Rigby will miss them. In addition, they were excellent at sorting out house issues. They were very calm and efficient at arranging repairs when our washing machine and electric gate decided to break down! After a review, I would normally say, I wouldn't hesitate to use their services again "... however, I am going to pre-book them for next summer! We were very grateful for their high level of professionalism and kindness. Lovely people. Thank you!

As this was the first time we had tried zeewoi, we were a little nervous but we really needn't have been. Rahul & Derisha are a lovely couple who took great care of Bryn and of our house and garden. As soon as Rahul arrived, Bryn put his head in his lap wanting his head stroked and that was all we really needed to see to be able to go off happily on our travels. We would happily welcome them back anytime: thank you Rahul & Derisha.

Bentzy looked after our furry family for us from October 17 to November 8th. All were in good shape when we got home, which is what is most important to us when we have a house sitter. He kept us well supplied with pictures and videos. The house was well looked after. Bentzy also tolerated the idiosyncrasies of our Defender with an open mind.

Sean and Tammi were very nice and were self sufficient. We had a bit of miscommunication which I feel was probably me being unclear and ot specific enough. They had an issue with Molly running off and they remained calm and did everything right. I feel both of us could have communicated better but I feel that it is a learning curve. The most important thing was that our pets were happy and chilled on our return. Thank you Sean and Tammi

Barbara and Andrew were fantastic house sitters. Communication from the beginning was easy and all plans that were made were adhered to. We spent a very happy evening with them before our trip and we knew that we had left both the animals and house in very good hands. They loved taking Wiggins for walks, exploring the local area, and they were intrigued by Totty the Tortoise. They had never looked after a tortoise before but embraced the challenge! The house was left in an immaculate state, the garden was well tended to and a delicious supper was waiting for us on our return. Not only that, but there were flowers around the house and a clean car in the drive. You would be lucky to have Barbara and Andrew as your house sitters and we highly recommend them. We wouldn't hesitate to use them again in the future.

Anneli communicated well in advance and during the house sit. She obviously loves animals and was caring towards our two dogs. The house was clean and tidy on our return. We would be happy for Anneli to house sit for us again.

Sofia and Nicole were excellent sitters to our 2 playful cats (an adult tabby and a BIG Maine coon kitten). They gave us a couple updates daily with pictures, as we requested. They were easy to communicate with before and throughout the entire sit. When we came home, our apartment was tidy (probably neater than we left it!) and our cats were relaxed and happy. They were also kind enough to leave us with some sweet bandanas for our boys. We were super pleased with the quality of care, and would happily recommend Sofia and Nicole to anyone in need of a pet or house sitter!

Shaina was a great sitter for my cat Lionel. She was great with communicating before the sit and was willing to come meet me in person before the sit. She also kept me updated throughout the sit, with photos and little notes. When I returned home the flat was tidy and Lionel seemed happy!

. 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.

Kathryn was amazing. She helped me figure plans out after another sitter dropped out at the last minute and saved the day! My cat and fish were well taken care of, and she was super communicative when my tank had a problem child moment. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, helpful, and caring sitter!!

After seeing the numerous positive reviews, I knew Cung would be an easygoing and professional cat sitter and house guest, and he was :-) Easy communication, prompt updates and clear concern for Boz & Artie's wellbeing, and pictures of cozying up on the couch together all made our time away secure and stress free. Upon returning home, the cats were chill and the apt was left spotless, as though he hadn't even been there.

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.

Catherine was wonderful!  She took care of my cat and house while I was out of town and left and Jack the Cat very and calm and the house in perfect shape which I so appreciate.  I could return home and attend to other things rather than cleaning house.  I would recommend her as a sitter to anyone.  She was easy to communicate with, provided updates and pics of Jack, willing to jump in and assist me as I left or returned.  She has a sweet and warm personality and enjoys what she does with house sitting.   Thank you Catherine!

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.

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.

Steven was a great sitter for our black lab Souris and cat Pinot. They were well looked after and really liked Steven. Our house was in good order when we got back and Steven was kind enough to give us a lift to and from the airport. He was very flexible, arriving day early so we could show him around.
