Daniel is simply THE BEST SITTER. We were extremely pleased to have him over for the 2nd time and we actually invited him a 3rd time to come and stay because he is simply amazing. -Daniel is extremely organised and reliable : during the sitting he would constantly update us. -he is super clean and tidy: we consider ourselves very clean but we swear that when we came back home the flat was even cleaner that when we left it! -he is loving with our cat: our cat was so comfortable and happy with Daniel that she constantly slept right next to him for a cuddle. What to say? We felt so relaxed at the idea of having him at home and we would have him back in an heartbeat!! Super recommended! Thank you Daniel ❤️

Kristina came to us for the second time over a weekend to look after our shy cat Tia. She is an absolute cat person and there was an instant spark between her and our cat right from the start. Kristina is a very uncomplicated, relaxed and absolutely trustworthy person. So we were able to start our weekend trip without any worries. We came back home to a happy cat in a very tidy and clean apartment. We recommend Kristina 100% and look forward to her coming to us again in the future.

TOP recommended sitters! Max and Inna were the best - we came back from our trip to a super clean home and our babies well taken care of. They both are lovely people, very responsible and tidy. They even went out of their way to clean up and organize my spice box :D Communication was always easy and we had regular updates about our fur babies. Being so far away travelling, it definitely felt at ease having them taking care of our home. Would definitely have them over again if we have a chance. Thank you Max and Inna! Best of luck!

Aniek & Mark are the perfect sitters. They look after our house and Marvin so well I wish I could book them for every time we go away. Understandably they get booked up with other stays as they really are brilliant. In terms of the house it is so well looked after. It’s probably cleaner when we get home than it was before we left. In terms of their pet care they are amazing. We have a stricht routine and commands for Marvin and they stick to them perfectly. They spend more time going for long walks with him than we have the opportunity to do sometimes. Also at home he gets so much care and attention. I am sure he thinks it’s a holiday for himself too when we get ready to leave and Aniek and Mark arrive. We have only had them sit for us one time before, last May, but Marvin recognised them instantly and was so excited to see them this time when they returned. They are also so good at staying in touch and sending us cute videos of their time in our home and with Marvin. They are both so relaxed, easy to talk to and flexible. Their attention to detail is remarkable as they also remembered my daughter’s birthday. I really hope I get to see them both again soon.

Katja and Matthew are wonderful! They took such great care of Mango. Mango was a little nervous or sad that we were gone at first and Katja was patient with him to help him adjust. Katja and Matthew sent photos and videos of their walks with him everyday. They even did some training with him. They were communicative, helpful, clean, and very caring towards Mango. I would highly recommend them as house sitters and dog sitters.

A great first experience for us with Zeewoi and Renee (and Bert). A great couple with lots of experience sitting houses and watching pets. They both took great care of our cat, sending pictures every day and ensuring he had plenty of attention. They were both excellent with taking care of our house to include watering the garden during the hot weather and taking great care of our hot tub. We returned from our week long family vacation to find an immaculately kept house. They are both extremely personable and we would highly recommend them to anyone in need of a house/pet sitter.

I am happy to have had Felix and Ulrike taking care of Loky. They were flexible to adjust the last minute change of the period for the sitting, and that was very helpful. Loky was happy and relaxed, and the daily updates from them reassured me all is going great. Upon my return, the house was clean and neat.

It was my first time using zeewoi so I was slightly apprehensive, but as soon as I heard from Kendra I knew both my cat and my apartment would be in safe hands. Kendra was great with communicating and coming back quickly, very friendly and clearly experienced with sitter jobs. Whilst staying at my place she sent me regular updates. Once I returned home the flat was spotless. I would highly recommend Kendra and I would certainly use her again. She’s great!

Carole and Ron are excellent cat-sitters! They took very good care of my cat Lola and of my house. I came home to a happy cat and a very clean and tidy house. They sent me pictures of Lola and kept me updated, so that I had a very relaxed holiday. I very highly recommend them as cat- sitters and I would be thrilled if they would come back to sit for Lola again. Thank you so much!

There are not enough words in the English language to express my deepest gratitude to Teresa and all the amazing love and care she showed my sweet cat Milo.

From the moment she met Milo, I knew there was going to be a very special bond. 
He instantly relaxed when he first met and already looked so happy and at peace with her. The bond between the two of them only seemed to get stronger and stronger with every day that I was away.

This two-week trip was so important for me as it was the first real "vacation" I had taken in a few years. I was in desperate need of a mental and physical break and knew that in order to have a true "time off', I needed to feel completely at peace with Milo being well-taken care of.

Well my prayers were answered as Teresa was the "cat whisperer" I was hoping for.

I could not have asked for a better, more compassionate, self-reliant, and intuitive sitter ! 

Teresa was also so diligent in sending me her daily picture and video updates of my cat. With every picture and video I saw, I knew that Milo was so happy being with her and I never worried for one minute while I was away. What a gift !

Teresa was also a serious life-saver for me as literally an hour before I was leaving for my trip, I found out my cat's tracker app was not working and after a few emails and phone calls, we found out the tracker's server was down.

Teresa took the initiative to follow up with getting the tracker to work again which was a HUGE stress-relief for me . She is not only wonderfully savvy with animals but also with technology as well ! 

I feel so fortunate to have Teresa in my life now, not only as an amazing sitter for Milo but also as a wonderful friend for life! 

Thank you, Teresa for everything....

Milo and I so appreciate you .....

Chris and Julia were our very first sitters and are the most perfect house/pet sitters anyone would ever want!!! Julia sent video/pictures of our fur babies everyday and we noticed early on that our animals were very relaxed and happy!! This made our trip so enjoyable and stress free knowing that our animals were safe and being spoiled and loved the whole time. They even trained our dog to sit while her leash was being attached and was able to pet and hold our cat that is somewhat nervous around strange people he doesn't know. When I got back from the trip, the house was very clean along with Julia/Chris had washed the bed sheets, bath towels, vacuumed, dusted etc., and even washed the pet bedding. They also left some SE Asia treats for us to try which so sweet of them. Definitely the perfect house sitters!!!

Sharon and Milton are two of the nicest people I've met in my life. This is my first time having a sitter fly in from out of state and it was so simple, stress-free, and didn't affect any part of me getting ready for my trip, leaving for my trip or returning from my trip. Sharon was very communicative before, during and after I returned. It just couldn't have been more wonderful! If you're considering applicants stop looking  and  choose Sharon and Milton.  They are just delightfully wonderful wonderful people!! They go above and beyond just housesitting and pet sitting! Tidy, clean, respectful down to earth and the most kind and loving people.  I do believe Milton really is a cat whisper!! They slept with my sweet babies, and even  followed silly grooming instruction on one of my cats. Would have them sit for me absolutely anytime.

Jenima is an excellent sitter! She is organized, communicative and flexible throughout the stay. We needed a sitter at the last minute because Jazz got sick, and Jenima saved us. We left a little worried about him, but Jenima took care of him really well and kept us informed. Cats love her! We definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!

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!

Amazing sitters - I feel so fortunate to have had them stay. Chapeau was treated to daily walks and belly rubs, and my cat Tica was overflowing with contentment from having been taken care of so well. The house was cleaner than I left it and I was treated to a nice note and a lovely candle upon my return. Also, they left a checklist of item that they had done while here. Truly above and beyond!

Chris was a fantastic cat sitter for our elderly and high maintenance kitty.  Chris was the perfect combination of responsible and on top of her medication needs while also being calm and relaxed about her picky eating habits and the need to monitor her food and medication consumption.  He was prompt, easy to get a hold of,  responsible, and overall, a great sitter.  I would definitely recommend him and most certainly hope to have him stay with her again.
