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.
Florence and Robert were outstanding sitters. We asked them to arrive a day early as our guests to learn the routine on our farm. In getting to know them we found them to be good hearted, down to earth people with a love of animals and diligent in learning our routines to care for our poultry, cats and dog as well as our garden and orchard. Not a typical or easy sit. We travelled with ease knowing our critters were being well taken care of. Arriving home, the house was very clean and looked well cared for. The animals were healthy as were the garden and orchard. Out pets missed them when they left – our dog stared down the driveway after them until their car was out of sight. It is nice to find sitters we would like to hang out with and we look forward to having them sit for us again.
We were very lucky to have had Nia for our recent house sit. She communicated well before the sit and arrived as planned. We shared a meal before we left which gave us time to get to know her and tell her about the house and our pets. After we left it soon became clear the cats loved Nia and the attention she gave them. We were kept informed throughout her stay with regular updates and video clips of what they were up to and how the garden was growing etc. We highly recommend Nia as a pet/house sitter and we would certainly have her back should the opportunity arise. Thanks again Nia
Kerry and Megan were wonderful sitters and took great care of our two cats while we were on vacation for two weeks. They were responsive, gave us regular updates, and seemed to really care about Tumba and Cappa. When Tumba was more timid toward the beginning of our trip and not eating her meals fully, Kerry was sure to ask for additional suggestions from us on how to coax her to eat more. Kerry and Megan also left the house just as we'd left it for them. We really appreciated them going the extra mile to ask about additional cleaning products so they could clean our bathrooms. It felt great to come home and just relax without needing to remake the bed. Thanks for everything, Kerry and Megan! We would certainly entrust our home and kitties to you again in the future.
Toby and Chloe were one of the best house sitters we have ever had! As a small animal vet I have seen many types of pet sitters and these guys are top notch. Our pets are not easy either. We have special needs dogs, cats on medication, dogs with behavioral issues, horses, chickens, goats and a large (100 lb) Sulcata tortoise who needed close monitoring of the temperature in his barn. Everyone was thriving and happy when we came home. They read through the packet and asked thorough, thoughtful questions. They went above and beyond grooming, mucking and grazing the horses and goats everyday. They chopped greens and fruit daily for our tortoise. If we had known how amazing they were we would have booked a 3 week trip instead! Can't recommend them enough.
We can not exaggerate the care and love Juliet and Laurent gave to our cat, Piero, during his the last few weeks of life. While we left for our trip thinking he merely had a bladder infection, his symptoms turned for the worse a weeks into their sit and later revealed he had cancer. No one would wish their sitter to need to hospice their cat but Juliet and Laurent showed such compassion for Piero and volunteered to be with him when we made the decision to put him down. It was an emotional time for all of us and we will be forever grateful to our two caring cat and house sitters. We have had many fantastic housesitters through zeewoi but Juliet and Laurent top the list. Their professionalism, constant communication and compassion were exceptional. Should you have the opportunity to have them in your home, do not hesitate to book them, you will have no regrets. We do, however, regret that they had such a short time with Piero and had to experience such a painful event.
If you are looking for someone to take care of your fur babies and your house while you're away, Daniel is your guy! I had discovered zeewoi just a couple of weeks before I was to leave on vacation and I was not only apprehensive if the website was too good to be true, but also under a real time crunch. I reached out to over 100 local sitters and several possibilities fell through. I was confident I would find the right sitter and when Daniel applied for the sit and I started to text and converse with him, I knew I had found the perfect sitter for my two cats! Daniel was upbeat and positive, articulate and personable, warm and caring, and he asked all the right questions about Lilly and Eli (I hadn't had the time to complete my Welcome Guide, yet!?!). I shared that I had an easy cat and problem cat -- Lilly, who is sweet, social and eats dry food, and Eli who is skittish, was periodically pooping outside the kitty litter box and was eating prescription canned food twice a day mixed with a probiotic and stool firmer. I asked if he thought he was up for the job and he happily said he was. Since he flew all the was from Chicago, I thought the least my husband and I could do was pick him up at the airport. When he arrived, he pulled out his notebook. He patiently walked with me as I reviewed kitty care, showed him around the house, and where he would be sleeping. He immediately picked up Lilly who was excited about meeting her new friend and Eli bugged out and down the stairs to the basement (his favorite hiding place!). We got Daniel connected to the internet, set him up at our dining room table and headed off to airport, leaving our house and kitties in the best of hands. Daniel wanted to make sure I felt comfortable and assured while we were away. He made sure to text with me every other day (he had asked my preference earlier), sent photos of Lilly being her cute self while Eli hid during the day although he gave me assurances that he was eating his food and using the litter box (there were a few accidents, but Daniel never complained about these additional duties). When we returned from our vacation, the house was also spotless and well cared for and Daniel had even washed the sheets for me! It is with utter happiness and complete confidence that I recommend Daniel as a fantastic Sitter. He is trustworthy, responsible, caring, and competent, and you can rest assured that both your house and sweet pets will be watched over and treated with TLC -- and will truly be in the best of hands while you are away!
Heidi was an outstanding cat sitter for my Luna! She was very communicable via calls or texts. She followed all my guidelines for feeding and care of Luna. Luna was very content when I arrived home thanks to Heidi! My home was immaculate when I arrived and she did some snow shoveling. She even pulled a large broken tree branch off my roof following a windstorm. I hope Heidi is available for my next trip because she is awesome. Jim
Caroline was a fabulous sitter and looked after our cat and the house beautifully. She is sensible and very self-sufficient but also kept us informed. We came home to a happy cat and a tidy house. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others and hope she will sit for us again in the future!
Pennee and Bill were the BEST pet sitters and guests ever! I really wanted them to stay forever ! Our cat, Miss Kitty bonded so much to them, that she really wasn’t that happy to see me when I got home .Our cat is a finicky eater and they tried all different types of food and treats for her. They sent me regular photos of miss kitty and I knew everything was great when most of the pics had miss kitty on their lap. Our cat doesn’t take to many people but she immediately fell in love with them. Pennee sent us our mail and prescription meds on a regular basis , and went out of her way to take care of any issues . They fell in love with the neighbors and community and just made our lives so easy . We experienced the Covid 19 virus outbreak quarantine during this time and Pennee and Bill agreed to stay a month longer at our home . They were extremely flexible with their travel plans so that everyone would be safe. Upon our arrival home, we were greeted with a bouquet of flowers , beautiful hanging basket of flowers for outdoors and a beautiful bottle of wine . And our house had never been cleaner ! Bill and Pennee are a pet owners dream couple !I felt extremely lucky to have found such a great petsitter and new friend . We will be visiting each other in the future .
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!
Amazing! Truly highly recommended! Gaelle is very attentive and the guidance she is giving us is priceless. My dog is learning a lot about better socialization and better behaviour (and so are we to better guide our little terrier :-) ). We started with courses at home and now my dog is part of the walks and clicker trainings. Really glad to have found Gaelle.
Great feeling with dogs, really passionate and will help you to create a great relationship with your dog.
An incredible educator! Despite some difficulties, she was able to find the best solutions to adapt her course to the character of Darko (Malinois cross husky) 😅 both individual and semi-collective courses are rich in diversity and adapt to the needs of each dog. She knows how to pass on her knowledge, which allowed me to better understand my dog and thus ensure that his training is a success. I saw a gradual and positive evolution in my dog's behavior, thanks to his individual lessons and an improvement in socialization with other dogs during the semi-group lessons. I highly recommend. Thank you very much Gaelle!
My little puppy and I have been followed by Gaëlle for three months now in private lessons as well as in group lessons... and it is really top-notch care because it is very complete. During private lessons Gaële offers an approach centered on the needs of the dog but also of its owner. She is very attentive to the questions and problems that we encounter and organizes lessons accordingly. Her analytical mind, her understanding and her kindness allow us to move forward in a much more serene way in this great adventure and for that I will never thank her enough 🙏 As for the group lessons, they allow a great work of socialization with conspecifics of all ages. Gaëlle always offers fun activities but at the same time very thoughtful and well thought out. Her energy and humor make it a real pleasure to work with her. A huge thank you dear Gaëlle 🐶❤️
I did private and group lessons with Gaëlle for my border collie. I find that his ease in understanding my dog's sensitivity, behavior and character was extraordinary. I particularly appreciated the private lessons which taught me a lot in the education of the puppy who was 2 months old. In particular, she taught him to manage his frustration with constructive advice. Furthermore, Gaëlle was really available in addition to being attentive and friendly. I can only recommend it! Katelijne and a paw of Luna.
We were followed by Gaëlle in private education lessons to our greatest satisfaction. Very good first initial contact, during which we were able to present our puppy, our needs and define the needs of which we were not yet aware. Tailor-made courses, combining theory and practice, as well as tips and exercises to work between classes. A very good teacher, Gaëlle allows us to acquire the right reflexes, the right way to position ourselves “positively” and to better understand our dog. I learned a lot and am convinced that the quality of my relationship with my dog will benefit from these courses throughout our lives!
I had the pleasure of following an introduction to nosework. Gaëlle is a very competent instructor who masters her subject and who was able to guide me step by step to get started in this fascinating discipline. My dog and I had a great time and we will take lessons again without hesitation.
Classes with Gaëlle are a pleasant time, for both dogs and owners! When she sees her, my dog wriggles but quickly refocuses: she knows that Gaëlle is there to help us in daily education, as well as in leisure activities (tricks and nosework in this case) and it's a pleasure to see Kobe vacillating between joy and seriousness of the course. As for me, I am progressing thanks to his caring support, learning the subtleties of positive education and reading my dog. I would recommend Terra Educanis to anyone who is looking to adopt a puppy or is unsure about an adult dog. Gaëlle also knows her limits well and is quite capable of redirecting you to colleagues according to their specializations, do not hesitate to ask for an assessment before committing!
Great educator! Gaëlle is a beautiful person and has incredible contact with our animal friends (and their masters too). It's always a pleasure to do lessons with her and our little border collie Nahia is progressing very well thanks to her lessons. I recommend with my eyes closed!!
Great education and olfactory research course with our dwarf dachshund Rava for over a year in the field in Plan les Ouates or on walks in Bernex. Very good relationship with Gaëlle and her dog Fanta who is adorable and who sets an example for Rava. We really recommend the education classes with Gaëlle and all her advice helps us every day in our relationship with our dog.
Milena is beyond amazing - hands down the best at what she does! We have been using her boarding services for a while now - leaving our Shiba Inu (Akila) with her for extended periods. She is always so caring and loving, making sure that the dogs feel right at home. I cannot recommend her enough!! Thank you Milena for taking such good care of Akila!
I recently entrusted the care of my dog to Milena, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Milena is truly an expert in dog care, and my dog was pampered like he was at home. From the first meeting, I was impressed by his professionalism. She asked many questions to understand my dog's specific needs, diet, play preferences, etc. This gave me great peace of mind. During the babysitting period, Milena regularly shared photos and videos of my dog having fun, which allowed me to stay in touch and see how happy he was. She also respected the care plan we established together, which was very important to me. In addition to providing excellent care, Milena also demonstrated flexibility. She was accommodating with my dog's pick up and drop off times which made the whole experience even easier. I highly recommend Milena to anyone looking for a high quality dog sitting service. My dog had a wonderful stay and was treated like family. I will not hesitate to call on her in the future. Thanks again for everything!
A person with a huge heart. Who loves dogs very much. She took care of my mom's dog to walk him 3 times a day. Great person! Who didn't hesitate to spend time with my mom as well when she came by. I really recommend 200%.
Excellent professional! She has a special gift for working with dogs. She immediately puts them at ease. I was very happy to find her and trusted her to work with my dog 🐶 Thank you very much! I highly recommend his services 👍👍🐕🐩
My dog loves it madly and she loves it back. I'm really happy she's working with my furball! A trustworthy person who is passionate about his work. Highly recommended! Thank you so much !
Thank you for everything, my cats were spoiled! Very good contact and adorable with the animals, I will keep your phone number carefully for next time!
Awesome!!! Reliable and professional person!! Can confide my sweetheart to him with a closed eye. Very warm and welcoming!! A pleasure to have confidence :)
Thank you very much! 🌹 …
It's been 6 months that our “Lady” like us has benefited from the services of Garderie Caniscout several times a week. First of all I would like to write that Ysaline has great professional ethics; always respectful, caring, loyal and very competent. Every day, she provides a very high quality, responsible, communicative and trustworthy service. Our “Lady” is pampered, and happy to spend these days with Ysaline because it is sharing with these peers, walks, games and growth (evolution). For us it's serenity and happiness to see her come home happy and very tired from the long, different and beautiful walks offered. We are very pleased and recommend Caniscout 1000%.
We left our cocker dog with her for a visit to CERN. Everything OK! He brought it straight back to where we were.
Great feedback, I leave my dogs with him with complete confidence, knowing that they will have a great time
Too good
Romane is not only professional, diligent and accommodating, she is also caring and gives a lot of attention to my old dog who needs someone with experience. Thanks again! Lorraine
Excellent service, cat made very happy. I recommend and will definitely take two visits per day next time.
Romane, the founder of Happy Animal's, is undeniably passionate about animals, she knows how to give them affection, attention, gentleness and they return it well! She is available, professional and attentive. I initially chose her company because she had training as a veterinary assistant, telling me that if there was a problem one day she would be able to notice it and that is exactly the case, every time she notices a change or anything strange she lets me know immediately (I have 2 dogs and 2 cats so it happens 😅), she follows up with the vet, takes them to the kennel/cat flap , walks them well obviously and even takes them and picks them up from the groomer. She is also there to look after our animals at home when we are on a short trip (generally less than a week). In our family the most important thing is availability and above all reliability, Romane is never absent and always on time. Honestly I don't know what we would do without her, I can only highly recommend her!! Thank you Roman!
Extraordinary girl with animals! My dog loves her so much and he is so happy to go for a walk with her! I highly recommend it and trust it blindly!
Romane loves dogs who do him well. His availability is also very appreciable.
Best pet sitter in Geneva 😻 I would entrust my animals to her with my eyes closed, I know that they will be pampered and that they will be well taken care of …
