Gortahork, Ireland
Couple with experience (one is a vet) ready to love your pet & home.
Catia and James were exceptional sitters! Most importantly, they looked after our pets as if our dog and cat were their own. They took the time to understand exactly what our animals needed and followed through with all our requirements. Our dog Nikka who can tend to be anxious, felt comfortable with them almost right away due to their calm/gentle demeanor. We were kept updated through numerous messages, photos and videos and we know our pets got lots of attention, exercise and love. Our house and pool were well kept. As sitters, Catia and James were friendly, thoughtful, reliable and very helpful. We would highly recommend them to others.

Combining travel and and my love of caring for animalS
Carol was a wonderful house sitter! We were very happy to get to meet with her a few weeks before her sit for us, since she was already in town, and we did a little tour and she got to meet the cats. Despite dealing with some personal family issues while we were away, Carol was an attentive house sitter and she sent us regular updates about the cats. Our house was very clean and tidy when we got home, which made for a lovely homecoming. The cats were clearly happy and had been well taken care of. We'd be happy to host Carol again any time!

Responsible travelling couple caring for your pets anywhere in the world.
Sharon and Dave were terrific sitters for the house and Rosie. The sit was incredibly straightforward to organise, they kept in touch regularly, sent me plenty of updates and generally set my mind at rest throughout the process. One of the main reasons I selected them for the sit was the number of sits they'd already completed and the glowing reviews they received. Their experience and ease with the whole process showed, and I can also see why they got so many great reviews. Rosie looked to be having a whale of a time throughout their stay, and I had messages from other people I knwo in the town saying they'd met Sharon and Dave out and about and that Rosie seemed very happy and well-cared for. The house was spotless upon my return with all the laundry already on; Rosie had been given a bath and I had not a moment's concern about any aspect of the sit. Thank you Sharon and Dave, you're welcome to come back and mind Rosie again any time.

Crawford and Pearl (Irish)
Pearl and Crawford were a gift from the gods. I returned home to a yard that was soooo clean and tidy, immaculate paddocks and happy, healthy, chilled horses... and dogs. Every horse owner's dream. When faced with an unforseen crisis, they went above and beyond to deal with it.. keeping me informed at all times. They were exemplary house sitters, and are lovely people to boot! I don't hesitate to recommend them, and sincerely hope that they return... 🤞

Exploring more of the UK! We are outdoorsy and love the calm of the countryside!
Pat and Grace have just completed a sit for us. They are a charming couple and immediately filled us with confidence that our pets and home were in good, safe and competent hands. They were well organised, communicative, responsive and clearly enjoyed taking the dogs for good wholesome walks as well as a suitable balance of love and affection. They move on to another sit with our gratitude and confidence they will provide the same level of support. I have no hesitation recommending them to anyone looking for a competent young couple. Many thanks and good luck with you future lives in Aus. Best regards Angus

Animal loving couple excited to take care of your pets and home!
Michaela and Caolan went above and beyond for us. One of our dogs had unexpected surgery mere days before our trip. M & C unhesitatingly agreed to go ahead with the sit, handling meds and extra care. They were responsible and loving with our 2 dogs and 1 cat; we never doubted that our pets were in good hands, and our house was spotless when we returned. We're grateful to Michaela and Caolan, and we enthusiastically recommend them.

As always 100% from Rosaline…a great person to care for your pets & home.
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
We are thoroughly pleased with and impressed by Daniel's kind, generous, and careful care of our cat and our house. He is a committed and experienced sitter who completely understands his role and responsibilities and also how to gently win the confidence and affection of a pet. He is an excellent communicator, and he kept us regularly up to date on our cat's well being--sending us texts and photos at least once/week as we requested. Our cat who is a little afraid of new people, grew fond of him, and we have returned to a very calm, contented cat. We highly recommend Daniel, and we ourselves would be thrilled to engage him again when the need arises.
Susan and Miranda are amazing! I've had the pleasure of working with many sitters and they are truly exceptional. They were great at keeping in touch, sent lots of updates, asked good questions, really bonded with the cats, clearly very experienced working with animals and understanding their needs, and generally lovely to deal with. They were really patient putting up with a whole bunch of deliveries and even assembled a spare bed! They also left the place spotless with clean sheets on the bed. I'm pretty sure the cats loved Susan and Miranda more than us by the end of their stay! I'd highly recommend them to anyone and would love to have them stay again any time.
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.
I thoroughly enjoyed working with Kathryn! I needed to extend dates for the sit after we had set it up and she was able to accommodate this so was actually here from 10/4-20. She was timely and communicative throughout - and she is a very nice person. She kept the house really tidy and followed all instructions well. My cats took to her quickly. When I returned, they had been very well cared for and seemed fully content even though I'd never left them for long before. While away, I reached out to Kathryn by text several times regarding deliveries, etc. She was very prompt in responding and adept at handling issues as they arose. I highly recommend Kathryn as a house sitter - and would happily work with her again!
Tracy was an ideal pet sitter when we left for 12 days. She was communicative, friendly, and most importantly took perfect care of our two cats and our house. I would highly recommend her for any sit!
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.
Tonya was great and filled in after our other sitter had to cancel. She was very self sufficient and navigated acclimating herself to everything since she arrived after we left. She gave thoughtful updates on my cat and I could tell she really enjoyed her, so that means the world to me! She left the place immaculate and we will certainly have Tonya back!
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 .
