Providing Pet Sitting in the Greyton, South Africa
Adventurous, active, retired travelers missing their furry friends
Evelyne and Peter were absolutely wonderful in every way. We really appreciated their relaxed and confident attitude and felt completely at ease leaving our three beloved cats in their care. On our return our house was left in immaculate condition. I hope that in future they will be able to sit for us again. I can highly recommend them.

Friendly & responsible animal-lover looking for adventure!
I recently had the pleasure of having Mieke as my house and pet sitter, and I can't recommend her highly enough. From the moment she arrived, she was incredibly reliable, arriving on time and ready to take on the responsibilities. We were busy building on the property, and she even managed deliveries of building material! Throughout her stay, she maintained a neat and tidy home, which I truly appreciated. She communicated effectively, providing regular updates (and photos) about my pets and ensuring I felt at ease while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cares for animals, as my pets were happy and well cared for. I would absolutely love to have her back for another house sit in the future. Thank you, Mieke, for your exceptional service!

I love living "everywhere" and need some pets to spoil.

Zudem ist sie eine unkomplizierte wie auch sehr sorgfältige Bewohnerin, die alles so hinterlässt, wie sie es vorgefunden hat. Wir freuen uns auf den nächsten Einsatz von Marianne im Juni. Olga Tucek und Teresa Dawson Not exaggerated: Once Marianne - always Marianne! She is a passionate cat lover, has cat experience, empathy and an attentive way of caring. In addition, she is an uncomplicated as well as very careful resident who leaves everything as she found it. We are looking forward to Marianne's next assignment in June. Olga Tucek and Teresa Dawson

An animal lover, looking to solo travel the world.
We loved having Hannah look after our two dog and cats. Our dogs had special needs as one is too keen to engage with all dogs and needs to be on a lead and the other who gets scared of bigger dogs and needs to be kept away from them. She handled them brilliantly and seemed very understanding about their behaviour. The flat was left very tidy and clean too which was a bonus. Wouldn’t hesitate to have her back.

Trustworthy, non-smoking and animal-loving couple
Anneli and Barry were outstanding house/pet sitters. They stayed in our home while we were on an extended (6-week) trip away. They were very organized and responsive before, during and after their sit. They took excellent care of our home and our kitty. When we returned, our little fur-baby was as happy as could be and the house was in pristine condition. I would not hesitate to ask them to house sit for us again and would gladly recommend them to others.
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.
Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!
I was fortunate to have Hillary return for a second sit. She took excellent care of both my cat and my home. She got on well with my neighbors and even allowed my friend to come visit Suley while she was there. I especially appreciate how flexible and accommodating she was regarding arrangements for a sitter who would be taking over for the second part of my very long absence. All in all, Hillary is a gem!
Young was the perfect house sitter for us. From the moment you meet her, you can tell she is animal person and is detailed oriented and will take great care of your house and pets. She exudes a peaceful and grounded energy. She was comfortable with each our pets from the high energy dog to the shy skittish cat. She played with the dog in the yard every day and took him on walks. And she was also very attentive to our cats and figured out how to maintain the equilibrium in the relationship between the cats and dog. She is an excellent communicator; she asked questions when our directions weren't clear and kept us updated on the pets. She is also an amazing photographer. She sent us pics of our pets every day that totally captured each of their personalities.
Hannah and Joseph housesat our three kitties for a week and a half while we were traveling for the holidays. They were very communicative and conscientious. We received daily updated on our cats with cute and funny pictures. When they noticed our 17yo cat, Amber, wasn’t eating very much, they let us know and we were able to resolve the problem quickly. They were also very resourceful and understanding when we ran out of some cat supplies. Hannah and Joseph took great care of the house. Everything was very clean and tidy when we arrived back, and we had a short time to get to know them on our arrival. We would be fortunate to find more house sitters like them, and would of course love to have them back in the future! We wish Hannah and Joseph luck in their travels!
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.
Kathy and Ron arrived at our home with a most fantastical toy for our cats and a giant apple pie. Need I say more? They are very experienced sitters and brought personal items that they prefer. We knew we were leaving out cats in good hands. A large part of their 'job' was hand watering our garden and Ron took that in stride. Everything is thriving. Our cats are usually distant with new people but we received photos of them keeping Kathy and Ron company in various situations which was reassuring. They clearly won our cats over. Although Ron and Kathy had a ferry to catch on their last day, they took time to wash their linens and hang them on the clothesline. They also left us a gorgeous plant for our garden. We would very much like to have them back for a longer sit if possible.
Angel was absolutely the best house sitter we could have hoped for. She is a very warm, open and diligent person and our two cats adored her. She looked after our house and garden with really conscientious care. She won over our very timid cat, Billie, and sent regular photos of both cats looking supremely content which gave us perfect peace of mind. The house was completely spotless on our return and the garden was fabulous... no mean feat since there was a heatwave while we were away and she kept everything watered and in great condition. We would have Angel back at the drop of a hat and cannot recommend her highly enough.
Ruoyi was the perfect sitter for our cat Toni! We would highly recommend her to any pet owner, and hope she can sit for us again in the future. Ruoyi was very thorough - she made sure there was full alignment on all the specifics of her pet duties, and she asked thoughtful questions regarding details we forgot to include in our guide. She always provided us timely updates at the agreed cadence, and gave us a ton of photos. From the photos, it's clear she got in a lot of play time with Toni, which we really appreciated! :) We were able to enjoy our entire vacation stress-free knowing Toni was in such good hands. Ruoyi left our apartment completely clean and offered to wash linens.
Jenny was an absolute delight, lovely to speak to and patient with last minute changes. I have had bad experiences with trusting people with my cats before so was really anxious as Jenny is the first house sitter I have used from zeewoi. But, I felt at ease as soon as I spoke to her, she has a lovely manner and she came round the day before the sit to male sure she had every detail right. But I think the thing that helped the most was her regular updates about my cats. I could see from the videos she sent they were given lots of love and attention. My cats don't usually play with people but my little girl seemed to love her! My flat was immaculate when I got back as well, I am so grateful to Jenny for all her help and really hope to have her sit for me again!
