This was our first time using zeewoi, and Tag made this a great experience for us. She asked all the right questions to ensure that she could provide the best care of our house and pets. Our dog loved Tag immediately, and she reached out with updates and pictures of our pets. When we returned home, the house was tidy, with dishes and linens already clean for us. Tag made us feel comfortable immediately with our decision to use zeewoi. She is warm, friendly, neat, organized, and our pets loved her. We would have Tag back anytime we go away.

I cannot recommend highly enough Kirsten and Chris. They came in, last minute, to care for my new kitty who was sick. Pachi wasn’t eating, was lethargic, was very congested with his upper respiratory infection. Kirsten and Chris immediately put my mind at ease that they would be excellent caregivers while I was away. They immediately fell in love with Pachi and demonstrated they they knew exactly how to administer medications that were necessary, give him the sauna treatments he needed and put the heating pad to use. Their years of experience and compassion for felines took my worries away. They kept me updated with photos and tales. I returned to a kitty who had not only gained back weight he had lost at the beginning of being sick, but had added some extra on. He was happy, alert and had very little congestion (it can take some time to get over a URI). If you have the honor of having Kirsten and Chris sit for you, you will be thrilled. They are such a great couple and besides the cat care, they took good care of my garden and my home. Everything was as I would want it to be on my return.

We're very pleased with Erika & Cass as both pet sitters and house sitters and will be happy to recommend them to others. Our older doggie was calm, healthy, and seemed very well-cared for during our 10 day trip. We received several text updates with photos that allowed us to feel confident that our animals and home were in good hands. The house was clean, the laundry done, and all the bedding and towels changed. They left our car at the airport for us after our flight was delayed 7 hours and it was easy to find with their description. All in all we're very satisfied.

If I could give her more than 5 stars I would. Lauray was so helpful and we loved how she kept in touch, did everything and then some for the dogs, home, and my car which we left for her to use while we were out on a trip in our camper van. I only hope she is available next time we are going away.

Miranda and Sunny were the perfect fit for our sit. They are responsible, kind, and down to earth. We had a great video chat before the scheduled house sit. During the sit they were communicative and asked questions when needed. They thought of things we didn’t think to instruct and I’m thankful for that. When we returned, enjoyed a freshly cleaned home. Miranda and Sunny were sure to leave it a better condition, if not better, than when they arrived. Our cats were well cared for while we were gone and we’re grateful for this experience.

I cannot say enough good things about Simone and Chris. They made a couple of repairs while I was away. They took great care of my fruit trees and garden and most of all, they loved up my kitties, Thunder and Lightning. My home was cleaner than when I left and I am looking forward to having them house sit again. We also had a chance to spend a couple of days together at the start of the sit so I could show them around my property and I now have new friends too! Say yes to them pet/housesitting if they apply for the sit!

Tasha and Rodney were great housesitters! They stayed for over three months, coped with threatened hurricane (didn't happen, thankfully), cats getting injured in fights, appliance breakdowns and everything else that can happen on a remote island and were completely unflappable and well organised. Definitely recommend them as perfect housesitters and I am most grateful to them for making my vacation very relaxing!

Cynthia was a perfect pet sitter for our little kitty. We knew from her extensive experience with cats that Nala was in good hands. She was extremely responsive via texts when we were away, ensuring us that the 2 of them were having a great time. She went absolutely above and beyond by scrubbing our bath and toilets to remove our mineral deposit rings that we haven't been able to get rid of! She even left the name of the product she used so we can get more in the future. The house was cleaner than when we left. We'll have her back anytime!

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.

Our review is written by Steven (house owner, host + my father) + also by Kim (the daughter).

Written by Kim: This was our first house sit since the passing of my mother in late Dec 2023.  I was helping my father Steven (whose profile it is) manage all the emails + try + find a great house sitter + came along Gretchen’s profile! Not only is she a cool cat + someone you might want to get to know, I found myself quickly talking to her. I shortly found out her profile is just a glimpse of how interesting she is but talking to her was so much better!  She is a world traveler with many experiences + stories to share. We quickly became conversationalists who could talk forever + probably will continue to do so! Thank you TH! 

She is easy to communicate with + continued the consistent communication all along our journey of having her as our *first* guest after my mom’s passing. It was clearly a time filled with anxiety + sensitivity so there were some sensitive topics to go over + Gretchen got it right away.  A few of our rooms in the house were off-limits (as they housed my mom’s things) but we reassured her the house has ample space for her to enjoy + there are many lovely outdoor spaces to boot!  When she arrived she felt she was in paradise + really relished in the outdoor beauty + the indoor coziness. We were happy to share it with someone who appreciated it so much! 

She also was very understanding with the fact that both my dad + I would both be involved as we both handled different parts of the stay. Me, writing + setting up the Welcome Guide + would go over the situation but then upon her arrival my dad would take over + answer any questions mostly during her sit. The good part of having 2 people is she had accessibility to us both, in the case she needed it + sometimes it came up! She juggled all the communication oh so well.  My mom usually handled most of the logistics so this being our first time we were nervous something would come up we might not know but it didn’t!  It was new territory for us + we wanted to make sure she had everything. 

Gretchen handled it all with such ease, seamlessly, really respecting our wishes/desires + taking all the information into her hands + making it seem easy on her end to do so. 

She was easy to coordinate schedules with!  There was a gap in her 1st + 2nd sit but everything went seamlessly even when my flight had a day long delay. She was able to coordinate schedules with me arriving in between, then leaving, my dad arriving different days + us extending the trip too. It all worked out! We were all a good team!

She absolutely loved our older cat, Benny + he fast + furiously fell in love with her oh so easily. When I saw him, he looked oh so loved + after saying hi to me went over to ‘her’ bed + slept there waiting for her to come back. She sent many pictures, videos + even cute creations + toys she made for our Benny + it was obvious the house + our Benny were her first priority. 

She even asked us if she could help prune our flowers/shrubs, something my mom used to do + honestly it was an honor to hear her ask that. She was welcome to set up her art studio + play away. She was very communicative when our house cleaner, landscape gardener + house manager showered up for different reasons. When I arrived back for a short stint before she came back the 2nd time our mail was so well organized it was an assembly line! She also offered to take down our xmas tree (as we were a bit behind in taking down our xmas decorations) + she was sensitive to the fact that we were adjusting to a new normal. 
Thank you so much Gretchen! You made our first sit in a long time so seamless + such a relief that we are ready now to host again. We only wish we could have more Gretchen’s! (She’s also a super talented artist!)

Written by Steven: Overall, Gretchen has been an absolute treasure.  She has fulfilled our goals for a house sitter perfectly - she took good care of the house, great care of our treasured pet, Mr. Benny + took care of the grounds such as watering a few plants + trees.  She excelled in all the above + is welcome back anytime I will be out of town in the future.

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.

Amanda is truly our trusted sitter "find"!  She comes back regularly, so much so that our kitties think she is their secondary owner!  Always reliable, clean, responsible and most of all loves our cats as much as we do!  Good communicator, self reliant - all in all a perfect "10"!

Marianna was an incredible house sitter and cat sitter. She gave our property and sweet kitty top notch care. She is kind, easy to communicate with, thorough, etc. Would highly recommend her, you will not be disappointed.

Florence is everything you want in a cat sitter!  We have two cats that need a lot of human attention.  One takes multiple medications twice a day and they both are used to eating on their own schedule and having people around so it is always very important to us to find a pet sitter that will be spending a lot of time in the apartment and that doesn't mind being very attentive.  We were able to meet Florence before our trip and felt 100% confident that she would take great care of our cats.  Florence is comfortable giving medication, she sent us photos and updates and left our apartment spotless.  We were so happy that we had her come back the following week when we went away again for a short trip!  We will definitely contact Florence again whenever we travel and hope that she is available!

Lindsey watched our cat and dog for a long weekend when we went out of town. She was a very communicative sitter sending frequent pictures and voice notes with updates. She did a great job of following their schedules and giving them attention. The animals seemed to be happy and relaxed when we returned home and I believe Lindsey enjoyed getting to discover all of the eateries our town has to offer. A win-win for everyone!

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.
