Exploring the world, one house-sit at a time!
Michelle was great! House was taken care of while I was away and I returned to a very clean home with happy cats. Michelle was self-sufficient. Would love to have her again. Thanks!

Karen was awesome and cared for our fur babies like they were her own! My older dog was not feeling well and she communicated about what was happening and cleaned up after her when she got sick! She is very caring and extremely reliable!

Working professional available to care for your pets!
Helpful, kind, considerate! Erin listened to the details, kept my critters safe and healthy for my return. I had a full body exhale seeing how clean my space was when I returned home late last night. She even put clean sheets on my bed. An absolute delight - I hope our paths cross again!

We'd love to be your trusted pet/house sitter for your upcoming adventure.
Dave and Kathleen are fantastic sitters. We thoroughly enjoyed getting to know them during their stay. They took wonderful care of our pets, ensuring the dogs were walked and everyone got lots of love every day. They took great care of our house and hot tub and left the house in spectacular condition. We cannot thank them enough for staying with us and we would not hesitate having them come back for another visit.

Christina was an amazing sitter, she took great care of Bella and the house!! She was extremely kind, super communicative, gave us regular updates of Bella, and left the house very clean and was overall great! Would highly recommend her to anyone else looking for a sitter :)

Richie was a great house/pet sitter. We communicated well before his sit and he arrived right on time. My dog, Snickers, took to Richie immediately and didn't even bark when he showed up at our gate. Usually she alerts me to people arriving at the house but she let Richie right in. He sent photos and updates while I was gone. Easy pet sit!

David and B took great care of our precious pups and our house. This was our first experience with zeewoi and David's wealth of experience and reassurance were very helpful. He was happy to communicate with us and sent cute pictures which is always a bonus. Thanks David!

Sangeeta and Devang were fantastic pet sitters. I had less time than usual to walk them through the house and get to know them. Thankfully they were super independent and self-sufficient. They left the house super clean and our cats happy. We’re very thankful for them.

"Loving Your Pets Like You Do" for over 25 Years
If you are fortunate enough to have Nan and Sandy as your sitters, you will be able to fully exhale and relax on your trip. They are extremely organized, wholehearted, reliable, and thoroughly experienced. The moment they entered our home for a walk-through, our senior cat Poseidon instantly felt comfortable. They were wonderful about sending daily pictures, often with a dash of humor, and they even created a new cat toy for him, which continues to be a wild success. Our home was also just as clean as when we had left, which is of course a huge bonus. I hope we’ll be able to book them again in the future.

This was the only difficult sit we have had in several years and 17 different sitters with TH. It was originally planned for 6 weeks and we always meet our sitters for an orientation and to get a "vibe". She could not meet us ahead of time. However, since she had a five star rating, we took a risk and left without waiting for her arrival which was much later than expected. By the end of the first week we were frustrated with her irregular and snarky communications. (She was often too "ill" or "tired" to give us updates on our aged kitty.) At one point we were afraid she might need medical attention since we were unable to reach her for almost 24 hours so we asked a neighbor to check on her which she found very upsetting. Later, when the neighbors complained that a man who appeared to be living out of his car was parking at different places in our neighborhood and going to our home to stay the night we'd had enough. Since we were 2000 miles away, we contacted TH and our neighbors for help and ultimately told her to leave. After our neighbors escorted her off the property we discovered the kitty box was overflowing and his fresh water dish was empty. Our closed off master bedroom was being used as a storage facility for her/their personal items. To her credit however, she did take the time to vacuum and straighten while the neighbors waited to ensure a smooth exit. A neighbor immediately changed the locks and the garage door code. A troubling experience.
Sofia and Nicole were excellent sitters to our 2 playful cats (an adult tabby and a BIG Maine coon kitten). They gave us a couple updates daily with pictures, as we requested. They were easy to communicate with before and throughout the entire sit. When we came home, our apartment was tidy (probably neater than we left it!) and our cats were relaxed and happy. They were also kind enough to leave us with some sweet bandanas for our boys. We were super pleased with the quality of care, and would happily recommend Sofia and Nicole to anyone in need of a pet or house sitter!
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!
I am struggling with naming our top adjective to describe Michael and Jeanne. "Conscientious" will likely be it but then again, "personable," "reliable," "organised," and "animal-loving" are top contenders. If you are reading this review and contemplating inviting this couple to watch your pets, then look no further. We have had a number of excellent house sitters but this pair was next level in terms of the love they showed our cats, Maxx and Nala. When we came back, we could our animals already missed them. These cats, who have never slept with anyone other than us, were getting in bed with them each night -- and that meant climbing stairs! The day before our trip, Nala got an ear infection and had to be put on steroids for asthma. Michael and Jeanne did not sign up for that when the sit was booked but they took it in stride. In the last-minute rush, I relayed that Nala needed her oral steroids morning and night. Michael read the RX label, indicating one dose a day, and contacted the vet to clarify. So you can see why "conscientious" is right up there. They saved Nala from an overdose! We were gone three weeks and they sent us just the right amount of pictures and videos. They bought cat toys (I forgot to put ours out!) and actively engaged with them, including 20-minute massages for Maxx. I truly believed them when they said they fell in love with our fur babies. The house was spotless (which was not important to me but truly appreciated) but I smiled when all six water stations in our yard were filled. They took seriously my love for and the needs of the wildlife in our yard. Our plants were all in good condition as well. Sensing they were "next level" when I met them, I predicted they would want to leave a meal for us upon our return. I asked them not to but they found another way to bow out with class. They made a donation to a nonprofit I work with instead. This I learned from the lovely thank you note they left. I hope they will consider Charles and I friends because we certainly feel that way about them now. What special people. If you book them, treat them well because they are going to do that for you for sure.
I feel that Julia is simply the best person and pet sitter I could ask for. They really cared for our cat and gave him lots of attention. She is flexible, upbeat, reliable, considerate and great at communicating. I highly recommend Julia and Chris.
Kimberly was a wonderful sitter who watched our two cats for us while we were out. She was willing to come a day early to help acclimate herself with the animals, and this was exceedingly helpful in making sure the cats would be comfortable with her during our absence. I would highly recommend Kimberly if you're looking for a responsible, caring sitter.
Wow! Just wow! We cannot say enough about the care and compassion Trisha and John provided to our cats and our home. We are always somewhat nervous about a new pet sitter in our home, but that all faded when we met this wonderful couple. They provided daily updates as requested, complete with pictures, videos and personalized captions. Upon our return, we were greeted by happy and content kitties. There was no sign of anxiety in Tika! Yea!!! Our home was clean, the sheets and towels were washed and bed remade! They even left behind thank you notes and little gifts! What a breath of fresh air these two individuals are! We hope to have them back again soon.
Nathalie and John were great! They were great house sitters to watch our two dogs, 2 geckos, our old cat and bull frog. Their two girls took good care of the animals as well. The house was exactly how we left it. We really appreciated their help!
Kimberly was absolutely wonderful, and we couldn't have had a better sitter for our first experience with zeewoi. Marshmallow loved Kimberly instantly and our cats (who can be a little standoffish) opened up right away with her. She asked great questions that helped us tailor our Welcome Guide to make sure we could be good hosts. Thank you, Kimberly!
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
Cat and Paul were wonderful sitters - our cats were contented and calm when we returned. And the house was spotless. Plus Paul mowed our entire yard including the back meadow - what a surprise! We very much enjoyed visiting with them as well and getting to know them. Highly recommend :)
