Quirky couple in love with pet snuggles & belly rubs, while keeping a tidy home
Absolutely adored Melquea! Her energy and dependability are out of this world. Her and James took such good care of Oatly and our apt. It made us feel reassured that Oatly was in good hands and well loved. Thanks for everything, I hope we can meet next time and do another housesit!

Young (at Heart) Grandparents
Catherine and Jim are the most wonderful people, who efficiently moved in and provided loving care & fun outings, for both Jax and Jorja. We went overseas and cell coverage was spotty at best, but I always got a lovely photos & updates. My fur babies were so happy to see us return but so happy with Catherine & Jim. If you get the opportunity to choose them, please do so - you won’t regret it. They are special people, who embody what zeewoi are all about.

Your friendly neighborhood art nerd, out to explore the world.
Rebecca was fantastic with our home and our boy. We came home to a very tidy and clean space and Judd was very happy :) Would absolutely have Rebecca back!

Experienced, responsible, active, and gregarious petsitter
Amy was a phenomenal sitter for our dog, cat and house! We felt very at ease and came home to an immaculate house and very happy animals. Thankful to Amy and would recommend her highly!

Your place and your pets will be in good hands...
Jared was extremely thorough and kind. He covered all topics when we first met on the phone, sent updates throughout the sit and was very open to things schedule-wise, especially when my plans got changed/delayed. He left the house cleaner than I left it and left my dog with a great sendoff, caring for her right to the end. No complaints whatsoever; I'd highly recommend him.

Looking forward to meeting new people/pets. As a retiree my schedule is flexible
This was the second time we used John as an extended house/pet sitter, as he is a mature, responsible pet lover who takes his responsibility seriously. Once again John did a wonderful job, communicating regularly with us while sharing pictures of our cats. We'd recommend John very highly to anyone considering him for a house/pet sit.

Animals and Travel: An Empty-Nester's Duo Made in Heaven!
I could not have asked for a better sitter! My dog, Hank, has been looking disappointed with me ever since Lisa left and I returned. She clearly took amazing care of him and spent tons of time with him. He's a recent rescue and, I think, a sensitive soul, so the gentle attention and care she gave to him meant the world. She also took terrific care of the house, leaving it immaculate and the plants thriving. Highly recommend!

Reliable to the Point of Boring
Bill and Sandy are awesome catsitters, housewatchers, and most importantly, people. Ernie took his normal two days to decide they were ok (I think that's how long it takes him to give up on me ever returning), and after that, he was literally eating out of the palm of their hands. And once you are cat-approved, you're golden. My house was spotless when I arrived (by pre-arrangement, they left around one hour before I got back home). Everything was where it belonged, and the place was clean. Before and during the sit, their communication was on-point. They arrived when they said they would, had already done some research of the area, and let me show them around a bit. If our schedules ever line up and they apply another time to watch the little guy, I would simply confirm the dates, accept them, and write 'thanks, but this sit is taken' notes to the other applicants. If they apply for one of your sits, you would be well-served to do the same.

My favorite days are spent lending a hand in the company of animals.
I highly recommend Sharon & can’t think of anyone I’d rather have stay with my pets. She is wonderful & did everything in her power to make sure we had an enjoyable trip before she even arrived. We came home to a clean house & very content dog. From first greet at the door, it was like Cleo had known Sharon for years. He can be a little bit standoffish sometimes, so that says a lot about her. He was treated like a king. Sharon was focused on Cleo & took the time to do all the activities he loves to do everyday (a long list) & provided lots of updates. Cleo is obviously disappointed. Sharon has left. Hoping she will come for another visit soon!

After raising 4 kids, I am ready to take good care of your precious ones!
Kerin provided exceptional care for our dogs while we were away. From the start, she was thorough and attentive, asking detailed questions to ensure she understood our dogs' needs. As first-time users of Zeewoi, Kerin patiently guided us through the process, easing any concerns we had. Her dedication was evident when she visited the day before our trip to meet our dogs and familiarize herself with our home. She handled our strong-willed Pyrenees, Wally, with ease, showing great patience and understanding of his quirks. Throughout our time away, Kerin maintained open communication, keeping us informed of any developments or concerns. Not only did she care for our dogs, but she also went above and beyond by cleaning our house, even folding a load of laundry left in the dryer! And all of my plants are thriving! Thanks to Kerin, we felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were in capable hands. Upon our return, it was clear they had been well-loved and cared for. We are incredibly grateful for Kerin's exceptional service and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dogsitter.
Shaina was a great sitter for my cat Lionel. She was great with communicating before the sit and was willing to come meet me in person before the sit. She also kept me updated throughout the sit, with photos and little notes. When I returned home the flat was tidy and Lionel seemed happy!
Seàn was an amazing pet and house sitter! He was super communicative and took amazing care of my dog Nala and cat Bruce. They were happy and loved while I was away- I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for the two little fur babies! He sent great pictures and checked in every day so I had nothing to worry about. On top of all that, he also kept my place immaculately clean and left my place in wonderful shape. We can’t wait to have him back to sit and I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone looking for a sitter!
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!
Kira was the best sitter we have ever had! I chose Kira because of her reviews, ability to sit during the dates I needed and willingness to communicate with my daughter/neighbor who co-parents Colby with us. I am always a bit anxious about having someone in my home and trusting them with our fluffy son. Kira put us at ease almost immediately. I received photos and videos everyday throughout the stay. I got updates on Colby’s activity and the fun they were having together. My heart felt full knowing that Colby was being well loved and cared for. Additionally, Kira was so kind to keep us posted on any deliveries that arrived at the house. Finally, when I arrived home, the house was tidy and clean! Again, I am so grateful that Kira was there keeping the house and my cat safe! I hope she will come back and sit again. I know Colby would love to see her again.
Joi did a wonderful job caring for my two cats and two guinea pigs, as well as caring for my home! She is coming back in November for a long sit while I am out of the country and we all can’t wait. Joi had experience with rabbits and jumped right in with guinea pig care. She is so calm around them that they were sitting on her lap day one! She spent time preparing their vegetables and kept their enclosure and room clean, which requires daily effort. She even washed the floor mats in their room so it was fresh when I returned home. She went above and beyond sending me daily photos and videos so I could see that everyone was healthy and happy. It was apparent to me that she spent a lot of time with my pets, which is very important so they don’t become stressed and lonely when I am away. Joi also took excellent care of my two cats. They receive daily wet food with some medication and she ensured that they received it on time. My cats barely noticed when I returned because they got so much attention from Joi. She took excellent care of my front garden flowers and my tomato and herb hydroponic gardens. These take some daily attention and time in the summer, and I returned home to them looking great! Joi is a very caring, clean, and thoughtful sitter and I hope she comes back many more times!
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
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!
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.
Rick and Sally are marvelous cat sitters and we would gladly have them back anytime. We highly recommend them to any and all pet owners. They arrived when they said they would and were ready to go when we returned, making sure our cats were present before departing. Our home was left spotless, undoubtedly better than we left it for them. We can't urge you enough to engage them if you can!
We've had many pet/house sitters over the last few years and Cat and Eugene will reside at the top of the list of favorites! From my first email with Cat I knew I liked her. She has all of the qualities of a good house and pet sitter: Reliable, a good listener, organized, flexible, caring, and honest. She and Eugene arrived exactly on time for our pre-sit visit, where they got to meet Maya and become familiarized with the house. It was a delight to visit with them and become comfortable knowing Maya would be in good hands. Our scheduled dates changed somewhat and they were extremely flexible and easy going about the changes. Upon our return home, we found the house pretty much in the exact condition we left it in. I can tell that great care was taken for Maya and for the house. Maya seemed to still be looking for them the next day, wandering around the house wondering where the other people who loved her went. I would recommend Cat and Eugene for anyone looking for reliable, kind, respectful, caring, tidy, and honest sitters. If I am lucky, I will get to have them back to sit for me again.
