Life-long gardeners, animal lovers and remote workers.
Daniel was really nice and took great care of my babies. He gave me updates throughout the sit and made me feel at ease knowing he was taking care of my kittens. Would love to host you again.

Just your friendly neighborhood house sitter :)
Sienna was just a sweetheart. Dogs loved her. She took great care of the old girls like they were hers. I would love her to sit again.

UK/USA couple looking for adventure and pets to love!
Incredibly grateful to Hayley and Aden for their incredible care of our home and our cat, Louis. We have had the pleasure of their care for past sits, and this time they accepted our last minute invitation to sit (due to another sitter couple who cancelled 48 hours before the sit). Self-sufficiency is a fabulous quality in a sitter, and this couple manages all aspects of daily home and pet care with ease. We are happy to welcome them back any time.

A happy traveler excited to care for your fur-child & home
Christina was absolutely amazing, I could not have been happier with how she took care of my pup and my home. From our very first call, Christina asked all the right questions, was very flexible, and communicated perfectly. She sent me regular updates with the cutest pictures and videos. I could tell she genuinely adored my fur baby and did everything to make sure she was safe and happy. I can’t describe the relief and joy I felt leaving my pup in her care because I trusted Christina to love and care for her just as I would.

Traveling linguist
Melissa arrived on time, took great care of my dog and cat, and even stayed a bit longer than planned when my own travel plans got messed up (flight in the midwest in August…).

Retired professional couple, intrepid travelers. 5-star pet and house sitters.
We were thrilled to have Christie take care of our 2 dogs! She was a delightful pet sitter and out dogs quickly took to her. We received beautiful photos of them. When we returned, our house was very clean and the plants well watered. Both dogs looked great.

This was the third time that we have all enjoyed Stefany at our home. She is an All Star sitter. She is a wonderful communicator and I am positive that our dogs consider her to be a part of their pack. We do too! If you ever have the chance to have Stefany care for your home and animals, she is wonderful.

Experienced Couple, Trusted Partners in Care: Professional Pet-Sitting Services
We appreciate the good job Maya and Jono did caring for our many plants, and our dogs seemed to be well cared for. Unfortunately, Maya was sick when she and Jono arrived for the sit, and she reported being sick the entire stay. When our doorbell camera showed a car had been in the driveway all night the first night after we left and the visitor had come with a dog, we asked if they had had an overnight dog visitor. They replied yes, but it was a service dog because the friend had a disability. We explained that our dogs don't get along with other dogs and we do not want another dog staying in the house; they became defensive, and the relationship with Maya and Jono became adversarial from that point on. Maya said that she was offended that we were not sensitive to people with disabilities. She also noted that they had made great sacrifices to do the sit, and we were insufficiently grateful. After several days of arguing via text, we decided that we would have to come home from our trip early. With zeewoi' assistance, we came to a mutually agreeable return date five days earlier than planned. When we returned home, we found that Maya and Jono had left the home unsecured. The door from the garage into the house had been left unlatched, so our dogs came running out as soon as we opened the garage door. The back patio door on the lower level had also been left unlocked. There were dirty dishes in the sink, and two kitchen countertops had sticky food residue. The stovetop and control panel were covered with grease splatters. Our Welcome Guide disclosed that we had security cameras, including an indoor camera in the great room. I pointed out the indoor camera to Jono during the house orientation. (Maya did not participate in the orientation because she was sick when she arrived and went immediately to bed.) It did not seem to be an issue, and I did not know that zeewoi now has a policy that requires indoor security cameras to be disabled during sits. After a few days, Maya reported the camera to zeewoi as if she had discovered a hidden camera! This was the ninth time we used zeewoi and the only time we had a contentious relationship with the housesitters. It was also the only time we felt so uncomfortable with the housesitters that we needed to come home early.
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!
. We were absolutely delighted with the care Summer provided for our cats. Without a doubt, she is the best cat sitter we have ever had the pleasure of working with. Her attentiveness and genuine affection for our cats were evident in every interaction. Throughout our holidays, she kept us constantly updated with daily pictures and detailed updates, which gave us immense peace of mind. Additionally, she maintained our house in immaculate condition, keeping everything clean and tidy. This level of consideration and dedication went above and beyond our expectations, and we deeply appreciated her efforts. Summer’s exceptional service made our holiday experience truly worry-free and enjoyable.
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.
Sharon and Milton were outstanding sitters and if I could give more than 5 stars I certainly would. Reliable, communicative, helpful, self sufficient and tidy, they took great care of my home. More importantly my cats were lovingly cared for and extremely content when we returned. I highly recommend Sharon and Milton without reservation and hope to have them return in the future.
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!
Wow, what a find Justin is! I feel as though I won a lottery. As I was revelling in the communication we were having during his stay, I looked over his profile and realized either that he had updated it during his stay OR I never even read it. I was so impressed with his initial application that described multiple stays taking care of cats in Turkey that I knew he was going to be a great choice. So I'm not sure that I even read his profile or reviews. Turned out...he was more than I could have EVER hoped for. Justin is VERY organized and clear with his communication. Just as--or maybe more--important, he is a poster child for what zeewoi can be: more than just an economical way to get a pet sitter or a place to stay. Justin embraces the barter economy and the opportunity it presents to get to know people. Although we only met the day that I turned the house and my 2 cats over to his care, we had delightful communication throughout his stay. He wanted to be sure he was providing the right care to all living and non-living elements of my home as well as just chat beyond what we'd had an opportunity to cover when we were face to face on the handoff day. Bottom line: I'd have Justin back even if I wasn't going anywhere! I've met a friend. And my neighbors did as well! Oh yes, and my two cats were well looked after, the house was in ship shape, and Justin was able to brief the next sitter in person (I'd had to extend my time away and Justin already had another commitment). To say I felt confident leaving my pets and home in Justin's care is an understatement. Justin is a real adventurer and believer in the power of both human and animal connection. Without a doubt, I would recommend him as a sitter...and a friend! Thank you, Justin for a great example of how to wrestle so much more meaning out of zeewoi.
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.
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.
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!
Kristine was wonderful again as our local sitter from just down the street. The boys take to her like she is their best friend whenever she comes to sit with them. She sent us photos of them playing, relaxing, drinking water and eating so we knew they were well taken care of. The house and the cats were in excellent shape and excellent hands while we were away. It is wonderful that she enjoys the house and the cats so much and tells us so. Kristine comes with our highest recommendation! Thank you Kristine!
