Home is where the cat is!
It is always a pleasure to invite Rebecca and Bob to house sit. They are responsible and provide excellent care for our cats and home . They have sat many times for us, and we will continue to invite them to do so.

Retired dog trainer, pet sitter, and dog foster parents seeking adventures.
Dennis and Brenda arrived the evening before I left, giving us time to get acquainted and familiarize them with the house and my dog, Piper. This was my first experience with zeewoi and they put me at ease asking great questions. They kept in touch by text with questions and reports on walks with Piper and daily updates. When I returned, the house was clean and well cared for. I will check their availability again next summer when they are in the area. Excellent experience and I would recommend Brenda and Dennis to care for your home and dogs.

Loving and adventurous pet sitter
Gina surpassed our expectations and I can't recommend her highly enough. She cared for our house and dog for a month. When he had a torn paw, she researched how to treat it and applied the proper medicines and a cone, soaked the paw etc. and our dog recovered, which saved us literally hundreds of dollars in vets fees. Gina communicated very well with us while we were away. We trusted her and our dog really liked her. Gina also took great care of our house and large garden.

You will Love Me As Your Next House and Pet Sitter!!
Kevin is easy to communicate with, flexible, reliable, and tidy. We came home to a happy and contented cat, and a clean house. During the sit, Kevin sent us photos and updates about our kitty as we requested. We'd be happy to have him back!

Two caring, loving teachers to take care of your babies while you are away!
Jason and Amanda have taken care of my pets before. I was so happy that they were able to come back and I would have them back any and every time! They love on my pets and they are so respectful and considerate of my house. What more could you possibly ask for?

Retired couple ready for our next adventure in house sitting.
Mary and Bill were great. We got on well from the start and the animals adored them. They happily and conscientiously took on board all their responsibilities and exceeded them, even accepting a furniture delivery for us. They kept in touch regularly and we had no concerns that our animals were being looked after perfectly. When we came back the house was immaculate, animals in great condition and we were delighted. We’d love to have Mary and Bill back anytime, even if we’re not going away.

Jessica and Rick just did a 2 week house sit for us. Jessica was very conscientious in the care of our cat and our home. Communication with Jessica was great, including the re-scheduling of our dates of travel and arrangements. Our house actually looked better when we returned than when we left it. I really appreciate coming home to clean house after an adventurous trip. I also received a good number of fun photos of our pets, which is always reassuring. I would highly recommend Jessica and Rick for future housesitting assignments.

Adventurers and Animal Lovers and looking forward to the next journey!
I was new to zeewoi, it was my first time leaving my pets and I was nervous. Within minutes of speaking with Gail, on the phone, I was at ease. It was like speaking with an old friend. Gail and Scott were just the couple I was hoping for. Experienced, patient, kind, considerate and reliable. I was so happy that Gail suggested arriving a day early so that we could meet in person and go over the pets needs and routines and anwser any questions related to managing the house. We had dinner together and had an opportunity to get to know a little bit about each other which was great! This made me feel more secure and comfortable, as well as my pets! During my 1 week vacation, we texted every other day or so to check in. The communication was perfect. Everybody was doing well. My pups were adjusting and I was enjoying my vacation without worrying. Gail and Scott could handle all of my 4 ChiChi's easily. Upon returning home, it was not even evident that they were there. Everything was cleaned. They went well above my expectations and washed and changed the bed linens and towels. Also, cleaned the bathrooms and floors. My place looked great! Oh and my dogs were happy to see me :) Gail even left me a nice note. I highly recommend Gail and Scott and I hope every every pet parent has the same wonderful experience with zeewoi.

High School Sweethearts, who love animals and adventures!
We had Cassie and Amiel sit while we were away in Michigan for a week. They are super friendly and laid back, were responsive to all messages, diligent with their communication and questions about the house, and sent us photo updates every day. Our cats seemed very loved and content when we came home and our house was spotless. On top of it all, Cassie offered to swing by the morning before our arrival to check on the cats and feed them their wet food, even though I had ended the sit the night before. Our flight was delayed so I really appreciated Cassie offering that. She went above and beyond. Would highly recommend! We've already booked them again for our next sit in a couple weeks.

Getting my pet fix while seeing the world
Shelly was our first zeewoi, and she was an absolute pleasure to work with! She's a total pro - she was a clear and consistent communicator and clearly understands well what taking care of a house and animals requires. Not only did she exceed our expectations, she also shared some of her tips and expertise with us! We would happily have Shelly watch our dog and stay at our home again. She sent regular photos and kept us fully up to date and we came home to a very well-kept house. Thanks Shelly!
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!
Kendra was a great cat sitter to Genepi and she truly is a cat whisperer. Genepi usually takes 4 days to make friends with a new person but she came out and made friends with Kendra Day 1! Kendra regularly sent wonderful videos and pics of Genepi purring happily. The apartment was neat when we returned and our garden was blossoming. Would absolutely ask Kendra to sit again and highly recommend her. Thanks Kendra!!
I'm delighted to have found Lisa as a sitter and hope to have her back again! She was detail oriented and clearly cared about my cats' well being. She asked good questions about the cats' routines and needs and about the house to be sure she'd meet my expectations and have a comfortable and successful sit. She communicated very well before and throughout the sit and even though I was unreachable for much of the time I was confident everyone was in good hands. Lisa left the house in immaculate condition and the cats were relaxed and happy when I got home. What a delight!
There are not enough words in the English language to express my deepest gratitude to Teresa and all the amazing love and care she showed my sweet cat Milo. From the moment she met Milo, I knew there was going to be a very special bond. He instantly relaxed when he first met and already looked so happy and at peace with her. The bond between the two of them only seemed to get stronger and stronger with every day that I was away. This two-week trip was so important for me as it was the first real "vacation" I had taken in a few years. I was in desperate need of a mental and physical break and knew that in order to have a true "time off', I needed to feel completely at peace with Milo being well-taken care of. Well my prayers were answered as Teresa was the "cat whisperer" I was hoping for. I could not have asked for a better, more compassionate, self-reliant, and intuitive sitter ! Teresa was also so diligent in sending me her daily picture and video updates of my cat. With every picture and video I saw, I knew that Milo was so happy being with her and I never worried for one minute while I was away. What a gift ! Teresa was also a serious life-saver for me as literally an hour before I was leaving for my trip, I found out my cat's tracker app was not working and after a few emails and phone calls, we found out the tracker's server was down. Teresa took the initiative to follow up with getting the tracker to work again which was a HUGE stress-relief for me . She is not only wonderfully savvy with animals but also with technology as well ! I feel so fortunate to have Teresa in my life now, not only as an amazing sitter for Milo but also as a wonderful friend for life! Thank you, Teresa for everything.... Milo and I so appreciate you .....
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
Sharon and Milton are two of the nicest people I've met in my life. This is my first time having a sitter fly in from out of state and it was so simple, stress-free, and didn't affect any part of me getting ready for my trip, leaving for my trip or returning from my trip. Sharon was very communicative before, during and after I returned. It just couldn't have been more wonderful! If you're considering applicants stop looking and choose Sharon and Milton. They are just delightfully wonderful wonderful people!! They go above and beyond just housesitting and pet sitting! Tidy, clean, respectful down to earth and the most kind and loving people. I do believe Milton really is a cat whisper!! They slept with my sweet babies, and even followed silly grooming instruction on one of my cats. Would have them sit for me absolutely anytime.
Jeanne is a repeat pet sitter for us. She is wonderful and takes great care or our cats and our home. We have peace of mind when we travel knowing our kitties are under her care.
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.
Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!
Greetings Pet People, I am a bit late leaving my review for Kristine who is local to us and has taken care of our kitties Max and Luis a few times this year. After COVID-19 was announced in March, our travel plans came to an abrupt halt. We had to cancel a lot of trips we had planned but decided that it was safe to go camping a couple of times this summer. We called on Kristine as one of our favorite sitters on this site. We discussed safety protocols and agreed to cleaning that we would do to leave the house safe for her to enter. She shared protocols that she had taken with other homeowners and had sound processes to make us feel safe leaving our cats and our home in her care. She even purchased batteries for our automatic cat feeder when it failed to let one of our confused kitties to eat. Kristine is a smart, humorous and a thoughtful person. I would not hesitate to recommend her for your sit. She truly loves animals and taking care of your home. Highly recommended! Thanks Kristine!
