I feel so lucky to have Joshua look Raven and my home again. He provides regular updates on Raven's well-being, including videos and his communication is amazing. I always come home to a clean home and knowing I will be coming back late (or exhausted from sailing) Joshua leaves me the most delicious leftovers which I can't express how grateful I am for :D

I felt very confident when I first met Georgie that my house and my wee dog Griffin would be in safe hands. And so they were. Georgie was a great house sitter and pet carer. She gave him plenty of attention, many walks and a couple of new adventures. My house was clean and tidy when I returned. She was a great communicator and kept me up to date with her stay. I would highly recommend Georgie to other home and pet owners.

This was our first experience using cat/house sitters so I was a bit nervous but right from the off Gwenda and Keith reassured me. What a great choice we made! Excellent communication before and during their stay, daily updates on the cats and mad kittens behaviour, with photos. I was completely at ease whilst away, knowing that Gwenda and Keith were doing a brilliant job. The kittens, we are a foster family for a local cat charity, were super friendly when we got back, I know Gwenda and Keith spent lots of time with them. Even my more scardy cat came to them for strokes. On our return the house had been left clean, sheets etc washed and a bunch of flowers. Perfect. If all pet sitters are like this fantastic couple, I'll be going on holiday more often!

If you get the chance to book Ella and Jonah, I highly recommend you do! They were very kind, reliable, and very flexible when our situation got a little crazy due to wildfires nearby. They took wonderful care of our Vizslas Gunny and Vinny (our boys were exhausted when we got home!) And our home was clean and the plants were well cared for. We only wished they lived closer so we could book them again!

Hannah and Jackson were absolutely amazing pet sitters and took such great care of my dog and the house and many plants. They were great at communicating and sent lots of cute pictures and videos of their fun times and even of the garden. When my dog was a little unwell (completely her own fault) they didn’t hesitate to contact me and took such great care of her. They were very respectful of my house and left it all immaculate. I would definitely recommend using these two and know my dog will certainly miss them!

Marianne was wonderful. She came to meet our boy, Wally, a couple of times before the sit and came on walks with him so that he would be familiar with her before we left. We had constant communication and photos while we were away which set our mind at rest, knowing he was being well cared for and loved. Our home was was also clean and tidy upon our return, but most importantly, Wally was happy and very well looked after. Highly recommended! Thank you, Marianne!

Annabel went over and beyond as a sitter in my home! She did such a great job and was super helpful! She followed all of my instructions and took suck good care of Annabelle! I can tell Annabelle misses her because she goes to the guest room and sleeps in the bed in her room. She washed Annabelle without hesitation and brushed her while I was traveling. She even offered to cut my grass which I declined because I know that’s to much to expect. Annabel is super sweet and I would welcome her back in a second! It was so nice to have someone very cultured staying in my home who took such good care of my furbaby. I have to say the note she left and flowers were the icing on the cake! I would 100% welcome her back! She’s amazing!

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!!

Carole and Ron are excellent cat-sitters! They took very good care of my cat Lola and of my house. I came home to a happy cat and a very clean and tidy house. They sent me pictures of Lola and kept me updated, so that I had a very relaxed holiday. I very highly recommend them as cat- sitters and I would be thrilled if they would come back to sit for Lola again. Thank you so much!

Cung was a wonderful cat sitter and housesitter and we would happily invite him back again. He was excellent with our cats and sent plenty of photos, and also left the house impeccably clean. We had to come back a day early and so we got to spend some time with him which we enjoyed as well. 10 out of 10 recommend!

The best cat sitters ever!  They loved our cats and spent so much time playing with them and making sure they were happy!  
We had photos and videos every day with funny little messages and we came home to two very happy, healthy cats.
The house was spotless and they even washed the linen and towels! They left us some cute Easter presents and breakfast shopping in the fridge, as we were returning after a long flight.
We would definitely recommend Michael and Jeanne to anyone and hope they will come back to Teignmouth in the near future.
Thanks very much for looking after our beautiful cats and our home x

Hannah and Joseph were brilliant sitters - totally reliable and trustworthy. Quick to respond to queries and their past experience with dog/ housesitting was very apparent. Our 2 dogs and 1 cat were well looked after and the house was spotless on our return. We are totally happy to recommend them.

Jenny was an absolute delight, lovely to speak to and patient with last minute changes. I have had bad experiences with trusting people with my cats before so was really anxious as Jenny is the first house sitter I have used from zeewoi. But, I felt at ease as soon as I spoke to her, she has a lovely manner and she came round the day before the sit to male sure she had every detail right.

But I think the thing that helped the most was her regular updates about my cats. I could see from the videos she sent they were given lots of love and attention. My cats don't usually play with people but my little girl seemed to love her! 

My flat was immaculate when I got back as well, I am so grateful to Jenny for all her help and really hope to have her sit for me again!

Amazing sitters - I feel so fortunate to have had them stay. Chapeau was treated to daily walks and belly rubs, and my cat Tica was overflowing with contentment from having been taken care of so well. The house was cleaner than I left it and I was treated to a nice note and a lovely candle upon my return. Also, they left a checklist of item that they had done while here. Truly above and beyond!

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.

If Cung ever applies to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the offer. You will not be disappointed. Cung is among the top (if not the top) sitter I’ve ever had and I’ve been on this site for years.

Primarily, Cung is very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Cung kept me abreast of his plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk him through the instructions would work as planned. 

Second, Cung really cares. When he got to my apartment after what I assume was a long day of traveling, I explained the care instructions and he was very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Cung followed those exactly.

Third, Cung makes you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out within an hour of me being away - very fast for my cat as he is shy. Cung must have a calming energy towards animals. Cung was also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 5 minutes. I really appreciated that. My cat threw up at one point and Cung answered all of my questions to assess whether my cat was sick or had just eaten too fast.

Fourth, Cung will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The sheets were washed and folded on my bed. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Cung also respects your property. I have an extensive computer setup that he used for work and he was very respectful of that equipment. He asked if he could use it beforehand, which was incredibly polite since he could have used it and I wouldn’t have known. 

In sum. You need to jump at the opportunity if Cung offers to sit for you. I came home to a very happy cat. Hope he will sit for me again sometime!

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!
