Providing Pet Sitting in the La Porcherie, France
Actively retired, like helping people and pets. Love travel and new interests.
Jeff and Norma were so great from start to finish. They kept us informed of their arrival plans and kept the house immaculately. In fact, we arrived back to freshly baked cupcakes (which my boys tell me are AMAZING - I am yet to cave in to temptation!) and freshly laundered and folded sheets. They kept us informed of everything and sent us regular updates and pictures of our dog. He looked so happy and has definitely made some friends by the time we returned. In fact, I think he has been pining for them since!! Thank yiu

Animal loving couple would like to care for your pets, and home!
John and Kate did a wonderful job looking after our 2 beloved cats. A charming couple - we couldn't have wished for better house-sitters. We had a worry-free holiday and came home to a clean and tidy house. Thanks again J & K.

Retired couple with flexibility on assignments.
Margaret and Mike were my 1st sitters and I couldn’t found anyone better. They kept posting pictures of Tilly at different venues. House was wonderful on my return. Would definitely have them again.

Caring sensitive woman (who can milk a goat!) seeks to care and share your pets
Julia was very kind and gentle with our two dogs and they sensed her sweet personality immediately. She arrived on time, took in all the information we gave and took the dogs out on her own to get to know them, which went very well. We returned to find the dogs well cared for and the house clean and tidy. Thank you Julia. We really appreciated your care and time.

We love to travel and love house sitting!
Emily and Daniel were lovely and took great care of our Labrador and the house whilst we were away. We were lucky enough to meet them before we left and they bonded immediately with our dog. They kept in touch with some photos whilst we were away and left the house immaculate. We would have them back anytime and highly recommend them.

Experienced trusted house sitter, who loves and has an affinity with animals.
Ann was an amazing sitter! Our cats were so well looked after, and the house was perfect on our return. Excellent communication too. Ann is also a really interesting person, and we felt we had made a new friend. We would love to have her back any time. Thank you Ann!

Enjoy your travels, whilst we enjoy caring for your pets, home and garden.
Mark and Jude were so so wonderful! Cannot recommend them more highly. We went on holiday knowing that our two dogs were getting the best of care. We received regular cute updates and they managed our old dog’s medication fantastically. Our home was also very well looked after and they were great communicators. We trusted them both like family because they were so warm and welcoming, I hope we see them again soon … our two dogs loved them very much.

Hoping to discover all of France whilst housesitting.
Helen is a very nice lady, chatty, confident, organised and caring. She sent me pictures every day of our pets, and exercised our very energetic cocker spaniel twice a day! We came back to calm and happy pets, which we are extremely thankful for. As local to us she came to visit before our trip so we went away feeling secure and confident that our pets were going to be well looked after, which is exactly what happened. Thank you Helen for all your hard work!

Retired medical scientist/lecturer hoping for a change of scenery.
This was the first time we have used zeewoi and we were just a bit nervous ! However, we didn't need to be as Evelyn turned out to be an A* sitter. As well as being a lovely and interesting lady, she took care of our house and our much loved dog Colin in a first class manner. Our house was super clean and tidy and after just a week Colin had fallen in love with her. She had even prepared a delicious meal for us on the day of our return. So thank you Evelyn for making our first experience such a happy and comfortable one.

Reliable, responsible, non-smoking, animal-loving Argentinian & French couple
Cecilia and Eric were wonderful housesitters. Ollie became attached to them very quickly, and I could tell he was being well looked after. He enjoyed his long walks, runs with Eric and evening cuddles on the sofa. Communication was excellent, I was sent lots of photo and video updates and the house was left clean and tidy. They kept my many vegetable beds and trees well watered and I even arrived back to delicious home made Argentinian empanadas! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Cecilia and Eric. Thanks, and enjoy the rest of your Portugal adventure this summer.
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!
Florence and Robert were outstanding sitters. We asked them to arrive a day early as our guests to learn the routine on our farm. In getting to know them we found them to be good hearted, down to earth people with a love of animals and diligent in learning our routines to care for our poultry, cats and dog as well as our garden and orchard. Not a typical or easy sit. We travelled with ease knowing our critters were being well taken care of. Arriving home, the house was very clean and looked well cared for. The animals were healthy as were the garden and orchard. Out pets missed them when they left – our dog stared down the driveway after them until their car was out of sight. It is nice to find sitters we would like to hang out with and we look forward to having them sit for us again.
Cung is a diligent and communicative cat sitter and house guest, and we'd highly recommend him! We hope to have him back again soon
Best house and pet sitters we've ever had! They definitely gave our cat and dog plenty of love and attention.
Brian is a very professional sitter that does a good job, pays attention to details and is easy to work with. I have a lot of plants. A lot. He suggested me do a video for the plant care so he could be sure of which ones needed what. Brilliant! I’d never thought of that. They were in great shape when I returned. I explained that I needed some flexibility with travel dates, he agreed and rolled with the punches like a champ when my dates did indeed change. Unfortunately, he was a bit allergic to my cat but made it work anyway. He was really awesome about everything including a tree that fell next door in a storm and blocked the road for three days. I appreciate that he appreciated how funny and how much personality Boo has. They got along well and I received some great videos. I returned home to a happy cat and a house well taken care of 😊. I would definitely recommend Brian.
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.
Ruoyi was the perfect sitter for our cat Toni! We would highly recommend her to any pet owner, and hope she can sit for us again in the future. Ruoyi was very thorough - she made sure there was full alignment on all the specifics of her pet duties, and she asked thoughtful questions regarding details we forgot to include in our guide. She always provided us timely updates at the agreed cadence, and gave us a ton of photos. From the photos, it's clear she got in a lot of play time with Toni, which we really appreciated! :) We were able to enjoy our entire vacation stress-free knowing Toni was in such good hands. Ruoyi left our apartment completely clean and offered to wash linens.
Toby and Chloe were one of the best house sitters we have ever had! As a small animal vet I have seen many types of pet sitters and these guys are top notch. Our pets are not easy either. We have special needs dogs, cats on medication, dogs with behavioral issues, horses, chickens, goats and a large (100 lb) Sulcata tortoise who needed close monitoring of the temperature in his barn. Everyone was thriving and happy when we came home. They read through the packet and asked thorough, thoughtful questions. They went above and beyond grooming, mucking and grazing the horses and goats everyday. They chopped greens and fruit daily for our tortoise. If we had known how amazing they were we would have booked a 3 week trip instead! Can't recommend them enough.
Denae and Burl were absolutely fabulous house/pet sitters for 4 weeks, Dec 2022- Jan 23. They are very friendly and intelligent, caring towards the animals (2 cats and 1 lively dog), and left our home clean and tidy. It all went very, very smoothly. It was a pleasure to deal with such nice people. We have invited them back whenever they want and hope the rest of their exploratory mission is a great success. I would be pleased to be contacted if anyone needs a further reference.
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!

How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least $20 per visit, per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Zeewoi.
