Happy kiwi couple, tiny house living in New Zealand
Chelsea and her partner came over to Queenstown to look after Harry and Matai the weekend for us, and my parent dog Stitch last minute! They were great to have in the house, clean and tidy, and great communicators. Thanks ladies!

Two pet lovers who love to travel.
Gary and Peter did a fantastic job of looking after our dogs and our house. The house was spotlessly clean on our return, the dogs were clearly happy and loving the attention that Gary and Peter were giving them. They had tidied up areas of the garden which we hadn't managed to get to this year and even had dinner ready for our return! We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them as house and pet sitters but will be trying our best to make sure we get them first!!

Perfect carers to put your mind at rest
Caterina and Shai and their 2 lovely boys looked after our home and 2 miniature horses, 2 donkeys and cat so well while we had our summer holiday. We came home to contented animals, a watered garden and a clean house. They even went the extra mile and cooked dinner for us on our arrival. We would reccomend them to anyone!

Mature, responsible & active couple. Lifetime pet owners
Sally from the start of the process was fantastic given the distance from her home to the UK she put us at ease at every stage. The dogs had a fantastic time with her and bonded very easily. Leaving the dogs for the first time and also having someone in your house was a slight concern but after the way they were looked after and the care and consideration taken with the house I would not hesitate to use the service again.

Lisa and Stjepan looked after our home and 4 cats for 3 months this Spring . They were very organised with the move and asked lots of questions to familiarise theirselves with our routines etc . They were in regular communication while we were away , with lots of lovely photos and updates , and we felt very secure that our kids were being well cared for ...... I think they all fell a little in love with each other ! When we returned everything was clean and tidy ,and the cats were clearly content. We would 100 % recommend them .

I’m a vet nurse with a pure passion for all animals <3
Paris did a great job looking after our cats and apartment. We had a couple of video calls with her before the sit, and she was in contact with us during her stay. Unfortunately because of travel times we were only able to meet at the bus station to do the key exchange but Paris followed all of our prior instructions. A highly recommended sitter!

Ashley and Nick were wonderful caregivers for Kiki - she clearly loved them and they sent lovely photos to let me see how well she was settling into having them around. They left the house in an immaculate state and were just delightful. They made both going away and coming home stress-free. I highly recommend them.
I never met Joi because due to her work, she arrived after I left and was gone before I returned home. This wasn't a problem at all. She was very self-sufficient and seemed to find all that she needed in my house. The house looked exactly like I left it and my cat seemed very content when I returned. Apparently they had a nightly routine of Luna getting brushed. Joi is a very experienced sitter and it shows.
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.
Nathalie and John were great! They were great house sitters to watch our two dogs, 2 geckos, our old cat and bull frog. Their two girls took good care of the animals as well. The house was exactly how we left it. We really appreciated their help!
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.
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!
Anna was a wonderful sitter for our furry friends. My dog, Luke, bonded with her and was sad when she left. My cats would crawl under the covers and curl up with her at night. She is a true animal magnet and lover. I highly recommend Anna to anyone who wants their pets to recieve first class love while away.
Caroline is an amazing sitter ! We were far away, had never left our cat for such a long period of time and we felt really confident with her. She took great care of our cat Honey as well as she did for the house, pool and garden. She was even able to handle the end of the refection of the bathroom which was a last minute surprise… We felt Caroline was reliable and self sufficient. We had a great communication with her during our stay abroad. We even found many nice intentions when we came back from our vacations such as fresh fruits and bakeries for a nice and welcomed breakfast after a night in a plane ! We definitely recommend Caroline for your sittings and we will obviously call her back !
We couldn't have asked for better sitters than Pares and Mark. Since our initial contact, it was straightforward to communicate with Pares. We were lucky enough to get a chance to meet Pares with our dog Luna, and Luna got along with her immediately. During our time away from home, she kept us informed about how both our dog and cat were doing, and they were both cuddling with her since the first day. We got a lot of pictures and knew that they were safe and happy. The apartment was exactly as we had left it when we came back. Pares and Mark even ran the dishwasher and the washing machine for us. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter, and it made our trip very easy knowing they were taken care of so well. We'd have Pares and Mark back to our home without any hesitation.
Cat and Paul were wonderful sitters - our cats were contented and calm when we returned. And the house was spotless. Plus Paul mowed our entire yard including the back meadow - what a surprise! We very much enjoyed visiting with them as well and getting to know them. Highly recommend :)
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.
