Caring Animal Friend
Irene and Stefan were an amazing pet-sitting couple. They were open, friendly and conscientious, and they took the time to understand Jackie's needs. We had a nice dinner together the night before our departure and we could tell they truly loved cats. Irene even brought a toy mouse with catnip as a present for Jackie! Throughout our time away, Irene sent daily updates with photos and videos of Jackie. When we got back, the house was spotless and Jackie was happy and content. Thank you, Irene and Stefan! We would love to have you take care of Jackie again soon.

Travelling Family checking out the world.
Mel, Rolf and their son Samuel looked after our 2 dogs, 2 cats and small flock of chickens for 10 days this July. As you'll see they have many great reveiws on TH and we can only join in by saying that they did a fantastic job from start to finish. They're a very organised family, who clearly have a lot of experience of house and animal-sitting. The handover was quick and easy - much faster than is usually the case, as Mel immediately understood what was needed and didn't have to ask twice. They are great communicators and we were sent picture updates of the family out on walks with the dogs and cats. They managed Bonny, our new goofy rescue Golden Retriever, who can be a bit of a handful, without complaint. We even came home to a loaf of delicious, freshly baked bread. What more can you ask! :) Thanks Mel, Rolf and Samuel, we'd happily host you again!

Passionate animal lovers and professional house sitters around the world. Nothin
It was an absolute pleasure to welcome Amrita and Kurt again into our home. They are amazing pet/house-sitters and our pets absolutely love them. We know that we can go away fully confident that our dogs, cat and home are in the best hands possible and that we'll find on our return happy, relaxed pets and a tidy, immaculately clean house. We can fully recommend them as lovely people, honest, caring and very professional. A very easy 5 Stars from us.

Lots of time'n'fun! Explore the world and look forward meeting YOU and the pet
We felt very confident having Peter and Ute look after our house and caring for our pets. We received regular updates and plenty of pics. When we got home the pets were happy and healthy and the house was spotless. We truly enjoyed having them take care of things and we would have no hesitation to have them back

Caring animal lover who works from home
It was a pleasure to have Eleanor sit for Freddie again. Freddie absolutely adores Eleanor & how she cares for him. I never have any worries when Eleanor is sitting for Freddie as she is always in contact & this time as she knew I would be busy with my friends wedding still sent me updates & told me not to worry about replying. Knowing I had those updates sat there to look at when I wasn’t so busy was so nice 🥰 Eleanor always leaves my apartment spotless for when I arrive home. I think I’ve said it before that I’m sure it’s cleaner than when I leave it!!! As always we highly recommend Eleanor to house / pet sit. She really is a huge animal lover & treats your home as if it were her own. Thank you Eleanor & see you soon Vicki & Freddie 🐾

Dynamic and reliable couple ready to look after your home.
I don´t think that anyone could ask for better housesitters than Nathalie and Hanspeter. They are simple the best. While I was away we were in contact every day and they would send me photos of their walks and cuddles with my pets. Both are just so easygoing, uncomplicated, life loving, nature loving, animal loving, grateful and simply wonderful & lovely people. My house was spotless clean when I got back from my travels, my animals were happy and in fantastic condition and they had surprised me with the fixing of some things. Not only the animals were really sad seeing them go...it was the same for me. This was the second summer that Nathalie and Hanspeter were housesitting my home and I hope there will be many more. If sitters could get 10 stars instead of 5, these two would deserve them all.

Experienced, passionate and caring petlover
It was a pleasure having Monika back for another sit albeit in a new location and with a partly changed combination of dogs and cats. It was easy to communicate with Monika in the period up to the sit. She came the evening before my departure which made the handover easy and the dogs very happy. She is confident in handling the dogs and they get that message loud and clear from her body language and how she behaves - a real joy to observe. During the sit she kept me informed on their adventures and on my return home I met with two happy dogs, a happy cat and a clean house. I am more than happy to recommend Monika for future sits and look forward to her next sit with us.

A stranger is only a friend you havent met yet! And our home is the planet earth
Michelle and Willian are a lovely couple. From the moment they walked into the door, you could tell they are real animal lovers. They immediately connected with my 2 dogs. They are not only very experienced sitters , they are also totally self sufficient. I received nice messages and photos every day. When I came back the dogs were happy and relaxed. They left the apartment in pristine condition. I can highly recommend Michelle and Willian to all fellow pet owners and I hope they will look after Luna and Daisy again in the future.

Experienced and trustworthy German single sitter
Maritta was great at keeping me informed and I was happy leaving Silkie and my home in her care. I worry that she is preferring my sitters to me. It was great to spend some time with Maritta on my return and have a delicious meal prepared. Such a kind, thoughtful person.

Experienced & Compassionate Sitter: Non-Smoker, Tidy, Respectful.
We loved having Timothy caring for our dog while we were away. We got regular updates and the house was nice and clean, plus he handed over to the next Sitters and was very accommodating. We would happily have him come again.
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!
Kristi was an absolutely incredible sitter -- I think our favorite one ever! She was easy to communicate with, kind and personable, and took great care of our pets and our house. It was the first time we had left both our dog and our cat with a TH sitter and Kristi went above and beyond. She was very self-sufficient but provided fun updates and pictures and our pets loved her. Highly recommend!
Kimberly was a wonderful sitter who watched our two cats for us while we were out. She was willing to come a day early to help acclimate herself with the animals, and this was exceedingly helpful in making sure the cats would be comfortable with her during our absence. I would highly recommend Kimberly if you're looking for a responsible, caring sitter.
Wow! Just wow! We cannot say enough about the care and compassion Trisha and John provided to our cats and our home. We are always somewhat nervous about a new pet sitter in our home, but that all faded when we met this wonderful couple. They provided daily updates as requested, complete with pictures, videos and personalized captions. Upon our return, we were greeted by happy and content kitties. There was no sign of anxiety in Tika! Yea!!! Our home was clean, the sheets and towels were washed and bed remade! They even left behind thank you notes and little gifts! What a breath of fresh air these two individuals are! We hope to have them back again soon.
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.
Catherine was a wonderful sitter for our 17 year old cat Zabba. She sent us pictures twice a day and kept us informed about Zabba’s daily activities. We came home to a clean home and would definitely recommend her as a pet/ house sitter. My only concern was that she doesn’t drive and with an older cat, I just prayed that Zabba didn’t need to go to the vet…. And he didn’t 🥰. We will ask her again for sure.
If you are looking for someone to take care of your fur babies and your house while you're away, Daniel is your guy! I had discovered zeewoi just a couple of weeks before I was to leave on vacation and I was not only apprehensive if the website was too good to be true, but also under a real time crunch. I reached out to over 100 local sitters and several possibilities fell through. I was confident I would find the right sitter and when Daniel applied for the sit and I started to text and converse with him, I knew I had found the perfect sitter for my two cats! Daniel was upbeat and positive, articulate and personable, warm and caring, and he asked all the right questions about Lilly and Eli (I hadn't had the time to complete my Welcome Guide, yet!?!). I shared that I had an easy cat and problem cat -- Lilly, who is sweet, social and eats dry food, and Eli who is skittish, was periodically pooping outside the kitty litter box and was eating prescription canned food twice a day mixed with a probiotic and stool firmer. I asked if he thought he was up for the job and he happily said he was. Since he flew all the was from Chicago, I thought the least my husband and I could do was pick him up at the airport. When he arrived, he pulled out his notebook. He patiently walked with me as I reviewed kitty care, showed him around the house, and where he would be sleeping. He immediately picked up Lilly who was excited about meeting her new friend and Eli bugged out and down the stairs to the basement (his favorite hiding place!). We got Daniel connected to the internet, set him up at our dining room table and headed off to airport, leaving our house and kitties in the best of hands. Daniel wanted to make sure I felt comfortable and assured while we were away. He made sure to text with me every other day (he had asked my preference earlier), sent photos of Lilly being her cute self while Eli hid during the day although he gave me assurances that he was eating his food and using the litter box (there were a few accidents, but Daniel never complained about these additional duties). When we returned from our vacation, the house was also spotless and well cared for and Daniel had even washed the sheets for me! It is with utter happiness and complete confidence that I recommend Daniel as a fantastic Sitter. He is trustworthy, responsible, caring, and competent, and you can rest assured that both your house and sweet pets will be watched over and treated with TLC -- and will truly be in the best of hands while you are away!
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.
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.
We've had many pet/house sitters over the last few years and Cat and Eugene will reside at the top of the list of favorites! From my first email with Cat I knew I liked her. She has all of the qualities of a good house and pet sitter: Reliable, a good listener, organized, flexible, caring, and honest. She and Eugene arrived exactly on time for our pre-sit visit, where they got to meet Maya and become familiarized with the house. It was a delight to visit with them and become comfortable knowing Maya would be in good hands. Our scheduled dates changed somewhat and they were extremely flexible and easy going about the changes. Upon our return home, we found the house pretty much in the exact condition we left it in. I can tell that great care was taken for Maya and for the house. Maya seemed to still be looking for them the next day, wandering around the house wondering where the other people who loved her went. I would recommend Cat and Eugene for anyone looking for reliable, kind, respectful, caring, tidy, and honest sitters. If I am lucky, I will get to have them back to sit for me again.
