Eileen and Michael are fantastic sitters! They did a magnificent job caring for our two little Shitzus. They were very responsive and great to work with. They have a special touch with the dogs, took them on long walks, countless belly rubs, had our pups happy and sleeping well. We received a bunch of adorable pictures during their visit too. Really gave us peace of mind during our trip. Eileen and Michael have our highest recommendation! We will definitely ask Eileen and Michael to come back! Dina & Sean

Snuggles, walks and fun galore with an experienced, reliable sitter!
Beth was a fantastic house sitter. This was our first time using zeewoi and we were quite anxious about how it would go but Beth put us at ease immediately. Beth is clearly very experienced with travelling and taking care of peoples pets and homes. We left Beth responsible for our dog, cat and gold fish. Our dog can be extremely anxious and Beth handled this really well, keeping in contact as much as was required and asking for as much information as possible to bond with our dog and ensure the stay ran smoothly. She also handled our dog stealing her shoe on occasion and the cat bringing in a live bird as a present - with no complaints! We came home to very happy healthy pets and a lovely clean home. We would highly recommend Beth for anyone looking for a Zeewoi! Thank you again Beth!! :-) Emily & Olly

New to the zeewoi concept, we are very happy with how this sit went. We planned our trip, and this sit, many months ago. Seemed so long ago that we hoped our sitter hadn't forgotten us! It was also a long trip, almost two weeks long. Tommy arrived on schedule and we had a wonderful meet and greet. She was at ease with our animals (two cats and a dog) and immediatley fit in. We left feeling confident our critters and home would be well taken care of. Tommy sent us daily texts, pictures and videos. When we arrived home at the end of our travels, we found the house very neat and clean, and some wonderful treats for us to enjoy. It was obvious that Dot, Andy and Cooper were attached to Tommy and were sad to see her leave. Tommy is a world class sitter and we would love to have her back again!

What a pleasure to meet Matt. He was great with the dog even better knowing that I was leaving the bird in knowledgeable hands. He kept me updated every day. He is the best. the house was lovely. There were not enough stars.

Thoughtful and Tidy, I am a friend to all animals.
Deidre was our first ever sitter on zeewoi, so we were probably a bit more anxious about leaving our girls than other veteran users. Deidre was great about checking in 2x a day with photos, communicating any questions she had about our home, and left the place as clean as it was when she arrived! We felt SO much more at ease during our 7 day trip knowing that they were in good hands. When we got home, our kitties did not appear stressed out at all — while happy to see us, they were much more calm than when we would use drop-in sitters. We would definitely recommend!

Another great sit with Alexis! If she is in your area looking to sit - do not hesitate to reach out and confirm her to watch your home and pets. 100% recommended!

Two girls that really loves all pets. Bringing joy to your house : )
Another great sit. Tarsila and Ariane have sat for me frequently. I always check to see if they are available when I travel. The pets love them and I know my home will be well taken care of.

Nancy kept us informed of issues around the house and yard. She took great care of Abby cat.
Cynthia was a perfect pet sitter for our little kitty. We knew from her extensive experience with cats that Nala was in good hands. She was extremely responsive via texts when we were away, ensuring us that the 2 of them were having a great time. She went absolutely above and beyond by scrubbing our bath and toilets to remove our mineral deposit rings that we haven't been able to get rid of! She even left the name of the product she used so we can get more in the future. The house was cleaner than when we left. We'll have her back anytime!
I am struggling with naming our top adjective to describe Michael and Jeanne. "Conscientious" will likely be it but then again, "personable," "reliable," "organised," and "animal-loving" are top contenders. If you are reading this review and contemplating inviting this couple to watch your pets, then look no further. We have had a number of excellent house sitters but this pair was next level in terms of the love they showed our cats, Maxx and Nala. When we came back, we could our animals already missed them. These cats, who have never slept with anyone other than us, were getting in bed with them each night -- and that meant climbing stairs! The day before our trip, Nala got an ear infection and had to be put on steroids for asthma. Michael and Jeanne did not sign up for that when the sit was booked but they took it in stride. In the last-minute rush, I relayed that Nala needed her oral steroids morning and night. Michael read the RX label, indicating one dose a day, and contacted the vet to clarify. So you can see why "conscientious" is right up there. They saved Nala from an overdose! We were gone three weeks and they sent us just the right amount of pictures and videos. They bought cat toys (I forgot to put ours out!) and actively engaged with them, including 20-minute massages for Maxx. I truly believed them when they said they fell in love with our fur babies. The house was spotless (which was not important to me but truly appreciated) but I smiled when all six water stations in our yard were filled. They took seriously my love for and the needs of the wildlife in our yard. Our plants were all in good condition as well. Sensing they were "next level" when I met them, I predicted they would want to leave a meal for us upon our return. I asked them not to but they found another way to bow out with class. They made a donation to a nonprofit I work with instead. This I learned from the lovely thank you note they left. I hope they will consider Charles and I friends because we certainly feel that way about them now. What special people. If you book them, treat them well because they are going to do that for you for sure.
Great pet sitter - took perfect care of our cat and our home. They were super communicate leading up to and during the sit and left our apartment in great shape. I'd absolutely recommend them to any future sitters!
Marianna was an incredible house sitter and cat sitter. She gave our property and sweet kitty top notch care. She is kind, easy to communicate with, thorough, etc. Would highly recommend her, you will not be disappointed.
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.
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.
Oh wow! Everyone should be so lucky to have Nicholas and Veerle watch their house and pets. These lovely people are pros! They communicated early and often, were super accommodating to some last minute changes (it was originally going to be only our cats to watch but we decided to keep the dog home as well so that added to the schedule and care needs) and they left the house spotless and all set up for another sitter who came in after them. We didn’t get the chance to meet because my departure and arrival times but I dearly hope I get to in the future because they were just great! I even heard how nice they were from My neighbors who say them out walking our dog. :-) They also sent regular pictures of the pets which look like pro-photography! Cannot recommend this couple enough! Your pets and house will be in good hands!
Jenima is an excellent sitter! She is organized, communicative and flexible throughout the stay. We needed a sitter at the last minute because Jazz got sick, and Jenima saved us. We left a little worried about him, but Jenima took care of him really well and kept us informed. Cats love her! We definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!
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.
Ann Marie was an excellent house sitter who went above and beyond. She flew in a day early and stayed at a local hotel so we she could meet my cat and get the keys before my early flight the next morning. When I returned, she and Tryke were best friends and the house was immaculate. She even washed the sheets and towels, and remade the bed. I strongly recommend Ann Marie for any future sits!
