Reliable & affectionate animal-lover available on short notice
As this was our first experience using Zeewoi, I honestly can't imagine it having gone any better. Sarah and Orlando were great at keeping us informed of anything that they felt we'd probably like to be aware of. With one "old soul" who needed alot of TLC and a "teenage puppy", who wants to be the center of attention, they had their hands full and handled the whole thing like it was no big deal. They followed our instructions completely - eye wiping and drops every day, daily walks with Gus and even the weekly bath for Brinkley. We have never left our pets anywhere and come home to them looking better and happier than our experience with Sarah and Orlando. The house was perfectly clean. It was obvious that the dogs had been loved and well cared for. And let's be honest.....a month is a long time to be in someone else's home. We wouldn't hesitate to invite them back anytime they want to come.

Patricia and Fernando were brilliant from start to finish. Great communication and flexibility from start to finish. Our dogs were really well looked after while we were away and we got daily photo updates. House was spotless on our return. Would highly recommend and welcome them back in an instant.

Friendly, reliable & warmhearted animal lover
Julie is an angel! She is the absolute best and has the kindest, softest soul and energy. Our cat LOVES her so much that this was her third stay with us and Dolce seems to get so excited when she comes over. We honestly just can't say enough great things about Julie. She's kind, respectful, organized, comunicative—generally just everything you want (and more) out of someone who is watching your pet while you're away! Don't hesitate to have Julie watch your sweet furry family members. If we could have her over every time we travel we would!!!

Your Pet's Perfect Pal: Trustworthy, full of love, fun, and ready for adventure!
Pamela and Pedro were absolutely lovely and Twiglet was so happy with them. Their communication both before and during the sit was fantastic and we really enjoyed the daily photos and videos. The house was immaculate when we returned. I would highly recommend them and Twigs would love them to look her after again!

We can not recommend Joanne highly enough : she did a TREMENDOUS job taking care of our elderly cat who had just went through emergency surgery. Joanne took beautifully care of her, especially in everyday post-op treatments. She sent us pictures several times a day as we asked, so we could see how our cat was healing. She left our flat spotless, which was very much appreciated. Joanne truly is a real catlover, patient and caring. Nothing was too much trouble for her. We felt so relieved to have her take care of our cat, she was a life savier ! Thank you so much for everything Joanne, hope to see you again soon ! Nala misses you ;-)

It is not the first time Danilo looked after Gucci and we had another great experience with him. The house was looking good and Gucci was happy. It was a pleasure to have him back. We hope to host him again in the future.

What a pleasure it was to have Caris stay and take care of our kitties! Caris has an incredible energy and was very attentive in her listening and questioning when we first spoke, which immediately set us at ease. She stayed at our house for 2 weeks and took excellent care of our home and cats; everything was sparkling clean when we returned and our animals were very happy and relaxed. One of them even got onto her suitcase to try to leave with her when she departed! We wouldn't hesitate to welcome her back into our home for another sit, and anyone who is lucky enough to nab her will be very glad they did! A+++, thank you Caris! Hope to see you again!

Responsible and Experienced Housesitters
Vayola and JD were a blessing. They took care of our home like it was their own. Communication was out standing and they worked to keep up our home inside and out. We would welcome them back anytime.
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!
Seàn was an amazing pet and house sitter! He was super communicative and took amazing care of my dog Nala and cat Bruce. They were happy and loved while I was away- I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for the two little fur babies! He sent great pictures and checked in every day so I had nothing to worry about. On top of all that, he also kept my place immaculately clean and left my place in wonderful shape. We can’t wait to have him back to sit and I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone looking for a sitter!
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!!
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.
Kerry and Megan were wonderful sitters and took great care of our two cats while we were on vacation for two weeks. They were responsive, gave us regular updates, and seemed to really care about Tumba and Cappa. When Tumba was more timid toward the beginning of our trip and not eating her meals fully, Kerry was sure to ask for additional suggestions from us on how to coax her to eat more. Kerry and Megan also left the house just as we'd left it for them. We really appreciated them going the extra mile to ask about additional cleaning products so they could clean our bathrooms. It felt great to come home and just relax without needing to remake the bed. Thanks for everything, Kerry and Megan! We would certainly entrust our home and kitties to you again in the future.
Becca was fantastic - we cannot say enough about how great she is as a pet and house sitter and as a human being! Becca committed to the sit 8 months in advance and was great with her responsiveness in communication during the long lead up to the sit. She arrived early and got the low downs on the animals and house stuff prior to us leaving. She woke up crazy early to help us get to the airport and picked us up when we returned, which made the traveling so much easier on our end. She left the house spot-less (and this is no exaggeration), with the linens cleaned, and a wonderful meal waiting for us upon our return. She is an absolute gem of a person with a great sense of humor and a kind and compassionate nature, and she really enjoys the animals in her care. Our dog and cat were very well cared for and totally at ease upon our return. If you are lucky enough to have Becca sit for you, you will be very pleased at how well she does the job!
We can not exaggerate the care and love Juliet and Laurent gave to our cat, Piero, during his the last few weeks of life. While we left for our trip thinking he merely had a bladder infection, his symptoms turned for the worse a weeks into their sit and later revealed he had cancer. No one would wish their sitter to need to hospice their cat but Juliet and Laurent showed such compassion for Piero and volunteered to be with him when we made the decision to put him down. It was an emotional time for all of us and we will be forever grateful to our two caring cat and house sitters. We have had many fantastic housesitters through zeewoi but Juliet and Laurent top the list. Their professionalism, constant communication and compassion were exceptional. Should you have the opportunity to have them in your home, do not hesitate to book them, you will have no regrets. We do, however, regret that they had such a short time with Piero and had to experience such a painful event.
Florence is everything you want in a cat sitter! We have two cats that need a lot of human attention. One takes multiple medications twice a day and they both are used to eating on their own schedule and having people around so it is always very important to us to find a pet sitter that will be spending a lot of time in the apartment and that doesn't mind being very attentive. We were able to meet Florence before our trip and felt 100% confident that she would take great care of our cats. Florence is comfortable giving medication, she sent us photos and updates and left our apartment spotless. We were so happy that we had her come back the following week when we went away again for a short trip! We will definitely contact Florence again whenever we travel and hope that she is available!
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!
Pennee and Bill were the BEST pet sitters and guests ever! I really wanted them to stay forever ! Our cat, Miss Kitty bonded so much to them, that she really wasn’t that happy to see me when I got home .Our cat is a finicky eater and they tried all different types of food and treats for her. They sent me regular photos of miss kitty and I knew everything was great when most of the pics had miss kitty on their lap. Our cat doesn’t take to many people but she immediately fell in love with them. Pennee sent us our mail and prescription meds on a regular basis , and went out of her way to take care of any issues . They fell in love with the neighbors and community and just made our lives so easy . We experienced the Covid 19 virus outbreak quarantine during this time and Pennee and Bill agreed to stay a month longer at our home . They were extremely flexible with their travel plans so that everyone would be safe. Upon our arrival home, we were greeted with a bouquet of flowers , beautiful hanging basket of flowers for outdoors and a beautiful bottle of wine . And our house had never been cleaner ! Bill and Pennee are a pet owners dream couple !I felt extremely lucky to have found such a great petsitter and new friend . We will be visiting each other in the future .
