If it was possible to leave 10 stars, we would… Giorgio and Federica were 100% reliable, took amazing care of both pets and the house and the Garden were impecable when they left. They Even mowed the lawn and took care of a fire wood delivery that arrived when we were away. They went well beyond every expectation we could reasonably have to Housesitters! The dog enjoyed long daily walks and both pets were beautifully spoilt with cuddles😍.

Gail and Don were perfect sitters. They took the trouble to change their plans to fit in with ours and they were as good as their word with every arrangement. When they arrived we knew immediately we could leave our place with confidence. The house we returned to was immaculate - better than when we left it, and dogs and chickens were happy and well cared for. We were only sorry not to get to spend more time with them but that is the nature of housesitters. We wish them well on their travels and recommend them for housesitting unreservedly. Thanks very nuch, Gail and Don.

Dawn and Kim seemed to love our house as much as they loved our cats! The cats were very happy and content, which is a testament to their great care. They were fantastic house sitters - highly recommended, no trouble at all. We'd definitely have them back again and have already spoken to them about it! Any pets would be lucky to have them sit and look after them - 5 Star!!

Povilas and Simona were PERFECT sitters. They took wonderful care of our home and cat while we were away for nearly a month. They were self sufficient and messaged us regularly with photos of Tuna. We returned to a clean and tidy home. Would absolutely host them again!

Undral was very helpful. I had to arrange the sitting at a very short notice (and while already being away from home) due to a sudden change of plans, and everything went smoothly. Communication was clear, and she handled everything reliably. She also took some pro level photos of my cat 😃

Christine was our first pet sitter ever and we are very pleased with our collaboration and overall experience. We had regular communication during the sit, she provided pictures and updates. When Daphne needed extra attention and medication due to an injury, Christine was thorough and attentive. All the animals were well taken care off, Christine made sure they were fed as instructed, taken for walks and received their daily love and personal attention. Overall Christine is calm, communicative, straightforward, grounded, attentive, trustworthy, discreet, a true animal lover. We would trust her again with our animals, they were all super happy upon our return home!

Silvana and her partner Auber arrived after our departure and managed to settle in easily, thanks to our neighbour who gave them our keys. I would have preferred to meet them before leaving, but everything went smoothly even with that minor inconvenience. They arrived punctually and took care of our three cats following our instructions. They sent us regularly updates and photos of our pets and we felt everything was under control. We met them when we came back and it was pleasant chatting with them. The house was clean, the cats looked healthy and quiet, everything was in order. I definitely recommend them as they are ready to fit in with your needs, reliable, self-sufficient and helpful.

Julia was an amazing sitter and we couldn't be happier with our experience! From our first contact to when we arrived home after our trip, communication was excellent and we were able to enjoy our time away with complete peace of mind that our pets and our home were in good hands. We particularly appreciated how clean and tidy everything was when we got home with the linens and towels all washed and dried! Our cats clearly didn't miss us a bit - they were relaxed, their coats brushed and were giving us side-eye "oh, so, back to normal then? " looks as we unpacked. Thanks for everything Julia!

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!

Chris was an outstanding pet sitter and I would definitely use him again! He is reliable, responsible, and thorough.

I was able to FaceTime Chris prior to the sit and he spent a lot of time answering and asking questions. I felt confident after speaking with him. 

Throughout the weekend, Chris communicated clearly through texting. He let me know when he arrived and left which was helpful. He also sent photos and updates of both my cats. My boy cat has occasional anxiety issues which cause UTI's. Andy had a flare up while I was away and Chris was very attentive to him and let me know how he was doing.  Chris did not seem to mind taking extra care of him which I very much appreciate. 

Chris left my house clean and even washed the sheets and towels he used before leaving!

I feel that Julia is simply the best person and pet sitter I could ask for.  They really cared for our cat and gave him lots of attention.  She is flexible, upbeat, reliable, considerate and great at communicating.  I highly recommend Julia and Chris.

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.

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.

Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!

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.

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!

Kristine was wonderful again as our local sitter from just down the street. 
The boys take to her like she is their best friend whenever she comes to sit with them. She sent us photos of them playing, relaxing, drinking water and eating so we knew they were well taken care of. 
The house and the cats were in excellent shape and excellent hands while we were away. It is wonderful that she enjoys the house and the cats so much and tells us so.
Kristine comes with our highest recommendation!
Thank you Kristine!
