Responsible, Experienced, and Loving Pet/House Sitter
It was such a pleasure to host Tricia! She was incredibly kind, organized, and responsive, and took care of our two cats like they were her own. We would welcome Tricia to stay at our house again and highly recommend her for other sits 😊

Marta is a repeat house/pet sitter for me. She is great all the way around and I know my pets are happy and well cared for while she is here. Marta is super with communication and I can travel without worry knowing she is at my house.

Homebody, travel enthusiast w/ a love for cats & washing dishes to unwind
Can’t thank Joyce enough for giving us a piece of mind during our month abroad. Right from the start, she was kind, thoughtful, professional and easy to communicate with. She took great and loving care of our two cats and our plants have never looked happier! She went above and beyond to love on our kitties including making them little forts to play in. Joyce is an easy 5 star recommendation and we would ask her back again any time!

Deborah was amazing from the start! Very organized and flexible prior to arriving for the sit, extremely self-sufficient and responsible, left the house in excellent condition and I can tell she genuinely cared about our fur babies. We would welcome her back in a heartbeat! Xx

Professional, working couple
Joseph and Hannah are the dream team! They were committed to taking the very best care of our 3 dogs. They sent photos and messages regularly letting us know how they were all doing. We came home to happy dogs, food in the refrigerator for dinner, fresh flowers and a bottle of wine. They are an awesome couple and we will definitely meet up with them again in the future. Thank you both so very much!

The Purrrrrrr-fect Sojourners
We were very happy with Sheri and Kevin. They made an effort to come over before the sit to meet the cats and get an overview of the house. They asked good questions. During the sit Sheri sent photos and shared updates. We came home to a very clean house and happy cats. I would recommend Sheri and Kevin.

Experienced House & Pet Sitter • 100% Remote Business Owner
It was a pleasure to have Nick sit for us again. He was communicative throughout our time away and sent us daily photos and videos of the cats. We came back to a clean house and three cats that were obviously pampered and cared for while we were away.

Throughout the sit, Jennifer and Sandy kept us informed. Their communication was excellent, letting us know all of our cats’ antics while we were away. And they sent lots of pictures and videos showing that our cats were getting lots of love, attention, and care. We were very impressed and pleased with how well everyone bonded. When we got home, our house was clean, tidy, and 100% ready for our return. We recommend Jennifer and Sandy very highly. They’re wonderful housesitters.

Former Pet and Farm Sitting Business Owner and Dog Trainer!
What an amazing comfort to have Halston in our home! I knew that our pet was cared for, our hole was safe and everything was well while we were away. Regular check ins, answers when I needed something, cute pics… if you can get a house sit with Halston, do it! ❤️
Toby and Chloe were amazing pet sitters. It wasn’t the easiest sit - a nervous dog and 3 cats with various ailments and medication to have, but they took it all in their stride and cared for them so well without any issues. Our nervous dog Zelda warmed to them in just 2 days which is a record for house sitters so far! I also really enjoyed getting to know them over dinner the night before I left, they’re very easygoing and positive people. They also left the house spotless for when I came back. I would love to have them sit for us again. You can rest assured your house and animals are in safe hands with this lovely pair!
Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!
We are thoroughly pleased with and impressed by Daniel's kind, generous, and careful care of our cat and our house. He is a committed and experienced sitter who completely understands his role and responsibilities and also how to gently win the confidence and affection of a pet. He is an excellent communicator, and he kept us regularly up to date on our cat's well being--sending us texts and photos at least once/week as we requested. Our cat who is a little afraid of new people, grew fond of him, and we have returned to a very calm, contented cat. We highly recommend Daniel, and we ourselves would be thrilled to engage him again when the need arises.
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
We were so pleased to meet John and Trisha! We had them come in a day before we left and enjoyed a nice meal with them and they got to meet Delilah (even if she didn’t seem interested) but she soon warmed up to them - except for the Cat Videos - she wasn’t very interested 🤣 When we returned our home was so clean (probably cleaner than we left it)! We got frequent pics and updates on our Princess! They also left us with a Progress Report with Delilah’s activities and what they did at the house before they left. We would highly recommend John & Trisha if you are lucky enough to have them apply for a House Sitters job! Bill, Kathy & Delilah 🐈⬛❤️
Kathryn was a wonderful sitter for Princessa! She was flexible and communicative and took great care of my cat and home.
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.
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.
My partner and I left our cat Mango in Lindsey's care for a month so that we could get married. We were going from FL to ME, so it was a long way from home. We were gone for a month. Picking the right houses sitter was important. We are so glad we picked Lindsey (and she picked us). From before Lindsey got on her plan to fly down, until she was back home again Lindsey was communicative, considerate and positive. We felt like we had a family member staying at our place and because of who she is, Mango and our home's well being was a weight off our mind during the wedding. If the need arises in the future we will definitely be giving her the right of first refusal. Thank you so much Lindsey!
Caroline was a fabulous sitter and looked after our cat and the house beautifully. She is sensible and very self-sufficient but also kept us informed. We came home to a happy cat and a tidy house. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others and hope she will sit for us again in the future!
