Johnna was great at taking care of my kitties and sent me updates and pictures every day which really helped me enjoy my holiday. I came back to a clean home and relaxed kitties. I would be happy to have Johnna house sit for me again.

We were so lucky to have Tristan and Stacy stay with us again this past weekend. We had a potential issue with our travel dates and they were very flexible and accommodating for us. As always they left the house immaculately clean and they took excellent care of our boys. We can’t wait to have them stay with us again soon!

I don’t have words for Monika’s sit at my home!! So I’ll ramble a bit.. Monika is the most thoughtful human in the universe. She completely vibed with my doggo and took her to a chillax concert in the park and to visit her dad. Of course she checked in first to see that Aris would be ok in the car and at the event, and I got to see pics. It was kind of like seeing pics of your kids at summer camp having the times of their life and NOT missing mom! Heart warming to say the least. Monika and Aris spent hours in the yard soaking in the sun and hanging out- I got videos and pics all along the way which I LOVED. I also received so many pics of the cats…I could see that Simba approved immediately of the new human, and I was so happy to see Zazu warmed up pretty fast too. (Zazu is a weirdo but he knows good people- Monika is good people). I also cannot believe Monika’s attention to my yard and garden. I mean ..I knew she had the interest and experience, and I gave her free reign because I definitely have a jungle to work with…but I was pleasantly surprised a few times with little videos of things she recommended to make certain plants or trees grow better and reports on bits of trimming she did. It was my first year with a veggie garden- so I learned a few things there too. I got a redecorated set of window boxes in my pool shed, a new wreath for the fall, and a bouquet from my garden when I returned home - all stuff from mu jungle yard - who knew my jungle could become so beautiful♥️ Overall, 5 stars is not enough and I would be more than happy to have Monika back. Aris, Zazu and Simba all thank you for a wonderful week Monika!! PS I already gave that baby blue more sun... I want her to grow faster too!

Rick is great. It's our second time having him as a petsitter, and my cat loves him. He sends very details updates with photos, and even put up with terrible water pressure (due to a broken pump) for the length of his stay. He is a nice person and a pet lover.

James and Darla arrived the evening before their sit, as we always do this with our sitters. We went out for a meal and had a lovely evening getting to know them both. They are a charming, intelligent and caring couple who could converse with anyone, about anything!!! Their care for our pups was immediately obvious, as they spent time interacting with all 3, to get to know them a little before we left on our trip the next morning. We received pupdates, videos and photos daily, to reassure us, and to give us our required "fix"! The house was spotless on our return and we came home to 3 very zenned out Ds, what a fabulous couple! We have no hesitation in recommending James and Darla, they are gentle, caring, dedicated and more than competent. We very much hope they will visit with us again, whether sitting or as guests, they would be most welcome!!!

This was our third sit with Beth. She is an excellent sitter. She is fantastic with our cat and leaves our apartment spotless. We knew that even though we were going to be mostly out of touch, that we could completely rely on her. Don't hesitate to have Beth sit for you.

Mikhal and Nitzan were wonderful!! They made our 5 week vacation a breeze, as well as our transition home after being away for such a long period of time. From the start (video call), we could tell that Mikhal and Nitzan had a love of cats and would take great care of Ugi. Not to mention all the amazing 5 star reviews they already had on zeewoi. On the day of our departure they came a few hours early for a tour of the apartment and we had a chance to enjoy their company over lunch. They always asked great questions about Ugi and the apartment. During our vacation, communication was easy and we could tell that Ugi was well taken care of and having a great time from the photos and videos we received. They even brought some of their own toys for Ugi to enjoy. Plus, anything relevant that came up during the trip Mikhal messaged us about so we were in the loop. Upon returning home, Mikhal and Nitzan waited for our flight to land before they left to ensure we returned to the country on time so that Ugi would have continuous care. We arrived to a clean home and a happy cat who was her usual self (it didn't seem like we had ever been away). Would definitely have Mikhal and Nitzan stay at our home again :) I'm certain that Ugi would instantly remember them :)

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!

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!

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!

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.

Elisabeth was an excellent sitter for our cat.  We were away for two weeks and received daily photos and notes from her about Catman's activities (i.e., sleeping and eating).  She is definitely a cat lover and that was evident from our cat's calm behavior when we returned.

Daniel and Vasylyna were incredible house sitters and we would welcome them back to sit for us again any time they are available! They were fantastic communicators, making sure to work out details far in advance and they sent frequent picture updates of our animals which made us so happy while we were away. When the power went out in the neighborhood while they were here leading to a technology issue with our alarm system, they handled everything well. Upon our return, the house was clean, the garden was thriving and well cared for, and our dog and cat were clearly very loved while we were away - in fact our dog was sooooo sad to see them leave! I had the pleasure of getting to know them a bit before I left, and they are such a kind, adventurous, and great couple. I would highly recommend having Daniel and Vasylyna take care of your house, plants, and animals!

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.

Elyse was one of the best pet sitters we've ever met! Couldn't recommend her more. We hope she stays at our place again. She sent many pictures of our beloved cats throughout our absence. We returned to our cats seeming relaxed and happy as ever. She also left our apartment sparkling clean. 10/10 :)

If Macie and Roman ever apply to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the. offer. You will not be disappointed. They are among the top (if not the top) sitter I've ever had and I've been on this site for years. Primarily, they are very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Macie and Roman kept me abreast of their 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 them through the instructions would work as planned.

Second, Macie and Roman really care. When they got to my apartment after a very long morning of traveling, I explained the care instructions and they were 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 Macie and Roman followed those exactly.

Third, Macie and Roman make 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 of hiding very quickly and was snuggling with them and letting them hold him. It was so nice to see the pictures of them all bonding! Macie and Roman have a calming energy towards animals for sure! Macie and Roman were also very responsive when I reached out
first - replying within 30 minutes. I really
appreciated that.

Fourth, Roman and Macie will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. 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. Macie and Roman
also respects your property. We had a room we asked them not to enter and they respected that. 

In short, Macie and Roman are amazing. I would have them back in a heartbeat. If you have any questions I would be happy to answer them. Ask Macie and Roman for my number.

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!
