“ I couldn’t be more pleased with the Gabriella! Not only did she take excellent care of my pets, but her attention to cleanliness was top-notch. I came home to a spotless space, and my pets seemed relaxed and happy. Communication was clear, prompt, and reassuring throughout the entire time. I felt completely at ease knowing my pets were in such capable hands. Highly recommend!

Fiona and Alan were excellent house sitters and took wonderful care of our menagerie. While we were overseas, we received regular updates and images of our pets and it was clear the animals were having their own holiday retreat. When we got back home, Fiona and Alan had made a lovely dish for us and left the house immaculate. We couldn't have been happier with the way they looked after our place and animals.

Natacha & Johnathan were the perfect house sitters! From the start they were excellent with their communication, asked all the right questions about looking after the flat/cats and were super flexible when dates slightly changed for us which was really appreciated. Zorro & Sambi clearly loved their company and we received plenty of updates throughout our trip away. Then to top it all off we came home to a spotless flat and a little treat from NZ! I'd recommend Natacha & Johnathan to anyone looking for a sit & would welcome them back any time!! x

Reliable pet-loving kiwi couple
Ruby and Isobel were great with our cat Murko and took excellent care of our flat while we were gone. They were reliable and responsive before, during, and after their stay which put our minds at ease while away. Without hesitation, we would have them housesit for us again.

Recently retired - just getting started - again!
What a fantastic couple! Eric and Lesley were extremely self sufficient and excited to explore the city of Brisbane while engaged in this sit. They created a wonderful bond with our dog, Chester, and looked after our house beautifully. We arrived back to a delicious home cooked dinner, a happy and contented dog and an immaculate home. We could not have asked for more!!! Eric and Lesley are everything you could want as Zeewoi and we would highly recommend them for future sits.

Cheerful, active Kiwis happy to care for your pets and home while you are away.
Anne and Alan were a delight to meet and I was very comfortable leaving Maple in their capable care. They were attentive to her every need, while also taking good care of my home and small garden. Their communication was always timely and clear. I returned home to a happy cat, a clean home and dinner in the fridge. I would welcome them back to take care of Maple and my home anytime.

Experienced Kiwi house sitters looking to work from home in Europe
My dog adored Louise and Josh. They looked after my home and communicated often with updates of their stay. Highly recommend!
It was my first time using zeewoi so I was slightly apprehensive, but as soon as I heard from Kendra I knew both my cat and my apartment would be in safe hands. Kendra was great with communicating and coming back quickly, very friendly and clearly experienced with sitter jobs. Whilst staying at my place she sent me regular updates. Once I returned home the flat was spotless. I would highly recommend Kendra and I would certainly use her again. She’s great!
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.
Cung is a diligent and communicative cat sitter and house guest, and we'd highly recommend him! We hope to have him back again soon
Sabre is a sweet, honest person who stepped up at the very last moment (after the prior sitter flaked out) to watch our dog and cat for 17 days. When there were a couple minor accidents, she informed us of them right away. One involved a burnt pan (easy to do if you’re not familiar with an induction stovetop) which she offered to replace. Sabre also washed the towels and sheets, and made up the bed before we got home. The yard was pooper scooped and litter box was clean. Pets seemed well-cared for. When she had to leave town for several hours one day, she made sure to arrange for our neighbor take care of the pets. Additionally, I appreciated how she didn’t assume that it would be ok to bring her cat. When we found out she was going to keep her cat in a kennel during her stay here, we told her she could bring him which worked out fine. Overall, I would confidently recommend Sabre to watch your pets and house.
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!
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.
Tonya was great and filled in after our other sitter had to cancel. She was very self sufficient and navigated acclimating herself to everything since she arrived after we left. She gave thoughtful updates on my cat and I could tell she really enjoyed her, so that means the world to me! She left the place immaculate and we will certainly have Tonya back!
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!
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!
We've had many pet/house sitters over the last few years and Cat and Eugene will reside at the top of the list of favorites! From my first email with Cat I knew I liked her. She has all of the qualities of a good house and pet sitter: Reliable, a good listener, organized, flexible, caring, and honest. She and Eugene arrived exactly on time for our pre-sit visit, where they got to meet Maya and become familiarized with the house. It was a delight to visit with them and become comfortable knowing Maya would be in good hands. Our scheduled dates changed somewhat and they were extremely flexible and easy going about the changes. Upon our return home, we found the house pretty much in the exact condition we left it in. I can tell that great care was taken for Maya and for the house. Maya seemed to still be looking for them the next day, wandering around the house wondering where the other people who loved her went. I would recommend Cat and Eugene for anyone looking for reliable, kind, respectful, caring, tidy, and honest sitters. If I am lucky, I will get to have them back to sit for me again.
