Lap Pets Cherished by Youthful Mostly Retired Couple
This was Lisa's second stay with Finn and Matteo, and that's always great for the cats. They were happy and healthy when I returned, and I was grateful for photos, Lisa's reports about them, and the time she spent with some supplemental plant watering. I really appreciated how responsive she was to my occasional check-ins, and I'd love to invite her back anytime. Thanks Lisa!

Responsible Animal Lover & Experienced Caretaker
Stephanie was an excellent housesitter - personable, responsible, tidy, and an excellent communicator. The chickens and the wood stove exceeded her previous experience but she was up to the challenge and managed beautifully. My only regret is that we didn’t get to spend more time together.

This is Iana’s second time sitting for us and we hope she’ll keep coming back! She gives our critters such great care and leaves the house clean & tidy. We’re so glad zeewoi got us connected!

Kind and caring solo housesitter
Amelia recently stayed at my house to take care of my home and my kitty, Nina, and I couldn't be more pleased with her services. From the start, she communicated clearly and proactively, ensuring I felt at ease while away. She regularly shared updates on how Nina was doing, including sending adorable pictures, which I appreciated immensely. Amelia left my house immaculate, showing her respect and care for my home. She was the PERFECT house sitter, exceeding all my expectations. I highly recommend her and sincerely hope to have her back in the future. Thank you, Amelia, for your outstanding care and professionalism!

Homeowner, gardener, retired, seeks critter companionship
Lisa kept communication with us and took pictures reassuring us that the cats and the chickens and the garden were in great hands. We came home to a well cared for and very clean house and happy pets. All that and she’s very friendly and kind as well. If she has the opportunity to housesit for you, you will have found a treasure. Thank you Lisa!

Katie was a great house/pet sitter while we were away. We had an unexpected freeze and she was very helpful in taking house preparations which I greatly appreciated. We returned to a tidy home and happy pets.

Friendly and flexible loving caregiver.
Kate was great! After meeting her in person, I could tell that she was very reliable and communicative, and would be a perfect sitter for my cats. It was so nice to be away and not worry about the sitter as I knew Kate would take care of everything! And she did. She sent me pics while I was away and she also was willing to handle an unplanned home repair. Most importantly, the cats were very happy and seemed well cared for when I returned. I will definitely ask Kate to sit again!
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!
Anna was an excellent sitter - she took great care to understand all of the intricacies of taking care of the house and cats, asked lots of questions, and arrived on time and ready for the sit. During the trip, she checked in with updates, and upon returning home, left the space tidy and clean. The cats were happy and healthy, and seemed to have had a great time during the sit. Thanks Anna!
Great sitter would hire Stephen and Jenny in a heartbeat. Great with dogs cat and house
Kathryn was a wonderful sitter for Princessa! She was flexible and communicative and took great care of my cat and home.
strongly recommend Christine and Phil to housesit for your kitty. Our pets, Babbles and Cousin Eddy, and property, were in very good hands while we where away for two weeks. They had a fair amount entailed with two cats on different food and needs. Cousin Eddy, or Edoardo, is a barn cat we recently adopted. Eddy is very sweet and stays outside but hangs out the side door wanting to be petted and fed; Bubbles is an indoor cat. Both cats were spoiled by Christine and Phil! Christine and Phil were also very caring and attentive with the needs of our Airbnb guests. During the time we were away they kept us updated daily (including photos of the cats). When we came home, our house was perfect, with lovely fresh flowers, notes for us, and our cats had been well-cared-for. They are wonderful house sitters, and we highly recommend them. They were Five-star sitters of our house and cats!
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!
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 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!
Greetings Pet People, I am a bit late leaving my review for Kristine who is local to us and has taken care of our kitties Max and Luis a few times this year. After COVID-19 was announced in March, our travel plans came to an abrupt halt. We had to cancel a lot of trips we had planned but decided that it was safe to go camping a couple of times this summer. We called on Kristine as one of our favorite sitters on this site. We discussed safety protocols and agreed to cleaning that we would do to leave the house safe for her to enter. She shared protocols that she had taken with other homeowners and had sound processes to make us feel safe leaving our cats and our home in her care. She even purchased batteries for our automatic cat feeder when it failed to let one of our confused kitties to eat. Kristine is a smart, humorous and a thoughtful person. I would not hesitate to recommend her for your sit. She truly loves animals and taking care of your home. Highly recommended! Thanks Kristine!
Cat and Paul were wonderful sitters - our cats were contented and calm when we returned. And the house was spotless. Plus Paul mowed our entire yard including the back meadow - what a surprise! We very much enjoyed visiting with them as well and getting to know them. Highly recommend :)
