Melipeuco, Chile
We are Camila and Tiare! Chileans soon in Europe looking for little friends :)
Sadly my experience with Camilla and Tiare was very bad. I have never had a bad experience using the site, so I acted with a lot of trust towards the girls. It was not possible for me to personally meet the sitters beforehand because they arrived after my departure. I therefore agreed with the sitters to lock themselves in and greet the dogs. The dogs are extremely loving towards everyone, so I trusted this process would run smoothly. The communication was not good and I could not get a hold of Camilla on the day of their arrival, making me anxious if the dogs were left alone too long. A few days into the sit I receive complaints from my neighbors about extreme noise. They are aware there is sitters and tell me that since the sitters arrival the dogs have been loud, but that particular day the dogs had been barking all day. This is not normal behavior from my dogs. My dogs can bark if they hear people passing in the building, but barking all day is worrying. I therefore immediately contact Camilla and am super worried. She claims the dogs are not left alone, but bark all day in their presence. The dogs have been with sitters at least once a month the past year and this has never been the case. I therefore know that the dogs are either very mistreated for them to bark in their presence or Camilla is lying about them leaving the dogs. A condition of being able to take the sitting was that I had a mover coming to take a moving load prepared in the kitchen. This was mentioned in the listing and I also made sure to double confirm with Camilla before accepting them as sitters that they read and agreed to this, as it was very important to me that the sitter knew this was a term for agreeing to the sit. Upon the day of the mover's arriving (the day after my neighbors complaining) I planned with my mom to stop by and supervise the mover as well as check on the dog's wellbeing. All of this I of course communicated to Camilla who was aware that my mom would come. The girls did nothing to try and calm my moms worries and closed themselves alone in the bedroom before asking if they could leave for the shop. This means my mom was alone with the 3 dogs when the mover was there. The first thing the dogs did when my mom came in was to pee and poop themselves in front of her. As my mom inspected the apartment there was dry pee and poop everywhere. It was clear that Camilla and Tiare had not walked my dogs, not even before my moms arrival. There was pee and poop from several days and my mom had to clean my apartment. My mom took the dog out for a walk and my dogs had severe diarrhea from likely being fed human food by the sitters. One of the dogs had dried diarrhea all over her backside. My mom was shocked that they would not even try to clean before her arrival or try to speak to her, as the sitters we usually have, have cared so strongly about the wellbeing of my dogs. I immediately contacted the emergency line on Trustenhousesitters and was guided to ask the sitters to leave immediately, which I did. I told the girls that treating my animals this way and leaving my house in such poor and unhygienic state was unacceptable. Camilla later claimed that there was no cleaning products to clean after the dogs. This is simply not true as I have a whole cabinet of cleaning supplies in the kitchen and even hot water and soap could have cleaned the pee and poop. There is also a detailed sitter guide with all this information in. I have put a complaint for Camilla and Tiare to be removed from the platform as I feel like they do not have the health of the animals in mind. They seem very young and probably just use this platform to be able to stay for free on their trip around europe.
Reviews from Cat Owners
Claudia
Carole and Ron are excellent cat-sitters! They took very good care of my cat Lola and of my house. I came home to a happy cat and a very clean and tidy house. They sent me pictures of Lola and kept me updated, so that I had a very relaxed holiday. I very highly recommend them as cat- sitters and I would be thrilled if they would come back to sit for Lola again. Thank you so much!

I never met Joi because due to her work, she arrived after I left and was gone before I returned home. This wasn't a problem at all. She was very self-sufficient and seemed to find all that she needed in my house. The house looked exactly like I left it and my cat seemed very content when I returned. Apparently they had a nightly routine of Luna getting brushed. Joi is a very experienced sitter and it shows.

Chris and Julia were our very first sitters and are the most perfect house/pet sitters anyone would ever want!!! Julia sent video/pictures of our fur babies everyday and we noticed early on that our animals were very relaxed and happy!! This made our trip so enjoyable and stress free knowing that our animals were safe and being spoiled and loved the whole time. They even trained our dog to sit while her leash was being attached and was able to pet and hold our cat that is somewhat nervous around strange people he doesn't know. When I got back from the trip, the house was very clean along with Julia/Chris had washed the bed sheets, bath towels, vacuumed, dusted etc., and even washed the pet bedding. They also left some SE Asia treats for us to try which so sweet of them. Definitely the perfect house sitters!!!

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! Iād 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 š. I would definitely recommend Brian.

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.

Ruoyi was the perfect sitter for our cat Toni! We would highly recommend her to any pet owner, and hope she can sit for us again in the future. Ruoyi was very thorough - she made sure there was full alignment on all the specifics of her pet duties, and she asked thoughtful questions regarding details we forgot to include in our guide. She always provided us timely updates at the agreed cadence, and gave us a ton of photos. From the photos, it's clear she got in a lot of play time with Toni, which we really appreciated! :) We were able to enjoy our entire vacation stress-free knowing Toni was in such good hands. Ruoyi left our apartment completely clean and offered to wash linens.

Jenny was an absolute delight, lovely to speak to and patient with last minute changes. I have had bad experiences with trusting people with my cats before so was really anxious as Jenny is the first house sitter I have used from zeewoi. But, I felt at ease as soon as I spoke to her, she has a lovely manner and she came round the day before the sit to male sure she had every detail right. But I think the thing that helped the most was her regular updates about my cats. I could see from the videos she sent they were given lots of love and attention. My cats don't usually play with people but my little girl seemed to love her! My flat was immaculate when I got back as well, I am so grateful to Jenny for all her help and really hope to have her sit for me again!
Kaori
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 :)

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!

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!
