Highly trustworthy, competent, non-smoking animal lover.
Jinnie took great care of our cat Suki and they became firm friends during her stay. Jinnie was communicative and organised prior to the visit which helped. She was friendly and we had some lovely chats when we returned home.

Robin was as wonderful as all the other reviews have covered. She was very communicative and worked very hard to make sure our sulky dog ate, which we really appreciated. Both our dog and our cat immediately warmed to her and decided she was a friend, which I think is always a great judge of character!

Seek new sights and new friends, both two and four legs.
Ed did a great job with our dog, Sadie. The house looked like no one had been there and Sadie really took to him. Thanks, Ed

Joyful, well-employed, traveler in the “best half” of life!
Lisa was a total rockstar, taking over for the last leg of our multi-month sitter extravaganza. She was super organized, showered the pets with love, and left the house looking better than it did when we first moved in. Highly recommend, and would love to have her back any time. Thanks Lisa!

Unofficial professional pet snugglers!
Sabrina was very attentive to our fur babies. She sent regular pictures and checked in about what was normal and what was not for our old man cat. Highly recommend them! Thank you so much!

Cheers to travel with peace of mind!
Sarah was fantastic. She took excellent care of my pets and even looked out for my house by sending me pictures of a car that parked on my property that shouldn’t have been there. She’s so pleasant and thoughtful, sending me pictures of my Great Dane and cat. She even let my Great Dane sleep with her (he’s used to sleeping with me) which shows just how wonderful she is and patient since he’s a bed hog. I truly hope she will sit for me again in the future - she’s an absolute gem.

Down to earth, responsible, animal lover who loves to travel!
I spent some time with this young couple and enjoyed getting to know them. This was the first time I had a child with the sitter. Pippa slept with the child part of the first night! If my cats are happy, I'm happy. I would invite them again.

Peace of mind while you are away!
Jane and Michael were phenomenal house guests. They took very good care of all 3 of our dogs while we were gone for a week. Great communication at all times, never had to worry. Left our house very clean as if they were never there. Wouldn't hesitate to invite them back!

Emily and Beth were great Sitters, the looked good after our Pets 2 Dogs and 4 Cats. Daily sending us Videos and Fotos. We were very happy to have them here and would love to welcome them again.

Mature, Reliable, and dedicated couple
Susan and Peter were wonderful house and pet sitters! They walked our 3 dogs and played with them in our fenced yard. They kept my garden and house plants watered and they left the house spotless. We were in communication the whole week and they sent pictures of our dogs daily. We couldn’t be happier with the care they gave our dogs! Susan even bathed all 3 the day we were returning! We highly recommend Susan and Peter.
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.
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.
Kathryn was amazing. She helped me figure plans out after another sitter dropped out at the last minute and saved the day! My cat and fish were well taken care of, and she was super communicative when my tank had a problem child moment. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, helpful, and caring sitter!!
After seeing the numerous positive reviews, I knew Cung would be an easygoing and professional cat sitter and house guest, and he was :-) Easy communication, prompt updates and clear concern for Boz & Artie's wellbeing, and pictures of cozying up on the couch together all made our time away secure and stress free. Upon returning home, the cats were chill and the apt was left spotless, as though he hadn't even been there.
Someone was smiling down on us when Kevin and Mary clicked on our very first House Sitter advert. They are straightforward, pleasant, reliable and fun. They kept in touch about their own plans when their flights were delayed. They tactfully left the house when our own cancelled flights meant we were staying a few hours longer than first planned. They sent just the right amount of photos, videos and texts of our cat while we were away! We all loved that. And on our return, oh my word, the house fairies had been to visit! They somehow managed to walk the perfect line between improving everything, without interfering at all. Clean, tidy, replenished. They asked what food we’d like on our return and boy did they deliver! Home made bean stew :-) and different things for the children. Really kind and generous. Communication was clear and also witty..! They dealt with the churn of small mammals our “somewhat independent” cat brought through the flap without complaint. They are a really nice couple, exuding a lovely American warmth and charm. It was a real pleasure, Kevin and Mary, thank you.
Nathalie and John were great! They were great house sitters to watch our two dogs, 2 geckos, our old cat and bull frog. Their two girls took good care of the animals as well. The house was exactly how we left it. We really appreciated their help!
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.
Hannah and Joseph were brilliant sitters - totally reliable and trustworthy. Quick to respond to queries and their past experience with dog/ housesitting was very apparent. Our 2 dogs and 1 cat were well looked after and the house was spotless on our return. We are totally happy to recommend them.
Jinnie was an excellent house sitter for me and my cat Felix. Completely responsible and reliable and helpfully flexible. She was willing to work with me as I dithered on whether I was actually going to go on my trip (which was dependent on good weather), and when I finally decided on making my trip one day shorter. House was clean and organized on my return, and, more importantly, my cat was calm and relaxed on my return. I would happily have Jinnie come sit for me and Felix again.
Heidi was an outstanding cat sitter for my Luna! She was very communicable via calls or texts. She followed all my guidelines for feeding and care of Luna. Luna was very content when I arrived home thanks to Heidi! My home was immaculate when I arrived and she did some snow shoveling. She even pulled a large broken tree branch off my roof following a windstorm. I hope Heidi is available for my next trip because she is awesome. Jim
