Experienced House and Pet Sitters
Every time we have Earl and Mary, or one of them, to sit for us it is a no-worries sit. They are reliable and careful with pets and home. They are a genuinely good couple who communicate easily and leave the house as clean as when they arrived.

Mature, kind, non-smoking couple with lots of love for your pets and home
We cannot express enough gratitude to the wonderful pet/house sitters you are who cared for our beloved cat Zoe and our home while we were away. Your flexibility with last minute requests (e.g taking care of the orchid) , kindness (e.g with the few ants), professionalism, and genuine love for animals truly shone through during your time with Zoe. We returned to a happy and content kitty, and our house was immaculate and spotless! Your regular updates provided us with reassurance, and the level of care and attention you gave to Zoe exceeded our expectations. It's evident that you went above and beyond in every aspect. Your dedication and reliability gave us peace of mind throughout our trip, and we didn't worry one bit knowing she was in such capable hands. We are incredibly thankful for your exceptional service and would wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone in need of pet or house sitting services. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for taking such good care of Zoe and our home. You are truly amazing!

Very Friendly Dog Owning Couple in Mid 30's Who Love Animals & Travel
I knew from their previous reviews that they were thoughtful, reliable, and gracious. After our first video conference call, I knew I liked them right off the bat -so charming and fun and interesting. They communicated well from their first application through preparing for the sit while I was away. I never had a moment hesitation leaving my beautiful pets in their care. They had great questions while they were here and communicated daily while I was away. Luckily, when I returned, we had time to catch up about their time here and I appreciate them cleaning up after themselves, doing the laundry and leaving the house spotless I could tell my animals certainly love them, as my dog was happy to see me, but actually spent her time cuddling with them until after they left. I would 100% recommend them to anybody wanting fabulous people to take care of their home and animals. You would be lucky to get them. I look forward to seeing them again, hopefully!

Professional Pet Snuggler
Well, suffice to say...Miss Abby wasn't as excited as usual to see us upon our return! I think she would glad have Jo move in permanently. Jo gave timely updates and sent some pretty sweet pictures. She cared for and loved Abby as we would. Our home was left immaculate and neighbors who met Jo were smitten with her...great person..great petsitter! Awesome housesitter! Thanks Jo❤

Adventurous retired couple
We had to leave early so the handover was not in person. But they were wonderful about that and since they were experienced sitters took in their stride. Lots of photos, good comments from the nieghbours and I felt very comfortable leaving the doggies with them.

Creative, fit older couple seeking interesting places
We were surprised after seeing so many rave reviews for Myron and Kate that they arrived so late in the day for the sit and disregarded the TH guidelines for the care of our home. They left unwashed sheets on the bed and used towels in the kitchen and bathroom, didn’t take out trash or pick up mail. Our cat seemed distressed when we arrived home seeking comfort and play. We feel that they treated our home like a hotel. Disappointed!

Experienced and trust worthy
This is the second time I have had Heather care for our dog and house. I can not state enough praise about her. She is very organized, fabulous in communication and daily pictures. We came home to a content dog and a meal prepared for us!

Trusted House Sitter & Pet Lover
Gideon spent a lot of time with our two, active Australian Cattle dogs. He took them for several walks and jogs and played ball with them. He took the time to figure out their personalities. We could tell they were attached to him when we came home. He communicated throughout the stay and cleaned the house and my car even though we told him it wasn’t necessary. We highly recommend him, especially if your pets need a lot of exercise like ours.
Cynthia was a perfect pet sitter for our little kitty. We knew from her extensive experience with cats that Nala was in good hands. She was extremely responsive via texts when we were away, ensuring us that the 2 of them were having a great time. She went absolutely above and beyond by scrubbing our bath and toilets to remove our mineral deposit rings that we haven't been able to get rid of! She even left the name of the product she used so we can get more in the future. The house was cleaner than when we left. We'll have her back anytime!
This was our first time using zeewoi and we were a little apprehensive, especially as we were going away for almost 5 weeks, but we really didn’t need to be. Mary and Kevin were fantastic from the start. They had excellent communication and put us at ease straight away. They looked after both our cats with lots of care and we came home to two very happy and content kitties. Mary and Kevin struck the balance just right whilst we were away by keeping us informed of how the cats were and sending pictures of what the cats were up to every couple of days. It was so lovely to know that the cats were enjoying themselves and being so well looked after whilst we were away. Mary and Kevin also looked after our house extremely well and we came back to a very clean and tidy home. We would definitely recommend Mary and Kevin to anyone needing a house sitter and would love for them to sit for us again if they were ever back in the area.
Kendra was a great cat sitter to Genepi and she truly is a cat whisperer. Genepi usually takes 4 days to make friends with a new person but she came out and made friends with Kendra Day 1! Kendra regularly sent wonderful videos and pics of Genepi purring happily. The apartment was neat when we returned and our garden was blossoming. Would absolutely ask Kendra to sit again and highly recommend her. Thanks Kendra!!
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!!!
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.
We can not exaggerate the care and love Juliet and Laurent gave to our cat, Piero, during his the last few weeks of life. While we left for our trip thinking he merely had a bladder infection, his symptoms turned for the worse a weeks into their sit and later revealed he had cancer. No one would wish their sitter to need to hospice their cat but Juliet and Laurent showed such compassion for Piero and volunteered to be with him when we made the decision to put him down. It was an emotional time for all of us and we will be forever grateful to our two caring cat and house sitters. We have had many fantastic housesitters through zeewoi but Juliet and Laurent top the list. Their professionalism, constant communication and compassion were exceptional. Should you have the opportunity to have them in your home, do not hesitate to book them, you will have no regrets. We do, however, regret that they had such a short time with Piero and had to experience such a painful event.
Jenima is an excellent sitter! She is organized, communicative and flexible throughout the stay. We needed a sitter at the last minute because Jazz got sick, and Jenima saved us. We left a little worried about him, but Jenima took care of him really well and kept us informed. Cats love her! We definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!
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!
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!
Pennee and Bill were the BEST pet sitters and guests ever! I really wanted them to stay forever ! Our cat, Miss Kitty bonded so much to them, that she really wasn’t that happy to see me when I got home .Our cat is a finicky eater and they tried all different types of food and treats for her. They sent me regular photos of miss kitty and I knew everything was great when most of the pics had miss kitty on their lap. Our cat doesn’t take to many people but she immediately fell in love with them. Pennee sent us our mail and prescription meds on a regular basis , and went out of her way to take care of any issues . They fell in love with the neighbors and community and just made our lives so easy . We experienced the Covid 19 virus outbreak quarantine during this time and Pennee and Bill agreed to stay a month longer at our home . They were extremely flexible with their travel plans so that everyone would be safe. Upon our arrival home, we were greeted with a bouquet of flowers , beautiful hanging basket of flowers for outdoors and a beautiful bottle of wine . And our house had never been cleaner ! Bill and Pennee are a pet owners dream couple !I felt extremely lucky to have found such a great petsitter and new friend . We will be visiting each other in the future .
