Retired and Free to Travel
Betsy & Bill were ideal sitters - confident, friendly & interesting. They looked after our dogs very well, keeping to their routine whilst also keeping us informed together with photos. The house & gardens were similarly kept in immaculate order. We would have no hesitation in having them back & recommending them to others.

Retired dog trainer, pet sitter, and dog foster parents seeking adventures.
Dennis and Brenda arrived the evening before I left, giving us time to get acquainted and familiarize them with the house and my dog, Piper. This was my first experience with zeewoi and they put me at ease asking great questions. They kept in touch by text with questions and reports on walks with Piper and daily updates. When I returned, the house was clean and well cared for. I will check their availability again next summer when they are in the area. Excellent experience and I would recommend Brenda and Dennis to care for your home and dogs.

Wendalyn & Roger were perfect. Our 2 schnauzers loved the care & attention they provided. They sent pictures of R & R and that was great too, All went smooth & hope we can do it again sometime.

Loving and adventurous pet sitter
Gina surpassed our expectations and I can't recommend her highly enough. She cared for our house and dog for a month. When he had a torn paw, she researched how to treat it and applied the proper medicines and a cone, soaked the paw etc. and our dog recovered, which saved us literally hundreds of dollars in vets fees. Gina communicated very well with us while we were away. We trusted her and our dog really liked her. Gina also took great care of our house and large garden.

Two caring, loving teachers to take care of your babies while you are away!
Jason and Amanda have taken care of my pets before. I was so happy that they were able to come back and I would have them back any and every time! They love on my pets and they are so respectful and considerate of my house. What more could you possibly ask for?

Retired couple ready for our next adventure in house sitting.
Mary and Bill were great. We got on well from the start and the animals adored them. They happily and conscientiously took on board all their responsibilities and exceeded them, even accepting a furniture delivery for us. They kept in touch regularly and we had no concerns that our animals were being looked after perfectly. When we came back the house was immaculate, animals in great condition and we were delighted. We’d love to have Mary and Bill back anytime, even if we’re not going away.

Mature professional woman to care for your home and pets!
Kris was an amazing sitter. She is very accomodating, detail oriented, thorough. A lovely person and very easy to get along with. She updated us regularly with photos. Prior to Kris arriving at out house, our dog got sick and ended up having to be on a different meal plan. Fed 4-6 times a day with specific foods. Very different from his kibble twice a day. Kris had no problem helping us with with his new diet. I would strongly recommend Kris and will hopefully have the delight of seeing her again in the future Thanks for everything!

Jessica and Rick just did a 2 week house sit for us. Jessica was very conscientious in the care of our cat and our home. Communication with Jessica was great, including the re-scheduling of our dates of travel and arrangements. Our house actually looked better when we returned than when we left it. I really appreciate coming home to clean house after an adventurous trip. I also received a good number of fun photos of our pets, which is always reassuring. I would highly recommend Jessica and Rick for future housesitting assignments.

Animal lovers looking to spoil your furry ones while you are away.
Matt and Sue have once again returned to save the day! I have reserved them to sit for my cat three times this summer. I am never sure how my cat will react to sitters. Within the hour of their arrival they sent a reassuring photo of my fussy Izzy being lovingly groomed. Traveling becomes a little less stressful when you are confident your sitter and pet have made a connection.

Cheryl and Doug sat with our cats for about 3 1/2 weeks. We were very pleased with them. Communication was good, the house was clean when we got home, the cats were healthy & happy.
Pares is an experienced and quality sitter and we knew our cat Juniper (and a few plants) was well cared for. We received regular updates and photos which was really nice to have during our travels. While we missed Juniper, we could see that she enjoyed receiving cuddles and attention from Pares. Upon returning home, our flat was clean and tidy, and Juniper was very happy! Thank you for taking care of her!
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!
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
Becca was fantastic - we cannot say enough about how great she is as a pet and house sitter and as a human being! Becca committed to the sit 8 months in advance and was great with her responsiveness in communication during the long lead up to the sit. She arrived early and got the low downs on the animals and house stuff prior to us leaving. She woke up crazy early to help us get to the airport and picked us up when we returned, which made the traveling so much easier on our end. She left the house spot-less (and this is no exaggeration), with the linens cleaned, and a wonderful meal waiting for us upon our return. She is an absolute gem of a person with a great sense of humor and a kind and compassionate nature, and she really enjoys the animals in her care. Our dog and cat were very well cared for and totally at ease upon our return. If you are lucky enough to have Becca sit for you, you will be very pleased at how well she does the job!
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!
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.
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.
Anna was a wonderful sitter for our furry friends. My dog, Luke, bonded with her and was sad when she left. My cats would crawl under the covers and curl up with her at night. She is a true animal magnet and lover. I highly recommend Anna to anyone who wants their pets to recieve first class love while away.
Karen was an extraordinary house and pet sitter who I hope to invite back again soon. You would be extremely fortunate to have her take care of your pets and home. From the very beginning she radiated calmness, knowledge, caring and curiosity. We had a great initial conversation where Karen answered questions I didn't even know I should be asking, and asked excellent questions so she could be prepared and understand the special needs for both my cat and home. She flew into my city the day before I was leaving and stayed at a nearby hostel so that we could meet in person and do a walk through of my home. They say pets have an intuitive nature about people, and I knew Karen would be a winner when my normally very shy/nervous cat came right up and let her pet him. Karen sent wonderful pictures and updates while I was gone and asked questions when she wasn't sure about something. When I returned home everything was spotless and my cat was content. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better house sitter experience. Thank you Karen!
Jose was a wonderful pet/house sitter for us recently. We highly recommend him. He was wonderfully reliable and responsible and took such good care of our two pets. On short notice Jose drove down from Grass Valley to the East Bay for a bit of a quiet get-away while working a really hard job teaching online. We know how hard that is firsthand and partly why we needed our own get-away for a last-minute backpacking trip. We have a recently rescued pit bull and a rescued cat that we're still introducing to each other to make sure the dog doesn't eat the cat (as he seems to want to), and the cat doesn't blind the dog (as she would if he tried to eat her). That might be more background than is needed in a review but Jose made us feel comfortable about everything because of how conscientious and responsible he clearly is. We could tell when we talked to him that he was genuinely kind and eminently trustworthy. We are very grateful and hope Jose was happy with everything too because we know what a value his care was to us. Jose truly deserves any and all house-sitting gigs that strike his interest. Ours was not the easiest and he was amazing. Get him if you can.
