I recently had the pleasure of having Jule cat and house sit for me in Upwey, and I couldn't have been more pleased with the experience. Jule showed exceptional care and love for my cats, Brooklyn and Soho, making sure they were well-fed, entertained, and most importantly, happy while I was away. Her attention to detail and genuine affection for animals truly sets her apart. I felt completely at ease knowing that Jule was looking after my fur babies and home was better condition than I left it. I highly recommend her services to anyone l looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Five stars all the way! Thanks so much Jule!! xx

Hayley was great! Easy to work with and coordinated schedules with. She was able to pick us up from the airport. Very friendly and took care of our pets very well. Sent us daily pictures too! Kept our place clean and tidy! Would love to have her sit again.

This was my second time with Dan as a sitter, and everything was as perfect as the first time. My cats couldn't care less when I returned because he did such a good job caring for them. Even my very shy, fearful female cat loves him and sleeps with him, whereas she hardly lets strangers pet her. He's a lovely human being and excellent sitter -- very tidy, respectful, communicative, self-sufficient, etc. Anyone's pets would be lucky to have him while their people are away.

Kay is the most dedicated and caring person anyone could wish for. From the word go I knew Kay was the perfect human for Rani. Kay knows animals. Rani and Kay bonded to the point that Rani didn’t know who to go to when i arrived home. Kay also connected with the small lakeside community. Many friends and neighbours met Kay and Rani out and about on walks and in cafes. Kay kept me posted with messages and pics. Kay is warm and easy to talk with making communication easy. I walked into my place as though I hadn’t stepped out… A huge bowl of apples, plants watered, washing done, dog washed.. what more can I say except THANK YOU Auntie Kay 🐾🙏🏼 (Rani won’t forget you!!)

Caroline was a fabulous pet sitter. Communication was very smooth. She asked lots of questions about our pets needs and although they are quite low maintenance I felt that she would have gone the extra mile in their care if needed. We negotiated that she could bring her elderly dog with her for the sit which was a great bonus as our dogs loved the extra doggy company. Thanks Caroline! Kate and Doug

What fantastic housesitters Barry and Anna were. They kept in touch whilst we were away, treated the animals so they didn’t miss us a bit, and left the house sparkling clean and neat. They were communicative and responsive, and helped us enormously filling in for another sitter who had to decline earlier. We would certainly invite them any time to look after our house and animals.

Lesley & Joe are absolutely delightful and were great house sitters. They are very well organised, sent us regular updates on Loki while we were away and left our house spotlessly clean. We would happily have them sit for us again.

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!

It was my first time using zeewoi so I was slightly apprehensive, but as soon as I heard from Kendra I knew both my cat and my apartment would be in safe hands. Kendra was great with communicating and coming back quickly, very friendly and clearly experienced with sitter jobs. Whilst staying at my place she sent me regular updates. Once I returned home the flat was spotless. I would highly recommend Kendra and I would certainly use her again. She’s great!

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.

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!

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!!

Lindsey was super communicative, friendly, responsible, and an excellent sitter for our two cats. When we returned, our home was clean and our cats relaxed and happy as if we had never left !  She sent us photos and updates every day, as requested, and when a random mishap occurred in the apartment, she let us know right away and was proactive in handling issue. We felt like both our cats and our home were in very caring, capable and respectful hands. Excellent! Thank you Lindsey!

Quinn was an amazing sitter for my cat Moon! She regularly checked in with updates on moon while we were away on a two week vacation, and seemed to give her plenty of attention, play with her, etc. Communication was easy and she left our apartment spotless after departing. Highly recommend her as a pet sitter!

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.

Florence was a great sitter for my cat Lily. I booked her a bit last minute, as a previous sitter had to cancel, but was very happy to have her. She was reliable, prompt to respond, and sent picture updates daily at my request. Judging by the pics, Lily warmed up to her nicely and they spent some lounging time together - which is high praise from a cat! Would recommend Florence for your next sit.
