Sherri was great! There is no drama here! She connected with each of my three dogs and very quickly had them figured out! To say Sherri is the GOAT is an understatement! Everything was as I had left it and the dog children were content!! Sherri please come back!

Peaceful and responsible Housesitters happy to care for your home and pets!
Nava took care of our dog Buddy from May 28 - June 10. Nava was excellent at communicating before she arrived and during her stay. She was quite capable of taking care of unexpected issues that came up during her stay. Our internet stopped working one day and she was able to contact our internet provider and get the service restored. Buddy seemed to bond with Nava and when I returned he continued to show his affection for her. I returned to a very clean home. Nava is a very interesting person and I enjoyed getting to know her better. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a pet sitter.

We love dogs and cats!
Andrea and her son took such good care of our animals, including our cat who has to take pills twice a day for stress. She communicated well, and was so accommodating to some last minute changes in plans. Our house was clean and tidy when we got home. Really a great experience for our first zeewoi getaway.

Retired military couple want to care for your animals and home
Delinda watched my rabbit, marcus, while I was away. She didn’t have a ton of experience with rabbits but that did not stop her from treating him so well!! sent me daily updates of my rabbit with photos. She even picked some herbs and lettuce from her garden and left them in my fridge to decide if I wanted to give them to Marcus once I returned. I would recommend them to anyone with any kind of animal, they are adaptable and reliable.

This is the second time we have used Ellen and we would definitely welcome her back. House was left cleaner than when she arrived and fur kids were happy when we returned. Ellen communicated regularly before and during sit. We highly recommend her.

New places to see and pets to meet - perfect combo!!
Deborah was a delight to have with us and Paulie missed her after she left. He loved having someone to sit outside with during the day and chill on the couch with at night. :) Everything was tidy as we left it and Deborah was easy to chat with and very personable. I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you!

Alyssa took amazing care of our dogs and our home. We appreciated her communication and great pictures during her stay. She even gave Axel a bath when he get into something he shouldn’t have on a walk. We strongly recommend Alyssa for your next house sit.

Pet veteran looking to help people find good a caretaker.
My first solo male sitter! He was awesome!! Very tidy, loved all my pets and took really good care of them. My dog was just sad when he left. Stood in the drive just staring at his car leaving. He took her on wonderful hikes. All my plants were alive and healthy! Very self sufficient. Interesting and intelligent. He can come back anytime.

Experienced, active, enthusiastic and reliable!
This is the second time we have used Natalie, so that should speak volumes. She keeps us well updated on our kitties by providing us daily notes and pictures. The fur kids love her! She took care of some plants and garden as well. The house was immaculate upon our return. We hope to have her back again!

We're so grateful to Lisa for her extended stay at our house! We felt completely able to relax while we were away, knowing she had it all in hand and would reach out if there was anything she needed to know! House, plants and pets all fantastic on our return. Definitely recommend. Thank you Lisa!!!
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!
Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!
Amanda is truly our trusted sitter "find"! She comes back regularly, so much so that our kitties think she is their secondary owner! Always reliable, clean, responsible and most of all loves our cats as much as we do! Good communicator, self reliant - all in all a perfect "10"!
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! I’d 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 😊. I would definitely recommend Brian.
Elisabeth was an excellent sitter for our cat. We were away for two weeks and received daily photos and notes from her about Catman's activities (i.e., sleeping and eating). She is definitely a cat lover and that was evident from our cat's calm behavior when we returned.
My husband and I are so grateful for Cendy staying with our ~1yr old cat for nearly a full month. We were nervous to leave her for so long but Cendy had Wilma literally eating out of the palm of his hand and snuggling with him in no time. Cendy was incredibly communicative with us and attentive to Wilma consistently for the entire duration of the sit which was such a relief and gave us the piece-of-mind needed to fully enjoy our trip. We returned back to an impeccably clean apartment and a very content kitty. For the first few days back Wilma was definitely looking around for Cendy, missing her buddy. We (and Wilma!) would welcome Cendy back any time, especially for a longer stay knowing how responsible of a sitter he was. Couldn't recommend enough!
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
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!
My husband and I reached out to Toby & Chloe after reading their profile and impressive reviews only a week before our trip, since our scheduled sitter had to cancel at the last moment. They were very friendly and quick to respond to chat from the very beginning, and ended up exceeding our expectations during their two week stay. It was evident they had thoroughly read our Welcome Guide beforehand, as they arrived knowledgeable and prepared to care for our home and pets. They were very willing and happy to take the necessary time with us to walk through the house and meet our cats, as we got them acclimated with our daily routines and answered any questions. Shortly after we left, our city had a heat wave come through, and after immediately notifying us, Toby went beyond the call of duty and inspected our struggling AC unit to pinpoint the issue. As far as cat care is concerned, we have two seniors (who have more sensitive tummies) that can get irritated after a fur ball or swallowing anything out of the ordinary. When this occurred, Toby & Chloe stepped in and took wonderful care of our cat duo; softening their food and even cradling while hand-feeding them for extra comfort. We truly could not have asked for more affectionate and responsible sitters. We returned to a spotlessly clean home, happy cats, and well maintained plants and pool. (They even cleaned our dusty Kitchen pendant lighting, which requires a steady hand and is definitely a time-commitment …We felt like professional housecleaners had been there!) On our way back, Toby & Chloe stayed in communication with us to monitor our arrival time, allowing them to care for our cats until just before we got home. Overall, they are very reliable and trustworthy sitters whose genuine goal is to provide a top-quality sit, while maintaining your household and seamlessly transitioning to your pets daily schedule.
Rick and Sally are marvelous cat sitters and we would gladly have them back anytime. We highly recommend them to any and all pet owners. They arrived when they said they would and were ready to go when we returned, making sure our cats were present before departing. Our home was left spotless, undoubtedly better than we left it for them. We can't urge you enough to engage them if you can!
