If I could give more than 5 stars I would Rick and Karen looked after my home and pets as though it was there own. So easy to deal with. Friendly helpful kind knowledgeable people. I went on holiday for the 1st time in years comfortable knowing my dogs my horse and my home were all in great hands. Highly recommend Rick and Karen to house sit.

We can't thank Sarah enough for providing us with peace of mind and such great care of our home and pets. We would you use her again in a heartbeat! Everything went smoothly from the beginning, with great communication and quick responses. We felt our fur family and home were in very capable hands, and this contributed to us being able to relax and enjoy our family vacation. Thank you so much to Sarah and also Melinda for everything.

I was very glad to find Cathy as my cat and housesitter for my recent week away. Very organized, pragmatic and self sufficient, Kathy coordinated her schedule to fit mine and had read all my information in advance, making orientation easy and giving us time to get acquainted (including with Chernish!). Cathy was a good communicator and provided great daily photos/videos of Chernish. She had no problems giving his limited medication and I know she spent quality time with Chernish - including monitored outside time too. It was nice that she had a car and an interest in the area as well as French language skills - which put my mind at ease since I knew she would be able to manage anything that came up. As a plus, her background enabled her to help some of my struggling plants! The house was perfectly clean and exactly as I left it when I got back, and while we couldn't see each other in person - due to flight schedules - she left me detailed information upon my return. Thank you for coming across the pond for this sit (as well as several others in France), Cathy!

Alex contacted us early about travel plans and house questions because she wanted everything to go smoothly for us all, and her communication was great before and during the sit. We were so glad to meet her in person before and after the sit, as she is warm and friendly and we felt totally confident at once that she would be a super sitter. She went above and beyond in preparing the house for our return, even leaving food and wine for us, which was not at all expected and was so kind. Riley enjoyed having her here, and we would welcome her back any time. We totally recommend her as a sitter on all levels.

Heather and Stephen looked after Poppy our much loved dog when we went away to spend Christmas with our family. We enjoyed their company both before we left and after we returned. They took excellent care of our dog and home and sent us regular updates. The car was fully fuelled and the fridge was stocked when we returned. We would happily have them back again.

Ross was amazing in that he was always responsive and giving us weekly updates about our unreasonably shy and reclusive cat. He made our first experience with Zeewoi a very positive one and we would recommend Ross to anyone looking for professional and courteous service while you're away. Thanks Ross!

Pablo, from the outset was a breath of fresh air. He respected and cared for our home and 2 dogs for approximately 3weeks. He kept in touch and when we returned we could tell that the dogs had grown extremely fond of him, our home was clean, and our neighbor loved interacting with him. I would glady have him housesit again.

Seàn was an amazing pet and house sitter! He was super communicative and took amazing care of my dog Nala and cat Bruce. They were happy and loved while I was away- I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for the two little fur babies! He sent great pictures and checked in every day so I had nothing to worry about. On top of all that, he also kept my place immaculately clean and left my place in wonderful shape. We can’t wait to have him back to sit and I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone looking for a sitter!

Kira was the best sitter we have ever had!  I chose Kira because of her reviews, ability to sit during the dates I needed and willingness to communicate with my daughter/neighbor who co-parents Colby with us.
I am always a bit anxious about having someone in my home and trusting them with our fluffy son. Kira put us at ease almost immediately.  I received photos and videos everyday throughout the stay. I got updates on Colby’s activity and the fun they were having together. My heart felt full knowing that Colby was being well loved and cared for.  Additionally, Kira was so kind to keep us posted on any deliveries that arrived at the house. 
Finally, when I arrived home, the house was tidy and clean! 
Again, I am so grateful that Kira was there keeping the house and my cat safe! I hope she will come back and sit again. I know Colby would love to see her again.

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!!

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.

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.

Laura came across the country to sit for us. She arrived a day early and from the moment my pets met her our Lokie was smitten. We have one shy cat Luna and she was out and about on the first night. Laura kept us updated and shared her Adventures as well. We do live in a small hideaway of a town so seeing that she was able to enjoy herself was nice. We returned to a clean home, laundry done also, and very content pets. Lokie was sad for a few days as he missed his friend. We would recommend Laura as a sitter to anyone and would have her back again. 5 plus stars. ⭐

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Kathryn!  I needed to extend dates for the sit after we had set it up and she was able to accommodate this so was actually here from 10/4-20.  She was timely and communicative throughout - and she is a very nice person.   She kept the house really tidy and followed all instructions well.  My cats took to her quickly.  When I returned, they had been very well cared for and seemed fully content even though I'd never left them for long before.  While away, I reached out to Kathryn by text several times regarding deliveries, etc.  She was very prompt in responding and adept at handling issues as they arose.  I highly recommend Kathryn as a house sitter - and would happily work with her again!

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.
