We would have Sonia back anytime! Our dogs are older now, and require a higher level of care. Sonia took such good care of them, keeping us updated on everything that went on. She was kind, attentive, and tidy. Five stars top to bottom.

Betsy enjoys being outside and Chewy got lots of walks. Chewy fell in love with her. Betsy did a great job with houseplants and outdoor plants. Betsy is an interesting person and we had nice talks. I feel that not only did she have Chewy's best interests at heart, but we made a new friend.

I can’t say enough great things about Carolyn and Mark as hosts for our home and puppy Cashy. They took incredible care of our beloved puppy, wrote us great daily updates and left our house in immaculate condition when they departed. I highly recommend them at Zeewoi.

Miranda came as a house sitter and left as a friend! It was such a delight to have her in our home for a while. She was great at all the usual things associated with a house sitter, but she went above and beyond when one of our goats unexpectedly fell ill while we were away. We learned that she is passionate about all living things. She approached the sit with enthusiasm and curiosity. We jokingly told her that she had a crash course in goats! She learned in a couple of months what we have slowly learned over the past 10 years! Of course Ruby the donkey became fast friends with her and Ruby is a pretty good judge of character.. Wishing Miranda all the best in her future endeavors and we hope to see her again one of these days

We were so fortunate to have Lisa spend a month with our 14yo Cooper. Cooper followed her from the beginning for her attention, love and companionship - they bonded instantly. Lisa is well organized, thoughtful and kind and took excellent care of our home. She communicated minor problems with us (such as running out of Cooper's thyroid medication) and dealt with them efficiently and responsibly. We couldn't have hoped for a more wonderful house/pet sitter than Lisa and we also hope she will return and stay with Cooper another time.

Sabrena was a wish come true! You will never better than to leave your home and beloved pets with someone with her: character to follow directions and do the right thing, medical background to keep your pets healthy, shining personality to keep your pets having fun, and drive and perseverance to advance with her studies in her career. Sabrena is a gem of a human. She stayed 4 1/2 weeks and kept us up to date on any issues with our home and pets. We did have some scheduled workers come through and she always accommodated them. She was even flexible when we wanted to extend our stay which ended up a huge blessing for us. She enjoyed our backyard daily, lived like a local, passed her exams (GO Sabrena!!) and we became friends. Just what the heart of zeewoi is all about. Get her for your next sit!

It was a pleasure to have Elena caring for my Bailey and home. She was very attentive to everything that was happening and kept me informed. Bailey was on a medication schedule for an ear infection, and she made sure that she applied the medication as instructed in the prescription. Elena was very flexible with her schedule on my return trip. Due to the severe weather in the Dallas area, my flight was canceled and she was very accommodating and understanding. Elena left my house just as I expected. Everything clean and organized. Thank you Elena for everything and you are welcome back anytime!

I feel that Julia is simply the best person and pet sitter I could ask for.  They really cared for our cat and gave him lots of attention.  She is flexible, upbeat, reliable, considerate and great at communicating.  I highly recommend Julia and Chris.

Ally was great! 
We got to meet for a few minutes before I headed out and I felt super reassured that both Goose and my home were in good hands. 
My cat is picky when it comes to strangers, but he was comfy in Ally’s lap right away the first night! 
She communicated well and sent cute pictures while I was away. My home was clean and Goose was happy when o got back. 
I highly recommend Ally as a sitter and she’s welcomed back anytime!

Young was the perfect house sitter for us. From the moment you meet her, you can tell she is animal person and is detailed oriented and will take great care of your house and pets. She exudes a peaceful and grounded energy.  She was comfortable with each our pets from the high energy dog to the shy skittish cat. She played with the dog in the yard every day and took him on walks. And she was also very attentive to our cats and figured out how to maintain the equilibrium in the relationship between the cats and dog. She is an excellent communicator; she asked questions when our directions weren't clear and kept us updated on the pets. She is also an amazing photographer. She sent us pics of our pets every day that totally captured each of their personalities.

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!

Susan and Miranda are amazing! I've had the pleasure of working with many sitters and they are truly exceptional. 

They were great at keeping in touch, sent lots of updates, asked good questions, really bonded with the cats, clearly very experienced working with animals and understanding their needs, and generally lovely to deal with.  They were really patient putting up with a whole bunch of deliveries and even assembled a spare bed! They also left the place spotless with clean sheets on the bed.

I'm pretty sure the cats loved Susan and Miranda more than us by the end of their stay! I'd highly recommend them to anyone and would love to have them stay again any time.

Sabre is a sweet, honest person who stepped up at the very last moment (after the prior sitter flaked out) to watch our dog and cat for 17 days. When there were a couple minor accidents, she informed us of them right away. One involved a burnt pan (easy to do if you’re not familiar with an induction stovetop) which she offered to replace. 
   Sabre also washed the towels and sheets, and made up the bed before we got home. The yard was pooper scooped and litter box was clean. Pets seemed well-cared for.
   When she had to leave town for several hours one day, she made sure to arrange for our neighbor take care of the pets.
   Additionally, I appreciated how she didn’t assume that it would be ok to bring her cat. When we found out she was going to keep her cat in a kennel during her stay here, we told her she could bring him which worked out fine. 
   Overall, I would confidently recommend Sabre to watch your pets and house.

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.

Amazing sitters - I feel so fortunate to have had them stay. Chapeau was treated to daily walks and belly rubs, and my cat Tica was overflowing with contentment from having been taken care of so well. The house was cleaner than I left it and I was treated to a nice note and a lovely candle upon my return. Also, they left a checklist of item that they had done while here. Truly above and beyond!

Tracy was an ideal pet sitter when we left for 12 days. She was communicative, friendly, and most importantly took perfect care of our two cats and our house. I would highly recommend her for any sit!

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!
