Catherine
Orford, Australia
Lover of all things pets, plants, living spaces and nature.
Catherine was very attentive to Gordie. She notified me about Gordie’s not drinking enough water while he was in his crate. Catherine updated me with photos daily. Our house looks exactly the same as we left it. It felt like no one was in the house while we were away. I would highly recommend her. ❤️
Cheryl
Orford, Australia
Scottish couple of cat lovers from Tasmania looking for a home away from home.
Awesome. Cheryl and Gus took the utmost care with both our home and cat, Grayson. We arrive back to a super clean home and a very happy cat. We can't thank you enough. Your communication throughout was excellent. As this was our first experience with zeewoi we were a little apprehensive but Cheryl and Gus had lots of experience and helped us throughout the process.

And everything was on its place, tidy and relaxed when we came back home. we are very gradful that we have chosen and met Lorise and Richard for our housesit. THANK YOU!
Suzan
Orford, Australia
Creative explorer
This was the 2nd time I have had Suzan come and look after Riley. Again she and her partner Mike did an exceptional job of looking after my little Riley and I came home to a happy dog and clean home. Thanks again Suzan. Highly recommend this lovely lady.
Janice
Orford, Australia
Absolute animal lover
Janice and Brian were extremely friendly and our pets were very well looked after while we were away, including our dog who requires daily medication. They left the house immaculate. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. We hope they enjoyed their stay!
Laura
Orford, Australia
Why do dogs make terrible dancers? Because most of them have 2 left feet.
Laura & Paul were lovely & I felt totally confident leaving ‘the kids’ in their care. Good communication during their sit. Prior to sitting they asked everything they needed to know about their individual needs & personality which was very reassuring. Would not hesitate recommending them to perspective travellers. Thanks so much guys. Sorry if the bed was crowded at night 🥰
Jane
Orford, Australia
Two Tasmanians seeking house sitting opportunities
Jane and James were an absolute pleasure to have in my home. They were super friendly, tidy and respectful, I got updates and photos of Rosie running down the beach enjoying the attention they lavished on her. James even chopped my firewood into more manageable pieces for me, came home to a warm home, sheets and towels washed and a very chilled and happy little dog. Highly recommend this wonderful couple, thank you, what a treasure you both are x
Clive
Orford, Australia
Recently retired couple.
To our delight Clive & Cris were wonderful. They looked after our 2 boys extremely well. We came home to very happy fur babies. They followed all the instructions given before we left and gave regular updates on the boys. They looked after the house well and were extremely good to our old next door neighbour. We came home very late at night and there was a home cooked meal and slice waiting for us. We really appreciated as it had been a very long day. Our chickens were happy as they laying proficiently and the fish had had babies. All in all an excellent outcome. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
Vanessa
Orford, Australia
Active, friendly and trustworthy couple who love to travel.
Our cat Calvin is always very happy when animal lovers Vanessa and Ariel come to stay. Their communication with regular messages is always welcome.
Steve
Orford, Australia
Not just a house sitter but a handy man too!
Very grateful to Steve for looking after Ziggy for me after the planned sitter had to cancel one week before the sit. Communication prior to the sit was great, he arrived on time and we took Zig for a quick walk to the local park round the corner, so he could get his bearings and see Ziggy's favourite place for the morning run. Steve settled in quickly with a beer from the bar and then took Zig to the pub for some food. During the sit he always responded quickly to my messages asking how everything was going with Ziggy and also sent me a photo and a short video clip. I would've liked him to take Ziggy to the local park every morning, as i explained that's what he loves the most each day, as he meets up with his best mate since they were puppies, Griffin, and other dogs and walkers, but i think Steve preferred to do his own thing with him, which is fair enough and no harm done. Steve had just left when I got back and Ziggy was in good shape and the house clean and tidy, with bedding and towels washed and hung up to dry. I was concerned the next day to find 6 pouches of Ziggy's wet food still in the freezer and 2 more in the fridge, as it was only an 11 day sit and he almost always eats one pouch a day. Steve said that he had instead fed him a few packs of his alternative food as he didn't seem to want his usual food a few times. Although what was left of his alternative food didn't account for the discrepancy, Steve just said he wolfed down that food and he also gave him his cooked chicken as a treat and some salami. Thanks very much again Steve for all your efforts and especially for getting Ziggy more of his favourite chicken and best wishes.
Reviews from Cat Owners
Amanda
"A relaxing and long time away from home made possible by the best pet & house sitters we could have asked for!" Judy and Steph went the extra mile over their entire one month stay at our home. Both our cats became fast friends thanks to the care and dedication provided for them. We were routinely updated with spectacular photos of our furry girls throughout our leave that helped us be anxiety-free the entire time. Even our older shy cat spent time sleeping on their laps or hanging out on shoulders. As for the house, Judy and Steph left it even cleaner than when they arrived! We had a few tasks to maintain the lawn and potted plants outside, which were completed perfectly. They even tended to our vegetable garden where needed! During a 'risk of severe hail storm' alert, Judy and Steph kept us in the loop and went even further to place potted plants under shelter out of harms way. In summary, we recommend Judy and Steph and would happily have them return again if our schedules cross paths.
KOLBY
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!
Bill & Kathy
We were so pleased to meet John and Trisha! We had them come in a day before we left and enjoyed a nice meal with them and they got to meet Delilah (even if she didn’t seem interested) but she soon warmed up to them - except for the Cat Videos - she wasn’t very interested 🤣 When we returned our home was so clean (probably cleaner than we left it)! We got frequent pics and updates on our Princess! They also left us with a Progress Report with Delilah’s activities and what they did at the house before they left. We would highly recommend John & Trisha if you are lucky enough to have them apply for a House Sitters job! Bill, Kathy & Delilah 🐈⬛❤️
Jessica
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!!
Carol
Raquel was simply terrific! She and her husband, Miguel, had to fill in at the last minute for another sitter who had a death in her family. This meant that the length of the stay and sitting they had originally signed up for doubled. Completely undaunted, they did a GREAT job for us. Our cat and dog got lots of love and affection, and plenty of exercise, food, and rest. Our house and yard were cared for with equal conscientiousness. It was wonderful for us to be able to rely so completely on these super zeewoi. We recommend them 100 percent!

My partner and I left our cat Mango in Lindsey's care for a month so that we could get married. We were going from FL to ME, so it was a long way from home. We were gone for a month. Picking the right houses sitter was important. We are so glad we picked Lindsey (and she picked us). From before Lindsey got on her plan to fly down, until she was back home again Lindsey was communicative, considerate and positive. We felt like we had a family member staying at our place and because of who she is, Mango and our home's well being was a weight off our mind during the wedding. If the need arises in the future we will definitely be giving her the right of first refusal. Thank you so much Lindsey!

Toby and Chloe were one of the best house sitters we have ever had! As a small animal vet I have seen many types of pet sitters and these guys are top notch. Our pets are not easy either. We have special needs dogs, cats on medication, dogs with behavioral issues, horses, chickens, goats and a large (100 lb) Sulcata tortoise who needed close monitoring of the temperature in his barn. Everyone was thriving and happy when we came home. They read through the packet and asked thorough, thoughtful questions. They went above and beyond grooming, mucking and grazing the horses and goats everyday. They chopped greens and fruit daily for our tortoise. If we had known how amazing they were we would have booked a 3 week trip instead! Can't recommend them enough.

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!
gretchen
Tonya was great and filled in after our other sitter had to cancel. She was very self sufficient and navigated acclimating herself to everything since she arrived after we left. She gave thoughtful updates on my cat and I could tell she really enjoyed her, so that means the world to me! She left the place immaculate and we will certainly have Tonya back!
Phyllis and Alan
Cat and Paul were wonderful sitters - our cats were contented and calm when we returned. And the house was spotless. Plus Paul mowed our entire yard including the back meadow - what a surprise! We very much enjoyed visiting with them as well and getting to know them. Highly recommend :)
