Alexander exceeded expectations. He was patient wih our Bedlington Terrier, Lucy, and she liked him. He did take her outside pretty often and kept us informed that she was eating well and behaving as usual. There were no issues with the house or its condition when we returned home. We would be happy to have Alexander for a future sit.

Came home to happy, healthy kitties and a well kept house. Meeting with Gail was easy and she was very self sufficient while I was away which was great peace of mind as there was chunks of time on my trip I didn’t have phone access.

Thawn, Mae (&Pitchey) were absolutely delightful. When I was leaving for my trip, they helped me collapse my dog stroller & Thawn started my motorcycle (as I was concerned about the battery). Absolutely so kind, helpful- even left me a couple of small gifts!! They were way, way above expectations! I was soooo lucky to have them!!

Teresa was an absolutely wonderful zeewoi. She lovingly cared for our two girls, Belly and Jackie. She also looked after my son’s cat. She did everything we asked her to do and more. She’s responsible and thorough. Teresa’s good heart shines through. She communicated, sending updates etc. and responded quickly while we were away. I highly recommend her and hope to have her back again!!

Brittany was an absolute pleasure to work with, right from the first communication we had bout my trip and Sitter needs. She's very responsive, professional, kind, caring, clearly loves animals (and in my case, both dogs, and farm animals as I run a Farm Animal Sanctuary for rescued animals). Brittany kept me informed throughout my trip with photos and messages which I very much appreciated. And she left my house as clean, if not cleaner, than it was when she arrived at the start of the stay. Finally, I would highly recommend Brittany for Home/Pet/Farm Animal Sitting services, and would welcome an opportunity to work with her again, and often.

It was a pleasure to have Jeanne and Alex pet sit for us while we were away for a week. Jeanne communicated very well before and during the sit and regularly shared pictures of Yuki with us. I think he got all the attention he needed! She also took good care of the house and our plants. We would love to have them pet sit for us again!

Yaritza took excellent care of Rochester and Raven. She informed me when Raven had eaten part of a toy and had tummy trouble. My house looked just the way I left it. Thanks for keeping the pups company and texting me photos and keeping me in the loop!

Sofia and Nicole were excellent sitters to our 2 playful cats (an adult tabby and a BIG Maine coon kitten). They gave us a couple updates daily with pictures, as we requested. They were easy to communicate with before and throughout the entire sit. When we came home, our apartment was tidy (probably neater than we left it!) and our cats were relaxed and happy. They were also kind enough to leave us with some sweet bandanas for our boys. We were super pleased with the quality of care, and would happily recommend Sofia and Nicole to anyone in need of a pet or house sitter!

Toby and Chloe were amazing pet sitters. It wasn’t the easiest sit - a nervous dog and 3 cats with various ailments and medication to have, but they took it all in their stride and cared for them so well without any issues. Our nervous dog Zelda warmed to them in just 2 days which is a record for house sitters so far! 

I also really enjoyed getting to know them over dinner the night before I left, they’re very easygoing and positive people. They also left the house spotless for when I came back. 

I would love to have them sit for us again. You can rest assured your house and animals are in safe hands with this lovely pair!

Anna was an excellent sitter - she took great care to understand all of the intricacies of taking care of the house and cats, asked lots of questions, and arrived on time and ready for the sit. During the trip, she checked in with updates, and upon returning home, left the space tidy and clean. The cats were happy and healthy, and seemed to have had a great time during the sit. Thanks Anna!

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!

Jenny was an absolute delight, lovely to speak to and patient with last minute changes. I have had bad experiences with trusting people with my cats before so was really anxious as Jenny is the first house sitter I have used from zeewoi. But, I felt at ease as soon as I spoke to her, she has a lovely manner and she came round the day before the sit to male sure she had every detail right.

But I think the thing that helped the most was her regular updates about my cats. I could see from the videos she sent they were given lots of love and attention. My cats don't usually play with people but my little girl seemed to love her! 

My flat was immaculate when I got back as well, I am so grateful to Jenny for all her help and really hope to have her sit for me again!

Catherine was a wonderful sitter for our 17 year old cat Zabba. She sent us pictures twice a day and kept us informed about Zabba’s daily activities. We came home to a clean  home and would definitely recommend her as a pet/ house sitter. My only concern was that she doesn’t drive and with an older cat, I just prayed that Zabba didn’t need to go to the vet…. And he didn’t 🥰. We will ask her again for sure.

We can not exaggerate the care and love Juliet and Laurent gave to our cat, Piero, during his the last few weeks of life. While we left for our trip thinking he merely had a bladder infection, his symptoms turned for the worse a weeks into their sit  and later revealed he had cancer. No one would wish their sitter to  need to hospice their cat but Juliet and Laurent showed such compassion for Piero and volunteered to be with him when we made the decision to put him down. It was an emotional time for all of us and we will be forever grateful to our two caring cat and house sitters.

We have had many fantastic housesitters through zeewoi but Juliet and Laurent top the list. Their professionalism, constant communication and compassion were exceptional.  

Should you have the opportunity to have them in your home, do not hesitate to book them, you will have no regrets. 

We do, however, regret that they had such a short time with Piero and had to experience such a painful event.

Chris was a fantastic cat sitter for our elderly and high maintenance kitty.  Chris was the perfect combination of responsible and on top of her medication needs while also being calm and relaxed about her picky eating habits and the need to monitor her food and medication consumption.  He was prompt, easy to get a hold of,  responsible, and overall, a great sitter.  I would definitely recommend him and most certainly hope to have him stay with her again.

Kristine was wonderful again as our local sitter from just down the street. 
The boys take to her like she is their best friend whenever she comes to sit with them. She sent us photos of them playing, relaxing, drinking water and eating so we knew they were well taken care of. 
The house and the cats were in excellent shape and excellent hands while we were away. It is wonderful that she enjoys the house and the cats so much and tells us so.
Kristine comes with our highest recommendation!
Thank you Kristine!

Kristi was an exceptional house / pet sitter and we appreciate her being so flexible as were not sure how long our vacation was going to be.  She was prompt, courteous, and even drove up the weekend before to meet with us.  She took great care of our house and our dog snd cats loved her.  I would highly recommended her.
