Reliable & affectionate animal-lover available on short notice
As this was our first experience using Zeewoi, I honestly can't imagine it having gone any better. Sarah and Orlando were great at keeping us informed of anything that they felt we'd probably like to be aware of. With one "old soul" who needed alot of TLC and a "teenage puppy", who wants to be the center of attention, they had their hands full and handled the whole thing like it was no big deal. They followed our instructions completely - eye wiping and drops every day, daily walks with Gus and even the weekly bath for Brinkley. We have never left our pets anywhere and come home to them looking better and happier than our experience with Sarah and Orlando. The house was perfectly clean. It was obvious that the dogs had been loved and well cared for. And let's be honest.....a month is a long time to be in someone else's home. We wouldn't hesitate to invite them back anytime they want to come.

Marco, the Pet Whisperer
As always Marco was a treat. The dog is happy and the house was taken care of. It is so nice to have someone so trustworthy in the house, makes taking a vacation stress free.

Friendly, reliable & warmhearted animal lover
Julie is an angel! She is the absolute best and has the kindest, softest soul and energy. Our cat LOVES her so much that this was her third stay with us and Dolce seems to get so excited when she comes over. We honestly just can't say enough great things about Julie. She's kind, respectful, organized, comunicative—generally just everything you want (and more) out of someone who is watching your pet while you're away! Don't hesitate to have Julie watch your sweet furry family members. If we could have her over every time we travel we would!!!

Your Pet's Perfect Pal: Trustworthy, full of love, fun, and ready for adventure!
Pamela and Pedro were absolutely lovely and Twiglet was so happy with them. Their communication both before and during the sit was fantastic and we really enjoyed the daily photos and videos. The house was immaculate when we returned. I would highly recommend them and Twigs would love them to look her after again!

"We'll Travel for Pets" ...Get It?
Melvin and Tadassi and their son took such good care of my cat Alaska. I feel very lucky to have had them stay in my home. They cared for her as if she were their own pet. They sent regular videos that allowed me to see how well things were going. They were available for any questions regarding Alaska and my home. They left everything clean and most importantly to me a happy cat. Thanks you so much for everything.

It is not the first time Danilo looked after Gucci and we had another great experience with him. The house was looking good and Gucci was happy. It was a pleasure to have him back. We hope to host him again in the future.

Big Love for your home, pets and plants. Resourceful and responsible care.
I met Darlene before I left and really enjoyed her company. Making arrangements was easy and Darlene responded quickly to any messages. She provided excellent care for Budleigh who was very happy when I got back. The house was clean and tidy and the bed sheets had been washed. I'd definitely ask Darlene to look after Budleigh again.
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!
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!
Hilary was a fantastic pet sitter for our cat - you would be so lucky to have her care for your pet and home. She took exceptional care of her and our home. Hilary played so much with her and took the best care. She was communicative, easy to coordinate with, and left everything super clean for us when we came back. Five stars is understating how extraordinary she was - we cannot recommend her enough!!
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!
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.
Lindsey was super communicative, friendly, responsible, and an excellent sitter for our two cats. When we returned, our home was clean and our cats relaxed and happy as if we had never left ! She sent us photos and updates every day, as requested, and when a random mishap occurred in the apartment, she let us know right away and was proactive in handling issue. We felt like both our cats and our home were in very caring, capable and respectful hands. Excellent! Thank you Lindsey!
Wow, what a find Justin is! I feel as though I won a lottery. As I was revelling in the communication we were having during his stay, I looked over his profile and realized either that he had updated it during his stay OR I never even read it. I was so impressed with his initial application that described multiple stays taking care of cats in Turkey that I knew he was going to be a great choice. So I'm not sure that I even read his profile or reviews. Turned out...he was more than I could have EVER hoped for. Justin is VERY organized and clear with his communication. Just as--or maybe more--important, he is a poster child for what zeewoi can be: more than just an economical way to get a pet sitter or a place to stay. Justin embraces the barter economy and the opportunity it presents to get to know people. Although we only met the day that I turned the house and my 2 cats over to his care, we had delightful communication throughout his stay. He wanted to be sure he was providing the right care to all living and non-living elements of my home as well as just chat beyond what we'd had an opportunity to cover when we were face to face on the handoff day. Bottom line: I'd have Justin back even if I wasn't going anywhere! I've met a friend. And my neighbors did as well! Oh yes, and my two cats were well looked after, the house was in ship shape, and Justin was able to brief the next sitter in person (I'd had to extend my time away and Justin already had another commitment). To say I felt confident leaving my pets and home in Justin's care is an understatement. Justin is a real adventurer and believer in the power of both human and animal connection. Without a doubt, I would recommend him as a sitter...and a friend! Thank you, Justin for a great example of how to wrestle so much more meaning out of zeewoi.
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.
Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!
Florence is everything you want in a cat sitter! We have two cats that need a lot of human attention. One takes multiple medications twice a day and they both are used to eating on their own schedule and having people around so it is always very important to us to find a pet sitter that will be spending a lot of time in the apartment and that doesn't mind being very attentive. We were able to meet Florence before our trip and felt 100% confident that she would take great care of our cats. Florence is comfortable giving medication, she sent us photos and updates and left our apartment spotless. We were so happy that we had her come back the following week when we went away again for a short trip! We will definitely contact Florence again whenever we travel and hope that she is available!
