Natasha (Bianca's sister) and Martina were AMAZING! This is the first time I have had a dog sitter and I was a little apprehensive. However, Natasha sent almost daily photos and videos of our precious bundle, which we really appreciated. Rigby received LOTS of playing and walks, they have a genuine love of dogs. I know Rigby will miss them. In addition, they were excellent at sorting out house issues. They were very calm and efficient at arranging repairs when our washing machine and electric gate decided to break down! After a review, I would normally say, I wouldn't hesitate to use their services again "... however, I am going to pre-book them for next summer! We were very grateful for their high level of professionalism and kindness. Lovely people. Thank you!

Nicole and Nardus were a fantastic couple! We really enjoyed meeting them and Max was enamoured too. From the moment we met it was as if they were a part of the family and they settled in immediately. We also enjoyed spending time with them and sharing some meals before and after our trip. The house was well taken care of and Max was clearly in great spirits under their care. We hope to see Nicole and Nardus again whether through a housesit or if our paths happen to cross somewhere in the future. Anyone who has them as housesitters will be very lucky indeed! We give them 10 stars!

Sean and Tammi were very nice and were self sufficient. We had a bit of miscommunication which I feel was probably me being unclear and ot specific enough. They had an issue with Molly running off and they remained calm and did everything right. I feel both of us could have communicated better but I feel that it is a learning curve. The most important thing was that our pets were happy and chilled on our return. Thank you Sean and Tammi

Keli and Jed were amazing! They sent us pictures and updates of the dogs, which showed that our dogs were very well looked after and felt right at home with Keli and Jed. We were out of signal most of our trip, but knew that the dogs were in great hands. Upon our return, they had walked the dogs, cleaned the house and left the garden (with zero poos) in amazing condition! They even sweetly left us a meal in the fridge for our night back after a full day of driving. The dogs were also in great condition and very happy when we got back, obviously well loved and taken care of. Would definitely recommend them and would love to have them back in future!

Bentzy looked after our furry family for us from October 17 to November 8th. All were in good shape when we got home, which is what is most important to us when we have a house sitter. He kept us well supplied with pictures and videos. The house was well looked after. Bentzy also tolerated the idiosyncrasies of our Defender with an open mind.

Barbara and Andrew were fantastic house sitters. Communication from the beginning was easy and all plans that were made were adhered to. We spent a very happy evening with them before our trip and we knew that we had left both the animals and house in very good hands. They loved taking Wiggins for walks, exploring the local area, and they were intrigued by Totty the Tortoise. They had never looked after a tortoise before but embraced the challenge! The house was left in an immaculate state, the garden was well tended to and a delicious supper was waiting for us on our return. Not only that, but there were flowers around the house and a clean car in the drive. You would be lucky to have Barbara and Andrew as your house sitters and we highly recommend them. We wouldn't hesitate to use them again in the future.

Diane and Rob did a pretty good job considering the weather was really bad during their stay. They could have communicated a bit better but left everything tidy.

This was our first time using zeewoi and we were a little apprehensive, especially as we were going away for almost 5 weeks, but we really didn’t need to be. 

Mary and Kevin were fantastic from the start. They had excellent communication and put us at ease straight away. They looked after both our cats with lots of care and we came home to two very happy and content kitties.  
Mary and Kevin struck the balance just right whilst we were away by keeping us informed of how the cats were and sending pictures of what the cats were up to every couple of days. It was so lovely to know that the cats were enjoying themselves and being so well looked after whilst we were away. 

Mary and Kevin also looked after our house extremely well and we came back to a very clean and tidy home. 

We would definitely recommend Mary and Kevin to anyone needing a house sitter and would love for them to sit for us again if they were ever back in the area.

Florence and Robert were outstanding sitters.  We asked them to arrive a day early as our guests to learn the routine on our farm.  In getting to know them we found them to be good hearted, down to earth people with a love of animals and diligent in learning our routines to care for our poultry, cats and dog as well as our garden and orchard.  Not a typical or easy sit.  We travelled with ease knowing our critters were being well taken care of.

Arriving home, the house was very clean and looked well cared for.  The animals were healthy as were the garden and orchard.  Out pets missed them when they left – our dog stared down the driveway after them until their car was out of sight.

It is nice to find sitters we would like to hang out with and we look forward to having them sit for us again.

Cung was a wonderful cat sitter and housesitter and we would happily invite him back again. He was excellent with our cats and sent plenty of photos, and also left the house impeccably clean. We had to come back a day early and so we got to spend some time with him which we enjoyed as well. 10 out of 10 recommend!

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.

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!

Caroline was a fabulous sitter and looked after our cat and the house beautifully. She is sensible and very self-sufficient but also kept us informed. We came home to a happy cat and a tidy house. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others and hope she will sit for us again in the future!

I whole-heartedly recommend Carly and her partner Fanny to sit for you! They were fabulous and reliable house sitters from start to finish. Carly was timely and thoughtful in all of her communications and let us know the state of affairs in our apartment with our cat and plant babies while we were away. They followed our directions to a 'T.' We came home to find a happy cat, thriving plants, a spotless apartment and laundered linens. We would definitely consider contacting them again to house sit for us!
