Julia and Andrei were wonderful! They were here with our St. Bernard and our cat for two weeks while we were abroad. The communication with them leading up to their stay was very clear and appreciated. They sent daily updates and photos of our pets enjoying their company. We came back to a spotless house and some goodies in the fridge. It was great being able to go on a family trip with peace of mind, knowing our pets and house were being cared for by such reliable sitters. We will definitely call on them next time we go on a trip.

Liza was super punctual with her communication and was very flexible when it turned out my dates were wrong and needed to be changed. My dog Bo absolutely adored Liza as she is such a good person and passionate about animals. My place was cleaner when I left it and I even had freshly baked cookies to come home to. Thank you Liza for looking after my Bo.

Heather was amazing!! She also left my house exactly the way I left it. Chilli was sad to see her leave. She kept me up to date everyday while I was away. It was such a good experience

Steve & Sue were a lovely well travelled couple with a host of interesting stories. They took to the dogs immediately & we knew there would be no problems with the house sit. We were kept updated with pictures & returned to a clean house & happy dogs. Additionally they had watered the plants & cut the grass & had a meal for us coming home. We would thoroughly recommend Steve & Sue as reliable Zeewoi.

It was such a delight having Nicole and Tim "substitute" for us. They are warm, caring, fun, wonderful people who sent adorable photos and took excellent care of our pets. Buddy and Artemis adored them. They got more loving from our cat than we do! How is this for above and beyond: Nicole and Tim even took care of Sammy, the dog next door who is Buddy's best friend, for a few nights when Sammy's mommy had to fly to Oahu for a few days. They took the dog(s) to dog park every day, enjoyed hanging out with our dog park friends, and even spent time and enjoyed meals with our neighbors!! I am absolutely certain that Buddy and Artemis had a fantastic time with Nicole and Tim. And they took great care of our home and cars as well. Mahalo nui, Nicole and Tim. Aloha nui me ke pumehana.

Helen was a great sitter! She came on short notice and because we got rained out of our camping trip, offered that we could come home early (which we really appreciate!) It was her first time doing subcutaneous injections for our cat Kevin’s insulin, and she was meticulous about making sure she did it right. She called to make sure we got home and offered to come back if we got stuck. Helen was very accommodating, clean and attentive and I would have her again in a second!

What a treat to come home from our trip to happy animals and a lovely clean house. Even though girls were pleased to see us they were more than happy to ignore us after 10 minutes which was great to see. Thankyou both Jaclynn and Jerry, it was lovely meeting you both, and thankyou for looking after our animals and house. We loved the photos everyday of our animals an the exciting trips you took them on . I am sure they are all missing you. I recommend you both 100% plus as house sitters.

Tessa and Daniel took care of our three cats for 10 days while we were on holidays. They were wonderful! It was clear from the daily photos they sent that all 3 cats warmed up to both Tessa and Daniel very quickly as they were either cuddling on their lap or sitting on the sofa or bed beside them. I was somewhat concerned about my elderly cat as she has particular dietary requirements; Tessa managed this extremely well, increasing the number of daily feedings while keeping me updated on her health and weight! Tessa and Daniel were very accommodating when we requested to extend the housesit by three days. We really appreciated their flexibility as this gave us a few extra days of vacation 😊 Tessa and Daniel maintained daily communication with me and left the house, clean and tidy upon their departure. They even left a meal in the fridge for us upon our return. so thoughtful! I have only wonderful things to say of Tessa and Daniel‘s housesit. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for house/pet sitters. I only hope they are available for our next vacation. A huge thank you from all of us, especially the three kitties who are likely missing you already 🤗

If Jessie writes an application to housesit for you, your search is over! She is amazing. This is the second time she comes to take care of our two beloved cats and house and the minute she steps in, I am on vacation. Jessie is warm, present and loving but also attentive to details. Coming back from vacation, the cats are calm and happy and the house looks great. I am grateful beyond words! Thank you Jessie and please come back!

Cynthia was a perfect pet sitter for our little kitty. We knew from her extensive experience with cats that Nala was in good hands. She was extremely responsive via texts when we were away, ensuring us that the 2 of them were having a great time. She went absolutely above and beyond by scrubbing our bath and toilets to remove our mineral deposit rings that we haven't been able to get rid of! She even left the name of the product she used so we can get more in the future. The house was cleaner than when we left. We'll have her back anytime!

There are not enough words in the English language to express my deepest gratitude to Teresa and all the amazing love and care she showed my sweet cat Milo.

From the moment she met Milo, I knew there was going to be a very special bond. 
He instantly relaxed when he first met and already looked so happy and at peace with her. The bond between the two of them only seemed to get stronger and stronger with every day that I was away.

This two-week trip was so important for me as it was the first real "vacation" I had taken in a few years. I was in desperate need of a mental and physical break and knew that in order to have a true "time off', I needed to feel completely at peace with Milo being well-taken care of.

Well my prayers were answered as Teresa was the "cat whisperer" I was hoping for.

I could not have asked for a better, more compassionate, self-reliant, and intuitive sitter ! 

Teresa was also so diligent in sending me her daily picture and video updates of my cat. With every picture and video I saw, I knew that Milo was so happy being with her and I never worried for one minute while I was away. What a gift !

Teresa was also a serious life-saver for me as literally an hour before I was leaving for my trip, I found out my cat's tracker app was not working and after a few emails and phone calls, we found out the tracker's server was down.

Teresa took the initiative to follow up with getting the tracker to work again which was a HUGE stress-relief for me . She is not only wonderfully savvy with animals but also with technology as well ! 

I feel so fortunate to have Teresa in my life now, not only as an amazing sitter for Milo but also as a wonderful friend for life! 

Thank you, Teresa for everything....

Milo and I so appreciate you .....

Kimberly was a wonderful sitter who watched our two cats for us while we were out. She was willing to come a day early to help acclimate herself with the animals, and this was exceedingly helpful in making sure the cats would be comfortable with her during our absence. I would highly recommend Kimberly if you're looking for a responsible, caring sitter.

We literally cannot say enough positive things about Susan and Miranda! They are the best! From start to finish, they did an amazing job communicating with us, giving our 3 (somewhat needy) cats extremely high quality care and tons of attention, and keeping our house clean and plants watered. They took adorable pictures of the cats and sent them to us several times a day, played with them and gave them so much love and affection, and when we got home the house was even cleaner than when we left. We even asked them for some tips on how they were caring for the cats because our cats seemed happier and more relaxed than ever when we returned home to them! This was by far our best cat/house sitter experience to date. We hope Susan and Miranda are available again in the future to sit for us and would invite them back without hesitation.

Amber is as good a sitter as you will find anywhere! She treated our cats with such love and care, as if they were her own. She left our house in perfect tiptop tidy shape, and made sure to wash all the towels and linens before she left. She even cleaned out our coffee maker and took up our weekly trash without us even mentioning it! Amber is super kind and personable and we welcome her back to sit for us anytime! If you are looking for a sitter, you should definitely accept her application!

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.

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!

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!

If you are looking for someone to take care of your fur babies and your house while you're away, Daniel is your guy!  I had discovered zeewoi just a couple of weeks before I was to leave on vacation and I was not only apprehensive if the website was too good to be true, but also under a real time crunch.  I reached out to over 100 local sitters and several possibilities fell through.  I was confident I would find the right sitter and when Daniel applied for the sit and I started to text and converse with him, I knew I had found the perfect sitter for my two cats!

Daniel was upbeat and positive, articulate and personable, warm and caring, and he asked all the right questions about Lilly and Eli (I hadn't had the time to complete my Welcome Guide, yet!?!).  I shared that I had an easy cat and problem cat -- Lilly,  who is sweet, social and eats dry food, and Eli who is skittish, was periodically pooping outside the kitty litter box and was eating prescription canned food twice a day mixed with a probiotic and stool firmer.  I asked if he thought he was up for the job and he happily said he was.

Since he flew all the was from Chicago, I thought the least my husband and I could do was pick him up at the airport.  When he arrived, he pulled out his notebook.  He patiently walked with me as I reviewed kitty care, showed him around the house, and where he would be sleeping.  He immediately picked up Lilly who was excited about meeting her new friend and Eli bugged out and down the stairs to the basement (his favorite hiding place!).  We got Daniel connected to the internet, set him up at our dining room table and headed off to airport, leaving our house and kitties in the best of hands.

Daniel wanted to make sure I felt comfortable and assured while we were away.  He made sure to text with me every other day (he had asked my preference earlier), sent photos of Lilly being her cute self while Eli hid during the day although he gave me assurances that he was eating his food and using the litter box (there were a few accidents, but Daniel never complained about these additional duties).    When we returned from our vacation, the house was also spotless and well cared for and Daniel had even washed the sheets for me!

It is with utter happiness and complete confidence that I recommend Daniel as a fantastic Sitter.  He is trustworthy, responsible, caring, and competent, and you can rest assured that both your house and sweet pets will be watched over and treated with TLC -- and will truly be in the best of hands while you are away!

Lindsey watched our cat and dog for a long weekend when we went out of town. She was a very communicative sitter sending frequent pictures and voice notes with updates. She did a great job of following their schedules and giving them attention. The animals seemed to be happy and relaxed when we returned home and I believe Lindsey enjoyed getting to discover all of the eateries our town has to offer. A win-win for everyone!
