Irene
Providing Pet Sitting in the Riehen, Switzerland
Caring Animal Friend
Irene and Stefan were an amazing pet-sitting couple. They were open, friendly and conscientious, and they took the time to understand Jackie's needs. We had a nice dinner together the night before our departure and we could tell they truly loved cats. Irene even brought a toy mouse with catnip as a present for Jackie! Throughout our time away, Irene sent daily updates with photos and videos of Jackie. When we got back, the house was spotless and Jackie was happy and content. Thank you, Irene and Stefan! We would love to have you take care of Jackie again soon.

Hi, I am Samantha ~ traveller, animal lover & love to explore new places
A fantastic cat sitter, cannot recommend Samantha enough! Toulouse was the happiest cat ever and they bonded very well. House was really well taken care of and I returned to the happiest little boy. Thank you so much!
Raphael
Providing Pet Sitting in the Riehen, Switzerland
Reliable, modest, non-smoking Swiss would love to take good care of your pets
Raphael was a fantastic sitter. He was very easy to arrange the sit with, and very organised sending us his arrival and departure times well in advance. He was great company for our cat Nim, and sent us nice photos of her playing with him while we were away. He also kept the house really tidy and even kindly put the laundry on when he left. We’d definitely be happy to ask him to sit again sometime.

Providing Pet Sitting in the Riehen, Switzerland
Caring animal lover who works from home
It was a pleasure to have Eleanor sit for Freddie again. Freddie absolutely adores Eleanor & how she cares for him. I never have any worries when Eleanor is sitting for Freddie as she is always in contact & this time as she knew I would be busy with my friends wedding still sent me updates & told me not to worry about replying. Knowing I had those updates sat there to look at when I wasn’t so busy was so nice 🥰 Eleanor always leaves my apartment spotless for when I arrive home. I think I’ve said it before that I’m sure it’s cleaner than when I leave it!!! As always we highly recommend Eleanor to house / pet sit. She really is a huge animal lover & treats your home as if it were her own. Thank you Eleanor & see you soon Vicki & Freddie 🐾
Lola
Providing Pet Sitting in the Riehen, Switzerland
True animal lover / fur snuggler - german, vegan, reliable, friendly, caring
Lola was simply fantastic. Our doggie, June, fell madly in love with her and has been a bit mopey after her departure so we are hoping she plans to visit us in the near future. :> Our chameleon who is never cozy with anyone except me found a friend in Lola and even came out of his perch to hang out on her arm so for us that was a true sign that Lola is indeed an animal whisperer whose special attributes extend not only to kitties and doggies but also to reptiles! Our house was spotless when we returned and our sheets were all clean and ready to go. All our animals were happy, well fed and as I said earlier completely in love with Lola. If we could give 10 stars in a 5 star review we would give them all to Lola. Pleasant, friendly, on time, reliable, conscientious, warm, caring---just the perfect pet sitter you could ever hope for.
Sybille
Providing Pet Sitting in the Riehen, Switzerland
Friendly & tidy couple with a joy for travel, respect for your home and pets
This was Sybille and Matthias's third or fourth sit for us. It's always a pleasure having them here and we know that Tora is in very good hands. Communication and organization with Sybille has always been seamless and she always checks if there are any changes to Tora's routine, diet or behaviour - she's on top of things :). The apartment is also kept very clean and tidy. Thank you again Sybille and Matthias, we really appreciated it! Until next time :)
Rosaura
Providing Pet Sitting in the Riehen, Switzerland
International fur baby lovers
We have had the privilege of having Rosaura and Omar take care of our house and pets several times. We are always delighted with them as a couple, as house sitters, as pet sitters, and as friends. They coped with unseasonably hot weather and several blackouts, as well as a delay in our return due to the CrowdStrike meltdown and managed it all with a smile and grace. We hope to see them again.
Sandra
Providing Pet Sitting in the Riehen, Switzerland
I am a animal lover, love to meet new people and places. Like the outdoors, h
Sandra was an absolute delight to have. She was very easy to talk to and communicate with, she sent frequent updates, and was patient and understanding with both our dogs. You could tell she had experience with all types of dogs and animals as both of my doggos warmed up to her and grew fond of her rather quickly. I would be happy to have Sandra stay with us again in the future. Thanks so much Sandra.
Eimear
Providing Pet Sitting in the Riehen, Switzerland
Reliable and patient! I promise to love and care for your pet just like you do!!
We had a lot of very useful and practical contact with Eimear and Rory both before and during their stay here. As pet parents who had never left their cats for four years, we were very nervous about how Nexy and Preston would react but they were fine. Lots of messages with photos came our way to reassure us. Now that Eimear and Rory have gone, our young cat, Preston, has been looking for them, I’m sure. So I think we can definitely say that they would be welcome back here again. Thank you Eimear and Rory.
Marie
Providing Pet Sitting in the Riehen, Switzerland
Looking for great pets to share my love and enjoy memorable moments together
During our absence she took great care of our cat and apartment. We received photos of our pet daily which was very nice and found her back in good health upon our return. Thanks for pet- and housesitting, Marie!
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.
Joel
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!!
Mike
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! 
Marc
I feel that Julia is simply the best person and pet sitter I could ask for. They really cared for our cat and gave him lots of attention. She is flexible, upbeat, reliable, considerate and great at communicating. I highly recommend Julia and Chris.
Adrienne
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!
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 🐈⬛❤️
Andrew
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.

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.
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 :)
