Christian and Tamara were great sitters. They were good communicators, took great care of our pets, and left the house very clean! I would not hesitate to have them back.

Krista and Jerry were amazing guests. They were very communicative and sent lots of photos and videos. We came home to a spotless house and a happy puppy. They even gave us some good pointers on training. I hope they will come back again some time .

I am still blown away by how lucky I was to have found Angela and have her stay 2 weeks with my two sweet senior kitties. I have never left them this long before and was concerned how they would do. She was incredible with my old girls, sending me videos, photos and spending time petting them and keeping them calm. This is the first time I have returned from a trip that my little Ethel wasn't stressed out. Angela is a caring person who truely loves animals and a mature adult who understands the anxiety a pet owner has being away. She was a wonderful guest in my house, she left it cleaner than it was after my house keeper came the night before she arrived! I will be lucky to have her stay with my kitties again, and she is first on my list to see if she available when I plan my next trip. Thank you Angela!

This was our second time having Jennifer and Richard here and once again everything was great. Paige was happy upon my return and my home was neat and clean as I left it. So happy to have them back again! Thanks again to Jennifer for the daily updates!

Wendy is one of our favorite sitters. She is thoroughly delightful to work with. She communicates regularly, but not overly so. She genuinely loves kitties and our cats are always so chill after she sits, which tells us she has loved them well. And after a ling day of travel it is wonderful to come home to a clean and tidy home. I would not hesitate to ask her again in the future, and we will most certainly ask again.

Our three cats and home were well taken care of by Shawn. She asked all of the right questions beforehand and followed through with regular photo updates of the kitties in states of play and relaxation. We came back to a tidy home and healthy & happy kitties. Thank you Shawn!!

Kirsten was amazing, from our first interactions with her to the day she left. We were in contact with her several times while we were away and enjoyed all the pictures and updates with the dogs and the house. Kirsten went over and beyond with watering our plants in the front and back yards. We have a drip system but it was extremely hot while she was here and all the plants looked great. The inside of the house looked amazing when we got home. Very clean, bed made and everything fresh and wiped down. That was really nice since we didn’t get home until after 10 pm. Kirsten was great with the dogs and contacted us immediately with any questions and concerns about them. We really appreciate everything she did while staying here. We highly recommend Kirsten and hope to have her stay here again in the future.

Melanie was honestly amazing! She’s so kind and reliable, she gave me regular updates about maple, was very self-sufficient and not only did she keep my place super tidy, she washed my bedsheets before I arrived back from my vacation! I would definitely have her pet sit again

Jennifer has cat sitted for me multiple times over the last two years, She is caring and professional and always takes care of other things for me such as bringing in the mail, watering plants and unexpected problems such as changing a battery in remote or fixing the flushing mechanism in the toilet tank. She is reliable and I appreciate knowing she is with my kitties and caring for them, so I don't feel anxious when I am away.

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.

Pares is an experienced and quality sitter and we knew our cat Juniper (and a few plants) was well cared for. We received regular updates and photos which was really nice to have during our travels. While we missed Juniper, we could see that she enjoyed receiving cuddles and attention from Pares. Upon returning home, our flat was clean and tidy, and Juniper was very happy! Thank you for taking care of her!

We were very lucky to have had Nia for our recent house sit. She communicated well before the sit and arrived as planned. We shared a meal before we left which gave us time to get to know her and tell her about the house and our pets.
After we left it soon became clear the cats loved Nia and the attention she gave them. We were kept informed throughout her stay with regular updates and video clips of what they were up to and how the garden was growing etc.
We highly recommend Nia as a pet/house sitter and we would certainly have her back should the opportunity arise.
Thanks again Nia

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!

My husband and I are so grateful for Cendy staying with our ~1yr old cat for nearly a full month. We were nervous to leave her for so long but Cendy had Wilma literally eating out of the palm of his hand and snuggling with him in no time. Cendy was incredibly communicative with us and attentive to Wilma consistently for the entire duration of the sit which was such a relief and gave us the piece-of-mind needed to fully enjoy our trip. We returned back to an impeccably clean apartment and a very content kitty. For the first few days back Wilma was definitely looking around for Cendy, missing her buddy. We (and Wilma!) would welcome Cendy back any time, especially for a longer stay knowing how responsible of a sitter he was. Couldn't recommend enough!

Denae and Burl were absolutely fabulous house/pet sitters for 4 weeks,  Dec  2022- Jan 23.   They are very friendly and intelligent, caring towards the animals (2 cats and 1 lively dog), and left our home clean and tidy.  It all went very, very smoothly.   It was a pleasure to deal with such nice people.  We have invited them back whenever they want and hope the rest of their exploratory mission is a great success.  I would be pleased to be contacted if anyone needs a further reference.

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!

Jenima is an excellent sitter! She is organized, communicative and flexible throughout the stay. We needed a sitter at the last minute because Jazz got sick, and Jenima saved us. We left a little worried about him, but Jenima took care of him really well and kept us informed. Cats love her! We definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!

Tonya was great and filled in after our other sitter had to cancel. She was very self sufficient and navigated acclimating herself to everything since she arrived after we left. She gave thoughtful updates on my cat and I could tell she really enjoyed her, so that means the world to me! She left the place immaculate and we will certainly have Tonya back!

Steven was a great sitter for our black lab Souris and cat Pinot. They were well looked after and really liked Steven. Our house was in good order when we got back and Steven was kind enough to give us a lift to and from the airport. He was very flexible, arriving day early so we could show him around.
