Catherine and Paul were kind and very nice to communicate with throughout their stay. They left my home tidy, and I returned to find my cats happy and relaxed. Thank you both for taking care of my home.

Vicki and Herman were the dream team! Our dogs adored them and followed them up the driveway as they were leaving...we have a big property and loads to do and Vicki and Herman handled it all - the weather wasn't great but they never complained and took every small hiccup in their stride. They even took our dogs to the beach - their happy place! The house was spotless and the property in great shape. They are friendly, kind and extremely efficient. We cannot recommend them more highly.

Tracy and Owen were great sitters and carers for Ruby who was very relaxed and contented on my return. Communication was great throughout, I received some lovely photos and updates most days. They clearly understood the needs and limitations of an older dog and the foibles and character of a daxie. I felt totally happy and confident leaving Ruby in their care, they are such warm and friendly people. My house was extremely clean and tidy on my return and treated with respect. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Tracy and would welcome her back into my house. Enjoy your travels around the UK!

Jess & Matt were fantastic! Communication pre & during the sit was great. We got regular updates and our pets looked incredibly relaxed and comfortable in their care, which was so reassuring. We had an electrical issue on day 2 which wasn’t ideal, but they were so understanding and helpful, and luckily we could resolve it the same day. Roger got a little cut on his paw and they took extra care to make sure it could heal. Really 5* - would love to have them back!

Kay and Peter were exceptional house/pet sitters. They brought their own dog Barney and our dog Beau bonded with Barney from day 1. They loved their romps every day on the beach. We came home to a spotless house and a delicious home cooked meal. Thanks Kay and Peter for taking such good care of Beau. Gaye

Heather and Denis are not only fantastic house sitters, they are delightful people. From the first conversation, we knew we had made a lucky find. The communication up to, during and after their stay was excellent. They couldn’t have pitched it better. We returned to find healthy, relaxed pets that didn’t seem too bothered about arrival; always a great test for the type of care and attention they’d received. They had clearly made a huge effort before we got back; everything was immaculate, inside and out. The house was clean, even the car (unrecognisably so) was spotless. Our only regret is that they live in Australia, so seeing them again as friends will have to wait until either they or we make another big trip!

Sonia and her friend came to Look after my brood of animals for 5 days and they were absolutely lovely. She communicated well with me beforehand and made sure she arrived before I left for my trip so we could meet in person and do a handover. My 3 dogs and old cat were well cared for while I was away and they sent photos and an update every day to ease my mind. When I returned the house was perfectly clean and tidy and they had left a little gift for me. I would recommend Sonia to anyone.

Zeewoi… what does that mean? That means you leave your pets and house in the capable hands of someone you trust .That trust for us was developed from looking at past reviews. We chatted to Eugene and Patience before the sit. Patience was due to go back home for the imminent arrival of a grandchild, so it was agreed that Eugene would come alone. We felt comfortable with the chat and agreed the sit. Eugene arrived the day before (Saturday 2nd March) and we had a meal together. We showed him the workings of the house and the routine for the cats. We left the next morning (Sunday 3rd March) for a well earned holiday after 2 1/2 years working on our house. We had a couple of what’s app messages over the next couple of days about the cats, and I asked had he been able to get out and about a bit in the local area. He said he had been to Bordeaux the day before (Thursday 7th March) as recommended by us. We knew he was gone around 9 hours because our external security cameras picked up and recorded him leaving around 8 and returning around 5 which we picked up the next day (Friday 8th March). What we then realised was that there was someone else in the car with him on his return. Also on that day we saw both Eugene and another man leave the house on bikes. In hindsight it did seem strange to us when he arrived that there were 2 bikes on the back of his car. Also some bedding was on show in the back of his car, and knowing he was returning to friends where he came from he could have left a bike and bedding there. We immediately contacted Eugene who was totally gobsmacked that we had discovered his deceit. My question was what does “definitely/absolutely no visitors to the house” which is stated in our profile and welcome pack did he not understand! Eugene then said he is his brother in law but then said he was a mate 🤨 during the conversation who he had picked up in Bordeaux and he would only be staying a couple of days!!! We asked where he was sleeping, Eugene said in our spare bedroom as he had some spare bedding!!! Again in our details it states there is only one en-suite bedroom available to the sitter. We told him in no uncertain terms to get the person (in whatever capacity he was there for) out of our property immediately, only to be told by Eugene that’s rather extreme! Errr no, what was extreme was that he thought he could get away with it not telling us the truth! We also said he should go as well once we sorted out where the cats could go. He advised us later his ‘visitor’ had gone and would we like him to stay on till we were due to return home, he apologised for the ‘stuff up’. No what he realised was that he had been caught out! The answer was a definite no and our friends would be coming by in the morning to take the cats to the cattery (which cost us a lot of money) and collect his keys. Eugene had clearly planned this visit in spite of clear directions that no visitors were allowed. Instead of having a break a few thousand miles away, we had two days ruined whilst sorting out this mess. Eugene’s deceit and arrogance that he could get away with this was beyond belief. I guess our question is how many other people who have had these sitters have had other people brought in by him without their knowledge. It’s difficult enough handing over your home to a stranger who you have only spoken to once on video, but to have total strangers come in without permission is like being violated. Eugene and Patience are simply not Zeewoi he abused our trust.

Jean & Andrew were incredibly attentive to our dogs & like wise they loved them. Unfortunately due to Jean’s ill health, they left early but also left a very big mess for our family & cleaner to clean prior to house swapping guests arrival. This caused a lot of anxiety & meant our guests couldn’t arrive due to cleaning at the time they had been given. Saying this I’m sure if Jean had been well our home would have been handed over a lot clearer.

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.

I was fortunate to have Hillary return for a second sit. She took excellent care of both my cat and my home. She got on well with my neighbors and even allowed my friend to come visit Suley while she was there. I especially appreciate how flexible and accommodating she was regarding arrangements for a sitter who would be taking over for the second part of my very long absence. All in all, Hillary is a gem!

Kristi was an absolutely incredible sitter -- I think our favorite one ever! She was easy to communicate with, kind and personable, and took great care of our pets and our house. It was the first time we had left both our dog and our cat with a TH sitter and Kristi went above and beyond. She was very self-sufficient but provided fun updates and pictures and our pets loved her. Highly recommend!

Susan and Miranda are amazing! I've had the pleasure of working with many sitters and they are truly exceptional. 

They were great at keeping in touch, sent lots of updates, asked good questions, really bonded with the cats, clearly very experienced working with animals and understanding their needs, and generally lovely to deal with.  They were really patient putting up with a whole bunch of deliveries and even assembled a spare bed! They also left the place spotless with clean sheets on the bed.

I'm pretty sure the cats loved Susan and Miranda more than us by the end of their stay! I'd highly recommend them to anyone and would love to have them stay again any time.

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.

Ann Marie was an excellent house sitter who went above and beyond. She flew in a day early and stayed at a local hotel so we she could meet my cat and get the keys before my early flight the next morning. 

When I returned, she and Tryke were best friends and the house was immaculate. She even washed the sheets and towels, and remade the bed. I strongly recommend Ann Marie for any future sits!

Kristine was wonderful again as our local sitter from just down the street. 
The boys take to her like she is their best friend whenever she comes to sit with them. She sent us photos of them playing, relaxing, drinking water and eating so we knew they were well taken care of. 
The house and the cats were in excellent shape and excellent hands while we were away. It is wonderful that she enjoys the house and the cats so much and tells us so.
Kristine comes with our highest recommendation!
Thank you Kristine!

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.
