If you're looking for the ideal pet sitter with tons of experience, get in touch with Andrew. He's the one we always ask first to sit our two little dogs. He couldn't be more reliable, knowledgeable on a wide range of subjects regarding pets, and anything else about which you might have concerns. Not only does he take excellent care of our pets, but of our home as well. The house is always super clean and tidy when we return. He even keeps the jacuzzi crystal clear, and has fixed little things around that house that needed fixing, like a cabinet door hinge on one of the kitchen cabinets. He's your guy! If he's available, you'll be very lucky to have him.

Sali was wonderful. This was my very first experience with Zeewoi and I am truly impressed. Sali and I zoom chatted a few times prior to her arriving here. She bonded with Maui and Daisy immediately and I fully trusted her with them and my home! Once I returned my home was cleaner than I had left it and all the outdoor plants were happy and lawn watered as well. I can’t wait to have her back in the future. Im looking forward to using this platform for many more opportunities plus I just might just sign up to also pet sit somewhere else in the word. I see this as a win win to get me off my couch and see places I have never been before. At 72 it’s time right? I’m blessed to have learned of this site and very blessed to have Sali as my first sitter.

Kikki and Tavo were the absolute BEST sitters for my two cats Badger and Monty. They are very organised and had lots of questions about food and care. From the moment I met them I knew it was a perfect match. They kept the flat in perfect condition - it was definitely cleaner when I got home than I left it! - and they showered the boys with love and affection and kept me updated with pictures and funny videos. It was clear the cats had a great time. In fact, now I’m home I think the cats want me to go away again so they can have more cuddles with their new friends!! Thank you both so much, best Catsitters ever!! Xxx

Caitlin and Jeffery took great care of our home and pets in Costa Rica. They communicated very well before and during the sit and showed up right on time. A few little maintenance issues popped up while they were staying but they handled everything really well, even buying us a new padlock that had rusted shut for outside. Very nice people that we would definitely welcome back.

Daniel and Tabatha are a very nice couple, friendly and always ready to help when they are not very busy working overseas on their computers. They looked after our 2 ponies (only feeding, bringing to the field and back (no stable cleaning) and Tabatha did that very nicely during the days we were away. They looked as well after our 3 dogs without any problems and they (the dogs) seemed very happy when we came back .Although Daniel and Tabitha took excellent care of our animals while we were away, it's a shame that, despite our request, they forgot to water the heat-sensitive plants in our garden. The same applies to their accommodation (a separate studio with own kitchen, bathroom and terrace). It was perfectly clean when they arrived and I have to admit that it would have been nice to find it as clean, the dishes dried and back in the cupboard and their fridge empty of all their food, drinks and started dishes. An excuse message 1 hour after leaving is nice but a little too easy ;-). Could do better next time.

Frank and Maribel are kind and gentle people. This was our first experience with zeewoi.com and it was a good one. Frank and Mary were reliable and respectful of us and our home. We were able to relax. Our home is unusual. It has no walls and is open to the jungle and I hope their experience went well. We have one old dog who is a breeze and a one year old chihuahua that just got spayed and is a job! I’m very grateful for my experience with Frank and Mary. Highly recommend them to anyone!

We were blessed to meet Karina! She is very kind and warm person and she truly loves pets! She took a very good care about our 2 cats and a doggy. Even our neighbors who had a chance to meet Karina texted us later that our pets are in a good hands. On top to it she left the apartment completely spotless and even bought us a beautiful bouquet which was very sweet. Many many thanks to you Karina! We all are gonna miss you 💛

It was a pleasure to welcome Lorraine to Scotland to sit for my cats, Kevyn and Dorothy. Communication was swift and clear from the very first point of contact and throughout the sit, with Lorraine sending me regular photos of the cats. On my return the flat was spotlessly clean and tidy, the litter tray having been obviously recently cleared and the cats looked happy and well-cared for. I'm more than happy to recommend Lorraine as a house and/or pet sitter - she is a thoughtful, careful and conscientious individual who'd be welcome back to care for my cats any time.

Nella and Andres were great sitters. Lily required some extra care during their trip after a medical treatment she received prior to their arrival and they cared for her wonderfully! They sent regular updates and pictures and administered Lily's medications as needed. We returned to a clean home and a happy kitty. We couldn't have asked for nicer sitters and would happily have them sit for us in the future. Thanks Nella and Andres!

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!

Chris and Julia were our very first sitters and are the most perfect house/pet sitters anyone would ever want!!! Julia sent video/pictures of our fur babies everyday and we noticed early on that our animals were very relaxed and happy!! This made our trip so enjoyable and stress free knowing that our animals were safe and being spoiled and loved the whole time. They even trained our dog to sit while her leash was being attached and was able to pet and hold our cat that is somewhat nervous around strange people he doesn't know. When I got back from the trip, the house was very clean along with Julia/Chris had washed the bed sheets, bath towels, vacuumed, dusted etc., and even washed the pet bedding. They also left some SE Asia treats for us to try which so sweet of them. Definitely the perfect house sitters!!!

Hannah and Joseph housesat our three kitties for a week and a half while we were traveling for the holidays. They were very communicative and conscientious. We received daily updated on our cats with cute and funny pictures. When they noticed our 17yo cat, Amber, wasn’t eating very much, they let us know and we were able to resolve the problem quickly. They were also very resourceful and understanding when we ran out of some cat supplies. Hannah and Joseph took great care of the house. Everything was very clean and tidy when we arrived back, and we had a short time to get to know them on our arrival. We would be fortunate to find more house sitters like them, and would of course love to have them back in the future! We wish Hannah and Joseph luck in their travels!

Amanda is truly our trusted sitter "find"!  She comes back regularly, so much so that our kitties think she is their secondary owner!  Always reliable, clean, responsible and most of all loves our cats as much as we do!  Good communicator, self reliant - all in all a perfect "10"!

Brian is a very professional sitter that does a good job, pays attention to details and is easy to work with. I have a lot of plants. A lot. He suggested me do a video for the plant care so he could be sure of which ones needed what. Brilliant! I’d never thought of that. They were in great shape when I returned. 
I explained that I needed some flexibility with travel dates, he agreed and rolled with the punches like a champ when my dates did indeed change. Unfortunately, he was a bit allergic to my cat but made it work anyway. He was really awesome about everything including a tree that fell next door in a storm and blocked the road for three days. I appreciate that he appreciated how funny and how much personality Boo has. They got along well and I received some great videos. I returned home to a happy cat and a house well taken care of 😊. I would definitely recommend Brian.

Jenny was an absolute delight, lovely to speak to and patient with last minute changes. I have had bad experiences with trusting people with my cats before so was really anxious as Jenny is the first house sitter I have used from zeewoi. But, I felt at ease as soon as I spoke to her, she has a lovely manner and she came round the day before the sit to male sure she had every detail right.

But I think the thing that helped the most was her regular updates about my cats. I could see from the videos she sent they were given lots of love and attention. My cats don't usually play with people but my little girl seemed to love her! 

My flat was immaculate when I got back as well, I am so grateful to Jenny for all her help and really hope to have her sit for me again!

Kathryn was such nice and kind sitter that both of my boyfriend and me were grateful to have, including my cats!!
My cats seemed having great time with her, being around her, chilling on couch with her, or even sitting on her. I got several photos of my cats from her with whort updates. I’m thankful that she let me do facetimes with her when I missed my cats.
The house was clean and tidy when we came back.
I definately will ask her again to sit my cats and house when I need.

Thank you Kathryn!!:)

Florence is everything you want in a cat sitter!  We have two cats that need a lot of human attention.  One takes multiple medications twice a day and they both are used to eating on their own schedule and having people around so it is always very important to us to find a pet sitter that will be spending a lot of time in the apartment and that doesn't mind being very attentive.  We were able to meet Florence before our trip and felt 100% confident that she would take great care of our cats.  Florence is comfortable giving medication, she sent us photos and updates and left our apartment spotless.  We were so happy that we had her come back the following week when we went away again for a short trip!  We will definitely contact Florence again whenever we travel and hope that she is available!

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!
