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.

Louise and Ian were 11/10 sitters! Communication was superb and their travel plans were carefully coordinated according to my schedule for when Gemma would need care. We came back to a house cleaner than we left it, and I could tell Gemma was happy and pleasantly worn out from her many walks and hikes that she enjoyed with Louise and Ian. I’d love to opportunity to host them again and highly recommend for others. Thank you so much!

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

Jamie did a great job looking after Earl and Hazel! We came home to a clean house and a happy cat and dog. Jamie was very knowledgeable of how to train dogs, and even had some tricks and suggestions for us (such as using a Wonder Walker). Hazel is still better behaved now than she was before we left her. Jamie sent us many updates while we were away on our trip and assured us that the pets were fine.

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.

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.

This was our first time on the app, it left some things to be desired. The cats were fine and the apt was clean when we arrived, she communicated her travel plans well and in advance, but there were several things that left us a bit uneasy. The Welcome guide and oral instructions were not followed on several occasions, leading to a potentially risky situation both for the safety of the apartment as well as that of the pets (leaving the garden door open while no-one’s home in full holiday season; leaving the window open throughout the whole stay, even if it was clearly indicated to close it when no-one is at home). We would have appreciated a more proactive communication about the wellbeing of the pets while we were away (not telling us right away one of the cats was missing for half a day, in the beginning had to insist to get pictures). Also the cat litter box was not properly cleaned, leading to urine buildup inside the box. There were several things moved or changed inside the apartment, that left us confused, the instructions for the dishwasher were not followed, leading to damaging some of the cutlery, the freezer was not properly closed since days. And communication in general could be much improved (the night before the sit Magui just assumed we would host her, even if that was not agreed upon beforehand - we did invite her to stay and join us for dinner too, but it felt like a demand, not a request; upon arrival pointing to the open door she abruptly ended communication with us). We believed this site to be a two way street, but it honestly did feel like providing a hotel for someone.

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!

"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.

I never met Joi because due to her work, she arrived after I left and was gone before I returned home.  This wasn't a problem at all.  She was very self-sufficient and seemed to find all that she needed in my house.  The house looked exactly like I left it and my cat seemed very content when I returned.  Apparently they had a nightly routine of Luna getting brushed.  Joi is a very experienced sitter and it shows.

Kimberly was absolutely wonderful, and we couldn't have had a better sitter for our first experience with zeewoi. Marshmallow loved Kimberly instantly and our cats (who can be a little standoffish) opened up right away with her. She asked great questions that helped us tailor our Welcome Guide to make sure we could be good hosts. Thank you, Kimberly!

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!

Oh wow! Everyone should be so lucky to have Nicholas and Veerle watch their house and pets. These lovely people are pros! They communicated early and often, were super accommodating to some last minute changes (it was originally going to be only our cats to watch but we decided to keep the dog home as well so that added to the schedule and care needs) and they left the house spotless and all set up for another sitter who came in after them. 

We didn’t get the chance to meet because my departure and arrival times but I dearly hope I get to in the future because they were just great! I even heard how nice they were from My neighbors who say them out walking our dog. :-)

They also sent regular pictures of the pets which look like pro-photography! 

Cannot recommend this couple enough! Your pets and house will be in good hands!

Jinnie was an excellent house sitter for me and my cat Felix.  Completely responsible and reliable and helpfully flexible.  She was willing to work with me as I dithered on whether I was actually going to go on my trip (which was dependent on good weather), and when I finally decided on making my trip one day shorter.  House was clean and organized on my return, and, more importantly, my cat was calm and relaxed on my return.  I would happily have Jinnie come sit for me and Felix again.

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!

I whole-heartedly recommend Carly and her partner Fanny to sit for you! They were fabulous and reliable house sitters from start to finish. Carly was timely and thoughtful in all of her communications and let us know the state of affairs in our apartment with our cat and plant babies while we were away. They followed our directions to a 'T.' We came home to find a happy cat, thriving plants, a spotless apartment and laundered linens. We would definitely consider contacting them again to house sit for us!
