Retired and Free to Travel
Betsy & Bill were ideal sitters - confident, friendly & interesting. They looked after our dogs very well, keeping to their routine whilst also keeping us informed together with photos. The house & gardens were similarly kept in immaculate order. We would have no hesitation in having them back & recommending them to others.

Retired dog trainer, pet sitter, and dog foster parents seeking adventures.
Dennis and Brenda arrived the evening before I left, giving us time to get acquainted and familiarize them with the house and my dog, Piper. This was my first experience with zeewoi and they put me at ease asking great questions. They kept in touch by text with questions and reports on walks with Piper and daily updates. When I returned, the house was clean and well cared for. I will check their availability again next summer when they are in the area. Excellent experience and I would recommend Brenda and Dennis to care for your home and dogs.

Wendalyn & Roger were perfect. Our 2 schnauzers loved the care & attention they provided. They sent pictures of R & R and that was great too, All went smooth & hope we can do it again sometime.

Two caring, loving teachers to take care of your babies while you are away!
Jason and Amanda have taken care of my pets before. I was so happy that they were able to come back and I would have them back any and every time! They love on my pets and they are so respectful and considerate of my house. What more could you possibly ask for?

You will Love Me As Your Next House and Pet Sitter!!
Kevin is easy to communicate with, flexible, reliable, and tidy. We came home to a happy and contented cat, and a clean house. During the sit, Kevin sent us photos and updates about our kitty as we requested. We'd be happy to have him back!

Trustworthy professional traveling minimalist couple
This is the 2nd time I’ve used Desiree & Martin, and it won’t be the last! They are so professional, kind, attentive to our Golden, Ellie, and clean. They communicate regularly and even handled an appliance repair while I was gone. I am able to enjoy my travel time when they are in my home. Thanks, Desiree & Martin!

Adventurers and Animal Lovers and looking forward to the next journey!
I was new to zeewoi, it was my first time leaving my pets and I was nervous. Within minutes of speaking with Gail, on the phone, I was at ease. It was like speaking with an old friend. Gail and Scott were just the couple I was hoping for. Experienced, patient, kind, considerate and reliable. I was so happy that Gail suggested arriving a day early so that we could meet in person and go over the pets needs and routines and anwser any questions related to managing the house. We had dinner together and had an opportunity to get to know a little bit about each other which was great! This made me feel more secure and comfortable, as well as my pets! During my 1 week vacation, we texted every other day or so to check in. The communication was perfect. Everybody was doing well. My pups were adjusting and I was enjoying my vacation without worrying. Gail and Scott could handle all of my 4 ChiChi's easily. Upon returning home, it was not even evident that they were there. Everything was cleaned. They went well above my expectations and washed and changed the bed linens and towels. Also, cleaned the bathrooms and floors. My place looked great! Oh and my dogs were happy to see me :) Gail even left me a nice note. I highly recommend Gail and Scott and I hope every every pet parent has the same wonderful experience with zeewoi.

We had Cassie and Amiel sit while we were away in Michigan for a week. They are super friendly and laid back, were responsive to all messages, diligent with their communication and questions about the house, and sent us photo updates every day. Our cats seemed very loved and content when we came home and our house was spotless. On top of it all, Cassie offered to swing by the morning before our arrival to check on the cats and feed them their wet food, even though I had ended the sit the night before. Our flight was delayed so I really appreciated Cassie offering that. She went above and beyond. Would highly recommend! We've already booked them again for our next sit in a couple weeks.
Chris was an outstanding pet sitter and I would definitely use him again! He is reliable, responsible, and thorough. I was able to FaceTime Chris prior to the sit and he spent a lot of time answering and asking questions. I felt confident after speaking with him. Throughout the weekend, Chris communicated clearly through texting. He let me know when he arrived and left which was helpful. He also sent photos and updates of both my cats. My boy cat has occasional anxiety issues which cause UTI's. Andy had a flare up while I was away and Chris was very attentive to him and let me know how he was doing. Chris did not seem to mind taking extra care of him which I very much appreciate. Chris left my house clean and even washed the sheets and towels he used before leaving!
There are not enough words in the English language to express my deepest gratitude to Teresa and all the amazing love and care she showed my sweet cat Milo. From the moment she met Milo, I knew there was going to be a very special bond. He instantly relaxed when he first met and already looked so happy and at peace with her. The bond between the two of them only seemed to get stronger and stronger with every day that I was away. This two-week trip was so important for me as it was the first real "vacation" I had taken in a few years. I was in desperate need of a mental and physical break and knew that in order to have a true "time off', I needed to feel completely at peace with Milo being well-taken care of. Well my prayers were answered as Teresa was the "cat whisperer" I was hoping for. I could not have asked for a better, more compassionate, self-reliant, and intuitive sitter ! Teresa was also so diligent in sending me her daily picture and video updates of my cat. With every picture and video I saw, I knew that Milo was so happy being with her and I never worried for one minute while I was away. What a gift ! Teresa was also a serious life-saver for me as literally an hour before I was leaving for my trip, I found out my cat's tracker app was not working and after a few emails and phone calls, we found out the tracker's server was down. Teresa took the initiative to follow up with getting the tracker to work again which was a HUGE stress-relief for me . She is not only wonderfully savvy with animals but also with technology as well ! I feel so fortunate to have Teresa in my life now, not only as an amazing sitter for Milo but also as a wonderful friend for life! Thank you, Teresa for everything.... Milo and I so appreciate you .....
Becca was fantastic - we cannot say enough about how great she is as a pet and house sitter and as a human being! Becca committed to the sit 8 months in advance and was great with her responsiveness in communication during the long lead up to the sit. She arrived early and got the low downs on the animals and house stuff prior to us leaving. She woke up crazy early to help us get to the airport and picked us up when we returned, which made the traveling so much easier on our end. She left the house spot-less (and this is no exaggeration), with the linens cleaned, and a wonderful meal waiting for us upon our return. She is an absolute gem of a person with a great sense of humor and a kind and compassionate nature, and she really enjoys the animals in her care. Our dog and cat were very well cared for and totally at ease upon our return. If you are lucky enough to have Becca sit for you, you will be very pleased at how well she does the job!
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.
Kimberly was a wonderful sitter who watched our two cats for us while we were out. She was willing to come a day early to help acclimate herself with the animals, and this was exceedingly helpful in making sure the cats would be comfortable with her during our absence. I would highly recommend Kimberly if you're looking for a responsible, caring sitter.
Marianna was an incredible house sitter and cat sitter. She gave our property and sweet kitty top notch care. She is kind, easy to communicate with, thorough, etc. Would highly recommend her, you will not be disappointed.
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.
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!
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.
Rick and Sally are marvelous cat sitters and we would gladly have them back anytime. We highly recommend them to any and all pet owners. They arrived when they said they would and were ready to go when we returned, making sure our cats were present before departing. Our home was left spotless, undoubtedly better than we left it for them. We can't urge you enough to engage them if you can!
