We create a life of love-centered experiences worth living and remembering!
Niyah and Quintin were a treasure! We had the privilege of spending a little time with them prior to leaving for our 3 week trip. They are awesome people with an obvious affection for fur babies. Niyah made it her goal to win the affection of our 15 year old feral kitty, Nixon. Nixon spooks easily and definitely chooses who is allowed to pet her and Niyah won her over within the first two days! Niyah and Quintin kept in touch with us and sent pictures and videos of Nixon throughout our vacation. When we returned from our travels, the house was immaculate and our kitty was happy and healthy! We would be delighted to have Niyah and Quintin sit anytime they are available. Thank you both for taking such good care of our home and our little Nixie cat!!

Billie and Mark were amazing. They shared pics and gave us updates on Oliver. I really felt that they loved our little guy. The house was really clean when we came home. They even left treats for us all. Would have them back any time.

Renate was respectful, tidy and flexible, and took good care of our home and Mazie our cat. She was understanding about me having to shorten the sit due to getting Covid just before we were due to depart, which made our departure a little less organized than usual. Renate is a fine choice for a sit, and I would recommend her to anyone.

Dane was great! We met twice before the actual sit. The house was left in great condition. But more importantly, my dog Banks was a treated great. I am super happy to recommend Dane and hope he's available for future sits!

Honest, hardworking and reliable digital nomad couple
Zahn and Addison stayed with our precious Bella previously in Mexico. We were thrilled they were available to come to our condo in Chicago to stay with her again for three weeks. Pictures and videos were sent to us regularly which we so appreciated. We can easily tell how happy Bella is with them both. They are very independent people who have mastered the art and skill of traveling together, working together and caring for others pets together. We consider them good friends and our door is always open for them, even if it isn't to care for Bella. We have the highest regard for them both and we can't wait to see them again.

Pet-loving, Adventurous Couple
Michael and Anna were outstanding sitters. We enjoyed meeting Michael, Anna joined him after we left, and had complete confidence in him. Indeed, he solved an unexpected household problem and the house was in perfect condition when we returned. Our two indoors cats were happy, healthy and , we sense, missing Anna’s attention. We would eagerly welcome Michael and Anna again and wholeheartedly endorse them as great sitters.

Hisayo Lauber Remote worker looking to house/pet sit.
Hisayo was an excellent pet sitter. My pets really didn't even look up much when I walked in the door! Which means they got plenty of love and attention in mt absence! My home was left very clean and tidy. The bed linens and towels were laundered. What a lovely touch! Thank you! I would invite Hisayo back again anytime.

Tricia and Steve were great housesitters. They took care of my two cats and watched over my house while I was away for two weeks. I was grateful how communicative and collaborative they were when we had to solve some household issues that arose unexpectedly (HVAC/plumbing). They're very nice folks and super responsible!

Larry and Sandy were excellent sitters. They responded to communications quickly before the sit, showed up right on time and asked great questions before we left. They sent photos and updates every day. They went out of their way to make sure our cat, who like to hide, got some attention a couple times a day. We came back to a perfectly cleaned house and washed sheets. We certainly hope they want to come back again.

Experienced professional home and pet owner w references! Great for all sits.
This is the 2nd time Rosemarie sat for us & she did a great job!
Shaina was a great sitter for my cat Lionel. She was great with communicating before the sit and was willing to come meet me in person before the sit. She also kept me updated throughout the sit, with photos and little notes. When I returned home the flat was tidy and Lionel seemed happy!
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
Kathryn was amazing. She helped me figure plans out after another sitter dropped out at the last minute and saved the day! My cat and fish were well taken care of, and she was super communicative when my tank had a problem child moment. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, helpful, and caring sitter!!
Jeanne is a repeat pet sitter for us. She is wonderful and takes great care or our cats and our home. We have peace of mind when we travel knowing our kitties are under her care.
Daniel and Vasylyna were incredible house sitters and we would welcome them back to sit for us again any time they are available! They were fantastic communicators, making sure to work out details far in advance and they sent frequent picture updates of our animals which made us so happy while we were away. When the power went out in the neighborhood while they were here leading to a technology issue with our alarm system, they handled everything well. Upon our return, the house was clean, the garden was thriving and well cared for, and our dog and cat were clearly very loved while we were away - in fact our dog was sooooo sad to see them leave! I had the pleasure of getting to know them a bit before I left, and they are such a kind, adventurous, and great couple. I would highly recommend having Daniel and Vasylyna take care of your house, plants, and animals!
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.
I thoroughly enjoyed working with Kathryn! I needed to extend dates for the sit after we had set it up and she was able to accommodate this so was actually here from 10/4-20. She was timely and communicative throughout - and she is a very nice person. She kept the house really tidy and followed all instructions well. My cats took to her quickly. When I returned, they had been very well cared for and seemed fully content even though I'd never left them for long before. While away, I reached out to Kathryn by text several times regarding deliveries, etc. She was very prompt in responding and adept at handling issues as they arose. I highly recommend Kathryn as a house sitter - and would happily work with her again!
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!
Lindsey watched our cat and dog for a long weekend when we went out of town. She was a very communicative sitter sending frequent pictures and voice notes with updates. She did a great job of following their schedules and giving them attention. The animals seemed to be happy and relaxed when we returned home and I believe Lindsey enjoyed getting to discover all of the eateries our town has to offer. A win-win for everyone!
Chris was a fantastic cat sitter for our elderly and high maintenance kitty. Chris was the perfect combination of responsible and on top of her medication needs while also being calm and relaxed about her picky eating habits and the need to monitor her food and medication consumption. He was prompt, easy to get a hold of, responsible, and overall, a great sitter. I would definitely recommend him and most certainly hope to have him stay with her again.
