Safety and love for your home and pets
Melissa was quite simply BEYOND💙. She took care of several contractors that had to be sent to the house while I was gone. She cleaned all the linens and the house although all I said was to strip her bed, and she kept me updated on how my cat was adjusting. I trust her implicitly after all she’s done for me and will gladly welcome her back anytime without all the contractors!!! She’s awesome!

Travel worry free knowing your home and pets are in trusted, experienced hands.
Beth and Phil are one in a million, as pet sitters and plant caregivers and as guests. We welcome them back to our Evergreen home any time and hope to get to meet them in person one day. They left our home sparkling clean and our dogs were happy, calm and content. People like Beth and Phil are what make Zeewoi so special. We highly recommend them!

Solo Nurse traveling while working online=I stay at home all day.
Lara is a caring and responsible sitter, and overall lovely human. She took our pup Denali on multiple walks a day and really catered to his needs. We received numerous photos and videos without asking, which we absolutely loved. Lara also did an impeccable job taking care of our garden, watering the tomato plants and flowers. We came back to a clean house and a happy pup. We’d welcome Lara back again!!

Natalie was great with our dog and cat! She brought our cat inside every night with ease which made for a stress free vacation for us. Our home was nice and clean when we returned and she was great at communicating. Would highly recommend her!

I am a newly retired animal lover looking for a new adventure!
We came back home after almost 3 weeks of vacation to a spotless house and two happy, healthy dogs. Can't ask for more than that!

KY natives with farm experience and a love for being outside!
We felt comfortable leaving our "kids" with Kajen and Nathan. They kept us updated with photos and reports. The house was nice and tidy when we returned. Would invite them again.

Well-traveled and established professional wanting to travel & explore!
Sheila took great care of my home and pet. She managed home contractors and accepted and sorted delivery packages for us while we were away too. She was very tidy, self sufficient and extremely polite. She snuggled, played toys and took Layla on her favorite slow walk. I highly recommend Sheila!

UK/USA couple looking for adventure and pets to love!
Incredibly grateful to Hayley and Aden for their incredible care of our home and our cat, Louis. We have had the pleasure of their care for past sits, and this time they accepted our last minute invitation to sit (due to another sitter couple who cancelled 48 hours before the sit). Self-sufficiency is a fabulous quality in a sitter, and this couple manages all aspects of daily home and pet care with ease. We are happy to welcome them back any time.

Lex was a wonderful sitter. We had an early flight and Lex was able to come the evening before which gave us the opportunity visit and get settled in and get to know our pups. While we were away, Lex consistently checked in and took great care of our home and pups. I’ve used Zeewoi 25 times to date and would recommend Lex to anyone.

We can’t say enough wonderful things about Josh. He was absolutely the perfect sitter - great communication, excellent pet care, and we returned to a spotless house. The dogs obviously loved him from the moment they met which made us so comfortable having him in our home while we were away. If you get the opportunity to have Josh as your zeewoi you should book him immediately and consider yourself lucky!!
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!
Toby and Chloe were amazing pet sitters. It wasn’t the easiest sit - a nervous dog and 3 cats with various ailments and medication to have, but they took it all in their stride and cared for them so well without any issues. Our nervous dog Zelda warmed to them in just 2 days which is a record for house sitters so far! I also really enjoyed getting to know them over dinner the night before I left, they’re very easygoing and positive people. They also left the house spotless for when I came back. I would love to have them sit for us again. You can rest assured your house and animals are in safe hands with this lovely pair!
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!
Kerry and Megan were wonderful sitters and took great care of our two cats while we were on vacation for two weeks. They were responsive, gave us regular updates, and seemed to really care about Tumba and Cappa. When Tumba was more timid toward the beginning of our trip and not eating her meals fully, Kerry was sure to ask for additional suggestions from us on how to coax her to eat more. Kerry and Megan also left the house just as we'd left it for them. We really appreciated them going the extra mile to ask about additional cleaning products so they could clean our bathrooms. It felt great to come home and just relax without needing to remake the bed. Thanks for everything, Kerry and Megan! We would certainly entrust our home and kitties to you again in the future.
Sabre is a sweet, honest person who stepped up at the very last moment (after the prior sitter flaked out) to watch our dog and cat for 17 days. When there were a couple minor accidents, she informed us of them right away. One involved a burnt pan (easy to do if you’re not familiar with an induction stovetop) which she offered to replace. Sabre also washed the towels and sheets, and made up the bed before we got home. The yard was pooper scooped and litter box was clean. Pets seemed well-cared for. When she had to leave town for several hours one day, she made sure to arrange for our neighbor take care of the pets. Additionally, I appreciated how she didn’t assume that it would be ok to bring her cat. When we found out she was going to keep her cat in a kennel during her stay here, we told her she could bring him which worked out fine. Overall, I would confidently recommend Sabre to watch your pets and house.
Hannah and Joseph were brilliant sitters - totally reliable and trustworthy. Quick to respond to queries and their past experience with dog/ housesitting was very apparent. Our 2 dogs and 1 cat were well looked after and the house was spotless on our return. We are totally happy to recommend them.
We can not exaggerate the care and love Juliet and Laurent gave to our cat, Piero, during his the last few weeks of life. While we left for our trip thinking he merely had a bladder infection, his symptoms turned for the worse a weeks into their sit and later revealed he had cancer. No one would wish their sitter to need to hospice their cat but Juliet and Laurent showed such compassion for Piero and volunteered to be with him when we made the decision to put him down. It was an emotional time for all of us and we will be forever grateful to our two caring cat and house sitters. We have had many fantastic housesitters through zeewoi but Juliet and Laurent top the list. Their professionalism, constant communication and compassion were exceptional. Should you have the opportunity to have them in your home, do not hesitate to book them, you will have no regrets. We do, however, regret that they had such a short time with Piero and had to experience such a painful event.
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!
Cat and Paul were wonderful sitters - our cats were contented and calm when we returned. And the house was spotless. Plus Paul mowed our entire yard including the back meadow - what a surprise! We very much enjoyed visiting with them as well and getting to know them. Highly recommend :)
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.
