Nature loving lady: a purrfect companion while you are traveling!
This was our second experience with Victoria petsitting for us, and she continues to be an excellent caretaker for our home and our pets! This time she cared for both pets - our cat as well as our dog - and she was a wonderful sitter and loving companion to both animals. We are grateful for Victoria's expert help, and will continue to invite her back to our home in the future. Thank you Victoria!

Couple of traveling animal lovers!
Sabina and Asher are very competent pet sitters! From what I was able to see during the interview, they responded very appropriately to my exuberant malamute, who immediately loved them. I have a challenging sit, and all of my animals (13 chickens, big dog, cat) were happy and healthy when I returned (which does not always happen). They did not communicate much during the stay, so it's hard to know how everything went when I was gone, but they were responsive when I reached out and I was able to enjoy my vacation without worrying much about the animals.

Passionate Pet Lover, to be in the presence of animals is my greatest joy!
Alison is a terrific house and petsitter. She took our dog on walks and sent frequent updates so we could see how happy he was. She is super responsible and a lovely person.

Tania and Sebastian were simply great. Calm and friendly and utterly reliable. This was my first experience with zeewoi and it couldn’t have been better. They were easy going and flexible. Gumbo can be skittish with strangers and we agreed to meet up a day earlier in the park so they’d meet up. I needn’t have worried. He was happy, so was the cat. We returned to a tidy house with happy and calm pets and even some BDs for my kid! I especially appreciated that they gave me great feedback on how things went with Gumbo. I could tell they ‘got him’. I’d do this again in a heartbeat :)

Another great sitter! Abdenour applied to my last minute sitting request, and he delivered. Abdenour was prompt, asked a lot of good questions and didn't hesitate to let me know if he needed anything. The place was spotless when I came home I also appreciated the pet video updates! Thank you Abdenour!

Stephanie is a very caring pet sitter. She is very attuned to animals. She does have rigid boundaries about when she is or is not willing to check text and respond. I would just be clear with her upfront about your needs in the evening or over weekends and see if they work for you. I have had other sitters that were more responsive and that works better for me. I am grateful though that Stephanie helped me to learn to suss this out with other future prospective sitters upfront.
Sofia and Nicole were excellent sitters to our 2 playful cats (an adult tabby and a BIG Maine coon kitten). They gave us a couple updates daily with pictures, as we requested. They were easy to communicate with before and throughout the entire sit. When we came home, our apartment was tidy (probably neater than we left it!) and our cats were relaxed and happy. They were also kind enough to leave us with some sweet bandanas for our boys. We were super pleased with the quality of care, and would happily recommend Sofia and Nicole to anyone in need of a pet or house sitter!
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.
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!
Kristi was an absolutely incredible sitter -- I think our favorite one ever! She was easy to communicate with, kind and personable, and took great care of our pets and our house. It was the first time we had left both our dog and our cat with a TH sitter and Kristi went above and beyond. She was very self-sufficient but provided fun updates and pictures and our pets loved her. Highly recommend!
We literally cannot say enough positive things about Susan and Miranda! They are the best! From start to finish, they did an amazing job communicating with us, giving our 3 (somewhat needy) cats extremely high quality care and tons of attention, and keeping our house clean and plants watered. They took adorable pictures of the cats and sent them to us several times a day, played with them and gave them so much love and affection, and when we got home the house was even cleaner than when we left. We even asked them for some tips on how they were caring for the cats because our cats seemed happier and more relaxed than ever when we returned home to them! This was by far our best cat/house sitter experience to date. We hope Susan and Miranda are available again in the future to sit for us and would invite them back without hesitation.
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!
Kathy and Ron arrived at our home with a most fantastical toy for our cats and a giant apple pie. Need I say more? They are very experienced sitters and brought personal items that they prefer. We knew we were leaving out cats in good hands. A large part of their 'job' was hand watering our garden and Ron took that in stride. Everything is thriving. Our cats are usually distant with new people but we received photos of them keeping Kathy and Ron company in various situations which was reassuring. They clearly won our cats over. Although Ron and Kathy had a ferry to catch on their last day, they took time to wash their linens and hang them on the clothesline. They also left us a gorgeous plant for our garden. We would very much like to have them back for a longer sit if possible.
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.
Kristi was an exceptional house / pet sitter and we appreciate her being so flexible as were not sure how long our vacation was going to be. She was prompt, courteous, and even drove up the weekend before to meet with us. She took great care of our house and our dog snd cats loved her. I would highly recommended her.
