Sally was an amazing guest and she took great care of Boston and Blaze. We feel like we hit the jackpot with her. I wish she could come and stay with the boys every time!

We have had Dawn take care of our pets before, and will have her back again any time she is willing to make the trip to our house. Please see our previous review.

A happy traveler excited to care for your fur-child & home
Christina was absolutely amazing, I could not have been happier with how she took care of my pup and my home. From our very first call, Christina asked all the right questions, was very flexible, and communicated perfectly. She sent me regular updates with the cutest pictures and videos. I could tell she genuinely adored my fur baby and did everything to make sure she was safe and happy. I can’t describe the relief and joy I felt leaving my pup in her care because I trusted Christina to love and care for her just as I would.

Melissa arrived on time, took great care of my dog and cat, and even stayed a bit longer than planned when my own travel plans got messed up (flight in the midwest in August…).

The Purr-fect Pet Sitter
Chelsea was super communicative and very flexible. I felt confident that Mayzie and our house was well taken care of. She did a great job with the outdoor and indoor plants also! Would definitely ask her to sit again!

Sam did a wonderful job watching our home while we were away! He sent updates about our cats each day, asked questions if he couldn't find something, and left the house very tidy when he left. I would highly recommend Sam to anyone looking for a house sitter and he's welcome back to our house any time!

We appreciate the good job Maya and Jono did caring for our many plants, and our dogs seemed to be well cared for. Unfortunately, Maya was sick when she and Jono arrived for the sit, and she reported being sick the entire stay. When our doorbell camera showed a car had been in the driveway all night the first night after we left and the visitor had come with a dog, we asked if they had had an overnight dog visitor. They replied yes, but it was a service dog because the friend had a disability. We explained that our dogs don't get along with other dogs and we do not want another dog staying in the house; they became defensive, and the relationship with Maya and Jono became adversarial from that point on. Maya said that she was offended that we were not sensitive to people with disabilities. She also noted that they had made great sacrifices to do the sit, and we were insufficiently grateful. After several days of arguing via text, we decided that we would have to come home from our trip early. With zeewoi' assistance, we came to a mutually agreeable return date five days earlier than planned. When we returned home, we found that Maya and Jono had left the home unsecured. The door from the garage into the house had been left unlatched, so our dogs came running out as soon as we opened the garage door. The back patio door on the lower level had also been left unlocked. There were dirty dishes in the sink, and two kitchen countertops had sticky food residue. The stovetop and control panel were covered with grease splatters. Our Welcome Guide disclosed that we had security cameras, including an indoor camera in the great room. I pointed out the indoor camera to Jono during the house orientation. (Maya did not participate in the orientation because she was sick when she arrived and went immediately to bed.) It did not seem to be an issue, and I did not know that zeewoi now has a policy that requires indoor security cameras to be disabled during sits. After a few days, Maya reported the camera to zeewoi as if she had discovered a hidden camera! This was the ninth time we used zeewoi and the only time we had a contentious relationship with the housesitters. It was also the only time we felt so uncomfortable with the housesitters that we needed to come home early.
Anna was an excellent sitter - she took great care to understand all of the intricacies of taking care of the house and cats, asked lots of questions, and arrived on time and ready for the sit. During the trip, she checked in with updates, and upon returning home, left the space tidy and clean. The cats were happy and healthy, and seemed to have had a great time during the sit. Thanks Anna!
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.
After seeing the numerous positive reviews, I knew Cung would be an easygoing and professional cat sitter and house guest, and he was :-) Easy communication, prompt updates and clear concern for Boz & Artie's wellbeing, and pictures of cozying up on the couch together all made our time away secure and stress free. Upon returning home, the cats were chill and the apt was left spotless, as though he hadn't even been there.
Elyse was one of the best pet sitters we've ever met! Couldn't recommend her more. We hope she stays at our place again. She sent many pictures of our beloved cats throughout our absence. We returned to our cats seeming relaxed and happy as ever. She also left our apartment sparkling clean. 10/10 :)
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!
Jose was a wonderful pet/house sitter for us recently. We highly recommend him. He was wonderfully reliable and responsible and took such good care of our two pets. On short notice Jose drove down from Grass Valley to the East Bay for a bit of a quiet get-away while working a really hard job teaching online. We know how hard that is firsthand and partly why we needed our own get-away for a last-minute backpacking trip. We have a recently rescued pit bull and a rescued cat that we're still introducing to each other to make sure the dog doesn't eat the cat (as he seems to want to), and the cat doesn't blind the dog (as she would if he tried to eat her). That might be more background than is needed in a review but Jose made us feel comfortable about everything because of how conscientious and responsible he clearly is. We could tell when we talked to him that he was genuinely kind and eminently trustworthy. We are very grateful and hope Jose was happy with everything too because we know what a value his care was to us. Jose truly deserves any and all house-sitting gigs that strike his interest. Ours was not the easiest and he was amazing. Get him if you can.
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!
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.
Cat and Paul sat for me in December and kept a watchful eye on my trusty sidekick Jake. All I can say is my gosh what a great job they did giving Jake a lot of TLC. He obviously missed them since he wandered around our home looking for them after their departure. My home was left in the exact same condition and they did a great job of communicating with me during my trip, letting me know exactly how Jake was getting along. I can't thank them enough for taking great care of my home and showing Jake a great time. I hope that during the coming year they will volunteer to do another sit for me. If you need any other specifics about how awesome a sitter Cat is please feel free to call or email me and I will be more than happy to give you more details. Hope you have an opportunity in the future to use them as house and pet sitters! Regards! Edward
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.
