Your pets' best friends, Respectful, Clean, Attentive, Handy and Dependable!
As stated previously in past reviews, Shakura and Martin are wonderful. As usual, we came home to happy cats and a very clean and tidy house. We couldn’t ask for better house sitters!! The peace of mind they give us when house sitting is invaluable. We always know the cats and house are in good hands. We look too to seeing them again soon. Kathy

Plant & Animal love is our game, house sitters extraordinaire is our name.
I don’t have words for Monika’s sit at my home!! So I’ll ramble a bit.. Monika is the most thoughtful human in the universe. She completely vibed with my doggo and took her to a chillax concert in the park and to visit her dad. Of course she checked in first to see that Aris would be ok in the car and at the event, and I got to see pics. It was kind of like seeing pics of your kids at summer camp having the times of their life and NOT missing mom! Heart warming to say the least. Monika and Aris spent hours in the yard soaking in the sun and hanging out- I got videos and pics all along the way which I LOVED. I also received so many pics of the cats…I could see that Simba approved immediately of the new human, and I was so happy to see Zazu warmed up pretty fast too. (Zazu is a weirdo but he knows good people- Monika is good people). I also cannot believe Monika’s attention to my yard and garden. I mean ..I knew she had the interest and experience, and I gave her free reign because I definitely have a jungle to work with…but I was pleasantly surprised a few times with little videos of things she recommended to make certain plants or trees grow better and reports on bits of trimming she did. It was my first year with a veggie garden- so I learned a few things there too. I got a redecorated set of window boxes in my pool shed, a new wreath for the fall, and a bouquet from my garden when I returned home - all stuff from mu jungle yard - who knew my jungle could become so beautiful♥️ Overall, 5 stars is not enough and I would be more than happy to have Monika back. Aris, Zazu and Simba all thank you for a wonderful week Monika!! PS I already gave that baby blue more sun... I want her to grow faster too!

Organized, clean, loving, mature Canadian couple
Tzabia and Barry were excellent pet/ house sitters. They are very experienced at this and it definitely shows. Their communication was great, and kept us abreast on how our Kobi was doing. Tzabia and Barry are avid hikers and explorers so Kobi got plenty of exercise, which he loves, and he obviously got the same attention when he was relaxing at home. The true test of a house sitter is when your pet misses his )or her) sitters when they leave, and Kobi did miss them. Our house was well taken care of, and Tzabia is a gardener, so our gardens looked great when we returned as well. We would definitely recommend Tzabia and Barry as House / Pet Sitters.

Companion Animal Couple
James and Darla arrived the evening before their sit, as we always do this with our sitters. We went out for a meal and had a lovely evening getting to know them both. They are a charming, intelligent and caring couple who could converse with anyone, about anything!!! Their care for our pups was immediately obvious, as they spent time interacting with all 3, to get to know them a little before we left on our trip the next morning. We received pupdates, videos and photos daily, to reassure us, and to give us our required "fix"! The house was spotless on our return and we came home to 3 very zenned out Ds, what a fabulous couple! We have no hesitation in recommending James and Darla, they are gentle, caring, dedicated and more than competent. We very much hope they will visit with us again, whether sitting or as guests, they would be most welcome!!!

Responsible and experienced sitter who LOVES cats (and had all her shots)!
An exceptional sitter. We continue to invite her to sit for us whenever the itch to travel hits us, which is often! One of our cats (Penny) is so fond of her, we found her asleep on the bed Marie uses when she stays.

Mature, active, caring homeowners who love pets and exploring new places.
Lisa and Dan were incredible pet and house sitters! We had great communication from the very beginning, and while away, we got daily updates and sweet pictures of our girls enjoying many adventures. We came home to a very clean house, clean sheets, towels etc, and very happy tired dogs. We would highly recommend Dan and Lisa!

Experienced, clean, responsible animal lovers. We enjoy long walks and coffee.
We were absolutely thrilled to have Caroline and Guiseppe staying in our house. They were absolutely wonderful in every way.

Aussie Nomad Pet Sitter Exploring the World, Four Paws at a Time!
This was our third sit with Beth. She is an excellent sitter. She is fantastic with our cat and leaves our apartment spotless. We knew that even though we were going to be mostly out of touch, that we could completely rely on her. Don't hesitate to have Beth sit for you.

Pet loving nomadic couple
Mikhal and Nitzan were wonderful!! They made our 5 week vacation a breeze, as well as our transition home after being away for such a long period of time. From the start (video call), we could tell that Mikhal and Nitzan had a love of cats and would take great care of Ugi. Not to mention all the amazing 5 star reviews they already had on zeewoi. On the day of our departure they came a few hours early for a tour of the apartment and we had a chance to enjoy their company over lunch. They always asked great questions about Ugi and the apartment. During our vacation, communication was easy and we could tell that Ugi was well taken care of and having a great time from the photos and videos we received. They even brought some of their own toys for Ugi to enjoy. Plus, anything relevant that came up during the trip Mikhal messaged us about so we were in the loop. Upon returning home, Mikhal and Nitzan waited for our flight to land before they left to ensure we returned to the country on time so that Ugi would have continuous care. We arrived to a clean home and a happy cat who was her usual self (it didn't seem like we had ever been away). Would definitely have Mikhal and Nitzan stay at our home again :) I'm certain that Ugi would instantly remember them :)

Semi-retired teacher/writer, experienced sitter w/excellent references, non-smok
First and foremost it is all about our cat and Sherel took wonderful care of our 20 year old calico. We felt so comfortable and reassured knowing she has great experience but mostly a real love of animals and obvious connection with them. If you are going away and want to feel totally confident that your pet is being well cared for then do not hesitate to bring Sherel into your home !
Cung was a wonderful cat sitter and housesitter and we would happily invite him back again. He was excellent with our cats and sent plenty of photos, and also left the house impeccably clean. We had to come back a day early and so we got to spend some time with him which we enjoyed as well. 10 out of 10 recommend! 
Best house and pet sitters we've ever had! They definitely gave our cat and dog plenty of love and attention.
Elisabeth was an excellent sitter for our cat. We were away for two weeks and received daily photos and notes from her about Catman's activities (i.e., sleeping and eating). She is definitely a cat lover and that was evident from our cat's calm behavior when we returned.
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.
Caroline is an amazing sitter ! We were far away, had never left our cat for such a long period of time and we felt really confident with her. She took great care of our cat Honey as well as she did for the house, pool and garden. She was even able to handle the end of the refection of the bathroom which was a last minute surprise… We felt Caroline was reliable and self sufficient. We had a great communication with her during our stay abroad. We even found many nice intentions when we came back from our vacations such as fresh fruits and bakeries for a nice and welcomed breakfast after a night in a plane ! We definitely recommend Caroline for your sittings and we will obviously call her back !
Tracy was an ideal pet sitter when we left for 12 days. She was communicative, friendly, and most importantly took perfect care of our two cats and our house. I would highly recommend her for any sit!
Ann Marie was an excellent house sitter who went above and beyond. She flew in a day early and stayed at a local hotel so we she could meet my cat and get the keys before my early flight the next morning. When I returned, she and Tryke were best friends and the house was immaculate. She even washed the sheets and towels, and remade the bed. I strongly recommend Ann Marie for any future sits!
Kristine was wonderful again as our local sitter from just down the street. The boys take to her like she is their best friend whenever she comes to sit with them. She sent us photos of them playing, relaxing, drinking water and eating so we knew they were well taken care of. The house and the cats were in excellent shape and excellent hands while we were away. It is wonderful that she enjoys the house and the cats so much and tells us so. Kristine comes with our highest recommendation! Thank you Kristine!
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!
Super nice sitters and extremely flexible. Really enjoyed their company and I only regret that I was too frazzled to chat with them more and get to know them! Kept the house super clean, pets loved them. Dog especially. Had a little problem with my new kitten not meshing well with the older cats (which was not too surprising since cats can be territorial). Pennee was very patient and gave me constant updates and tips. And the older cat was much more calm when I came home. Highly recommend and welcome back anytime!
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home for free at Zeewoi.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least $20 per visit, $60 per overnight watching in your home or $40 for a cat boarding, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Zeewoi.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Zeewoi cat sitters for free, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
