Responsible & respectful, fun loving couple, who love pets, plants and adventure
Sean & Eva were the unexpected answer to our housesitting search! We are so grateful they agreed to our sit. They were relaxed, organized, asked all the right questions & easy to communicate and plan with. We found them to be friendly with quick responses. We appreciated the updates of our pets (dog & salt-water aquarium) and we know Goose will be counting down the years until he gets to see them again. Our home was impeccably clean upon our return, the lawn was mowed, and flowers tended too, PLUS they left us with a DELICIOUS pot of chili and homemade bread to help us transition back to life in our home! We are so grateful they chose us for a sit as our home and pets (and souls) were well taken care of. Please make sure you respond to Sean and Eva immediately so you can secure them for your sits!!

Energetic, honest and caring (Non Smoker) to look after your home.
Laura looked after Ritchie for 2.5 weeks in our home in Dingle. She’s an absolute gem - caring, thoughtful, professional and very well prepared. She combined working from home with taking Ritchie out on a few adventures around the Dingle Peninsula which he loved, on top of his everyday walks. At all times we felt secure and updated & her regular photos were lovely to have as we miss him when we travel. We had a significant plumbing issue whilst we were away and Laura dealt with it patiently and constructively and never complained. We can’t wait to have her back. ❤️❤️

Couple with experience (one is a vet) ready to love your pet & home.
Catia and James were exceptional sitters! Most importantly, they looked after our pets as if our dog and cat were their own. They took the time to understand exactly what our animals needed and followed through with all our requirements. Our dog Nikka who can tend to be anxious, felt comfortable with them almost right away due to their calm/gentle demeanor. We were kept updated through numerous messages, photos and videos and we know our pets got lots of attention, exercise and love. Our house and pool were well kept. As sitters, Catia and James were friendly, thoughtful, reliable and very helpful. We would highly recommend them to others.

Combining travel and and my love of caring for animalS
Carol was a wonderful house sitter! We were very happy to get to meet with her a few weeks before her sit for us, since she was already in town, and we did a little tour and she got to meet the cats. Despite dealing with some personal family issues while we were away, Carol was an attentive house sitter and she sent us regular updates about the cats. Our house was very clean and tidy when we got home, which made for a lovely homecoming. The cats were clearly happy and had been well taken care of. We'd be happy to host Carol again any time!

Henri was great with Ivy! He was very flexible and cooperative and kept in regular contact during the sit. Would definitely recommend him!

Dog, Cat (and Rabbit!) Whisperer Supreme. Trustworthy. Will go that extra mile!
Liz and Vladi were perfect guests and pet-sitters! They took good care of our Dachshund/Teckel Lola, the house and gardens. Lola is not always the easiest to manage, but Liz was very patient, instantly bonded and looked after Lola with care and attention. All communication was prompt, easy and pleasant. Liz asked well in time if she could bring along Vladi, which that was perfectly fine and worked out well. We all got along really well and had fun in the extra day that we took to explain our routines with Lola and to introduce Liz and Vladi to their surroundings. It was wonderful to get to know each other and we recommend Liz gladly as a five-star pet-sitter!

I love animals and adventures... and I'm going to find some
Linda provided excellent care for our three pets and our home during a recent weekend away. She came to our home a bit early so we had time to explain our pets' needs and acquaint her with our home. Linda is friendly and cheerful--our dog went to her immediately. Linda cared for our home and left it clean and tidy. She stayed until we returned from our trip away, and she even gave us several gifts as she left. I wish Linda was my neighbor!

Hugh and Melissa - Expereinced House Sitters
Hugh and Melissa looked after my two high-energy doggies when I was gone far overseas and I always felt very comfortable and secure knowing the girls were in good hands. They provided me with daily updates, pictures, and my dogs were happy and knackered when I came back home. Would definitely recommend them for any dog sitting needs, including multiple dogs. 😊

Two Responsible and Dependable Friends
There are not enough stars here for Kera and Holly. I cannot express how happy we were with them both. We had been communicating for a while before this sit and so were delighted when they were able to do it for us. We got daily updates with the most beautiful photos of all our pets which was so reassuring. Our dogs got so many lovely adventures I'm sure they didnt want us to come home 😂 Our home was so well looked after. We would recommend Kera and Holly 100% without hesitation & hope we can secure them again in the future.
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!
"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.
There are not enough words in the English language to express my deepest gratitude to Teresa and all the amazing love and care she showed my sweet cat Milo. From the moment she met Milo, I knew there was going to be a very special bond. He instantly relaxed when he first met and already looked so happy and at peace with her. The bond between the two of them only seemed to get stronger and stronger with every day that I was away. This two-week trip was so important for me as it was the first real "vacation" I had taken in a few years. I was in desperate need of a mental and physical break and knew that in order to have a true "time off', I needed to feel completely at peace with Milo being well-taken care of. Well my prayers were answered as Teresa was the "cat whisperer" I was hoping for. I could not have asked for a better, more compassionate, self-reliant, and intuitive sitter ! Teresa was also so diligent in sending me her daily picture and video updates of my cat. With every picture and video I saw, I knew that Milo was so happy being with her and I never worried for one minute while I was away. What a gift ! Teresa was also a serious life-saver for me as literally an hour before I was leaving for my trip, I found out my cat's tracker app was not working and after a few emails and phone calls, we found out the tracker's server was down. Teresa took the initiative to follow up with getting the tracker to work again which was a HUGE stress-relief for me . She is not only wonderfully savvy with animals but also with technology as well ! I feel so fortunate to have Teresa in my life now, not only as an amazing sitter for Milo but also as a wonderful friend for life! Thank you, Teresa for everything.... Milo and I so appreciate you .....
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
Lindsey was super communicative, friendly, responsible, and an excellent sitter for our two cats. When we returned, our home was clean and our cats relaxed and happy as if we had never left ! She sent us photos and updates every day, as requested, and when a random mishap occurred in the apartment, she let us know right away and was proactive in handling issue. We felt like both our cats and our home were in very caring, capable and respectful hands. Excellent! Thank you Lindsey!
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.
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 :)
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!
Hope and Julian were great sitters for our cat. They are easygoing and communicate in a timely manner. Our cat seemed very happy and our home was clean and in great shape upon our return. It was great having Julian and Hope here and we highly recommend them for any sit. Great people!
We couldn't have asked for better sitters than Pares and Mark. Since our initial contact, it was straightforward to communicate with Pares. We were lucky enough to get a chance to meet Pares with our dog Luna, and Luna got along with her immediately. During our time away from home, she kept us informed about how both our dog and cat were doing, and they were both cuddling with her since the first day. We got a lot of pictures and knew that they were safe and happy. The apartment was exactly as we had left it when we came back. Pares and Mark even ran the dishwasher and the washing machine for us. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter, and it made our trip very easy knowing they were taken care of so well. We'd have Pares and Mark back to our home without any hesitation.
