Providing Pet Sitting in the Te Waitere, New Zealand
Retired professional couple interested in places and people.
Carol & Ray were amazing, they arrived a day early for the sit and stayed in a local motel so they could meet us & the kittens before we went on holiday, this was so helpful and thoughtful! Carol sent us a really nice email with an account of their time with our kittens, its clear when you meet Carol that she really loves animals, our cats were both very happy and relaxed on our return and our house was very clean and tidy. Highly recommend.

This was my first experience of using zeewoi and I was delighted with the care and attention Kate provided. I had chance to meet with Kate before I left Flori with her. I felt 100% confident going away for 8 days. Flori has never been left in her 7 years. We returned to a chilled out Flori and a neat and tidy house. Thank you Kate I will certainly use zeewoi again and hopefully Kate too.

We will treat your home and pets with love and respect!
Jo and Ben were exellent sitters. They took brilliant care of our house, garden and pets. The house was actually cleaner than we left it. Their communication before, during and after their stay was brilliant. They dealt calmly and senisibly with an unxepected electrical issue to our tumble dryer (which was no fault of theirs). Our cat Ruby was relaxed and in good spirits on our return, and our tortoise Stanley was well fed due to their patience and dligence with her. We would recomend Jo and Ben to anyone looking for good, reliable and caring sitters.

Thank you for taking care of our home and pups while we were away! Sylvia did an amazing job taking care of the pups and left our home super clean and tidy. She met us early before the sit to meet the pups and do a walk through which was awesome. Would recommend!

Looking for pet sitting in Europe!
Emma and Bruce were great sitters for wee Lizzy. She was very happy with them as sitters. They left the house absolutely spotless and took wonderful care of everything. We’d welcome them back any time!

Newly retired couple looking forward to travel and caring for pets
This was the first time we had entrusted our home and our wee dog, Teddy, to House Sitters, and we were very nervous about having strangers into our home, but from the first time we met both Debbie and Steve we knew that our home and Teddy were going to be in very safe and caring hands. Debbie was amazing and kept us posted regularly of how they were going and how Teddy was doing along with some photos, which gave us a huge sense of peace that Teddy was all good and that we could just relax on our holiday and not worry about anything. They looked after our home beautifully too, leaving it lovely and clean and all the sheets and towels washed and on the line. Amazing. What a pleasure to walk into after a big trip away. It was just so appreciated. And Steve even cleaned the BBQ! My husband was over the moon! I cannot recommend this couple enough. We would have them back here in a heartbeat. Thank you so much Debbie and Steve.

A professional couple from New Zealand - excellent house and pet sitters.
Jackie and Michael have been amazing and we would highly recommend them. They are delightful to have them stay, wonderful with both Archie and Trixie (& the fish), clean, tidy and well, simply everything that we’d hoped and more. It was really easy to make arrangements with them and they were very accommodating around our travel timings. The pets all loved them and they looked after them and the house brilliantly - thank you!

New Zealand gal and Canadian guy exploring the world!
Bonnie and Tiberius were amazing house and pet sitters. Communication ahead of time was excellent - they kept in touch on all their travel plans and arrival time etc. We had an in person hand over before leaving which was lovely. It was great the hear about Bonnie and Ti's travels, and their experience with animals (it was clear they were missing their cat back in NZ, and were looking forward to being around pets again). During their stay, Bonnie/Ti kept in touch and provided us updates on our cat, Sherlock, who was very happy and content. Sherlock was on tablets (which he does not enjoy) and Bonnie/ Ti handled his medication needs with ease. We had a medical emergency whilst away and our arrival home was delayed. Bonnie and Ti were so supportive and understanding - they even amended their travel plans and stayed an extra night to look after Sherlock. We are so appreciative of their kindness during this stressful time. On arrival home they had left us with a beautiful card and polaroid of Sherlock which was so thoughtful. We would highly recommend Bonnie and Ti as house sitters, and hope they are able to visit and spend time with Sherlock again in the future.

New Zealand family of animal lovers! Currently in Europe
It was a pleasure to meet Anne's family. They are easy-going people and adapted to several demands due to our specific situation, for example a one-night visit of my brother and wife. During the stay, they sent some news without being invasive. The animals were in shape when we came back. I acknowledge that the house was not fully prepared to be sitted, there were no big problem though, it was a good first experience on zeewoi.
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!
Florence and Robert were outstanding sitters. We asked them to arrive a day early as our guests to learn the routine on our farm. In getting to know them we found them to be good hearted, down to earth people with a love of animals and diligent in learning our routines to care for our poultry, cats and dog as well as our garden and orchard. Not a typical or easy sit. We travelled with ease knowing our critters were being well taken care of. Arriving home, the house was very clean and looked well cared for. The animals were healthy as were the garden and orchard. Out pets missed them when they left – our dog stared down the driveway after them until their car was out of sight. It is nice to find sitters we would like to hang out with and we look forward to having them sit for us again.
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.
Cung is a diligent and communicative cat sitter and house guest, and we'd highly recommend him! We hope to have him back again soon
Amanda is truly our trusted sitter "find"! She comes back regularly, so much so that our kitties think she is their secondary owner! Always reliable, clean, responsible and most of all loves our cats as much as we do! Good communicator, self reliant - all in all a perfect "10"!
Ruoyi was the perfect sitter for our cat Toni! We would highly recommend her to any pet owner, and hope she can sit for us again in the future. Ruoyi was very thorough - she made sure there was full alignment on all the specifics of her pet duties, and she asked thoughtful questions regarding details we forgot to include in our guide. She always provided us timely updates at the agreed cadence, and gave us a ton of photos. From the photos, it's clear she got in a lot of play time with Toni, which we really appreciated! :) We were able to enjoy our entire vacation stress-free knowing Toni was in such good hands. Ruoyi left our apartment completely clean and offered to wash linens.
Kimberly was absolutely wonderful, and we couldn't have had a better sitter for our first experience with zeewoi. Marshmallow loved Kimberly instantly and our cats (who can be a little standoffish) opened up right away with her. She asked great questions that helped us tailor our Welcome Guide to make sure we could be good hosts. Thank you, Kimberly!
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!
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.
