We'll care for your pets like you would care for them.
It was lovely to welcome Leslie and Allen back to our home. They came to our house 2 days earlier than scheduled as we had some sad news from the UK. They are a lovely couple and we now count them as very good friends. All of the animals were very well cared for and this year has been more of a challenge caring for Percy and Alice because of the amount of rain we have had which makes the grass much richer. So particular care has to be taken because of laminitis and they handled this perfectly. The cats were totally chilled out and not bothered that we had been away. We returned to a spotlessly clean house, much cleaner than we left it! and the garden had been maintained perfect. We now have 2 large lawns to cut so we are so grateful Allen managed to sort these during very challenging weather! It was fantastic to see Leslie and Allen and we would love them to come and stay at ours again. We were able to go on holiday and not have a single worry about our animals or the house. Thank you so so much Leslie and Allen xx

Lap Pets Cherished by Youthful Mostly Retired Couple
This was Lisa's second stay with Finn and Matteo, and that's always great for the cats. They were happy and healthy when I returned, and I was grateful for photos, Lisa's reports about them, and the time she spent with some supplemental plant watering. I really appreciated how responsive she was to my occasional check-ins, and I'd love to invite her back anytime. Thanks Lisa!

Trustworthy, reliable couple who will care for your home and pets with love.
Kathy & Brett were fabulous! They were great pet and house sitters as well as being great people. They arrived at our home the day before our departure to meet us and our animals and go over the chores. We enjoyed having dinner with them too. They sent text messages and pictures of our pets while we were gone - not too many - just right. We came home to happy animals and a very clean house! They even washed the used sheets and started the dishwasher. We enjoyed getting to know them a bit and we would love for them to housesit again in the future.

2 Traveling sisters !
Josselyne and Grace ended up having a bit more to contend with than planned - poor Lola, who is blind, lost her sibling to cancer a week before our trip and ended up being quite anxious AND, as we learned! an escape artist when left alone. They did a fantastic job keeping me informed, and we worked out alternatives so they didn't feel housebound during their stay. I very much appreciated their communications, and photos, and updates! My house was spotless when I returned - they truly went above and beyond and I highly recommend them as pet and house sitters!

Responsible, reliable retired couple available to care for your home and pets.
This is our second visit with Arden and we loved her so much the first time that I asked if she'd like to stay again. You can't do any better than this lovely, kind, attentive soul. I don't even know how to describe how grateful I am for her. Suffice it to say, you will leave your home and furry kids to her without a single worry about how things will go. The kitties and I hope to see Arden again soon, and we thank her for taking such good care of us and our home.

Experienced caretaker/wellness professional ready to love your pets and home
Amethyst is one on the best pet sitters we have had yet. She is so sweet and left us regular updates. The house was SPOTLESS when we returned. You can tell from her resume that she is a pro and that was obvious to us. Would gladly have her back again. You won't go wrong with choosing her.

Mature, Responsible and Loving those Pets
Elaine was a wonderful warm person who Paddy took to immediately. We had time together before and after the sit and exchanged a lot of knowledge of each other’s country. I came home to a clean and warm home with contented animals and the kettle on. Any pet would be very lucky to have Elaine look after them

Married couple, seasoned housesitters with rural and urban sitting experience.
Matthew and Gina were fabulous pet/house sitters! My pup Chica instantly bonded with Matt, as if they were already buddies (which is a rare thing for her to do so quickly with men) which says a lot about Matt's understanding and connection with animals. Likewise, Chica fell head over heels for Gina and her warm interested way, trotting next to her right away as we toured my home and garden in advance to get acquainted. They asked all the right questions, kept me wonderfully informed of their outdoor adventures while I was gone, and left my home spotless and more than ready for my return. I look forward to having Matt and Gina and Chica united again in the future. I more than highly recommend them as very zeewoi!!

Active & Experienced Animal Lover on the other side of the house sit!
We invited Shama & Sylvain back again to look after the house and pets. That should say enough right there, but I will tell you that these two make an awesome team. We live in snow country and Sylvain is very capable of snow-blowing and handling whatever winter brings. Shama is so helpful and attentive to whatever instructions are left and both are very loving and kind with the animals. It was such a comfort to have them stay here again knowing that our beloved animals are loved and well cared for. They communicate enough but not overly which we appreciate. Both times the house was returned in excellent condition, we can't offer enough praise. If you are looking for a trustworthy, caring and attentive house-sitter, these two are your best bet.

Animal lover
Magnolia is obviously an animal lover and empathetic person. We are lucky to have had her come twice to care for our crew. Clear communication and careful treatment of animals and home - recommend her to anyone.
Kendra was a great cat sitter to Genepi and she truly is a cat whisperer. Genepi usually takes 4 days to make friends with a new person but she came out and made friends with Kendra Day 1! Kendra regularly sent wonderful videos and pics of Genepi purring happily. The apartment was neat when we returned and our garden was blossoming. Would absolutely ask Kendra to sit again and highly recommend her. Thanks Kendra!!
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.
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!
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 are thoroughly pleased with and impressed by Daniel's kind, generous, and careful care of our cat and our house. He is a committed and experienced sitter who completely understands his role and responsibilities and also how to gently win the confidence and affection of a pet. He is an excellent communicator, and he kept us regularly up to date on our cat's well being--sending us texts and photos at least once/week as we requested. Our cat who is a little afraid of new people, grew fond of him, and we have returned to a very calm, contented cat. We highly recommend Daniel, and we ourselves would be thrilled to engage him again when the need arises.
Susan and Miranda are amazing! I've had the pleasure of working with many sitters and they are truly exceptional. They were great at keeping in touch, sent lots of updates, asked good questions, really bonded with the cats, clearly very experienced working with animals and understanding their needs, and generally lovely to deal with. They were really patient putting up with a whole bunch of deliveries and even assembled a spare bed! They also left the place spotless with clean sheets on the bed. I'm pretty sure the cats loved Susan and Miranda more than us by the end of their stay! I'd highly recommend them to anyone and would love to have them stay again any time.
Catherine was wonderful! She took care of my cat and house while I was out of town and left and Jack the Cat very and calm and the house in perfect shape which I so appreciate. I could return home and attend to other things rather than cleaning house. I would recommend her as a sitter to anyone. She was easy to communicate with, provided updates and pics of Jack, willing to jump in and assist me as I left or returned. She has a sweet and warm personality and enjoys what she does with house sitting. Thank you Catherine!
Nathalie and John were great! They were great house sitters to watch our two dogs, 2 geckos, our old cat and bull frog. Their two girls took good care of the animals as well. The house was exactly how we left it. We really appreciated their help!
Catherine was a wonderful sitter for our 17 year old cat Zabba. She sent us pictures twice a day and kept us informed about Zabba’s daily activities. We came home to a clean home and would definitely recommend her as a pet/ house sitter. My only concern was that she doesn’t drive and with an older cat, I just prayed that Zabba didn’t need to go to the vet…. And he didn’t 🥰. We will ask her again for sure.
If you are looking for someone to take care of your fur babies and your house while you're away, Daniel is your guy! I had discovered zeewoi just a couple of weeks before I was to leave on vacation and I was not only apprehensive if the website was too good to be true, but also under a real time crunch. I reached out to over 100 local sitters and several possibilities fell through. I was confident I would find the right sitter and when Daniel applied for the sit and I started to text and converse with him, I knew I had found the perfect sitter for my two cats! Daniel was upbeat and positive, articulate and personable, warm and caring, and he asked all the right questions about Lilly and Eli (I hadn't had the time to complete my Welcome Guide, yet!?!). I shared that I had an easy cat and problem cat -- Lilly, who is sweet, social and eats dry food, and Eli who is skittish, was periodically pooping outside the kitty litter box and was eating prescription canned food twice a day mixed with a probiotic and stool firmer. I asked if he thought he was up for the job and he happily said he was. Since he flew all the was from Chicago, I thought the least my husband and I could do was pick him up at the airport. When he arrived, he pulled out his notebook. He patiently walked with me as I reviewed kitty care, showed him around the house, and where he would be sleeping. He immediately picked up Lilly who was excited about meeting her new friend and Eli bugged out and down the stairs to the basement (his favorite hiding place!). We got Daniel connected to the internet, set him up at our dining room table and headed off to airport, leaving our house and kitties in the best of hands. Daniel wanted to make sure I felt comfortable and assured while we were away. He made sure to text with me every other day (he had asked my preference earlier), sent photos of Lilly being her cute self while Eli hid during the day although he gave me assurances that he was eating his food and using the litter box (there were a few accidents, but Daniel never complained about these additional duties). When we returned from our vacation, the house was also spotless and well cared for and Daniel had even washed the sheets for me! It is with utter happiness and complete confidence that I recommend Daniel as a fantastic Sitter. He is trustworthy, responsible, caring, and competent, and you can rest assured that both your house and sweet pets will be watched over and treated with TLC -- and will truly be in the best of hands while you are away!
