Animal Whisperer
This was the second time Vanissar has looked after our home and elderly cat. If she was available every time we needed a sitter she would always be our first choice!

Mature, reliable, caring retired couple who love animals and travel.
We considered ourselves very lucky to have Kent and Karen care for our cat. They came a day early so that they could see Ollie's routines etc. They took wonderful care of Ollie and we were confident that he was well looked after. We were updated with photos of a happy cat. Kent and Karen were very easy to communicate with, we really enjoyed meeting them and getting to know them. They are quite knowledgeable about cats and their care and temperaments, so we knew that Ollie was in good hands. We came home to a calm, contented cat and a very clean and tidy home. We would be happy to have them back for future sits and highly recommend them!

Kind-hearted woman who will look after your home as if it were my own!
Janine s a lovely, kind and gentle person. Communication with her was excellent. She left the house in perfect order. She washed the linens and remade the guest bed which was appreciated as I had a friend returning with me. Most of all Red the cat was happy and content when I got home. I would have Janine back in a heart beat. She’s completely reliable and trustworthy.

Considerate UK couple on career break
Chris was thoroughly organized and dependable. He communicated with us regularly while we were away, reassuring us that our boys were doing fine. The occasional photos were greatly appreciated. Our old boy had a relatively minor medical issue while we were away, and Chris was efficient in the way that he dealt with it. The house and garden had obviously been well attended to. Most importantly our boys had been well cared for and were happy and healthy on our return.

Inspired explorers and fluffy-friend adorers
Jennie and Peter define 'professional pet/house sitters' to a T, yet raise their status to another stratosphere by being the most kind, respectful, thoughtful, creative and joy-filled people. They clearly communicated with us and settled into our home with ease, caring for our ginger feline so efficiently and affectionately, that upon our return, Simba showed signs of missing them, not us, ha!! The icing on the cake for us was the brilliant 'Cat-thedral' hang-out Jennie designed and made for Simba out of their Hello Fresh boxes. This will be a 'Jennie & Peter' souvenir for Simba for a long time! You will not be sorry choosing this wonderful couple as your pet/house sitters.

Travel Worry Free!
Mila and Gary were very organized and made sure they knew everything they needed for their stay. Our pets were well cared for and Mila made sure to email us daily updates along with photos. Gary even took care of a broken smoke detector located in the 12’ high ceiling of the master bedroom. Everything was clean and tidy when we returned and Mila followed up by checking on us after they left.

Ali and Rick were exceptional house and dog sitters! Super communicative. Super reliable. Great with our dog. Their dog Ruby was also lovely - very easy going and adaptable. Ruby and our dog Rio quickly became best friends! Overall, could not recommend more highly.

Trustworthy and Responsible Pet Sitter (and loads of fun too!)
5 stars...because 6 isn't an option. Everything went smoothly and according to plan. Joan and Lynn showed up on time, a day before our departure. It was great to get to meet them and show them around the house prior to departing. We felt very comfortable with them just minutes after meeting. We knew our home and our pets were in good hands. Joan communicated and sent pics of our cat and dog every day that we were away. She was quick to respond to our text messages. Upon arriving home, we were pleased that everything had been well taken care of. The house was very clean and the pets were happy and healthy. They left the day after we got back home. It was great to catch up and hear how their 13 days at our place went. It was nice to get to know them better. They are welcome back to our home anytime. I can't say enough positive things about Joan (& Lynn). We are grateful and appreciative.

Happy Pets & Safe homes!
Magda and Ricky are amazing care takers, and individuals. They took care of our dog Dexter and kept the house impeccable. I highly recommend them as they are very sweet and reliable.

We promise to take care of your pets, gardens and home the very best we can.
Margaret was easy to communicate with and loved our pets. There was a health issue with one of our dogs and we needed to know right away. We only found out after we had arrived home and our local vet was closed. This is the only reason that this review is not five stars because she and her partner were great sitters in all other aspects. I wish them good luck with their adventures on Vancouver Island 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!
I was fortunate to have Hillary return for a second sit. She took excellent care of both my cat and my home. She got on well with my neighbors and even allowed my friend to come visit Suley while she was there. I especially appreciate how flexible and accommodating she was regarding arrangements for a sitter who would be taking over for the second part of my very long absence. All in all, Hillary is a gem!
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.
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.
Brian is a very professional sitter that does a good job, pays attention to details and is easy to work with. I have a lot of plants. A lot. He suggested me do a video for the plant care so he could be sure of which ones needed what. Brilliant! I’d never thought of that. They were in great shape when I returned. I explained that I needed some flexibility with travel dates, he agreed and rolled with the punches like a champ when my dates did indeed change. Unfortunately, he was a bit allergic to my cat but made it work anyway. He was really awesome about everything including a tree that fell next door in a storm and blocked the road for three days. I appreciate that he appreciated how funny and how much personality Boo has. They got along well and I received some great videos. I returned home to a happy cat and a house well taken care of 😊. I would definitely recommend Brian.
Kathryn was a wonderful sitter for Princessa! She was flexible and communicative and took great care of my cat and home.
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.
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!
My husband and I reached out to Toby & Chloe after reading their profile and impressive reviews only a week before our trip, since our scheduled sitter had to cancel at the last moment. They were very friendly and quick to respond to chat from the very beginning, and ended up exceeding our expectations during their two week stay. It was evident they had thoroughly read our Welcome Guide beforehand, as they arrived knowledgeable and prepared to care for our home and pets. They were very willing and happy to take the necessary time with us to walk through the house and meet our cats, as we got them acclimated with our daily routines and answered any questions. Shortly after we left, our city had a heat wave come through, and after immediately notifying us, Toby went beyond the call of duty and inspected our struggling AC unit to pinpoint the issue. As far as cat care is concerned, we have two seniors (who have more sensitive tummies) that can get irritated after a fur ball or swallowing anything out of the ordinary. When this occurred, Toby & Chloe stepped in and took wonderful care of our cat duo; softening their food and even cradling while hand-feeding them for extra comfort. We truly could not have asked for more affectionate and responsible sitters. We returned to a spotlessly clean home, happy cats, and well maintained plants and pool. (They even cleaned our dusty Kitchen pendant lighting, which requires a steady hand and is definitely a time-commitment …We felt like professional housecleaners had been there!) On our way back, Toby & Chloe stayed in communication with us to monitor our arrival time, allowing them to care for our cats until just before we got home. Overall, they are very reliable and trustworthy sitters whose genuine goal is to provide a top-quality sit, while maintaining your household and seamlessly transitioning to your pets daily schedule.
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!
