Eileen and Michael are fantastic sitters! They did a magnificent job caring for our two little Shitzus. They were very responsive and great to work with. They have a special touch with the dogs, took them on long walks, countless belly rubs, had our pups happy and sleeping well. We received a bunch of adorable pictures during their visit too. Really gave us peace of mind during our trip. Eileen and Michael have our highest recommendation! We will definitely ask Eileen and Michael to come back! Dina & Sean

Woof, woof and wags brings a smile into my heart. All is well, it truly can be.
Carol and Dennis were very friendly and had great communication. This was our first sitting and we were nervous about not having our home ready or having issues with Gunner but with Carols daily/multiple times a day text updates and pictures of Gunner, it was very relaxing for us. Unfortunately, our pup was very energetic and mouthy during their arrival ... So we will be looking for new ways to introduce him to future sitters. He is a 85lb puppy that still doesn't know his size and so that was worrisome for us with them as an older couple. However, Gunner enjoyed the time with them and they also enjoyed his goofy personality!

Snuggles, walks and fun galore with an experienced, reliable sitter!
Beth was a fantastic house sitter. This was our first time using zeewoi and we were quite anxious about how it would go but Beth put us at ease immediately. Beth is clearly very experienced with travelling and taking care of peoples pets and homes. We left Beth responsible for our dog, cat and gold fish. Our dog can be extremely anxious and Beth handled this really well, keeping in contact as much as was required and asking for as much information as possible to bond with our dog and ensure the stay ran smoothly. She also handled our dog stealing her shoe on occasion and the cat bringing in a live bird as a present - with no complaints! We came home to very happy healthy pets and a lovely clean home. We would highly recommend Beth for anyone looking for a Zeewoi! Thank you again Beth!! :-) Emily & Olly

Boy, did I gey lucky with Rachelle and Lou! I am so happy with their excellent care of our home and our pets. They both went above and beyond. Lou performed a few repairs. They organized my cupboards, creating order out of chaos. They tidied up and left our home cleaner than when they arrived. Our home sparkled. And we were treated to home made chocolate chip muffins. Written communication and pictures were excellent. Our pets, Poshie and Leo, were well fed, loved up and contented. Did they miss us? I doubt it. Rachelle's stated goal was to get my skittish and grumpy cat, Leo, in her lap . It worked, even if it was only for a minute for a start. If they were here longer, he would have made himself at home in her lap. Poshie overcame her skepticism of stangers in the house and cuddled up to Rachelle and Lou. I sincerely hope to have them back for future pet sits. Any time!

How can I help?
Kristy has sat for us before so this sit was as smooth as could be. Kristy is an excellent communicator and we loved the frequent updates we got from her. It's clear that our dogs just adore her.

New to the zeewoi concept, we are very happy with how this sit went. We planned our trip, and this sit, many months ago. Seemed so long ago that we hoped our sitter hadn't forgotten us! It was also a long trip, almost two weeks long. Tommy arrived on schedule and we had a wonderful meet and greet. She was at ease with our animals (two cats and a dog) and immediatley fit in. We left feeling confident our critters and home would be well taken care of. Tommy sent us daily texts, pictures and videos. When we arrived home at the end of our travels, we found the house very neat and clean, and some wonderful treats for us to enjoy. It was obvious that Dot, Andy and Cooper were attached to Tommy and were sad to see her leave. Tommy is a world class sitter and we would love to have her back again!

Another great sit. Tarsila and Ariane have sat for me frequently. I always check to see if they are available when I travel. The pets love them and I know my home will be well taken care of.

This was the 2nd time we had used Robert and Biljana, and once again, they did not disappoint!!! They are so wonderful with Truman. Always making sure he gets plenty of exercise and love! They do a great job of keeping us updated on how Truman is doing while we are gone. As long as they are available, we will always try and use their service.
Toby and Chloe were amazing pet sitters. It wasn’t the easiest sit - a nervous dog and 3 cats with various ailments and medication to have, but they took it all in their stride and cared for them so well without any issues. Our nervous dog Zelda warmed to them in just 2 days which is a record for house sitters so far! I also really enjoyed getting to know them over dinner the night before I left, they’re very easygoing and positive people. They also left the house spotless for when I came back. I would love to have them sit for us again. You can rest assured your house and animals are in safe hands with this lovely pair!
I never met Joi because due to her work, she arrived after I left and was gone before I returned home. This wasn't a problem at all. She was very self-sufficient and seemed to find all that she needed in my house. The house looked exactly like I left it and my cat seemed very content when I returned. Apparently they had a nightly routine of Luna getting brushed. Joi is a very experienced sitter and it shows.
I feel that Julia is simply the best person and pet sitter I could ask for. They really cared for our cat and gave him lots of attention. She is flexible, upbeat, reliable, considerate and great at communicating. I highly recommend Julia and Chris.
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!
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 .....
Great pet sitter - took perfect care of our cat and our home. They were super communicate leading up to and during the sit and left our apartment in great shape. I'd absolutely recommend them to any future sitters!
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!
Becca was fantastic - we cannot say enough about how great she is as a pet and house sitter and as a human being! Becca committed to the sit 8 months in advance and was great with her responsiveness in communication during the long lead up to the sit. She arrived early and got the low downs on the animals and house stuff prior to us leaving. She woke up crazy early to help us get to the airport and picked us up when we returned, which made the traveling so much easier on our end. She left the house spot-less (and this is no exaggeration), with the linens cleaned, and a wonderful meal waiting for us upon our return. She is an absolute gem of a person with a great sense of humor and a kind and compassionate nature, and she really enjoys the animals in her care. Our dog and cat were very well cared for and totally at ease upon our return. If you are lucky enough to have Becca sit for you, you will be very pleased at how well she does the job!
Kathryn was a wonderful sitter for Princessa! She was flexible and communicative and took great care of my cat and home.
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.
