Dynamic House-Sitting Duo – Devoted to Your Pets' Happiness
Francisca and Aline were amazing sitters! They followed all the instructions to a T which included feeding Dobby his medication, giving him treats during his walk (as he is reactive towards dogs), and securing cupboard doors in the kitchen. They left the flat impeccably tidy and we couldn’t have been happier to have them dog- and house-sit for us this time!

We are Camila and Tiare! Chileans soon in Europe looking for little friends :)
Sadly my experience with Camilla and Tiare was very bad. I have never had a bad experience using the site, so I acted with a lot of trust towards the girls. It was not possible for me to personally meet the sitters beforehand because they arrived after my departure. I therefore agreed with the sitters to lock themselves in and greet the dogs. The dogs are extremely loving towards everyone, so I trusted this process would run smoothly. The communication was not good and I could not get a hold of Camilla on the day of their arrival, making me anxious if the dogs were left alone too long. A few days into the sit I receive complaints from my neighbors about extreme noise. They are aware there is sitters and tell me that since the sitters arrival the dogs have been loud, but that particular day the dogs had been barking all day. This is not normal behavior from my dogs. My dogs can bark if they hear people passing in the building, but barking all day is worrying. I therefore immediately contact Camilla and am super worried. She claims the dogs are not left alone, but bark all day in their presence. The dogs have been with sitters at least once a month the past year and this has never been the case. I therefore know that the dogs are either very mistreated for them to bark in their presence or Camilla is lying about them leaving the dogs. A condition of being able to take the sitting was that I had a mover coming to take a moving load prepared in the kitchen. This was mentioned in the listing and I also made sure to double confirm with Camilla before accepting them as sitters that they read and agreed to this, as it was very important to me that the sitter knew this was a term for agreeing to the sit. Upon the day of the mover's arriving (the day after my neighbors complaining) I planned with my mom to stop by and supervise the mover as well as check on the dog's wellbeing. All of this I of course communicated to Camilla who was aware that my mom would come. The girls did nothing to try and calm my moms worries and closed themselves alone in the bedroom before asking if they could leave for the shop. This means my mom was alone with the 3 dogs when the mover was there. The first thing the dogs did when my mom came in was to pee and poop themselves in front of her. As my mom inspected the apartment there was dry pee and poop everywhere. It was clear that Camilla and Tiare had not walked my dogs, not even before my moms arrival. There was pee and poop from several days and my mom had to clean my apartment. My mom took the dog out for a walk and my dogs had severe diarrhea from likely being fed human food by the sitters. One of the dogs had dried diarrhea all over her backside. My mom was shocked that they would not even try to clean before her arrival or try to speak to her, as the sitters we usually have, have cared so strongly about the wellbeing of my dogs. I immediately contacted the emergency line on Trustenhousesitters and was guided to ask the sitters to leave immediately, which I did. I told the girls that treating my animals this way and leaving my house in such poor and unhygienic state was unacceptable. Camilla later claimed that there was no cleaning products to clean after the dogs. This is simply not true as I have a whole cabinet of cleaning supplies in the kitchen and even hot water and soap could have cleaned the pee and poop. There is also a detailed sitter guide with all this information in. I have put a complaint for Camilla and Tiare to be removed from the platform as I feel like they do not have the health of the animals in mind. They seem very young and probably just use this platform to be able to stay for free on their trip around europe.
Reviews from Cat Owners
Amanda
"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.
Daniel
Julia was an amazing sitter and we couldn't be happier with our experience! From our first contact to when we arrived home after our trip, communication was excellent and we were able to enjoy our time away with complete peace of mind that our pets and our home were in good hands. We particularly appreciated how clean and tidy everything was when we got home with the linens and towels all washed and dried! Our cats clearly didn't miss us a bit - they were relaxed, their coats brushed and were giving us side-eye "oh, so, back to normal then? " looks as we unpacked. Thanks for everything Julia!
Claudia
Carole and Ron are excellent cat-sitters! They took very good care of my cat Lola and of my house. I came home to a happy cat and a very clean and tidy house. They sent me pictures of Lola and kept me updated, so that I had a very relaxed holiday. I very highly recommend them as cat- sitters and I would be thrilled if they would come back to sit for Lola again. Thank you so much!
Jenner
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!
Sean
Kimberly was a wonderful sitter who watched our two cats for us while we were out. She was willing to come a day early to help acclimate herself with the animals, and this was exceedingly helpful in making sure the cats would be comfortable with her during our absence. I would highly recommend Kimberly if you're looking for a responsible, caring sitter.
Thea
Hannah and Joseph were brilliant sitters - totally reliable and trustworthy. Quick to respond to queries and their past experience with dog/ housesitting was very apparent. Our 2 dogs and 1 cat were well looked after and the house was spotless on our return. We are totally happy to recommend them.
Kaori
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 :)

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!

Greetings Pet People, I am a bit late leaving my review for Kristine who is local to us and has taken care of our kitties Max and Luis a few times this year. After COVID-19 was announced in March, our travel plans came to an abrupt halt. We had to cancel a lot of trips we had planned but decided that it was safe to go camping a couple of times this summer. We called on Kristine as one of our favorite sitters on this site. We discussed safety protocols and agreed to cleaning that we would do to leave the house safe for her to enter. She shared protocols that she had taken with other homeowners and had sound processes to make us feel safe leaving our cats and our home in her care. She even purchased batteries for our automatic cat feeder when it failed to let one of our confused kitties to eat. Kristine is a smart, humorous and a thoughtful person. I would not hesitate to recommend her for your sit. She truly loves animals and taking care of your home. Highly recommended! Thanks Kristine!

Kristi was an exceptional house / pet sitter and we appreciate her being so flexible as were not sure how long our vacation was going to be. She was prompt, courteous, and even drove up the weekend before to meet with us. She took great care of our house and our dog snd cats loved her. I would highly recommended her.
