Here for you and your beloved pet!
Donna was a truly wonderful pet and house sitter. Our dog Mazie fell in love with her (and vice versa), the house was in perfect order, she sent photos and reports every day, and, frankly, treated Mazie better than we do ourselves! She is responsible, kind, congenial and just an all-around nice person. We highly recommend her.

If you are lucky enough to have Lauren and Dalyn house and pet sit for you, you and your pets will be very, very happy! Lauren's communication from your first conversation is excellent and fun and puts you at ease that "all will be well while you're away". She'll text you daily, occasionally or not at all, whatever you prefer and she sends great pictures. Our two dogs got long daily walks, lots of love and lots of attention. When we got home and walked in our house, our pups were very ho-hum about our arrival, as if they hadn't even noticed we were gone! That's good pet sitting 😊. To add to that, they also take exceptionally good care of your home. They whole house was immaculate, not a dog hair on the floor (how she did that I have no idea), all the laundry was done and professionally folded (not exaggerating), and she had prepped a meal for our first night home, which was excellent! Not to mention fresh flowers around the house. Oh, and the yard was freshly mowed. Just wow. Lauren and Dalyn are just an exceptional young couple.

This was our second sit with Michele and Poppy, and we’d be delighted to have them back any time! Michele is an attentive and very caring pet sitter and takes great care of everything.

After meeting Jessica, we immediately felt comfortable leaving our house and dog in her hands. She kept in touch daily with pictures and videos of our fur baby, which made us feel at ease that he was doing well and felt comfortable. Jessica was easy to connect with and you automatically know that she has a passion for animals. She kept our house tidy and even washed her sheets before leaving, which she did not have to do, but that shows how thoughtful and above and beyond she goes! Thank you so much Jessica! Our pup has a new auntie that we would love to invite back to our home!

Jaya watched our cat and home for a long weekend in October. She was very communicative and responsive, provided timely updates and was very pleasant to interact with. We came home to a happy cat and a spotless house. I recommend Jaya for future sits!

Melissa was absolutely amazing. We felt very lucky to have her sitting our babies. Since the first conversation I felt that she genuinely cares for animals. She is very kind, thoughtful and organized. She sent us pictures and updates daily which we deeply appreciated. The communication was very smooth and easy. She left our apartment in a perfect condition. Cannot recommend her enough! 🫶

Aloha, I look forward to sitting for you!
Only the best to say! Meghan and her mom stayed for a month. We came home to happy healthy dogs and a spotless home. Communication was great. We had a few house issues (AC went out; an exterminator issue) and they handled them easily and competently with no drama. Really cannot recommend them highly enough. Would use them again in a heartbeat!

This was the second time Susan watched Sam. I feel so lucky! She left the house nice and neat. She sent me fun photos and was easy to chat with when anything came up. Sam is happy and he missed her last night - even going to the spare room to look for her. So I am certain she was amazing from a dog perspective too. Thanks Susan!

Wonderful pet sitter, would love to use Vicki again. She was responsible and reliable. Appreciated getting photo and video updates of our dog. She left the house clean
This was our first time using zeewoi and we were a little apprehensive, especially as we were going away for almost 5 weeks, but we really didn’t need to be. Mary and Kevin were fantastic from the start. They had excellent communication and put us at ease straight away. They looked after both our cats with lots of care and we came home to two very happy and content kitties. Mary and Kevin struck the balance just right whilst we were away by keeping us informed of how the cats were and sending pictures of what the cats were up to every couple of days. It was so lovely to know that the cats were enjoying themselves and being so well looked after whilst we were away. Mary and Kevin also looked after our house extremely well and we came back to a very clean and tidy home. We would definitely recommend Mary and Kevin to anyone needing a house sitter and would love for them to sit for us again if they were ever back in the area.
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.
Young was the perfect house sitter for us. From the moment you meet her, you can tell she is animal person and is detailed oriented and will take great care of your house and pets. She exudes a peaceful and grounded energy. She was comfortable with each our pets from the high energy dog to the shy skittish cat. She played with the dog in the yard every day and took him on walks. And she was also very attentive to our cats and figured out how to maintain the equilibrium in the relationship between the cats and dog. She is an excellent communicator; she asked questions when our directions weren't clear and kept us updated on the pets. She is also an amazing photographer. She sent us pics of our pets every day that totally captured each of their personalities.
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!
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.
Elisabeth was an excellent sitter for our cat. We were away for two weeks and received daily photos and notes from her about Catman's activities (i.e., sleeping and eating). She is definitely a cat lover and that was evident from our cat's calm behavior when we returned.
Paige, David, and family were WONDERFUL sitters for my crew! They were so pleasant and personable, and the pets warmed up to them very quickly. Even my rescue cat who tends to stray away from men loved David. I received regular updates and communication (before and during the sit). I truly did not have any concerns while I was away knowing that everyone had such great care and attention given to them. (I know the dogs had a good time because when I came home there was no commotion over my return.) I was away on NYE and Paige had no issues keeping an eye on one of the dogs who has anxiety surrounding loud noises. The family cleaned up after themselves and may have left the house cleaner than when I left! Truly such a great family who I would welcome back any time!
Florence is everything you want in a cat sitter! We have two cats that need a lot of human attention. One takes multiple medications twice a day and they both are used to eating on their own schedule and having people around so it is always very important to us to find a pet sitter that will be spending a lot of time in the apartment and that doesn't mind being very attentive. We were able to meet Florence before our trip and felt 100% confident that she would take great care of our cats. Florence is comfortable giving medication, she sent us photos and updates and left our apartment spotless. We were so happy that we had her come back the following week when we went away again for a short trip! We will definitely contact Florence again whenever we travel and hope that she is available!
Tracy was an ideal pet sitter when we left for 12 days. She was communicative, friendly, and most importantly took perfect care of our two cats and our house. I would highly recommend her for any sit!
Jose was a wonderful pet/house sitter for us recently. We highly recommend him. He was wonderfully reliable and responsible and took such good care of our two pets. On short notice Jose drove down from Grass Valley to the East Bay for a bit of a quiet get-away while working a really hard job teaching online. We know how hard that is firsthand and partly why we needed our own get-away for a last-minute backpacking trip. We have a recently rescued pit bull and a rescued cat that we're still introducing to each other to make sure the dog doesn't eat the cat (as he seems to want to), and the cat doesn't blind the dog (as she would if he tried to eat her). That might be more background than is needed in a review but Jose made us feel comfortable about everything because of how conscientious and responsible he clearly is. We could tell when we talked to him that he was genuinely kind and eminently trustworthy. We are very grateful and hope Jose was happy with everything too because we know what a value his care was to us. Jose truly deserves any and all house-sitting gigs that strike his interest. Ours was not the easiest and he was amazing. Get him if you can.
