Faye kindly ‘held the fort’ for us for a couple of days so we could complete a visit planned before my husband ruptured his Achilles’. Thoughtful, kind and friendly, Faye looked after the dogs, donkeys and hens beautifully and everyone was in great form when we got home. Our place was spotless and everything in place - a perfect couple of carefree days away for us. We are so grateful for Faye’s capable help - welcome again any time! Thank you Faye!

Joyce was fantastic and I think the Mary Poppins of pet sitting!! We’d definitely ask her to sit again in the future. We could see that the dogs loved her and we felt so lucky that she could stay for the whole 6 weeks. I was reassured leaving for the trip as I could tell from the outset that our pets were in very kind and capable hands.

Esther was a wonderful sitter. She was very sensitive to our two cats Nala and Lia and immediately gained their trust. She arrived the evening before our departure so that we could explain everything in detail and the cats could sniff her out. That evening it was already clear to us that we could go on vacation without any worries. Updates and photos arrived daily, confirming that our pets were doing well. Esther is a wonderful and warm person. She also took a great interest in my personal fate, which was happening at the time. I don't take this for granted and I am incredibly grateful for this and of course for the great care of our cats, house and garden. We can warmly recommend Esther and hope that we will be able to welcome her back again. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Dawn and her family were perfect house and pet sitters looking after Luna and Tiffany. The house was beautifully clean and tidy when we arrived home and Luna clearly quite happy. She had obviously been exercised well as was very tired and slept a lot on our first day home. We would happily recommend Dawn as a housesitter for anyone wanting kind, reliable sitters

Hannah and Jackson were absolutely amazing pet sitters and took such great care of my dog and the house and many plants. They were great at communicating and sent lots of cute pictures and videos of their fun times and even of the garden. When my dog was a little unwell (completely her own fault) they didn’t hesitate to contact me and took such great care of her. They were very respectful of my house and left it all immaculate. I would definitely recommend using these two and know my dog will certainly miss them!

Marianne was wonderful. She came to meet our boy, Wally, a couple of times before the sit and came on walks with him so that he would be familiar with her before we left. We had constant communication and photos while we were away which set our mind at rest, knowing he was being well cared for and loved. Our home was was also clean and tidy upon our return, but most importantly, Wally was happy and very well looked after. Highly recommended! Thank you, Marianne!

Annabel went over and beyond as a sitter in my home! She did such a great job and was super helpful! She followed all of my instructions and took suck good care of Annabelle! I can tell Annabelle misses her because she goes to the guest room and sleeps in the bed in her room. She washed Annabelle without hesitation and brushed her while I was traveling. She even offered to cut my grass which I declined because I know that’s to much to expect. Annabel is super sweet and I would welcome her back in a second! It was so nice to have someone very cultured staying in my home who took such good care of my furbaby. I have to say the note she left and flowers were the icing on the cake! I would 100% welcome her back! She’s amazing!

"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.

I'm delighted to have found Lisa as a sitter and hope to have her back again! She was detail oriented and clearly cared about my cats' well being. She asked good questions about the cats' routines and needs and about the house to be sure she'd meet my expectations and have a comfortable and successful sit. She communicated very well before and throughout the sit and even though I was unreachable for much of the time I was confident everyone was in good hands. Lisa left the house in immaculate condition and the cats were relaxed and happy when I got home. What a delight!

Sharon and Milton are two of the nicest people I've met in my life. This is my first time having a sitter fly in from out of state and it was so simple, stress-free, and didn't affect any part of me getting ready for my trip, leaving for my trip or returning from my trip. Sharon was very communicative before, during and after I returned. It just couldn't have been more wonderful! If you're considering applicants stop looking  and  choose Sharon and Milton.  They are just delightfully wonderful wonderful people!! They go above and beyond just housesitting and pet sitting! Tidy, clean, respectful down to earth and the most kind and loving people.  I do believe Milton really is a cat whisper!! They slept with my sweet babies, and even  followed silly grooming instruction on one of my cats. Would have them sit for me absolutely anytime.

Daniel and Vasylyna were incredible house sitters and we would welcome them back to sit for us again any time they are available! They were fantastic communicators, making sure to work out details far in advance and they sent frequent picture updates of our animals which made us so happy while we were away. When the power went out in the neighborhood while they were here leading to a technology issue with our alarm system, they handled everything well. Upon our return, the house was clean, the garden was thriving and well cared for, and our dog and cat were clearly very loved while we were away - in fact our dog was sooooo sad to see them leave! I had the pleasure of getting to know them a bit before I left, and they are such a kind, adventurous, and great couple. I would highly recommend having Daniel and Vasylyna take care of your house, plants, and animals!

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!

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.

Jenny was an absolute delight, lovely to speak to and patient with last minute changes. I have had bad experiences with trusting people with my cats before so was really anxious as Jenny is the first house sitter I have used from zeewoi. But, I felt at ease as soon as I spoke to her, she has a lovely manner and she came round the day before the sit to male sure she had every detail right.

But I think the thing that helped the most was her regular updates about my cats. I could see from the videos she sent they were given lots of love and attention. My cats don't usually play with people but my little girl seemed to love her! 

My flat was immaculate when I got back as well, I am so grateful to Jenny for all her help and really hope to have her sit for me again!

Amazing sitters - I feel so fortunate to have had them stay. Chapeau was treated to daily walks and belly rubs, and my cat Tica was overflowing with contentment from having been taken care of so well. The house was cleaner than I left it and I was treated to a nice note and a lovely candle upon my return. Also, they left a checklist of item that they had done while here. Truly above and beyond!

Karen was able to step in a sit for me on short notice after another sitter canceled. She was very thorough and communicative and I felt I had left my apartment and cats in good hands with her. I came home to a clean apartment and happy cats. I definitely recommend Karen as a sitter.

Ann Marie was an excellent house sitter who went above and beyond. She flew in a day early and stayed at a local hotel so we she could meet my cat and get the keys before my early flight the next morning. 

When I returned, she and Tryke were best friends and the house was immaculate. She even washed the sheets and towels, and remade the bed. I strongly recommend Ann Marie for any future sits!
