Alexis
Wanaka, New Zealand
Perfect house sitters - well trained , well travelled, self funded, reliable
Alexis and Frank were the perfect housesitters. This is the first time we have used zeewoi and Alexis and frank held our hands every step of the way. They were happy to meet us at home before the sit, despite the fact that they live in NewZealand and we live in the UK. They were lovely and it was obviously from that first meeting that they knew exactly what they were doing, even though we didn’t. They made us feel completely confident to leave both our home and our precious pet in their care. They txt us regularly in the days before the sit confirming timings and arrival details. Whilst we were away Alexis and Frank just sent us a picture of Larry with a little comment which was lovely and really helped. Larry was in great form when we got home, he was settled and happy. My house and garden were looked after perfectly, Alexis and Frank had even mowed my lawn. They had washed and dried all the towels and bed linen they had used and left us a delicious soup to arrive to in the fridge. They even put some of my garden flowers together in a pretty flower arrangement to come in to which was really lovely. I would definitely recommend Alexis and Frank, they were the perfect people for nervous newbies like us. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.

Kiwis traveling around America
Sian and Geena were wonderful with Sadie. Sadie takes some care and attention to warm up to new people and she warmed right up to them. They were communicative, clean and very kind. Highly recommend as sitters again.
Alli
Wanaka, New Zealand
Trustworthy and loving pet sitter!
Alli was great with our dog Rue and had clearly read all of the info about Rue beforehand which made us feel super relaxed and like Ruey was in great hands. House was super clean and tidy when we returned. Would 100% recommend Alli and will be reaching out for pet sitting again :)

Awesome couple :)
Gerry
Wanaka, New Zealand
Calm and responsible home owning couple
Gerry and Ella were amazing sitters for our two dogs. Both the house and the girls were very well looked after. Thanks again Gerry and Ella for making the trip up to sit for us.
Caterina
Wanaka, New Zealand
Perfect carers to put your mind at rest
Caterina and Shai and their 2 lovely boys looked after our home and 2 miniature horses, 2 donkeys and cat so well while we had our summer holiday. We came home to contented animals, a watered garden and a clean house. They even went the extra mile and cooked dinner for us on our arrival. We would reccomend them to anyone!
Toni
Wanaka, New Zealand
KIWI GARDEN LOVERS - to care for your pets, house and garden. Summer 2024
Toni and Paul are a fantastic couple and brilliant housesitters. They were great at communicating before the sit (and during it) and I was confident we would be leaving everything in safe hands. When they arrived they slotted in easily and quickly, they are fun to be around and they were so thoughtful and helpful that it took away a lot of the last minute stress of leaving home. Bertie our spaniel also took to them immediately and I was quite happy leaving him in their very capable hands. They are the sort of people who you know would just cope with anything that happened with no fuss. On our return home the house was immaculate, Toni had put flowers everywhere, had made jam with all the extra fruit we had growing, and also made some delicious cakes. Again they were so thoughtful about making things on our return as easy as possible for us. In addition they had done lots in the garden and it was a joy to come home and not find everything totally overgrown. Some people just make life better for the people they come into contact with, and that applies to Toni and Paul. They are a wonderful couple and my only regret is that we had not had longer to spend with them while they were here. I simply cannot recommend them highly enough.
Karen
Wanaka, New Zealand
We would love to look after your pet and home while we're far from our home
Karen and Andrew were so easy to communicate with - they were flexible and helpful with timings and arrangements. My small dog was on antibiotics by the time they arrived and they managed her medication effectively with no fuss. Very kind, gentle, self sufficient people who clearly have a great rapport with dogs of all shapes and sizes. Every thing was left beautifully clean and tidy and I would welcome them both back any time.
Ashley
Wanaka, New Zealand
Experienced, Reliable, Happy, Easy-going, animal-loving Couple. (non-smoking, cl
Ashley and Nick were wonderful caregivers for Kiki - she clearly loved them and they sent lovely photos to let me see how well she was settling into having them around. They left the house in an immaculate state and were just delightful. They made both going away and coming home stress-free. I highly recommend them.

Part time petsitter veterinarian taking a gap year after graduation from uni
Exceptional!!! Our dog has seizures and is on medication twice a day. Dovi stayed on top of it amazingly well! Tons of communication and daily updates! I wish she could always take care of our dog!!!!!
Reviews from Cat Owners
Karin
Kendra was a great cat sitter to Genepi and she truly is a cat whisperer. Genepi usually takes 4 days to make friends with a new person but she came out and made friends with Kendra Day 1! Kendra regularly sent wonderful videos and pics of Genepi purring happily. The apartment was neat when we returned and our garden was blossoming. Would absolutely ask Kendra to sit again and highly recommend her. Thanks Kendra!!
Sandi
Chris and Julia were our very first sitters and are the most perfect house/pet sitters anyone would ever want!!! Julia sent video/pictures of our fur babies everyday and we noticed early on that our animals were very relaxed and happy!! This made our trip so enjoyable and stress free knowing that our animals were safe and being spoiled and loved the whole time. They even trained our dog to sit while her leash was being attached and was able to pet and hold our cat that is somewhat nervous around strange people he doesn't know. When I got back from the trip, the house was very clean along with Julia/Chris had washed the bed sheets, bath towels, vacuumed, dusted etc., and even washed the pet bedding. They also left some SE Asia treats for us to try which so sweet of them. Definitely the perfect house sitters!!!
Meghan
Kristi was an absolutely incredible sitter -- I think our favorite one ever! She was easy to communicate with, kind and personable, and took great care of our pets and our house. It was the first time we had left both our dog and our cat with a TH sitter and Kristi went above and beyond. She was very self-sufficient but provided fun updates and pictures and our pets loved her. Highly recommend!
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.
Elizabeth
Marianna was an incredible house sitter and cat sitter. She gave our property and sweet kitty top notch care. She is kind, easy to communicate with, thorough, etc. Would highly recommend her, you will not be disappointed.
Erin
Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!
Stacey
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!
Inma
Jenima is an excellent sitter! She is organized, communicative and flexible throughout the stay. We needed a sitter at the last minute because Jazz got sick, and Jenima saved us. We left a little worried about him, but Jenima took care of him really well and kept us informed. Cats love her! We definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!
Jim
Heidi was an outstanding cat sitter for my Luna! She was very communicable via calls or texts. She followed all my guidelines for feeding and care of Luna. Luna was very content when I arrived home thanks to Heidi! My home was immaculate when I arrived and she did some snow shoveling. She even pulled a large broken tree branch off my roof following a windstorm. I hope Heidi is available for my next trip because she is awesome. Jim
Francine
Steven was a great sitter for our black lab Souris and cat Pinot. They were well looked after and really liked Steven. Our house was in good order when we got back and Steven was kind enough to give us a lift to and from the airport. He was very flexible, arriving day early so we could show him around.
