Retired couple looking for long term House/Cat Sitting anywhere in the World
Michael and Angela were nothing short of wonderful. They took inmaculate care of Oreo (our cat), our two fish (which Michael called “The Twins”), our home and the outdoor plants and deck. We could not have asked for better sitters. They sent regular text messages about the house and pets with pictures of the mail we received that was not junk mail. In addition to being good caretakers, they were super nice people and fun to know. We would have them return in a heart beat. What a wonderful couple!

Active 50-something couple interested in both urban and rural house/pet sits
So happy to have met Chris and Edward. They are a wonderful couple and took great care of with our fur babies. So much so, that we contracted with them for a second sit.

Reliable and loving pet-sitter
Missy was a wonderful house/cat sitter. Don't hesitate to select Missy. She's very friendly and personable. The cats took to her immediately. She took wonderful care of my cats and frequently sent me pictures, which I really appreciated. The house was spotless when I returned, which was a delight. Missy was quite flexible when a car problem delayed my departure for a day. I would highly recommend Missy.

Reliable, responsible gal looking to provide peace of mind during your vaca!
Missy was a great house guest and dog sitter! She communicated well before and during the sit, as well as being extremely tidy. We returned and found the house in perfect condition and Diesel in good spirits. I highly recommend Missy as a zeewoi!

Tender-Hearted Semi-Retired Professional Seeks Working Retreat With Your Pets
I selected Alice based on a Zoom 'interview'. She was intelligent, interesting and had a good sense of humour. She arrived the day before I left to come to my condo so I could show her around, in person. I found that very thoughtful. During my trip, Alice sent updates with cute stories and pictures. She prepared for my arrival by changing sheets, towels and thoroughly cleaning everything. My cats were relaxed and content. During the brief time I spent with Alice I sensed her good nature and her deep, interesting personality. She is someone with whom I could easily be friends.

Responsible pet sitter that will treat them like family.
We went on a trip half way around the world. It was so nice to know Teresa was in our home taking care of our 3 dogs (German Shephard, Golden Retriever and King Charles Cavalier) and my numerous plants inside and out. We were only available with email so with Teresa in charge I had not worries. She left the house in great order. I will continue to use Teresa in the future and would highly recommend her as your sitter for your next trip.

Pet Lover who wants to travel
Matthew & Stephanie are wonderful pet caretakers and housesitters. They are excellent communicators, shared sweet photos of our girl while we were away, and we came home to a very clean home. It's the best feeling to go away and know our pup is well-cared for and our house looked after as if it was their own. Being family, we know them very well and can say with certainty that Matt and/or Stephanie would be outstanding zeewoi for any length of stay.

Your Pet's Staycation: Love, Care, and Wagging Tails
Cindy provided excellent pet care as I expected (this is her second sit for us). She was good about keeping us informed on weather and potential house damage. She's a great guest too and always leaves our place so neat and tidy. I hope she chooses to sit for us again in the future!

Terri and Blake were wonderful house sitters, Harri our Welsh Springer Spaniel had clearly been more than well looked after. We received lots of pictures of him obviously having a great time. Blake looked after my garden so well. They are a very personable couple and we would recommend them highly.
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!
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.
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.
After seeing the numerous positive reviews, I knew Cung would be an easygoing and professional cat sitter and house guest, and he was :-) Easy communication, prompt updates and clear concern for Boz & Artie's wellbeing, and pictures of cozying up on the couch together all made our time away secure and stress free. Upon returning home, the cats were chill and the apt was left spotless, as though he hadn't even been there.
Wow! Just wow! We cannot say enough about the care and compassion Trisha and John provided to our cats and our home. We are always somewhat nervous about a new pet sitter in our home, but that all faded when we met this wonderful couple. They provided daily updates as requested, complete with pictures, videos and personalized captions. Upon our return, we were greeted by happy and content kitties. There was no sign of anxiety in Tika! Yea!!! Our home was clean, the sheets and towels were washed and bed remade! They even left behind thank you notes and little gifts! What a breath of fresh air these two individuals are! We hope to have them back again soon.
Windy & Dustin are some of my top go-tos! They are wonderful sitters who I can trust to take care of my cats and goats and love them like their own! They are so respectful of my house and are always flexible with me when plans change last minute.
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!
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.
Rick and Sally are marvelous cat sitters and we would gladly have them back anytime. We highly recommend them to any and all pet owners. They arrived when they said they would and were ready to go when we returned, making sure our cats were present before departing. Our home was left spotless, undoubtedly better than we left it for them. We can't urge you enough to engage them if you can!
