Lacey is amazing, a real dream-come-true pet sitter. My cats adored her, and it was obvious she gave them her time and care. We received regular updates as we had requested, which included videos and photos. The cats seemed to enjoy Laceys company so much, that upon leaving, they were checking in on her. Communication with Lacey was great, before and during the sit, and she was flexible to stay an extra night as our flight home was quite late. Grateful that she referred to the welcome manual regarding bins etc, as we had completely forgot, but she just got on it. Very self-sufficient and tidy guest, and any pet owner would be lucky to have her care for your pets.

Candy came to take care of our pups with her two kids. They were absolutely amazing! The dogs were extremely well cared for and the house was in fantastic condition when we got back. We couldn’t have asked for a better sit. We would have them back in a heartbeat. Thank you, Candy!

Sammy is a fantastic house and pet sitter. This was our first experience with TH and we are thrilled! Sammy was very communicative, focused and loved our dogs. Oskar and Lily had the time of their loves with her. They immediately bonded, and we received daily picture updates on their activities. We felt completely at ease around her despite giving up our house to a total stranger! We can highly recommend Sammy. She even left us with some homemade macaroons upon our return, and the house was spotless. We would gladly welcome her back anytime.

Let me start by saying that I have never approved a zeewoi with children to petsit and was concerned about doing so. After a FaceTime chat with Kemi I decided to give it a chance. As a veterinarian and despite having teenagers, I was concerned about having small children in my non child proofed home with animals they do not know. The first day seemed difficult for Kemi and family as they adjusted to my dogs, who are excellent with children, but I do not think they were accustomed to a young, large breed dog. They seemed concerned, confused and critical of normal behaviors for a Golden Retriever… like trying to eat the other dogs food. When we spoke one Facetime I let Kemi know my Cavalier sleeps in bed with me, but the night of her arrival she made it clear that would not be possible for her as she can not sleep with an animal and wanted to know the alternative. I gave her permission to have him sleep in his crate, which he isn’t used to and was disappointing. Over the 10 days they were with the dogs, they gradually became more comfortable with them and their routine. Kemi is extremely meticulous about following the welcome letter exactly and had many questions about that. There were some strange things though - like being sent photos of my small dog’s poop on my floor… when I asked if they left him in his crate (as he always should be when not home) I was told her child forgot to latch the crate door so he was free in the house (something he is never allowed) and he also was not given the opportunity to poop outside (as it was communicated he always must after eating) before leaving him. I also repeatedly asked for him not to be walked on a leash outside (she sent photos of her children with him outside on a leash) because he is trained on the invisible fence, but Kemi was too nervous to do that. They let my large dog out without a leash with the invisible fence though…. We came home to find our home just as clean as we left it - Kemi even removed and laundered the bedding before leaving our home. They were also really good about picking up the poop in the yard, which was nice and were very respectful about my home and belongings.

I would gratefully have Catherine and Guy back here. in fact, this was their second time at our home. Lovely people who took just wonderful care of our home and our beloved kitty. in addition, although we did not leave our two Tibetan terriers with them, we would be very totally comfortable doing that in the future. It’s clear from our several conversations that they care a lot for cats and dogs AND understand how to raise dogs so they don’t develop bad habits, which is what is most important to us.

Joy and Brandon were excellent sitters! We had a video call before the sit to answer any questions, and text messages with photos while we were away. They left the house nice and tidy, and all of our pets were happy as could be. We would love to have them back any time! ( I think they could even tend to my bees in a pinch...they have beekeeping experience.)

It was my first time using zeewoi so I was slightly apprehensive, but as soon as I heard from Kendra I knew both my cat and my apartment would be in safe hands. Kendra was great with communicating and coming back quickly, very friendly and clearly experienced with sitter jobs. Whilst staying at my place she sent me regular updates. Once I returned home the flat was spotless. I would highly recommend Kendra and I would certainly use her again. She’s great!

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!!!

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!

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!

Kathryn was such nice and kind sitter that both of my boyfriend and me were grateful to have, including my cats!!
My cats seemed having great time with her, being around her, chilling on couch with her, or even sitting on her. I got several photos of my cats from her with whort updates. I’m thankful that she let me do facetimes with her when I missed my cats.
The house was clean and tidy when we came back.
I definately will ask her again to sit my cats and house when I need.

Thank you Kathryn!!:)

Catherine was a wonderful sitter for our 17 year old cat Zabba. She sent us pictures twice a day and kept us informed about Zabba’s daily activities. We came home to a clean  home and would definitely recommend her as a pet/ house sitter. My only concern was that she doesn’t drive and with an older cat, I just prayed that Zabba didn’t need to go to the vet…. And he didn’t 🥰. We will ask her again for sure.

Danny and Jo did a great job caring for our 3 cats and fish AND lots of plants (and home of course) while we were out of town for 3 weeks. We came back to a very clean house, sheets, and towels all clean and folded and fresh sheets on the bed they were using. The plants were all alive too, which is a first for us (again, we have a lot of plants!). The cats were happy to see us and they were all accounted for (a past sitter lost a cat for a week - they escaped outside as a non-outside cat). Everything was in its place and looked great. We received regular updates (via text) with photos of the cats lounging about which was important for us. Danny asked good questions when they visited us before the sit, and when reviewing our pet/house sitting instructions. The only thing we noticed that was different was that our 2 young cats were a little lighter (not necessarily a bad thing) but we understand that being gone for that length of time can be stressful on our furry family, which almost always affects their eating habits. All in all, we would definitely have them again!

If Cung ever applies to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the offer. You will not be disappointed. Cung is among the top (if not the top) sitter I’ve ever had and I’ve been on this site for years.

Primarily, Cung is very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Cung kept me abreast of his plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk him through the instructions would work as planned. 

Second, Cung really cares. When he got to my apartment after what I assume was a long day of traveling, I explained the care instructions and he was very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Cung followed those exactly.

Third, Cung makes you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out within an hour of me being away - very fast for my cat as he is shy. Cung must have a calming energy towards animals. Cung was also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 5 minutes. I really appreciated that. My cat threw up at one point and Cung answered all of my questions to assess whether my cat was sick or had just eaten too fast.

Fourth, Cung will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The sheets were washed and folded on my bed. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Cung also respects your property. I have an extensive computer setup that he used for work and he was very respectful of that equipment. He asked if he could use it beforehand, which was incredibly polite since he could have used it and I wouldn’t have known. 

In sum. You need to jump at the opportunity if Cung offers to sit for you. I came home to a very happy cat. Hope he will sit for me again sometime!

Caroline was a fabulous sitter and looked after our cat and the house beautifully. She is sensible and very self-sufficient but also kept us informed. We came home to a happy cat and a tidy house. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others and hope she will sit for us again in the future!

Chris was a fantastic cat sitter for our elderly and high maintenance kitty.  Chris was the perfect combination of responsible and on top of her medication needs while also being calm and relaxed about her picky eating habits and the need to monitor her food and medication consumption.  He was prompt, easy to get a hold of,  responsible, and overall, a great sitter.  I would definitely recommend him and most certainly hope to have him stay with her again.
