Retired and Free to Travel
Betsy & Bill were ideal sitters - confident, friendly & interesting. They looked after our dogs very well, keeping to their routine whilst also keeping us informed together with photos. The house & gardens were similarly kept in immaculate order. We would have no hesitation in having them back & recommending them to others.

Retired dog trainer, pet sitter, and dog foster parents seeking adventures.
Dennis and Brenda arrived the evening before I left, giving us time to get acquainted and familiarize them with the house and my dog, Piper. This was my first experience with zeewoi and they put me at ease asking great questions. They kept in touch by text with questions and reports on walks with Piper and daily updates. When I returned, the house was clean and well cared for. I will check their availability again next summer when they are in the area. Excellent experience and I would recommend Brenda and Dennis to care for your home and dogs.

Two caring, loving teachers to take care of your babies while you are away!
Jason and Amanda have taken care of my pets before. I was so happy that they were able to come back and I would have them back any and every time! They love on my pets and they are so respectful and considerate of my house. What more could you possibly ask for?

Retired couple ready for our next adventure in house sitting.
Mary and Bill were great. We got on well from the start and the animals adored them. They happily and conscientiously took on board all their responsibilities and exceeded them, even accepting a furniture delivery for us. They kept in touch regularly and we had no concerns that our animals were being looked after perfectly. When we came back the house was immaculate, animals in great condition and we were delighted. We’d love to have Mary and Bill back anytime, even if we’re not going away.

Animal lovers looking to spoil your furry ones while you are away.
Matt and Sue have once again returned to save the day! I have reserved them to sit for my cat three times this summer. I am never sure how my cat will react to sitters. Within the hour of their arrival they sent a reassuring photo of my fussy Izzy being lovingly groomed. Traveling becomes a little less stressful when you are confident your sitter and pet have made a connection.

Adventurers and Animal Lovers and looking forward to the next journey!
I was new to zeewoi, it was my first time leaving my pets and I was nervous. Within minutes of speaking with Gail, on the phone, I was at ease. It was like speaking with an old friend. Gail and Scott were just the couple I was hoping for. Experienced, patient, kind, considerate and reliable. I was so happy that Gail suggested arriving a day early so that we could meet in person and go over the pets needs and routines and anwser any questions related to managing the house. We had dinner together and had an opportunity to get to know a little bit about each other which was great! This made me feel more secure and comfortable, as well as my pets! During my 1 week vacation, we texted every other day or so to check in. The communication was perfect. Everybody was doing well. My pups were adjusting and I was enjoying my vacation without worrying. Gail and Scott could handle all of my 4 ChiChi's easily. Upon returning home, it was not even evident that they were there. Everything was cleaned. They went well above my expectations and washed and changed the bed linens and towels. Also, cleaned the bathrooms and floors. My place looked great! Oh and my dogs were happy to see me :) Gail even left me a nice note. I highly recommend Gail and Scott and I hope every every pet parent has the same wonderful experience with zeewoi.

High School Sweethearts, who love animals and adventures!
We had Cassie and Amiel sit while we were away in Michigan for a week. They are super friendly and laid back, were responsive to all messages, diligent with their communication and questions about the house, and sent us photo updates every day. Our cats seemed very loved and content when we came home and our house was spotless. On top of it all, Cassie offered to swing by the morning before our arrival to check on the cats and feed them their wet food, even though I had ended the sit the night before. Our flight was delayed so I really appreciated Cassie offering that. She went above and beyond. Would highly recommend! We've already booked them again for our next sit in a couple weeks.

Getting my pet fix while seeing the world
Shelly was our first zeewoi, and she was an absolute pleasure to work with! She's a total pro - she was a clear and consistent communicator and clearly understands well what taking care of a house and animals requires. Not only did she exceed our expectations, she also shared some of her tips and expertise with us! We would happily have Shelly watch our dog and stay at our home again. She sent regular photos and kept us fully up to date and we came home to a very well-kept house. Thanks Shelly!
Carole and Ron are excellent cat-sitters! They took very good care of my cat Lola and of my house. I came home to a happy cat and a very clean and tidy house. They sent me pictures of Lola and kept me updated, so that I had a very relaxed holiday. I very highly recommend them as cat- sitters and I would be thrilled if they would come back to sit for Lola again. Thank you so much!
I was fortunate to have Hillary return for a second sit. She took excellent care of both my cat and my home. She got on well with my neighbors and even allowed my friend to come visit Suley while she was there. I especially appreciate how flexible and accommodating she was regarding arrangements for a sitter who would be taking over for the second part of my very long absence. All in all, Hillary is a gem!
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!
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.
Wow, what a find Justin is! I feel as though I won a lottery. As I was revelling in the communication we were having during his stay, I looked over his profile and realized either that he had updated it during his stay OR I never even read it. I was so impressed with his initial application that described multiple stays taking care of cats in Turkey that I knew he was going to be a great choice. So I'm not sure that I even read his profile or reviews. Turned out...he was more than I could have EVER hoped for. Justin is VERY organized and clear with his communication. Just as--or maybe more--important, he is a poster child for what zeewoi can be: more than just an economical way to get a pet sitter or a place to stay. Justin embraces the barter economy and the opportunity it presents to get to know people. Although we only met the day that I turned the house and my 2 cats over to his care, we had delightful communication throughout his stay. He wanted to be sure he was providing the right care to all living and non-living elements of my home as well as just chat beyond what we'd had an opportunity to cover when we were face to face on the handoff day. Bottom line: I'd have Justin back even if I wasn't going anywhere! I've met a friend. And my neighbors did as well! Oh yes, and my two cats were well looked after, the house was in ship shape, and Justin was able to brief the next sitter in person (I'd had to extend my time away and Justin already had another commitment). To say I felt confident leaving my pets and home in Justin's care is an understatement. Justin is a real adventurer and believer in the power of both human and animal connection. Without a doubt, I would recommend him as a sitter...and a friend! Thank you, Justin for a great example of how to wrestle so much more meaning out of zeewoi.
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.
We can not exaggerate the care and love Juliet and Laurent gave to our cat, Piero, during his the last few weeks of life. While we left for our trip thinking he merely had a bladder infection, his symptoms turned for the worse a weeks into their sit and later revealed he had cancer. No one would wish their sitter to need to hospice their cat but Juliet and Laurent showed such compassion for Piero and volunteered to be with him when we made the decision to put him down. It was an emotional time for all of us and we will be forever grateful to our two caring cat and house sitters. We have had many fantastic housesitters through zeewoi but Juliet and Laurent top the list. Their professionalism, constant communication and compassion were exceptional. Should you have the opportunity to have them in your home, do not hesitate to book them, you will have no regrets. We do, however, regret that they had such a short time with Piero and had to experience such a painful event.
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!
Pennee and Bill were the BEST pet sitters and guests ever! I really wanted them to stay forever ! Our cat, Miss Kitty bonded so much to them, that she really wasn’t that happy to see me when I got home .Our cat is a finicky eater and they tried all different types of food and treats for her. They sent me regular photos of miss kitty and I knew everything was great when most of the pics had miss kitty on their lap. Our cat doesn’t take to many people but she immediately fell in love with them. Pennee sent us our mail and prescription meds on a regular basis , and went out of her way to take care of any issues . They fell in love with the neighbors and community and just made our lives so easy . We experienced the Covid 19 virus outbreak quarantine during this time and Pennee and Bill agreed to stay a month longer at our home . They were extremely flexible with their travel plans so that everyone would be safe. Upon our arrival home, we were greeted with a bouquet of flowers , beautiful hanging basket of flowers for outdoors and a beautiful bottle of wine . And our house had never been cleaner ! Bill and Pennee are a pet owners dream couple !I felt extremely lucky to have found such a great petsitter and new friend . We will be visiting each other in the future .
