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.

Home is where the cat is!
It is always a pleasure to invite Rebecca and Bob to house sit. They are responsible and provide excellent care for our cats and home . They have sat many times for us, and we will continue to invite them to do so.

Loving and adventurous pet sitter
Gina surpassed our expectations and I can't recommend her highly enough. She cared for our house and dog for a month. When he had a torn paw, she researched how to treat it and applied the proper medicines and a cone, soaked the paw etc. and our dog recovered, which saved us literally hundreds of dollars in vets fees. Gina communicated very well with us while we were away. We trusted her and our dog really liked her. Gina also took great care of our house and large garden.

You will Love Me As Your Next House and Pet Sitter!!
Kevin is easy to communicate with, flexible, reliable, and tidy. We came home to a happy and contented cat, and a clean house. During the sit, Kevin sent us photos and updates about our kitty as we requested. We'd be happy to have him back!

Jessica and Rick just did a 2 week house sit for us. Jessica was very conscientious in the care of our cat and our home. Communication with Jessica was great, including the re-scheduling of our dates of travel and arrangements. Our house actually looked better when we returned than when we left it. I really appreciate coming home to clean house after an adventurous trip. I also received a good number of fun photos of our pets, which is always reassuring. I would highly recommend Jessica and Rick for future housesitting assignments.

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!
"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.
Hilary was a fantastic pet sitter for our cat - you would be so lucky to have her care for your pet and home. She took exceptional care of her and our home. Hilary played so much with her and took the best care. She was communicative, easy to coordinate with, and left everything super clean for us when we came back. Five stars is understating how extraordinary she was - we cannot recommend her enough!!
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
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!
Kathryn was a wonderful sitter for Princessa! She was flexible and communicative and took great care of my cat and home.
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.
Paige, David, and family were WONDERFUL sitters for my crew! They were so pleasant and personable, and the pets warmed up to them very quickly. Even my rescue cat who tends to stray away from men loved David. I received regular updates and communication (before and during the sit). I truly did not have any concerns while I was away knowing that everyone had such great care and attention given to them. (I know the dogs had a good time because when I came home there was no commotion over my return.) I was away on NYE and Paige had no issues keeping an eye on one of the dogs who has anxiety surrounding loud noises. The family cleaned up after themselves and may have left the house cleaner than when I left! Truly such a great family who I would welcome back any time!
My husband and I reached out to Toby & Chloe after reading their profile and impressive reviews only a week before our trip, since our scheduled sitter had to cancel at the last moment. They were very friendly and quick to respond to chat from the very beginning, and ended up exceeding our expectations during their two week stay. It was evident they had thoroughly read our Welcome Guide beforehand, as they arrived knowledgeable and prepared to care for our home and pets. They were very willing and happy to take the necessary time with us to walk through the house and meet our cats, as we got them acclimated with our daily routines and answered any questions. Shortly after we left, our city had a heat wave come through, and after immediately notifying us, Toby went beyond the call of duty and inspected our struggling AC unit to pinpoint the issue. As far as cat care is concerned, we have two seniors (who have more sensitive tummies) that can get irritated after a fur ball or swallowing anything out of the ordinary. When this occurred, Toby & Chloe stepped in and took wonderful care of our cat duo; softening their food and even cradling while hand-feeding them for extra comfort. We truly could not have asked for more affectionate and responsible sitters. We returned to a spotlessly clean home, happy cats, and well maintained plants and pool. (They even cleaned our dusty Kitchen pendant lighting, which requires a steady hand and is definitely a time-commitment …We felt like professional housecleaners had been there!) On our way back, Toby & Chloe stayed in communication with us to monitor our arrival time, allowing them to care for our cats until just before we got home. Overall, they are very reliable and trustworthy sitters whose genuine goal is to provide a top-quality sit, while maintaining your household and seamlessly transitioning to your pets daily schedule.
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.
Cat and Paul were wonderful sitters - our cats were contented and calm when we returned. And the house was spotless. Plus Paul mowed our entire yard including the back meadow - what a surprise! We very much enjoyed visiting with them as well and getting to know them. Highly recommend :)
