Family of Four
Caleb, Hannah, Lynn and Luke sat for us for 3 weeks or so looking after our house, our dog and two cats. They were excellent sitters. Very flexible, when our plans changed at short notice, very self sufficient, and all were very caring to Lola, Leo and Buzz. Lola got a lot of exercise and the cats were very well looked after. Not only did both cats require medication every day, but Leo developed a medical problem that required consultation with the vet. Caleb handled the issue very well indeed. Highly recommended as sitters. Thank you Caleb and Hannah.

In love with three things: travel, digital media, and cats (not in that order)
Brianna and Aaron were wonderful. Their knowledge of /passion for cats is impressive and the warmth & caring they expressed toward our two elderly cats was deeply appreciated. They even brought a feeding system with them for us to try as a possible solution to the problem we have of one of our cats being a grazer and walking away from her food while the other cat hovers nearby, waiting to gobble it down. We really enjoyed having them stay and hope there will be an opportunity for them to sit for us again in the future.

5+ Decades of Caring and Kind Animal Care - from Buffalo to Guinea Pigs
Kelly was fantastic! Flyer, our incredible Golden Retriever, loved her. Kelly went above and beyond in not only exceptional care for Flyer, but also in the care of our home. It was hot that week. She kept the plants alive and well by watering frequently. When our refrigerator annoyingly decided to have its ice-maker breakdown, she didn't panic. She called us and got a neighbor to come over per our request. They shut down the ice-maker and she didn't complain. The house was spic and span when we returned. We would recommend her wholeheartedly!

Pet lover, travel junky, living my best life :-)
Stacey was great! It was very easy to coordinate the sit and she was very accommodating when we had some adjustments to our original plans. She took great care of the dogs and the house! We enjoyed the photo updates she provided during her sit and it was clear that the dogs really loved her! We’d be thrilled to have her back anytime!

Responsible, loving, conscious care of your companions so they have a great expe
Everything from the first phone call to the final follow up with Kalki couldn't have been better. She is experienced, kind, honest, reliable, and extremely thorough. She was very flexible on arrival and departure times. She kept us updated throughout her stay and even gave us follow-up times with our dogs. They connected to her very quickly. We hope to have her stay again.

Feel safe and secure with me as your pet sitter.
We loved having Andrea stay with our dogs and hope we can get her back for future trips. The house was clean with all the laundry done. Her communication is great - we got daily updates with photos. Most importantly, the dogs loved her - she was attentive, patient and chill. We highly recommend Andrea.

Trustworthy, tidy, and organized. Travel enthusiast. Pet loving.
What can I say? Ruth was a lovely woman and we had no problems at all. She was clean, tidy, loved the dogs and kept us up to date when required. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to have dog sat for us. The dogs loved her and we think missed her when we got home. Ruth left the house immaculate and even made us some food and made our bed! I would highly recommend Ruth and if she ever wanted to dog sit again she would be more than welcome.

Ruth & Fred Casey, adventurers & animal lovers, seek new travel experiences.
It was a joy to have Ruth here to take care of Grace. I felt very comfortable that my cat was well cared for as well as my home. I appreciate that Ruth came the night before so we could enjoy a dinner and get to know each other. I overcooked the pizza, and she was very gracious. When I got home, the house was perfect, the beds remade with clean sheets, and the house in perfect order. I highly recommend Ruth and Fred and I hope they will come back again soon.
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!!
Pares is an experienced and quality sitter and we knew our cat Juniper (and a few plants) was well cared for. We received regular updates and photos which was really nice to have during our travels. While we missed Juniper, we could see that she enjoyed receiving cuddles and attention from Pares. Upon returning home, our flat was clean and tidy, and Juniper was very happy! Thank you for taking care of her!
. We were absolutely delighted with the care Summer provided for our cats. Without a doubt, she is the best cat sitter we have ever had the pleasure of working with. Her attentiveness and genuine affection for our cats were evident in every interaction. Throughout our holidays, she kept us constantly updated with daily pictures and detailed updates, which gave us immense peace of mind. Additionally, she maintained our house in immaculate condition, keeping everything clean and tidy. This level of consideration and dedication went above and beyond our expectations, and we deeply appreciated her efforts. Summer’s exceptional service made our holiday experience truly worry-free and enjoyable.
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!
Kerry and Megan were wonderful sitters and took great care of our two cats while we were on vacation for two weeks. They were responsive, gave us regular updates, and seemed to really care about Tumba and Cappa. When Tumba was more timid toward the beginning of our trip and not eating her meals fully, Kerry was sure to ask for additional suggestions from us on how to coax her to eat more. Kerry and Megan also left the house just as we'd left it for them. We really appreciated them going the extra mile to ask about additional cleaning products so they could clean our bathrooms. It felt great to come home and just relax without needing to remake the bed. Thanks for everything, Kerry and Megan! We would certainly entrust our home and kitties to you again in the future.
Best house and pet sitters we've ever had! They definitely gave our cat and dog plenty of love and attention.
Someone was smiling down on us when Kevin and Mary clicked on our very first House Sitter advert. They are straightforward, pleasant, reliable and fun. They kept in touch about their own plans when their flights were delayed. They tactfully left the house when our own cancelled flights meant we were staying a few hours longer than first planned. They sent just the right amount of photos, videos and texts of our cat while we were away! We all loved that. And on our return, oh my word, the house fairies had been to visit! They somehow managed to walk the perfect line between improving everything, without interfering at all. Clean, tidy, replenished. They asked what food we’d like on our return and boy did they deliver! Home made bean stew :-) and different things for the children. Really kind and generous. Communication was clear and also witty..! They dealt with the churn of small mammals our “somewhat independent” cat brought through the flap without complaint. They are a really nice couple, exuding a lovely American warmth and charm. It was a real pleasure, Kevin and Mary, thank you.
Quinn was an amazing sitter for my cat Moon! She regularly checked in with updates on moon while we were away on a two week vacation, and seemed to give her plenty of attention, play with her, etc. Communication was easy and she left our apartment spotless after departing. Highly recommend her as a pet sitter!
Nathalie and John were great! They were great house sitters to watch our two dogs, 2 geckos, our old cat and bull frog. Their two girls took good care of the animals as well. The house was exactly how we left it. We really appreciated their help!
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.
