Providing Pet Sitting in the Ylojarvi, Finland
Hampshire ahoy! We're a small, outdoorsy, reliable Scottish-Finnish family.
This is the second time Raisa, Stewart and Elsie have sat for us and they were the perfect sitters, again. We were unable to depart for our holiday due to a family member being hospitalised and the McNabs were both helpful, kind and very accommodating. They spent the first half of the sit living in our house with us and only got 5 days to themselves. We had to make twice daily trips to the hospital and Raisa made it her duty to take care of Rhum so we were free to spend as much time as necessary in the hospital. We will be forever grateful for such a kind and sympathetic response from the whole family. Once we were able to get away the Mcnabs looked after our house and dog with love and care. We returned home to a very clean house and a well exercised and loved dog. THANK YOU

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Jenna and Mike! My cats are typically easygoing, but this time there were some unexpected complications with Baloo. Jenna handled everything exceptionally well, even when, in the end, he needed a visit to the vet. Despite the 9-hour time difference, she kept me updated at all times and was incredibly proactive. Both Jenna and Mike were super communicative, friendly, and organized. They sent us daily photos, videos, and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. Baloo and Baghee seemed happy and comfortable—especially Baghee, who now loves Jenna like her second mom! When we returned home, everything was spotless, which was such a relief after a long 24-hour flight. I couldn't have asked for better pet sitters!

Iiris&Tapani are travelling in their motorhome and would love to pet & home sit.
Iiris and Tapani were wonderful, loving to the animals and very nice to us, also very patient (our departure was postponed by a few days). We had a lovely time and they took very good care of our animals in our absence. They also coped well with our rather complicated situation regarding water / electricity. If they would come again, we would be very happy.

Extremely Reliable and Clean Pet Sitter from Finland
Minna looked after our dog Yoshka between Christmas and NYE. She made an extra effort to come visit us before her stay. There were lots of fireworks during that time, which meant that Yoshka needed extra attention. Minna was a caring companion to him. We got frequent updates and found a very happy dog when we returned home. Thank you so much, Minna!

Trustworthy freelance journalist & online teacher looking for a place in the sun
I couldn't have asked for a better petsitter than Maria, aka Maikku! She was absolutely wonderful with my furry family. Maikku is a true animal lover who clearly cares deeply about the animals she cares for. She took excellent care of my petgang, all former strays, and made them feel safe and loved. Not only was Maikku incredibly reliable and trustworthy, but she was also a good communicator and has informed me daily during my absence, sent photos and short reports, which were such a pleasure to read. She kept my home spotless, ensuring that my pets had a comfortable environment. Maikku took over my petgang for two weeks in September and has become part of our family. We hope that it was not the last time we meet. I highly recommend Maikku to anyone looking for a compassionate and reliable petsitter.

Qualified cat and dog training and behavior professional who loves animals
We love Susan and our cat loved Susan! Communication was excellent pre, during and post the 3 week sit. Susan is very organised, very clean and tidy and clearly loves animals. She looked after our home and pet really well and our cat bonded so well with her - in fact he was better behaved for Susan than he is for us! We highly recommend Susan for house and pet sitting and we will definitely be using her again.
"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!!
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 never met Joi because due to her work, she arrived after I left and was gone before I returned home. This wasn't a problem at all. She was very self-sufficient and seemed to find all that she needed in my house. The house looked exactly like I left it and my cat seemed very content when I returned. Apparently they had a nightly routine of Luna getting brushed. Joi is a very experienced sitter and it shows.
Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!
Kristi was an absolutely incredible sitter -- I think our favorite one ever! She was easy to communicate with, kind and personable, and took great care of our pets and our house. It was the first time we had left both our dog and our cat with a TH sitter and Kristi went above and beyond. She was very self-sufficient but provided fun updates and pictures and our pets loved her. Highly recommend!
Best house and pet sitters we've ever had! They definitely gave our cat and dog plenty of love and attention.
Brian is a very professional sitter that does a good job, pays attention to details and is easy to work with. I have a lot of plants. A lot. He suggested me do a video for the plant care so he could be sure of which ones needed what. Brilliant! I’d never thought of that. They were in great shape when I returned. I explained that I needed some flexibility with travel dates, he agreed and rolled with the punches like a champ when my dates did indeed change. Unfortunately, he was a bit allergic to my cat but made it work anyway. He was really awesome about everything including a tree that fell next door in a storm and blocked the road for three days. I appreciate that he appreciated how funny and how much personality Boo has. They got along well and I received some great videos. I returned home to a happy cat and a house well taken care of 😊. I would definitely recommend Brian.
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!
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.
