As always, having Gen at my home with my two kitties was amazing! I think after 5 visits, the cats love her more than me:)! Her communication and care for my cats and home are unparalleled. I can't recommend her enough!

We recently had the pleasure of having Angeline and Desiree housesit and take care of our cats, Tiga and Bud. Throughout their stay, they maintained excellent communication, providing timely updates and sent us the best photos and videos of the kitties! They were great with managing our deliveries too. We returned to an immaculate apartment, and happy, relaxed and well-fed cats. Angeline and Desiree are reliable, friendly, and professional sitters we'd gladly welcome back. If you're searching for the perfect house sitters, look no further than this wonderful mother-daughter duo!

Chelly took excellent care of our two long-haired cats. She was very kind and organized both prior to and during the sit. Chelly sent daily updates of the cats, played and brushed them, and kept our home clean. We’d highly recommend Chelly and welcome her back anytime!

Lynn and Jeff are the very best of zeewoi, my only regret is that we didn’t stay home to spend more time with them. They are kind, open, warm, straightforward people you will want as friends and neighbors; who love life, pets, homes, and new people as much as we do. They did break one rule: they left our house cleaner than they found it! Considering all the dead critter gifts our kitties brought them that was a big effort. I’m so grateful we crossed paths with this wonderful couple.

JIM AND DEBORAH

This listing is for Jim, but he and wife, Deb are a package deal, especially when it comes to horse care. Deb is the horse person. Since they live in my area in the winter, only Jim stayed at my house while Deb stayed at home with their own dogs. She came at feeding times to make sure Jim was "on it" until he got accustomed. All went well. Did have a glitch with my well (it apparently was on its way out) but I was able to coach Jim over the phone on what to do. He was definitely fine with handling stuff like that and didn't get flustered (like me!) Due to a medical emergency on our trip, we had to come home a week early. I was grateful that they were local and I didn't mess up their plans! Hope to have them back in the future if my gang wasn't too much for them!

Janet did a wonderful job taking care of my cat and my home while I was gone for almost a month. She kept me posted regularly and responded quickly to a couple of requests I had to make while traveling. She is flexible and very reliable and I would definitely welcome her back to my home whenever she is available.

Jeff and Kelly were amazing cat sitters for Marshall and Pepper! They sent pictures and commentary every day. My cats are very friendly and they provided lots of laughs for the sitters. I would have them cat sit any time! They also left my home very clean and washed and changed the sheets for us. I recommend them for any sitting jobs!

Dawn was timely, helpful, left my home clean and neat, including washing and replacing all sheets and towels used b6 her. She sent daily pictures of her with my cat. My cat was so happy with Dawn that he has been sleeping on the bed she used instead of with me! Dawn was also very flexible about me returning a day early due to weather. I would use her again.

Kelly was an excellent sitter for us. She communicated well, before the sit and during the sit. When we got home, the dogs and our guinea pig were happy and well. Kelly was dependable and showed up exactly on time. The house was well maintained and clean when we arrived home. We would definitely host Kelly again.

Lea is seriously the best! We lucked out big time with her as our house sitter. She didn't just watch our home; she made it sparkle, and our dog Mezy? Well, he fell head over paws for her!

Mezy's doesn't always warm up to new folks so easily but Lea had this magical charm that had him wagging his tail from day one. She showered him with cuddles and playtime, and we got daily photo updates that were basically cuteness overload.

But Lea didn't stop at being the dog whisperer. Every nook and cranny was squeaky clean, and it felt like we were walking into a Pinterest-worthy home. Our plants thrived under her care too.

Communication was a breeze with Lea. She kept us in the loop about everything and replied to our messages super quickly. It gave us peace of mind knowing she had everything under control.

Lea's not just a house sitter - her friendly, laid-back vibe made everything so easy. We can't thank her enough for taking such great care of Mezy and our home. We're definitely booking her for all our future adventures.

If you want your pets to adore your house sitter and come back to a spotless home, Lea is the one to call. Thanks a million, Lea!

I’m sure most folks say the nicest things about their sitter, but honestly, if there were a “super star” status available then Denise would win the prize as sitter of the year!

From the start, Denise was an excellent communicator.  While we were still in the decision phase, Denise was always available to chat either by FaceTime, telephone or text.  It was so easy to choose Denise; as you can see from her countless 5 star reviews, she truly is the only pet sitter you’d ever need and the one everyone hopes to have.  

Denise came to our house eager to meet us, our pets and the quirks of our house.  Denise has an excellent sense of humor and immediately put us all at ease.  Our pets took to her as if she was a long lost friend (even our finicky Siamese cat was loving on her from the start).  

While we were gone, our dog had a non-emergency health issue come up and just like that Denise was taking her to our vet, and administered the dog’s meds like a champion (Denise is also a nurse BTW).  Additionally, Denise brought our pup to her scheduled groom appointments and even made future appointments for us to make our return home as seamless as possible.

Denise was even above and beyond helpful to our neighbors and they appreciated her giving them access to our refrigerator when theirs broke down on Thanksgiving Eve!  

When we got home we were super impressed by how perfectly immaculate our house was!  Most sitters leave the house clean, but Denise met and may have even exceeded our military standards of clean and orderly.  Seriously, our house felt like we never left it.  Everything was spotless, shinny and clean.  She didn’t miss a beat!!  Our pets were so happy to see us but honestly, I felt like our pup and kitty were disappointed when we walked in the door (I believe they were expecting to see Denise!).  Haha.  

If you are ever fortunate enough to have Denise apply for any of your sits then I can’t recommend her enough.  Seriously, you can stop reviewing applicants and just go with Denise.  She was awesome in every sense of the word and I hope she’ll come back and stay with our pets again.

Stephanie was fantastic! Very organized and left our house sparkling clean. She also sent daily pictures/messages which we loved receiving. She took great care of our dog and our house. One of the best sitters we’ve had!

Brian is awesome - he is simply the best pet sitter and house sitter that we have EVER had and we've had a bunch. He is experienced, thoughtful, respectful, loving, appreciative, helpful, enthusiastic...the list just goes on. Started with our initial call - it was our first sit with zeewoi and he immediately instilled confidence in us in how he talked about his experience and how he saw his role.  In the pre-planning, he had great questions for us and helped us to get organized.  He was thorough through the instructions, came in a day early to make sure he understood everything about our house and our dog and then followed through on everything.  He even drove us to the airport and picked us up on the return.  Along the way we were gone, he sent us pictures and kept us updated - always making us feel good about being away and knowing Jorge and the house were in great hands. We had workers coming to fix a fence while gone and some other activity at the house - he was helpful, available, and willing to do whatever was needed to be done.  He was self-sufficient and when it came time to leave, he had everything organized and cleaned at the house - he left it in better condition than he received it.  We would love to have Brian sit whenever we are away (and in fact will invite him and hope he says yes!) - any one would be lucky to have Brian as their house and pet sitter.

Piper was a wonderful sitter and I would definitely have her come again.  My dog .Winston loved her and was very happy while I was gone.  When I returned home everything was orderly and clean, she changed her bed and washed all the towels.  I totallly recommend Piper to sit at your home.

To this list of attributes I would add flexible, capable, sensitive, extremely good with the dogs even if one of mine is sometimes a little ornery, and just a wonderful person all around.
Because of constantly changing circumstances due to a move and coronavirus, my dogs ended up spending not two weeks but a whole month with John and they were so comfortable and happy.
John helped them in so many ways and coordinated shipping them overseas, he went above and beyond the wildest stretches of what a house sitter entails and did it with a smile and a laugh and reassurances that all would be well. And indeed he was absolutely right - the dogs arrived so well cared for that all my fears of them being traumatized went out the window.
John’s flexibility, and his kindness as well as his impeccable maintenance of my house in my absence all make me recommend him an absolute 10 out of 10.
Thank you John for all your help this summer!!

Ranji was a wonderful pet sitter for my dog Zoe and was very easy to communicate with and kept me informed.  She took wonderful care of our condo and wouldn’t hesitate to have her in my new home in NJ if she wants to check out a new area.

Liz did an amazing job babysitting our home and our pets (3 cats and a dog). Communication with Liz was easy and we felt at ease knowing that everything was being taken care of. Liz took our dog Summer for daily walks and kept her entertained. We got regular photos of our pets which were great.
She even looked after and watered many of our outdoor and indoor plants! She was very tidy and our home was left spotless. If you are looking for a sitter we can't recommend Liz highly enough!

I cannot thank Jenny and Geoff enough for stepping in at the last minute after the original sitter cancelled. They are a great couple, friendly , organised and extremely capable. Also they LOVE animals.  My dog and cat have clearly been given a great deal of care and attention in my absence. 
Jenny kept in touch with notes and lovely photos, Geoff cut my grass and I came home to a spotlessly sparkling house ! Thank you so much! 
Jenny and Geoff are welcome back anytime and I would not hesitate to recommend them as excellent sitters.
