John was communicative and great to work with right away and continued to be so throughout the stay. He took good care of my pups and house and everything was clean and the dogs were happy when I got back. I hope John is able to watch them again in the future.

Having Den and Annie stay with Thor, Tulsi, Garnet and Moonshadow was the best peace of mind I could have asked for. Not only was I able to focus on my work I had the ability to sleep while I was away without the worry that the fur-kids were having a challenge with me being gone. Den is an excellent communicator, provided photos and great commentary of the events on a daily basis. He is clean, organized and I came back to my home in perfect order! The fur-kids were happy and Tulsi did not display any signs of separation anxiety!! What an amazing sit! Annie is sweet and well mannered. She gets along with all fur friends without any challenges. I can’t express my appreciation to Den and Annie for providing the companionship that the gang needed while I was away on work. Den and Annie are welcome back to our place anytime. Our door is open and the fur kids welcome you both with open paws!

Dave and Kathleen are fantastic sitters. We thoroughly enjoyed getting to know them during their stay. They took wonderful care of our pets, ensuring the dogs were walked and everyone got lots of love every day. They took great care of our house and hot tub and left the house in spectacular condition. We cannot thank them enough for staying with us and we would not hesitate having them come back for another visit.

Richie was a great house/pet sitter. We communicated well before his sit and he arrived right on time. My dog, Snickers, took to Richie immediately and didn't even bark when he showed up at our gate. Usually she alerts me to people arriving at the house but she let Richie right in. He sent photos and updates while I was gone. Easy pet sit!

Nicholas was a wonderful pet sitter for our 3 cats - Tigger, Keiko and Sassy! He sent photos each night and a summary of the day's events. Our cats bonded with Nicholas, and we came home to stress free cats! The house was clean, he even stripped the bed and put the towels and bedding in basket! I would definitely call on him again to sit for our cats! Thank you, Nicholas!

If you are fortunate enough to have Nan and Sandy as your sitters, you will be able to fully exhale and relax on your trip. They are extremely organized, wholehearted, reliable, and thoroughly experienced. The moment they entered our home for a walk-through, our senior cat Poseidon instantly felt comfortable. They were wonderful about sending daily pictures, often with a dash of humor, and they even created a new cat toy for him, which continues to be a wild success. Our home was also just as clean as when we had left, which is of course a huge bonus. I hope we’ll be able to book them again in the future.

This was the only difficult sit we have had in several years and 17 different sitters with TH. It was originally planned for 6 weeks and we always meet our sitters for an orientation and to get a "vibe". She could not meet us ahead of time. However, since she had a five star rating, we took a risk and left without waiting for her arrival which was much later than expected. By the end of the first week we were frustrated with her irregular and snarky communications. (She was often too "ill" or "tired" to give us updates on our aged kitty.) At one point we were afraid she might need medical attention since we were unable to reach her for almost 24 hours so we asked a neighbor to check on her which she found very upsetting. Later, when the neighbors complained that a man who appeared to be living out of his car was parking at different places in our neighborhood and going to our home to stay the night we'd had enough. Since we were 2000 miles away, we contacted TH and our neighbors for help and ultimately told her to leave. After our neighbors escorted her off the property we discovered the kitty box was overflowing and his fresh water dish was empty. Our closed off master bedroom was being used as a storage facility for her/their personal items. To her credit however, she did take the time to vacuum and straighten while the neighbors waited to ensure a smooth exit. A neighbor immediately changed the locks and the garage door code. A troubling experience.

David and Elynn were fabulous pet sitters and house sitters. Our dog and rabbit were well-taken care of, the house was left even cleaner than when they arrived! I would highly recommend David and Elynn, and would happily have them again!

David and Elynn took excellent care of our dog Cosmo and our rabbit Oreo. They made sure they were happy, well-fed, and got exercise and fresh air! We were very happy to receive several photos of our furry friends while we were away.

They took amazing care of the house and yard, and were very open with communication. If they were uncertain of anything or had a question, they were very open about reaching out!

David and Ellyn were wonderful houseguests, who left the house even cleaner than they found it!

I would highly recommend David and Elynn and their two adorable children. They are wonderful, respectful people who definitely love animals and will give your pets and home lots of care! Thank you!! :)

Sue and Richard were greeted enthusiastically by the dogs ! They sent me pics of the dogs having a good time on the beach . Which is always reassuring. I can recommend them as dog sitters and they arrived on time and were packed up when I got back

Cindy was great, couldn’t have asked for a better sitter experience! Communication was great both before and during the sit. Cindy was really helpful and flexible with arrival and departure arrangements. I came back to a happy dog and a well cared for house, can thoroughly recommend 🙂

I don’t think we could’ve picked a better sitter than Joe! This was our first time using this website/app, and I can only hope that all of our future sitters will be amazing as he was! 

He was kind, respectful, attentive, extremely clean, (seriously I think our house was cleaner than when we left for vacation), and took such amazing care of our two dogs! 
He arrived early on the day of our departure so he could meet our dogs and get a detailed run down of their routine. Both of our dogs warmed up to him immediately! :)

One of our pups sometimes has the tendency to be reactive towards other dogs on leash. He handled him so effortlessly and with such compassion, it really put any worries I might’ve had aside. 

While we were away he sent little updates and pictures of the adventures they went on: farmers markets, car rides, long walks, and lots of pets and cuddles. After he left both of our dogs sat out side his room and just looked so sad that their new friend Joe had gone away. 

I honestly can’t recommend Joe enough! If you are looking for someone, your search should end here!

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.

This was our first experience with TH and we are very pleased. From the moment Rose arrived we knew she was the right sitter for our “kids”. Communication while we were away was great with pics of the dogs as well as text messages. Rose cared for our home and our “kids” with great care, she is very conscientious of your space. Extremely pleased with the care she provided to our “kids” and our home. We have another trip planned in a couple of weeks and are happy Rose will be staying in our home again. I highly recommend Rose as a sitter!

First things first, Linda is awesome! If she applies for one of your sits, you have to accept! 

This was our first time using zeewoi and is also the first time we have left our dog since we got him. Obviously, we were nervous at the beginning, but Linda removed all aspects of that. She is honestly one of the nicest, kindest, most polite people you will meet. From our first initial meeting, we knew that she was the sitter for us, and for Archie. 

The day that we left, Archie let out a little cry as we said goodbye. This was the first time he had done this (it broke our heart), but we knew he was in great hands! 

Throughout the week, Linda was extremely communicative. She would send us daily updates, share videos of their walks together, and send pictures of the two of them having fun. She spoiled Archie with love, attention, and a couple of new toys! When we returned, the house was in the exact same condition as we had left it, and was very clean and tidy.  

When Linda left, Archie ran to the door, started to cry, and sat/laid there for some time - And we think that this alone is a great reflection of the kind of person that Linda is. 

Linda – It was an absolute pleasure to host you in our home, thank you for everything that you did for us and Archie, and for making our first experience a positive and memorable one. Archie misses you! We hope you get the chance to do it again for us in the future.

Stephanie, Brian and baby Martin took fabulous care of our home and pets for two weeks. 

From the outset, communication was quick, smooth and friendly and it was clear that both Stephanie and Brian are reliable, professional and warm sitters who take all the various elements of a sit seriously.

They kept us up to date with photos and messages, dealt proactively and competently with any unexpected issues that popped up, and most importantly showered our dogs and gerbils with attention and care throughout the time we were away. We returned to a spotlessly clean home (with thoughtful touches of fresh milk, bacon and bread waiting for us) and happy, settled pets. 

In short, we would recommend Stephanie and Brian to anyone looking for reliable, attentive and proactive sitters for their pets and home. We would be delighted to welcome them back for another sit, should they ever find themselves in the area again.

Alia is awesome and we have used her several times.  She is a 5 star rated sitter every time.  The dogs are happy and the house is perfect when we get home.  She even cooked dinner for our arrival home because we came home late.  Highly recommend Alia!!

You could not ask for better house and pet sitters than Ken and Jane! 

Before the sit: Communicating with Ken and Jane prior to our scheduled week went smoothly. They were proactive about planning. They came out to the house prior to the sit and spent a couple of hours going over things about the house, meeting the pets, and getting familiar and comfortable with everything. They were delightful people to meet; I was wishing for a couple of days to just hang out and play tourist with them!

During the sit: Ken and Jane sent me daily updates and photos of their outings with my pups and with their interactions with my kitties. I appreciated how they chose the sit partly because of their love of exploring rural areas, because that's what I have here! They were perfectly suited to my home and pets. Ken absolutely loves cats and is an intuitive and experienced kitty-handler. Jane really bonded with one of my kitties; both of them made great progress with all three of my cats, each of which is pretty shy at first, and one can be a real problem child. They worked very hard to give love to each pet and ensure that each felt calm, happy, and cared for. They spend tons of time outdoors with my border collie/retrievers. The dogs had daily "spa time" after walks and outdoor playtime, having their long fur brushed on my front porch (which the dogs love!). They sent me happy photos every day. If anything came up, they just handled it. They really seemed to enjoy their adventures and the pets each day, which made my time away that much more enjoyable.

After the sit: I was thankful to have some time with Ken and Jane when I returned from my trip. All the pets were calm, happy, and healthy when I got home. Ken and Jane had left me a detailed note about that last day to make re-entry easy. They sweetly left a thank you note and a bottle of wine on the kitchen table also (a very sweet and unexpected surprise!). They seemed quite sad to leave my "kids;" Jane left with tears in her eyes, saying goodbye to my dogs. We've kept in touch since the sit. My whole house really misses them. Oh, and the house was immaculate and plants all watered (inside and out) when I got home! 

If you're looking for kind, competent, caring, organized and responsible people to care for your home and pets, invite Ken and Jane!
