Roger and Cozette
Barossa, Australia
Trustworthy mature animal loving couple to care for your pets and home.
Cozette and Roger were great cat sitters. They were communicative throughout our trip and kept us updated with regular messages and photos. I felt completely comfortable leaving our home and Fergal in their care and Fergal was happy and relaxed when we got home. I would highly recommend Cozette and Roger to anyone looking for a cat sitter. They are the perfect choice for anyone who wants their cat to be well-cared for while they are away.
Facundo
Barossa, Australia
We are an Argentinian couple who love animals traveling the world.
Facu and Manu were superb sitters, we would like to give them six stars! They are a kind, earnest and sensible young couple who will do their very best to look after your home and pets. We were able to meet them in person prior to our 2-month holiday, and we were completely confident to have them looking after our home and dog (shared between them and a neighbour). All our instructions were noted and actioned. They communicated regularly via email regarding our postal mail and general updates. They sent us some delightful photos of our pet. As a final bonus for us, they left us several homemade Argentinian treats! Finally, they left the house spotless (even better than when we left it!) If you have the chance to have Manu and Facu sit for you, grab them.

Had great communication with Peter & Shane, they sent pictures and videos as requested while I was away. Found the house tidy and clean upon my return. Would recommend.

Chris and Alan - Responsible and professional animal lovers
Chris & Alan are excellent House Sitters we were just so lucky to have them stay. Thank you for choosing us! We appreciated that they agreed to spend a night with us before we left for our trip the next morning, consequently we headed off very happy and confident leaving our beautiful fur babies with Chris and Alan. Chris sent lots of photos with a daily update which I love, thanks Chris. We arrived home to very happy excited fur babies and our house was spotless. We would love to have them back and we wish them well with their travels and future house sits.
Mira
Barossa, Australia
Two retired Police Officers ready to care for your property and your pets!
It was lovely to meet Mira and Nigel after months of being in contact by email. We were able to have a good hand over to them before we left for our holiday. Thanks also to them for handing over to our new sitters who arrived for a further two weeks - much appreciated. We will definitely keep in touch and they are welcome to visit us anytime in the future.
Kelly
Barossa, Australia
Tidy, compassionate, animal-loving Registered Nurse
Kelly was a beautiful carer for my girls and looked after them with love and hugs. She sent beautiful updates and photos and keft the house spotless. I would highly recommend Kelly to anyone needing a loving, caring, kind, passionate person to take wonderful care of their pets and home. Thank you Kelly, so appreciate you ❤️
Mark
Barossa, Australia
We are whatever you need. We're caring, kind, clean and tidy.
We have been home a few days and am still overwhelmed about everything Mark and Julie did for us! We went through all that needed to be done the previous day of them staying and had dinner together. We found them to be the most interesting, genuine, kind people, so felt very comfortable leaving. While away we knew they were more than competent and would communicate and do what we would want if a situation arose, which they did! One of our dogs was sick, they took him to our vet, let us know and picked him up the next day. Our Vet informed us they were wonderful and we are very grateful. We have dogs, cats , 2 calves, 2 Ponies, baby lamb still on bottle, chooks and a cocky, all animal area's were clean and tidy, they got a new bale of hay and tied cover over it. It was the most organised it's ever been! We arrived home to an immaculate house, flowers, Pikelets jam and cream. So appreciated as we had the 1 am flight and then two and a half hours drive home! We have 4 cats who are timid but were all inside and as relaxed as I have ever seen and our very attention seeking dog was laying on lounge, head on Mark! I also have to mention Mark cleaned our glass in our fire place which we have tried but never came up sparkling like this! Needless to say we are so appreciative and happy with Mark and Julie, anyone who is lucky enough to get them will be able to relax and enjoy the experience of having this couple! Thank you Mark and Julie, happy travels!
Andrea
Barossa, Australia
Semi-Retired fit and active couple, experienced house-sitters.
This was the first time we had used Zeewoi, and I’ll be honest I did have some apprehensions about strangers not only being in our home but also about looking after our precious dog. However, from our first video call with Andrea & Mark, my husband & I felt at ease with them coming into our home and looking after not only our home & garden, but also our beautiful dog. Andrea & Mark were very considerate of our dog’s cheeky but chilled personality, and I know from the photos we received our dog was more than comfortable with them staying in our home and spoiling her with love and affection. It was a delight to arrive home & find the house spotlessly clean with some treats waiting for us and a very happy puppy dog to great me. I have no hesitation in recommending Andrea & Mark
Noeline
Barossa, Australia
Retired solo Australian female , organised, Energetic, reliable and experienced.
Noeline appeared in the form of an angel & developed such a deep bond with all the animals in such a short span of time, it was truly remarkable. Never have I had such peace of mind while being away on a long-term travel plan. She went over and above the list of tasks .. to the extent of even passing on the baton to our next house sitter with a warm welcome and ensuring the smoothest of transitions. I was kept informed throughout her stay, all the animals were loved dearly, fed exceptionally well, on time, and their well-being was always at the forefront. Thank you for all you’ve done, Noeline.. Was an absolute pleasure and You’re always welcome here.
Lara
Barossa, Australia
Hello we are Brayden and Lara. We are from Australia and love Animals!
This was the second time that Lara & Braydon sat for us (the previous sit was in November 2023) but this time it was for a month rather than a fortnight. All of the things I wrote about them before applied this time around too, only they were even better. For starters, they did a lot more around the house and garden including cleaning, planting and mowing. Unfortunately Lara had covid for a week early on, but Brayden still took the dogs out daily for walks. Then towards the end of the sit they came down in the morning and found one of our dogs (Iolo) seriously ill due to suspected poisoning. They immediately drove him to our local vet and phoned us on the way, and very efficiently dealt with the vet including taking Iolo to an emergency overnight veterinary practice some distance away and collecting him early the following morning, and paying the emergency vet's bills (for which we reimbursed them of course). Once Iolo was back home they administered medicine for the rest of the week, looked after him and kept notes of everything for us. We cannot thank them enough - their prompt actions almost certainly saved Iolo's life. We would have no hesitation in recommending Lara and Brayden and would love it if they could sit for us again in the future.
Reviews from Dog Owners
Jeff
My dog had a medical emergency while in John’s care and I credit him with saving my pup’s life. You couldn’t ask for a better sitter in a pressure situation. He also communicated regularly during the stay, keeping me posted on how my pup was doing. Would recommend John to anyone who needs a sitter they can trust.
Christina
Maryna was an excellent pet sitter and houseguest! Communicating with her was easy, and she always responded to my messages quickly. She was also incredibly self-sufficient! Moreover, Maryna graciously agreed to check on my neighbor's cat for a couple of days as well. My dog bonded with her quickly and was happy and healthy when I returned. The house was also spotless. I would happily have Maryna sit for me again!
Michael & Ashleigh
From her promptness to schedule a pre-sit call to her truly thorough tidying of our house, Stella was an amazing housesitter from start to finish!! She read all the info we put together ahead of time, and asked for clarification on just a few things which made us confident that the pup and the house were in good shape :) Stella was really gracious when we admitted to not having a coffee pot, and handling things calmly when there was an incident with street parking. Maybe most importantly though our dog Luke was calm when we came home. I think if future sitters are clear in their expectations around frequency of communication/photos and the dogs needs then Stella is the perfect person to exceed your expectations!
Joelle
Theresa is a reliable and experienced pet sitter in addition to being great at keeping house! She was very accommodating in meeting me & the dogs in advance of our sit, which proved she is a true pet person: attentive to my dogs and eager to know how they should be cared for. She kept me posted while I was away & I returned to a tidy home & happy dogs! I highly recommend her!!
Barbara
This is our second time welcoming Michele and we were so happy to have her back! Our dogs Pedro and Samantha love her and it is clear she loves them! Our house was immaculate upon our return and Michele made her famous lemon chicken recipe which we gobbled up and then we asked for the recipe. We can't say enough great things about her and hope you are lucky enough to get her as a sitter for your pets.
Leslie
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.

If we could give 10 out of 5 stars for Candace, Brian, and Chris, we would! They were amazing house and dog sitters for Brown Dog and Scout. They were so accommodating with our timeline and had read our welcome guide to a tee! It was so reassuring being gone for 2 weeks and knowing our pups were in amazing hands. They sent us daily updates and pictures and it was clear the dogs were so well cared for! They left the house very clean and even had all of our bedding and towels washed for us when we arrived home. Would absolutely recommend them for a sit and would love to have them back again any time!
Sally & Andy
Lori is the best of the best! I would recommend her 100 times over! Lori is great at communicating and our dogs were extremely happy. She was very attuned to our dog’s anxiety and did a great job making the dogs feel safe and loved. The house was spotless when we returned. Lori also had the job of taking care of my numerous plants. I have to say the plants look better when I got home than they did before I left😂 Lori has a green thumb. Lori is so kind and just a wonderful person. Rest assured if you choose her as your sitter your dog and home are in the best hands. Thank you again, Lori! Blessings!
Meredith
Anita and Rom were the best house sitters I could have asked for. From the moment I met them, I could tell that they genuinely care for animals. They communicated with me very clearly both before and during their visit, asking all the right questions to make sure everything went well. They connected with my older dog right away - he bonded with Anita even during our first brief visit before their stay began. I was comfortable with the way they took good care of his health issues. They sent regular photos and updates on how my dog was doing, which I appreciated. Throughout the visit, they went above and beyond to ensure that my dog was comfortable and loved. Anita and Rom were trustworthy, reliable, and compassionate. Since I'm newer to having house sitters, they even gave some great suggestions to help it go smoothly for all of us. I hope that I have the good fortune to work with them again.
Cynthia
If you need a sitter don’t hesitate to pick Vanessa, I highly recommend her. She cared for our fur baby for two weeks and received the care and attention she needed. We came back to a very happy pup and clean home which is awesome after coming back from a long trip. I received texts and pictures of our dog while we were gone which gave us peace of mind. You could tell right from the start that she genuinely loves animals and will care for them as if they are hers. I will continue to use her as my pet sitter if she’s available. All I can say is she is a wonderful person!!
