Compassionate animal lover who will love your pets and care for your home
Johnna was great at taking care of my kitties and sent me updates and pictures every day which really helped me enjoy my holiday. I came back to a clean home and relaxed kitties. I would be happy to have Johnna house sit for me again.

Plant & Animal love is our game, house sitters extraordinaire is our name.
I don’t have words for Monika’s sit at my home!! So I’ll ramble a bit.. Monika is the most thoughtful human in the universe. She completely vibed with my doggo and took her to a chillax concert in the park and to visit her dad. Of course she checked in first to see that Aris would be ok in the car and at the event, and I got to see pics. It was kind of like seeing pics of your kids at summer camp having the times of their life and NOT missing mom! Heart warming to say the least. Monika and Aris spent hours in the yard soaking in the sun and hanging out- I got videos and pics all along the way which I LOVED. I also received so many pics of the cats…I could see that Simba approved immediately of the new human, and I was so happy to see Zazu warmed up pretty fast too. (Zazu is a weirdo but he knows good people- Monika is good people). I also cannot believe Monika’s attention to my yard and garden. I mean ..I knew she had the interest and experience, and I gave her free reign because I definitely have a jungle to work with…but I was pleasantly surprised a few times with little videos of things she recommended to make certain plants or trees grow better and reports on bits of trimming she did. It was my first year with a veggie garden- so I learned a few things there too. I got a redecorated set of window boxes in my pool shed, a new wreath for the fall, and a bouquet from my garden when I returned home - all stuff from mu jungle yard - who knew my jungle could become so beautiful♥️ Overall, 5 stars is not enough and I would be more than happy to have Monika back. Aris, Zazu and Simba all thank you for a wonderful week Monika!! PS I already gave that baby blue more sun... I want her to grow faster too!

A Dependable Mother & Daughter Duo
Wonderful petsitters, Buddy felt comfortable with Rachel and Rosemary almost from day 1 (which is quite good for him!) Thank you both!!

Organized, clean, loving, mature Canadian couple
Tzabia and Barry were excellent pet/ house sitters. They are very experienced at this and it definitely shows. Their communication was great, and kept us abreast on how our Kobi was doing. Tzabia and Barry are avid hikers and explorers so Kobi got plenty of exercise, which he loves, and he obviously got the same attention when he was relaxing at home. The true test of a house sitter is when your pet misses his )or her) sitters when they leave, and Kobi did miss them. Our house was well taken care of, and Tzabia is a gardener, so our gardens looked great when we returned as well. We would definitely recommend Tzabia and Barry as House / Pet Sitters.

Responsible and experienced sitter who LOVES cats (and had all her shots)!
An exceptional sitter. We continue to invite her to sit for us whenever the itch to travel hits us, which is often! One of our cats (Penny) is so fond of her, we found her asleep on the bed Marie uses when she stays.

Artist and Animal Lover Seeks Pet to Shower with Affection
Daren was my first male housesitter and I was pleasantly surprised. In the past, I only picked women because I could trust their standards of cleanliness would mesh with mine. Daren left my condo looking great and did the laundry before he left. His communication was great and the cats were very happy. He even kept all my balcony plants alive during a record-breaking heatwave! (No easy feat.) I recommend him highly.

Experienced, clean, responsible animal lovers. We enjoy long walks and coffee.
We were absolutely thrilled to have Caroline and Guiseppe staying in our house. They were absolutely wonderful in every way.

Aussie Nomad Pet Sitter Exploring the World, Four Paws at a Time!
This was our third sit with Beth. She is an excellent sitter. She is fantastic with our cat and leaves our apartment spotless. We knew that even though we were going to be mostly out of touch, that we could completely rely on her. Don't hesitate to have Beth sit for you.

Pet loving nomadic couple
Mikhal and Nitzan were wonderful!! They made our 5 week vacation a breeze, as well as our transition home after being away for such a long period of time. From the start (video call), we could tell that Mikhal and Nitzan had a love of cats and would take great care of Ugi. Not to mention all the amazing 5 star reviews they already had on zeewoi. On the day of our departure they came a few hours early for a tour of the apartment and we had a chance to enjoy their company over lunch. They always asked great questions about Ugi and the apartment. During our vacation, communication was easy and we could tell that Ugi was well taken care of and having a great time from the photos and videos we received. They even brought some of their own toys for Ugi to enjoy. Plus, anything relevant that came up during the trip Mikhal messaged us about so we were in the loop. Upon returning home, Mikhal and Nitzan waited for our flight to land before they left to ensure we returned to the country on time so that Ugi would have continuous care. We arrived to a clean home and a happy cat who was her usual self (it didn't seem like we had ever been away). Would definitely have Mikhal and Nitzan stay at our home again :) I'm certain that Ugi would instantly remember them :)

Semi-retired teacher/writer, experienced sitter w/excellent references, non-smok
First and foremost it is all about our cat and Sherel took wonderful care of our 20 year old calico. We felt so comfortable and reassured knowing she has great experience but mostly a real love of animals and obvious connection with them. If you are going away and want to feel totally confident that your pet is being well cared for then do not hesitate to bring Sherel into your home !
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!! :)
Denise was by far the best pet sitter we have ever had! She watched our two pups while we were gone for 3 weeks and took amazing care of our dogs and home. She took the time to ask questions and make sure she understood each dog’s needs as well as how to take the best care of our house before we left. She sent videos everyday updating us on how the pups were doing. We were so happy to see how much quality time she was spending with them and how much they loved her. Our dogs were so sad to see her leave and we can’t wait to have her back. Denise made sure that the house was in perfect condition when she left and treated our home as if it were her own. If you are looking for a pet sitter, look no further. Highly recommend Denise!
Sharon was an excellent sitter who I knew was taking great care of my two dogs while away. She walked them, was a clean guest, and sent regular pictures and updates. I’d recommend her to anyone.
We had the pleasure of having Maggie (for the second time) to take care of our home and beloved dog Frida while we were away for 2 weeks. We couldn’t be happier! Neither could Frida! Our big dog is sometimes a bit stubborn and Maggie managed amazingly. We had daily photos and video, and Frida was clearly very happy, comfortable and very well looked after. We highly recommend Maggie to anyone in need of trustworthy and dedicated house sitter and animal lover
Angela Gandolfo and Erica Piazza came to stay at our house while we were away on vacation for two weeks. Our two dogs are a handful, but these two lovely women took such good care of them. They spoiled them even more than we do, which is perfect. We got photos every day, and when we came home our house was tidy and there were clean sheets on the bed. I couldn't have asked for better house and pet sitters than these two women. They communicated well with us, and if they had questions, they asked. It was a pleasure to work with both Angela and Erica. We had to cut our vacation short because of a death in the family. It was really stressful, but once again, Angela and Erica were flexible and understanding. It made a difficult time easier, knowing that things at home were being managed so well. I'm hoping that if we ever have to go away again for such a long time, I will be able to get these two back here again! (hint hint) Thank you, Angela and Erica!
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!
Cyndi was fabulous. I'd describe her as the no fuss no muss dog sitter. While some dog sitters need guidance on every little detail, Cyndi was completely self-sufficient. She left the home in perfect shape and totally adored my pup. I'd gladly welcome her back anytime!
Joe arrived some days before I left, so I could show him some nice places in Switzerland and he had enough of time to learn all about the dogs and how to handle them. He is an amazing nice and an animal/natur loving person who took care of my dog with incredible affection when I was in vacation. I could really enjoy it, because I knew, everything is ok at home. He sent me picutres and I could see, how much fun they have together. He cooked for the dogs, mad a lot of nice hikes with them and huged them, when they need it - so he even got the trust from Artu (as a man really not easy). And not only that, he made woodruff punch for me and sowed my tomatoes and spoiled them with melt water. And he helped also the women which looked after the horses and helped her to going walk with them. Generelly he is super friendly, so everyone in the village likes him. He is considerate of your belongings and has handed the house back neatly. He is just the best. I'm so gratuful he was here. So, if you have a chance to get him as a sitter, take it. Your animals will be grateful to you and have a good time while you are on vacation. Joe, you're not just a dog sitter for me. You were so familiar to me from the first moment. We had a lot of fun and we already miss you sooooo much. I'm really looking forward to see you again in some monthes.
Duha was such a light to have in our home while we were away. She kept us updated with beautiful photos of our dogs throughout her stay and didn’t leave their side once. I’ve never felt so comfortable with any other sitter and I truly hope this won’t be the last time she sits for us.
The two-leggeds and four-legged members of this household give Tess a 5-star rating! We think she's one of the best sitters you will find - highly communicative, friendly, competent, reliable, and great with pets. Tess was also flexible about start and end dates to accomodate possible winter weather complications. For this sit, Tess was able to bring along her mom, Cathy. Tess introduced me to Cathy during one of our Skype conversations prior to the sit. It was a bonus to have her here with Tess. Their travel to Marquette was complicated by weather. A fierce winter storm swept across Michigan just before the sit. It took Tess and Cathy two days to drive here but they arrived, as promised, in time for us to fly out early the next morning. We even had time for a lovely dinner together and to introduce them to the dogs and house. We left the next day and never had a moment's worry while Tess and Cathy were caring for our pets and home. Tess sent us regular updates and photos. The dogs immediately accepted them as great new additions to their pack of friends - even our cranky, old chihuahua, Nike! We returned to happy pets and a spotlessly clean home. We plan to invite Tess (and Cathy if available) to return for future sits. Thank you, Tess and Cathy!
