Karen
Bascom, Texas
Caring and conscientious
Karen was exceptional!! We believe she truly cared about our dog, as if she was her own. She also cared about us. She was very communicative and interested in our travel while she cared for our dog. Karen is one of the most thoughtful people we have met! I would love Karen to sit again in our home!!
Emilye
Bascom, Texas
Solo “Van Girl” Traveling Full-Time and Working Virtually
This was my first time using trusted sitter and I have to say Emily’s removed any doubt for me. My two doodles were well taken care of. Emilye cleaned up the house and the areas she used while with us. I’m so thankful I took a leap of faith on this one. I hope in the future she’s available to continue to sit for us.
Geoff
Bascom, Texas
(cats) (coder) (clean) (PhD) (Trekkie) (LL: Acts of Service) (born: '77)
This was Geoff's second time to come help us out during the winter break. He was very reliable and communicated so well regarding the kitties and even helped ensure a little mouse who came in uninvited made it out of the house without harm. Geoff is someone I would recommend without hesitation. He guided me through the process of all things zeewoi and really alleviated any concerns about our pets while we were out of the country.

Urban Farm Girl + Massage Therapist
All went well. They seemed happy to help with the house and kept the pups happy! Pups love them!
Diane
Bascom, Texas
Dependable, knowledgeable, and ready to travel.
Diane was absolutely fantastic in every way & has become a friend to me and all of my friends. We are all hoping she returns soon and my pup is mourning her leaving. She even held Piper on her lap all the way to the airport. I was able to vacation without a single concern about my pup or my household. She really has me spoiled (my dog too!) Thanks Diane!!
Jeanne
Bascom, Texas
Mature and responsible pet/house sitters!
Jeanne and Matt are the perfect pet and Housesitter's. They were amazing communicators and sent sweet pictures of our happy pups. They enlist trust and confidence and we felt great about leaving our house and dogs with them for an extended period of time. We came home to an immaculate house, pool and yard that was clearly well cared for. Our dogs were happy to see us but have spent the last couple of days looking for their new pals. Matt and Jeanne were great to work with prior to departure, and were flexible about departure and arrival which was critical for an our long distance road trip where we had unpredictable cell service. We will add Jeanne and Matt as another amazing example of the wonderful people you can meet through zeewoi's and would be honored to have them accept another sit.
Therese
Bascom, Texas
Pet-loving couple who would love to treat your pet as our own while you're away.
Terri and Kevin were extraordinary house sitters for me and my two cats. Your questionnaire doesn't have enough stars in the categories for my high praise of this lovely couple. Anyone would be fortunate to have them sit their house.
Jessi
Bascom, Texas
Levi and I will care for your home and pets with loving intention!
Jessi was a great sitter that drove my dogs to the park many times during her stay. I appreciated her care and frequent updates.
Lindsey
Bascom, Texas
We love your animals! Domestic and international house sitting experience
Lindsey and Josh were initially responsive and communicative, making scheduling and initial video calls easy and efficient. We had two video calls; the first was with Lindsey and Josh and the second only with Lindsey. The second call included a detailed virtual tour of our home and pets, during which I gave explicit instructions on pet care. We also provided pre-recorded instructional videos for their reference. Upon our return, our home was in good condition, and our cats seemed happy and well cared for, which we truly appreciate. However, toward the end of the sit, there was an unfortunate issue with the care of our reptiles. Josh unplugged the heat lamp for one of our reptiles, believing it had shorted out and was a fire hazard, and placed it outside overnight without informing us. This was concerning because we had previously explained in the video call that the lamp, though hot (because it is a heat lamp), was functioning normally and posed no hazard. Additionally, he unplugged the extension cord providing power to our other tank leaving both our reptiles without heat for over 20 hours. While we understand the safety concern, we would have preferred immediate communication when they believed there was an issue. It was only after we noticed the lamp outside through our external security camera (which they were informed of in our listing and on the initial call) while checking if our trash had been picked up by the city after seeing our trash service was 2 days late in our community’s Facebook page and inquired that they then informed us about the situation. Fortunately, our pets were unharmed, and we confirmed that all equipment was in proper working order upon our return. Overall, while there was a miscommunication regarding the heat sources, Lindsey and Josh ensured our other pets were well looked after. Our only suggestion to them would be to ensure clear, prompt communication in case any issues arise.
Genevieve
Bascom, Texas
Retired married couple eager to sit at your house, ranch, or farm.
We couldn't have asked for better housesitters. Frank and Genny are kind, thoughtful, and down-to-earth, with a genuine care and interest in your home, pets, and locale. They were comfortable tackling new things, from shuffling our ducks to-and-fro to mucking out the guinea pigs, and we knew right away they would handle anything thrown at them (i.e. the occasional duck mutiny). We appreciated the brief updates and photos that let us know everything was good (particularly the bigfoot-esque sighting of the one skittish cat—not something easily come by). We returned to a clean home, happy pets, thriving houseplants, and helpful notes to let us know things like we were running low on litter. If we had to find something bad to say, our dog misses them!
Reviews from Dog Owners
Scott
Regina did a great job. Showed up exactly when planned. House was cleaner when I arrived home than when I left. She kept in touch to a perfect degree and the dogs were in great shape. Good sitter and would recommend
Lauren
Kathleen was a fantastic sitter and Olive and Noodle miss her already. She was great about sending pictures and updates - never had to ask anything, she always beat us to it. She didn't assume anything that wasn't clearly stated - always asked us beforehand. She was great with our dogs - they immediately bonded with her and didn't want to leave her side. We really appreciated being able to go away and not worry about our pets' welfare, we knew immediately they were being so well taken care of. We hope to host Kathleen again soon!!
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.
Steve
Natalie took great care of it dog and cats! She was clean, organized, conscientious, and communicative. Our dog had a small cut on his foot and Natalie took great care to help him heal. I would highly recommend Natalie as a house sitter and pet sitter!
Mia
Anita was a wonderful dog sitter for Balto! They were super tentative, made sure to ask any and all questions before we went away, and they sent the best updates about Balto while we were gone. I felt so much better knowing my dog was in great hands, and I could not recommend Anita enough! Quality care, and our apartment was spotless when we returned home.
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.
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!!
Eddie & Alvin
Shannon and Travis stepped up at the last minute when an earlier sitter canceled. Shannon and Travis took care our our large brood of animals for two weeks while we were out of the country over the Christmas holiday. They kept us informed about what was happening with the animals and our home. Our dog Pepper doesn’t like most people, but loved Travis and Shannon immediately. I would not hesitate to welcome Shannon and Travis back for another sit. They are very honest and friendly people. Their dog Dime is also awesome.
Jane
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.

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.
