Cookie was a happy girl upon my return, and what was really nice was the bed had been stripped. Little things like that make a difference after a long day travelling. Katie was very communicative, regular Cookie pics and updates on anything going on which was great. Very reliable and easy going, so easy to work with. Thank you Katie.

Carol did a great job! She was responsible for keeping our cat company and also watering our plants. There was actually a pest control issue while we were gone and she was calm and proactive in helping us get it resolved. She left the house very clean and orderly. We would definitely recommend her!

I really can’t say enough about how wonderful our experience was. It was the first time using this service and also leaving our current pets for that amount of time. Tim and Chris were so nice and personable from the very beginning of meeting them. They put our minds at ease immediately. They kept in touch with photos and updates daily, and our house looks exactly like it did when we left it. So I really couldn’t even ask for anything more. If you are a helicopter pet owner and have anxiety about leaving your fur babies (and home) during an extended vacation, then I highly recommend this wonderful couple.

Celia was wonderful! My pup was taken out regularly and was obviously very fond of her sitter. The cats did wonderful and my house looked great when I returned. There was an issue with the lock on my front door, and she got it working, but was great about telling me about it so I can get it fixed. I highly recommend her.

I wish I could leave 10 stars! This is Lindsey and Josh's 2nd time pet sitting for us. Everything was beyond perfect. Communication leading up, her arrival the day before, their love and care for the entire pack of animals we have, the spotless house when we arrived home, all the photos and updates. It's an honor having them in our home and we would welcome them back every time if we could!

Karen is lovely person who helped us out over Christmas for a couple of days. Unfortunately she had covid so we had to do a non contact arrival and departure. I personally like to do in inperson hand over in the beginning, but there was nothing either party could do. She sent photos of the dogs and they looked happy as can be. Why we only gave her a 4 star rating is that our house smelled of distinct smokey odor. ( we are non smokers which states clearly in our welcome guide) It took over an hour to get the smell out by opening the doors. This really upset both my husband and myself. Agian she is a lovely person and talented as she left a wood carved ornament that she made which was appreciated. all the best Kathy

Michele is a great pet sitter for my dog Charley!  She keeps me informed and sends pictures.  I came home to an immaculate home!  I hope she will come back again.

Janet and Bob were great to our pups and our home! They were our first sitters so we weren’t really sure what we were getting into, but they made it an awesome experience! 

They are coming back to stay with our dogs again in August. Definitely trust them with your fur babies!! 🐾🐶

Jasmine is a five-star sitter.  She is everything you want in a sitter when you go away and leave your beloved pet and home.  She is reliable, communicative, respectful, and flexible.  We had no worries about our dog or home while we were away, and will be having Jasmine sit for us again soon.  Our home was immaculate when we got home, and our dog was obviously well-cared-for.  Can't say enough good things about this wonderful human.

Jerry gets a five star in every area! We actually connected on the phone before he ever arrived but once he got here, it was like we known each other forever! He was very thorough and how he was going to take care of the dogs and the house!! very friendly with the dogs, and they immediately connected with him!! dogs know when they are💖💖 he arrived early so he could become familiar with Circus and tinker and the house and we had a meal together and quickly became best friends! He sent pictures while we were away and updates. Every day. He was gone by the time we came back, but it honestly looked like he had never been in the house. Everything was perfect just like we left it.❗️❗️❗️ so if you’re looking for a Pet Sitter that is reliable in every way, and you know for sure is going to take good care of your pets this man is the one you want to have come to your home❗️❗️ you won’t be disappointed and I can promise you that💖🎉

Wendy sat for us on three occasions this Summer and I can’t say enough good things about her. The dogs were well taken care of and she was, organized, tidy, and responsible. It’s great to find a house/pet sitter that you can rest easy knowing everything is taken care of. We are hoping she will want to spend more time in the PNW!

Susan and Jim were amazing sitters for my 2 boys whilst I went to Portugal to play golf. Communication we had prior to the sit was excellent, and we were able to discuss the dogs in detail. They arrived the day before I was due to leave so we were able to have a good handover.

They really looked after the dogs well, and my house was immaculate when I returned. I can't recommend them highly enough, just wished they lived in the UK so I could use them on a regular basis. Thank you Susan and Jim xx

Care and compassion for my dogs was at the top of the list of John's attributes. He was the first sitter I have used through zeewoi that was close enough to come meet the dogs before the sit. John not only came for an initial meet and greet, but he made time to meet the pups a second time prior to my departure to better familiarize himself with both the dogs and my home. Having put the fear of God in him about Penny's reactivity (I might have been a bit over the top, but better more attentive than less!), he was cautious with her in the beginning. Later in the sit, they trooped off to the beach on multiple occasions - all good! My 10-yr-old was on some meds for a serious battle with arthritis, and John managed Cooper's needs beautifully. John even made a call and a trip to the vet to re-up Coop's prescription when it was clear he needed to continue the protocol. I received daily updates by  text, including photos and video; communication is hugely important to me. I feel blessed to have had John care for my fur-babies.

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!!

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.

Lori and Joe took great care of our two dogs and tow cats while we were gone. Our plans changed and we actually asked if they could come a day before we had originally planned to leave and they said no problem!   They even stayed over on the night we got home so that we could meet them which was very nice!

Lori was very good with communication before the house sit and also during the time they were here.  She  let us they had arrived safely and then sent us a short text or pictures every day of the  animals. 

The house looked cleaner than when we left it when we got home!  Lori and Joe were great house sitters and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them!
