Josephine and Jason were amazing. Totally self sufficient and they seem to impart a joy to everything they do. Olive was a happy camper, they taught her to swim and to do a high five. The house looked great on our return and all our plants survived through incredible heat. We would love to have them back! Thank you both for your great care!

Jude and Wendy were a pleasure to have sitting at my house and taking care of my Kacey. He was very good at communicating before and during the sit. He would send daily photos and updates of their time with Kacey. They gave Kacey the best vacation while I enjoyed my vacation. They left my house in excellent condition, cleaning it before I returned home. I felt very comfortable being out of the country knowing they were taking good care of Kacey and I hope they can watch her again during my future trips.

Maggie and Scott has been wonderful! Roo loved them at first sight and did his happy "dance" upon their arrival. They have been reliable, trustworthy and updated us on a regular basis. Maggie and Scott paid attention to detail and wanted to make sure that they knew Roo's routine. We never worried a minute while we were away because they had everything under control. It was such a comfort knowing that Roo was taken care of by those lovely people. I would highly recommend Maggie and Scott! On top of it, the house was sparkling and they made sure we had some basic food to start us off on our arrival. Thank you so much Maggie and Scott for everything!

Kim and Dave took wonderful care of our home and our dog, Luna, while we were traveling. They gave us updates while we were gone and gave her multiple walks a day. Our house was very clean when we returned home. They were easy to communicate with and very kind, lovely people. We would absolutely recommend them!

I highly recommend Sharon & can’t think of anyone I’d rather have stay with my pets. She is wonderful & did everything in her power to make sure we had an enjoyable trip before she even arrived. We came home to a clean house & very content dog. From first greet at the door, it was like Cleo had known Sharon for years. He can be a little bit standoffish sometimes, so that says a lot about her. He was treated like a king. Sharon was focused on Cleo & took the time to do all the activities he loves to do everyday (a long list) & provided lots of updates. Cleo is obviously disappointed. Sharon has left. Hoping she will come for another visit soon!

Chelsey flew to Oregon to care for Lucy for four days and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She came a day early like we requested and we so enjoyed getting to know Chelsey. She is a delight…funny, caring and very warm. Lucy immediately fell in love with her and even slept with her the first night when we were still home. Chelsey took Lucy on many adventures…to the mountains, the coast and even paddle boarding on a local lake which she loves! Chelsey kept us updated with photos and texts. When we got home every thing was tidy and in order and Chelsey left us a lovely note. We highly recommend Chelsey for your next sit. In fact we are hoping she returns to be with Lucy again!

Brianna is amazing! She is such a caring and kind person, and my two cats were naturally drawn to her. They usually only cuddle with me one at a time, so I found it interesting that she had several photos where they were cuddling together with her- maybe she somehow put them at ease? She seemed genuinely concerned for their wellbeing- one of them I’ve been struggling to get to eat and she tried out different things and was able to find a technique that I’m still using to get him to eat. She’s incredibly responsible and left my home immaculate. She’s also very easy to work with and is able to roll with everything. Such a great experience. Thank you Brianna!

Liv was absolutely wonderful! She is very experienced with pets. She was patient with our rescue Mango and new how to handle nervous dogs. She took care of Mango and our second dog Tina, taking them on walks and playing with them. She left our house very clean. I felt very comfortable leaving Liv taking care of our dogs and house. She provided daily updates. Highly recommend!

Marlen was such a blessing. We had another sitter cancel just a week before our vacation date so I was so relieved that she was able to step in at such short notice. She came to meet our pups a few days in advance so they would recognize her.  While we were away,  Marlen sent picture updates and made sure the dogs were cared for. So glad to have found someone like her to help us out.

We could not have asked for a better house sitter than Myria!  She is kind, personable, organized, responsible communicative and more...She read all of our instructions before arriving and asked lots of questions about our pups to make sure she understood their personalities and schedules.  You can tell she truly is a dog lover.  Myria provided regular updates and we felt 100% confident leaving our dogs in her care.  We came back to a home that was spotless - you could hardly tell she had been here.  I'd highly recommend Myria as your next zeewoi!

Liz was a fantastic sitter for our boys and took great care of our home.  She was a great communicator and kept us informed of what was happening and how our dogs were doing. She also kept our home clean and tidy. We would be grateful to have Liz sit for us anytime!

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!

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.

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.

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 truly the most wonderful, loving and kind dog sitter I have used.  My husky LOVES her.  Not to mention whenever I travel and return home, my apartment is neat and orderly.  She even baked a treat for me on my return! I highly recommend Alia.  She has sat for me several times and I can't wait to use her again. 
Thanks Alia! Me and Grey love having you:)

I could go on forever because Veronica was beyond incredible! We feel so fortunate that she was able to sit for us. Our fur babies were so spoiled with love and attention. Veronica followed their regular schedule, gave our dog her joint supplement, and helped clean her paws with medicated wipes from our vet. Our cat is very shy and sometimes doesn’t even come out for sitters and he loved Veronica! She brushed him and gave him so much love. They were both so happy when we came home. Veronica went above and beyond for us! She even made us masks, got us some disinfectant spray we haven’t been able to find and to top it off she made us bolognese sauce with sweet chicken sausage! She even left us a new box of pasta to make when we got home! We couldn’t believe we got to come home to an incredibly clean house, dinner and such happy pets! Veronica sent pictures and updates daily which made our time away even more relaxing. She took cleaning and sanitizing very seriously which we appreciated so much! We highly recommend her! She treated us, our home and pets just like family. We would love to have her sit for us again and are so grateful for everything she did for us! Also - dinner was delicious!!
