Rochelle and Lawrence took excellent care of our three year old cockapoo, Gryffin. They were very organized prior to the sit and confirmed arrival/departure times well in advance. They sent great photos during the sit and I could tell Gryffin was in good hands. The house was left clean and I could tell Gryffin really liked them when we got home. Thanks again for giving Gryffin so much love while we were away!

Anne and Alan were a delight to meet and I was very comfortable leaving Maple in their capable care. They were attentive to her every need, while also taking good care of my home and small garden. Their communication was always timely and clear. I returned home to a happy cat, a clean home and dinner in the fridge. I would welcome them back to take care of Maple and my home anytime.

Thank you, Carolyn and Mike. They did a fantastic job of looking after our two cats. (Sent us photos of one of our cats who doesn't let anyone but us touch him - being patted!) Carolyn and Mike were extremely easy to communicate with from the beginning. They looked after our home beautifully and even changed the sheets on their bed before they left. I highly recommend them, and you would be lucky to have them as your house sitters.

I’m sorry to see that we have a look leaving a review for Claire and Lackland. They were great housesitters and obviously took good care of our dogs but a little bit more attention to how was the cleaning would have been appreciated. No big deal though. Friendly, independent, and kind describe them well. They even brought us a present from New Zealand: a beautiful cushion cover that we now use in our living room. Thank you! We would not hesitate to have them again. Mai and Michel

Joy was a pleasure to have staying at our house and looking after our doggy. She is great to communicate with and well organised. Our Charlie had a great time and Joy sent photos of him by email during our holiday. The house was left in an immaculate condition and really appreciate her genuine care. Thoroughly recommend. All the best Joy and thanks again.

Annalou and Harry took great care of Oban. They looked after him for 8 days and we cam back to a clean and tidy house. We would have liked a few more updates but that hasn't taken away from the care they showed Oban and would certainly have pet sit again. House was clean and tidy when we got home.

6 stars out of 5!!! 🌟 John and Jan are the perfect housesitters. I was nervous leaving our dog with strangers as it's been a long time since we had been away and he is a sensitive pooch but John and Jan were receptive and empathetic from start to finish. They looked after the house and gardens as if it were their own and we returned to healthy animals, an immaculate home and garden and a fresh healthy and nutritious meal for us when we returned. Which, after a 32 hour journey from Europe was more than appreciated. Honestly cannot recommend John and Jan highly enough. Massive thank you to them both 🥰

I was very happy with the love and affection that was very apparent when Travis and Shannon met the pups. I received one picture on my trip and was happy to see Shannon cuddled under a doggie pile. Nothing like seeing your dogs being loved by others as their own. Every thing was in its place when I return which was nice. I also received a welcome home gift handmade by them which was very lovely and made my day.  I highly recommend them as trustworthy and reliable pet sitters to anyone.

Kelly was an excellent sitter for us. She communicated well, before the sit and during the sit. When we got home, the dogs and our guinea pig were happy and well. Kelly was dependable and showed up exactly on time. The house was well maintained and clean when we arrived home. We would definitely host Kelly again.

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!

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!

We loved Misty!!!! She was absolutely the most perfect baby sitter for our dog and an amazing short term tenant at our house. Not only did she keep the house clean but she even washed everything she used before we got home. We even got a couple gifts from her. She is such a sweet human, kept in contact with us while we were gone and sent videos of the hikes and walks they went on. I would 100% ask her to stay at our house again

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.

Nicole and Gabriel were excellent house sitters and we would highly recommend them to anyone. Our dog absolutely loved them and she was spoilt rotten. The house, pool and yard were kept clean and well looked after. On a personal note we also found both of them interesting and great conversationists.

Oh my Goodness!  Where to begin.  Linda was the perfect house sitter for us and the perfect pet sitter for Olivia!  She is one of the nicest people you will ever meet.  When we returned from out two week vacation all our plants were alive, the garden was alive, the birds and fish had been fed regularly, and the dog was alive and happy!  What more can you ask for, right?  Well with Linda you get all that and more.  Updates as you request - even videos of her morning walks with Olivia.  The house as spotless as we left it, maybe even better! Even the porches were clean!  Linda is a genuine treasure and our recommendation would be 10 stars if there were that many!!
