Erica and Chris were absolutely amazing. From our first interactions, to the way our home was maintained when we got home, we truly couldn’t have asked for anything better! Chris went above and beyond on many occasions - fixing wobbly tables and raising our back gate. Erica mowed our grass and both of them were genuine and kind humans! Our dogs and cats were so happy when we got home. Thanks Erica and Chris!!!

This was Michael's second sit with my cats, and I have nothing but good things to say about him. He's compassionate, tidy and really great with my cats, including some particularly timid strays. Also, Michael had to complete a handover with another sitter during this sit and with his help the whole process went very smoothly. Of course, once again, I would gladly invite him to house sit anytime! Thanks, Michael!

From the outset I was very confident that Mary & Ian were ideal sitters to cope with the nuances of my furry family of 3 ! As . We had chatted several times on Whatssap, and both had had cats as pets over many years, and a wealth of life experience living with cats!! As soon as they arrived Mary & Ian set about familiarising themselves with the apartment layout and then observing the foibles of Mau, Kitty& Toots., including the litter tray routine ( lol)….Marrying my outline Guide to the “real deal”, and I believe they, like my cats themselves , were not at all daunted at the prospect of being surrogate trusted “fur parents” for a week . All 3 furs vied for attention, and Kitty, although quite nervy,, took to sitting on Mary’s lap at every available opportunity …with Mau & Toots competing for attention… and their daily groomings too!!!, when they returned from their daily sojourn , exploring the area., they had the energy to care for and be entertained by the furs! Mary’s excellent forward planning ensured that they gave time to the furs on a morning before setting off…and again on an evening , Ensuring that the cats’ routine, especially feeding times ,was not disrupted and as all parties enjoyed waking fairly early?.? (lol) Mary & Ian had time to explore and enjoy visiting several highly recommended tourist attractions, they had researched. Ian was a gem and offered to sort out finishing laying down approx 400 kilos of Wood chip and off cuts based “soil” along the side of my drive, AND remove Garden garbage to the recycle area , down the road. So the outside was very tidy & orderly, on my return . Mary watered my pot plants on the calçada , AND Enjoyed fresh lemons & picking physalis berries( Chinese gooseberries) . All my flowering plants , young tomatoes , beetroot n onions were thriving on my return. Thank you so much for taking such good care of Kitty , Mau & Toots, my garden and my home. Everywhere was clean and tidy and in good order when I returned. The cats simply adored Mary , and the regular photo updates sent to me by Mary endorsed the fact that I had not been missed!! It was truly lovely to have you stay and look after M,K,T and get to know you a little. The “5 Star” rating for every aspect of their stay reflects Mary & Ian’s commitment to be genuine “zeewoi”, and importantly ensure that Mau, Kitty & Toots…. Were safe and cared for , during my absence…….. they simply Never missed me!! We all really enjoyed your company …Thank you sooooo very much. If you are ever blown off course in your world wide adventures and land in Portugal again….please look us up!,,,…you’ll always be Welcome.

Lise was so amazing. We coordinated our trips perfectly and she was very easy to plan with. She was especially wonderful with my dog, extremely active and loving. I arrived home to a non-anxious joyful puppy. I am so grateful that she made this trip so easy and my house was spotless too!!!

Mac, Nala and I were so lucky to have Bill & Stacy come and housesit for us. I had a lovely initial video call with them, followed by them coming round for an orientation visit the day before the sit started and they then took wonderful care of Mac and Nala. I had picture, video and message updates every day and they left the place spotless. I think what I particularly loved was that they knew cats and cat behavior very well and I felt like they cared so much about Mac and Nala. This gave me great peace of mind while I was away. This is a really lovely couple and I’m very grateful to them for being here. I hope there will be another chance for them to come again before long!

Marjan and Harm were wonderful! We had easy and comfortable communication before we left and their experience was evident in their confident manner. They arrived ahead of our departure with enough time to walk around our home and understand it. While we were away, they shared updates and photos on our furry friends which reassured all of us, especially our four children. We returned to find our home spotless and well cared for. We were grateful for that after 3 weeks and grateful for the cut lawn and repairs that Harm did to some outstanding issues in our house (we did not ask). We would highly and unreservedly recommend them as sitters for your home and pets! Thank you both!!

Anne and Bryan were very dependable and devoted to giving my dogs the best care possible. Anne kept communicating with me as I was traveling and updated me on everything going on with my pups and my home. I didn't have to worry about the safety of Indy and Scout or worry that they were not receiving enough love and attention. I knew that they were. Thank you Anne and Bryan.

Did you know that amazing and perfection have 2 new synonyms? Yes, Erika Lynn and Manny are them! This was my first sit experience with zeewoi, and I was absolutely thrilled! My house was immaculate! I am embarrassed to say, I thought it was even cleaner than I left it! However, most importantly, their care for Phoebe was clearly evident!!! When I arrived home, I expected her to run to me with joy.... She didn't even care that I was home! It was like I never left, which was exactly what made the sit so perfect!!! I chose zeewoi to save Phoebe from the stress of boarding and travel, and I thought my only concern would be her anxiety over my being gone. Erika Lynn and Manny removed that worry ENTIRELY!! Phoebe is a dog who does not quickly or easily trust strangers and can be anxious in new situations. I was concerned how she would adjust to the transition of strangers in the house caring for her. Phoebe was so relaxed at my return! She was treated so well and so loved by them, that my absence was not noticed. Phoebe treated me as if I just returned from a quick trip to the store. No anxiety. No stress. They provided updates and stayed in touch. I would highly recommend them for any sit. zeewoi is blessed to have them as a part of this community. I am truly grateful for the love and care they gave to Phoebe and to my home!

Lana and her son were really wonderful to host. They look great care of our house and pets and we were really able to enjoy our vacation knowing Lana had everything under control. Our pets seemed to have a great time with them and the house looked great and super clean when we got home. Highly recommend and would be happy to host them again.

Despite a glitch over the start date Laura was a charming and reliable housesitter who gave Tuppence my Cockapoo a great deal of love and attention and also welcomed two Air BnB guests in my absence . I would happily use Laura again as I felt totally confident in her.

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!!

David was a great sitter for our dog! It was just him for this sit. He was very communicative before, during, and after the stay. He visited the apartment before we left to meet our dog and talk with us, and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and confident that our dog was in good hands. He sent us updates throughout the stay, and left the apartment in great condition. While our dog is on the older side, he can still be a handful at times, but David didn’t seem to have any problems. Would definitely recommend David for any future sit!

If we could give 10 out of 5 stars for Candace, Brian, and Chris, we would!  They were amazing house and dog sitters for Brown Dog and Scout. They were so accommodating with our timeline and had read our welcome guide to a tee!  It was so reassuring being gone for 2 weeks and knowing our pups were in amazing hands. They sent us daily updates and pictures and it was clear the dogs were so well cared for!  They left the house very clean and even had all of our bedding and towels washed for us when we arrived home. Would absolutely recommend them for a sit and would love to have them back again any time!

Robyn was a great pet sitter and house sitter.  She  went way over and beyond my expectations!!!! She sent a photo of her and my dogs and they were looking at her like they were in love.  And my cats are not very friendly, but she won them over also.  I would highly recommend Robyn as a pet sitter and house sitter.  She is a very sweet lady.  I would love to have her watch my babies again and again.

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

Mikayla was a superb house/dog sitter for us for one full week. She was an excellent communicator, very quiet and tidy (respectful of the space) and best of all she quickly bonded with our big dog Mouse. She cheerfully took her for long walks and shared photo updates regularly. I highly recommend Mikayla.

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.

Angela was fantastic.  She came a day early to meet us and our dog Bella and to get the lay of the land and we so enjoyed meeting her and getting to know her!  She took care of our home and Bella with the utmost care and attention.  She was great to communicate with throughout the sit and we felt confidant being away knowing our dog and home were in such good hands! We returned to a clean house and she even prepared dinner for us!  It was clear that Bella was happy, well taken care of and very fond of her!!  We would definitely recommend Angela.  She was a reliable sitter and a delightful person all around!!
