We were absolutely delighted to meet and have Del and Christopher care for Izzy, the fish and our home whilst we were away. They stayed in touch. Our home was exactly as it was when we left and most importantly our Izzy was happy and not stressed when we arrived home. I’d have these guys back in a heartbeat! Thank you again

Five Stars all the way and they are all well-deserved <3 This is the second sit with Rick and Ingrid and I cannot recommend these two enough! They are the Perfect Sitters - they cuddle and love my cats, they send me periodic updates (and great photos!), they are responsible and self-sufficient. I know that if there is a question, they won't hesitate to ask. But only after trying to find the answer first themselves. My only regret is that they live on the other side of the world from me, so getting them over for more frequent sits can be difficult. If you can get Rick and Ingrid in your application pile, just go ahead and confirm the sit. You won't be disappointed!

I had Sheila and Ian stay for a long weekend to look after my two kitties. They were the perfect house minders and sent regular updates about the cats. I felt confident my cats and the house were being looked after, which allowed me to enjoy my time away. The house was immaculate on my return. Thanks Sheila. You would be welcome back any time.

Phil and Diane were great sitters. Communication was good from start to finish. The dogs settled well with them both straight away which is always a relief! There was a problem with Enzo not eating when we first left but with a few messages between us, we managed to sort that out and all was good. The dogs were very well looked after and the house was clean and tidy when we returned. You can't ask more than that and we would thoroughly recommend Phil and Diane. We do hope they can sit for us again in the future. Thank you both!

Kara was a lovely sitter for our two dogs Kevin and Ernie. We received regular pupdates and both dogs were both very happy and well when we got home. They usually get anxious if we leave them and they aren’t walked but they were very calm on our return. Kara was extremely helpful and flexible with some news from the vet we received whilst overseas and overall we were extremely grateful for Kara’s care of our pups. Our home was left clean and tidy.

Although my planned trip away was cancelled due to me needing to help with a family emergency, and taking Corey with me, Noel and Jude kept to their schedule and came to Kippen despite not having Corey to care for. I'm sorry that I didn't have the opportunity to meet them as they seem a truly lovely couple. Our communication at all times was great, they're so friendly, they asked great questions when we first met and shared lovely photos of some of their experiences on their trip. While Noel and Jude stayed in my cottage they continued to communicate well and were very helpful and reassuring, I felt that everything was in excellent hands and was happy that they could enjoy the area even though they didn't have Corey for company!

Theresa is a reliable and experienced pet sitter in addition to being great at keeping house! She was very accommodating in meeting me & the dogs in advance of our sit, which proved she is a true pet person: attentive to my dogs and eager to know how they should be cared for. She kept me posted while I was away & I returned to a tidy home & happy dogs!
I highly recommend her!!

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.

Joe was an excellent sitter and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away, dealing with one of our pup’s surgery recovery, which was an unexpected circumstance just prior to our trip. We felt fully comfortable and were so grateful to know that all of our dogs and our home were in such good hands during his stay. Highly recommend!

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!

Lisa and Matt were absolutely fantastic sitters for us and our dog, Moose.  
Not only were they flexible when our flight was changed last minute, they also were able to stay an extra day to accommodate the changes.  They communicated with us promptly during the scheduling and planning process for the housesit.  They arrived on time on the (re)scheduled day.  They acclimated to our dog very quickly and gave us piece of mind as we left by taking him on a walk to avoid his separation anxiety.  We chatted every day and exchanged photos of Moose playing at the beach and in the yard.  He was so happy!  No problems were encountered with the house.  Even our neighbors commented on how friendly and kind Lisa and Matt both were and how they really cared for Moose.  
The house was spotless when we returned.  Everything in proper order, better than we left it.  
We can't thank them enough for the excellent experience!

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.

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.

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!!

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:)
