Reliable, caring and respectful
Sharon was a delight to have in my home. She was very reliable and friendly. My home was beautiful and clean and my fur babies were very relaxed and happy. I would have Sharon back to sit any time.
Lesley
Canberra, Australia
Newfoundland-owning, non-smoking, real estate professional
Lesley was fantastic and looked after our house and pets perfectly. The house was immaculate on our return and the dogs both really happy - they'd obviously had a great time and were very happy around her. We would highly recommend!
Glynis
Canberra, Australia
Pet People. Competent, Responsible and Caring Couple
Glynis and Alan are fabulous house sitters and I would rebook them in a heartbeat for my next trip if they were not otherwise engaged. My cat was unwell during the sit and they took great care of her , visiting the vet and managing the medication she needed etc. they engaged with Charley and Louie who were very happy campers when we arrived home. They kept in communication with us via WhatsApp sending updates with photos and videos which made us very comfortable during our trip. The house and garden were also very clean and tidy. Highly recommend them even though this probably means it will be a challenge to book them again ! Thanks again Glynis and Alan.
Aubrianna
Canberra, Australia
Young professionals grateful to care for your beloved pets and home
Exceptional experience! I would recommend Aubrianna & Luka to anyone considering having Pet Sitters whilst you are away. This was our first experience using zeewoi and having petsitters stay in our home, and also the longest time we have left our dogs for (3 weeks). We also had a relatively new puppy at home so choosing the right people to take care of our dogs was really important to us. We got great vibes from the get-go with Aubrianna & Luka, during our meet & greet zoom, you could really tell that they took a genuine interest in learning about our dogs and how best to care for them. Aubrianna and Luka are lovely people. They were extremely responsive and proactive in their communications both before the sit and whilst we were away. We were updated with fantastic photos and notes on what they had been up to each day. We felt completely at ease during our time away, and could relax and enjoy our holidays knowing how well our dogs were being taken care of whilst we were gone. The house was super clean and tidy on our arrival back, and they had also baked some delicious brownies for us in time for our arrival back. The dogs loved them both and were sad to see them go. Aubrianna and Luka were both really trustworthy, kind & reliable. We feel extremely lucky to have had such wonderful petsitters look after our babies, Aubrianna & Luka, you are welcome back to our home anytime! We would highly recommend choosing them for any petsitting needs you may have. Thank you so so much!

Valeria and Kevin were amazing. They looked after our two dogs and two cats exceptionally well - lots of photos and I never had any doubts about the care of the animals for 5 weeks. They were easy going and completely self sufficient, honest and reliable. House was perfect. Highly recommend their help!
Ashley
Canberra, Australia
Experienced, reliable, caring and active couple.
Beck and Ashley looked after our dog for the second time and did a wonderful job . Our dog looks very healthy and happy . Beck sent me a few photos while we were away which is always reassuring and our house was very tidy on our return . It was a pleasure to have Beck and family as housesitters
Robert
Canberra, Australia
Trusted and reliable couple available to care for your home and fur babies.
Robert and Toni his partner are very honourable people who due to circumstances beyond their control had to depart early. They would never have done this on a whim and did everything they could to ensure a smooth transition. We have used them before and would do so again in an instant… we are glad we had premium insurance as life happens beyond our control sometimes. 10 out of 10 for these sitters for cleanliness and integrity Joni our dog adores them.
Allan
Canberra, Australia
Looking forward to taking care of your house and pets, as if they were our own.
Fantastic couple! They are so kind and respectful. Seasoned petsitters. Our pets were very well cared for as well as our house. They went above and beyond with leaving the house clean and tidy. Very self sufficient. We would live to have them again.
Niv
Canberra, Australia
Responsible, Caring, Tidy Young Woman
This is our second pet sit with niv. As before she was excellent. We came home to a happy dog and a very clean house. Niv is reliable and sends communications regularly for us anxious parents. I would highly recommend niv to others and would certainly use her again.
Russ
Canberra, Australia
EXPERIENCED AUSTRALIAN HOUSESITTERS
Russ sat for us for 10 days while we were on holiday, looking after our cat, Ella. He came to see us before the sit so we could show him around and he was easy to get along with. He arrived on time and kept the house and garden in good order while he was here. His communication was ok and he sent us some pictures of Ella once asked. The only thing which marred the experience was when we arrived home, we found old food and mould in the cat food bowl which suggested that it hadn't been cleaned regularly enough.
Reviews from Dog Owners
Steve
Natalie took great care of it dog and cats! She was clean, organized, conscientious, and communicative. Our dog had a small cut on his foot and Natalie took great care to help him heal. I would highly recommend Natalie as a house sitter and pet sitter!
Abby
David and Elynn were fabulous pet sitters and house sitters. Our dog and rabbit were well-taken care of, the house was left even cleaner than when they arrived! I would highly recommend David and Elynn, and would happily have them again! David and Elynn took excellent care of our dog Cosmo and our rabbit Oreo. They made sure they were happy, well-fed, and got exercise and fresh air! We were very happy to receive several photos of our furry friends while we were away. They took amazing care of the house and yard, and were very open with communication. If they were uncertain of anything or had a question, they were very open about reaching out! David and Ellyn were wonderful houseguests, who left the house even cleaner than they found it! I would highly recommend David and Elynn and their two adorable children. They are wonderful, respectful people who definitely love animals and will give your pets and home lots of care! Thank you!! :)

I’m sure most folks say the nicest things about their sitter, but honestly, if there were a “super star” status available then Denise would win the prize as sitter of the year! From the start, Denise was an excellent communicator. While we were still in the decision phase, Denise was always available to chat either by FaceTime, telephone or text. It was so easy to choose Denise; as you can see from her countless 5 star reviews, she truly is the only pet sitter you’d ever need and the one everyone hopes to have. Denise came to our house eager to meet us, our pets and the quirks of our house. Denise has an excellent sense of humor and immediately put us all at ease. Our pets took to her as if she was a long lost friend (even our finicky Siamese cat was loving on her from the start). While we were gone, our dog had a non-emergency health issue come up and just like that Denise was taking her to our vet, and administered the dog’s meds like a champion (Denise is also a nurse BTW). Additionally, Denise brought our pup to her scheduled groom appointments and even made future appointments for us to make our return home as seamless as possible. Denise was even above and beyond helpful to our neighbors and they appreciated her giving them access to our refrigerator when theirs broke down on Thanksgiving Eve! When we got home we were super impressed by how perfectly immaculate our house was! Most sitters leave the house clean, but Denise met and may have even exceeded our military standards of clean and orderly. Seriously, our house felt like we never left it. Everything was spotless, shinny and clean. She didn’t miss a beat!! Our pets were so happy to see us but honestly, I felt like our pup and kitty were disappointed when we walked in the door (I believe they were expecting to see Denise!). Haha. If you are ever fortunate enough to have Denise apply for any of your sits then I can’t recommend her enough. Seriously, you can stop reviewing applicants and just go with Denise. She was awesome in every sense of the word and I hope she’ll come back and stay with our pets again.

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!
Lori
Jo & David were absolutely amazing sitters for our house and dog Rosie while we were out of town for 2 1/2 weeks. They are the best! Jo was super communicative and responsive at all times. She and David bonded with our dog, who grew very attached to them. They left our house super clean (and there were even chocolate chip cookies for us on our return)! Most of all, they are just super nice people and very easy to work with. Anyone is lucky to have JoAnna & David housesit for them.
Emilie
Wendy was the perfect dog sitter and house sitter for us. She managed our house and dog and in such a caring a responsible way. Wendy was prompt with communicating with us and managed situations that arose professionally. Our house was spotless and our dog happy when arrived home. I knew everything thing was in good hands while we were away. I hope we can invited her to stay with us again.
Craig
Ryan is a great house and pet sitter and I definitely recommend him. He took excellent care of my apartment and my dog for peace of mind when I was away. He is professional, friendly, and experienced.
Anne
The two-leggeds and four-legged members of this household give Tess a 5-star rating! We think she's one of the best sitters you will find - highly communicative, friendly, competent, reliable, and great with pets. Tess was also flexible about start and end dates to accomodate possible winter weather complications. For this sit, Tess was able to bring along her mom, Cathy. Tess introduced me to Cathy during one of our Skype conversations prior to the sit. It was a bonus to have her here with Tess. Their travel to Marquette was complicated by weather. A fierce winter storm swept across Michigan just before the sit. It took Tess and Cathy two days to drive here but they arrived, as promised, in time for us to fly out early the next morning. We even had time for a lovely dinner together and to introduce them to the dogs and house. We left the next day and never had a moment's worry while Tess and Cathy were caring for our pets and home. Tess sent us regular updates and photos. The dogs immediately accepted them as great new additions to their pack of friends - even our cranky, old chihuahua, Nike! We returned to happy pets and a spotlessly clean home. We plan to invite Tess (and Cathy if available) to return for future sits. Thank you, Tess and Cathy!

Ranji was a wonderful pet sitter for my dog Zoe and was very easy to communicate with and kept me informed. She took wonderful care of our condo and wouldn’t hesitate to have her in my new home in NJ if she wants to check out a new area.

I cannot thank Jenny and Geoff enough for stepping in at the last minute after the original sitter cancelled. They are a great couple, friendly , organised and extremely capable. Also they LOVE animals. My dog and cat have clearly been given a great deal of care and attention in my absence. Jenny kept in touch with notes and lovely photos, Geoff cut my grass and I came home to a spotlessly sparkling house ! Thank you so much! Jenny and Geoff are welcome back anytime and I would not hesitate to recommend them as excellent sitters.
