Retired couple looking for long term House/Cat Sitting anywhere in the World
Michael and Angela were nothing short of wonderful. They took inmaculate care of Oreo (our cat), our two fish (which Michael called “The Twins”), our home and the outdoor plants and deck. We could not have asked for better sitters. They sent regular text messages about the house and pets with pictures of the mail we received that was not junk mail. In addition to being good caretakers, they were super nice people and fun to know. We would have them return in a heart beat. What a wonderful couple!

Tara and Joshua were amazing pet sitters! Because of scheduling we sadly missed meeting them in person but they were very communicative before and throughout the sit. Would highly recommend them staying to take care of your pet!

Active 50-something couple interested in both urban and rural house/pet sits
So happy to have met Chris and Edward. They are a wonderful couple and took great care of with our fur babies. So much so, that we contracted with them for a second sit.

I can help you!
This was the second time we’ve had Cat stay at our house to care for our pup Freddie and cat Wilma and it was a delight once again! We really enjoy communicating with Cat - we feel like she’s a friend at this point! Like last time, she kept us updated (even on not-so-fun topics like dog poop 😂) and really paid attention to and cared for our animals. She went out of her way to take Freddie on a few adventures like the beach and a walking trail which was fun to see. We came home to two very content pets and a spotless home. We trust her completely and hope to have her stay again! If you’re lucky enough to have Cat sit, we strongly recommend!

She and her partner took great care of my dog and the house was clean when I came back- she is very flexible and understanding. Thank you so much!

Professional pet sitting family that will give your pet the love they deserve!
McKenzie, Mike and their three kids flew in from Iowa to sit for us. McKenzie's friend in Sacramento just had a baby, so it was a win-win. From our first Facetime, I felt very comfortable and confident that my cats and home were going to be in good care. Once they arrived, I got daily pictures and updates. The kids played with the cats and made friends with other children on the street. All my neighbors thought they were a lovely family. The house was left clean with a nice note, flowers and donuts. I would definitely recommend McKenzie and her family and hope they will come stay again in the future.

Responsible pet sitter that will treat them like family.
We went on a trip half way around the world. It was so nice to know Teresa was in our home taking care of our 3 dogs (German Shephard, Golden Retriever and King Charles Cavalier) and my numerous plants inside and out. We were only available with email so with Teresa in charge I had not worries. She left the house in great order. I will continue to use Teresa in the future and would highly recommend her as your sitter for your next trip.

A Warm Hello to Pet Owners! I have a big heart for our animal friends.
Where are the 10 stars? Lori is a 10 star person, pet sitter and house sitter. She is an extraordinary woman - caring, sensitive, responsible and an excellent communicator. We have had house sitters before but none can compare - she set a high bar. Our dog was loved while we were gone and well cared for. Frankie put Lori through her paces by escaping one evening during a storm and chasing neighboring cows who had gotten through their fence back to their home. Lori handled all of the chaos with calmness. The house was just as we had left it, plants and gardens cared for and a happy dog. We will definitely call on her again - in fact we will only call her for future house sits. She’s a sweet keeper.

Terri and Blake were wonderful house sitters, Harri our Welsh Springer Spaniel had clearly been more than well looked after. We received lots of pictures of him obviously having a great time. Blake looked after my garden so well. They are a very personable couple and we would recommend them highly.
Michele is a great pet sitter for my dog Charley! She keeps me informed and sends pictures. I came home to an immaculate home! I hope she will come back again.
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.
Sharon was an excellent sitter who I knew was taking great care of my two dogs while away. She walked them, was a clean guest, and sent regular pictures and updates. I’d recommend her to anyone.
Anita was a wonderful dog sitter for Balto! They were super tentative, made sure to ask any and all questions before we went away, and they sent the best updates about Balto while we were gone. I felt so much better knowing my dog was in great hands, and I could not recommend Anita enough! Quality care, and our apartment was spotless when we returned home.
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!
This is our second time with Jamie and she’s really a great sitter for our dogs . She’s a trusted person, smart. You can leave her your house and pets. Can’t wait to have Jaimie back next summer
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.
Cindy was great, couldn’t have asked for a better sitter experience! Communication was great both before and during the sit. Cindy was really helpful and flexible with arrival and departure arrangements. I came back to a happy dog and a well cared for house, can thoroughly recommend 🙂
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
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.
