I cannot recommend Neil and Fiona enough, so if they apply for a sit then please don’t hesitate to accept their application! Neil kept in touch from the moment I accepted their application and we liaised a lot prior to the sit so we all knew each other’s plans and I felt completely comfortable with our plans. We were able to spend time together on the day of their arrival, prior to when we left for our holiday. We got on really well and so I was more that delighted, and relaxed, to leave my home and my precious girl in their care. During the sit Neil and Fiona kept in touch and it was lovely to receive news from home with lovely photos of Sophie Louise and to hear a little of their adventures of where they’d visited during their stay. That meant a lot! We returned to an immaculate home and a happy and contented Sophie Louise. There were a few special touches which were lovely and after the nightmare journey home, meant so much! Thank you Neil and Fiona. I would welcome you back any time you’re next in the UK. I 100% recommend you to anyone who receives your application for a sit, without hesitation.

Cozette and Roger were great cat sitters. They were communicative throughout our trip and kept us updated with regular messages and photos. I felt completely comfortable leaving our home and Fergal in their care and Fergal was happy and relaxed when we got home. I would highly recommend Cozette and Roger to anyone looking for a cat sitter. They are the perfect choice for anyone who wants their cat to be well-cared for while they are away.

Chris & Alan are excellent House Sitters we were just so lucky to have them stay. Thank you for choosing us! We appreciated that they agreed to spend a night with us before we left for our trip the next morning, consequently we headed off very happy and confident leaving our beautiful fur babies with Chris and Alan. Chris sent lots of photos with a daily update which I love, thanks Chris. We arrived home to very happy excited fur babies and our house was spotless. We would love to have them back and we wish them well with their travels and future house sits.

Vicki was a wonderful sitter, was extremely easy to get on with and was an excellent pet sitter for our aging cat and dog. That well loved by our pets, Coco our elderly dog kept trying to find her for the next few days after the sit. The house was left clean and tidy as we left it. If Vicki had any questions after we left, would contact me for the answer. Got updated photos of the fur babies, it was very calming to know they were being cared for and happy at home. We could go away on our short holiday knowing everything was going to be fine. Thankyou Vicki :)

Debra looked after our two cats with such care and was a fantastic house sitter. Our cats were happy and chatty when we returned, the house was gleaming and the way Debra got to know our cats for a short stay was amazing. Thank you for communicating so well before, during and when leaving. You gave us such peace of mind while away.

This was the first time we had used Zeewoi, and I’ll be honest I did have some apprehensions about strangers not only being in our home but also about looking after our precious dog. However, from our first video call with Andrea & Mark, my husband & I felt at ease with them coming into our home and looking after not only our home & garden, but also our beautiful dog. Andrea & Mark were very considerate of our dog’s cheeky but chilled personality, and I know from the photos we received our dog was more than comfortable with them staying in our home and spoiling her with love and affection. It was a delight to arrive home & find the house spotlessly clean with some treats waiting for us and a very happy puppy dog to great me. I have no hesitation in recommending Andrea & Mark

Noeline appeared in the form of an angel & developed such a deep bond with all the animals in such a short span of time, it was truly remarkable. Never have I had such peace of mind while being away on a long-term travel plan. She went over and above the list of tasks .. to the extent of even passing on the baton to our next house sitter with a warm welcome and ensuring the smoothest of transitions. I was kept informed throughout her stay, all the animals were loved dearly, fed exceptionally well, on time, and their well-being was always at the forefront. Thank you for all you’ve done, Noeline.. Was an absolute pleasure and You’re always welcome here.

This was the second time that Lara & Braydon sat for us (the previous sit was in November 2023) but this time it was for a month rather than a fortnight. All of the things I wrote about them before applied this time around too, only they were even better. For starters, they did a lot more around the house and garden including cleaning, planting and mowing. Unfortunately Lara had covid for a week early on, but Brayden still took the dogs out daily for walks. Then towards the end of the sit they came down in the morning and found one of our dogs (Iolo) seriously ill due to suspected poisoning. They immediately drove him to our local vet and phoned us on the way, and very efficiently dealt with the vet including taking Iolo to an emergency overnight veterinary practice some distance away and collecting him early the following morning, and paying the emergency vet's bills (for which we reimbursed them of course). Once Iolo was back home they administered medicine for the rest of the week, looked after him and kept notes of everything for us. We cannot thank them enough - their prompt actions almost certainly saved Iolo's life. We would have no hesitation in recommending Lara and Brayden and would love it if they could sit for us again in the future.

Diane and Les were excellent pet and house sitters. Jet was a very happy dog when we returned and Diane had shared many photos of their days together while we were away on holiday. The house was very clean and tidy when we returned and some milk , bread and sweet treats had been left for us, which were very welcome after our 2 long flights home. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Diane and Les as sitters for your home and pets, everything was done to a high standard and Jet was happy in his usual environment , which is all we wished for. Many thanks to you both.

Ryan was one of our best sitters we’ve had! Ryan is so lovely to chat with and we looked forward to meeting him before our trip. He was organized and communicated his plans clearly with us and was easy to communicate with while we were away. Our dog took to him immediately and so we knew we could relax while away. Our home was in great shape when we returned and it was nice to get a debrief from him as well. We’d love to have Ryan back anytime, and so would Steve (our dog)!

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 initially accepted Deirdre and Jason for a long stay to look after our dogs.  We were very happy they accepted.  A few weeks later we realized we needed another sitter for another trip we had planned.  So, we posted more dates on zeewoi.  To our happy surprise,  Deirdre and Jason reached out to us saying they could also look after our dogs and home with the new dates we posted.   This made our life much easier and we were very confident to have Deirdre and Jason stay longer with us and care for our dogs.

We were definitely right!! D&J have countless experiences on zeewoi with very good reviews from all of their previous sits.  They are very experienced with all aspects of a house/pet sitting.  D&J are very self-sufficient, have the background knowledge and education of pet care, and most importantly a genuine love for all animals.  This is most important for my wife and I.  We knew from the first meeting with our pups they loved animals.  

Communication was excellent.  The process before and during our sit was stress-free for us.  We were given daily updates on our dogs including photos and videos.  Any concerns D&J had were vocalized to us.  D&J are also problem solvers and know how to react many challenging situations.  Our routine for our pets was followed immaculately and all dogs were very happy and connected with them.  Even our female dog Kinki grew close so quickly with D&J which is very rare.  We had ZERO issues while we were gone and we were able to really enjoy our trip while we were away.  The dogs definitely love being around D&J.


Homecare:  We are very pleased with the condition of our home when we returned.  It was clean, free of clutter, and exactly how we had left it for them, if not even better!  D&J even mowed our grass and took care of our yard! Our yard is not a small garden.  It is very big and takes hours to mow.  So we were very surprised and excited to know they did that for us even though it's not expected of our sitters!! They definitely went above and beyond what is expected. 

Our dogs are so very important to us.  When we know we can trust our sitters it's the best feeling in the world.  We definitely trust Deirdre and Jason with our most prized possessions and we look forward to the next sit with them in a few days!!! We can't thank them enough for giving our dogs the love and attention they deserve. 

We highly recommend Deirdre and Jason for your future sittings and you can always feel free to contact Izabela and I about D&J for additional verification from us.  They are fantastic!

Thanks so much Deirdre and Jason!

They took very good care of my pets which involved feeding cats twice daily, fish once or twice a day and filling up fountain for birds. Animals were healthy and happy when I returned. Nothing was lost or broken, and Diane even found a lost grinder part that had fallen into the cats food while I was using it. They are a pleasant couple. 

They were invited from Wednesday to Sunday.  They arrived on Monday so had 3 days instead of one to learn the pets routine. They also informed me that they wouldn't be leaving until Monday morning, but that worked out well since I was mistaken about the end date of my cruise and couldn't get home until Monday. Everything was left neat, but I had minor housekeeping to do (clean sink, fingerprints off glass table, sweep floor). They are older than stated on the profile, which they said only allows 65 as a top age. 68 and 73. Bruce has health problems that requires he sleeps sitting up in a chair that has a leg lift, which luckily I had, so he slept in my living room. They are fine caring for cats, but my friend with a dog decided to find another sitter rather than leave him with them (she was going to pay) because they seem somewhat frail.

Christina is the best house and pet sitter that we have ever had.  She leaves the house immaculate. She is independent, reliable, and totally professional. Communication is excellent. In terms of pet care, Christina is special.  I think that she is a dog whisperer.  Bridie, our crazy Wheaten, adores her and is sad when she leaves.

Alia is a wonderful furbaby sitter and also a wonderful person.  It is our privilege to have her for the 3rd time.  She keeps us informed, our dogs love her, and she even cooked dinner and left it for us.  The house was perfect when she left.

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 awesome and we have used her several times.  She is a 5 star rated sitter every time.  The dogs are happy and the house is perfect when we get home.  She even cooked dinner for our arrival home because we came home late.  Highly recommend Alia!!

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.
