Anne and Alan were a delight to meet and I was very comfortable leaving Maple in their capable care. They were attentive to her every need, while also taking good care of my home and small garden. Their communication was always timely and clear. I returned home to a happy cat, a clean home and dinner in the fridge. I would welcome them back to take care of Maple and my home anytime.

Joy was a pleasure to have staying at our house and looking after our doggy. She is great to communicate with and well organised. Our Charlie had a great time and Joy sent photos of him by email during our holiday. The house was left in an immaculate condition and really appreciate her genuine care. Thoroughly recommend. All the best Joy and thanks again.

I’m sorry to see that we have a look leaving a review for Claire and Lackland. They were great housesitters and obviously took good care of our dogs but a little bit more attention to how was the cleaning would have been appreciated. No big deal though. Friendly, independent, and kind describe them well. They even brought us a present from New Zealand: a beautiful cushion cover that we now use in our living room. Thank you! We would not hesitate to have them again. Mai and Michel

Matt and Asia were simply perfect for us. They communicated well prior to the stay and turned up when planned. They had quite a few farm jobs including moving the sheep and checking the pig trap which they took in their stride. Asia had lots of farm experience and was confident with all tasks given. They also cooked us a lovely meal and were great company for us and the kids. I recommend them to any future hosts!

Aujke and Ferry were wonderful house-sitters. They arrived promptly and connected well with Meyer and Sofia. The sent updates and photos of happy-looking animals whilst we were away and the house was in perfect order when we returned. We would definitely recommend them both.

Dee came round to my home well before the sit, so we could all meet prior. When she came round for the sit, the dogs were really pleased to see her which was a great sign. Dee communicated really clearly, was on time and was very clean and tidy. And sent me msgs while I was away I felt very confident having her look after the animals and house.

6 stars out of 5!!! 🌟 John and Jan are the perfect housesitters. I was nervous leaving our dog with strangers as it's been a long time since we had been away and he is a sensitive pooch but John and Jan were receptive and empathetic from start to finish. They looked after the house and gardens as if it were their own and we returned to healthy animals, an immaculate home and garden and a fresh healthy and nutritious meal for us when we returned. Which, after a 32 hour journey from Europe was more than appreciated. Honestly cannot recommend John and Jan highly enough. Massive thank you to them both 🥰

Julia was an amazing house sitter and dog sitter! She sent me photos and updates every day, she took my pup Jordan on long walks and gave him the love, care, and patience that he needs. She was so easy and comfortable to communicate with and she left the house so clean and tidy for when I came back. Definitely recommend her!!!

Joe and Casey were very easy going and reliable. We organised the sit way in advance with a video chat and we had adequate communication leading up to the sit. We handed over the house and animals after a fairly swift explanation of everything. Being experienced sitters Joe and Casey didn't need us to over explain anything (hopefully they felt the same) and we could see very quickly that they were animal lovers. They asked us how much communication we needed whilst away and we said "no news is good news". So we received just the right amount of updates along with the most adorable photos and reassuring words about all the animals. It was clear that they quickly understood the character of each of the animals. We forgot to mention that Tipper likes to dig dirt beds around the garden which creates quite a mess and it was obvious that these were kept under control. The garden and pool were well cared for. We enjoyed a relaxing couple of weeks away knowing that the animals were being loved and the dogs definitely looked for Joe and Casey when we arrived home. Our pets, home and garden were well respected and cared for and we would not hesitate to invite Joe and Casey to sit for us again.

Marlen was such a blessing. We had another sitter cancel just a week before our vacation date so I was so relieved that she was able to step in at such short notice. She came to meet our pups a few days in advance so they would recognize her.  While we were away,  Marlen sent picture updates and made sure the dogs were cared for. So glad to have found someone like her to help us out.

Janet and Bob were great to our pups and our home! They were our first sitters so we weren’t really sure what we were getting into, but they made it an awesome experience! 

They are coming back to stay with our dogs again in August. Definitely trust them with your fur babies!! 🐾🐶

Evan and Maria were fabulous. They are experienced sitters and it shows in their independence. They sent regular updates, but not too regular and were totally self sufficient. Most importantly both the house and dog were perfect when we returned home.

Such a great family! George, Larissa and their crew were a fantastic bunch. Our large senior dog got an eye infection right before we left for our trip and so we had to ask them to do some extra eye care. When it was clear that it wasn’t getting better they were willing to load up Lorax and take him to a vet appointment and then apply the prescribed ointment for the next week and a half. Definitely above and beyond care that we really appreciated!
Our house was left in great shape, our pets were super well cared for, and George and Larissa were great communicators. We have had many many sitters over the past 3 years but this was the first family. Nothing to worry about, they were terrific and we would happily have them back again. 
Thanks for taking such good care of our fury family and our home!

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.

Christina handled Bridie's first-ever time without us perfectly.  We returned after 5 days to a happy, well-cared for and well-exercised pup --- and an emaculate house.  Christina knows dogs and helped us with a few Bridie issues.  We got photos and some updates while away. She was flexible and very sensitive to all of our needs.  Chrisrina is the best sitter that we have ever had.

As ever, Charlie was the perfect dog/house sitter - took loving care of our dog and looked after the house and garden as if they were her own; all returned in immaculate conditon!

Lori and Joe took great care of our two dogs and tow cats while we were gone. Our plans changed and we actually asked if they could come a day before we had originally planned to leave and they said no problem!   They even stayed over on the night we got home so that we could meet them which was very nice!

Lori was very good with communication before the house sit and also during the time they were here.  She  let us they had arrived safely and then sent us a short text or pictures every day of the  animals. 

The house looked cleaner than when we left it when we got home!  Lori and Joe were great house sitters and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them!
