Mature, responsible, clean, non-smoking couple. Experience with luxury homes
The perfect sitters! They were flexible with their arrival time, enthusiastic to look after our high-energy pets, left the house in immaculate condition, and communicated clearly with us leading up to and during the stay. Highly recommended.

Reliable pet lover.
Karen was one of the most organized sitters. She communicated regularly and did not hesitate to ask questions which we appreciated as it showed her concern for all of our animals. It was a lengthy sit of two weeks and she took amazing care of our home and animals. She was dedicated to making sure the dogs all had exercise and attention and successfully wrangled the goats even though she was sitting solo and had never tended to goats before. TH members would be very fortunate if Karen chooses their sits in the future, she is highly recommended!

Remote worker looking to provide you with excellent care for your pets.
We would give Susan 5 plus stars if possible on all accounts! She bonded with our cat, she took great care of the garden and house and left it cleaner than we did 5 weeks ago. She was easy to communicate with and totally reliable. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a Zeewoi. We would love to have her again next time we travel.

Erin & Bret - adventurous animal lovers
Erin and her family were wonderful. Jake seemed really happy and content. Our house was in great shape when we returned. Erin and Brett are super organized. It’s amazing how active they were while visiting, how well they communicated with us before and during the sit, and how fantastic their kids are. They are welcome back for a sit or visit anytime. Thank you!

Our motto "Just love & everything else will work itself out"
Did you know that amazing and perfection have 2 new synonyms? Yes, Erika Lynn and Manny are them! This was my first sit experience with zeewoi, and I was absolutely thrilled! My house was immaculate! I am embarrassed to say, I thought it was even cleaner than I left it! However, most importantly, their care for Phoebe was clearly evident!!! When I arrived home, I expected her to run to me with joy.... She didn't even care that I was home! It was like I never left, which was exactly what made the sit so perfect!!! I chose zeewoi to save Phoebe from the stress of boarding and travel, and I thought my only concern would be her anxiety over my being gone. Erika Lynn and Manny removed that worry ENTIRELY!! Phoebe is a dog who does not quickly or easily trust strangers and can be anxious in new situations. I was concerned how she would adjust to the transition of strangers in the house caring for her. Phoebe was so relaxed at my return! She was treated so well and so loved by them, that my absence was not noticed. Phoebe treated me as if I just returned from a quick trip to the store. No anxiety. No stress. They provided updates and stayed in touch. I would highly recommend them for any sit. zeewoi is blessed to have them as a part of this community. I am truly grateful for the love and care they gave to Phoebe and to my home!

Animal lovers discovering the US one pet at a time. We can't wait to meet yours!
Myse and Albie are a wonderful couple from Brazil, who will take special care of your pet and your home. I highly recommend them as zeewoi. What struck me the most about both Myse and Albie are their enthusiasm, kindness, intelligence, and reliability. They enthusiastically embraced our city, Buffalo, NY, and made the most out of their stay here -- touring area sites, checking out authentic Buffalo food, and exploring the neighborhood. It made us happy that they were really enjoying themselves. They both are excellent communicators, even though English is not their first language. They answered texts and phone calls in a timely fashion and were careful to make sure they understood all the house and kitty details. We got regular, entertaining videos filmed from our cat's perspective, which were adorable. Our elderly cat seemed very happy and relaxed in the photos and videos, and she was well-adjusted when we got back from our 4-week holiday. We felt confident and secure that our cat and home were in good hands. While living in our home for several weeks, Myse and Albie did an amazing job to staying tidy, keeping the house clean, and taking care of the small flower garden while we were gone. And they did an excellent job of following my instructions on what to do to prepare the house for our arrival back home. They went above and beyond what I asked them to do, including adding decorative touches (like a special way to fold the towels) that I will now incorporate myself. The house looked like it had been professionally cleaned. They even left a special treat for us -- a homemade Brazilian stew that we love. I highly recommend Myse and Albie as zeewoi. They are a delightful couple, who will give excellent care to your home and your pets. I hope that they will be return housesitters if our calendars match up again.

Caring and respectful house sitters and animal lovers!

Prepping for retirement!
Pascale and Will were amazing sitters! Our dog Wallace instantly felt at home with them and he was happy and well cared for when we returned. P&W left our home clean and tidy and even left us a bottle of wine from their adventures in Napa. We really appreciated the updates on Wallace throughout the weekend and felt like we could relax on our vacation knowing everything was in good hands. We'd have Pascale & Will back to sit anytime!

Pet Lover on a Mission
Despite a glitch over the start date Laura was a charming and reliable housesitter who gave Tuppence my Cockapoo a great deal of love and attention and also welcomed two Air BnB guests in my absence . I would happily use Laura again as I felt totally confident in her.
Kathleen was a fantastic sitter and Olive and Noodle miss her already. She was great about sending pictures and updates - never had to ask anything, she always beat us to it. She didn't assume anything that wasn't clearly stated - always asked us beforehand. She was great with our dogs - they immediately bonded with her and didn't want to leave her side. We really appreciated being able to go away and not worry about our pets' welfare, we knew immediately they were being so well taken care of. We hope to host Kathleen again soon!!
Erica watched my senior dog and cat for 12 days while I was traveling internationally. She was organized, responsive, and took excellent care of both my animals and my apartment while I was away. She sent me photos during the stay and my pets absolutely adored her. She has watched my pets before and I always trust her to take excellent care of them. Traveling internationally and leaving my pets in the care of a sitter always makes me a little nervous, since I won't always be immediately reachable. However, Erica's communication and obvious competency made me feel very comfortable about leaving my pets in her care while I was away. It's very obvious she adores spending time with the pets and caring for them. I came home to a clean apartment and very happy and healthy pets. I would highly recommend Erica for any of your sits!
Due to a family emergency, I had to leave the country earlier than I had planned, and needed a sitter to fill in the gap between my departure and another sitter. Michele responded within minutes of my posting the sit, and then we spoke and confirmed the sit within hours. Her husband, Israel, was coming from Mexico to France, while she and her kids were to come from Sweden. When Michele’s travel plans changed, and she wouldn’t be able to come with her children, she assured me that Israel would still come to look after the house and dogs. To do this, for a stay of only five days, he flew to Paris, and then to the south of France, where he rented a car and drove the rest of the way to my place. As I was already traveling, the previous sitters filled him in on the various things that needed to be tended to: caring for two dogs, tending to hens, watering 90 young olive trees daily, as well as other things. The place is big and it took me 3-4 weeks when I first moved in to figure out where things were and what to do. Israel mastered everything upon his arrival, sent me daily updates with photos of my two VERY happy dogs. In addition to all the upkeep, he managed to hike with the dogs daily. I arrived home to find everything perfectly maintained, two fit and and Israel’s guest house cleaner than it was when he arrived. Immaculate. I cannot even express my gratitude for to both Michele and Israel for such a sacrifice and commitment to do that for me. It was a very difficult time, as I was dealing with the loss of both my son and my mother. I did not worry for one second while my dogs and home were in Israel’s hands. Thank you both, so, so much. You’re welcome back anytime, with the entire family, even just for a visit, maybe just a well-deserved holiday, with no dog- or house- sitting!
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
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.
Liz was a fantastic sitter for our boys and took great care of our home. She was a great communicator and kept us informed of what was happening and how our dogs were doing. She also kept our home clean and tidy. We would be grateful to have Liz sit for us anytime!
Lori is the best of the best! I would recommend her 100 times over! Lori is great at communicating and our dogs were extremely happy. She was very attuned to our dog’s anxiety and did a great job making the dogs feel safe and loved. The house was spotless when we returned. Lori also had the job of taking care of my numerous plants. I have to say the plants look better when I got home than they did before I left😂 Lori has a green thumb. Lori is so kind and just a wonderful person. Rest assured if you choose her as your sitter your dog and home are in the best hands. Thank you again, Lori! Blessings!
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! -Allen and Izabela
Romina and Ignas took amazing care of our two dogs and home while we were away! One of our dogs, Beau, is extremely high energy and it takes a special person so make sure he gets enough mental and physical stimulation each day. Romina kept us in the loop of his trips to parks and outdoor excursions. She was very thoughtful and responsive during our time away. Additionally, our home was in pristine shape when we returned from our trip. The rooms were clean and tidy and Romina left us such a thoughtful note. Romina and Ignas are top notch sitters and I'd highly recommend them to anyone with pets! Thank you so much, Romina and Ignas. Our dogs were so well cared for and loved.
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!
