Michelle and Rob were wonderful, beyond words. We totally enjoyed spending some time with them before the 'sit'. They were relaxed, vibrant, grounded, conscientious and very responsible human beings. They were attentive to details and left the house perhaps the CLEANEST it has ever been (including when we are here). Their communication was great and the cats were very well cared for. We trusted them completely and we would not hesitate (and will reach out) to have them come again.

Nichole was communicative, sweet and did a great job caring for our four cats and fish, including our 17 year old senior cat who needed medication. She even helped organize the repair of our garage door handle while we were out. She left our house tidy and clean, I would recommend her. :)

Vicki was terrific. She met with me beforehand and within seconds, one of my cats--Sashimi-- crawled into her lap and stayed there the rest of the visit. She showed up when she said she would and competently took over cat-love. We enjoyed the picture she took of our frolicsome cats. She was very polite and respectful. The house looked as clean as we had left it. We were super pleased with Vicki. She genuinely loves animal and is extremely conscientious!

There are simply not enough accolades to describe Patricia. She is hands down the best sitter you will ever find. If you are lucky enough to have her apply to sit for you- grab her!!

Patrick is a very interesting, calm and patient man. He took great care of our dogs and they in turn had bonded well with him before we left for our vacation. They were very comfortable to be at home with him and and the gentle walks he took them for twice a day were relaxed. He sent regular videos and photos so we were knew they were having fun. thanks Patrick. Hope you had an enjoyable trip to Ireland, safe journey home to Minnesota.

It was a pleasure to have Andrea sit for us. She took excellent care of our home and pets (2 cats and 2 hamsters). Before the sit she was very happy to talk and provide all the information and reassurance we were looking for. She was easily contactable both before and during the sit, providing updates as requested. At the end of the sit we really appreciated coming back to a clean and tidy home. We'd be extremely happy to welcome Andrea back to sit again in the future!

It was a pleasure meeting Melinda and having her take care of our home and pets. She was very easy to connect with before our trip and kept us updated while we were away. We were delighted to see that she gave plenty of love to our two pets, Morris and Skittles, which allowed us to enjoy a worry-free vacation. Upon our return, we were pleasantly surprised to find our house immaculate, making the transition back home effortless. We highly recommend Melinda and would be thrilled to welcome her back if she returns to this area! Sincerely, Mary-Ann & Myron Morris & Skittles Calgary, Alberta Canada

Cayla is great! She’s well organized, communicative, friendly, and detail oriented. All of our dogs (2) and cats (3) warmed up to her quickly and enjoyed spending time with her. She’s very thoughtful and intentional. She took great care of the space. Would highly recommend! We really enjoyed meeting her.

Maria overslept for our 10:30 am meet and greet. We were having difficulty with mechanical issues so we were delayed in leaving (by hours). Once I communicated we were on our way out it took her two hours to get here. She lives 20 minutes away. Repeatedly over 5 days she did not follow written, verbal and visual directions. She said she would communicate daily regarding the dogs. 2/5 days we rcvd this and it was late into the eve. She was wondering why the dogs were not eating their food well. It was because she did not add broth to their kibble. (The jar of broth was as full as I had filled it before leaving). As far as house sitting, there was a stream of chicken broth and animal blood coming from our freezer which is immediately next to the garage door from the house into the garage. We lost $300+ of meat. I told her I would pull the garbage cans out of the garage to make it easy for her to get them to the curb the next day. We returned home and she left them by the garage. Two of our neighbors saw this and pulled the recycling can to the curb and back to the house. The garbage had come and gone already. She did not fill the bird feeders and water the outdoor plants sufficiently. She seems to be a nice person but in our opinion she was not a good house/pet sitter. We have had great ones before.

My dog had a medical emergency while in John’s care and I credit him with saving my pup’s life. You couldn’t ask for a better sitter in a pressure situation. He also communicated regularly during the stay, keeping me posted on how my pup was doing. Would recommend John to anyone who needs a sitter they can trust.

Emily  and  Chris were absolutely incredible house and pet sitters. They took care of our dog and two cats for 10 days and were some of the best sitters we've ever had. They took amazing care of all three animals -- giving medicine to our aging dog and managing to befriend our very shy cats on day one.  We received adorable picture and video updates each day and it was clear that the pets loved spending time with them. Additionally they left the house in pristine shape and were incredibly diligent in all aspects -- bringing in packages, taking out the trash and recycling, etc.  I can't recommend them highly enough!

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!

Amara was a WONDERFUL sitter for our home and our dogs for the weekend. We were so comfortable with her being in our home, and she provided regular updates and photos of our babies. The house was clean upon arrival home - we would have no hesitation recommending her to others and hope she would consider coming back to spend more time with our dogs!

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.

Delphine was amazing. All 3 of our fur babies took an instant liking to her, which is very unusual of them. We right away knew both our cats and our dog would be happy with her. We came back to relaxed and happy pets and a clean house. We  think we found our ‘go to’ house sitter with Delphine. We would love to have her over 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.

Veronica House sat for us for a month.  She cared for our two Dobermans and our cat.

Veronica is so enthusiastic about animals.  They immediately pick up on her joy and love for them.

When some bold alligators made our dogs’ normal exercise routine unsafe,  she was faced with the challenging situation of keeping two Dobermans with very different temperaments exercised and entertained in the height of Florida summer with its bugs, heat, and humidity.  She met this challenge by taking the dogs for individual outings. She drove our young social dog to the dog park, finding the times when he would most likely have other large playmates and drove our socially anxious dog to the quiet areas of town for walks.  This took a lot more time than our normal routine, but it kept our dogs safe and happy.

A lasting benefit for us is that our younger dog, once a terror in the car, now rides much more calmly and our anxious dog, once fearful of what the car ride would bring, now happily hops in.
 
Our cat was so content and well-groomed​ upon my return, it was obvious that she had been getting lots of daily attention,  too.

Veronica communicated with us on all the happenings with our pets and property every day.

I came home to happy and healthy pets and a well cared for home.

We feel so fortunate to have had Veronica as a house sitter and look forward to her sitting for us again.

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!
