We would love to house-sit your pets for you! (non-smokers)
Lindsay and Cody looked after our 2 kitties Mixa and Kublah and our home for 3 weeks. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Our home was spotless and the kitties chilled and relaxed

Retired professional couple
Richard and Lorraine were fantastic house and petsitters, who kept our energetic puppy well entertained while we were away. In spite of the rising tide of pandemic fear, and a strong (and understandable) desire to head home to Canada, they made sure our pets were well cared for until our return. They kept us well informed with emails and photos, and were also just lovely people. I would invite them back with no reservations.

Myfanwy and Mike were great sitters and provided excellent care for our two moggies and house while we were away on holiday for 10 days. They even washed and dried the towels, stripped the bed when they left, and left us a lovely gift from Canada. Myfanwy provided some good communication before and during the sit, which gave us good confidence. I hope they got to see our community and local sites, would fully recommend Myfanwy and Mike.

Caring counselling therapist available to care for your beloved pets and home!
I was thrilled Katie was available for a last minute overnight sit with Baloo. Katie was available ahead of time to go over the meds and special attention Baloo requires. She was proactive in asking questions and I felt very comfortable leaving her in charge of my big guy and my home. Katie was communicative (sending texts and pics) and I returned to a tidy home and a happy Baloo. I would definitely ask Katie to sit again and I would trust her for a longer sit as well.

Kevin and Erica were amazing! They took great care of our house and cats, and were communicative before, during, and after the sit. They let us know when they were arriving and leaving, sent us a bunch of great photos, and more! Kevin even offered to mow our lawn for us! Everything was super clean and tidy when we returned, and the cats were very happy too. We'd gladly have them back!

We are fortunate Valetta lives in our community as this was the third time she has been able to sit for us. She is familiar with our house and more importantly, the habits and antics of our little Rascal. Her attention was very much appreciated when she noticed he had a Tick attached, and, with the help of a neighbour successfully removed it. Once she told us about the Tick we ordered the appropriate medication which she promptly gave him. We appreciated the sheets she washed for us and having the guest bed being made up. As usual, communication was good and we came home to a clean house. Thanks once again, Val, for your quiet, caring manner.

Devoted menagerie managers!
This was our first house-sitter experience. Bay & Guy were amazing! We held two zoom calls with them prior to coming to our home and immediately put us at ease because they understood our needs. We instantly warmed to them and our gut instinct was that they were the right people for us. It turned out right as they were excellent carers for our dog (Buddy) & cat (Memphis). They provided regular updates with photos and our pets loved them. Upon our return home, we found our house spotlessly cleaned. Even our garden had been tendered to and pool maintained daily. We couldn’t have wished for better house-sitters so would not hesitate to ask them to house-sit for us again. We highly recommend Bay & Guy to anyone considering them. We returned home to 2 happy and well cared for pets!

Quiet, experienced lover of the outdoors available to lovingly care for your ani
Pablo, from the outset was a breath of fresh air. He respected and cared for our home and 2 dogs for approximately 3weeks. He kept in touch and when we returned we could tell that the dogs had grown extremely fond of him, our home was clean, and our neighbor loved interacting with him. I would glady have him housesit again.

Our sweet Bella swallowed a one-inch piece of glass while in the care of Nicole and Richard. She threw it up, however, some complications (cuts in her throat most likely) persisted. While Nicole and Richard are not responsible for her eating the glass, I was disappointed with the way they handled this emergency. Rather than calling me instantly, which is protocol, they called zeewoi then googled how to handle the situation. My immediate concern was that Bella may have swallowed more than one piece of glass and it was traveling through her digestive system. By the time I was contacted, the vet could no longer see Bella because it was the end of the day. However, the vet advised me that Bella be taken to the emergency vet hospital immediately. There was a long wait at the emergency hospital and after many hours Nicole and Richard were irritated and wanted to go home with Bella. I called the 24-hour Vet provided by zeewoi (an excellent service!) and she told me Bella should definitely stay at the emergency clinic and see a vet asap. This incident occurred within days of Bella being in Nicole and Richard’s care and they seemed surprisingly cavalier about the seriousness of the potential consequences and did not detect the ongoing problem with her swallowing. Additionally, I was disappointed to return home at 10:30pm after a long day of travel to find that Nicole and Richard had not moved their car from my parking space (I searched for street parking but eventually paid for parking for the night), had not moved their stuff (a lot of it) from the apartment, and had not completed the laundry (I had no towel). I arrived at the pre-arranged time, so I am uncertain why they were unprepared for my arrival. Also, I spent time cleaning the next day. Nicole and Richard are very nice, and I like them. Nicole was excellent at communicating daily with photographs. I would, however, recommend other pet owners carefully review emergency protocol and expectations regarding state of home upon return, if asking Nicole and Richard to care for their pet and home. And keep in mind, that this was an extraordinary and pretty extreme incident. This may be a one-off experience, and I hope whoever is considering Nicole and Richard will ask their own questions.
Maryna was an excellent pet sitter and houseguest! Communicating with her was easy, and she always responded to my messages quickly. She was also incredibly self-sufficient! Moreover, Maryna graciously agreed to check on my neighbor's cat for a couple of days as well. My dog bonded with her quickly and was happy and healthy when I returned. The house was also spotless. I would happily have Maryna sit for me 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.
Denise was by far the best pet sitter we have ever had! She watched our two pups while we were gone for 3 weeks and took amazing care of our dogs and home. She took the time to ask questions and make sure she understood each dog’s needs as well as how to take the best care of our house before we left. She sent videos everyday updating us on how the pups were doing. We were so happy to see how much quality time she was spending with them and how much they loved her. Our dogs were so sad to see her leave and we can’t wait to have her back. Denise made sure that the house was in perfect condition when she left and treated our home as if it were her own. If you are looking for a pet sitter, look no further. Highly recommend Denise!
Hamsa was very quick to respond in all communication. She was prompt on her arrival and listened carefully to our detailed instructions about the house and dogs. While we were away the amount of communication between us was just right. When we arrived home the dogs were happy and the house was in order. A good sign that a dog sitter paid lots of attention to the pups is when we see a bit of depression set in after a dog sitter departs - this did occur after Hamsa left our home She is a very caring and nurturing individual.
Piper was a wonderful sitter and I would definitely have her come again. My dog .Winston loved her and was very happy while I was gone. When I returned home everything was orderly and clean, she changed her bed and washed all the towels. I totallly recommend Piper to sit at your home.
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.
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.
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!
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.
Angela was fantastic. She came a day early to meet us and our dog Bella and to get the lay of the land and we so enjoyed meeting her and getting to know her! She took care of our home and Bella with the utmost care and attention. She was great to communicate with throughout the sit and we felt confidant being away knowing our dog and home were in such good hands! We returned to a clean house and she even prepared dinner for us! It was clear that Bella was happy, well taken care of and very fond of her!! We would definitely recommend Angela. She was a reliable sitter and a delightful person all around!!
