Zach is absolutely the best pet sitter ever! My sweet dog bonded with Zach completely- and my dog is the best judge of character! Zach is the most kind and considerate person and very in-tune with pets! I feel so lucky to have had Zach watch our dog twice!!

Kristy, Ryan, and the kids are our go to sitters. They love Bridger as if he was their own. We've been through highs and lows together. There are just not enough words to show how great they are.

We so enjoyed getting to meet Lee & Lyndi. They were kind enough to visit us before we left as they were in between 2 longer sitters. We so appreciated their kindness to our specific need. We are so glad they came and hope they have many fun adventures in zeewoi. Thank you!

It was an absolute pleasure to have Pam and Brian look after our cat, Ollie, and home while we were away. They are very kind, personable and down to earth people. We not only enjoyed having them sit but also enjoyed getting to know and meet with them. They are great at communicating and very reliable. They provided regular updates of Ollie and we could tell they truly cared about our cat. They also provided notes of their stay, detailing anytime Ollie was fed, had a hairball and whenever they were out/home etc, it was a very nice touch that we’ve never had from previous sits. They also left us a very unexpected and thoughtful gift on our return (thanks again!). We came home to a very clean flat (you couldn’t tell anyone had been here) and most importantly, a happy kitty. We could not have asked for more from Pam and Brian and anyone would be lucky to have them sit for them.

No complaints! Poor girl couldn’t do the whole sit she had a family emergency so we found someone to cover for her. She had very good communication. The house was left tidy. I would recommend her for sure.

Had a chance to meet Elle and her family the night before I left and they are lovely. I was a little worried about kids in my old, non-childproofed house but Elle reassured me they are used to living in a variety of homes. When I got back the cats looked happy and healthy which is the best review. Kids were a new experience for them but kids and cats seem to have handled it well. The house was clean and tidy. Elle was very self-sufficient which was good as I only had intermittent phone reception while gone.

Absolutely fantastic sitters! Our home and dog were extremely well cared for. These two made accommodations for us, like meeting in person before our departure, in order for our dog to feel comfortable. They sent frequent updates, left our house spotless, and even had a surprise for us upon our arrival. Would definitely recommend!

Pros: Our kitties were well cared for. Ary offered to stay until we returned when our flight was cancelled--this meant an extra day and a half--which we appreciated. Cons: I want to be fair. The kitties were fine, and they are our first priority. But we also care about our backyard birds, which we requested she care for. When we returned we found all the birdbaths were empty, the hummingbird feeders hadn't been filled with fresh nectar for days, and I'm not sure how much feeding actually got done because of the number of unopened bags of birdseed. Our previous house sitters sent a brief text about the kitties or a photo every few days while we were away. I admit we didn't specifically ask Ary to do this but we were surprised that the only communications from her related to a couple of questions about the house. I don't expect house sitters to be perfect housekeepers but I was dismayed to find dirty glasses in the cupboard. The aluminum cat food cans were not placed in the recycling container, but simply put in the trash. Wooden spoons that I asked not to be cleaned in the dishwasher were in the dishwasher. I had provided instructions on these points in the welcome guide. It was also dismaying that the phone call that Ary scheduled to meet us didn't happen because "time got away" from her. We waited over an hour for her call, which didn't come. Again, it's important to note that the kitties were fine when we got home, and Ary had washed the sheets and dishes.

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.

Brian is absolutely amazing.  This was his third time sitting for us and the dogs love him, he left the house immaculate, and is totally reliable and communicative.  We can’t imagine a better sitter and hope he’ll come visit and stay in touch now that he has moved to the area.

Anita was a wonderful dog sitter for Balto! They were super tentative, made sure to ask any and all questions before we went away, and they sent the best updates about Balto while we were gone. I felt so much better knowing my dog was in great hands, and I could not recommend Anita enough! Quality care, and our apartment was spotless when we returned home.

Theresa is a reliable and experienced pet sitter in addition to being great at keeping house! She was very accommodating in meeting me & the dogs in advance of our sit, which proved she is a true pet person: attentive to my dogs and eager to know how they should be cared for. She kept me posted while I was away & I returned to a tidy home & happy dogs!
I highly recommend her!!

If we could give 10 out of 5 stars for Candace, Brian, and Chris, we would!  They were amazing house and dog sitters for Brown Dog and Scout. They were so accommodating with our timeline and had read our welcome guide to a tee!  It was so reassuring being gone for 2 weeks and knowing our pups were in amazing hands. They sent us daily updates and pictures and it was clear the dogs were so well cared for!  They left the house very clean and even had all of our bedding and towels washed for us when we arrived home. Would absolutely recommend them for a sit and would love to have them back again any time!

Robyn was a great pet sitter and house sitter.  She  went way over and beyond my expectations!!!! She sent a photo of her and my dogs and they were looking at her like they were in love.  And my cats are not very friendly, but she won them over also.  I would highly recommend Robyn as a pet sitter and house sitter.  She is a very sweet lady.  I would love to have her watch my babies again and again.

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 🙂

Wendy was the perfect dog sitter and house sitter for us. She managed our house  and dog and in such a caring a responsible way. Wendy was prompt with communicating with us and managed situations that arose professionally. Our house was spotless and our dog happy  when arrived home. I knew everything thing was in good hands while we were away. I hope we can invited her to stay with us again.

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.

Lynn and Ray were fabulous sitters, going above and beyond to take care of our home, yard, and rambunctious pup. Leaving him for three weeks was very difficult but we felt confident once we met them. They are great communicators, very professional, capable of handling any situation, and personable. Since they are fully self-contained in their van, they arrived a day early so we could show them the place, have our dog Bailey get comfortable with them (that was immediate ☺), and get to know them over dinner together. While on our trip, they sent us daily photos of Bailey, which we really appreciated, and updates on their activities. They took him hiking almost every day and kept him well exercised. 
Any issues that came up (e.g., our irrigation water ran dry a couple weeks in) they communicated to us and we were able to resolve them quickly. They also harvested ripe berries and squash for us and even harvested and dried tomatoes in our dryer. We spent our entire trip feeling assured that all things were being taken care of and feel ever so grateful that we found Lynn and Ray through TH. We returned from our trip to a house that was thoroughly cleaned (better than we left it ☺), with fresh sheets on the bed, and a happy dog. Five-star sitters for sure!
