As newcomers to zeewoi it was helpful to be able to invite and meet prospective sitters before our trip. Our top of the list pick was Sheila with her wonderful bio and many shining reviews. We were fortunate Sheila and her partner Dan were willing to come see our home and our two young cats three weeks before our trip. We connected instantly and agreed they would be a good fit to watch our kitties and home while we were gone. This was the first time we have left our kitties for more than one night, so we were a bit nervous. Sheila’s experience in making things comfortable for owners and animals put us at ease. Having she and Dan come to meet the cats beforehand was certainly an added bonus! Sheila kindly asked how often we would like photos and updates on the cats while on our trip. She provided the perfect amount of contact by text which allowed us a chance to offer up a few more tips on our cat’s habits during our travels. We could not be happier with Sheila and Dan’s care of our home and our kitties! What a great experience! Everything was spotless and cared for, our cats had new friends and so did we!

Eric arrived to the house on time, sent updates proactively and left the house exactly as we left it. He even put the sheets and towels in the laundry without being asked before he left. Would be happy to have him sit for us again!

Jan is amazing! We planned our trip quite far in advance and Jan confirmed with us and kept us informed of her travel plans. She came a day early to meet our pup, Poppy, and so we could walk her through the house and get to know her a bit. She was such a pleasure to meet and it was very apparent that she loves animals. Poppy absolutely loved her, and we loved all the updates Jan sent us! Plus photos! Jan left our house in immaculate condition and even washed and folded the sheets! She left us a thank you note and some treats. If you want the best of the best for your pet and home, the best is definitely Jan!

Scott is a dream. Not only did he take great care of our cats and bearded dragon, but he was respectful, responsive, and extremely responsible. He even unboxed some perishables that arrived in the mail and put them in the fridge, as well as washing the sheets and making the bed up for us after his stay. Couldn't recommend him more highly.

It was lovely to welcome Leslie and Allen back to our home. They came to our house 2 days earlier than scheduled as we had some sad news from the UK. They are a lovely couple and we now count them as very good friends. All of the animals were very well cared for and this year has been more of a challenge caring for Percy and Alice because of the amount of rain we have had which makes the grass much richer. So particular care has to be taken because of laminitis and they handled this perfectly. The cats were totally chilled out and not bothered that we had been away. We returned to a spotlessly clean house, much cleaner than we left it! and the garden had been maintained perfect. We now have 2 large lawns to cut so we are so grateful Allen managed to sort these during very challenging weather! It was fantastic to see Leslie and Allen and we would love them to come and stay at ours again. We were able to go on holiday and not have a single worry about our animals or the house. Thank you so so much Leslie and Allen xx

Lisl sat for us for the second time. We were so happy to welcome her back. She takes such great care of our dog. She provide reassuring updates and great photos. She also left our home in great shape for another sitter and did all her own laundry!. We love having Lisl sit for us.

Virginia was excellent, as her previous reviews had demonstrated. We had easy communication before, during and after the sit. She really seemed to "get" Dasha, and she left our house in tip top shape. All was as good as or better than we had left it. She was willing to extend the sit by a couple of days to help us all avoid the Labor Day traffic and that was much appreciated. I would have her back again any time and highly recommend her as a sitter. Thanks, Virginia!

Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

Matthew and Gina were fabulous pet/house sitters! My pup Chica instantly bonded with Matt, as if they were already buddies (which is a rare thing for her to do so quickly with men) which says a lot about Matt's understanding and connection with animals. Likewise, Chica fell head over heels for Gina and her warm interested way, trotting next to her right away as we toured my home and garden in advance to get acquainted. They asked all the right questions, kept me wonderfully informed of their outdoor adventures while I was gone, and left my home spotless and more than ready for my return. I look forward to having Matt and Gina and Chica united again in the future. I more than highly recommend them as very zeewoi!!

David and Elynn were fabulous pet sitters and house sitters. Our dog and rabbit were well-taken care of, the house was left even cleaner than when they arrived! I would highly recommend David and Elynn, and would happily have them again!

David and Elynn took excellent care of our dog Cosmo and our rabbit Oreo. They made sure they were happy, well-fed, and got exercise and fresh air! We were very happy to receive several photos of our furry friends while we were away.

They took amazing care of the house and yard, and were very open with communication. If they were uncertain of anything or had a question, they were very open about reaching out!

David and Ellyn were wonderful houseguests, who left the house even cleaner than they found it!

I would highly recommend David and Elynn and their two adorable children. They are wonderful, respectful people who definitely love animals and will give your pets and home lots of care! Thank you!! :)

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.

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!

Cyndi was fabulous. I'd describe her as the no fuss no muss dog sitter. While some dog sitters need guidance on every little detail, Cyndi was completely self-sufficient. She left the home in perfect shape and totally adored my pup. I'd gladly welcome her back anytime!

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!

Joanna and David were absolutely perfect!!!! This was my first actual time using a sitter and they went above and beyond what I expected.  I have a 1 year old Bully Breed that I adopted 6 weeks ago, so if you know dogs you know what they had to deal with :)) They sent pics daily and kept me updated.  We were not able to meet before I left but they were nice enough to stay to meet me when I returned.  My house was cleaner than when I left, all bedding and towels washed.  Charley, my dog, was happy to see me for a minute when I got home but immediately went back to play with David, so I am thinking she had a blast while I was gone.  I am totally sold with this process after having Joanna and David here.  If you have the chance to book them for your trip, you will not be sorry.  I am hoping to use them again when they return to Florida.

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!!

You could not ask for better house and pet sitters than Ken and Jane! 

Before the sit: Communicating with Ken and Jane prior to our scheduled week went smoothly. They were proactive about planning. They came out to the house prior to the sit and spent a couple of hours going over things about the house, meeting the pets, and getting familiar and comfortable with everything. They were delightful people to meet; I was wishing for a couple of days to just hang out and play tourist with them!

During the sit: Ken and Jane sent me daily updates and photos of their outings with my pups and with their interactions with my kitties. I appreciated how they chose the sit partly because of their love of exploring rural areas, because that's what I have here! They were perfectly suited to my home and pets. Ken absolutely loves cats and is an intuitive and experienced kitty-handler. Jane really bonded with one of my kitties; both of them made great progress with all three of my cats, each of which is pretty shy at first, and one can be a real problem child. They worked very hard to give love to each pet and ensure that each felt calm, happy, and cared for. They spend tons of time outdoors with my border collie/retrievers. The dogs had daily "spa time" after walks and outdoor playtime, having their long fur brushed on my front porch (which the dogs love!). They sent me happy photos every day. If anything came up, they just handled it. They really seemed to enjoy their adventures and the pets each day, which made my time away that much more enjoyable.

After the sit: I was thankful to have some time with Ken and Jane when I returned from my trip. All the pets were calm, happy, and healthy when I got home. Ken and Jane had left me a detailed note about that last day to make re-entry easy. They sweetly left a thank you note and a bottle of wine on the kitchen table also (a very sweet and unexpected surprise!). They seemed quite sad to leave my "kids;" Jane left with tears in her eyes, saying goodbye to my dogs. We've kept in touch since the sit. My whole house really misses them. Oh, and the house was immaculate and plants all watered (inside and out) when I got home! 

If you're looking for kind, competent, caring, organized and responsible people to care for your home and pets, invite Ken and Jane!
