I feel so lucky to have Joshua look Raven and my home again. He provides regular updates on Raven's well-being, including videos and his communication is amazing. I always come home to a clean home and knowing I will be coming back late (or exhausted from sailing) Joshua leaves me the most delicious leftovers which I can't express how grateful I am for :D

Kiwi couple who would love to care for your home and pets.
This was our first experience using cat/house sitters so I was a bit nervous but right from the off Gwenda and Keith reassured me. What a great choice we made! Excellent communication before and during their stay, daily updates on the cats and mad kittens behaviour, with photos. I was completely at ease whilst away, knowing that Gwenda and Keith were doing a brilliant job. The kittens, we are a foster family for a local cat charity, were super friendly when we got back, I know Gwenda and Keith spent lots of time with them. Even my more scardy cat came to them for strokes. On our return the house had been left clean, sheets etc washed and a bunch of flowers. Perfect. If all pet sitters are like this fantastic couple, I'll be going on holiday more often!

Faye kindly ‘held the fort’ for us for a couple of days so we could complete a visit planned before my husband ruptured his Achilles’. Thoughtful, kind and friendly, Faye looked after the dogs, donkeys and hens beautifully and everyone was in great form when we got home. Our place was spotless and everything in place - a perfect couple of carefree days away for us. We are so grateful for Faye’s capable help - welcome again any time! Thank you Faye!

If you get the chance to book Ella and Jonah, I highly recommend you do! They were very kind, reliable, and very flexible when our situation got a little crazy due to wildfires nearby. They took wonderful care of our Vizslas Gunny and Vinny (our boys were exhausted when we got home!) And our home was clean and the plants were well cared for. We only wished they lived closer so we could book them again!

My Expertise and Nurturing Nature Ensure Peace of Mind for Your Home and Pets
Esther was a wonderful sitter. She was very sensitive to our two cats Nala and Lia and immediately gained their trust. She arrived the evening before our departure so that we could explain everything in detail and the cats could sniff her out. That evening it was already clear to us that we could go on vacation without any worries. Updates and photos arrived daily, confirming that our pets were doing well. Esther is a wonderful and warm person. She also took a great interest in my personal fate, which was happening at the time. I don't take this for granted and I am incredibly grateful for this and of course for the great care of our cats, house and garden. We can warmly recommend Esther and hope that we will be able to welcome her back again. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Let me care for your home, your pets and your plants while you're away.
Joyce was fantastic and I think the Mary Poppins of pet sitting!! We’d definitely ask her to sit again in the future. We could see that the dogs loved her and we felt so lucky that she could stay for the whole 6 weeks. I was reassured leaving for the trip as I could tell from the outset that our pets were in very kind and capable hands.

Dawn and her family were perfect house and pet sitters looking after Luna and Tiffany. The house was beautifully clean and tidy when we arrived home and Luna clearly quite happy. She had obviously been exercised well as was very tired and slept a lot on our first day home. We would happily recommend Dawn as a housesitter for anyone wanting kind, reliable sitters

Beverly stayed in our home and cared for our cat Lucy over two weeks. She arrived the day before we left and appreciated getting to know her before leaving the next morning. We got updates with how Lucy was going. She stayed at the house until we arrived at home and we spent another nice day before she returned. She is very likeable, open-minded and humorous. I would love to have Beverly housesit again and highly recommend her.
Sue and Richard were greeted enthusiastically by the dogs ! They sent me pics of the dogs having a good time on the beach . Which is always reassuring. I can recommend them as dog sitters and they arrived on time and were packed up when I got back
Janet and Bob were great to our pups and our home! They were our first sitters so we weren’t really sure what we were getting into, but they made it an awesome experience! They are coming back to stay with our dogs again in August. Definitely trust them with your fur babies!! 🐾🐶
Angela Gandolfo and Erica Piazza came to stay at our house while we were away on vacation for two weeks. Our two dogs are a handful, but these two lovely women took such good care of them. They spoiled them even more than we do, which is perfect. We got photos every day, and when we came home our house was tidy and there were clean sheets on the bed. I couldn't have asked for better house and pet sitters than these two women. They communicated well with us, and if they had questions, they asked. It was a pleasure to work with both Angela and Erica. We had to cut our vacation short because of a death in the family. It was really stressful, but once again, Angela and Erica were flexible and understanding. It made a difficult time easier, knowing that things at home were being managed so well. I'm hoping that if we ever have to go away again for such a long time, I will be able to get these two back here again! (hint hint) Thank you, Angela and Erica!
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!
Brian is awesome - he is simply the best pet sitter and house sitter that we have EVER had and we've had a bunch. He is experienced, thoughtful, respectful, loving, appreciative, helpful, enthusiastic...the list just goes on. Started with our initial call - it was our first sit with zeewoi and he immediately instilled confidence in us in how he talked about his experience and how he saw his role. In the pre-planning, he had great questions for us and helped us to get organized. He was thorough through the instructions, came in a day early to make sure he understood everything about our house and our dog and then followed through on everything. He even drove us to the airport and picked us up on the return. Along the way we were gone, he sent us pictures and kept us updated - always making us feel good about being away and knowing Jorge and the house were in great hands. We had workers coming to fix a fence while gone and some other activity at the house - he was helpful, available, and willing to do whatever was needed to be done. He was self-sufficient and when it came time to leave, he had everything organized and cleaned at the house - he left it in better condition than he received it. We would love to have Brian sit whenever we are away (and in fact will invite him and hope he says yes!) - any one would be lucky to have Brian as their house and pet sitter.
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.
Katie & Kevin jumped in last-minute, as our sitters had to cancel. And what can I say: We couldn't have chosen better even if we would had more choices and time. Katie & Kevin were so easy to communicate with and the first meeting and handoff were so easy and smooth. We could go on vacation with peace of mind knowing our dog and 2 ponies are in the best hands. Katie & Kevin: Thank you so much for looking after our animals so well !!!
Stephanie, Brian and baby Martin took fabulous care of our home and pets for two weeks. From the outset, communication was quick, smooth and friendly and it was clear that both Stephanie and Brian are reliable, professional and warm sitters who take all the various elements of a sit seriously. They kept us up to date with photos and messages, dealt proactively and competently with any unexpected issues that popped up, and most importantly showered our dogs and gerbils with attention and care throughout the time we were away. We returned to a spotlessly clean home (with thoughtful touches of fresh milk, bacon and bread waiting for us) and happy, settled pets. In short, we would recommend Stephanie and Brian to anyone looking for reliable, attentive and proactive sitters for their pets and home. We would be delighted to welcome them back for another sit, should they ever find themselves in the area again.
Alia is awesome and we have used her several times. She is a 5 star rated sitter every time. The dogs are happy and the house is perfect when we get home. She even cooked dinner for our arrival home because we came home late. Highly recommend Alia!!
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!
