Lisa was a total rockstar, taking over for the last leg of our multi-month sitter extravaganza. She was super organized, showered the pets with love, and left the house looking better than it did when we first moved in. Highly recommend, and would love to have her back any time. Thanks Lisa!

Becky is simply the best! This was her second time at our home, Egret Cove. This sit, Becky took care of two of our dogs, Hannah and Trixie and our two cats, Cali and Baby Kitty. All of them love Becky and are so relaxed around her. It had been a year since her first sit, but all four were happy to be left in her care. Baby Kitty and Becky have a special bond and she loves Becky so much. From the time that Becky got to our Home until the time that she left, all of our furry family members were happy and content. Becky left the house with everything clean and in its place. Becky is not only a delight for the animals to visit with, but us too. With her delightful personality and easy going outlook we so enjoyed our visit with Becky prior to leaving for two weeks. Becky sent us wonderful photos of the fur family in their daily routines as well as written updates, which always are so reassuring to those that are away from their furry family members. Although we met on zeewoi only last year, Becky is not only a pet sitter for us but a wonderful friend. She will always have a special place in our hearts and is welcome back to sit or visit! 5 stars just seems much too small for a sitter like Becky, so we are personally giving her 10 stars and 100 hearts for being the best sitter and such a lovely person. Until next time Becky!

Brianna took great care of our farm and critters. Cats were very relaxed around her and happy campers when we got home! Her horse care was also wonderful, including giving meds and applying cream on a horse having an allergic reaction. Pandora says, “Come back soon!”

From the moment we spoke with Graham & Jordan, we had complete confidence that our home and most importantly, our pets would be in good hands. They are a lovely couple and are so good with animals. I'm pretty sure our dog wanted to leave with them! We didn't ask for regular updates, but they sent us photos and kept in touch. Rather mortifyingly, our tap in the kitchen decided it would be a good time to spring a leak, and Graham was in touch immediately to let us know and help us troubleshoot remotely. The house was immaculate on our return. We would heartily recommend Graham & Jordan and would welcome them back if they wanted to explore more of Irelands wild west in the future.

It was a pleasure to have Avery as a house sitter. We got pictures and updates daily, the house was clean and tidy on our return, she had fun with our neighbors, and Sunny got plenty of exercise and attention. I would recommend her without hesitation.

Kent and Kathy were just terrific!! They took care of our home as if it was there own as well as taking care of our fur babies. Their communication was spot on, every time we called they answered right away to assure us that Sweet Pea and Rufus were getting along just fine. I can't believe that Kathy even made home made soup that was waiting for us when we returned home. This was so appreciated after being on the road for as long as we were. We can't say enough about how pleased we were of our house sitters. We would welcome Kathy and Kent anytime for a return sit.

Erica was an absolute pleasure! She was incredibly attentive and sent updates and photos of Disco throughout they day. She left my place clean and better than I found it and Disco was acting normal and calm when I returned…a sign of a great sitter! This was my first sitter through Trust House Sitters and I put up the listing on short notice and am so glad I chose Erica :)

Kelly was an excellent sitter for us. She communicated well, before the sit and during the sit. When we got home, the dogs and our guinea pig were happy and well. Kelly was dependable and showed up exactly on time. The house was well maintained and clean when we arrived home. We would definitely host Kelly again.

This is our second time with Jamie and she’s really a great sitter for our dogs . She’s a trusted person, smart. You can leave her your house and pets. Can’t wait to have Jaimie back next summer

Wendy sat for us on three occasions this Summer and I can’t say enough good things about her. The dogs were well taken care of and she was, organized, tidy, and responsible. It’s great to find a house/pet sitter that you can rest easy knowing everything is taken care of. We are hoping she will want to spend more time in the PNW!

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!

Susan and Jim were amazing sitters for my 2 boys whilst I went to Portugal to play golf. Communication we had prior to the sit was excellent, and we were able to discuss the dogs in detail. They arrived the day before I was due to leave so we were able to have a good handover.

They really looked after the dogs well, and my house was immaculate when I returned. I can't recommend them highly enough, just wished they lived in the UK so I could use them on a regular basis. Thank you Susan and Jim xx

Robert and Biljana are absolutely the best sitters you could ever get. We have used them several times already. They have always arrived at the stated date and time. They are eager to receive any and all instructions and will follow them as stated. They keep us informed almost every day on our dogs and send pictures regularly. They always go above and beyond their duties. Robert has fixed a few things around the house without being asked. They buy things for our dogs and have even trained our dogs on certain issues. They made a concerted effort to get to know the neighbors and talked up our dogs to all of them. They will be discreet with any and all information given. We really appreciated all their hard work and effort. They have certainly elevated the bar for the next sitters. Biljana took very good care of our plants and spoiled our dogs to excess. They now expect the same from us!!  We will welcome them back anytime. Hiring them is a decision that will not be regretted.

Tom and Diana were perfect house sitters and guests.  Great company, our dog immediately made herself at home with Tom. Animals loved and cleaned. House spotless, great communication and even left a thank you card and gift when they left.   I couldn’t recommend highly enough.

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!

Ranji was a wonderful pet sitter for my dog Zoe and was very easy to communicate with and kept me informed.  She took wonderful care of our condo and wouldn’t hesitate to have her in my new home in NJ if she wants to check out a new area.

I cannot thank Jenny and Geoff enough for stepping in at the last minute after the original sitter cancelled. They are a great couple, friendly , organised and extremely capable. Also they LOVE animals.  My dog and cat have clearly been given a great deal of care and attention in my absence. 
Jenny kept in touch with notes and lovely photos, Geoff cut my grass and I came home to a spotlessly sparkling house ! Thank you so much! 
Jenny and Geoff are welcome back anytime and I would not hesitate to recommend them as excellent sitters.
