Karen was one of the most organized sitters. She communicated regularly and did not hesitate to ask questions which we appreciated as it showed her concern for all of our animals. It was a lengthy sit of two weeks and she took amazing care of our home and animals. She was dedicated to making sure the dogs all had exercise and attention and successfully wrangled the goats even though she was sitting solo and had never tended to goats before. TH members would be very fortunate if Karen chooses their sits in the future, she is highly recommended!

We would give Susan 5 plus stars if possible on all accounts! She bonded with our cat, she took great care of the garden and house and left it cleaner than we did 5 weeks ago. She was easy to communicate with and totally reliable. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a Zeewoi. We would love to have her again next time we travel.

Did you know that amazing and perfection have 2 new synonyms? Yes, Erika Lynn and Manny are them! This was my first sit experience with zeewoi, and I was absolutely thrilled! My house was immaculate! I am embarrassed to say, I thought it was even cleaner than I left it! However, most importantly, their care for Phoebe was clearly evident!!! When I arrived home, I expected her to run to me with joy.... She didn't even care that I was home! It was like I never left, which was exactly what made the sit so perfect!!! I chose zeewoi to save Phoebe from the stress of boarding and travel, and I thought my only concern would be her anxiety over my being gone. Erika Lynn and Manny removed that worry ENTIRELY!! Phoebe is a dog who does not quickly or easily trust strangers and can be anxious in new situations. I was concerned how she would adjust to the transition of strangers in the house caring for her. Phoebe was so relaxed at my return! She was treated so well and so loved by them, that my absence was not noticed. Phoebe treated me as if I just returned from a quick trip to the store. No anxiety. No stress. They provided updates and stayed in touch. I would highly recommend them for any sit. zeewoi is blessed to have them as a part of this community. I am truly grateful for the love and care they gave to Phoebe and to my home!

Christine was just a wonderful sitter for our sweet Sadie. She can be a challenge, Aussie and Border Collie, but t seemed like she was well under control and everyone had a good time. Our neighbors commented on the frequency of her walks. Thanks for everything.

Normally with a sitter, you worry foremost about your pup's practical needs being met, and it's a bonus if your pup's emotional needs are also met. John was fantastic in meeting KBlue's practical and emotional needs, especially since KBlue's separation anxiety had ticked up a bit recently. Hearing about John's own experience with his rescue, I knew KBlue's rescue baggage would be empathized with, and he was going to be well taken care of. John was also super flexible, going the extra mile to accommodate my travel schedule. By the time I left KBlue in John's care, I was already reassured he was in excellent hands and that reassurance was maintained throughout the sit. Highly recommend.

Janet is the best. She is thoughtful, caring, clean, organized and delightful. I cannot say enough about her. She contacted me with pictures of Sadie now and then to put my mind at ease. Sadie thrived under her care. I came home to an immaculate house and a happy dog. I highly recommend Janet - she's a lovely person and perfect house and dogsitter! Thank you Janet!

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!

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!

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.

Our dog loved Angela, as did we! She was friendly, efficient, handled our large, happy bernadoodle effectively and with love...we could not have asked for a better dog sitter and would be happy to have her back.

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!

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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!
