5-star, highly recommended! Jay was an outstanding pet sitter. Great communication and meet/greet right off the bat. Pet care was fantastic - Sassy kitty adored Jay followed him everywhere and shy Swissy kitty too! Jay made an effort to win over the kitties by creating comfort spots for them, played games, tummy rubs, sent pictures and updates. I felt completely at ease to be away. Jay took care of the house, plants, birds and all responsibilities as well as cleaning everything before he left (totally unexpected). It looked like I never left. Outstanding, exceptional care by Jay! Thank you so much, Jay. I enjoyed getting to know you too.

As a first time user to the app and a generally anxious person- our first housesit was causing me quite a bit of nerves- which all faded the moment I “met” Brittany over a FaceTime call. Her friendly demeanor, experience with animals and openness immediately eased my mind. Brittany is flexible, easy to communicate with and quick to respond to messages. She was instantly friends with our sometimes grumpy elderly dog, and our young dog was thrilled to have a playmate in her little dog, Nala. Our old house has some quirks, and the pool has maintenance all of which she took on without batting an eye. We received updates and pictures over our two week trip and returned to an absolutely spotless house, complete with freshly laundered linens and bath mats. Our animals were calm, relaxed and happy. We would be thrilled to host Brittany again and anyone who has the opportunity to have her house sit for them should consider themselves hugely blessed!

Marcella was a very caring, dependable and reliable house sitter. She has great communication skills and is very organized. She went above and beyond in her care of our two cats. We would be happy to welcome her back to our home at any time in the future to care for our cats or just to stop in for a visit. Thank you Marcela.

I could not have asked for a better sitter! My dog, Hank, has been looking disappointed with me ever since Lisa left and I returned. She clearly took amazing care of him and spent tons of time with him. He's a recent rescue and, I think, a sensitive soul, so the gentle attention and care she gave to him meant the world. She also took terrific care of the house, leaving it immaculate and the plants thriving. Highly recommend!

Unbelievably great experience. I'd award 10 stars not just 5!! I can't speak highly enough of Pat! She amazing from the get go - it was our first time with a house sitter and so we zoomed with Pat soon after agreeing dates and she really put us at ease. Pat reassured us with proof of her flight and trip details and then we kept in touch via Whatsapp. Pat came to stay with us a couple of days before we left and was absolutely brilliant with our dog Bagel. She was literally like a dog whisperer!! ;-) Just the loveliest most thoughtful person, but also relaxed and with a great sense of humour too! We didn't worry once about being away and Pat kept in touch regularly. We came back to the cleanest house I have ever seen!! (Pat had even planted a rose bush for us which had arrived as a gift just before we left!!) Just a brilliant experience from beginning to end. Thank you so so so so so much Pat!! We will keep in touch for sure and hope that one day she will return to us (fingers crossed!) xxxx Gill & Chris & Baggy Bagel xxxx

We were very happy Laura was able to return to sit for us again. She is very good with our older pup and obviously loves animals. She is very responsible and we were able to enjoy our trip knowing that our dog Bella and our home were in capable hands. Once again our house was super clean on our return. Thanks.

Cate was a great sitter for our pets! She was great at communication, showed up promptly in the window she gave us for arrival and left our house the exact way she found it. She went above and beyond anything we asked for including taking Jack on hikes and to the dog park and taking our senior dog for a stroll around the block. I could tell upon our return that all our animals had a really positive experience with her. We highly recommend Cate as a sitter and hope to have her back in the future!

Lauren is a gem. If we could give her a 6 out of 5 for quality pet care, we would. She’s a pleasure to work with, easy to communicate with, straight forward and consistent. Our Scottie, Sirius, adored her within moments of meeting her, and she handled our sensitive dog easily. Lauren is very loving, calm and professional. We look forward to having her sit for us again!

Julia was an amazing house sitter and dog sitter! She sent me photos and updates every day, she took my pup Jordan on long walks and gave him the love, care, and patience that he needs. She was so easy and comfortable to communicate with and she left the house so clean and tidy for when I came back. Definitely recommend her!!!

Eliza was my first sitter after signing up on zeewoi.  I’m Soooo happy to have had her in my home watching over my dogs.  They were very well taken care of and she did everything I asked her to do with the dogs meals and medication. Plus she took excellent care of my home and plants.
If you are lucky enough to get Eliza to stay at your home, you will be so glad it was she who took care of things! 
Very happy 😃

Once again Dede was the most perfect pup and house sitter you could ever hope to have the pleasure of using. She leaves our home cleaner than we left it and our pups so happy that they continue to search for her after she leaves.  Dede handled an emergency situation with a false CO2 alarm which resulted in a visit from the fire department perfectly and we were so grateful!  I feel completely comfortable with her in our home and know she is giving our 2 dogs the very best care. Thank you Dede - you truly are the best!

Jerry gets a five star in every area! We actually connected on the phone before he ever arrived but once he got here, it was like we known each other forever! He was very thorough and how he was going to take care of the dogs and the house!! very friendly with the dogs, and they immediately connected with him!! dogs know when they are💖💖 he arrived early so he could become familiar with Circus and tinker and the house and we had a meal together and quickly became best friends! He sent pictures while we were away and updates. Every day. He was gone by the time we came back, but it honestly looked like he had never been in the house. Everything was perfect just like we left it.❗️❗️❗️ so if you’re looking for a Pet Sitter that is reliable in every way, and you know for sure is going to take good care of your pets this man is the one you want to have come to your home❗️❗️ you won’t be disappointed and I can promise you that💖🎉

Angela provided complicated medical care for my sick dog for three weeks in Mexico City with the utmost professionalism and kindness 

Right before Angela’s arrival, my dog was hospitalized and almost died. Angela took care of follow up vets visits, administered eight medicines a day for two weeks, and nursed tico completely back to health 

I could tell from the photos and videos that she was taking excellent care of him - he was too weak to walk so she made a comfy bed for him in a large bag and carried him a over the city so he could still have fun during his recovery

I could not recommend Ángela more. She went so far above and beyond what a pet sitter should do, and she did it all with a caring and capable attitude

Lisa and Matt were absolutely fantastic sitters for us and our dog, Moose.  
Not only were they flexible when our flight was changed last minute, they also were able to stay an extra day to accommodate the changes.  They communicated with us promptly during the scheduling and planning process for the housesit.  They arrived on time on the (re)scheduled day.  They acclimated to our dog very quickly and gave us piece of mind as we left by taking him on a walk to avoid his separation anxiety.  We chatted every day and exchanged photos of Moose playing at the beach and in the yard.  He was so happy!  No problems were encountered with the house.  Even our neighbors commented on how friendly and kind Lisa and Matt both were and how they really cared for Moose.  
The house was spotless when we returned.  Everything in proper order, better than we left it.  
We can't thank them enough for the excellent experience!

Christina is the best house and pet sitter that we have ever had.  She leaves the house immaculate. She is independent, reliable, and totally professional. Communication is excellent. In terms of pet care, Christina is special.  I think that she is a dog whisperer.  Bridie, our crazy Wheaten, adores her and is sad when she leaves.

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.
