Chris & Alan are excellent House Sitters we were just so lucky to have them stay. Thank you for choosing us! We appreciated that they agreed to spend a night with us before we left for our trip the next morning, consequently we headed off very happy and confident leaving our beautiful fur babies with Chris and Alan. Chris sent lots of photos with a daily update which I love, thanks Chris. We arrived home to very happy excited fur babies and our house was spotless. We would love to have them back and we wish them well with their travels and future house sits.

Debra looked after our two cats with such care and was a fantastic house sitter. Our cats were happy and chatty when we returned, the house was gleaming and the way Debra got to know our cats for a short stay was amazing. Thank you for communicating so well before, during and when leaving. You gave us such peace of mind while away.

We have been home a few days and am still overwhelmed about everything Mark and Julie did for us! We went through all that needed to be done the previous day of them staying and had dinner together. We found them to be the most interesting, genuine, kind people, so felt very comfortable leaving. While away we knew they were more than competent and would communicate and do what we would want if a situation arose, which they did! One of our dogs was sick, they took him to our vet, let us know and picked him up the next day. Our Vet informed us they were wonderful and we are very grateful. We have dogs, cats , 2 calves, 2 Ponies, baby lamb still on bottle, chooks and a cocky, all animal area's were clean and tidy, they got a new bale of hay and tied cover over it. It was the most organised it's ever been! We arrived home to an immaculate house, flowers, Pikelets jam and cream. So appreciated as we had the 1 am flight and then two and a half hours drive home! We have 4 cats who are timid but were all inside and as relaxed as I have ever seen and our very attention seeking dog was laying on lounge, head on Mark! I also have to mention Mark cleaned our glass in our fire place which we have tried but never came up sparkling like this! Needless to say we are so appreciative and happy with Mark and Julie, anyone who is lucky enough to get them will be able to relax and enjoy the experience of having this couple! Thank you Mark and Julie, happy travels!

This was the first time we had used Zeewoi, and I’ll be honest I did have some apprehensions about strangers not only being in our home but also about looking after our precious dog. However, from our first video call with Andrea & Mark, my husband & I felt at ease with them coming into our home and looking after not only our home & garden, but also our beautiful dog. Andrea & Mark were very considerate of our dog’s cheeky but chilled personality, and I know from the photos we received our dog was more than comfortable with them staying in our home and spoiling her with love and affection. It was a delight to arrive home & find the house spotlessly clean with some treats waiting for us and a very happy puppy dog to great me. I have no hesitation in recommending Andrea & Mark

This was the second time that Lara & Braydon sat for us (the previous sit was in November 2023) but this time it was for a month rather than a fortnight. All of the things I wrote about them before applied this time around too, only they were even better. For starters, they did a lot more around the house and garden including cleaning, planting and mowing. Unfortunately Lara had covid for a week early on, but Brayden still took the dogs out daily for walks. Then towards the end of the sit they came down in the morning and found one of our dogs (Iolo) seriously ill due to suspected poisoning. They immediately drove him to our local vet and phoned us on the way, and very efficiently dealt with the vet including taking Iolo to an emergency overnight veterinary practice some distance away and collecting him early the following morning, and paying the emergency vet's bills (for which we reimbursed them of course). Once Iolo was back home they administered medicine for the rest of the week, looked after him and kept notes of everything for us. We cannot thank them enough - their prompt actions almost certainly saved Iolo's life. We would have no hesitation in recommending Lara and Brayden and would love it if they could sit for us again in the future.

Jasmine is a five-star sitter.  She is everything you want in a sitter when you go away and leave your beloved pet and home.  She is reliable, communicative, respectful, and flexible.  We had no worries about our dog or home while we were away, and will be having Jasmine sit for us again soon.  Our home was immaculate when we got home, and our dog was obviously well-cared-for.  Can't say enough good things about this wonderful human.

Brian was great and was my first sitter experience through TH to look after my two little dogs and one of them was a recent rescue I had for a month and learning new things and still training. Brian was good with communication, clear about his travel plans and we managed adjustments to him coming in early by a day. This was helpful for me to feel I can personally give orientation to my home and pets before leaving for a few days. Brian was also good with the hand-off to my next sitter when weather conditions delayed me. I came back to a tidy home and happy pets. Brian was calm with my new pup's minor furniture destruction. Thankfully I bought the warranty! I would recommend Brian to anyone and would consider him again for future sits!

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.

I’m sure most folks say the nicest things about their sitter, but honestly, if there were a “super star” status available then Denise would win the prize as sitter of the year!

From the start, Denise was an excellent communicator.  While we were still in the decision phase, Denise was always available to chat either by FaceTime, telephone or text.  It was so easy to choose Denise; as you can see from her countless 5 star reviews, she truly is the only pet sitter you’d ever need and the one everyone hopes to have.  

Denise came to our house eager to meet us, our pets and the quirks of our house.  Denise has an excellent sense of humor and immediately put us all at ease.  Our pets took to her as if she was a long lost friend (even our finicky Siamese cat was loving on her from the start).  

While we were gone, our dog had a non-emergency health issue come up and just like that Denise was taking her to our vet, and administered the dog’s meds like a champion (Denise is also a nurse BTW).  Additionally, Denise brought our pup to her scheduled groom appointments and even made future appointments for us to make our return home as seamless as possible.

Denise was even above and beyond helpful to our neighbors and they appreciated her giving them access to our refrigerator when theirs broke down on Thanksgiving Eve!  

When we got home we were super impressed by how perfectly immaculate our house was!  Most sitters leave the house clean, but Denise met and may have even exceeded our military standards of clean and orderly.  Seriously, our house felt like we never left it.  Everything was spotless, shinny and clean.  She didn’t miss a beat!!  Our pets were so happy to see us but honestly, I felt like our pup and kitty were disappointed when we walked in the door (I believe they were expecting to see Denise!).  Haha.  

If you are ever fortunate enough to have Denise apply for any of your sits then I can’t recommend her enough.  Seriously, you can stop reviewing applicants and just go with Denise.  She was awesome in every sense of the word and I hope she’ll come back and stay with our pets again.

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!

Robyn was a great pet sitter and house sitter.  She  went way over and beyond my expectations!!!! She sent a photo of her and my dogs and they were looking at her like they were in love.  And my cats are not very friendly, but she won them over also.  I would highly recommend Robyn as a pet sitter and house sitter.  She is a very sweet lady.  I would love to have her watch my babies again and again.

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!

Shannon and Travis stepped up at the last minute when an earlier sitter canceled. Shannon and Travis took care our our large brood of animals for two weeks while we were out of the country over the Christmas holiday. They kept us informed about what was happening with the animals and our home. Our dog Pepper doesn’t like most people, but loved Travis and Shannon immediately. I would not hesitate to welcome Shannon and Travis back for another sit. They are very honest and friendly people. Their dog Dime is also awesome.

Oh my Goodness!  Where to begin.  Linda was the perfect house sitter for us and the perfect pet sitter for Olivia!  She is one of the nicest people you will ever meet.  When we returned from out two week vacation all our plants were alive, the garden was alive, the birds and fish had been fed regularly, and the dog was alive and happy!  What more can you ask for, right?  Well with Linda you get all that and more.  Updates as you request - even videos of her morning walks with Olivia.  The house as spotless as we left it, maybe even better! Even the porches were clean!  Linda is a genuine treasure and our recommendation would be 10 stars if there were that many!!
