Kelly and Miguel took such good care of Thunder and our house and it made our vacation an absolute joy! We communicated via FaceTime and in person prior to the sit. They are delightful people and we have made new friends😄. This was my first time using zeewoi and it was a great experience. They sent me pictures and updates about Thunder throughout the stay and our house was left immaculate. Thank you so very much for your TLC and our new friendship!

Jessie and Chris are wonderful, interesting people, and took great care of our princess Shanti and our home. Communication before and during was spot-on. The pics of Shanti were terrific! We will gladly invite them for future sits as opportunities arise.

Michael and Faye were absolutely fantastic guests and took wonderful care of Whiskey and our home. They kindly arrived the evening prior to our departure and spent time with Whiskey that evening and the next morning to ensure they were well-versed on feeding, walking, etc. They provided regular updates and took Whiskey on several adventures during their stay. We would happily have them back in the future.

Jennifer and her daughter were superb house and pet sitters! We couldn't have asked for better. They took great care of the cats and the house - something even came up with the washing machine and she was able to fix it. We got lots of photo updates, and the cats seemed happy when we got home. Last but not least, they left our house in top-notch condition...probably even cleaner than we left it! I highly recommend Jennifer.

Laura was an outstanding pet sitter. She took excellent care of my dog and provided needed medication for him daily. She understood the directions of my greyhound's routine and followed then beautifully. He really bonded with her and he slept in her room while we were away. It was so reassuring that Laura was so comfortable with him. She texted me daily to keep me abreast of his activities. She even took him out with her for dinner one night. She was so kind that she left a monogrammed collar sleeve for him. She also left a treat for my boyfriend and I! I only wish that she lived closer to us so that we could see each other on a regular basis and my sweet dog could play with her. Laura kept our house in immaculate condition and her attention to details were really appreciated. A pet owner would be lucky to have Laura sit for their pet. Patrice

Jane and Ed were fantastic pet & house sitters. I couldn't have been more pleased! I got regular updates and photos on all the pets, etc. My cat needed daily meds which they had no problem doing. And my highly energetic large lab was well exercised and happy. I highly recommend them. I hope to have them back another time!!

For travelers, there is nothing as precious as the peace of mind you get when you have fabulous housesitters! Carolanne and Robbie were our first zeewoi and it could not have been a more wonderful experience! In the past when we’ve arrived home from trips it sometimes seems as if our pets act a little funky and nervous for the first couple of days. I always know when a sitter has taken wonderful loving care of our pets when they seem calm and content and happy to see us when we get home! Both pets, super excited to see us, seemed happy and at peace… Although I think our dog misses his new friends! It was great meeting Carolanne and Robbie the night before we left and getting to know each other. An active and keen couple, they were very communicative, took our dog’s medical needs very seriously and responsibly, cared for our home as if it were their own, and obviously gave our pets lots of love, attention and exercise and adventure! It sounds like they all had a wonderful time here in Alaska and we wouldn’t hesitate to have them stay again!

We were so pleased again with Amy’s services for watching Benji and our house over a 3 week period. We got updates, photos and videos regularly and we knew Benji was in good hands, and that he has come to accept Amy as family. We came home to a spotless home and our plants were well cared for and thriving. We look forward to using Amy for future sitting opportunities.

Natalie was an amazing house and pet sitter! She was super easy going and friendly and took great care of our cat, Mars. She played with him and pet him and was very loving and caring. She also sent us daily updates. When she left she washed and dried all sheets and towels and remade her bed and left the house in pristine condition. But the icing on the cake is that after all of that, she was so incredibly sweet as to leave us a bottle of fig vinegar as a gift after we recommended she visit one our favorite oil and vinegar shops. We highly recommend Natalie and would ask her back in a heartbeat!

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

We’re so grateful for the love and care Vanessa gave our two dogs while we were traveling for a weekend. During our trip, she sent us pictures and our dogs always looked happy and at ease. Even during a thunderstorm she cared for our scared older dog who unfortunately had a little accident, and she cleaned up with no complaint. We didn’t have to worry at all which let us truly enjoy our weekend away knowing our dogs were in the best hands!

Vanessa was clean and tidy. We returned home to a neat house and happy pups! She even did the laundry without us asking.

We would highly recommend Vanessa as a sitter for anyone. Thank you so much!!

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.

Ray and Lynn were excellent sitters for Moose! They took him out multiple times a day and always played with him. They sent so many pictures and Moose always looked so happy! They were very flexible on when they arrived and left and very organized. 

The house was left clean and tidy and we found a happy dog when we got home. We would definitely have them back anytime!

Stephanie was fantastic! Very organized and left our house sparkling clean. She also sent daily pictures/messages which we loved receiving. She took great care of our dog and our house. One of the best sitters we’ve had!

Jo & David were absolutely amazing sitters for our house and dog Rosie while we were out of town for 2 1/2 weeks. They are the best! Jo was super communicative and responsive at all times. She and David bonded with our dog, who grew very attached to them. They left our house super clean (and there were even chocolate chip cookies for us on our return)! Most of all, they are just super nice people and very easy to work with. Anyone is lucky to have JoAnna & David housesit for them.

Jamie was a lifesaver!  Our confirmed sitter canceled just greater than 2 weeks out from our trip, and after just a short chat I could tell that she was ideal for our home and dogs.  When we had a Covid exposure just before leaving for our trip Jamie didn't miss a beat.  We did a hand-off of the dogs and home outdoors to keep her safe.  We unfortunately had another exposure just before returning home, so were bummed that we couldn't spend some time with Jamie before she left us.
     Jamie is dependable, organized, and flexible with scheduling.  She is an excellent communicator and sent us the cutest pictures of our dogs.  We knew Teddy and Bella were in very capable hands while we were away. Jamie left our house very clean and with all the linens washed.  She even left a plant and thank you card, so thoughtful!  We would love to have Jamie back at any time to sit for us.  I give her the highest recommendation!

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.

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.
