Matt and Jo were great sitters. Pumpkin was v well looked after and had lots of fuss and attention while we were away. They're very experienced and it shows - they agreed with us what we did and didn't want and need and made sure we had updates and news. The house was clean and tidy and ready for us when we got back. We'd welcome them back any time - highly recommended. A big thank you to you both!!

Claire and Mark were perfect house sitters, we had lots of videos / photo's of Teddy and Biscuit whilst we were away which was very reassuring. I could see that the dogs were relaxed and happy. We came home to a lovely clean & tidy house. We would be delighted to invite Claire and Mark back to housesit again, as would Teddy and Biscuit!

This was my first experience of using zeewoi and I was therefore nervous, but felt reassured when I saw Janice's excellent reviews. I was right to be reassured. Janice's communication was excellent from the start and as soon as I met her and her daughter Lauren (on the morning I was leaving) I felt certain that my nervous cat would be happy staying with them. I had daily updates which were lovely to receive and Silky was looked after really well. I returned home to a calm Silky and a spotlessly clean house, with the bedding and towels washed. I will definitely use zeewoi and, hopefully, Janice again.

Dave and Michelle are the perfect sitters! Clear communication prior to arrival and throughout the stay, with plenty of lovely updates about how Panda and Mabel were getting on. I felt fully comfortable that Panda and Mabel were really well looked after and the house was immaculate when I returned! I’d love to welcome them both back anytime and would highly recommend to anyone considering house sitters for their beloved pets.

Jen is an amazing sitter, she is always the first person I go to. This time I had trouble getting back so she came the next day to give the girls their breakfast and to oversee some maintenance work. Thank you Jen x

Bex and Bryan looked after our cottage and pets for two weeks whilst we went away. They sent us regular pet up dates and proved very reliable and kind to the pets. We would welcome them again.

Sabrina looked after my two cats and house for a week and was absolutely fantastic. She is very self-reliant and just arrived and got on with everything. One of my cats is quite needy and she took that completely in her stride. The house was left immaculately clean and tidy. If Sabrina is available for future sits I would be really delighted and would thoroughly recommend her. Thank you, Sabrina!

Eve and Marcus gave us an excellent first experience of zeewoi. Before the sit, they were helpful in telling us what was useful for them to know. Whilst we were away, they looked after the cats and house really well. Eve’s updates were reassuring. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. Thank you both!

Jon looked after Jenny & Billy our two dogs while we were away for 10 days. This is the 2nd time Jon has house sat for us and, as before he was fabulous! Jon’s care for our dogs is second to none. He is reliable and communicates well, letting us know what time he will arrive etc. We arrived home to happy calm dogs (Jenny, our collie cross can be nervous and anxious) they clearly enjoy Jon’s company. The house was clean and tidy. As before we would highly recommend Jon to house sit for anyone. We look forward to inviting Jon to house sit for us again soon !

This was Olive’s second sit with Claire and Mike and although we weren’t here for the reunion, I’m certain she was very happy to see them again! They took great care of our house and garden and we knew from experience that Olive was in good hands. While we were away, they sent a picture of Olive out for lunch with them at the pub - after a long weekend walk. A moment when she was clearly living her best life with Claire and Mike! :)

Due to a family emergency, I had to leave the country earlier than I had planned, and needed a sitter to fill in the gap between my departure and another sitter. Michele responded within minutes of my posting the sit, and then we spoke and confirmed the sit within hours. Her husband, Israel, was coming from Mexico to France, while she and her kids were to come from Sweden. When Michele’s travel plans changed, and she wouldn’t be able to come with her children, she assured me that Israel would still come to look after the house and dogs. To do this, for a stay of only five days, he flew to Paris, and then to the south of France, where he rented a car and drove the rest of the way to my place. As I was already traveling, the previous sitters filled him in on the various things that needed to be tended to: caring for two dogs, tending to hens, watering 90 young olive trees daily, as well as other things. The place is big and it took me 3-4 weeks when I first moved in to figure out where things were and what to do. Israel mastered everything upon his arrival, sent me daily updates with photos of my two VERY happy dogs. In addition to all the upkeep, he managed to hike with the dogs daily. I arrived home to find everything perfectly maintained, two fit and and Israel’s guest house cleaner than it was when he arrived. Immaculate. I cannot even express my gratitude for to both Michele and Israel for such a sacrifice and commitment to do that for me. It was a very difficult time, as I was dealing with the loss of both my son and my mother. I did not worry for one second while my dogs and home were in Israel’s hands. Thank you both, so, so much. You’re welcome back anytime, with the entire family, even just for a visit, maybe just a well-deserved holiday, with no dog- or house- sitting!

I was very happy with the love and affection that was very apparent when Travis and Shannon met the pups. I received one picture on my trip and was happy to see Shannon cuddled under a doggie pile. Nothing like seeing your dogs being loved by others as their own. Every thing was in its place when I return which was nice. I also received a welcome home gift handmade by them which was very lovely and made my day.  I highly recommend them as trustworthy and reliable pet sitters to anyone.

We could not have asked for a better house sitter than Myria!  She is kind, personable, organized, responsible communicative and more...She read all of our instructions before arriving and asked lots of questions about our pups to make sure she understood their personalities and schedules.  You can tell she truly is a dog lover.  Myria provided regular updates and we felt 100% confident leaving our dogs in her care.  We came back to a home that was spotless - you could hardly tell she had been here.  I'd highly recommend Myria as your next zeewoi!

We had the pleasure of having Maggie (for the second time) to take care of our home and beloved dog Frida while we were away for 2 weeks. 
We couldn’t be happier! Neither could Frida!
Our big dog is sometimes a bit stubborn and Maggie managed amazingly. 
We had daily photos and video, and Frida was clearly very happy, comfortable and very well looked after. 
We highly recommend Maggie to anyone in need of trustworthy and dedicated house sitter and animal lover

Joe arrived some days before I left, so I could show him some nice places in Switzerland and he had enough of time to learn all about the dogs and how to handle them. He is an amazing nice and an animal/natur loving person who took care of my dog with incredible affection when I was in vacation. I could really enjoy it, because I knew, everything is ok at home. He sent me picutres and I could see, how much fun they have together. He cooked for the dogs, mad a lot of nice hikes with them and huged them, when they need it - so he even got the trust from Artu (as a man really not easy). 
And not only that, he made woodruff punch for me and sowed my tomatoes and spoiled them with melt water. And he helped also the women which looked after the horses and helped her to going walk with them.
Generelly he is super friendly, so everyone in the village likes him.

He is considerate of your belongings and has handed the house back neatly. He is just the best. I'm so gratuful he was here.

So, if you have a chance to get him as a sitter, take it. Your animals will be grateful to you and have a good time while you are on vacation.

Joe, you're not just a dog sitter for me. You were so familiar to me from the first moment. We had a lot of fun and we already miss you sooooo much. I'm really looking forward to see you again in some monthes.

Mikayla was a superb house/dog sitter for us for one full week. She was an excellent communicator, very quiet and tidy (respectful of the space) and best of all she quickly bonded with our big dog Mouse. She cheerfully took her for long walks and shared photo updates regularly. I highly recommend Mikayla.

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.

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!!
