Branko was looking after the animals and the house while we were away. He was excellent at sending kind photos and videos of the animals throughout our time away. Nothing was too much trouble and our staff who were on site for some of the time enjoyed having him around. Branko had to cope with some pretty difficult situations regarding our new alarm system which was playing up and some inclement weather that brought in some big storms and brought down power cables. Unexpected power outages on top of loadshedding in South Africa are an added trial to content with. We were able to go away and not worry about anything really and it was so gratefully appreciated.

Natasha (Bianca's sister) and Martina were AMAZING! This is the first time I have had a dog sitter and I was a little apprehensive. However, Natasha sent almost daily photos and videos of our precious bundle, which we really appreciated. Rigby received LOTS of playing and walks, they have a genuine love of dogs. I know Rigby will miss them. In addition, they were excellent at sorting out house issues. They were very calm and efficient at arranging repairs when our washing machine and electric gate decided to break down! After a review, I would normally say, I wouldn't hesitate to use their services again "... however, I am going to pre-book them for next summer! We were very grateful for their high level of professionalism and kindness. Lovely people. Thank you!

As this was the first time we had tried zeewoi, we were a little nervous but we really needn't have been. Rahul & Derisha are a lovely couple who took great care of Bryn and of our house and garden. As soon as Rahul arrived, Bryn put his head in his lap wanting his head stroked and that was all we really needed to see to be able to go off happily on our travels. We would happily welcome them back anytime: thank you Rahul & Derisha.

Bentzy looked after our furry family for us from October 17 to November 8th. All were in good shape when we got home, which is what is most important to us when we have a house sitter. He kept us well supplied with pictures and videos. The house was well looked after. Bentzy also tolerated the idiosyncrasies of our Defender with an open mind.

Keli and Jed were amazing! They sent us pictures and updates of the dogs, which showed that our dogs were very well looked after and felt right at home with Keli and Jed. We were out of signal most of our trip, but knew that the dogs were in great hands. Upon our return, they had walked the dogs, cleaned the house and left the garden (with zero poos) in amazing condition! They even sweetly left us a meal in the fridge for our night back after a full day of driving. The dogs were also in great condition and very happy when we got back, obviously well loved and taken care of. Would definitely recommend them and would love to have them back in future!

Barbara and Andrew were fantastic house sitters. Communication from the beginning was easy and all plans that were made were adhered to. We spent a very happy evening with them before our trip and we knew that we had left both the animals and house in very good hands. They loved taking Wiggins for walks, exploring the local area, and they were intrigued by Totty the Tortoise. They had never looked after a tortoise before but embraced the challenge! The house was left in an immaculate state, the garden was well tended to and a delicious supper was waiting for us on our return. Not only that, but there were flowers around the house and a clean car in the drive. You would be lucky to have Barbara and Andrew as your house sitters and we highly recommend them. We wouldn't hesitate to use them again in the future.

Kathleen was a fantastic sitter and Olive and Noodle miss her already.  She was great about sending pictures and updates - never had to ask anything, she always beat us to it.  She didn't assume anything that wasn't clearly stated - always asked us beforehand.  She was great with our dogs - they immediately bonded with her and didn't want to leave her side.  We really appreciated being able to go away and not worry about our pets' welfare, we knew immediately they were being so well taken care of.  We hope to host Kathleen again soon!!

Sharon was an excellent sitter who I knew was taking great care of my two dogs while away. She walked them, was a clean guest, and sent regular pictures and updates. I’d recommend her to anyone.

This is our second time welcoming Michele and we were so happy to have her back! Our dogs Pedro and Samantha love her and it is clear she loves them! Our house was immaculate upon our return and Michele made her famous lemon chicken recipe which we gobbled up and then we asked for the recipe. We can't say enough great things about her and hope you are lucky enough to get her as a sitter for your pets.

Wendy was the perfect dog sitter and house sitter for us. She managed our house  and dog and in such a caring a responsible way. Wendy was prompt with communicating with us and managed situations that arose professionally. Our house was spotless and our dog happy  when arrived home. I knew everything thing was in good hands while we were away. I hope we can invited her to stay with us again.

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.

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.

Melissa and Chris are amazing.  We are very picky about our dog sitters, and we chose them because they have been doing this for a long time and track your wants and needs carefully and follow through with utmost care and integrity.   They offered to come the day before we left to meet Winnie so that we could rest in that she would trust them and connect to them.  Honestly, we would hire them as our only dog sitter all of the time if we could.  I cannot thank them enough and say enough good things about them.  They also took very good care of our house and  plants.

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!
