Cozette and Roger were great cat sitters. They were communicative throughout our trip and kept us updated with regular messages and photos. I felt completely comfortable leaving our home and Fergal in their care and Fergal was happy and relaxed when we got home. I would highly recommend Cozette and Roger to anyone looking for a cat sitter. They are the perfect choice for anyone who wants their cat to be well-cared for while they are away.

It was lovely to meet Mira and Nigel after months of being in contact by email. We were able to have a good hand over to them before we left for our holiday. Thanks also to them for handing over to our new sitters who arrived for a further two weeks - much appreciated. We will definitely keep in touch and they are welcome to visit us anytime in the future.

Jo looked after our House and cat Tabby for 2 weeks, she was fantastic. From the first contact she communicated regularly and we felt confident in her sitting. On our return Tabby was happy and healthy, the house clean and my plants looked more healthy than before we left! She very kindly cooked us a lovely dinner on our return which I much appreciated after the long flight. We would be very happy to have Jo sit for us again.

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

Noeline appeared in the form of an angel & developed such a deep bond with all the animals in such a short span of time, it was truly remarkable. Never have I had such peace of mind while being away on a long-term travel plan. She went over and above the list of tasks .. to the extent of even passing on the baton to our next house sitter with a warm welcome and ensuring the smoothest of transitions. I was kept informed throughout her stay, all the animals were loved dearly, fed exceptionally well, on time, and their well-being was always at the forefront. Thank you for all you’ve done, Noeline.. Was an absolute pleasure and You’re always welcome here.

Rob & Hannah Cared for My Precious Felines Bella & Sasha & My Home Beautifully! They had a couple of significantly difficult situations to deal with. Bella was sick and required a vet visit. Bella is definitely a one person cat and does not warm to anyone else on this earth accept me! They delivered care and thoughtful consideration to Bella despite this fact and they enjoyed the Warm, Precious engagement with Dear Sasha who loves Cuddles & Snuggles so so much. I would not hesitate to have Rob & Hannah Housesit for me again if they are ever in Australia again. I received a home cooked meal on arrival home and the House was both clean and tidy. Thankyou so Much Your Both Simply Amazing 😻 🐾😻🐾💖

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.

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.

Liz was a fantastic sitter for our boys and took great care of our home.  She was a great communicator and kept us informed of what was happening and how our dogs were doing. She also kept our home clean and tidy. We would be grateful to have Liz sit for us anytime!

Emily  and  Chris were absolutely incredible house and pet sitters. They took care of our dog and two cats for 10 days and were some of the best sitters we've ever had. They took amazing care of all three animals -- giving medicine to our aging dog and managing to befriend our very shy cats on day one.  We received adorable picture and video updates each day and it was clear that the pets loved spending time with them. Additionally they left the house in pristine shape and were incredibly diligent in all aspects -- bringing in packages, taking out the trash and recycling, etc.  I can't recommend them highly enough!

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!

Lynn and Ray were fabulous sitters, going above and beyond to take care of our home, yard, and rambunctious pup. Leaving him for three weeks was very difficult but we felt confident once we met them. They are great communicators, very professional, capable of handling any situation, and personable. Since they are fully self-contained in their van, they arrived a day early so we could show them the place, have our dog Bailey get comfortable with them (that was immediate ☺), and get to know them over dinner together. While on our trip, they sent us daily photos of Bailey, which we really appreciated, and updates on their activities. They took him hiking almost every day and kept him well exercised. 
Any issues that came up (e.g., our irrigation water ran dry a couple weeks in) they communicated to us and we were able to resolve them quickly. They also harvested ripe berries and squash for us and even harvested and dried tomatoes in our dryer. We spent our entire trip feeling assured that all things were being taken care of and feel ever so grateful that we found Lynn and Ray through TH. We returned from our trip to a house that was thoroughly cleaned (better than we left it ☺), with fresh sheets on the bed, and a happy dog. Five-star sitters for sure!

I was fortunate to have Lisa as a sitter for my active, 7-year old lab mix (Ozzy) for a week in Bend.   Lisa took the time to meet us via Facetime and in person before her stay.  It was apparent she wanted to be well-prepared and aware of any special doggie needs he may have, or any help I needed with watering plants or bringing in mail.   She took great care of Ozzy while I was away and sent me regular updates and photos of their outdoor adventures.  I returned home to a very happy dog and a house exactly as I had left it.  I'd welcome Lisa back anytime!

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!

Liz did an amazing job babysitting our home and our pets (3 cats and a dog). Communication with Liz was easy and we felt at ease knowing that everything was being taken care of. Liz took our dog Summer for daily walks and kept her entertained. We got regular photos of our pets which were great.
She even looked after and watered many of our outdoor and indoor plants! She was very tidy and our home was left spotless. If you are looking for a sitter we can't recommend Liz highly enough!

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!

You could not ask for better house and pet sitters than Ken and Jane! 

Before the sit: Communicating with Ken and Jane prior to our scheduled week went smoothly. They were proactive about planning. They came out to the house prior to the sit and spent a couple of hours going over things about the house, meeting the pets, and getting familiar and comfortable with everything. They were delightful people to meet; I was wishing for a couple of days to just hang out and play tourist with them!

During the sit: Ken and Jane sent me daily updates and photos of their outings with my pups and with their interactions with my kitties. I appreciated how they chose the sit partly because of their love of exploring rural areas, because that's what I have here! They were perfectly suited to my home and pets. Ken absolutely loves cats and is an intuitive and experienced kitty-handler. Jane really bonded with one of my kitties; both of them made great progress with all three of my cats, each of which is pretty shy at first, and one can be a real problem child. They worked very hard to give love to each pet and ensure that each felt calm, happy, and cared for. They spend tons of time outdoors with my border collie/retrievers. The dogs had daily "spa time" after walks and outdoor playtime, having their long fur brushed on my front porch (which the dogs love!). They sent me happy photos every day. If anything came up, they just handled it. They really seemed to enjoy their adventures and the pets each day, which made my time away that much more enjoyable.

After the sit: I was thankful to have some time with Ken and Jane when I returned from my trip. All the pets were calm, happy, and healthy when I got home. Ken and Jane had left me a detailed note about that last day to make re-entry easy. They sweetly left a thank you note and a bottle of wine on the kitchen table also (a very sweet and unexpected surprise!). They seemed quite sad to leave my "kids;" Jane left with tears in her eyes, saying goodbye to my dogs. We've kept in touch since the sit. My whole house really misses them. Oh, and the house was immaculate and plants all watered (inside and out) when I got home! 

If you're looking for kind, competent, caring, organized and responsible people to care for your home and pets, invite Ken and Jane!
