Vicki and Herman were the dream team! Our dogs adored them and followed them up the driveway as they were leaving...we have a big property and loads to do and Vicki and Herman handled it all - the weather wasn't great but they never complained and took every small hiccup in their stride. They even took our dogs to the beach - their happy place! The house was spotless and the property in great shape. They are friendly, kind and extremely efficient. We cannot recommend them more highly.

Kay and Peter were exceptional house/pet sitters. They brought their own dog Barney and our dog Beau bonded with Barney from day 1. They loved their romps every day on the beach. We came home to a spotless house and a delicious home cooked meal. Thanks Kay and Peter for taking such good care of Beau. Gaye

Nick and jane are a delightful couple and did an excellent job looking after our pets, house and garden. They gave us regular updates - I could relax knowing all at home was in their capable hands. The house was clean and tidy on our return and all animals happy and healthy. I would highly recommend them and hope to see them again x

We are very pleased with Roberta and Peter. They are a warm and friendly couple who looked after our pets with lots of love and care. Our dog had a wonderful time playing ball and enjoying lots of walks and was particularly sad to see them go. They were very tidy and considerate in looking after our home and garden. We would happily recommend them as sitters.

Zeewoi… what does that mean? That means you leave your pets and house in the capable hands of someone you trust .That trust for us was developed from looking at past reviews. We chatted to Eugene and Patience before the sit. Patience was due to go back home for the imminent arrival of a grandchild, so it was agreed that Eugene would come alone. We felt comfortable with the chat and agreed the sit. Eugene arrived the day before (Saturday 2nd March) and we had a meal together. We showed him the workings of the house and the routine for the cats. We left the next morning (Sunday 3rd March) for a well earned holiday after 2 1/2 years working on our house. We had a couple of what’s app messages over the next couple of days about the cats, and I asked had he been able to get out and about a bit in the local area. He said he had been to Bordeaux the day before (Thursday 7th March) as recommended by us. We knew he was gone around 9 hours because our external security cameras picked up and recorded him leaving around 8 and returning around 5 which we picked up the next day (Friday 8th March). What we then realised was that there was someone else in the car with him on his return. Also on that day we saw both Eugene and another man leave the house on bikes. In hindsight it did seem strange to us when he arrived that there were 2 bikes on the back of his car. Also some bedding was on show in the back of his car, and knowing he was returning to friends where he came from he could have left a bike and bedding there. We immediately contacted Eugene who was totally gobsmacked that we had discovered his deceit. My question was what does “definitely/absolutely no visitors to the house” which is stated in our profile and welcome pack did he not understand! Eugene then said he is his brother in law but then said he was a mate 🤨 during the conversation who he had picked up in Bordeaux and he would only be staying a couple of days!!! We asked where he was sleeping, Eugene said in our spare bedroom as he had some spare bedding!!! Again in our details it states there is only one en-suite bedroom available to the sitter. We told him in no uncertain terms to get the person (in whatever capacity he was there for) out of our property immediately, only to be told by Eugene that’s rather extreme! Errr no, what was extreme was that he thought he could get away with it not telling us the truth! We also said he should go as well once we sorted out where the cats could go. He advised us later his ‘visitor’ had gone and would we like him to stay on till we were due to return home, he apologised for the ‘stuff up’. No what he realised was that he had been caught out! The answer was a definite no and our friends would be coming by in the morning to take the cats to the cattery (which cost us a lot of money) and collect his keys. Eugene had clearly planned this visit in spite of clear directions that no visitors were allowed. Instead of having a break a few thousand miles away, we had two days ruined whilst sorting out this mess. Eugene’s deceit and arrogance that he could get away with this was beyond belief. I guess our question is how many other people who have had these sitters have had other people brought in by him without their knowledge. It’s difficult enough handing over your home to a stranger who you have only spoken to once on video, but to have total strangers come in without permission is like being violated. Eugene and Patience are simply not Zeewoi he abused our trust.

Jo was an excellent house and pet sitter for our month long holiday. She kept us informed with regular updates of our 2 cats and we returned home to a tidy house and two very happy fur babies. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jo or use her again in the future.

Amazing!! Helen and Barry are awesome. They have looked after our home & pets with all the care and commitment we could ask for. Reliable, easy to communicate with, and above all attention to detail in taking care of our 2 dogs, plants & garden, and home. The lawns were mown and our dogs enjoyed the company of their dog Billy, and it was lovely to arrive home to a well kept home. It's so easy with Helen & Barry, as we can go away knowing that they can manage our home. They have been our housesitters for many years now and we really appreciate their care.

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

Brian is absolutely amazing.  This was his third time sitting for us and the dogs love him, he left the house immaculate, and is totally reliable and communicative.  We can’t imagine a better sitter and hope he’ll come visit and stay in touch now that he has moved to the area.

Kelly was an excellent sitter for us. She communicated well, before the sit and during the sit. When we got home, the dogs and our guinea pig were happy and well. Kelly was dependable and showed up exactly on time. The house was well maintained and clean when we arrived home. We would definitely host Kelly again.

Diane and Les were excellent pet and house sitters. Jet was a very happy dog when we returned and Diane had shared many photos of their days together while we were away on holiday. The house was very clean and tidy when we returned and some milk , bread and sweet treats had been left for us, which were very welcome after our 2 long flights home. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Diane and Les as sitters for your home and pets, everything was done to a high standard and Jet was happy in his usual environment , which is all we wished for. Many thanks to you both.

Wendy sat for us on three occasions this Summer and I can’t say enough good things about her. The dogs were well taken care of and she was, organized, tidy, and responsible. It’s great to find a house/pet sitter that you can rest easy knowing everything is taken care of. We are hoping she will want to spend more time in the PNW!

Romina and Ignas took amazing care of our two dogs and home while we were away!  One of our dogs, Beau, is extremely high energy and it takes a special person so make sure he gets enough mental and physical stimulation each day.  Romina kept us in the loop of his trips to parks and outdoor excursions.  She was very thoughtful and responsive during our time away.  

Additionally, our home was in pristine shape when we returned from our trip.  The rooms were clean and tidy and Romina left us such a thoughtful note. Romina and Ignas are top notch sitters and I'd highly recommend them to anyone with pets! 

Thank you so much, Romina and Ignas.  Our dogs were so well cared for and loved.

Alia is a wonderful furbaby sitter and also a wonderful person.  It is our privilege to have her for the 3rd time.  She keeps us informed, our dogs love her, and she even cooked dinner and left it for us.  The house was perfect when she left.

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!!

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!
