Belinda
Guanacaste, Costa Rica
Experienced Pet-Loving Couple Ready to Care for Your Furry Friends
It has been a delight arranging things with Belinda and Johnathan. Very clear communication, kept me updated about Batley and was responsive when there was something to arrange. Batley is an older boy but young at heart and he seems to have had a great time. They were very considerate and caring for him. Would definitely recommend Belinda and Johnathan to take care of any pets.

As an active retired, pet loving couple, we look forward to meeting your pet
Rick and Gina were AMAZING house sitters. Could not have asked for anything better. Dogs were so content when we came home, house looked great. They are an absolute delight to get to know. Could not recommend them more..
Janel
Guanacaste, Costa Rica
I love animals and I'm sure I'll take care of them and pamper them as you do
Janel is an animal lover and has a fun-loving enthusiastic personality. She has great communication skills and was able to provide constructive criticism so we can make future sits easier. Janel sent pictures of our pets while we were gone and made sure we knew how the pets were doing while we were away. She took fantastic care of our goats, guinea pigs, birds and our dog. She left the house in perfect condition making our return home a pleasure! Our dog Rocket was calm and relaxed, excited to see us but not anxious . All the pets were well cared for and again Janel has fantastic communication skills. She left before we returned and made sure the animals were cared for before she left. She also checked in to be sure we had returned. We would highly recommend Janel for any housesitting position she would like to do. She is capable, caring and professional!
Candace
Guanacaste, Costa Rica
Avid animal lovers ready to assist you & your fur babies so you can travel :)
I recently had the pleasure of having Candace as my pet/house sitter through Zeewoi, and once again, she delivered stellar service! This was my second time hiring her, and she truly exceeded my expectations. From the moment I returned home, it was clear that both my cats and I had enjoyed her company. She not only took excellent care of them but also went the extra mile to ensure they were comfortable and happy. I especially appreciated her warm and friendly demeanor, which made me feel at ease during my time away. Candace has mentioned that she will be moving to Costa Rica soon, and while I’m sad to see her go, I have no doubt that the people on the island will appreciate her pleasant personality, culinary skills, and deep love for animals just as much as I did. If you're looking for a reliable and caring sitter for your pets or house, I highly recommend Candace. She is truly a gem!
Elio
Guanacaste, Costa Rica
I'll care for your pets, keep your home clean, and give you peace of mind.
He is without a doubt the most professional and loving human being I've met. We cannot thank him enough for all he did for our pets. Layla and Bruno were simply in an incredible state. He kept us updated with everything they did. We were able to fully enjoy our Honeymoon, knowing that our babies would be safe and happy. As a side note, Layla finally got potty trained completely, meaning that she really is now going outside of the apartment, something only Elio managed to do. As for the house, it was impecable. I would recommend him always and if you need any additional details and all, please just let me know. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Cherish
Guanacaste, Costa Rica
Peace of Mind While You Travel
Cherish was coming back to the USA after spending time in Costa Rica. This meant that she had her own settling in issues to deal with, such as getting a car and finding a job. While this didn't affect her care of our cat Shinko, we could tell her focus was often elsewhere. Other than a few honest mistakes that we can attribute to understanding things around the home (though they were documented), our only real issue is that she left the kitchen in a state of disarray, and we had to spend a few hours after 2 days of driving back to clean it up. We were supposed to have a housekeeper come that day, but she ended up being sick, and so that factored into the situation, though it should not have been a factor. Overall, Cherish has a calming personality around our cat and took good care of our home and let us know if she was having a guest(s) over ahead of time. If not for the situation when we returned and a few minor inconveniences, it would have been 5 stars.
Magui
Guanacaste, Costa Rica
Pura Vida Argentina looking to do what she likes most: traveling and enjoy pets
This was our first time on the app, it left some things to be desired. The cats were fine and the apt was clean when we arrived, she communicated her travel plans well and in advance, but there were several things that left us a bit uneasy. The Welcome guide and oral instructions were not followed on several occasions, leading to a potentially risky situation both for the safety of the apartment as well as that of the pets (leaving the garden door open while no-one’s home in full holiday season; leaving the window open throughout the whole stay, even if it was clearly indicated to close it when no-one is at home). We would have appreciated a more proactive communication about the wellbeing of the pets while we were away (not telling us right away one of the cats was missing for half a day, in the beginning had to insist to get pictures). Also the cat litter box was not properly cleaned, leading to urine buildup inside the box. There were several things moved or changed inside the apartment, that left us confused, the instructions for the dishwasher were not followed, leading to damaging some of the cutlery, the freezer was not properly closed since days. And communication in general could be much improved (the night before the sit Magui just assumed we would host her, even if that was not agreed upon beforehand - we did invite her to stay and join us for dinner too, but it felt like a demand, not a request; upon arrival pointing to the open door she abruptly ended communication with us). We believed this site to be a two way street, but it honestly did feel like providing a hotel for someone.
Reviews from Dog Owners
Natalie
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.
Wendy & Rob
Joe and Casey were very easy going and reliable. We organised the sit way in advance with a video chat and we had adequate communication leading up to the sit. We handed over the house and animals after a fairly swift explanation of everything. Being experienced sitters Joe and Casey didn't need us to over explain anything (hopefully they felt the same) and we could see very quickly that they were animal lovers. They asked us how much communication we needed whilst away and we said "no news is good news". So we received just the right amount of updates along with the most adorable photos and reassuring words about all the animals. It was clear that they quickly understood the character of each of the animals. We forgot to mention that Tipper likes to dig dirt beds around the garden which creates quite a mess and it was obvious that these were kept under control. The garden and pool were well cared for. We enjoyed a relaxing couple of weeks away knowing that the animals were being loved and the dogs definitely looked for Joe and Casey when we arrived home. Our pets, home and garden were well respected and cared for and we would not hesitate to invite Joe and Casey to sit for us again.
David
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.
Julia
Ryan was one of our best sitters we’ve had! Ryan is so lovely to chat with and we looked forward to meeting him before our trip. He was organized and communicated his plans clearly with us and was easy to communicate with while we were away. Our dog took to him immediately and so we knew we could relax while away. Our home was in great shape when we returned and it was nice to get a debrief from him as well. We’d love to have Ryan back anytime, and so would Steve (our dog)!
DAVID
This is our second time with Jamie and she’s really a great sitter for our dogs . She’s a trusted person, smart. You can leave her your house and pets. Can’t wait to have Jaimie back next summer
Melanie
Cyndi was fabulous. I'd describe her as the no fuss no muss dog sitter. While some dog sitters need guidance on every little detail, Cyndi was completely self-sufficient. She left the home in perfect shape and totally adored my pup. I'd gladly welcome her back anytime!
Eddie & Alvin
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.
Debra
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!

Jim sat for my extremely shy rescue pup and new kitten for two weeks -- my pup struggles with new people, and is very fearful of men in particular. And yet, Jim was more successful with her than any sitter I've ever had: I can't recommend him highly enough. He has wonderful patience, a calm energy, and is a great communicator. He consistently updated me with photos and videos of my sweet girls enjoying the world with him, taking my dog on hikes and adventures to her favorite streams. He went above and beyond both for her (in meeting her needs and taking the time to get to know her personality), and also in caring for my home. I returned to such a cozy environment, a repaired wood stove, an organized wood pile and an at-peace dog and cat. Choosing Jim as a sitter is ensuring that your pets and home are getting the best of care, and his actions exemplify his kindness, generosity and thought taken in consideration of others. I hope to have him return many times in the future; the experience was a privilege both for myself and my pets.

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.
