Mel, Rolf and their son Samuel looked after our 2 dogs, 2 cats and small flock of chickens for 10 days this July. As you'll see they have many great reveiws on TH and we can only join in by saying that they did a fantastic job from start to finish. They're a very organised family, who clearly have a lot of experience of house and animal-sitting. The handover was quick and easy - much faster than is usually the case, as Mel immediately understood what was needed and didn't have to ask twice. They are great communicators and we were sent picture updates of the family out on walks with the dogs and cats. They managed Bonny, our new goofy rescue Golden Retriever, who can be a bit of a handful, without complaint. We even came home to a loaf of delicious, freshly baked bread. What more can you ask! :) Thanks Mel, Rolf and Samuel, we'd happily host you again!

It was an absolute pleasure to welcome Amrita and Kurt again into our home. They are amazing pet/house-sitters and our pets absolutely love them. We know that we can go away fully confident that our dogs, cat and home are in the best hands possible and that we'll find on our return happy, relaxed pets and a tidy, immaculately clean house. We can fully recommend them as lovely people, honest, caring and very professional. A very easy 5 Stars from us.

The house and catsit with Nelly was amazing as always. She (and Gianluca) came to look after Theo before and all felt natural and easy. Communication was great, got updates, pics or little videos every day. She has a real bond with Theo and I think he enjoyed her stay as well. House was clean as always. I would ask her anytime again and recommend her highly. Thanks!

Giulia was by herself for the sit with us, and it was a wonderful experience! From the get go we had a good communication with both Giulia and Simon. Due to some exciting news at their side Simon couldn't make it for the sit. Giulia took her time to settle in herself and let things go it's natural course with our cat Kwazi. Normally it takes some time for Kwazi to warm up to new people, but within no time we got the cutest pictures send our way from Giulia. We were so happy that our cat was in such good care and we really appreciated the updates throughout our time away. Giulia also got some green fi gers and took care of our plants and kept us in the loop of all things related to the house. We couldn't recommend Giulia and Simon more to watch over your pets!

This is the second time we invited Anna to visit our cats and home. We were very happy after the first time and luckily she was able to come back. Anna took great care of the cats and house again. She adores cats, is curious to really get to know them, pays close attention and showers them with love. We got a lot of updates with cute photos and videos, so we had a 100% trust on our holiday that the cats were having a good time. She is easy to communicate with, very organized, took good care of the plants and left the place super clean. I will definitely recommend Anna and Philipp as your housesitters. After 2 times here I can very surely say, it will not disappoint!

This was our second time having Monica and Marc dog sit for us. They are easily our first choice to watch our dog when we leave for a trip. Monica is very communicative and feels like a close friend at this point with her frequent updates and precious photos of her and Marc with our dog. We see how comfortable our dog is with them and how much love they provide him while we’re away. Our home was spotless upon our return and they even asked for an update when we got home to ensure we arrived safely back with our dog. They are the best choice you can make when choosing a sitter for your pet. ❤️

Dandan and Andy were tremendously careful and helpful when it came to playing with my cats and providing “pavement time outside”. My cats are talkative and attention demanding and Dandan and Andy gave all their love. I received pictures every day! In addition: Dandan and Andy are trustworthy and reply to all my messages. Thank you so much 💓

Kiki and Marius !!!!! What a great pair..... The basics: Every day a photo which of course put every pet parent at ease!! Every day a text regarding how things are going... in that aspect, they were much better that me! I was so busy my mind was bogged down with to many things... The great things: SUCH a lovely couple!!! I immediately felt so happy and relaxed when they arrived. Kiki is an architect so we had lots to talk about regarding this medieval town house I have adopted. It was immediately obvious they would get on with Otis. Now for the amazing: They were here during our hottest week for the whole summer! Poor things. Thank goodness the down stairs tends to be a bit cooler than the rest of the house.....Their air con unit leaked (!!!!!) and they had to wait three days for it to be fixed... BUT - to top it all, on day with 38° showing on the mercury, we had an electricity cut that lasted until the wee hours of the morning (FRANCE!!!!!), which meant no air con in the bedrooms. I would not have blamed them if they had packed up and headed for the beach for a few days... but they stayed! These two are nothing short of sainthood.... THANK YOU BOTH!! Next time, we get to hang out more.... (PS- if they agree to pet sit for you, count yourselves LUCK!)

My dog had a medical emergency while in John’s care and I credit him with saving my pup’s life. You couldn’t ask for a better sitter in a pressure situation. He also communicated regularly during the stay, keeping me posted on how my pup was doing. Would recommend John to anyone who needs a sitter they can trust.

Eliza was my first sitter after signing up on zeewoi.  I’m Soooo happy to have had her in my home watching over my dogs.  They were very well taken care of and she did everything I asked her to do with the dogs meals and medication. Plus she took excellent care of my home and plants.
If you are lucky enough to get Eliza to stay at your home, you will be so glad it was she who took care of things! 
Very happy 😃

This was our first house/pet sit with @zeewoi and we were extremely pleased!
Robert showed up when he said he would, he accommodated our timelines and our dog's scheduled routine. He left our home in excellent shape and we had a very happy, relaxed pup to come home to. It was important to us that Robert meet us via video chat or in person before we left and he went above and beyond. He sent photos of our dog, Cooper, and him throughout the sit and we could tell that Cooper was very happy with Robert. He responded immediately to our texts, giving him updates about our return. Communication is so important for making sure both the sitter and the house owners are confident in one another.  Robert is very outgoing and friendly and we have 100% confidence in him to look after our home and our dog when we are away. We look forward to Robert providing another future home sit.

Denise was by far the best pet sitter we have ever had! She watched our two pups while we were gone for 3 weeks and took amazing care of our dogs and home. She took the time to ask questions and make sure she understood each dog’s needs as well as how to take the best care of our house before we left. She sent videos everyday updating us on how the pups were doing. We were so happy to see how much quality time she was spending with them and how much they loved her. Our dogs were so sad to see her leave and we can’t wait to have her back. Denise made sure that the house was in perfect condition when she left and treated our home as if it were her own. If you are looking for a pet sitter, look no further. Highly recommend Denise!

Duha was such a light to have in our home while we were away. She kept us updated with beautiful photos of our dogs throughout her stay and didn’t leave their side once. I’ve never felt so comfortable with any other sitter and I truly hope this won’t be the last time she sits for us.

First things first, Linda is awesome! If she applies for one of your sits, you have to accept! 

This was our first time using zeewoi and is also the first time we have left our dog since we got him. Obviously, we were nervous at the beginning, but Linda removed all aspects of that. She is honestly one of the nicest, kindest, most polite people you will meet. From our first initial meeting, we knew that she was the sitter for us, and for Archie. 

The day that we left, Archie let out a little cry as we said goodbye. This was the first time he had done this (it broke our heart), but we knew he was in great hands! 

Throughout the week, Linda was extremely communicative. She would send us daily updates, share videos of their walks together, and send pictures of the two of them having fun. She spoiled Archie with love, attention, and a couple of new toys! When we returned, the house was in the exact same condition as we had left it, and was very clean and tidy.  

When Linda left, Archie ran to the door, started to cry, and sat/laid there for some time - And we think that this alone is a great reflection of the kind of person that Linda is. 

Linda – It was an absolute pleasure to host you in our home, thank you for everything that you did for us and Archie, and for making our first experience a positive and memorable one. Archie misses you! We hope you get the chance to do it again for us in the future.

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.

Stephanie, Brian and baby Martin took fabulous care of our home and pets for two weeks. 

From the outset, communication was quick, smooth and friendly and it was clear that both Stephanie and Brian are reliable, professional and warm sitters who take all the various elements of a sit seriously.

They kept us up to date with photos and messages, dealt proactively and competently with any unexpected issues that popped up, and most importantly showered our dogs and gerbils with attention and care throughout the time we were away. We returned to a spotlessly clean home (with thoughtful touches of fresh milk, bacon and bread waiting for us) and happy, settled pets. 

In short, we would recommend Stephanie and Brian to anyone looking for reliable, attentive and proactive sitters for their pets and home. We would be delighted to welcome them back for another sit, should they ever find themselves in the area again.
