Marius and Eunice were fantastic cat sitters for our cat Olu. They took great care of him while we were away for 3 weeks. They kept our apartment tidy and sent us constant photo and video updates so we could see that Olu was doing well. They even gave us some great tips, like moving Olu's water fountain to a different location to encourage him to drink more. We really appreciated their attentiveness and care for Olu. We would highly recommend Marius and Eunice to anyone looking for reliable and responsible house sitters!

Melanie, her sister Nadine and friend Vanessa were wonderful houseguests during our two week trip away. Sadly, our dog Tucker passed away the day before they arrived from a three month illness, but we were so happy that the ladies were here to supervise the house and take care of my many plants - inside and outside during the hot Florida summertime. They had met Tucker in February when they were in the area so it was very unfortunate the timing involved as we knew they would have been wonderful pet sitters. The house was left spotless and there we no issues whatsoever while we were away. We communicated a few times to touch base but the ladies were entirely self sufficient and gave us so much peace of mind. We highly recommend Melanie and her sister and friend if you ever have the chance for them to house/pet sit.

Tobi is the perfect house sitter. We got along really well straight away and were grateful that he was there. He took great care of our animals and the household. Our dog felt comfortable sharing the bed with him. I think he misses him too. Tobi even gave us presents and he left everything, including the laundry, better than he found it. Thank you!

We couldn’t recommend Jutta more highly - her communication was fab before she came, she was extremely relaxed and easy going whilst with us and loved hanging out with Betsy, and then left us with some bits in the fridge as well as a spotless house and some wild flowers! We highly recommend Jutta if you’re looking for a very easy going, lovely house sitter who will look after your home and dog beautifully. We hope to have her back sometime, and Betsy (our dog!) will be delighted to see her!

Günter & Annette have been the best pet sitters so far! They arrived on time and we're very excited to spend time with the cats. While we were away, they sent us plenty of pics and videos of them playing, feeding and cuddling with our two cats. It really put our minds at ease. They were also very self-sufficient and left the apartment super clean (I appreciated that they washed the sheets and towels, dried and folded!). I would love to have them pet-sit again and would highly recommend them to others!

One of the best sitters we’ve ever had! They took our pups everywhere and on long walks everyday! They gave great updates on their daily activities! They also went out of their way to ensure the dogs were well fed and bought them kibble when we ran out! We came back late in the night to our apartment cleaner than when we left it and home baked cookies! :)

Farid is super kind and sitted my cats twice already. He is very reliable, leaves the apartment tidy and is good to my cats. They’re two of the weird kinds, but he gives them time they need to open up and they obviously feel comfortable around him. When I came back home they didn’t miss me too much which is always a sign they’ve been taken good care of 😊

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 😃

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.

Lisa and Matt were absolutely fantastic sitters for us and our dog, Moose.  
Not only were they flexible when our flight was changed last minute, they also were able to stay an extra day to accommodate the changes.  They communicated with us promptly during the scheduling and planning process for the housesit.  They arrived on time on the (re)scheduled day.  They acclimated to our dog very quickly and gave us piece of mind as we left by taking him on a walk to avoid his separation anxiety.  We chatted every day and exchanged photos of Moose playing at the beach and in the yard.  He was so happy!  No problems were encountered with the house.  Even our neighbors commented on how friendly and kind Lisa and Matt both were and how they really cared for Moose.  
The house was spotless when we returned.  Everything in proper order, better than we left it.  
We can't thank them enough for the excellent experience!

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.

Amara was a WONDERFUL sitter for our home and our dogs for the weekend. We were so comfortable with her being in our home, and she provided regular updates and photos of our babies. The house was clean upon arrival home - we would have no hesitation recommending her to others and hope she would consider coming back to spend more time with our dogs!

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.

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!

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.

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!!

Cannot say enough good things about Charli and Jeff, a delightful couple who took great care of both dog and house.
Loved their enthusiasm and attention to details. They are full time traveling pet/house sitters and it shows. They are organized, punctual, extremely tidy and completely self-sufficient.
Charli, Jeff, it was a true pleasure to meet you both and you are welcome back any time your future travels bring you to the Charleston area. Warm hugs from myself and Forest.
