If you are lucky enough to get Chris and Geoff to request a house sit, say yes quickly! We went overseas for a whole month and left our dog... who is nothing short of my animal bestie. They walked her every day(twice!) and stayed near her for large chunks of the day... and they also did magic on the garden -- keeping our newly planted trees alive and our garden thriving. Within the first few days of their house sit, we had some exchanges on text that showed me how wonderful Chris and Geoff would be-- making themselves at home in our neighborhood and with Lucy. I was able to enjoy my holiday even more because our dog and home were deeply cared for. Lucy's behaviour when we returned was noticeably settled. She had not gained weight or becoming clingy like she has in past when I left her. I think she misses them. :-) Thank you, Chris and Geoff!

Both Mariia and Anton were delightful, arrived in good time, listened carefully, paying attention to details and clarifying things I hadn't even thought about. They were thoughtful and kind before, during, and after their time here. Odin took to them immediately and seemed just fine with my leaving. They were unusually gracious about the AC going out pretty soon after I left, even when a serviceman couldn't come until the end of the Sit. They understand the dynamics of increasing air flow to cool down a house and made that happen. When I got home they'd planned on having me join them for the supper they made, which I did. We had a lovely chat during the meal and afterwards about many things. So good to get to know them better. The house was in great shape, all clean and in order. Odin was happy to see me, but still wanted to be with them too. A good sign. We had breakfast they'd made the next morning, then spent a while saying our good-byes, including Odin. I would love to have them stay at Dancing Oaks again. A Great First Zeewoi experience.

It was wonderful meeting Brandy. She took excellent care of Willow. She sent me pictures and managed Willow’s separation anxiety very well. My home was well cared for during this short visit.

Paige and David were great pet and house sitters! The place was beyond clean and dogs were beyond well cared for. The communication was perfect. The bonus was that Paige took amazing photos of the dogs. She should be a professional dog photographer! Would have them again. Thanks Paige and David!

I could not have asked for better pet sitters for Avery than Mary and Johnny. Avery, an abused dog, is difficult to deal with at the beginning of a sit. She does not trust people, nor will she get close to them. But, through patience and love, Mary and Johnny were able to win over Avery during the sit. They took her on many walks. When your neighbors tell you that Mary and Johnny were the best pet sitters I’ve ever had, you know they were outstanding. It is my hope that they will want to return and take care of Avery on another sit. They were definitely six out of five stars!!!!!

If there was a 10 star rating available, Jason and Angel would get it. Not only did they take care of Suki so that she immediately became smitten, the house was immaculate when I arrived home. Even neighbors have commented to me about this wonderful couple. Ten thumbs up to them both

Juliet was absolutely great! Somehow I entered the dates for our sot wrong and she was so helpful with working it out so we could have coverage even though it was TOTALLY my mistake. We have a couple animals with medical conditions that need daily medication and monitoring and she took great care of them. She took our big dog on a couple hikes while we were gone and I honestly think he may have been a bit disappointed to see us! She’s a great communicator and kept us well updated. Thanks Juliet!!

Sandra was very experienced and took good care of our dog Stella. Unfortunately, we found that our communication styles did not really mesh. Weeks before the sit, if we did not reply to Sandra instantly she got rather frantic and seemed overly anxious about the details of the sit. We always want our house sitters to feel comfortable and know what they are walking into, but it was a bit difficult to manage the level of communication Sandra required in advance of her stay. During the stay, our emergency contact was also contacted for a simple question about a light switch, just hours after we had texted Sandra to check in and ask if she had any questions. Besides this, we are grateful for her help and our dog seemed to enjoy her time with Sandra.

Alyson rates more than a 5. We have had many great house/pet sitters over the years, but Alyson is in a league of her own. In the short sit of 4 days, Alyson managed to bond with all three of our pets as well as take excellent care of our home.

Kathleen was a fantastic sitter and Olive and Noodle miss her already.  She was great about sending pictures and updates - never had to ask anything, she always beat us to it.  She didn't assume anything that wasn't clearly stated - always asked us beforehand.  She was great with our dogs - they immediately bonded with her and didn't want to leave her side.  We really appreciated being able to go away and not worry about our pets' welfare, we knew immediately they were being so well taken care of.  We hope to host Kathleen again soon!!

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.

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.

We could not have asked for a better house sitter than Myria!  She is kind, personable, organized, responsible communicative and more...She read all of our instructions before arriving and asked lots of questions about our pups to make sure she understood their personalities and schedules.  You can tell she truly is a dog lover.  Myria provided regular updates and we felt 100% confident leaving our dogs in her care.  We came back to a home that was spotless - you could hardly tell she had been here.  I'd highly recommend Myria as your next zeewoi!

I've always been lucky with my sitters through zeewoi, and this time was no exception. George, Larissa and their four lovely children were the absolute perfection in house guests and I cannot praise this wonderful family too highly. 

They did all the usual things you'd expect, gave my beautiful girls all the love and care I could wish, walked them at least once every day despite the best the British weather could throw at them, and sent me regular updates and photos so I could see how much love they were getting. 

They also left the house cleaner and tidier than I think I've ever seen it! I'm a bit worried that all they did for the week was walk and play with the dogs and then clean the house - I'm beyond grateful, the place looks amazing!

They really are the very nicest people too, George has a hilarious sense of humour (thanks for the funny texts George!) and Larissa is calm, kind and an inspiration as a mother. 

I really can't wait to have them back to look after the girls again in the summer and wish the whole family a wonderful trip until then. 

If they come and house sit for you then you are in for a real treat!

We’re so grateful for the love and care Vanessa gave our two dogs while we were traveling for a weekend. During our trip, she sent us pictures and our dogs always looked happy and at ease. Even during a thunderstorm she cared for our scared older dog who unfortunately had a little accident, and she cleaned up with no complaint. We didn’t have to worry at all which let us truly enjoy our weekend away knowing our dogs were in the best hands!

Vanessa was clean and tidy. We returned home to a neat house and happy pups! She even did the laundry without us asking.

We would highly recommend Vanessa as a sitter for anyone. Thank you so much!!

Lori is the best of the best! I would recommend her 100 times over! Lori is great at communicating and our dogs were extremely happy. She was very attuned to our dog’s anxiety and did a great job making the dogs feel safe and loved. The house was spotless when we returned. Lori also had the job of taking care of my numerous plants. I have to say the plants look better when I got home than they did before I left😂 Lori has a green thumb. Lori is so kind and just a wonderful person. Rest assured if you choose her as your sitter your dog and home are in the best hands. Thank you again, Lori! Blessings!

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!

-Allen and Izabela

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.
