This is the 4th housesit with Ron and Morgan. They are the best. They are reliable and trustworthy; they love our pets, and our house is spotless when we return from our trip. They are flexible and accommodating. Our pets get excited when they see their vehicle and hear their voices. Ron and Morgan are adaptable even having to deal with a large black bear in the yard. If you want a great housesitter; I highly recommend this sweet couple

This was the second time Vanissar has looked after our home and elderly cat. If she was available every time we needed a sitter she would always be our first choice!

Janine s a lovely, kind and gentle person. Communication with her was excellent. She left the house in perfect order. She washed the linens and remade the guest bed which was appreciated as I had a friend returning with me. Most of all Red the cat was happy and content when I got home. I would have Janine back in a heart beat. She’s completely reliable and trustworthy.

Jennie and Peter define 'professional pet/house sitters' to a T, yet raise their status to another stratosphere by being the most kind, respectful, thoughtful, creative and joy-filled people. They clearly communicated with us and settled into our home with ease, caring for our ginger feline so efficiently and affectionately, that upon our return, Simba showed signs of missing them, not us, ha!! The icing on the cake for us was the brilliant 'Cat-thedral' hang-out Jennie designed and made for Simba out of their Hello Fresh boxes. This will be a 'Jennie & Peter' souvenir for Simba for a long time! You will not be sorry choosing this wonderful couple as your pet/house sitters.

We are grateful to have had Laurie and Jack sit for us for the 2nd time. McCoy and Lexi remembered them from the last sit and were excited to see them again (as were we). Laurie and Jack are a thoughtful and generous couple who do a great job pet and house sitting. Our dogs were happy and well looked after, and our home was very clean and tidy when we returned home. Laurie and Jack are truly a 5 star couple.

Once again we thank our great fortune to have found Saskia. After 3 trips this year, where she has looked after our precious ones and our home, she has become a friend to us and most certainly our pets…and is the definition of how the Zeewoi relationships are meant to be. Beyond her thorough planning, self-sufficiency, ability to run a house, and kindness…she really hones in on the pet behaviour and any concerns - and provides thoughtful feedback. We could not be happier and trust and appreciate her greatly…PLUS…she’s really fun! Thanks Saskia!!

Margaret was easy to communicate with and loved our pets. There was a health issue with one of our dogs and we needed to know right away. We only found out after we had arrived home and our local vet was closed. This is the only reason that this review is not five stars because she and her partner were great sitters in all other aspects. I wish them good luck with their adventures on Vancouver Island in the future!

Maryna was an excellent pet sitter and houseguest! Communicating with her was easy, and she always responded to my messages quickly. She was also incredibly self-sufficient! Moreover, Maryna graciously agreed to check on my neighbor's cat for a couple of days as well. My dog bonded with her quickly and was happy and healthy when I returned. The house was also spotless. I would happily have Maryna sit for me again!

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.

Once again Dede was the most perfect pup and house sitter you could ever hope to have the pleasure of using. She leaves our home cleaner than we left it and our pups so happy that they continue to search for her after she leaves.  Dede handled an emergency situation with a false CO2 alarm which resulted in a visit from the fire department perfectly and we were so grateful!  I feel completely comfortable with her in our home and know she is giving our 2 dogs the very best care. Thank you Dede - you truly are the best!

Ray and Lynn were excellent sitters for Moose! They took him out multiple times a day and always played with him. They sent so many pictures and Moose always looked so happy! They were very flexible on when they arrived and left and very organized. 

The house was left clean and tidy and we found a happy dog when we got home. We would definitely have them back anytime!

Joe was an excellent sitter and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away, dealing with one of our pup’s surgery recovery, which was an unexpected circumstance just prior to our trip. We felt fully comfortable and were so grateful to know that all of our dogs and our home were in such good hands during his stay. Highly recommend!

Care and compassion for my dogs was at the top of the list of John's attributes. He was the first sitter I have used through zeewoi that was close enough to come meet the dogs before the sit. John not only came for an initial meet and greet, but he made time to meet the pups a second time prior to my departure to better familiarize himself with both the dogs and my home. Having put the fear of God in him about Penny's reactivity (I might have been a bit over the top, but better more attentive than less!), he was cautious with her in the beginning. Later in the sit, they trooped off to the beach on multiple occasions - all good! My 10-yr-old was on some meds for a serious battle with arthritis, and John managed Cooper's needs beautifully. John even made a call and a trip to the vet to re-up Coop's prescription when it was clear he needed to continue the protocol. I received daily updates by  text, including photos and video; communication is hugely important to me. I feel blessed to have had John care for my fur-babies.

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.

We were so happy with Lynda's care for our senior pup. 

Lynda was extremely accommodating with the key hand over situation we had considering our early flights out of Berlin. She was easy to coordinate with and made this part of the holiday very smooth.

We could also tell Sesame was in the best care. We received updates and photos of Sesame on walks and getting cuddles. We know Sesame can be sassy sometimes but Lynda was great with her little attitudes and handled her with ease. It was also really heart warming to see that Lynda truly enjoyed her time with Sesame and created a strong bond with her. We love to know that our dog is loved and treated with the care we would give her if we were home. 

Both my partner and I were able to fully enjoy our holiday as we knew from updates that Sesame and Lynda were doing well. Our apartment was clean and tidy when we returned and the sheets had also been washed. We would definitely have Lynda back and would recommend her to anyone else looking for an experienced sitter to stay with your pet.

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.

Charlie was again an outstanding sitter for us whilst we were away at a wedding. This is the second time having Charlie and although we have not met face to face we completely trust her with our home and of course our cat, Nala. Charlie left the house spotless which is amazing to come home to after a long day of travelling. She is reliable, good at communicating and trustworthy and we would not hesitate to recommend her enough. Thanks again Charlie, we hope you come back again and there might even be a dog next time😁
