This was my first experience of using zeewoi and I was delighted with the care and attention Kate provided. I had chance to meet with Kate before I left Flori with her. I felt 100% confident going away for 8 days. Flori has never been left in her 7 years. We returned to a chilled out Flori and a neat and tidy house. Thank you Kate I will certainly use zeewoi again and hopefully Kate too.

Jo and Ben were exellent sitters. They took brilliant care of our house, garden and pets. The house was actually cleaner than we left it. Their communication before, during and after their stay was brilliant. They dealt calmly and senisibly with an unxepected electrical issue to our tumble dryer (which was no fault of theirs). Our cat Ruby was relaxed and in good spirits on our return, and our tortoise Stanley was well fed due to their patience and dligence with her. We would recomend Jo and Ben to anyone looking for good, reliable and caring sitters.

Terry and Naomi did a great job looking after our 4 pets while we were away for an extended period of time. They were very self sufficient and also made regular contact with pictures of the animals while we were away. The house was very well maintained and was returned to us as clean as when we left it. Thanks for such a worry free experience.

Jackeline was wonderful. We 1st chatted by video, and then she came and saw us and met Harley and Chilli. Sadly, Harley decided it was his time to go about 2 weeks before we left for our holiday. He was 14 and a treasured part of the family. Chilli, who is also 14, had a lot of attention from Jackeline, and it was lovely to get photos of her. The house was just as we had left it, and we can't thank her enough.

This was the first time we had entrusted our home and our wee dog, Teddy, to House Sitters, and we were very nervous about having strangers into our home, but from the first time we met both Debbie and Steve we knew that our home and Teddy were going to be in very safe and caring hands. Debbie was amazing and kept us posted regularly of how they were going and how Teddy was doing along with some photos, which gave us a huge sense of peace that Teddy was all good and that we could just relax on our holiday and not worry about anything. They looked after our home beautifully too, leaving it lovely and clean and all the sheets and towels washed and on the line. Amazing. What a pleasure to walk into after a big trip away. It was just so appreciated. And Steve even cleaned the BBQ! My husband was over the moon! I cannot recommend this couple enough. We would have them back here in a heartbeat. Thank you so much Debbie and Steve.

It was a pleasure to meet Anne's family. They are easy-going people and adapted to several demands due to our specific situation, for example a one-night visit of my brother and wife. During the stay, they sent some news without being invasive. The animals were in shape when we came back. I acknowledge that the house was not fully prepared to be sitted, there were no big problem though, it was a good first experience on zeewoi.

Pip and Brendan were such a lovely couple since the first video call till the day we greeted! They took excellent care of our doggies. One doggy was crate trained to sleep and then decided he just don’t want to do it when they were here. They went above and beyond to find a suitable way that worked for both and to make doggie comfortable too. Thank you so much Pip and Brendan, we felt comfortable to leave our doggies with them and Pip updated us regularly with messages and photos. When we got back we saw the doggies got lot of attention and love as the doggies will still go sit by them and they would get cuddles. It was lovely getting to know you guys!

Carol-Ann looked after Kitty for over a week and gave her lots of love and attention. Kitty even helped with the knitting! The house was tidy and sheets washed and left on the line that was appreciated. I got to meet Carol before the sit which was really appreciated, as we didn’t manage to chat beforehand.

Natalie took great care of it dog and cats! She was clean, organized, conscientious, and communicative. Our dog had a small cut on his foot and Natalie took great care to help him heal. 

I would highly recommend Natalie as a house sitter and pet sitter!

David and Elynn were fabulous pet sitters and house sitters. Our dog and rabbit were well-taken care of, the house was left even cleaner than when they arrived! I would highly recommend David and Elynn, and would happily have them again!

David and Elynn took excellent care of our dog Cosmo and our rabbit Oreo. They made sure they were happy, well-fed, and got exercise and fresh air! We were very happy to receive several photos of our furry friends while we were away.

They took amazing care of the house and yard, and were very open with communication. If they were uncertain of anything or had a question, they were very open about reaching out!

David and Ellyn were wonderful houseguests, who left the house even cleaner than they found it!

I would highly recommend David and Elynn and their two adorable children. They are wonderful, respectful people who definitely love animals and will give your pets and home lots of care! Thank you!! :)

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.

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!

Such a great family! George, Larissa and their crew were a fantastic bunch. Our large senior dog got an eye infection right before we left for our trip and so we had to ask them to do some extra eye care. When it was clear that it wasn’t getting better they were willing to load up Lorax and take him to a vet appointment and then apply the prescribed ointment for the next week and a half. Definitely above and beyond care that we really appreciated!
Our house was left in great shape, our pets were super well cared for, and George and Larissa were great communicators. We have had many many sitters over the past 3 years but this was the first family. Nothing to worry about, they were terrific and we would happily have them back again. 
Thanks for taking such good care of our fury family and our home!

Emily  and  Chris were absolutely incredible house and pet sitters. They took care of our dog and two cats for 10 days and were some of the best sitters we've ever had. They took amazing care of all three animals -- giving medicine to our aging dog and managing to befriend our very shy cats on day one.  We received adorable picture and video updates each day and it was clear that the pets loved spending time with them. Additionally they left the house in pristine shape and were incredibly diligent in all aspects -- bringing in packages, taking out the trash and recycling, etc.  I can't recommend them highly enough!

Alexandria was by far our best sitter yet (and we've had excellent zeewoi sitters)!  She was responsible,  self sufficient and very responsive.  She took the time to come meet our dog  ahead of time and to run through the routine before our trip.  She was communicative and sent great pics of her adventures with Rupee while we were away.  She was extremely clean and followed our household routine.  And to top it al off, she left us with a homemade vegetable soup for our jet lagged return home from Europe!  Alexandria is a wonderful, kind and caring person that I am grateful to have met.  I cannot thank you enough Alexandria!

Dede (Duha) is definitely one of our top house/pet sitters so far! The moment we met I knew she was the perfect fit for us. She is the most loving, caring and responsible sitter one could wish for! She send us regular updates of her daily adventures with Kenzie and Ginger and we could not have felt more at ease. I know for sure that our dog fell deeply in love with her and misses her much. We hope to invite Dede back into our home soon! Five stars all the way!!

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.

Veronica House sat for us for a month.  She cared for our two Dobermans and our cat.

Veronica is so enthusiastic about animals.  They immediately pick up on her joy and love for them.

When some bold alligators made our dogs’ normal exercise routine unsafe,  she was faced with the challenging situation of keeping two Dobermans with very different temperaments exercised and entertained in the height of Florida summer with its bugs, heat, and humidity.  She met this challenge by taking the dogs for individual outings. She drove our young social dog to the dog park, finding the times when he would most likely have other large playmates and drove our socially anxious dog to the quiet areas of town for walks.  This took a lot more time than our normal routine, but it kept our dogs safe and happy.

A lasting benefit for us is that our younger dog, once a terror in the car, now rides much more calmly and our anxious dog, once fearful of what the car ride would bring, now happily hops in.
 
Our cat was so content and well-groomed​ upon my return, it was obvious that she had been getting lots of daily attention,  too.

Veronica communicated with us on all the happenings with our pets and property every day.

I came home to happy and healthy pets and a well cared for home.

We feel so fortunate to have had Veronica as a house sitter and look forward to her sitting for us again.
