Dana is without doubt the best house sitter I have ever had. She is reliable, caring, clean, intelligent and my cat adores her. so much so that on my return he barely looks up at me, he's so content with her. She truly is tuned into him, He has medical requirements now, and Dana adheres to them perfectly. I had been away on respite as I'm ill myself, I arrived home to a vat of amazing tasty soup that nourished me for a couple of days. I'm really so thankful for your care Dana. Thank you! A joy to have in my home. Welcome back any time . You would be blessed to have her.

This was our second sit with Keith and Julia and it was just as perfect as the first one. They are lovely people who go above and beyond to ensure buster and billy are happy and well looked after. They also are very accommodating - when I had to leave later than planned they didn’t mind and we could work something out easily. I got home to very tired and happy dogs, a spotless house, and some jazzed up plants! Thank you Keith and Julia, looking forward to seeing you again soon ☺️

Fiona was absolutely lovely. We immediately felt we could relax about being away. She managed everything perfectly for us and the cats were happy and relaxed with her. Could not ask for a better sitter. We have had amazing sitters so far and Fiona is up there with them all. Would love for her to sit for us again.

Daniel & Sophie, A young, pet and travel loving couple from Ireland

Daniel and Sophie were amazing sitters for our cats Fran & Zuzu. While we typically have our trips planned out months in advance, this was a very last minute trip which had us spiraling with how to find pet care, but Daniel and Sophie immediately eased any of our anxieties and were the perfect match for our needy cats! They have so much pet and home care experience and were very communicative and self sufficient along the way. We received lots of kitty picture updates as well as any unusual behavior they observed during their stay and how to troubleshoot it if needed. Our home was left just as tidy and clean as we left it and, most importantly, Fran and Zuzu were so well loved and taken care of while we were away that they mostly ignored us for the first hour we were home. Definitely a success!

It has been a great pleasure to meet Julia again. She is a total blessing for us. Thanks to her we were able to have a stress and worry free vacation. Her regular updates with photos and videos helped greatly as we were missing Oreo the whole time we were away. We cambe back to a happy and relaxed cat and a house that looked tidier and cleaner than we had left. Julia is a credit to both herself and zeewoi. She's everything and more than we could have hoped for. We look forward to meeting Julia again. We recommend her unreservedly!

Marie was a lovely lady and minded our home and furry family very well. We enjoyed pre holiday chats and we received regular updates every day we were away. We came back to a clean and tidy home which was great and Marie was very accommodating when we had to change our plans and come home a day early.

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.

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.

Marlen was such a blessing. We had another sitter cancel just a week before our vacation date so I was so relieved that she was able to step in at such short notice. She came to meet our pups a few days in advance so they would recognize her.  While we were away,  Marlen sent picture updates and made sure the dogs were cared for. So glad to have found someone like her to help us out.

Susan and Jim were exceptional pet sitters for our 2 pups and cat! From the start they were communicative and asked thoughtful clarifying questions that made us feel comfortable immediately. 
We spent time together the evening before we left for vacation and it was clear that they had read our welcome doc and instructions. They referenced animal behaviors that were noted and confirmed details. They arrived about an hour before we left and gave us all plenty of time to feel comfortable with being in our home. 
Throughout our vacation, Susan sent photos and updates of our critters and let us know how they were spending their time together. Susan was quick to respond to my messages via WhatsApp any time I reached out. 
Susan and Jim stayed at our house until we landed at the airport and let them know we were safely on the ground. They fed and walked the dogs and let us know they would be gone before we got home. It was great knowing that had our flight been delayed, they would have stayed at the house until we were safe driving distance away. 
We came home to a sparkling clean home, a thriving and happy garden, and well cared for animals! Susan and Jim left us detailed notes of their stay and even gave us lots of instructions on how to keep our garden happy! What a treat! All our linens were washed and replaced and the house was immaculate. 
Thank you Susan and Jim for choosing our home and furry family to spend your time with! You were the best first experience we could have asked for and would love to have you back again!

Leah & Elias, were an absolute joy as housesitters.  They arrived a day early so we could all meet and go over the pets routine.  Our cat is relatively new and has a little separation anxiety but they managed his care really well.  Our dog needed to be dropped off at a sitters and they took care of that as well.    We also came home to a clean and neat house! Overall, they went above and beyond and I highly recommend them.

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!

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.

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!

Ranji was a wonderful pet sitter for my dog Zoe and was very easy to communicate with and kept me informed.  She took wonderful care of our condo and wouldn’t hesitate to have her in my new home in NJ if she wants to check out a new area.

Lori and Joe took great care of our two dogs and tow cats while we were gone. Our plans changed and we actually asked if they could come a day before we had originally planned to leave and they said no problem!   They even stayed over on the night we got home so that we could meet them which was very nice!

Lori was very good with communication before the house sit and also during the time they were here.  She  let us they had arrived safely and then sent us a short text or pictures every day of the  animals. 

The house looked cleaner than when we left it when we got home!  Lori and Joe were great house sitters and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them!
