Rose is dependable, reliable, self sufficient and tidy. My dog Cadey takes several medications and I had no worries that she was getting them. She sent photos every couple of days which is reassuring. I had total confidence that my cat and dog were being loved and tended to. Coming home was a breeze as I was wiped out and the bedding and towels were freshly washed. I can highly recommend Rose. You won’t be disappointed. Ps Rose had left a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a card to thank me for my hospitality.

Aaron is wonderful and we are so happy he accepted a second stay with our cats. They love him and he takes such great care with them. He communicated well with us while we were away and has a good eye for adorable cat pics. He's gotten to know our neighbors and town over his two stays with us and he is well liked and respected. He goes out of his way to learn the intricacies of the cats and the house and took such great care of both. We hope Aaron will stay again when we travel in the future. He is simply fantastic.

What wonderful pet and house sitters Carmen and Brett were! We highly recommend them. Communication was first rate from the time we agreed the sit. They were great on Whatsapp, sharing about their prior sit and the lovely pets they were caring for and kept us updated on their arrival flight. We met them at the airport and had a fun handover night / welcome BBQ in our home before we departed next day. They were a delightful couple with really interesting stories of their travels and sits. This couple could manage any emergency in any country and not be phased by it. They "get shit done" (as we say in Australia) without fuss. They checked in on how often we wanted updates and shared plenty of pics of Bella and Kenji on their usual walks and meeting up with other dogs. They were great with our 2 dogs. They were patient with Bella's slow warming to strangers after mums departed (she's a rescue dog who doesn't give her heart easily) and worked brilliantly with our exuberant 10 month old pup as he barked at animals on the TV during their first Netflix night. They checked in for how we manage him and became pros by the 2nd night. Our pups were happy on our return and had been much loved, walked and cuddled plenty and kept to their usual familiar routine. This was the very best care you can get with a pet sitter.

It was a joy to meet Kelley and share our home with her! We are appreciative of the pictures and message she shared with us while we were away from home. She left the house tidy and the dogs well cared for! Especially appreciate the care for our puppy that can certainly be a lot more work than older dogs.

Barbara and Gary were great host. They left our home cleaner then we arrived and had to deal with an escaped chicken and a sick chicken the night before we returned. They gave us updates on the cats and chickens with photos when we asked and we would welcome them back.

Denise was by far the best pet sitter we have ever had! She watched our two pups while we were gone for 3 weeks and took amazing care of our dogs and home. She took the time to ask questions and make sure she understood each dog’s needs as well as how to take the best care of our house before we left. She sent videos everyday updating us on how the pups were doing. We were so happy to see how much quality time she was spending with them and how much they loved her. Our dogs were so sad to see her leave and we can’t wait to have her back. Denise made sure that the house was in perfect condition when she left and treated our home as if it were her own. If you are looking for a pet sitter, look no further. Highly recommend Denise!

Theresa is a reliable and experienced pet sitter in addition to being great at keeping house! She was very accommodating in meeting me & the dogs in advance of our sit, which proved she is a true pet person: attentive to my dogs and eager to know how they should be cared for. She kept me posted while I was away & I returned to a tidy home & happy dogs!
I highly recommend her!!

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.

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!

Nicole and Gabriel were excellent house sitters and we would highly recommend them to anyone. Our dog absolutely loved them and she was spoilt rotten. The house, pool and yard were kept clean and well looked after. On a personal note we also found both of them interesting and great conversationists.

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.

The two-leggeds and four-legged members of this household give Tess a 5-star rating! We think she's one of the best sitters you will find - highly communicative, friendly, competent, reliable, and great with pets. Tess was also flexible about start and end dates to accomodate possible winter weather complications. For this sit, Tess was able to bring along her mom, Cathy. Tess introduced me to Cathy during one of our Skype conversations prior to the sit. It was a bonus to have her here with Tess. Their travel to Marquette was complicated by weather. A fierce winter storm swept across Michigan just before the sit. It took Tess and Cathy two days to drive here but they arrived, as promised, in time for us to fly out early the next morning. We even had time for a lovely dinner together and to introduce them to the dogs and house. We left the next day and never had a moment's worry while Tess and Cathy were caring for our pets and home. Tess sent us regular updates and photos. The dogs immediately accepted them as great new additions to their pack of friends - even our cranky, old chihuahua, Nike! We returned to happy pets and a spotlessly clean home. We plan to invite Tess (and Cathy if available) to return for future sits. Thank you, Tess and Cathy!

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!!

Angela was fantastic.  She came a day early to meet us and our dog Bella and to get the lay of the land and we so enjoyed meeting her and getting to know her!  She took care of our home and Bella with the utmost care and attention.  She was great to communicate with throughout the sit and we felt confidant being away knowing our dog and home were in such good hands! We returned to a clean house and she even prepared dinner for us!  It was clear that Bella was happy, well taken care of and very fond of her!!  We would definitely recommend Angela.  She was a reliable sitter and a delightful person all around!!
