We had Valerie back to watch Bolt and look after the house, and, per usual, she was fantastic! Great communication, super tidy, and really keeps Bolt calm. They seem to have a blast together. She's incredibly self sufficient, but communicative, thoughtful, and transparent. Would have her back anytime she's willing! Bolt would too ;)

Dorothy & Paul house and pet sat for us once before, but that was when we were in a rental house short-term. So, our home was new to them, and there are a lot of features to learn. We had one day overlapping before our vacation and they quickly learned about the idiosyncrasies of our home. They knew our pets and the pets clearly remembered them. Todd was very excited to greet them with a welcoming howl or two, and the cats both wanted to sit on laps and get petted at the same time. It was clear that the cats had been brushed regularly while we were away. Dorothy and Paul took Todd everywhere around the Cape, even when the weather wasn't the greatest for walking. He clearly had a fantastic week under their care. Similarly, the cats, Buddy and Holly, were very happy and relaxed with Dorothy and Paul in their home. And I received photos to see how happy they all were. Dorothy and Paul had to leave before we got home, but we were in regular communication to make sure the transition went smoothly and did not disturb the pets. They did a fabulous job in cleaning the house and many things were cleaner than we had left it for them. We would definitely not hesitate to have Dorothy and Paul house and pet sit for us again. They are a wonderful couple and very caring with our pets and our home.

Beth and Randy were fantastic! This was our first experience using zeewoi and it couldn’t have gone better. Prior to the sit they asked great questions about our dog/his routine/the house and were clearly attentive. While they were at our home they texted a few times for clarification which I appreciated. Each day we received text updates on our dog and a photo. They even kept a journal of his activities each day which they left for us. It was obvious that they showered him with lots of love. They even stayed a little longer than planned as we got stuck in traffic on the way home and left us some cute succulents. Beth and Randy left the house as clean as they found it - washing the sheets and dog blanket and no doubt vacuuming the floor given how much our dog sheds! I would gladly welcome them back to our home anytime!!

Donna was an extremely thoughtful, kind, caring and communicative sitter. My pups adored her as do I. She was super reliable, responsible and self-sufficient. Donna made sure I was kept up to date on my boys and sent photos regularly. It was if my dogs barely knew I was traveling. She is super clean (I had to tell her to stop cleaning :-) and does everything you ask (even watered my lawn in the hot FL sun). I consider Donna a friend now as she loves dogs like I do and cared for Finn and Farley as if they were her own. I got the opportunity to share some time with her and she is an absolute joy with a beautiful heart. I cannot recommend Donna enough for your zeewoi sit.

Shelly and Gary looked after our 6 month old Bernedoodle Max for 2 weeks while we were abroad. He were having a bit of a hard time with his listening at the time and she was very patient, understanding and loving with him. He loved her straight away. While we were away Shelly took it upon herself to make sure he was happy, even getting him some toys and a doggy pool when a heatwave hit while we were out. He had a minor health issue and she contacted us immediately and got him to the vet. We had a bit of a mix up with dates on our return and she handled it with grace and humor. We would certainly have Shelly and Gary sit for us again.

Olivia and Joe are a delightful couple traveling the country between sits during a year before graduate school. They kept us well informed on our pets during their stays and both cats got plenty of attention. The house was immaculate on our return. We would definitely have them sit for us in the future if they could fit us into their busy schedules.

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!

From her promptness to schedule a pre-sit call to her truly thorough tidying of our house, Stella was an amazing housesitter from start to finish!!
She read all the info we put together ahead of time, and asked for clarification on just a few things which made us confident that the pup and the house were in good shape :)
Stella was really gracious when we admitted to not having a coffee pot, and handling things calmly when there was an incident with street parking. 
Maybe most importantly though our dog Luke was calm when we came home. I think if future sitters are clear in their expectations around frequency of communication/photos and the dogs needs then Stella is the perfect person to exceed your expectations!

Jerry gets a five star in every area! We actually connected on the phone before he ever arrived but once he got here, it was like we known each other forever! He was very thorough and how he was going to take care of the dogs and the house!! very friendly with the dogs, and they immediately connected with him!! dogs know when they are💖💖 he arrived early so he could become familiar with Circus and tinker and the house and we had a meal together and quickly became best friends! He sent pictures while we were away and updates. Every day. He was gone by the time we came back, but it honestly looked like he had never been in the house. Everything was perfect just like we left it.❗️❗️❗️ so if you’re looking for a Pet Sitter that is reliable in every way, and you know for sure is going to take good care of your pets this man is the one you want to have come to your home❗️❗️ you won’t be disappointed and I can promise you that💖🎉

Duha was such a light to have in our home while we were away. She kept us updated with beautiful photos of our dogs throughout her stay and didn’t leave their side once. I’ve never felt so comfortable with any other sitter and I truly hope this won’t be the last time she sits for us.

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.

Hamsa was very quick to respond in all communication.  She was prompt on her arrival and listened carefully to our detailed instructions about the house and dogs.  While we were away the amount of communication between us was just right.  When we arrived home the dogs were happy and the house was in order.  A good sign that a dog sitter paid lots of attention to the pups is when we see a bit of depression set in after a dog sitter departs - this did occur after Hamsa left our home  She is a very caring and nurturing individual.

Piper was a wonderful sitter and I would definitely have her come again.  My dog .Winston loved her and was very happy while I was gone.  When I returned home everything was orderly and clean, she changed her bed and washed all the towels.  I totallly recommend Piper to sit at your home.

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.

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!!
