Angela and Jim were terrific to have in the house with Alba. They really helped us out by changing their plans to arrive several days early and were extremely willing to be flexible throughout their stay. Alba took to them very easily and quickly and was sad to see them go. It was great to briefly get to know Angela and Jim, and we're delighted the house was tidier when we came back than when we left it!

Just amazing! I had to leave earlier than expected so didn't get a chance to meet Christina and Malcolm in person. But they looked after my animals amazingly and left the house cleaner than when I left! Highly recommend

This is the third time Denise and Graeme have looked after my pets and apartment and there is a reason I keep inviting them back - they are amazing! My cats love them, they are easy to communicate with, and they always go the extra mile to be accommodating. Plus my house is cleaner when I come back than when I leave. I can't recommend them highly enough. Genuine animal lovers and just all-round great people.

Mica arrived a day earlier so that we could show her the house and the cats. From the beginning she radiated a warm, caring energy and the cats immediately trusted her which is not usually the case when they meet someone new. During our holiday she sent us pictures of them daily, we felt absolutely comfortable leaving them with her. On her last day she also took care of the laundry and garbage without any request from our side which we really appreciated, and updated us on the cats, where she left the keys and everything else. We would give 6 stars for everything if we could. Muchas gracias Mica!

Aleks and Sharon were the perfect house sitters! They arrived in Hobart a day early just to meet us and Jasmin - this was much appreciated. Sharon sent us regular photos and texts giving us lots of evidence that Jaz was well, happy and being utterly pampered!! This included a very cute short video of Jaz having a bath because she had dug in the garden and got herself completely filthy! Aleks seems to have a lovely gentle touch with animals which Jaz responded to very well. Both Sharon and Aleks seemed to form a very good bond with Jaz and it was very comforting to see how happy Jaz was with their company. In addition Sharon is a keen gardener and offered to plant some of our seedlings for us. She also kept all our plants alive and well. All in all a wonderful experience - and they topped this off by washing their linen and leaving their bedroom and the home beautifully tidy. We can thoroughly recommend Aleks and Sharon :)

Mandy and Ben were the best pet / house sitters we could have asked for! They looked after our pooch Pilu, sent us lots of videos and photos, exercised her and even catered to her special dietary needs and made her fave doggy soup. They left our place in a clean and tidy condition just as when we left it. Would definitely recommend to anyone needing a reliable and trustworthy pet or house sitter. Communication was great and they assisted how they could when our doggy door malfunctioned. 10 out of 10!!

Lauren and her family were exceptional house sitters. Communication was excellent and Lauren was both diligent and dependable. Our dog had some minor health issues but Lauren took excellent care of her. I felt completely at ease leaving our beloved pooch in their care. I highly recommend Lauren and her family to look after your home and pets whilst you're away. Not only did they ensure our dog was happy and well cared for, but our house was left in immaculate condition, with all the bedding and towels laundered. Lauren also left a delicious freshly baked cake for us to enjoy on our return. Thank you Lauren, we hope to see you all again.

These guys were great. They came down and chatted with me in Spanish which was great and they really helped me with my grammar. I gave them a few ideas of what to do in Hobart. Come home to a happy dog and a clean house. Muchas gracias!

Ellie has previously completed a house/pet sit in April with her husband at our home in Melbourne. This visit Ellie came on her own to care for Nelson our 6 year old Labrador and our very old cat Tiff and four egg producing chickens. Unfortunately for Ellie she arrived during a particularly wet and cold week in Melbourne. Despite this Ellie walked Nelson every day, and the chickens produced eggs! Maybe Tiff hibernated as she’s a cranky old thing! Despite finding a couple of our appliances complicated, a quick text resolved the issues. Our home was left tidy and Ellie even put linens on for washing when she was leaving very early on her final day. Ellie happily obliged us and arrived the evening before our departure so we could meet her and go over the routine in person. We appreciated this and we were pleased to finally meet her. She is a conscientious and considerate person and we both wish her all the very best with her work and studies and of course her future house sitting opportunities.

Janet and Bob were great to our pups and our home! They were our first sitters so we weren’t really sure what we were getting into, but they made it an awesome experience! 

They are coming back to stay with our dogs again in August. Definitely trust them with your fur babies!! 🐾🐶

Evan and Maria were fabulous. They are experienced sitters and it shows in their independence. They sent regular updates, but not too regular and were totally self sufficient. Most importantly both the house and dog were perfect when we returned home.

Ryan was one of our best sitters we’ve had! Ryan is so lovely to chat with and we looked forward to meeting him before our trip. He was organized and communicated his plans clearly with us and was easy to communicate with while we were away. Our dog took to him immediately and so we knew we could relax while away. Our home was in great shape when we returned and it was nice to get a debrief from him as well. We’d love to have Ryan back anytime, and so would Steve (our dog)!

Angela Gandolfo and Erica Piazza came to stay at our house while we were away on vacation for two weeks. Our two dogs are a handful, but these two lovely women took such good care of them. They spoiled them even more than we do, which is perfect. We got photos every day, and when we came home our house was tidy and there were clean sheets on the bed. I couldn't have asked for better house and pet sitters than these two women. They communicated well with us, and if they had questions, they asked. It was a pleasure to work with both Angela and Erica. 
We had to cut our vacation short because of a death in the family. It was really stressful, but once again, Angela and Erica were flexible and understanding. It made a difficult time easier, knowing that things at home were being managed so well. 
I'm hoping that if we ever have to go away again for such a long time, I will be able to get these two back here again! (hint hint) 
Thank you, Angela and Erica!

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!

Cindy was great, couldn’t have asked for a better sitter experience! Communication was great both before and during the sit. Cindy was really helpful and flexible with arrival and departure arrangements. I came back to a happy dog and a well cared for house, can thoroughly recommend 🙂

Brian is awesome - he is simply the best pet sitter and house sitter that we have EVER had and we've had a bunch. He is experienced, thoughtful, respectful, loving, appreciative, helpful, enthusiastic...the list just goes on. Started with our initial call - it was our first sit with zeewoi and he immediately instilled confidence in us in how he talked about his experience and how he saw his role.  In the pre-planning, he had great questions for us and helped us to get organized.  He was thorough through the instructions, came in a day early to make sure he understood everything about our house and our dog and then followed through on everything.  He even drove us to the airport and picked us up on the return.  Along the way we were gone, he sent us pictures and kept us updated - always making us feel good about being away and knowing Jorge and the house were in great hands. We had workers coming to fix a fence while gone and some other activity at the house - he was helpful, available, and willing to do whatever was needed to be done.  He was self-sufficient and when it came time to leave, he had everything organized and cleaned at the house - he left it in better condition than he received it.  We would love to have Brian sit whenever we are away (and in fact will invite him and hope he says yes!) - any one would be lucky to have Brian as their house and pet sitter.

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.

Stephanie, Brian and baby Martin took fabulous care of our home and pets for two weeks. 

From the outset, communication was quick, smooth and friendly and it was clear that both Stephanie and Brian are reliable, professional and warm sitters who take all the various elements of a sit seriously.

They kept us up to date with photos and messages, dealt proactively and competently with any unexpected issues that popped up, and most importantly showered our dogs and gerbils with attention and care throughout the time we were away. We returned to a spotlessly clean home (with thoughtful touches of fresh milk, bacon and bread waiting for us) and happy, settled pets. 

In short, we would recommend Stephanie and Brian to anyone looking for reliable, attentive and proactive sitters for their pets and home. We would be delighted to welcome them back for another sit, should they ever find themselves in the area again.
