I can't speak highly enough of Sandy who took care of our animals on what can only be explained as a challenging sit. Our dog had recently become an escape artist, and as a 50kg St Bernard she was not easy to contain. Combined with a cat that was stressed and inappropriately urinating made for a less than ideal house sit. We are so grateful to Sandy who really took extra care of our animals to keep them safe and happy. And went the extra mile in cleaning, especially after a slobbery dog and a peeing feline. I would have Sandy stay again (if she was willing hahah), and certainly recommend her to anyone needing a home and pet sitter.

Megan was such a fabulous house sitter for us for nearly 3 months. She was proactive in resolving an issue with our cat. She communicated clearly and concisely, when required. The house was left so clean we couldn’t recommend Megan more highly. We hope she will be available again in the future for us.

Lauri and Pam are terrific sitters, and come highly recommended by our spoodle Mintie. They communicated very well leading up to the sit, and arrived promptly as promised. The house was left in a very clean and tidy order, and did a great job looking after Mintie. We would welcome them back any time.

I cant thank nor recommend Marilyn and Richard enough. Our precious fur babies were well looked after walked and tended to as requested. Our garden looked like it did when we left even though there had been some extreme heat so very happy with that. Then to top it off the house was left spotless with washing done bed re-made and very tidy. So lovely when you get home and see that everything just ticked along as though we had never left. Hopefully we can get them back one day!

Nicole was able to change her dates to help me get an earlier start than I’d planned. We had a lovely evening together before I left which made me very confident that all would be well. Although a short 7day sit we kept in contact which was reassuring. I’d definitely recommend Nicole to anyone

Alexandra looked after our 3 year old staffy over a 5 week period. I can't recommend Alexandra highly enough. Our fur baby received multiple beach walks daily and we wereupdated with pics every few days. It was great to come home to a happy, fit pup and Alexandra also left the house in an immaculate condition when she left. Overall a fantastic experience, couldn't be happier :)

It was a complete JOY to leave our dogs and our home in Kay and Peter's care. I would love it if they came to Florida (from Australia) every year to visit their family in Florida - and could stay at the Little Orange House again. Our geriatric German Shepherd was wonderfully cared for, and Che, the frisky Havanese, looked beautifully brushed. The house was perfectly tidy on our return.

Liz was absolutely the best choice I could have made for house/pet sitting. My husky was taken great care of and was totally happy in Liz’s care while I was away, with his medication and walk routine followed to the letter. Walking into my house after a long trip home I was grateful to find the house beautifully clean and organized. On top of all of this, Liz is a great communicator and kept me updated with anything important while I was away. I highly recommend Liz to animal lovers who want that peace of mind when planning their trip away.

Sue and Richard were greeted enthusiastically by the dogs ! They sent me pics of the dogs having a good time on the beach . Which is always reassuring. I can recommend them as dog sitters and they arrived on time and were packed up when I got back

I've always been lucky with my sitters through zeewoi, and this time was no exception. George, Larissa and their four lovely children were the absolute perfection in house guests and I cannot praise this wonderful family too highly. 

They did all the usual things you'd expect, gave my beautiful girls all the love and care I could wish, walked them at least once every day despite the best the British weather could throw at them, and sent me regular updates and photos so I could see how much love they were getting. 

They also left the house cleaner and tidier than I think I've ever seen it! I'm a bit worried that all they did for the week was walk and play with the dogs and then clean the house - I'm beyond grateful, the place looks amazing!

They really are the very nicest people too, George has a hilarious sense of humour (thanks for the funny texts George!) and Larissa is calm, kind and an inspiration as a mother. 

I really can't wait to have them back to look after the girls again in the summer and wish the whole family a wonderful trip until then. 

If they come and house sit for you then you are in for a real treat!

Lea is seriously the best! We lucked out big time with her as our house sitter. She didn't just watch our home; she made it sparkle, and our dog Mezy? Well, he fell head over paws for her!

Mezy's doesn't always warm up to new folks so easily but Lea had this magical charm that had him wagging his tail from day one. She showered him with cuddles and playtime, and we got daily photo updates that were basically cuteness overload.

But Lea didn't stop at being the dog whisperer. Every nook and cranny was squeaky clean, and it felt like we were walking into a Pinterest-worthy home. Our plants thrived under her care too.

Communication was a breeze with Lea. She kept us in the loop about everything and replied to our messages super quickly. It gave us peace of mind knowing she had everything under control.

Lea's not just a house sitter - her friendly, laid-back vibe made everything so easy. We can't thank her enough for taking such great care of Mezy and our home. We're definitely booking her for all our future adventures.

If you want your pets to adore your house sitter and come back to a spotless home, Lea is the one to call. Thanks a million, Lea!

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 🙂

Joe arrived some days before I left, so I could show him some nice places in Switzerland and he had enough of time to learn all about the dogs and how to handle them. He is an amazing nice and an animal/natur loving person who took care of my dog with incredible affection when I was in vacation. I could really enjoy it, because I knew, everything is ok at home. He sent me picutres and I could see, how much fun they have together. He cooked for the dogs, mad a lot of nice hikes with them and huged them, when they need it - so he even got the trust from Artu (as a man really not easy). 
And not only that, he made woodruff punch for me and sowed my tomatoes and spoiled them with melt water. And he helped also the women which looked after the horses and helped her to going walk with them.
Generelly he is super friendly, so everyone in the village likes him.

He is considerate of your belongings and has handed the house back neatly. He is just the best. I'm so gratuful he was here.

So, if you have a chance to get him as a sitter, take it. Your animals will be grateful to you and have a good time while you are on vacation.

Joe, you're not just a dog sitter for me. You were so familiar to me from the first moment. We had a lot of fun and we already miss you sooooo much. I'm really looking forward to see you again in some monthes.

If you need a sitter don’t hesitate to pick Vanessa, I highly recommend her. She cared for our fur baby for two weeks and received the care and attention she needed. We came back to a very happy pup and clean home which is awesome after coming back from a long trip. I received texts and pictures of our dog while we were gone which gave us peace of mind. You could tell right from the start that she genuinely loves animals and will care for them as if they are hers. I will continue to use her as my pet sitter if she’s available. All I can say is she is a wonderful person!!

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.

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.

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.

Lisa was a terrific sitter for our sweet Rosie.  She arrived the evening before the sit, and we immediately could tell how much love and attention Rosie was to get.  She provided updates and pictures which we were delighted to read, and we could tell Rosie was happy and well-cared for with Lisa on their walks and fetching sessions, on their car rides, and during Rosie’s many daily naps.  Lisa left the house in great condition, she’s very tidy and clean. Lisa’s experience with dogs and her friendly, sweet personality makes her an excellent sitter taking good care of animals while also being easy to communicate with.  I would recommend her and would gladly invite her back.
