Machico, Portugal
Flexible, alcohol/smoke-free, reliable, married couple looking to love your pet!
I highly recommend Traci and Damien. I couldn’t have dreamed of better sitters for my pets. It is so clear that they love the pets they care for. They really got to know the personalities of each of my cats and I could see how happy the cats were in the pictures and updates. One thing that stood out to me was how mature and responsible they are. Over the course of the month, they really established a nice life routine. They explored the city during the day, but often spent time cooking at home in the evenings. They are also both avid readers, which meant lots of kitty cuddles during reading time. In addition to taking great care of my cats they also took great care of my home and are extremely self-sufficient travelers. I left them some of my recommendations for favorite places around the city, but they also found so many cool and fun things to do on their own and when I returned – they took me out to show me some new fun things to do in my own city! Because of the timing of my trips over the course of their month-long stay, I had an opportunity to spend some time with them in between and at the end of their sit. I can really say they are kind and wonderful people and I would welcome them back to my home any time – as pet sitters or as friends. I am so grateful to them. I had a lovely vacation because I never had to worry about my pets. They were so well taken care of and loved. Thank you so much Traci and Damien!! I hope you come back to Istanbul to visit us!

Reliable and Attentive Caretaker: Ensuring Peace of Mind While You’re Away
Nancy cared for our cats for two days while we attended a family funeral in another part of the country . She was cheerful and friendly, keeping us updated with photos and messages. The cats were content when we returned.

Flying Sitter
Frank is a most reliable, thorough and efficient person. He is easy to talk with and was great with all our pets: 3 dogs, 4 cats, chickens and partridges. It was not an easy task for him alone, not only because one of the dogs had a Hotspot which he had to treat every day. It was warm and Frank had to keep an eye on everything in the house, the pool, the orchard and all the animals. Communication with him was outstanding. During our absence he was authorized to use our car and when we came back, we found it spotless like a new one. Also the house and terrace were cleaned and all our pets were happy. We can highly recommend Frank as a sitter.

Conscientious Couple to Look After Your Home & Pets
Gabrielle and Luc took amazing care of our cats and home while we were gone for an extended trip. Communication was excellent and they did a wonderful job of keeping us updated and debriefing after our return. Highly, highly recommend! We would have them back anytime. Thank you so much, Gabrielle and Luc!!

Pet and House sitter - Madeira
Natasha was an excellent sitter for our 3 large dogs. Communication with her was easy and frequent and she sent lots of photos of the dogs so we were reassured that they were happy and well looked after. We came back to a very tidy, clean house with nothing out of place. We highly recommend Natasha and would welcome her back here anytime to look after our three. Thanks so much Natasha!
Kelly was an excellent sitter for us. She communicated well, before the sit and during the sit. When we got home, the dogs and our guinea pig were happy and well. Kelly was dependable and showed up exactly on time. The house was well maintained and clean when we arrived home. We would definitely host Kelly again.
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!
David was a great sitter for our dog! It was just him for this sit. He was very communicative before, during, and after the stay. He visited the apartment before we left to meet our dog and talk with us, and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and confident that our dog was in good hands. He sent us updates throughout the stay, and left the apartment in great condition. While our dog is on the older side, he can still be a handful at times, but David didn’t seem to have any problems. Would definitely recommend David for any future sit!
If we could give 10 out of 5 stars for Candace, Brian, and Chris, we would! They were amazing house and dog sitters for Brown Dog and Scout. They were so accommodating with our timeline and had read our welcome guide to a tee! It was so reassuring being gone for 2 weeks and knowing our pups were in amazing hands. They sent us daily updates and pictures and it was clear the dogs were so well cared for! They left the house very clean and even had all of our bedding and towels washed for us when we arrived home. Would absolutely recommend them for a sit and would love to have them back again any time!
Emily and Chris were absolutely incredible house and pet sitters. They took care of our dog and two cats for 10 days and were some of the best sitters we've ever had. They took amazing care of all three animals -- giving medicine to our aging dog and managing to befriend our very shy cats on day one. We received adorable picture and video updates each day and it was clear that the pets loved spending time with them. Additionally they left the house in pristine shape and were incredibly diligent in all aspects -- bringing in packages, taking out the trash and recycling, etc. I can't recommend them highly enough!
Cyndi was fabulous. I'd describe her as the no fuss no muss dog sitter. While some dog sitters need guidance on every little detail, Cyndi was completely self-sufficient. She left the home in perfect shape and totally adored my pup. I'd gladly welcome her back anytime!
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.
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.
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.
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.
