Kathy and Vic were such a lovely and friendly couple. They communicated well to keep me advised as to the wellbeing of my dogs. The dogs were happy and relaxed with Kathy and Vic. I would happily use them again and recommend them highly.

We were so pleased that Wendy and Warren were available to mind Charlie and our house again. Charlie is getting older and requires a bit more care and he also had a sore eye . Wendy and Warren even took him to the vet for us for a follow up appointment. They sent photos and gave us updates as well. Our house was spotlessly clean when we returned home and Charlie was very happy. We highly recommend Wendy and Warren. It's so nice to be able to go away and relax knowing that Charlie and our house are in such safe hands.🙂

If I could give 10 star I would :) Michelle and Phet are two of the kindest, most amazing souls we’ve ever met. The communication has been very smooth. One of our dogs had her period and needed to take meds during their sit, and they handled it perfectly. Michelle kept in close contact with us, not only updating us with photos of our pets, but also taking proactive actions to care for our properties. They did an outstanding job! We even had the pleasure to have lunch with them after the sit, and we had great conversations! We are grateful to have met them and it became an experience beyond just a house sit 🙏 I definitely recommend Michelle with full confidence!

Kath and Basil were great house sitters and I can't recommend them more highly. We caught up over facetime prior to their stay which gave us a chance to meet them, ask any questions and feel more comfortable with using them for our house sit. During their stay, they looked after our house so it was beautifully clean and tidy when we returned. They had also left us some milk and bread as we'd arrived home late at night and, unexpectedly, some lovely gifts as well. It was such a relief to know that our pets were looked after while we were away (including our sausage dog who we know can be a little tricky to win over). They sent us photos and updates during our trip and even 'poo picked' our horses' paddocks so that they were very clean for our return. I wouldn't have any hesitation recommending them to other house sitters or having them back to sit for us again.

So grateful to Kate for caring for my mature pup while we took a break. She had him trotting around the neighbourhood with a spring in his step. Communication was excellent and photos brilliant. My home was hers and she left it beautifully clean and tidy and the garden looks lusher than when I left. I know pup misses her already.

Katrina and Dan were exceptional house sitters. From the onset, they put my mind at ease. Katrina was very good with timely communication and even though they had a long delay, they arrived in Astana ready to house sit. Katrina often shared photos of my cat. They also did a great job of handing over to the next sitter. I would not hesitate to ask them to take care of my cat again.

Amanda and Casper did a great job looking after our home and our dog, Bailey. The house was spotless when we returned and Bailey had obviously been well cared for. I would thoroughly recommend Amanda as a sitter and wouldn't hesitate in having her mind our home again.

Peter and Tricia were the dream! Our cat, home and garden were extremely well looked after. In fact, I joked with my husband that we might need to plan our future getaways based on Peter and Tricia’s availability. Would highly recommend!

Our overseas holiday was so much more enjoyable knowing that Chilli was in the care of Jeanette and Alec. Everything was made just so easy. Communication was excellent, Chilli was a very happy dog and our home was immaculate on our return. Our plants were possibly better cared for by Alec than by me 😊 Thank you Jeanette and Alec. I highly recommend this couple for any sit they choose to apply for.

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

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!

I’m sure most folks say the nicest things about their sitter, but honestly, if there were a “super star” status available then Denise would win the prize as sitter of the year!

From the start, Denise was an excellent communicator.  While we were still in the decision phase, Denise was always available to chat either by FaceTime, telephone or text.  It was so easy to choose Denise; as you can see from her countless 5 star reviews, she truly is the only pet sitter you’d ever need and the one everyone hopes to have.  

Denise came to our house eager to meet us, our pets and the quirks of our house.  Denise has an excellent sense of humor and immediately put us all at ease.  Our pets took to her as if she was a long lost friend (even our finicky Siamese cat was loving on her from the start).  

While we were gone, our dog had a non-emergency health issue come up and just like that Denise was taking her to our vet, and administered the dog’s meds like a champion (Denise is also a nurse BTW).  Additionally, Denise brought our pup to her scheduled groom appointments and even made future appointments for us to make our return home as seamless as possible.

Denise was even above and beyond helpful to our neighbors and they appreciated her giving them access to our refrigerator when theirs broke down on Thanksgiving Eve!  

When we got home we were super impressed by how perfectly immaculate our house was!  Most sitters leave the house clean, but Denise met and may have even exceeded our military standards of clean and orderly.  Seriously, our house felt like we never left it.  Everything was spotless, shinny and clean.  She didn’t miss a beat!!  Our pets were so happy to see us but honestly, I felt like our pup and kitty were disappointed when we walked in the door (I believe they were expecting to see Denise!).  Haha.  

If you are ever fortunate enough to have Denise apply for any of your sits then I can’t recommend her enough.  Seriously, you can stop reviewing applicants and just go with Denise.  She was awesome in every sense of the word and I hope she’ll come back and stay with our pets again.

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!

Joanna and David were wonderful sitters for our dog Broderick and our apartment. Before starting to sit for us they took time to come and meet Broderick which we were very appreciative of. During their time sitting for Broderick we got great updates every day and wonderful photos of our pup, and they were very responsive whenever needed. When we got back home we found a happy puppy, healthy plants, and a spotlessly clean apartment - they had even taken the time to wash sheets and towels and left us a kind thank you note. We would have them sit for us again in a heartbeat!

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.

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!

Alia is truly the most wonderful, loving and kind dog sitter I have used.  My husky LOVES her.  Not to mention whenever I travel and return home, my apartment is neat and orderly.  She even baked a treat for me on my return! I highly recommend Alia.  She has sat for me several times and I can't wait to use her again. 
Thanks Alia! Me and Grey love having you:)

Ranji was a wonderful pet sitter for my dog Zoe and was very easy to communicate with and kept me informed.  She took wonderful care of our condo and wouldn’t hesitate to have her in my new home in NJ if she wants to check out a new area.

I cannot thank Jenny and Geoff enough for stepping in at the last minute after the original sitter cancelled. They are a great couple, friendly , organised and extremely capable. Also they LOVE animals.  My dog and cat have clearly been given a great deal of care and attention in my absence. 
Jenny kept in touch with notes and lovely photos, Geoff cut my grass and I came home to a spotlessly sparkling house ! Thank you so much! 
Jenny and Geoff are welcome back anytime and I would not hesitate to recommend them as excellent sitters.
