It was lovely to meet Linde and Robert and I felt very comfortable leaving them in my home with my elderly dogs. They were in touch with daily WhatsApp updates and photos which was great, and the dogs and house were clearly very well looked after. I would highly recommend them!

Bozena and Rick were reliable, friendly, and self-sufficient dog sitters. I felt comfortable leaving my house and puppy in their hands. They took my dog for several long walks, including in the woods, which I’m sure she enjoyed. They are welcome back anytime!

Bernadette was a fantastic and energetic house sitter and looked after our dog Whispa really well. She arrived in time for me to explain everything and immediately bonded with Whispa. I put Bernadette on our car insurance and she drove with confidence and assurance. She absorbed all my instructions with ease. She was very tidy and looked after everything in our home. Everything was super tidy and organized when we returned. While we were away, Whispa ran into the bushes, which she always does, and incredibly unluckily cut herself on something sharp which required some stitches and wearing a cone collar for several days to prevent her from licking the wound. Bernadette was completely amazing in her handling of the situation. Whispa could not have had better care and didn’t actually suffer at all as a result. We were concerned that Bernadette’s trip had been spoilt but she just organized herself around the situation and never once expressed any concern for herself, only for Whispa. She kept in good contact with us and sent photos so we felt in touch with all that was going on. When we came home Whispa still followed Bernadette around and continued to sleep in her room during the few days she stayed on with us. This was Bernadette’s first sit for a dog (as opposed to cats) and she really got thrown in at the deep end but she came out with flying colours and we will be eternally grateful to her for the loving care she gave to Whispa. I would highly recommend Bernadette to anyone looking for a really competent house and pet sitter and I hope she will be able to come back and look after Whispa for us again another day.

A+ sitter. Poor Jasper was unwell during our trip away, but fortunately Amy is a retired vet so knew we were in safe hands! Very grateful (and very, very guilty!) can’t recommend highly enough. G

I had a wonderful house sitting experience with Debbie. I was present for her first and final night and she was awesome company. Taylor became very fond of her and was very chilled, happy and well fed in our absence. I’d welcome Debbie back to my home any time. Thank you.

Erena is a great pet sitter and great company. Communication was easy and she arrived exactly when she said she would. Nina took to her straight away and was a very chilled and happy cat when we returned. The house was clean and tidy, the guest bed was stripped and the towels and bedding had been laundered. What more could you ask for? We recommend Erena without hesitation and would gladly have her to stay anytime. Thank you Erena and enjoy your travels.

Caroline and Andrew were amazing petsitters and we would highly recommend them. When they accepted the sit Charlie was a healthy, albut senior cat with no health issues and very easy to care for, however, one week before we left that all changed when Charlie was involved in an incident and he was very unwell prior to us leaving. So Caroline instead of being able to just give Charlie lots of love, attention and brushing suddenly had to be nursemaid with lots of additional issues to attend to including visits to the vet etc. They were awesome and kept us very well informed with messages and photos which so helped to put our mind at rest. Cannot speak highly enough of the effort they put in with Charlie in our absence. They respected our home and grounds as well which was lovely to come home too. Would definitely ask them back if available.

Simon and Louise were very communicative with us right from our first call. They wanted to understand Ned’s routine and any specific house requirements. We stayed in touch in the lead up to the sit and they came over the day before to meet and spend time with Ned and us. During the stay they looked after Ned and the house and kept us up to date. We returned home to a clean house and a very happy Ned. Highly recommend! Thank you.

Maggie was a dream house and pet sitter. Our original sitter let us down at the last minute so it was a frantic search to find someone else to fill the gap. She was a very lucky find for us. Nothing was too much trouble for Maggie. I left her a pile of instructions, as I am a very fussy home owner and I must say, the house was pristine when we got home. Maggie sent regular pictures & updates on Jock, who from what I can gather, was more than happy with the arrangement! I would thoroughly recommend Maggie for any future house-sits. We had no problem entrusting her to our new home and crazy little dog.

Eliza was my first sitter after signing up on zeewoi.  I’m Soooo happy to have had her in my home watching over my dogs.  They were very well taken care of and she did everything I asked her to do with the dogs meals and medication. Plus she took excellent care of my home and plants.
If you are lucky enough to get Eliza to stay at your home, you will be so glad it was she who took care of things! 
Very happy 😃

David and Elynn were fabulous pet sitters and house sitters. Our dog and rabbit were well-taken care of, the house was left even cleaner than when they arrived! I would highly recommend David and Elynn, and would happily have them again!

David and Elynn took excellent care of our dog Cosmo and our rabbit Oreo. They made sure they were happy, well-fed, and got exercise and fresh air! We were very happy to receive several photos of our furry friends while we were away.

They took amazing care of the house and yard, and were very open with communication. If they were uncertain of anything or had a question, they were very open about reaching out!

David and Ellyn were wonderful houseguests, who left the house even cleaner than they found it!

I would highly recommend David and Elynn and their two adorable children. They are wonderful, respectful people who definitely love animals and will give your pets and home lots of care! Thank you!! :)

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!

Susan and Jim were exceptional pet sitters for our 2 pups and cat! From the start they were communicative and asked thoughtful clarifying questions that made us feel comfortable immediately. 
We spent time together the evening before we left for vacation and it was clear that they had read our welcome doc and instructions. They referenced animal behaviors that were noted and confirmed details. They arrived about an hour before we left and gave us all plenty of time to feel comfortable with being in our home. 
Throughout our vacation, Susan sent photos and updates of our critters and let us know how they were spending their time together. Susan was quick to respond to my messages via WhatsApp any time I reached out. 
Susan and Jim stayed at our house until we landed at the airport and let them know we were safely on the ground. They fed and walked the dogs and let us know they would be gone before we got home. It was great knowing that had our flight been delayed, they would have stayed at the house until we were safe driving distance away. 
We came home to a sparkling clean home, a thriving and happy garden, and well cared for animals! Susan and Jim left us detailed notes of their stay and even gave us lots of instructions on how to keep our garden happy! What a treat! All our linens were washed and replaced and the house was immaculate. 
Thank you Susan and Jim for choosing our home and furry family to spend your time with! You were the best first experience we could have asked for and would love to have you back again!

We had the pleasure of having Maggie (for the second time) to take care of our home and beloved dog Frida while we were away for 2 weeks. 
We couldn’t be happier! Neither could Frida!
Our big dog is sometimes a bit stubborn and Maggie managed amazingly. 
We had daily photos and video, and Frida was clearly very happy, comfortable and very well looked after. 
We highly recommend Maggie to anyone in need of trustworthy and dedicated house sitter and animal lover

Theresa is a reliable and experienced pet sitter in addition to being great at keeping house! She was very accommodating in meeting me & the dogs in advance of our sit, which proved she is a true pet person: attentive to my dogs and eager to know how they should be cared for. She kept me posted while I was away & I returned to a tidy home & happy dogs!
I highly recommend her!!

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 🙂

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!

Joanna and David were absolutely perfect!!!! This was my first actual time using a sitter and they went above and beyond what I expected.  I have a 1 year old Bully Breed that I adopted 6 weeks ago, so if you know dogs you know what they had to deal with :)) They sent pics daily and kept me updated.  We were not able to meet before I left but they were nice enough to stay to meet me when I returned.  My house was cleaner than when I left, all bedding and towels washed.  Charley, my dog, was happy to see me for a minute when I got home but immediately went back to play with David, so I am thinking she had a blast while I was gone.  I am totally sold with this process after having Joanna and David here.  If you have the chance to book them for your trip, you will not be sorry.  I am hoping to use them again when they return to Florida.
