Energetic, reliable, experienced, pet loving retired couple. Non-Smokers!
Always love when Lisa and Rock come to watch the girls. They are reliable and I don't have to worry about a thing.
Daniel
Manitou Springs, Colorado
Dependable house sitter, dog lover and traveler.
I can’t say enough good things about Daniel. He is organized, communicative and a really nice person. My dog Max loves when Daniel comes to sit with him. Daniel sent some great pictures of Max on hikes they went on which I appreciated as I was missing seeing the fall leaves changing (as well as missing Max!). You would be lucky to have Daniel stay with your pet! Thank you Daniel!!

Transitioning retiree will lovingly take care of pets while discovering new area
Karen was awesome and cared for our fur babies like they were her own! My older dog was not feeling well and she communicated about what was happening and cleaned up after her when she got sick! She is very caring and extremely reliable!
Kathleen
Manitou Springs, Colorado
We'd love to be your trusted pet/house sitter for your upcoming adventure.
Dave and Kathleen are fantastic sitters. We thoroughly enjoyed getting to know them during their stay. They took wonderful care of our pets, ensuring the dogs were walked and everyone got lots of love every day. They took great care of our house and hot tub and left the house in spectacular condition. We cannot thank them enough for staying with us and we would not hesitate having them come back for another visit.

Christina was an amazing sitter, she took great care of Bella and the house!! She was extremely kind, super communicative, gave us regular updates of Bella, and left the house very clean and was overall great! Would highly recommend her to anyone else looking for a sitter :)

Nomadic Pet Loving Engineer
Drew was terrific with River and Bodie. They were completely comfortable with him immediately. He knew how to introduce himself in a way the dogs understood right off. We really appreciated how well he documented their walks and letting us know how things were going. We had a SNAFU on scheduling (our fault), and Drew handled it with grace. We showed up a day earlier than expected (with no time for him to prep the house for our return), and everything was happy, dogs and house.

Scott was such a good person and excellent caretaker for Bubba! He was attentive to Bubbas needs and my dog loved him. He left my house really clean, was easy to connect with and a huge help. Thank you!!!!
Nan

"Loving Your Pets Like You Do" for over 25 Years
If you are fortunate enough to have Nan and Sandy as your sitters, you will be able to fully exhale and relax on your trip. They are extremely organized, wholehearted, reliable, and thoroughly experienced. The moment they entered our home for a walk-through, our senior cat Poseidon instantly felt comfortable. They were wonderful about sending daily pictures, often with a dash of humor, and they even created a new cat toy for him, which continues to be a wild success. Our home was also just as clean as when we had left, which is of course a huge bonus. I hope we’ll be able to book them again in the future.
Mel
Manitou Springs, Colorado
Responsible, professional couple with plenty of pet-care experience
Having Mel and Peter as house sitters, as we did for 4+ weeks, will spoil you for everyone else who comes afterwards! Having met over Zoom and agreed dates they were great at staying in touch along the way, before the sit began to let us know where they were and what their travel plans were so we never had any concerns about them arriving on the due date. They then continued to communicate with us regularly throughout the time we were away: photos of the doggies on various daytrips (to places we hadn’t even been to!) and lazy evenings on the sofa made us smile and eased any possible worries. A delicious home cooked meal, supplies for the next few days, happy well looked after (ie spoiled!) doggos, and a clean home (with everything where we’d left it) on our return was our reward for having chosen our sitters so cleverly Peter and Mel are hugely respectful of the fact that you’ve given them full access to your home, your belongings and your loved ones. They take their responsibilities very seriously and their attitude is they’re there to do the best they possibly can for you. If we can, we’d have them back in a heartbeat.

Digital nomad looking for furry companions
This was the only difficult sit we have had in several years and 17 different sitters with TH. It was originally planned for 6 weeks and we always meet our sitters for an orientation and to get a "vibe". She could not meet us ahead of time. However, since she had a five star rating, we took a risk and left without waiting for her arrival which was much later than expected. By the end of the first week we were frustrated with her irregular and snarky communications. (She was often too "ill" or "tired" to give us updates on our aged kitty.) At one point we were afraid she might need medical attention since we were unable to reach her for almost 24 hours so we asked a neighbor to check on her which she found very upsetting. Later, when the neighbors complained that a man who appeared to be living out of his car was parking at different places in our neighborhood and going to our home to stay the night we'd had enough. Since we were 2000 miles away, we contacted TH and our neighbors for help and ultimately told her to leave. After our neighbors escorted her off the property we discovered the kitty box was overflowing and his fresh water dish was empty. Our closed off master bedroom was being used as a storage facility for her/their personal items. To her credit however, she did take the time to vacuum and straighten while the neighbors waited to ensure a smooth exit. A neighbor immediately changed the locks and the garage door code. A troubling experience.
Reviews from Dog Owners
Nathalia
I was very happy with the love and affection that was very apparent when Travis and Shannon met the pups. I received one picture on my trip and was happy to see Shannon cuddled under a doggie pile. Nothing like seeing your dogs being loved by others as their own. Every thing was in its place when I return which was nice. I also received a welcome home gift handmade by them which was very lovely and made my day. I highly recommend them as trustworthy and reliable pet sitters to anyone.
Karen
Once again Dede was the most perfect pup and house sitter you could ever hope to have the pleasure of using. She leaves our home cleaner than we left it and our pups so happy that they continue to search for her after she leaves. Dede handled an emergency situation with a false CO2 alarm which resulted in a visit from the fire department perfectly and we were so grateful! I feel completely comfortable with her in our home and know she is giving our 2 dogs the very best care. Thank you Dede - you truly are the best!
Kara
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!
Sheri
We could not have asked for a better house sitter than Myria! She is kind, personable, organized, responsible communicative and more...She read all of our instructions before arriving and asked lots of questions about our pups to make sure she understood their personalities and schedules. You can tell she truly is a dog lover. Myria provided regular updates and we felt 100% confident leaving our dogs in her care. We came back to a home that was spotless - you could hardly tell she had been here. I'd highly recommend Myria as your next zeewoi!
Amanda
Liz was a fantastic sitter for our boys and took great care of our home. She was a great communicator and kept us informed of what was happening and how our dogs were doing. She also kept our home clean and tidy. We would be grateful to have Liz sit for us anytime!
Megan
Stephanie was fantastic! Very organized and left our house sparkling clean. She also sent daily pictures/messages which we loved receiving. She took great care of our dog and our house. One of the best sitters we’ve had!
Sally & Andy
Lori is the best of the best! I would recommend her 100 times over! Lori is great at communicating and our dogs were extremely happy. She was very attuned to our dog’s anxiety and did a great job making the dogs feel safe and loved. The house was spotless when we returned. Lori also had the job of taking care of my numerous plants. I have to say the plants look better when I got home than they did before I left😂 Lori has a green thumb. Lori is so kind and just a wonderful person. Rest assured if you choose her as your sitter your dog and home are in the best hands. Thank you again, Lori! Blessings!

Care and compassion for my dogs was at the top of the list of John's attributes. He was the first sitter I have used through zeewoi that was close enough to come meet the dogs before the sit. John not only came for an initial meet and greet, but he made time to meet the pups a second time prior to my departure to better familiarize himself with both the dogs and my home. Having put the fear of God in him about Penny's reactivity (I might have been a bit over the top, but better more attentive than less!), he was cautious with her in the beginning. Later in the sit, they trooped off to the beach on multiple occasions - all good! My 10-yr-old was on some meds for a serious battle with arthritis, and John managed Cooper's needs beautifully. John even made a call and a trip to the vet to re-up Coop's prescription when it was clear he needed to continue the protocol. I received daily updates by text, including photos and video; communication is hugely important to me. I feel blessed to have had John care for my fur-babies.

Jim sat for my extremely shy rescue pup and new kitten for two weeks -- my pup struggles with new people, and is very fearful of men in particular. And yet, Jim was more successful with her than any sitter I've ever had: I can't recommend him highly enough. He has wonderful patience, a calm energy, and is a great communicator. He consistently updated me with photos and videos of my sweet girls enjoying the world with him, taking my dog on hikes and adventures to her favorite streams. He went above and beyond both for her (in meeting her needs and taking the time to get to know her personality), and also in caring for my home. I returned to such a cozy environment, a repaired wood stove, an organized wood pile and an at-peace dog and cat. Choosing Jim as a sitter is ensuring that your pets and home are getting the best of care, and his actions exemplify his kindness, generosity and thought taken in consideration of others. I hope to have him return many times in the future; the experience was a privilege both for myself and my pets.

Lori and Joe took great care of our two dogs and tow cats while we were gone. Our plans changed and we actually asked if they could come a day before we had originally planned to leave and they said no problem! They even stayed over on the night we got home so that we could meet them which was very nice! Lori was very good with communication before the house sit and also during the time they were here. She let us they had arrived safely and then sent us a short text or pictures every day of the animals. The house looked cleaner than when we left it when we got home! Lori and Joe were great house sitters and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them!
