Chante and Theunis were 5-STAR sitters and have set the bar really high for future sitters. They were absolutely amazing. Firstly our dog China was so calm and well groomed upon our return, which was evident of how well they looked after him. Secondly, they went over and above of what we expected of them to manage our airbnb, which is a clear indication of their beautiful & dedicated characters. Thirdly, they were working remotely from our home and communicated well, keeping us informed of China's well being and were diligent in managing the alarm, which was important to us and which we really appreciated. Chante and Theunis are responsible young professionals who clearly indicated that they can deal with various situations and solve problems practically and easily which enabled us to have a relaxing holiday. Thank you so much!

Caring pet lovers.
Andrea and Philip have been wonderful house and pet sitters and the animals were super happy being left in their care. Andrea was very organised and communicated well in the lead up to the sit and also during our absence on holiday. The dogs warmed to them both on the first night and we left feeling very confident that all would be well while we were away. We received updates during our holiday and returned to find happy and healthy animals. The house had been well looked after and we shared a lovely meal prepared by Andrea on our return. We really appreciate all they have done and the care they have taken with all our menagerie. We can certainly recommend Andrea and Philip as pet/house sitters. Thank you and enjoy the rest of your travels!

Active, caring, professional couple who love animals and experiencing the new.
Came back to find both home and cat in perfect condition. Vicki and Chris were easy to communicate with prior to and during the sit and we appreciated the occasional pics of a clearly happy pet whilst we were away. Would happily have Vicki and Chris for future sits, and so would Millie (cat)!

Retired vet with years of experience with animals of all shapes and sizes
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

Milly was wonderful. A pleasure to deal and arrange the housesit with. We came home to three very content and relaxed furbabies! As an owner of big dogs, you can be reassured that Milly will take good care of them.

This was the third time Melanie has house and pet sat for us but the 1st time through zeewoi.com. She is the perfect doggie grandma! She showered our Labrador boys with love and spoiled them with more attention than they usually get from us. She was happy to do online work from here and to hang out and relax with them as well, and so responsive whenever they wanted to go in and out (and in and out, and in and out, and…). She was very communicative about any concerns about our older pups (8 & 12yo) — upset bellies, when monthly preventative meds were due, a funny spot on the skin, energy levels — and easy to reach even with significantly different time zones. We had just moved into this house and didn’t have everything as put away as we would have liked, and she was fine with managing the boxes and piles. Coming home to happy healthy pets is always a great end to a long trip. I would not hesitate to hire her again in the future.
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!! :)
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.
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!
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.
They took very good care of my pets which involved feeding cats twice daily, fish once or twice a day and filling up fountain for birds. Animals were healthy and happy when I returned. Nothing was lost or broken, and Diane even found a lost grinder part that had fallen into the cats food while I was using it. They are a pleasant couple. They were invited from Wednesday to Sunday. They arrived on Monday so had 3 days instead of one to learn the pets routine. They also informed me that they wouldn't be leaving until Monday morning, but that worked out well since I was mistaken about the end date of my cruise and couldn't get home until Monday. Everything was left neat, but I had minor housekeeping to do (clean sink, fingerprints off glass table, sweep floor). They are older than stated on the profile, which they said only allows 65 as a top age. 68 and 73. Bruce has health problems that requires he sleeps sitting up in a chair that has a leg lift, which luckily I had, so he slept in my living room. They are fine caring for cats, but my friend with a dog decided to find another sitter rather than leave him with them (she was going to pay) because they seem somewhat frail.
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.
Tom and Diana were perfect house sitters and guests. Great company, our dog immediately made herself at home with Tom. Animals loved and cleaned. House spotless, great communication and even left a thank you card and gift when they left. I couldn’t recommend highly enough.
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!
Oh my Goodness! Where to begin. Linda was the perfect house sitter for us and the perfect pet sitter for Olivia! She is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. When we returned from out two week vacation all our plants were alive, the garden was alive, the birds and fish had been fed regularly, and the dog was alive and happy! What more can you ask for, right? Well with Linda you get all that and more. Updates as you request - even videos of her morning walks with Olivia. The house as spotless as we left it, maybe even better! Even the porches were clean! Linda is a genuine treasure and our recommendation would be 10 stars if there were that many!!
Alia is awesome and we have used her several times. She is a 5 star rated sitter every time. The dogs are happy and the house is perfect when we get home. She even cooked dinner for our arrival home because we came home late. Highly recommend Alia!!
