Carolyn and Jeff
We were understandably apprehensive about leaving our home and animal in someone else's care but Carolyn and Jeff were absolutely the BEST experience we could've asked for. Our 110 pound Rhodesian Ridgeback, Bodhi, had a few special needs which Carolyn and Jeff handled as well as if he were their own. It's always a little nerve-racking to leave your fur-baby behind (especially when you fall into the "dog crazy" category) and Carolyn and Jeff were amazing at alleviating those fears. We had confirmed their stay three months out and their communication leading up to the visit was phenomenal; we really got to get a great feel of each other during that time. I had invited them to come get settled in the night before, have them over for dinner, and get to know one another and it turned out to be a great dinner party with lovely guests. Even when they pulled up in our driveway I felt that I could already trust them as we had such good communication prior to their arrival. So when we left the following day, it was a relief to know my dog and house were in good hands. While we were on vacation, they sent pictures of Bodhi daily (and sometimes more than once!), with regular updates on his eccentric and goofy behavior. They took him on two walks a day and had no issues feeding him his special raw food diet as well as his midday bones for teeth cleaning. When we got back from the trip the house was in great shape and I could tell my dog was not only relaxed but even missed his temporary guardians! As a very gracious and generous plus, Carolyn and Jeff left us some lovely flowers and a beautiful card. If we ever have a chance to use them again in the future I won't hesitate! We could not have wished for better or more trustworthy people.

Animal loving couple to look after your pets and home
Patti and her husband were dream house sitters and looked after our dog beautifully and with care. It was so easy to hand over our house to them and not worry about our old dog while we were away. I would not hesitate to recommend them to others and they will be my first call when we travel next time. Love this service!!

Caring and Responsible Homeowners Would Like to Housesit For You!
We couldn’t have asked for better care for our pup. Kelly and Patrick provided a video chat before the visit and came to meet us in person before we left for our trip. We felt very relaxed knowing our pup was in good hands. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Valerie did a great job keeping up with two pets medications, and added extra walks for the dogs. She was timely and considerate and the house was looked great when we got back. I would highly recommend!

Professional, clean, and responsible 40-something couple with no children.
Laura and Jody were fantastic to deal with from start to finish. Since they were coming all the way from Canada, they came a day early just in case anything went wrong with flights, and they were extremely organized from the minute we confirmed the sit. They are a delightful couple with a wonderful attitude, extremely self sufficient and with tremendous initiative. Tembo was very comfortable with them from the moment they met, and we happily went on holiday knowing that he would be well cared for. They sent lovely photos regularly during the sit, and left our home in perfect condition - and with a load of groceries for us too! I can't recommend them enough as house sitters and dog lovers - I just wished they lived closer so that they could come back for our next trip!

Sandy and Marlene took great care of our two cats recently for 6 days. They were great to deal with leading up to their stay. They left our house in immaculate condition and were kind enough to also keep some of our flower pots alive during the period. We would highly recommend them to others.

Kind and considerate couple who love animals will care for your home and pets
Jim and Joanne just completed an 11 day pet sit with our 7 year old Lab, Willow. Jim and Joanne were wonderful, kind and gracious pet sitters. Communication was excellent before and during their stay. Willow was extremely well taken care of with multiple walks per day and lots of love and attention. Jim and Joanne asked lots of questions and were very mindful of details regarding the house, pool, plants and most importantly pet care. We returned to an immaculate home and even a gift bag with goodies which was totally appreciated and completely unexpected. We would highly recommend Jim and Joanne for a pet sit and hope we will have the opportunity to have them back to care for Willow.

Pick us! Pick us!
It was great to have Nicole stay with our pets and look after our home - she took great care of both! She was very responsive and kept us up to date on things at home. She took our dog for long walks and would send photo updates! We'd be more than happy to have Nicole back again, and would definitely recommend her to other.

Experienced, responsible Canadian couple
Words cannot describe how amazing Sharon and Brian are! Not only were they very self-sufficient they went above and beyond by going that extra mile to make my return home less stressful. Highly recommend them and would LOVE to have them back!
Kathleen was a fantastic sitter and Olive and Noodle miss her already. She was great about sending pictures and updates - never had to ask anything, she always beat us to it. She didn't assume anything that wasn't clearly stated - always asked us beforehand. She was great with our dogs - they immediately bonded with her and didn't want to leave her side. We really appreciated being able to go away and not worry about our pets' welfare, we knew immediately they were being so well taken care of. We hope to host Kathleen again soon!!
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 😃
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
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!
Ryan was one of our best sitters we’ve had! Ryan is so lovely to chat with and we looked forward to meeting him before our trip. He was organized and communicated his plans clearly with us and was easy to communicate with while we were away. Our dog took to him immediately and so we knew we could relax while away. Our home was in great shape when we returned and it was nice to get a debrief from him as well. We’d love to have Ryan back anytime, and so would Steve (our dog)!
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!
Wendy was the perfect dog sitter and house sitter for us. She managed our house and dog and in such a caring a responsible way. Wendy was prompt with communicating with us and managed situations that arose professionally. Our house was spotless and our dog happy when arrived home. I knew everything thing was in good hands while we were away. I hope we can invited her to stay with us again.
Mikayla was a superb house/dog sitter for us for one full week. She was an excellent communicator, very quiet and tidy (respectful of the space) and best of all she quickly bonded with our big dog Mouse. She cheerfully took her for long walks and shared photo updates regularly. I highly recommend Mikayla.
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.
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!!
