Laura was absolutely amazing! I wish we could have her house sit for us every time we go away. It was so lovely to meet her before hand and she put us at ease straight away. Laura gave us regular updates about the cats and sent us lots of cute pictures of them. Her communication was exceptional and her kind, warm and caring nature enabled the cats to take to her quickly. One of our cats isn’t usually friendly with strangers, but we could tell that he was instantly comfortable with her in the house. Laura left the house very clean and we returned home to 2 very happy cats 😸

Kari and her family were perfect sitters! Wonderful communication, easy to prepare for/with, and a home that was cleaner than we left it upon return. The cats were happy and - from the pictures Kari sent - they were clearly having a great time. We'd love to welcome Karin and her family back anytime!

Samantha was simply over the top amazing. June our doggie fell head over heels for her, our kitties snuggled up with her every night and even our aloof chameleon allowed her to take him out of the cage for some time in the sun. When we came home our house was immaculate, sheets cleaned and ready to go. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Truly truly. We feel so very fortunate to have found Samantha and once again are very thankful to zeewoi for this fantastic service. Wish there were 6 stars!

Bridget and Joe took great care of our birds while we were away and left us feeling very relaxed and at ease. The birds were very happy and content when we came home and we could tell they'd take the time to bond with them. They are reliable, tidy, friendly, and kind people and we'd be happy to welcome them back!

Elizabeth and Matt took great care of my many dogs, cats and farm animals! They are very reliable and Liz is super nice! Didn’t get a chance to meet Matt, as he arrived after we left but appears that little Buttercup really enjoyed snuggles with him! They sent pics and video clips and just did an amazing job with everything. I would welcome them back anytime to sit for the farm!

I was so impressed with Michelle's house sitting time. When I walked into my house when we returned home, the only sign that she and Erik had been there was a beautiful bouquet of flowers. In the past, my house was clean, but not nearly as clean and picked up as when I left. I personally do not like to come home from vacation and have to clean my house, especially when I clean it before I leave. Chloe can be a little standoffish with strangers, yet she bonded with Michelle and even slept with her and Erik. Big kudos to her! Lark is a busy young lab and they did a great job of keeping her out of trouble. I can't say enough about Michelle as a house sitter and I truly feel you won't be disappointed if you choose her to sit for you.

Barbara did a great job of caring for our cat! She even looked after the garden while we were gone, and went above and beyond by giving the ferals (who are in the process of trap and release) some food and water. She was communicative, confident, independent -I was never worried our cat was too far off her routine. Lastly, Barbara is a delight as a person! Funny, kind, and totally trustworthy.

My dog had a medical emergency while in John’s care and I credit him with saving my pup’s life. You couldn’t ask for a better sitter in a pressure situation. He also communicated regularly during the stay, keeping me posted on how my pup was doing. Would recommend John to anyone who needs a sitter they can trust.

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

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!

Joe was an excellent sitter and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away, dealing with one of our pup’s surgery recovery, which was an unexpected circumstance just prior to our trip. We felt fully comfortable and were so grateful to know that all of our dogs and our home were in such good hands during his stay. Highly recommend!

Lisa and Matt were absolutely fantastic sitters for us and our dog, Moose.  
Not only were they flexible when our flight was changed last minute, they also were able to stay an extra day to accommodate the changes.  They communicated with us promptly during the scheduling and planning process for the housesit.  They arrived on time on the (re)scheduled day.  They acclimated to our dog very quickly and gave us piece of mind as we left by taking him on a walk to avoid his separation anxiety.  We chatted every day and exchanged photos of Moose playing at the beach and in the yard.  He was so happy!  No problems were encountered with the house.  Even our neighbors commented on how friendly and kind Lisa and Matt both were and how they really cared for Moose.  
The house was spotless when we returned.  Everything in proper order, better than we left it.  
We can't thank them enough for the excellent experience!

Joe arrived some days before I left, so I could show him some nice places in Switzerland and he had enough of time to learn all about the dogs and how to handle them. He is an amazing nice and an animal/natur loving person who took care of my dog with incredible affection when I was in vacation. I could really enjoy it, because I knew, everything is ok at home. He sent me picutres and I could see, how much fun they have together. He cooked for the dogs, mad a lot of nice hikes with them and huged them, when they need it - so he even got the trust from Artu (as a man really not easy). 
And not only that, he made woodruff punch for me and sowed my tomatoes and spoiled them with melt water. And he helped also the women which looked after the horses and helped her to going walk with them.
Generelly he is super friendly, so everyone in the village likes him.

He is considerate of your belongings and has handed the house back neatly. He is just the best. I'm so gratuful he was here.

So, if you have a chance to get him as a sitter, take it. Your animals will be grateful to you and have a good time while you are on vacation.

Joe, you're not just a dog sitter for me. You were so familiar to me from the first moment. We had a lot of fun and we already miss you sooooo much. I'm really looking forward to see you again in some monthes.

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.

I was fortunate to have Lisa as a sitter for my active, 7-year old lab mix (Ozzy) for a week in Bend.   Lisa took the time to meet us via Facetime and in person before her stay.  It was apparent she wanted to be well-prepared and aware of any special doggie needs he may have, or any help I needed with watering plants or bringing in mail.   She took great care of Ozzy while I was away and sent me regular updates and photos of their outdoor adventures.  I returned home to a very happy dog and a house exactly as I had left it.  I'd welcome Lisa back anytime!

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 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!!
