H was a delightful housesitter. He is a fascinating conversationalist, extremely tidy, and a real lover of dogs. Cowboy took to him immediately maybe because of the many walks, back scratches, and belly rubs that he sensed were coming. H also took care of the yard, watered plants, and kept the fountains full. I would be happy to have H stay in my house and sit for my dog anytime. He is on my list of go to Housesitters.

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.

Sherri was a wonderful sitter!! We were happy to find her and consider her a gem. She was neat, conscientious, and went over and beyond with care of the house. Our two pups appreciated her companionship and care. Sherri was an excellent communicator. She was proactive with questions and thought of many details. I just joined zeewoi and had an excellent first experience!

This is my second time using Zeewoi and I'm loving it! Brooke and Ish are great house and pet sitters and completely get the whole concept of this symbiotic opportunity. They are thoughtful, respectful and great caretakers of my home and my cat Holly. I actually offered them an extended stay beyond our return home since they were going to have a few days till their next sit. So glad they took us up on it! Very interesting getting to hear about their travels and experiences from the sitter side. I would definitely have them sit again if their travels have them back in these parts❣️Anyone would be fortunate to have them available to sit their home and pets.

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.

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

From her promptness to schedule a pre-sit call to her truly thorough tidying of our house, Stella was an amazing housesitter from start to finish!!
She read all the info we put together ahead of time, and asked for clarification on just a few things which made us confident that the pup and the house were in good shape :)
Stella was really gracious when we admitted to not having a coffee pot, and handling things calmly when there was an incident with street parking. 
Maybe most importantly though our dog Luke was calm when we came home. I think if future sitters are clear in their expectations around frequency of communication/photos and the dogs needs then Stella is the perfect person to exceed your expectations!

Such a great family! George, Larissa and their crew were a fantastic bunch. Our large senior dog got an eye infection right before we left for our trip and so we had to ask them to do some extra eye care. When it was clear that it wasn’t getting better they were willing to load up Lorax and take him to a vet appointment and then apply the prescribed ointment for the next week and a half. Definitely above and beyond care that we really appreciated!
Our house was left in great shape, our pets were super well cared for, and George and Larissa were great communicators. We have had many many sitters over the past 3 years but this was the first family. Nothing to worry about, they were terrific and we would happily have them back again. 
Thanks for taking such good care of our fury family and our home!

Jo & David were absolutely amazing sitters for our house and dog Rosie while we were out of town for 2 1/2 weeks. They are the best! Jo was super communicative and responsive at all times. She and David bonded with our dog, who grew very attached to them. They left our house super clean (and there were even chocolate chip cookies for us on our return)! Most of all, they are just super nice people and very easy to work with. Anyone is lucky to have JoAnna & David housesit for them.

We initially accepted Deirdre and Jason for a long stay to look after our dogs.  We were very happy they accepted.  A few weeks later we realized we needed another sitter for another trip we had planned.  So, we posted more dates on zeewoi.  To our happy surprise,  Deirdre and Jason reached out to us saying they could also look after our dogs and home with the new dates we posted.   This made our life much easier and we were very confident to have Deirdre and Jason stay longer with us and care for our dogs.

We were definitely right!! D&J have countless experiences on zeewoi with very good reviews from all of their previous sits.  They are very experienced with all aspects of a house/pet sitting.  D&J are very self-sufficient, have the background knowledge and education of pet care, and most importantly a genuine love for all animals.  This is most important for my wife and I.  We knew from the first meeting with our pups they loved animals.  

Communication was excellent.  The process before and during our sit was stress-free for us.  We were given daily updates on our dogs including photos and videos.  Any concerns D&J had were vocalized to us.  D&J are also problem solvers and know how to react many challenging situations.  Our routine for our pets was followed immaculately and all dogs were very happy and connected with them.  Even our female dog Kinki grew close so quickly with D&J which is very rare.  We had ZERO issues while we were gone and we were able to really enjoy our trip while we were away.  The dogs definitely love being around D&J.


Homecare:  We are very pleased with the condition of our home when we returned.  It was clean, free of clutter, and exactly how we had left it for them, if not even better!  D&J even mowed our grass and took care of our yard! Our yard is not a small garden.  It is very big and takes hours to mow.  So we were very surprised and excited to know they did that for us even though it's not expected of our sitters!! They definitely went above and beyond what is expected. 

Our dogs are so very important to us.  When we know we can trust our sitters it's the best feeling in the world.  We definitely trust Deirdre and Jason with our most prized possessions and we look forward to the next sit with them in a few days!!! We can't thank them enough for giving our dogs the love and attention they deserve. 

We highly recommend Deirdre and Jason for your future sittings and you can always feel free to contact Izabela and I about D&J for additional verification from us.  They are fantastic!

Thanks so much Deirdre and Jason!

-Allen and Izabela

If you need a sitter don’t hesitate to pick Vanessa, I highly recommend her. She cared for our fur baby for two weeks and received the care and attention she needed. We came back to a very happy pup and clean home which is awesome after coming back from a long trip. I received texts and pictures of our dog while we were gone which gave us peace of mind. You could tell right from the start that she genuinely loves animals and will care for them as if they are hers. I will continue to use her as my pet sitter if she’s available. All I can say is she is a wonderful person!!

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.

Christina handled Bridie's first-ever time without us perfectly.  We returned after 5 days to a happy, well-cared for and well-exercised pup --- and an emaculate house.  Christina knows dogs and helped us with a few Bridie issues.  We got photos and some updates while away. She was flexible and very sensitive to all of our needs.  Chrisrina is the best sitter that we have ever had.

Stephanie, Brian and baby Martin took fabulous care of our home and pets for two weeks. 

From the outset, communication was quick, smooth and friendly and it was clear that both Stephanie and Brian are reliable, professional and warm sitters who take all the various elements of a sit seriously.

They kept us up to date with photos and messages, dealt proactively and competently with any unexpected issues that popped up, and most importantly showered our dogs and gerbils with attention and care throughout the time we were away. We returned to a spotlessly clean home (with thoughtful touches of fresh milk, bacon and bread waiting for us) and happy, settled pets. 

In short, we would recommend Stephanie and Brian to anyone looking for reliable, attentive and proactive sitters for their pets and home. We would be delighted to welcome them back for another sit, should they ever find themselves in the area again.
