Jason is a great housesitter and cared about our cat's comfort. We were able to take our pup with us but not our cat who has separation anxiety. We received pictures and updates on how he was doing. Jason is also a kind person, and we met his girlfriend who is lovely as well. It was so nice to come back to a tidy home after traveling. Would definitely recommend!

Mary Lou & Donald were excellent sitters. We felt very comfortable leaving our sweet Gypsy & Jett in their hands. The dogs were well cared for with long walks and many belly rubs! Communication was quick and easy with updates & pictures. Both Mary Lou & Donald are very organized and followed the dog's daily schedule. The house was clean and tidy upon our arrival which I really appreciate. We highly recommend Mary Lou & Donald as your next sitters.

Tiawna was an amazing guest! My dog Quezo absolutely love her. She was patient with him and really cared for him as if he was her own. He was so sad when she left. 10/10 would recommend!

Andrea and I started out with a great video conversation and I knew she would be a solid housesitter and give Osity cat lots of attention. I was certainly not let down! Andrea showed up on time, was attentive to the details of my house and pet needs and my cat took to her arrival and touch quickly. Andrea was in touch daily with some sweet updates and photos and also water some garden area for me where I had recently planted. The house was clean and sheets washed. No issues whatsoever and Ostiy cat and I would def welcome Andrea back another time!

Brandi took great care of our house, 3 cats, and garden during the latter part of a week long sit. Despite not being able to greet her in person (since we split the sit into two segments), Brandi handled things like a pro. She FaceTimed us upon arrival to go over details, and found one of our cats, Lil, who was hiding after being spooked since the previous sitter left that morning. Brandi coaxed Lil out from under the bed and gave her a late breakfast, which made us feel at ease. She also sent a video of our elder cat Neil coughing, just to make sure it was normal, which we really appreciated. Brandi sent us regular photos and updates, and as she got more comfortable, let two of the cats outside to have some supervised play time in the nice weather. She was attentive, self-sufficient, asked great questions, and made sure the cats didn't eat each others' food! She seemed to grow more comfortable daily, even saying she loves our little prancess, Lil, who can be tricky sometimes! Additionally, she watered our young trees and some new transplants when requested, as we were concerned about the lack of rain during the week. We also appreciated Brandi's open communication, particularly when a concern came up for us, and we were able to work together to resolve it quickly. We came home to a clean and tidy house, happy cats, and a little homemade treat she left for us. We'd be happy to have her sit for us again. Thanks, Brandi!

Jayme and Sam were wonderful housesitters. They clearly understood Jampo and responded to his needs. I loved the pictures and updates they regularly sent. They were conscientious regarding house and left it in perfect shape. I especially appreciated that they were willing to stay long enough on their last day so Jampo would not be alone for too long. I'd happily have them back anytime!

Callie is THEE ABSOLUTE BEST sitter we’ve ever had! She has sat for us twice and we hope she will sit for us again in the future! Our dogs and cat absolutely adore her. She walked the pups twice a day, sent lots of photos, and was super easy to communicate with. I would 1,000% recommend Callie as a sitter for your fur kids

Tina, Peter and the kids were excellent sitters. They asked questions when they had them, sent pictures to us, took excellent care of the animals, and cleaned the house thoroughly before they left. We couldn’t have asked for more. I would highly recommend Tina and Peter for your pet sit.

Robert and Danna are absolutely the best house sitters you could ask for! They sat for us before and were so wonderful with our pets and home, and we were thrilled they returned for another house sit. They are so organized, thoughtful and considerate of our home and our pets routines. Our neighbors all thought they were amazing and kind, too. They shared photos and updates throughout their stay. They also contacted us when there was a potential issue with our dryer. How amazing is it that they took the time to troubleshoot a potential issue? We hope Robert and Danna will return to our home again one day. They are simply the best!

Julia was an amazing house sitter and dog sitter! She sent me photos and updates every day, she took my pup Jordan on long walks and gave him the love, care, and patience that he needs. She was so easy and comfortable to communicate with and she left the house so clean and tidy for when I came back. Definitely recommend her!!!

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

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.

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.

Wendy sat for us on three occasions this Summer and I can’t say enough good things about her. The dogs were well taken care of and she was, organized, tidy, and responsible. It’s great to find a house/pet sitter that you can rest easy knowing everything is taken care of. We are hoping she will want to spend more time in the PNW!

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.

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!!

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 cannot thank Jenny and Geoff enough for stepping in at the last minute after the original sitter cancelled. They are a great couple, friendly , organised and extremely capable. Also they LOVE animals.  My dog and cat have clearly been given a great deal of care and attention in my absence. 
Jenny kept in touch with notes and lovely photos, Geoff cut my grass and I came home to a spotlessly sparkling house ! Thank you so much! 
Jenny and Geoff are welcome back anytime and I would not hesitate to recommend them as excellent sitters.
