Morgan
Oak Bay, Canada
Caring animal lovers who will take meticulous care of your home and property.
This is the 4th housesit with Ron and Morgan. They are the best. They are reliable and trustworthy; they love our pets, and our house is spotless when we return from our trip. They are flexible and accommodating. Our pets get excited when they see their vehicle and hear their voices. Ron and Morgan are adaptable even having to deal with a large black bear in the yard. If you want a great housesitter; I highly recommend this sweet couple
Coral
Oak Bay, Canada
Retired dependable Canadian couple exploring the world
Coral and Ken are supremely competent, caring, knowledgable and responsible. They made sure they had all the information needed prior to the start of the sit, kept in regular contact with us while we were away, efficiently handled every aspect of pet and house-sitting, and welcomed us home to two happy and healthy pups and a sparkling clean home. They took initiative - for example, contacting us when our peonies began to bloom and then droop, so that Ken could McGyver a way to support them (he loves a handy project!), - and were on top of the medication and rehab for our pup who recently had knee surgery. They not only asked us for the recipe for the frozen vegetable cubes we make for the pups when the ones we had made ran out, but they came up with a perfect name for them: "pupsicles"! They even checked with us at the end of the sit to find out what groceries they could pick for us, so we arrived home with a few comforts in the fridge. We know how very fortunate we are to have had Coral and Ken care for our precious dogs and home, and we cannot thank them enough.

Charlie and Lu were fantastic, caring, sweet and fun Petsitters.

We couldn’t have asked for better Petsitters/Housesitters and we would love to have them back again anytime. Highly recommend 💕
Richard
Oak Bay, Canada
A lover of life and animals at your service.
Richard rescued our holiday plans at short notice after our original sitters had to cancel at short notice, we are hugely grateful to him for stepping in and turning a potential nightmare into a success in a calm and efficient manner. Richard is a very pleasant man, quiet and calm and self sufficient. Our cat was extremely happy in his care and company and has missed him since he left. He was good at sending regular updates and didn’t trouble us with any issues while we were away. He also kindly offered to get basic supplies in for us for our return, which was very thoughtful. I’m sure had there been any problems , he would have been more than capable of dealing with them. The house was very clean and tidy on our return and he had also tidied up our drive and garden, which was an unexpected pleasant surprise. We would happily have Richard to house sit again and would highly recommend him.
Reviews from Dog Owners

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
Sheri
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!
Michelle
Brian was a wonderful sitter for our 11 year old dog and also took great care of our home. He sent me pictures every day and let me know how Macklin was doing which always helps ease my mind. Our home was clean and tidy when we returned and everything in its place. I'd recommend Brian to anyone looking for excellent care by a friendly person!
Stephen
Lea is seriously the best! We lucked out big time with her as our house sitter. She didn't just watch our home; she made it sparkle, and our dog Mezy? Well, he fell head over paws for her! Mezy's doesn't always warm up to new folks so easily but Lea had this magical charm that had him wagging his tail from day one. She showered him with cuddles and playtime, and we got daily photo updates that were basically cuteness overload. But Lea didn't stop at being the dog whisperer. Every nook and cranny was squeaky clean, and it felt like we were walking into a Pinterest-worthy home. Our plants thrived under her care too. Communication was a breeze with Lea. She kept us in the loop about everything and replied to our messages super quickly. It gave us peace of mind knowing she had everything under control. Lea's not just a house sitter - her friendly, laid-back vibe made everything so easy. We can't thank her enough for taking such great care of Mezy and our home. We're definitely booking her for all our future adventures. If you want your pets to adore your house sitter and come back to a spotless home, Lea is the one to call. Thanks a million, Lea!

If we could give 10 out of 5 stars for Candace, Brian, and Chris, we would! They were amazing house and dog sitters for Brown Dog and Scout. They were so accommodating with our timeline and had read our welcome guide to a tee! It was so reassuring being gone for 2 weeks and knowing our pups were in amazing hands. They sent us daily updates and pictures and it was clear the dogs were so well cared for! They left the house very clean and even had all of our bedding and towels washed for us when we arrived home. Would absolutely recommend them for a sit and would love to have them back again any time!
Sally & Andy
Lori is the best of the best! I would recommend her 100 times over! Lori is great at communicating and our dogs were extremely happy. She was very attuned to our dog’s anxiety and did a great job making the dogs feel safe and loved. The house was spotless when we returned. Lori also had the job of taking care of my numerous plants. I have to say the plants look better when I got home than they did before I left😂 Lori has a green thumb. Lori is so kind and just a wonderful person. Rest assured if you choose her as your sitter your dog and home are in the best hands. Thank you again, Lori! Blessings!

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.

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.
Craig
Ryan is a great house and pet sitter and I definitely recommend him. He took excellent care of my apartment and my dog for peace of mind when I was away. He is professional, friendly, and experienced.
Paula
Lori and Joe took great care of our two dogs and tow cats while we were gone. Our plans changed and we actually asked if they could come a day before we had originally planned to leave and they said no problem! They even stayed over on the night we got home so that we could meet them which was very nice! Lori was very good with communication before the house sit and also during the time they were here. She let us they had arrived safely and then sent us a short text or pictures every day of the animals. The house looked cleaner than when we left it when we got home! Lori and Joe were great house sitters and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them!
