Lisa
Old City, Knoxville
Reliable and Loving Care for your Pets and Home
It was a treat to have Lisa stay at my home and care for Tuck and Koa! She was very communicative, reliable, and has a kind, lovely personality. The pups were happy and content when I returned, and my home was spotless and cozy. I can't wait to have Lisa stay again, and I would recommend her 100%!
Maria
Old City, Knoxville
Mature, peaceful couple
On a scale of 1 to 5 (with 5 as best) we would rate Maria and Lu as 12 or better. They should be the poster people for all house/pet sitters. They dealt with a difficult situation when the Koi began to spawn and left the house better than they found it. They seemed to enjoy their stay and our dog loved them. They even did extra chores above and beyond such as cleaning the BBQ, changing light bulbs, and organizing the garage. Communication was excellent and they even left several home cooked meals for us so that we would not have to cook on our first day back. We invited them back for another stay in August and they accepted. We feel that we not only found great sitters, but great friends that we hope to see often in the future.

So love animals and travel!
What to say about this fabulous mother-daughter duo.....? I'm pretty sure Tina Turner wrote a song about them....Simply the Best! Gail and Taylor are two awesome people who have the best energy and just love love love animals! My dogs got the royal treatment with these two ladies, so much so that Winnie is still sulking her aunties who love to spoil her are gone. :) They sent updates all the time, including pictures, which reassured me that the dogs were having fun and getting top notch care. If you ever come across these two ladies wanting to sit for you, do yourself a favor and book them! I hope they come back to sit for me again one day and I would welcome it in a heartbeat!
Lisa

Semi-retired, experienced pet owners looking to care for your house and pets.
Lisa and Ken are the loveliest people who were such super house sitters. All the fur babies were very happy. House was left is a great condition. I would highly recommend them.
Yesenia
Old City, Knoxville
Looking to share our hearts for animal love and travel
Yesenia and MJ were absolutely wonderful pet sitters! They were thorough and prepared before they arrived and had seamless communication throughout the whole stay. They sent us lots of updates and took wonderful care of Lady and our yard. We would have them back absolutely any time and are so grateful for their help.
Nina
Old City, Knoxville
Professional, responsible, quiet solo female to love on your furbabies
Nina was an amazing house-sitter! Our fur babies were well taken care of, we got updates, and house was cleaner than we left it upon our return. Excellent communication and very easy to talk to. Thank you for working with our date changes too, wish you all the best!
Rachel
Old City, Knoxville
Empathetic pet companion
Rachel stayed at our house for 6 weeks and took fantastic care of our two somewhat-needy cats as well as our house and yard! The experience was entirely positive, and we would not hesitate for an instant to have her back for another sit!! We confirmed Rachel as a long-term sitter for our two old men (cats) after reading her profile and reviews, and then having a Zoom meeting. She has the perfect combination of good humor, “laidbackness”, and seriousness when it came to caring for the cats. She was able to laugh at their weirdness (and they ARE weird), take mishaps in stride (litter box misses, etc.), provide their daily medications on schedule, and ask appropriate questions when things seemed a little off or she identified concerns. She has a presence that put us at ease immediately upon arrival, and the cats took to her very quickly. She asked us how often we would like updates, and how would we like them delivered, and then she provided them without fail at least as often as requested. We arrived home relaxed because we never worried about how things were going at home, and were happy to arrive to two healthy, happy cats, a well-kept yard, and a spotless(!!) house. As we said before, we would be thrilled to have Rachel sit for us again any time in the future, and we’re quite sure that Petey and Bucky would be excited to have her back as well!
Sara
Old City, Knoxville
World Travelers with ridiculously flexible schedules
Sara and her family were wonderful! Sara was very responsive and thoughtful in coordinating the details of what was needed. My older dog Lucy was quite pampered with extra walks and treats. I appreciated getting updates throughout the week to assure me things were going well. And a bonus, her husband Tom fixed our dryer so it vented properly. They left the house extremely near and tidy with clean beds made up. I would recommend Sara and her family in a heartbeat.
Sophia
Old City, Knoxville
Caring well and respectfully for your property and pets.
We have used zeewoi many times, and Sophia was one of our top sitters. She was flexible, reliable, personable and organized. We could see from the first minute that she has a way with animals, and we felt completely confident that our cat was in good hands while we were gone. In fact, I was sure he would be disappointed to see us return! Sophia took amazing care of Grey Cat, who is fairly laid back but definitely set in some of his ways. Our house was spotless and Sophia gets the award for having put everything back exactly where it belonged. We would love to have her back for another sit, and since we travel a lot, it’s not out of the question.

Another great sit!
Reviews from Dog Owners
Laura
This was our first house/pet sit with @zeewoi and we were extremely pleased! Robert showed up when he said he would, he accommodated our timelines and our dog's scheduled routine. He left our home in excellent shape and we had a very happy, relaxed pup to come home to. It was important to us that Robert meet us via video chat or in person before we left and he went above and beyond. He sent photos of our dog, Cooper, and him throughout the sit and we could tell that Cooper was very happy with Robert. He responded immediately to our texts, giving him updates about our return. Communication is so important for making sure both the sitter and the house owners are confident in one another. Robert is very outgoing and friendly and we have 100% confidence in him to look after our home and our dog when we are away. We look forward to Robert providing another future home sit.
Natalie
Kelly was an excellent sitter for us. She communicated well, before the sit and during the sit. When we got home, the dogs and our guinea pig were happy and well. Kelly was dependable and showed up exactly on time. The house was well maintained and clean when we arrived home. We would definitely host Kelly again.
Kara
Denise was by far the best pet sitter we have ever had! She watched our two pups while we were gone for 3 weeks and took amazing care of our dogs and home. She took the time to ask questions and make sure she understood each dog’s needs as well as how to take the best care of our house before we left. She sent videos everyday updating us on how the pups were doing. We were so happy to see how much quality time she was spending with them and how much they loved her. Our dogs were so sad to see her leave and we can’t wait to have her back. Denise made sure that the house was in perfect condition when she left and treated our home as if it were her own. If you are looking for a pet sitter, look no further. Highly recommend Denise!
Alexis
We had the pleasure of having Maggie (for the second time) to take care of our home and beloved dog Frida while we were away for 2 weeks. We couldn’t be happier! Neither could Frida! Our big dog is sometimes a bit stubborn and Maggie managed amazingly. We had daily photos and video, and Frida was clearly very happy, comfortable and very well looked after. We highly recommend Maggie to anyone in need of trustworthy and dedicated house sitter and animal lover
Rob
David was a great sitter for our dog! It was just him for this sit. He was very communicative before, during, and after the stay. He visited the apartment before we left to meet our dog and talk with us, and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and confident that our dog was in good hands. He sent us updates throughout the stay, and left the apartment in great condition. While our dog is on the older side, he can still be a handful at times, but David didn’t seem to have any problems. Would definitely recommend David for any future sit!

I’m sure most folks say the nicest things about their sitter, but honestly, if there were a “super star” status available then Denise would win the prize as sitter of the year! From the start, Denise was an excellent communicator. While we were still in the decision phase, Denise was always available to chat either by FaceTime, telephone or text. It was so easy to choose Denise; as you can see from her countless 5 star reviews, she truly is the only pet sitter you’d ever need and the one everyone hopes to have. Denise came to our house eager to meet us, our pets and the quirks of our house. Denise has an excellent sense of humor and immediately put us all at ease. Our pets took to her as if she was a long lost friend (even our finicky Siamese cat was loving on her from the start). While we were gone, our dog had a non-emergency health issue come up and just like that Denise was taking her to our vet, and administered the dog’s meds like a champion (Denise is also a nurse BTW). Additionally, Denise brought our pup to her scheduled groom appointments and even made future appointments for us to make our return home as seamless as possible. Denise was even above and beyond helpful to our neighbors and they appreciated her giving them access to our refrigerator when theirs broke down on Thanksgiving Eve! When we got home we were super impressed by how perfectly immaculate our house was! Most sitters leave the house clean, but Denise met and may have even exceeded our military standards of clean and orderly. Seriously, our house felt like we never left it. Everything was spotless, shinny and clean. She didn’t miss a beat!! Our pets were so happy to see us but honestly, I felt like our pup and kitty were disappointed when we walked in the door (I believe they were expecting to see Denise!). Haha. If you are ever fortunate enough to have Denise apply for any of your sits then I can’t recommend her enough. Seriously, you can stop reviewing applicants and just go with Denise. She was awesome in every sense of the word and I hope she’ll come back and stay with our pets again.

Cindy is an absolutely fantastic sitter and we feel very lucky to have had her care for our dog and our home whilst we went on our family holiday. Her communication before and throughout our sit was fantastic, and she even took our dog to the vet when he needed an unexpected checkup. She took great care of him and sent daily updates including videos and photos of their time together. We could tell that he felt very relaxed in her company. Thank you so much Cindy - it is a real godsend to have someone so kind and caring to take care of your pets and home and we would be delighted to have Cindy back again in future.

Care and compassion for my dogs was at the top of the list of John's attributes. He was the first sitter I have used through zeewoi that was close enough to come meet the dogs before the sit. John not only came for an initial meet and greet, but he made time to meet the pups a second time prior to my departure to better familiarize himself with both the dogs and my home. Having put the fear of God in him about Penny's reactivity (I might have been a bit over the top, but better more attentive than less!), he was cautious with her in the beginning. Later in the sit, they trooped off to the beach on multiple occasions - all good! My 10-yr-old was on some meds for a serious battle with arthritis, and John managed Cooper's needs beautifully. John even made a call and a trip to the vet to re-up Coop's prescription when it was clear he needed to continue the protocol. I received daily updates by text, including photos and video; communication is hugely important to me. I feel blessed to have had John care for my fur-babies.

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!!
Geo
Truly The Best House sitters Ever!!! Shannon, Travis and their son were absolutely terrific. I’m so lucky to have had the genuine pleasure of meeting them. Very warm, generous, open and loving people. My dog Wolfie usually barks at men who come in the house and I was a little worried about how he would be with Travis, but I had nothing to fear because within seriously 1 minute from Travis walking in the door, Wolfie was giving him kisses on the lips! I was so happy to receive their updates and photos and videos of my pets while I was away. They really went above and beyond taking terrific care of my many, many furry and feathered friends. When I got home, the place was sparkling clean, all linens laundered and beds made and they even left me sweet little surprises. I would welcome The Exums back with open arms anytime and highly recommend them.
