Neil
Onkaparinga, Australia
We have a lot of love to give and miss our fur baby attention seekers.
I cannot recommend Neil and Fiona enough, so if they apply for a sit then please don’t hesitate to accept their application! Neil kept in touch from the moment I accepted their application and we liaised a lot prior to the sit so we all knew each other’s plans and I felt completely comfortable with our plans. We were able to spend time together on the day of their arrival, prior to when we left for our holiday. We got on really well and so I was more that delighted, and relaxed, to leave my home and my precious girl in their care. During the sit Neil and Fiona kept in touch and it was lovely to receive news from home with lovely photos of Sophie Louise and to hear a little of their adventures of where they’d visited during their stay. That meant a lot! We returned to an immaculate home and a happy and contented Sophie Louise. There were a few special touches which were lovely and after the nightmare journey home, meant so much! Thank you Neil and Fiona. I would welcome you back any time you’re next in the UK. I 100% recommend you to anyone who receives your application for a sit, without hesitation.
Facundo
Onkaparinga, Australia
We are an Argentinian couple who love animals traveling the world.
Facu and Manu were superb sitters, we would like to give them six stars! They are a kind, earnest and sensible young couple who will do their very best to look after your home and pets. We were able to meet them in person prior to our 2-month holiday, and we were completely confident to have them looking after our home and dog (shared between them and a neighbour). All our instructions were noted and actioned. They communicated regularly via email regarding our postal mail and general updates. They sent us some delightful photos of our pet. As a final bonus for us, they left us several homemade Argentinian treats! Finally, they left the house spotless (even better than when we left it!) If you have the chance to have Manu and Facu sit for you, grab them.

Had great communication with Peter & Shane, they sent pictures and videos as requested while I was away. Found the house tidy and clean upon my return. Would recommend.
Vicki
Onkaparinga, Australia
Caring for others’ pets & property as I would hope they care for mine..with love
Vicki was a wonderful sitter, was extremely easy to get on with and was an excellent pet sitter for our aging cat and dog. That well loved by our pets, Coco our elderly dog kept trying to find her for the next few days after the sit. The house was left clean and tidy as we left it. If Vicki had any questions after we left, would contact me for the answer. Got updated photos of the fur babies, it was very calming to know they were being cared for and happy at home. We could go away on our short holiday knowing everything was going to be fine. Thankyou Vicki :)
Mira
Onkaparinga, Australia
Two retired Police Officers ready to care for your property and your pets!
It was lovely to meet Mira and Nigel after months of being in contact by email. We were able to have a good hand over to them before we left for our holiday. Thanks also to them for handing over to our new sitters who arrived for a further two weeks - much appreciated. We will definitely keep in touch and they are welcome to visit us anytime in the future.
Emily

Em and Dan - Aussie and Irish animal lovers!
This is tbe 2nd time Emily and Dan have dog-sat for us! I recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone looking for reliable, friendly and very competent in looking after our house and Harry our elderly dog. We would welcome them back anytime for another sit!
Mark
Onkaparinga, Australia
We are whatever you need. We're caring, kind, clean and tidy.
We have been home a few days and am still overwhelmed about everything Mark and Julie did for us! We went through all that needed to be done the previous day of them staying and had dinner together. We found them to be the most interesting, genuine, kind people, so felt very comfortable leaving. While away we knew they were more than competent and would communicate and do what we would want if a situation arose, which they did! One of our dogs was sick, they took him to our vet, let us know and picked him up the next day. Our Vet informed us they were wonderful and we are very grateful. We have dogs, cats , 2 calves, 2 Ponies, baby lamb still on bottle, chooks and a cocky, all animal area's were clean and tidy, they got a new bale of hay and tied cover over it. It was the most organised it's ever been! We arrived home to an immaculate house, flowers, Pikelets jam and cream. So appreciated as we had the 1 am flight and then two and a half hours drive home! We have 4 cats who are timid but were all inside and as relaxed as I have ever seen and our very attention seeking dog was laying on lounge, head on Mark! I also have to mention Mark cleaned our glass in our fire place which we have tried but never came up sparkling like this! Needless to say we are so appreciative and happy with Mark and Julie, anyone who is lucky enough to get them will be able to relax and enjoy the experience of having this couple! Thank you Mark and Julie, happy travels!
Kelly
Onkaparinga, Australia
Tidy, compassionate, animal-loving Registered Nurse
Kelly was a beautiful carer for my girls and looked after them with love and hugs. She sent beautiful updates and photos and keft the house spotless. I would highly recommend Kelly to anyone needing a loving, caring, kind, passionate person to take wonderful care of their pets and home. Thank you Kelly, so appreciate you ❤️
Andrea
Onkaparinga, Australia
Semi-Retired fit and active couple, experienced house-sitters.
This was the first time we had used Zeewoi, and I’ll be honest I did have some apprehensions about strangers not only being in our home but also about looking after our precious dog. However, from our first video call with Andrea & Mark, my husband & I felt at ease with them coming into our home and looking after not only our home & garden, but also our beautiful dog. Andrea & Mark were very considerate of our dog’s cheeky but chilled personality, and I know from the photos we received our dog was more than comfortable with them staying in our home and spoiling her with love and affection. It was a delight to arrive home & find the house spotlessly clean with some treats waiting for us and a very happy puppy dog to great me. I have no hesitation in recommending Andrea & Mark
Meg
Onkaparinga, Australia
Aussie travel & animal loving friends keen to explore the world!
Meg looked after our two cats for around 10 days and was excellent! Meg kindly agreed to meet up beforehand to be introduced to the cats and get to know the flat. During the sit, Meg was responsive and sent updates, looked after the cats well and also took great care of our flat and left it nice and clean for our return. Would definitely recommend Meg and would love for her to come and do another sit.

Jana
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 😃
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.

Susan and Jim were exceptional pet sitters for our 2 pups and cat! From the start they were communicative and asked thoughtful clarifying questions that made us feel comfortable immediately. We spent time together the evening before we left for vacation and it was clear that they had read our welcome doc and instructions. They referenced animal behaviors that were noted and confirmed details. They arrived about an hour before we left and gave us all plenty of time to feel comfortable with being in our home. Throughout our vacation, Susan sent photos and updates of our critters and let us know how they were spending their time together. Susan was quick to respond to my messages via WhatsApp any time I reached out. Susan and Jim stayed at our house until we landed at the airport and let them know we were safely on the ground. They fed and walked the dogs and let us know they would be gone before we got home. It was great knowing that had our flight been delayed, they would have stayed at the house until we were safe driving distance away. We came home to a sparkling clean home, a thriving and happy garden, and well cared for animals! Susan and Jim left us detailed notes of their stay and even gave us lots of instructions on how to keep our garden happy! What a treat! All our linens were washed and replaced and the house was immaculate. Thank you Susan and Jim for choosing our home and furry family to spend your time with! You were the best first experience we could have asked for and would love to have you back again!

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.

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!
Laura
Alexandria was by far our best sitter yet (and we've had excellent zeewoi sitters)! She was responsible, self sufficient and very responsive. She took the time to come meet our dog ahead of time and to run through the routine before our trip. She was communicative and sent great pics of her adventures with Rupee while we were away. She was extremely clean and followed our household routine. And to top it al off, she left us with a homemade vegetable soup for our jet lagged return home from Europe! Alexandria is a wonderful, kind and caring person that I am grateful to have met. I cannot thank you enough Alexandria!
Ann
Susan and Jim were amazing sitters for my 2 boys whilst I went to Portugal to play golf. Communication we had prior to the sit was excellent, and we were able to discuss the dogs in detail. They arrived the day before I was due to leave so we were able to have a good handover. They really looked after the dogs well, and my house was immaculate when I returned. I can't recommend them highly enough, just wished they lived in the UK so I could use them on a regular basis. Thank you Susan and Jim xx
Courtney
Amara was a WONDERFUL sitter for our home and our dogs for the weekend. We were so comfortable with her being in our home, and she provided regular updates and photos of our babies. The house was clean upon arrival home - we would have no hesitation recommending her to others and hope she would consider coming back to spend more time with our dogs!
Jane
Piper was a wonderful sitter and I would definitely have her come again. My dog .Winston loved her and was very happy while I was gone. When I returned home everything was orderly and clean, she changed her bed and washed all the towels. I totallly recommend Piper to sit at your home.
Sharon
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!!
