Non-smoking, work-from-home, pet loving couple for all your house, plant, and pe
If you are lucky enough to have Lauren and Dalyn house and pet sit for you, you and your pets will be very, very happy! Lauren's communication from your first conversation is excellent and fun and puts you at ease that "all will be well while you're away". She'll text you daily, occasionally or not at all, whatever you prefer and she sends great pictures. Our two dogs got long daily walks, lots of love and lots of attention. When we got home and walked in our house, our pups were very ho-hum about our arrival, as if they hadn't even noticed we were gone! That's good pet sitting 😊. To add to that, they also take exceptionally good care of your home. They whole house was immaculate, not a dog hair on the floor (how she did that I have no idea), all the laundry was done and professionally folded (not exaggerating), and she had prepped a meal for our first night home, which was excellent! Not to mention fresh flowers around the house. Oh, and the yard was freshly mowed. Just wow. Lauren and Dalyn are just an exceptional young couple.

Dog mom from Hawaii, experienced in caring for animals and gardens.
This was our second sit with Michele and Poppy, and we’d be delighted to have them back any time! Michele is an attentive and very caring pet sitter and takes great care of everything.

Where the road leads we follow but usually with a leash in hand.
Michelle and Garrett were great! They came pretty last minute which was great. They were able to take care of our two dogs and 27 chickens. One of our dogs we've only had for a month, and they did great with her! I'd recommend them and use them at sitters again if they are available.

Lifelong pet-lover with trusted petsitting and vet office experience
Jaya watched our cat and home for a long weekend in October. She was very communicative and responsive, provided timely updates and was very pleasant to interact with. We came home to a happy cat and a spotless house. I recommend Jaya for future sits!

Two Professors who love animals!
It was a true privilege to have Tammy, Carl and Morgaine stay at our home. They are genuinely a delight! Our dogs took to them straight away upon meeting, and were exhausted (and happy!) upon our return knowing they had enjoyed themselves thoroughly and been properly exercised. Our chickens area was immaculate and our plants had been watered and weeded beautifully. Our home was genuinely sparkling on return, they had stripped all bedding and towels and washed everything - they even offered to get groceries in for us knowing we were getting back late with little children - just so thoughtful and above and beyond. If you are ever lucky enough to have them offer to housesit for you do not hesitate! Thank you so much Tammy, Carl and Morgaine!

Nomads who can't imagine their life without pets!
Vincent & Anastasia were outstanding in taking care of Murphy & Pretzel along with teaching them some new tricks. It was evident when they left the two were looking for them. Highly recommend!

Quality time, nature, nutrition, and cuddles!
Catherine was super great at communication. She was also extremely organized, clean, and respectful. Woody, my dog warmed up to her immediately. I would definitely have her back.

Olivia had to catch a plane before I arrived home, so she made sure my dog was all set with going out and eating breakfast before she left. When I arrived home my dog seemed happy and healthy. I couldn't ask for more than that!

Respectful family of five with lots of animal care experience.
Curtis and Elizabeth were amazing house sitters. This is the second time they sat for us, and I could not be happier. Their children are well behaved and know how to play with my dog. I came home to a house that was cleaner than I left it. And, they left me some beautiful flowers as well. I cannot wait to have them sit for me again.

Sweet travel fairy that loves to snuggle animals!
Having Lexy stay in our home was wonderful. She took such great care of our pup, and sent regular video & photo updates! She kept the house tidy, and even stripped the bedding for us. I would absolutely recommend her for any stay!
My dog had a medical emergency while in John’s care and I credit him with saving my pup’s life. You couldn’t ask for a better sitter in a pressure situation. He also communicated regularly during the stay, keeping me posted on how my pup was doing. Would recommend John to anyone who needs a sitter they can trust.
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.
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!
Diane and Les were excellent pet and house sitters. Jet was a very happy dog when we returned and Diane had shared many photos of their days together while we were away on holiday. The house was very clean and tidy when we returned and some milk , bread and sweet treats had been left for us, which were very welcome after our 2 long flights home. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Diane and Les as sitters for your home and pets, everything was done to a high standard and Jet was happy in his usual environment , which is all we wished for. Many thanks to you both.
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!
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.
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.
To this list of attributes I would add flexible, capable, sensitive, extremely good with the dogs even if one of mine is sometimes a little ornery, and just a wonderful person all around. Because of constantly changing circumstances due to a move and coronavirus, my dogs ended up spending not two weeks but a whole month with John and they were so comfortable and happy. John helped them in so many ways and coordinated shipping them overseas, he went above and beyond the wildest stretches of what a house sitter entails and did it with a smile and a laugh and reassurances that all would be well. And indeed he was absolutely right - the dogs arrived so well cared for that all my fears of them being traumatized went out the window. John’s flexibility, and his kindness as well as his impeccable maintenance of my house in my absence all make me recommend him an absolute 10 out of 10. Thank you John for all your help this summer!!

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!
You could not ask for better house and pet sitters than Ken and Jane! Before the sit: Communicating with Ken and Jane prior to our scheduled week went smoothly. They were proactive about planning. They came out to the house prior to the sit and spent a couple of hours going over things about the house, meeting the pets, and getting familiar and comfortable with everything. They were delightful people to meet; I was wishing for a couple of days to just hang out and play tourist with them! During the sit: Ken and Jane sent me daily updates and photos of their outings with my pups and with their interactions with my kitties. I appreciated how they chose the sit partly because of their love of exploring rural areas, because that's what I have here! They were perfectly suited to my home and pets. Ken absolutely loves cats and is an intuitive and experienced kitty-handler. Jane really bonded with one of my kitties; both of them made great progress with all three of my cats, each of which is pretty shy at first, and one can be a real problem child. They worked very hard to give love to each pet and ensure that each felt calm, happy, and cared for. They spend tons of time outdoors with my border collie/retrievers. The dogs had daily "spa time" after walks and outdoor playtime, having their long fur brushed on my front porch (which the dogs love!). They sent me happy photos every day. If anything came up, they just handled it. They really seemed to enjoy their adventures and the pets each day, which made my time away that much more enjoyable. After the sit: I was thankful to have some time with Ken and Jane when I returned from my trip. All the pets were calm, happy, and healthy when I got home. Ken and Jane had left me a detailed note about that last day to make re-entry easy. They sweetly left a thank you note and a bottle of wine on the kitchen table also (a very sweet and unexpected surprise!). They seemed quite sad to leave my "kids;" Jane left with tears in her eyes, saying goodbye to my dogs. We've kept in touch since the sit. My whole house really misses them. Oh, and the house was immaculate and plants all watered (inside and out) when I got home! If you're looking for kind, competent, caring, organized and responsible people to care for your home and pets, invite Ken and Jane!
