I can't recommend Donna and Tony highly enough. They were absolutely brilliant and I didn't have a moment's concern leaving them in our house nor with our twelve and a half year old retriever. I would definitely use them again if they would like to come!

Carol & Ray were amazing, they arrived a day early for the sit and stayed in a local motel so they could meet us & the kittens before we went on holiday, this was so helpful and thoughtful! Carol sent us a really nice email with an account of their time with our kittens, its clear when you meet Carol that she really loves animals, our cats were both very happy and relaxed on our return and our house was very clean and tidy. Highly recommend.

This was my first experience of using zeewoi and I was delighted with the care and attention Kate provided. I had chance to meet with Kate before I left Flori with her. I felt 100% confident going away for 8 days. Flori has never been left in her 7 years. We returned to a chilled out Flori and a neat and tidy house. Thank you Kate I will certainly use zeewoi again and hopefully Kate too.

As far as house sitters are concerned, Steve & Helen are simply the best. They are well experienced, professionals in this field and this showed in the way our property and pet were cared for during their 3 month stay. Our house and gardens were pristinely maintained, and maintenance issues rapidly dealt with. Of importance was when our cat was in need of urgent medical attention, Steve & Helen quickly and competently attended to his needs and continued to do so when he was convalescing. We had an immediate rapport when we first met Steve and Helen, and this continued throughout their stay. We hope to continue this friendship in the future. If you are looking for a house sitter, you won't find anyone better than this couple.

Fabio and Melanie looked after my two dogs for just over two weeks. If they apply for a sit with you, I strongly recommend you consider them. They were great communicators and came to visit the dogs the day before the sit started, which made my departure easy as the dogs were already comfortable with them. During the sit they sent me pictures and movies, which were much appreciated. On my return they had cleaned the apartment beautifully(thanks SO much!). Most importantly, the dogs seemed very happy and well cared for. Thanks Fabio and Melanie for being such amazing sitters!!

We had a wonderful experience with Gaylee as our sitter! From the moment we connected, she was friendly, communicative, and attentive. Gaylee arrived the day before the sit and so we were able to have a meal together and get to know each other and show her some of Billy's routine, and go for a walk. together. She, and her friend Jill took great care of our home and, more importantly, our dog Billy. Billy instantly warmed to Gaylee, and it was clear that he was well looked after while we were away. We returned to a spotless home and very happy dog! We were able to enjoy our time away without any worries. We'd highly recommend Gaylee for anyone looking for a reliable and caring house/pet sitter! Thanks so much Gaylee!

Mark was a great sitter. Good communication, willing to meet us prior to going on holiday and focused on giving our two cats the care they needed. Mark sent us some pics of the cats relaxing with him and the house was spotless when we got home. We couldn't have asked for more. Thanks Mark. We don't travel much, but would be happy for you to sit for us again. Bernadette & Owen

Simply the best. We cannot praise her enough. Our dog Jack loved her and was clearly very content with his time spent with Helen. Helen arrived the night before we left for our holiday. We and Jack bonded very quickly with her. . She was so easy and cheerful. It was such a relief. It meant that we could go away knowing Jack would be fine and of course he was. Helen gives gold star care. She is an absolute treasure. Thank you Helen for loving and caring for Jack. We are deeply grateful.

Erica watched my senior dog and cat for 12 days while I was traveling internationally. She was organized, responsive, and took excellent care of both my animals and my apartment while I was away. She sent me photos during the stay and my pets absolutely adored her. She has watched my pets before and I always trust her to take excellent care of them. 

Traveling internationally and leaving my pets in the care of a sitter always makes me a little nervous, since I won't always be immediately reachable. However, Erica's communication and obvious competency made me feel very comfortable about leaving my pets in her care while I was away. It's very obvious she adores spending time with the pets and caring for them.

I came home to a clean apartment and very happy and healthy pets. I would highly recommend Erica for any of your sits!

Cleo is a very lucky puppy dog to have been cared for by Matt & Lisa!  We’ve had quite a few sitters over the last 2 years with TH, and I have no reservations saying that they were the best!

First, communication was fabulous from the start.  They put me at ease before they ever got here.  Throughout the sit, there were regular updates and pictures.  

They were so very attentive to Cleo, and even ventured out with her on trail walks (Cleo’s favorite thing in the world).    They handled her medications with no problem.

It was obvious that my nervous pup was at ease and loved them, as she ended up sleeping with them!

I’d have Matt & Lisa again in a heartbeat, and would recommend to anybody!

Cyndi was fabulous. I'd describe her as the no fuss no muss dog sitter. While some dog sitters need guidance on every little detail, Cyndi was completely self-sufficient. She left the home in perfect shape and totally adored my pup. I'd gladly welcome her back anytime!

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.

First things first, Linda is awesome! If she applies for one of your sits, you have to accept! 

This was our first time using zeewoi and is also the first time we have left our dog since we got him. Obviously, we were nervous at the beginning, but Linda removed all aspects of that. She is honestly one of the nicest, kindest, most polite people you will meet. From our first initial meeting, we knew that she was the sitter for us, and for Archie. 

The day that we left, Archie let out a little cry as we said goodbye. This was the first time he had done this (it broke our heart), but we knew he was in great hands! 

Throughout the week, Linda was extremely communicative. She would send us daily updates, share videos of their walks together, and send pictures of the two of them having fun. She spoiled Archie with love, attention, and a couple of new toys! When we returned, the house was in the exact same condition as we had left it, and was very clean and tidy.  

When Linda left, Archie ran to the door, started to cry, and sat/laid there for some time - And we think that this alone is a great reflection of the kind of person that Linda is. 

Linda – It was an absolute pleasure to host you in our home, thank you for everything that you did for us and Archie, and for making our first experience a positive and memorable one. Archie misses you! We hope you get the chance to do it again for us in the future.

I was fortunate to have Lisa as a sitter for my active, 7-year old lab mix (Ozzy) for a week in Bend.   Lisa took the time to meet us via Facetime and in person before her stay.  It was apparent she wanted to be well-prepared and aware of any special doggie needs he may have, or any help I needed with watering plants or bringing in mail.   She took great care of Ozzy while I was away and sent me regular updates and photos of their outdoor adventures.  I returned home to a very happy dog and a house exactly as I had left it.  I'd welcome Lisa back anytime!

Lisa was a terrific sitter for our sweet Rosie.  She arrived the evening before the sit, and we immediately could tell how much love and attention Rosie was to get.  She provided updates and pictures which we were delighted to read, and we could tell Rosie was happy and well-cared for with Lisa on their walks and fetching sessions, on their car rides, and during Rosie’s many daily naps.  Lisa left the house in great condition, she’s very tidy and clean. Lisa’s experience with dogs and her friendly, sweet personality makes her an excellent sitter taking good care of animals while also being easy to communicate with.  I would recommend her and would gladly invite her back.

The two-leggeds and four-legged members of this household give Tess a 5-star rating! We think she's one of the best sitters you will find - highly communicative, friendly, competent, reliable, and great with pets. Tess was also flexible about start and end dates to accomodate possible winter weather complications. For this sit, Tess was able to bring along her mom, Cathy. Tess introduced me to Cathy during one of our Skype conversations prior to the sit. It was a bonus to have her here with Tess. Their travel to Marquette was complicated by weather. A fierce winter storm swept across Michigan just before the sit. It took Tess and Cathy two days to drive here but they arrived, as promised, in time for us to fly out early the next morning. We even had time for a lovely dinner together and to introduce them to the dogs and house. We left the next day and never had a moment's worry while Tess and Cathy were caring for our pets and home. Tess sent us regular updates and photos. The dogs immediately accepted them as great new additions to their pack of friends - even our cranky, old chihuahua, Nike! We returned to happy pets and a spotlessly clean home. We plan to invite Tess (and Cathy if available) to return for future sits. Thank you, Tess and Cathy!

Ranji was a wonderful pet sitter for my dog Zoe and was very easy to communicate with and kept me informed.  She took wonderful care of our condo and wouldn’t hesitate to have her in my new home in NJ if she wants to check out a new area.
