Hannah looked after our cat Felix for just shy of a week. Her communication was amazing, she was always in touch with updates and photos. Felix seemed happy and well looked after when we returned. I would recommend Hannah for your next sit!

This was my second time with Dan as a sitter, and everything was as perfect as the first time. My cats couldn't care less when I returned because he did such a good job caring for them. Even my very shy, fearful female cat loves him and sleeps with him, whereas she hardly lets strangers pet her. He's a lovely human being and excellent sitter -- very tidy, respectful, communicative, self-sufficient, etc. Anyone's pets would be lucky to have him while their people are away.

Kay is the most dedicated and caring person anyone could wish for. From the word go I knew Kay was the perfect human for Rani. Kay knows animals. Rani and Kay bonded to the point that Rani didn’t know who to go to when i arrived home. Kay also connected with the small lakeside community. Many friends and neighbours met Kay and Rani out and about on walks and in cafes. Kay kept me posted with messages and pics. Kay is warm and easy to talk with making communication easy. I walked into my place as though I hadn’t stepped out… A huge bowl of apples, plants watered, washing done, dog washed.. what more can I say except THANK YOU Auntie Kay 🐾🙏🏼 (Rani won’t forget you!!)

Our fur baby seems to be a pretty good judge of character and she absolutely agrees with all of Jill’s previous 5 star reviews. From easy and very pleasant communication prior, to a wonderful chat when we met, to lovely messages whilst we were away and the spotless house we return to, we can’t recommend Jill enough to anyone who would like some top notch care of their cats (or really any animal). Very grateful :)

Caroline was a fabulous pet sitter. Communication was very smooth. She asked lots of questions about our pets needs and although they are quite low maintenance I felt that she would have gone the extra mile in their care if needed. We negotiated that she could bring her elderly dog with her for the sit which was a great bonus as our dogs loved the extra doggy company. Thanks Caroline! Kate and Doug

What fantastic housesitters Barry and Anna were. They kept in touch whilst we were away, treated the animals so they didn’t miss us a bit, and left the house sparkling clean and neat. They were communicative and responsive, and helped us enormously filling in for another sitter who had to decline earlier. We would certainly invite them any time to look after our house and animals.

Alex was super friendly, flexible and approachable. He made me feel super comfortable and took care of my cat Coco brilliantly. I came home to a ridiculously clean flat and a cuddly kitty. I would’ve loved more updates (pics/vids) but in all fairness, Alex did send some videos every couple of days and he replied to every single one of my messages very quickly so I’m sure he would’ve sent more updates if I had asked him to do so. I couldn’t recommend him enough, and he is welcome back any time! Coco misses you already! 🐈‍⬛

Chris was a great housesitter. Both cats were drawn to him right away (including the shy, reclusive one!). He was communicative without needing to text us all the time, and left our house spotless.

Lesley & Joe are absolutely delightful and were great house sitters. They are very well organised, sent us regular updates on Loki while we were away and left our house spotlessly clean. We would happily have them sit for us again.

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!

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.

Evan and Maria were fabulous. They are experienced sitters and it shows in their independence. They sent regular updates, but not too regular and were totally self sufficient. Most importantly both the house and dog were perfect when we returned home.

Brian was great and was my first sitter experience through TH to look after my two little dogs and one of them was a recent rescue I had for a month and learning new things and still training. Brian was good with communication, clear about his travel plans and we managed adjustments to him coming in early by a day. This was helpful for me to feel I can personally give orientation to my home and pets before leaving for a few days. Brian was also good with the hand-off to my next sitter when weather conditions delayed me. I came back to a tidy home and happy pets. Brian was calm with my new pup's minor furniture destruction. Thankfully I bought the warranty! I would recommend Brian to anyone and would consider him again for future sits!

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.

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

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.

Alia is a wonderful furbaby sitter and also a wonderful person.  It is our privilege to have her for the 3rd time.  She keeps us informed, our dogs love her, and she even cooked dinner and left it for us.  The house was perfect when she left.

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.
