Carolyn
Penetanguishene, Canada
Carolyn and Jeff
We were understandably apprehensive about leaving our home and animal in someone else's care but Carolyn and Jeff were absolutely the BEST experience we could've asked for. Our 110 pound Rhodesian Ridgeback, Bodhi, had a few special needs which Carolyn and Jeff handled as well as if he were their own. It's always a little nerve-racking to leave your fur-baby behind (especially when you fall into the "dog crazy" category) and Carolyn and Jeff were amazing at alleviating those fears. We had confirmed their stay three months out and their communication leading up to the visit was phenomenal; we really got to get a great feel of each other during that time. I had invited them to come get settled in the night before, have them over for dinner, and get to know one another and it turned out to be a great dinner party with lovely guests. Even when they pulled up in our driveway I felt that I could already trust them as we had such good communication prior to their arrival. So when we left the following day, it was a relief to know my dog and house were in good hands. While we were on vacation, they sent pictures of Bodhi daily (and sometimes more than once!), with regular updates on his eccentric and goofy behavior. They took him on two walks a day and had no issues feeding him his special raw food diet as well as his midday bones for teeth cleaning. When we got back from the trip the house was in great shape and I could tell my dog was not only relaxed but even missed his temporary guardians! As a very gracious and generous plus, Carolyn and Jeff left us some lovely flowers and a beautiful card. If we ever have a chance to use them again in the future I won't hesitate! We could not have wished for better or more trustworthy people.
Gerry
Penetanguishene, Canada
Dog and Cat Lovers waiting to help out other pet lovers who have to travel
Gerry was incredible! When we met him with Wagner, there was an immediate connection between the two of them. During our trip, we felt very relaxed because every picture from Wagner showed him looking very happy. Additionally, Gerry left the apartment clean and tidy; everything was perfect! His energy was the best, and he stayed with Wagner until we confirmed that our flight was on time and we were going to arrive home with him. We would love for Gerry to stay again; we are sure Wagner already misses him.
Janet
Penetanguishene, Canada
Responsible retired couple
Loved having Janet and Al take care of my puppy!. While I was overseas, they would take pictures of Aoife and go to McDonald’s and use the Wi-Fi to send them to me since I have no Wi-Fi – simply can’t afford it and do these mission trips. At My request they actually stayed overnight a couple of weeks before my petsit d/t they had two pets sets further south. Aoife warmed up to them immediately! They made sure they played ball with her and walked her every day, even though it rained a lot of the days they were here. She was well taken care of. I never worried the entire time I was overseas. My house was very clean when I got home and Janet left me little flower .arrangements and a wonderful dessert for me to enjoy! You will be completely satisfied having them pet sit for your beloved pet! I hope they come back again!!!
Mike
Penetanguishene, Canada
The Perfect House Sitters
Mike and Penny were great sitters! We spoke on the phone first and then met them before the sit so they could get to know Magnum. We felt confident to leave Magnum in their care. We were concerned that Magnum would not eat for 1 or 2 days - but nope...he ate and came to the family room and hung around with Mike and Penny. Happy dog! Mike communicated well by text and phone. They left our home as we had left it for them - clean and tidy. Mike and Penny are confident sitters (ours being a large dog). They are coming back again - this time for 2 weeks to look after Magnum. Highly recommend Mike and Penny for your dog/pet!
Kelly
Penetanguishene, Canada
Caring and Responsible Homeowners Would Like to Housesit For You!
We couldn’t have asked for better care for our pup. Kelly and Patrick provided a video chat before the visit and came to meet us in person before we left for our trip. We felt very relaxed knowing our pup was in good hands. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!
Rayna
Penetanguishene, Canada
Caregiver Extraordinaire
It was an absolute pleasure to have Rayna stay at our home and take care of our little zoo. She communicated with us the whole time we were away, sharing adorable pictures of all our pets. We felt so good knowing that they were being so well taken care of. Heidi, our dog, fell in love with Rayna. She kept her busy with plenty of walks and hikes. Rayna also kept the house perfectly clean. If the opportunity ever presents itself, we would be grateful to have Rayna back again.
Roberta
Penetanguishene, Canada
Retired Canadian couple who love animals
Robert and Roberta were the ideal house sitters. They are clean, punctual, organized, and were very caring toward your dogs, home, and garden. Can't say enough good things about how safe we felt having this couple take care of our dogs.
Kaia
Penetanguishene, Canada
Sweet, kind hearted house sitters who love to help out!
Kaia and Jamie were excellent house and pet sitters! They were wonderfully communicative before, after and during their housesit. They left our home impeccably clean, the plants watered, and you could tell that the animals were well cared for. Kaia went ABOVE AND BEYOND when I inadvertently left Christmas presents at my home and she quickly shipped them to me - literally saving our Christmas. I highly recommend Kaia and Jamie for all your house and pet sitting needs. I know that you won't be disappointed!
Nicole
Penetanguishene, Canada
Pick us! Pick us!
It was great to have Nicole stay with our pets and look after our home - she took great care of both! She was very responsive and kept us up to date on things at home. She took our dog for long walks and would send photo updates! We'd be more than happy to have Nicole back again, and would definitely recommend her to other.
Sharon
Penetanguishene, Canada
Experienced, responsible Canadian couple
Words cannot describe how amazing Sharon and Brian are! Not only were they very self-sufficient they went above and beyond by going that extra mile to make my return home less stressful. Highly recommend them and would LOVE to have them back!
Reviews from Dog Owners
Tess
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!
Mia
Anita was a wonderful dog sitter for Balto! They were super tentative, made sure to ask any and all questions before we went away, and they sent the best updates about Balto while we were gone. I felt so much better knowing my dog was in great hands, and I could not recommend Anita enough! Quality care, and our apartment was spotless when we returned home.
Suzie
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.
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!
Julia
Ryan was one of our best sitters we’ve had! Ryan is so lovely to chat with and we looked forward to meeting him before our trip. He was organized and communicated his plans clearly with us and was easy to communicate with while we were away. Our dog took to him immediately and so we knew we could relax while away. Our home was in great shape when we returned and it was nice to get a debrief from him as well. We’d love to have Ryan back anytime, and so would Steve (our dog)!
Linda
Cristina is simply the best house/pet sitter that we have ever had. She is responsible and dependable and an experienced dog owner. Our Wheaten, Bridie, adores her and misses her when she leaves.
Velia
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.
Anne
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!
Linda
Christina handled Bridie's first-ever time without us perfectly. We returned after 5 days to a happy, well-cared for and well-exercised pup --- and an emaculate house. Christina knows dogs and helped us with a few Bridie issues. We got photos and some updates while away. She was flexible and very sensitive to all of our needs. Chrisrina is the best sitter that we have ever had.

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.
