Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica
Reliable, retired professional offering highest standard of pet and home care.
Sali was wonderful. This was my very first experience with Zeewoi and I am truly impressed. Sali and I zoom chatted a few times prior to her arriving here. She bonded with Maui and Daisy immediately and I fully trusted her with them and my home! Once I returned my home was cleaner than I had left it and all the outdoor plants were happy and lawn watered as well. I can’t wait to have her back in the future. Im looking forward to using this platform for many more opportunities plus I just might just sign up to also pet sit somewhere else in the word. I see this as a win win to get me off my couch and see places I have never been before. At 72 it’s time right? I’m blessed to have learned of this site and very blessed to have Sali as my first sitter.

Two Costa Ricans with a “pura vida” philosophy….sharing love, kindness and care
Kikki and Tavo were the absolute BEST sitters for my two cats Badger and Monty. They are very organised and had lots of questions about food and care. From the moment I met them I knew it was a perfect match. They kept the flat in perfect condition - it was definitely cleaner when I got home than I left it! - and they showered the boys with love and affection and kept me updated with pictures and funny videos. It was clear the cats had a great time. In fact, now I’m home I think the cats want me to go away again so they can have more cuddles with their new friends!! Thank you both so much, best Catsitters ever!! Xxx

Vanessa is lovely and looked after our cat Tilly and our bungalow perfectly. Great communication throughout, organised and reliable. We highly recommend her.

Extraordinary Home & Pet Caretakers (Trilingual)
Daniel and Tabatha are a very nice couple, friendly and always ready to help when they are not very busy working overseas on their computers. They looked after our 2 ponies (only feeding, bringing to the field and back (no stable cleaning) and Tabatha did that very nicely during the days we were away. They looked as well after our 3 dogs without any problems and they (the dogs) seemed very happy when we came back .Although Daniel and Tabitha took excellent care of our animals while we were away, it's a shame that, despite our request, they forgot to water the heat-sensitive plants in our garden. The same applies to their accommodation (a separate studio with own kitchen, bathroom and terrace). It was perfectly clean when they arrived and I have to admit that it would have been nice to find it as clean, the dishes dried and back in the cupboard and their fridge empty of all their food, drinks and started dishes. An excuse message 1 hour after leaving is nice but a little too easy ;-). Could do better next time.

Your fury friends won't even realize you are gone!
Brittany was a great communicator and organized . Although I had to cancel my pet sit due to the passing of jack she was understanding and offered her condolences . Thank You Brittany , perhaps another time.

Experienced house and pet sitter
Frank and Maribel are kind and gentle people. This was our first experience with zeewoi.com and it was a good one. Frank and Mary were reliable and respectful of us and our home. We were able to relax. Our home is unusual. It has no walls and is open to the jungle and I hope their experience went well. We have one old dog who is a breeze and a one year old chihuahua that just got spayed and is a job! I’m very grateful for my experience with Frank and Mary. Highly recommend them to anyone!

Avid animal lovers ready to assist you & your fur babies so you can travel :)
I recently had the pleasure of having Candace as my pet/house sitter through Zeewoi, and once again, she delivered stellar service! This was my second time hiring her, and she truly exceeded my expectations. From the moment I returned home, it was clear that both my cats and I had enjoyed her company. She not only took excellent care of them but also went the extra mile to ensure they were comfortable and happy. I especially appreciated her warm and friendly demeanor, which made me feel at ease during my time away. Candace has mentioned that she will be moving to Costa Rica soon, and while I’m sad to see her go, I have no doubt that the people on the island will appreciate her pleasant personality, culinary skills, and deep love for animals just as much as I did. If you're looking for a reliable and caring sitter for your pets or house, I highly recommend Candace. She is truly a gem!

Flexible, pragmatic, retired, experience, communicative, homeowners.
Barry and Lesley were fantastic pet sitters for my senior lab, Lula. She was instantly comfortable with them and so relaxed when I got home. They communicated well throughout their stay and left the house spotless. I would be delighted to have them back any time.

A trustworthy couple of home & pet sitters for peace of mind while you're away!
We were thrilled to have Ivón & Jesser dog and housesit for us. This was a 2-month assignment and they were diligent about sending us pictures and videos of our babies. They bonded beautifully with our 3 dogs, including one that doesn’t take to new people easily. The house was clean and tidy when we returned. We would not hesitate to have them sit for us again in the future.
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!
Joe and Casey were very easy going and reliable. We organised the sit way in advance with a video chat and we had adequate communication leading up to the sit. We handed over the house and animals after a fairly swift explanation of everything. Being experienced sitters Joe and Casey didn't need us to over explain anything (hopefully they felt the same) and we could see very quickly that they were animal lovers. They asked us how much communication we needed whilst away and we said "no news is good news". So we received just the right amount of updates along with the most adorable photos and reassuring words about all the animals. It was clear that they quickly understood the character of each of the animals. We forgot to mention that Tipper likes to dig dirt beds around the garden which creates quite a mess and it was obvious that these were kept under control. The garden and pool were well cared for. We enjoyed a relaxing couple of weeks away knowing that the animals were being loved and the dogs definitely looked for Joe and Casey when we arrived home. Our pets, home and garden were well respected and cared for and we would not hesitate to invite Joe and Casey to sit for us again.
Marlen was such a blessing. We had another sitter cancel just a week before our vacation date so I was so relieved that she was able to step in at such short notice. She came to meet our pups a few days in advance so they would recognize her. While we were away, Marlen sent picture updates and made sure the dogs were cared for. So glad to have found someone like her to help us out.
Jasmine is a five-star sitter. She is everything you want in a sitter when you go away and leave your beloved pet and home. She is reliable, communicative, respectful, and flexible. We had no worries about our dog or home while we were away, and will be having Jasmine sit for us again soon. Our home was immaculate when we got home, and our dog was obviously well-cared-for. Can't say enough good things about this wonderful human.
Theresa is a reliable and experienced pet sitter in addition to being great at keeping house! She was very accommodating in meeting me & the dogs in advance of our sit, which proved she is a true pet person: attentive to my dogs and eager to know how they should be cared for. She kept me posted while I was away & I returned to a tidy home & happy dogs! I highly recommend her!!
Our dog loved Angela, as did we! She was friendly, efficient, handled our large, happy bernadoodle effectively and with love...we could not have asked for a better dog sitter and would be happy to have her back.
Wendy sat for us on three occasions this Summer and I can’t say enough good things about her. The dogs were well taken care of and she was, organized, tidy, and responsible. It’s great to find a house/pet sitter that you can rest easy knowing everything is taken care of. We are hoping she will want to spend more time in the PNW!
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.
If you need a sitter don’t hesitate to pick Vanessa, I highly recommend her. She cared for our fur baby for two weeks and received the care and attention she needed. We came back to a very happy pup and clean home which is awesome after coming back from a long trip. I received texts and pictures of our dog while we were gone which gave us peace of mind. You could tell right from the start that she genuinely loves animals and will care for them as if they are hers. I will continue to use her as my pet sitter if she’s available. All I can say is she is a wonderful person!!
I cannot thank Jenny and Geoff enough for stepping in at the last minute after the original sitter cancelled. They are a great couple, friendly , organised and extremely capable. Also they LOVE animals. My dog and cat have clearly been given a great deal of care and attention in my absence. Jenny kept in touch with notes and lovely photos, Geoff cut my grass and I came home to a spotlessly sparkling house ! Thank you so much! Jenny and Geoff are welcome back anytime and I would not hesitate to recommend them as excellent sitters.
