Josephine
Rideau Ferry, Canada
Mature Clean Conscientious Canadian Couple with house sitting experience
Josephine and Jason were amazing. Totally self sufficient and they seem to impart a joy to everything they do. Olive was a happy camper, they taught her to swim and to do a high five. The house looked great on our return and all our plants survived through incredible heat. We would love to have them back! Thank you both for your great care!
Maryse
Rideau Ferry, Canada
Happy pets, no regrets!
We were lucky enough to have Maryse come back to look after our home and pets for a second time. When she cared for our 2 cats a couple of years ago, we could not believe how we had lucked out and have been begging her to come back ever since! We have kept in touch and to our delight, she finally announced she was coming back to NB! This time around, we added our 1.5 year old pup Enzo to the mix and he took to Maryse instantly. It is evident that Maryse has a lot of experience with dogs. She jogged with him every day and even taught him to run along her bicycle with a leash! She sent hilarious daily updates and pictures, which of course we loved. When we returned the house was spotless (cleaner than when we left!) and the lawn and flowers looked like a professional landscaper had been here. 5 stars is not nearly enough. We left with complete peace of mind knowing our furry babies were in excellent hands; what more could we ask for? Merci encore une fois Maryse, on se croise les doigts que ce ne sera pas la dernière fois! Enzo, Choupie et Rouki s’ennuient déjà!
Liza
Rideau Ferry, Canada
Kind, clean, responsible, loves animals, travel & the outdoors!
Liza was super punctual with her communication and was very flexible when it turned out my dates were wrong and needed to be changed. My dog Bo absolutely adored Liza as she is such a good person and passionate about animals. My place was cleaner when I left it and I even had freshly baked cookies to come home to. Thank you Liza for looking after my Bo.
Jude
Rideau Ferry, Canada
Retired prof. couple who have been pet owners for 35+ yrs & like to travel.
Jude and Wendy were a pleasure to have sitting at my house and taking care of my Kacey. He was very good at communicating before and during the sit. He would send daily photos and updates of their time with Kacey. They gave Kacey the best vacation while I enjoyed my vacation. They left my house in excellent condition, cleaning it before I returned home. I felt very comfortable being out of the country knowing they were taking good care of Kacey and I hope they can watch her again during my future trips.
Helen
Rideau Ferry, Canada
Canadian caregiver for your pets and home. TLC
Helen was a great sitter! She came on short notice and because we got rained out of our camping trip, offered that we could come home early (which we really appreciate!) It was her first time doing subcutaneous injections for our cat Kevin’s insulin, and she was meticulous about making sure she did it right. She called to make sure we got home and offered to come back if we got stuck. Helen was very accommodating, clean and attentive and I would have her again in a second!
Gabrielle
Rideau Ferry, Canada
Love traveling and exploring but can't do without an animal to look after!
Our cat and home were well-tended by Gabrielle. She’s very experienced and we had no hesitation leaving for two weeks. And coming home to an extremely clean home and a happy pet was wonderful.
Aaron
Rideau Ferry, Canada
Responsible, dedicated working professional to take care of your pets and home
An opportunity arose for a once in a lifetime trip, so it was a great relief that Aaron was available to house sit during those two weeks. We have had Aaron sit for us many times now and that fact alone says how much we trust him and how well he has taken care of our house and our pets. Both of the last two sits have had some issues that Aaron has gone out of his way to solve plus I was delayed a day returning to Ottawa and Aaron assured me, from the beginning of my epic trek home, that he would stay that extra day if needed. He has communicated issues extremely well and uses common sense in his initiative to solve any problems. Aaron had both of our cats this time (One travels with my wife when she is working in the U. S.), and it is obvious that they are extremely comfortable around him. I think they get more cuddle time with him than they do with me. Honestly, Aaron has been the perfect sitter for us and I am sure you will say the same if he sits for you.
Nicole
Rideau Ferry, Canada
Have backpack, will house-sit. Seeing the world through pet colored glasses.
It was such a delight having Nicole and Tim "substitute" for us. They are warm, caring, fun, wonderful people who sent adorable photos and took excellent care of our pets. Buddy and Artemis adored them. They got more loving from our cat than we do! How is this for above and beyond: Nicole and Tim even took care of Sammy, the dog next door who is Buddy's best friend, for a few nights when Sammy's mommy had to fly to Oahu for a few days. They took the dog(s) to dog park every day, enjoyed hanging out with our dog park friends, and even spent time and enjoyed meals with our neighbors!! I am absolutely certain that Buddy and Artemis had a fantastic time with Nicole and Tim. And they took great care of our home and cars as well. Mahalo nui, Nicole and Tim. Aloha nui me ke pumehana.
Munira
Rideau Ferry, Canada
Mature reliable mum and responsible son
Munira and her son, Mohammed, are dream housesitters. Munira was great about sending updates about my sweet elderly little cat. My cat hurt her paw jumping down from something and Munira informed me immediately, sent videos, and monitored her recovery. Munira even brought her food and water up to the room where she was staying when she noticed that my cat hadn't been down to eat. And you couldn't even tell that she and Mohammed had stayed in my house. Everything was as I left it - clean, tidy, and everything in its place. She and Mohammed were a delight and I would have them back again in a heartbeat. I cannot recommend them enough.
Jessie
Rideau Ferry, Canada
Enjoy your time away worry-free!
If Jessie writes an application to housesit for you, your search is over! She is amazing. This is the second time she comes to take care of our two beloved cats and house and the minute she steps in, I am on vacation. Jessie is warm, present and loving but also attentive to details. Coming back from vacation, the cats are calm and happy and the house looks great. I am grateful beyond words! Thank you Jessie and please come back!
Reviews from Dog Owners
Wendy & Rob
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.
Sheri
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!
Allyson
Susan and Jim were exceptional pet sitters for our 2 pups and cat! From the start they were communicative and asked thoughtful clarifying questions that made us feel comfortable immediately. We spent time together the evening before we left for vacation and it was clear that they had read our welcome doc and instructions. They referenced animal behaviors that were noted and confirmed details. They arrived about an hour before we left and gave us all plenty of time to feel comfortable with being in our home. Throughout our vacation, Susan sent photos and updates of our critters and let us know how they were spending their time together. Susan was quick to respond to my messages via WhatsApp any time I reached out. Susan and Jim stayed at our house until we landed at the airport and let them know we were safely on the ground. They fed and walked the dogs and let us know they would be gone before we got home. It was great knowing that had our flight been delayed, they would have stayed at the house until we were safe driving distance away. We came home to a sparkling clean home, a thriving and happy garden, and well cared for animals! Susan and Jim left us detailed notes of their stay and even gave us lots of instructions on how to keep our garden happy! What a treat! All our linens were washed and replaced and the house was immaculate. Thank you Susan and Jim for choosing our home and furry family to spend your time with! You were the best first experience we could have asked for and would love to have you back again!
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.
SOPHIA
I've always been lucky with my sitters through zeewoi, and this time was no exception. George, Larissa and their four lovely children were the absolute perfection in house guests and I cannot praise this wonderful family too highly. They did all the usual things you'd expect, gave my beautiful girls all the love and care I could wish, walked them at least once every day despite the best the British weather could throw at them, and sent me regular updates and photos so I could see how much love they were getting. They also left the house cleaner and tidier than I think I've ever seen it! I'm a bit worried that all they did for the week was walk and play with the dogs and then clean the house - I'm beyond grateful, the place looks amazing! They really are the very nicest people too, George has a hilarious sense of humour (thanks for the funny texts George!) and Larissa is calm, kind and an inspiration as a mother. I really can't wait to have them back to look after the girls again in the summer and wish the whole family a wonderful trip until then. If they come and house sit for you then you are in for a real treat!

Mikayla was a superb house/dog sitter for us for one full week. She was an excellent communicator, very quiet and tidy (respectful of the space) and best of all she quickly bonded with our big dog Mouse. She cheerfully took her for long walks and shared photo updates regularly. I highly recommend Mikayla.
Colleen
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!
Susanne
Dede (Duha) is definitely one of our top house/pet sitters so far! The moment we met I knew she was the perfect fit for us. She is the most loving, caring and responsible sitter one could wish for! She send us regular updates of her daily adventures with Kenzie and Ginger and we could not have felt more at ease. I know for sure that our dog fell deeply in love with her and misses her much. We hope to invite Dede back into our home soon! Five stars all the way!!
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.
Christopher
As ever, Charlie was the perfect dog/house sitter - took loving care of our dog and looked after the house and garden as if they were her own; all returned in immaculate conditon!
