Adrienne
Riley, Indiana
Pet-loving cat-whispering wander-lusting network engineer
We joined zeewoi recently and were lucky enough to quickly connect with Adrianne. She was communicative, kind, and tidy. Our dog bonded with her instantly. She sent us updates and pictures of our little dog every day. The bonus: we came back to the house as we left it. 😊
Mary
Riley, Indiana
Pet lover and home care giver!
Mary was the perfect house/pet sitter. She took great care of Talula and our house. She was calm and resourceful when needed and seemed to have really bonded with our dog. Talula was happy and fit when we returned after 2 months. Mary left the house super clean, texted/emailed us as necessary, and sent pictures of the dog — all much appreciated. We couldn’t recommend Mary highly enough. Faith and Eric
Chelsea
Riley, Indiana
The Purr-fect Pet Sitter
Chelsea was super communicative and very flexible. I felt confident that Mayzie and our house was well taken care of. She did a great job with the outdoor and indoor plants also! Would definitely ask her to sit again!
Grace
Riley, Indiana
We will bring you peace of mind and care to your home and loved ones!
It was clear from the first moment I met Grace off the train that she was going to be a great housesitter. She and the dogs just loved each other and she gave them wonderful long and stimulating walks plus lots of attention and cuddles when back at home relaxing. Her approach is very professional as pet/housesitting is what she does. I especially liked the way she double checked important things to know (that she had already read in the Welcome Guide) just to be certain that she would get it right. As I do with all my sitters, we spent some time together before and after the sit and that was lovely..she is a woman who is thoughtful, very genuine and full of integrity as well as being great fun to be with. She is a person who truly cares about animals, humans and the world. I recommend her most highly and hope we may meet again

Trustworthy, single, mature woman to care for pets, plants and garden.
Beth took care of our cats and garden, however, communication was difficult.
Maya
Riley, Indiana
Experienced Couple, Trusted Partners in Care: Professional Pet-Sitting Services
We appreciate the good job Maya and Jono did caring for our many plants, and our dogs seemed to be well cared for. Unfortunately, Maya was sick when she and Jono arrived for the sit, and she reported being sick the entire stay. When our doorbell camera showed a car had been in the driveway all night the first night after we left and the visitor had come with a dog, we asked if they had had an overnight dog visitor. They replied yes, but it was a service dog because the friend had a disability. We explained that our dogs don't get along with other dogs and we do not want another dog staying in the house; they became defensive, and the relationship with Maya and Jono became adversarial from that point on. Maya said that she was offended that we were not sensitive to people with disabilities. She also noted that they had made great sacrifices to do the sit, and we were insufficiently grateful. After several days of arguing via text, we decided that we would have to come home from our trip early. With zeewoi' assistance, we came to a mutually agreeable return date five days earlier than planned. When we returned home, we found that Maya and Jono had left the home unsecured. The door from the garage into the house had been left unlatched, so our dogs came running out as soon as we opened the garage door. The back patio door on the lower level had also been left unlocked. There were dirty dishes in the sink, and two kitchen countertops had sticky food residue. The stovetop and control panel were covered with grease splatters. Our Welcome Guide disclosed that we had security cameras, including an indoor camera in the great room. I pointed out the indoor camera to Jono during the house orientation. (Maya did not participate in the orientation because she was sick when she arrived and went immediately to bed.) It did not seem to be an issue, and I did not know that zeewoi now has a policy that requires indoor security cameras to be disabled during sits. After a few days, Maya reported the camera to zeewoi as if she had discovered a hidden camera! This was the ninth time we used zeewoi and the only time we had a contentious relationship with the housesitters. It was also the only time we felt so uncomfortable with the housesitters that we needed to come home early.
Reviews from Dog Owners
Lauren
Kathleen was a fantastic sitter and Olive and Noodle miss her already. She was great about sending pictures and updates - never had to ask anything, she always beat us to it. She didn't assume anything that wasn't clearly stated - always asked us beforehand. She was great with our dogs - they immediately bonded with her and didn't want to leave her side. We really appreciated being able to go away and not worry about our pets' welfare, we knew immediately they were being so well taken care of. We hope to host Kathleen again soon!!
Jana
Eliza was my first sitter after signing up on zeewoi. I’m Soooo happy to have had her in my home watching over my dogs. They were very well taken care of and she did everything I asked her to do with the dogs meals and medication. Plus she took excellent care of my home and plants. If you are lucky enough to get Eliza to stay at your home, you will be so glad it was she who took care of things! Very happy 😃
Nicole
We’re so grateful for the love and care Vanessa gave our two dogs while we were traveling for a weekend. During our trip, she sent us pictures and our dogs always looked happy and at ease. Even during a thunderstorm she cared for our scared older dog who unfortunately had a little accident, and she cleaned up with no complaint. We didn’t have to worry at all which let us truly enjoy our weekend away knowing our dogs were in the best hands! Vanessa was clean and tidy. We returned home to a neat house and happy pups! She even did the laundry without us asking. We would highly recommend Vanessa as a sitter for anyone. Thank you so much!!
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.
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)!
Jacqueline
If we could give 10 out of 5 stars for Candace, Brian, and Chris, we would! They were amazing house and dog sitters for Brown Dog and Scout. They were so accommodating with our timeline and had read our welcome guide to a tee! It was so reassuring being gone for 2 weeks and knowing our pups were in amazing hands. They sent us daily updates and pictures and it was clear the dogs were so well cared for! They left the house very clean and even had all of our bedding and towels washed for us when we arrived home. Would absolutely recommend them for a sit and would love to have them back again any time!
Ann
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
Courtney
Amara was a WONDERFUL sitter for our home and our dogs for the weekend. We were so comfortable with her being in our home, and she provided regular updates and photos of our babies. The house was clean upon arrival home - we would have no hesitation recommending her to others and hope she would consider coming back to spend more time with our dogs!
Cynthia
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!!
Sarah
Stephanie, Brian and baby Martin took fabulous care of our home and pets for two weeks. From the outset, communication was quick, smooth and friendly and it was clear that both Stephanie and Brian are reliable, professional and warm sitters who take all the various elements of a sit seriously. They kept us up to date with photos and messages, dealt proactively and competently with any unexpected issues that popped up, and most importantly showered our dogs and gerbils with attention and care throughout the time we were away. We returned to a spotlessly clean home (with thoughtful touches of fresh milk, bacon and bread waiting for us) and happy, settled pets. In short, we would recommend Stephanie and Brian to anyone looking for reliable, attentive and proactive sitters for their pets and home. We would be delighted to welcome them back for another sit, should they ever find themselves in the area again.
