David and Fiona were incredible sitters! They updated us daily, and we loved the humorous quips from David. From the moment we met them we knew they would be good sitters for George. We came home to the happiest boy and a spotless apartment. They even gifted us a gorgeous houseplant!! We'd happily have David and Fiona sit for us again any time!

David has excellent reviews for a reason! He is a true cat lover and immediately won over our suspicious clan. Looking after 12 cats requires time, patience and organization, and David excelled at all these things. The communication before the sit was excellent. He asked lots of questions and made sure he understood the routines and expectations. During the sit he sent lots of photos and videos, which was much appreciated. He also managed some unexpected issues, like getting a prescription for one of the cats and giving her pills every day. He watered the plants regularly and took care of the house. Due to unexpected changes in work circumstances, my husband and I returned home earlier than planned. David was flexible and understanding as we worked this out, and made a challenging couple of weeks much smoother than they might have been. Overall, having David as a sitter was a great experience. Highly recommended!

Our experience with Ray was excellent. It was our first time using Trusted House-sitter, and we were delighted. Communication flowed very well. Rocky is currently undergoing treatment for his eyes, and Ray helped us continue it. When we arrived, the house was clean and tidy. He was even kind enough to change the sheets for us since our flight was arriving very late. We truly recommend Ray 100%. He is very responsible and respectful.

My dogs loved Mona and Oliver and I could not have been happier with their pet care and their home care. 😊 True animal enthusiasts, they were great with communication, sending pictures and messages, making sure I knew that Colonel and Winnie were doing fine and getting great care. In addition to making sure my buddies were taken care of, they were very respectful of my apartment and left it in perfect condition. Both Mona and Oliver are open and warm, with a kind, easy going disposition. I would absolutely welcome them back at any time!

Rocio and Rafa came back for a third time to look after our beloved cockapoo! We absolutely love welcoming them to stay and our dog as always was so excited to see them. Having Rocio and Rafa house sit means we can go on holiday with zero worries and feel happy knowing our dog is having the best time with them and that our house is also well looked after. We would recommend them to everyone and hope to see them again!

Thanks so much Rebecca for the wonderful housesit, from all of us at camp. Fifi, Chicken and Egg were all so calm and happy after your sit. I’m very grateful that the kitties got a very well needed one to one time too as one of the first times I’d gone away since the socialisation intro process started. Also I am thankful for such a positive experience being a first time zeewoi user. It is clear that Rebecca is gifted with both animals and humans alike. All 3 pets flocked to her immediately on arrival, Fifi who can still be shy around newbies was immediately gingerly jumping around her for cuddles and hellos and Egg who normally takes time to warm up was on the bed before you could say meaw. Rebecca’s contact was always sweet and kind and timely and appreciated. She also kept the house spotless and had hoovered before I got back. I would not hesitate to recommend Rebecca and she will be welcomed with open arms anytime she is wanting to come back. She really is a lovely special person who left us all with a warm and lovely feeling. We wish you the best on your journey and look forward to seeing you again one day xx

We can't recommend Bitsy and Dave highly enough. They were respectful, reliable, and totally trustworthy - we left our house in their hands without any qualms at all. We have a vegetable garden, greenhouse and chickens and they took care of these with enthusiastic care, sending us regular updates and evidently enjoying our home. When we returned we found everything in perfect order. It was a pleasure having them look after our home while we were away.

If you are lucky enough to have Ines and Luis care for your fur baby, you will NOT be disappointed!!! We were so thrilled and delighted with the level of care that our sweet kitty received, and we loved getting daily pics and updates. We had the pleasure to meet Ines and Luis before we left for our trip, and we had such a great time talking with them both and learning a little more about their life and their kitty. Ines asked many questions about our house, what we expected, our cat's food schedule and basically offered to do anything that we needed done while we were away. When we returned from our vacation our house was SPOTLESS!!!! They cleaned our kitchen, the bathroom, mopped the floors and put away all the sheets and towels they used. I can't even explain what a delight it was to walk into our home late at night and find it so tidy and in perfect condition. Our cat, Philly truly loved them and I think she was probably sad to see them leave. :) The level of respect and care that Ines and Luis provided to us was beyond our wildest expectations. We genuinely hope we get to see them again and they would be welcome in our home ANYTIME they find themselves in Tavira. We can't thank them enough for all they did to ensure that our vacation was stress free and peaceful!!! These are very special people!!!

Mauricio cared for my house, cats and plants for 2 months during the summer. The cats love him, the garden was in a very good shape and the house was clean when I came back. He stayed at my place for the third time and I would allways love to have him back here again. He gives me the feeling that my place is in good hands and I dont have to worry about it.

We have really debated how to write this review. The positive is that our animals were very well cared for and seemed very happy. We had nice updates which was great. Unfortunately, the house on our return was not. I would expect it to be left as it is found and sadly it really wasn't. My plants had been neglected too, which we were very sad about. I have reread old reviews which are all 5* for clean and tidy so perhaps are standards are high but I felt an honest review was necessary.

Michele is a great pet sitter for my dog Charley!  She keeps me informed and sends pictures.  I came home to an immaculate home!  I hope she will come back again.

Jerry gets a five star in every area! We actually connected on the phone before he ever arrived but once he got here, it was like we known each other forever! He was very thorough and how he was going to take care of the dogs and the house!! very friendly with the dogs, and they immediately connected with him!! dogs know when they are💖💖 he arrived early so he could become familiar with Circus and tinker and the house and we had a meal together and quickly became best friends! He sent pictures while we were away and updates. Every day. He was gone by the time we came back, but it honestly looked like he had never been in the house. Everything was perfect just like we left it.❗️❗️❗️ so if you’re looking for a Pet Sitter that is reliable in every way, and you know for sure is going to take good care of your pets this man is the one you want to have come to your home❗️❗️ you won’t be disappointed and I can promise you that💖🎉

Cleo is a very lucky puppy dog to have been cared for by Matt & Lisa!  We’ve had quite a few sitters over the last 2 years with TH, and I have no reservations saying that they were the best!

First, communication was fabulous from the start.  They put me at ease before they ever got here.  Throughout the sit, there were regular updates and pictures.  

They were so very attentive to Cleo, and even ventured out with her on trail walks (Cleo’s favorite thing in the world).    They handled her medications with no problem.

It was obvious that my nervous pup was at ease and loved them, as she ended up sleeping with them!

I’d have Matt & Lisa again in a heartbeat, and would recommend to anybody!

Lisa was an excellent pet sitter for our dogs Willa and Kato. She was attentive to their needs, administered medications, dealt with Kato’s unexpected ear problem and made sure they both were able to follow their daily routines and get plenty of exercise. It was quite obvious when we returned home that the three had bonded with each other and we know they will enjoy future sits already scheduled with Lisa. She was great about sending photos and updates while we were traveling, and it was a joy to come home to an immaculate house and thriving houseplants!

We highly recommend Lisa as an extremely reliable, caring and self-sufficient pet sitter!

Liz was a fantastic sitter for our boys and took great care of our home.  She was a great communicator and kept us informed of what was happening and how our dogs were doing. She also kept our home clean and tidy. We would be grateful to have Liz sit for us anytime!

Jo & David were absolutely amazing sitters for our house and dog Rosie while we were out of town for 2 1/2 weeks. They are the best! Jo was super communicative and responsive at all times. She and David bonded with our dog, who grew very attached to them. They left our house super clean (and there were even chocolate chip cookies for us on our return)! Most of all, they are just super nice people and very easy to work with. Anyone is lucky to have JoAnna & David housesit for them.

We initially accepted Deirdre and Jason for a long stay to look after our dogs.  We were very happy they accepted.  A few weeks later we realized we needed another sitter for another trip we had planned.  So, we posted more dates on zeewoi.  To our happy surprise,  Deirdre and Jason reached out to us saying they could also look after our dogs and home with the new dates we posted.   This made our life much easier and we were very confident to have Deirdre and Jason stay longer with us and care for our dogs.

We were definitely right!! D&J have countless experiences on zeewoi with very good reviews from all of their previous sits.  They are very experienced with all aspects of a house/pet sitting.  D&J are very self-sufficient, have the background knowledge and education of pet care, and most importantly a genuine love for all animals.  This is most important for my wife and I.  We knew from the first meeting with our pups they loved animals.  

Communication was excellent.  The process before and during our sit was stress-free for us.  We were given daily updates on our dogs including photos and videos.  Any concerns D&J had were vocalized to us.  D&J are also problem solvers and know how to react many challenging situations.  Our routine for our pets was followed immaculately and all dogs were very happy and connected with them.  Even our female dog Kinki grew close so quickly with D&J which is very rare.  We had ZERO issues while we were gone and we were able to really enjoy our trip while we were away.  The dogs definitely love being around D&J.


Homecare:  We are very pleased with the condition of our home when we returned.  It was clean, free of clutter, and exactly how we had left it for them, if not even better!  D&J even mowed our grass and took care of our yard! Our yard is not a small garden.  It is very big and takes hours to mow.  So we were very surprised and excited to know they did that for us even though it's not expected of our sitters!! They definitely went above and beyond what is expected. 

Our dogs are so very important to us.  When we know we can trust our sitters it's the best feeling in the world.  We definitely trust Deirdre and Jason with our most prized possessions and we look forward to the next sit with them in a few days!!! We can't thank them enough for giving our dogs the love and attention they deserve. 

We highly recommend Deirdre and Jason for your future sittings and you can always feel free to contact Izabela and I about D&J for additional verification from us.  They are fantastic!

Thanks so much Deirdre and Jason!

-Allen and Izabela

Jim sat for my extremely shy rescue pup and new kitten for two weeks -- my pup struggles with new people, and is very fearful of men in particular. And yet, Jim was more successful with her than any sitter I've ever had: I can't recommend him highly enough. He has wonderful patience, a calm energy, and is a great communicator. He consistently updated me with photos and videos of my sweet girls enjoying the world with him, taking my dog on hikes and adventures to her favorite streams. He went above and beyond both for her (in meeting her needs and taking the time to get to know her personality), and also in caring for my home. I returned to such a cozy environment, a repaired wood stove, an organized wood pile and an at-peace dog and cat. Choosing Jim as a sitter is ensuring that your pets and home are getting the best of care, and his actions exemplify his kindness, generosity and thought taken in consideration of others. I hope to have him return many times in the future; the experience was a privilege both for myself and my pets.

Cannot say enough good things about Charli and Jeff, a delightful couple who took great care of both dog and house.
Loved their enthusiasm and attention to details. They are full time traveling pet/house sitters and it shows. They are organized, punctual, extremely tidy and completely self-sufficient.
Charli, Jeff, it was a true pleasure to meet you both and you are welcome back any time your future travels bring you to the Charleston area. Warm hugs from myself and Forest.
