Absolutely adored Melquea! Her energy and dependability are out of this world. Her and James took such good care of Oatly and our apt. It made us feel reassured that Oatly was in good hands and well loved. Thanks for everything, I hope we can meet next time and do another housesit!

Jared was extremely thorough and kind. He covered all topics when we first met on the phone, sent updates throughout the sit and was very open to things schedule-wise, especially when my plans got changed/delayed. He left the house cleaner than I left it and left my dog with a great sendoff, caring for her right to the end. No complaints whatsoever; I'd highly recommend him.

This was the second time we used John as an extended house/pet sitter, as he is a mature, responsible pet lover who takes his responsibility seriously. Once again John did a wonderful job, communicating regularly with us while sharing pictures of our cats. We'd recommend John very highly to anyone considering him for a house/pet sit.

Alaina was a great sitter and she got on with Patsy my dog straight away. Everything went smoothly and she was always available when I messaged. On my return, later than I expected due s flight delay, she managed to keep some unexpected visitors happy and cooked me a nice meal to welcome me home. I would be happy to recommend her 100%.

I highly recommend Sharon & can’t think of anyone I’d rather have stay with my pets. She is wonderful & did everything in her power to make sure we had an enjoyable trip before she even arrived. We came home to a clean house & very content dog. From first greet at the door, it was like Cleo had known Sharon for years. He can be a little bit standoffish sometimes, so that says a lot about her. He was treated like a king. Sharon was focused on Cleo & took the time to do all the activities he loves to do everyday (a long list) & provided lots of updates. Cleo is obviously disappointed. Sharon has left. Hoping she will come for another visit soon!

Heather and Monica were great dog sitters! They were easy to communicate with and sent us pictures of our dogs daily. We felt very comfortable leaving our 2 dogs and our home in their care. We hope they will sit for us again!

There is no better house and dog sitter than Aube. Bar none, she is the best the planet has to offer. She took superb care of our dog, following our instructions carefully yet so lovingly. Cleo got a wonderful long walk every day. Aube also took care of plants, mail, and left our home in perfect condition. She is new to Zeewoi, but she is a natural at this kind of work, and I sincerely miss her daily communique and photographs of our pup. A wonderful woman and a great caregiver.

Chelsey flew to Oregon to care for Lucy for four days and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She came a day early like we requested and we so enjoyed getting to know Chelsey. She is a delight…funny, caring and very warm. Lucy immediately fell in love with her and even slept with her the first night when we were still home. Chelsey took Lucy on many adventures…to the mountains, the coast and even paddle boarding on a local lake which she loves! Chelsey kept us updated with photos and texts. When we got home every thing was tidy and in order and Chelsey left us a lovely note. We highly recommend Chelsey for your next sit. In fact we are hoping she returns to be with Lucy again!

Kerin provided exceptional care for our dogs while we were away. From the start, she was thorough and attentive, asking detailed questions to ensure she understood our dogs' needs. As first-time users of Zeewoi, Kerin patiently guided us through the process, easing any concerns we had. Her dedication was evident when she visited the day before our trip to meet our dogs and familiarize herself with our home. She handled our strong-willed Pyrenees, Wally, with ease, showing great patience and understanding of his quirks. Throughout our time away, Kerin maintained open communication, keeping us informed of any developments or concerns. Not only did she care for our dogs, but she also went above and beyond by cleaning our house, even folding a load of laundry left in the dryer! And all of my plants are thriving! Thanks to Kerin, we felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were in capable hands. Upon our return, it was clear they had been well-loved and cared for. We are incredibly grateful for Kerin's exceptional service and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dogsitter.

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💖🎉

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.

Angela Gandolfo and Erica Piazza came to stay at our house while we were away on vacation for two weeks. Our two dogs are a handful, but these two lovely women took such good care of them. They spoiled them even more than we do, which is perfect. We got photos every day, and when we came home our house was tidy and there were clean sheets on the bed. I couldn't have asked for better house and pet sitters than these two women. They communicated well with us, and if they had questions, they asked. It was a pleasure to work with both Angela and Erica. 
We had to cut our vacation short because of a death in the family. It was really stressful, but once again, Angela and Erica were flexible and understanding. It made a difficult time easier, knowing that things at home were being managed so well. 
I'm hoping that if we ever have to go away again for such a long time, I will be able to get these two back here again! (hint hint) 
Thank you, Angela and Erica!

Robyn was a great pet sitter and house sitter.  She  went way over and beyond my expectations!!!! She sent a photo of her and my dogs and they were looking at her like they were in love.  And my cats are not very friendly, but she won them over also.  I would highly recommend Robyn as a pet sitter and house sitter.  She is a very sweet lady.  I would love to have her watch my babies again and again.

Alexandria was by far our best sitter yet (and we've had excellent zeewoi sitters)!  She was responsible,  self sufficient and very responsive.  She took the time to come meet our dog  ahead of time and to run through the routine before our trip.  She was communicative and sent great pics of her adventures with Rupee while we were away.  She was extremely clean and followed our household routine.  And to top it al off, she left us with a homemade vegetable soup for our jet lagged return home from Europe!  Alexandria is a wonderful, kind and caring person that I am grateful to have met.  I cannot thank you enough Alexandria!

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

Hamsa was very quick to respond in all communication.  She was prompt on her arrival and listened carefully to our detailed instructions about the house and dogs.  While we were away the amount of communication between us was just right.  When we arrived home the dogs were happy and the house was in order.  A good sign that a dog sitter paid lots of attention to the pups is when we see a bit of depression set in after a dog sitter departs - this did occur after Hamsa left our home  She is a very caring and nurturing individual.

Piper was a wonderful sitter and I would definitely have her come again.  My dog .Winston loved her and was very happy while I was gone.  When I returned home everything was orderly and clean, she changed her bed and washed all the towels.  I totallly recommend Piper to sit at your home.

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.

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!
