Resourceful married couple who love animals & have extensive sitting experience
We were so happy to have Hollie and Tom look after our sweet kitty Coco and our home, so we could enjoy a few days away with friends. Since they live full-time in rural Costa Rica like us, they were very self-reliant and knowledgeable about some of the challenges of our area, such as power and water outages. We appreciated the updates and photos of Coco that they sent. We came home to a sparkling clean house and a happy cat, and would definitely recommend them to anyone.

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

Paws-itively Trustworthy Pet Care for Peace of Mind <3
Caitlin and Jeffery took great care of our home and pets in Costa Rica. They communicated very well before and during the sit and showed up right on time. A few little maintenance issues popped up while they were staying but they handled everything really well, even buying us a new padlock that had rusted shut for outside. Very nice people that we would definitely welcome back.

Purrfect Care for Your Pets!
We had the pleasure of having Marie take care of our dog, and she did an exceptional job, even when our dog had some unexpected health issues. Marie handled everything with care and attention, keeping us updated throughout. She also left our home in immaculate condition—super clean and tidy! Communication with Marie was smooth and reliable from start to finish. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!

This is the 4th sit we've had with Estefany and per usual she is amazing! Our dog gets so excited to see her.

Love is the common thread that links us ,Pets helps us to fully understand love.
It was a pleasure to welcome Lorraine to Scotland to sit for my cats, Kevyn and Dorothy. Communication was swift and clear from the very first point of contact and throughout the sit, with Lorraine sending me regular photos of the cats. On my return the flat was spotlessly clean and tidy, the litter tray having been obviously recently cleared and the cats looked happy and well-cared for. I'm more than happy to recommend Lorraine as a house and/or pet sitter - she is a thoughtful, careful and conscientious individual who'd be welcome back to care for my cats any time.

We are an animal loving couple in our very early forties from Costa Rica!
Nella and Andres were great sitters. Lily required some extra care during their trip after a medical treatment she received prior to their arrival and they cared for her wonderfully! They sent regular updates and pictures and administered Lily's medications as needed. We returned to a clean home and a happy kitty. We couldn't have asked for nicer sitters and would happily have them sit for us in the future. Thanks Nella and Andres!

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.
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!
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.
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!
We loved Misty!!!! She was absolutely the most perfect baby sitter for our dog and an amazing short term tenant at our house. Not only did she keep the house clean but she even washed everything she used before we got home. We even got a couple gifts from her. She is such a sweet human, kept in contact with us while we were gone and sent videos of the hikes and walks they went on. I would 100% ask her to stay at our house again
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
Lisa and Matt were absolutely fantastic sitters for us and our dog, Moose. Not only were they flexible when our flight was changed last minute, they also were able to stay an extra day to accommodate the changes. They communicated with us promptly during the scheduling and planning process for the housesit. They arrived on time on the (re)scheduled day. They acclimated to our dog very quickly and gave us piece of mind as we left by taking him on a walk to avoid his separation anxiety. We chatted every day and exchanged photos of Moose playing at the beach and in the yard. He was so happy! No problems were encountered with the house. Even our neighbors commented on how friendly and kind Lisa and Matt both were and how they really cared for Moose. The house was spotless when we returned. Everything in proper order, better than we left it. We can't thank them enough for the excellent experience!
Brian is awesome - he is simply the best pet sitter and house sitter that we have EVER had and we've had a bunch. He is experienced, thoughtful, respectful, loving, appreciative, helpful, enthusiastic...the list just goes on. Started with our initial call - it was our first sit with zeewoi and he immediately instilled confidence in us in how he talked about his experience and how he saw his role. In the pre-planning, he had great questions for us and helped us to get organized. He was thorough through the instructions, came in a day early to make sure he understood everything about our house and our dog and then followed through on everything. He even drove us to the airport and picked us up on the return. Along the way we were gone, he sent us pictures and kept us updated - always making us feel good about being away and knowing Jorge and the house were in great hands. We had workers coming to fix a fence while gone and some other activity at the house - he was helpful, available, and willing to do whatever was needed to be done. He was self-sufficient and when it came time to leave, he had everything organized and cleaned at the house - he left it in better condition than he received it. We would love to have Brian sit whenever we are away (and in fact will invite him and hope he says yes!) - any one would be lucky to have Brian as their house and pet sitter.
We were so happy with Lynda's care for our senior pup. Lynda was extremely accommodating with the key hand over situation we had considering our early flights out of Berlin. She was easy to coordinate with and made this part of the holiday very smooth. We could also tell Sesame was in the best care. We received updates and photos of Sesame on walks and getting cuddles. We know Sesame can be sassy sometimes but Lynda was great with her little attitudes and handled her with ease. It was also really heart warming to see that Lynda truly enjoyed her time with Sesame and created a strong bond with her. We love to know that our dog is loved and treated with the care we would give her if we were home. Both my partner and I were able to fully enjoy our holiday as we knew from updates that Sesame and Lynda were doing well. Our apartment was clean and tidy when we returned and the sheets had also been washed. We would definitely have Lynda back and would recommend her to anyone else looking for an experienced sitter to stay with your pet.
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.
Alia is truly the most wonderful, loving and kind dog sitter I have used. My husky LOVES her. Not to mention whenever I travel and return home, my apartment is neat and orderly. She even baked a treat for me on my return! I highly recommend Alia. She has sat for me several times and I can't wait to use her again. Thanks Alia! Me and Grey love having you:)
