We couldn’t recommend Roz and Rex more! They left the place sparkling clean and washed all beddings they’ve used and have bought new toys for both our puppy and kitten. Our kitten seemed to be trained to have better manner as well. He normally shout when we putting down food, but now he just wait for his food quietly😂I don’t know how they managed to do that but we are hugely impressed!

Linda is lovely. She was here for a short stay while we visited friends for the weekend. Contact before the visit was good. She sent pictures and an update while we were gone and I returned to an immaculately clean home and three very happy cats. I would happily recommend Linda as a sitter. The cats loved her and so did we.

Courtney and her husband stayed over with our two cats in Ottawa for about a week, and the cats had a great time with them! They provided care and entertainment for the cats, and cleaned everything thoroughly. They are a dependable couple and I highly recommend them. The only hiccups was that the plants were not watered enough, which is partly on me because I told them to "underwater" in case they were not sure how much water to provide. Will make sure to provide better instructions to future housesitters.

What to say other than wow? Nina left the house in perfect condition, and kept us up to date with regular photos and so on. Our cat has this thing where if he's tense he holds his fur a certain way, and if he's relaxed he looks very different. We can tell from the pictures he was relaxed and happy the whole time! Not only that, but Nina taught our cat some tricks, which is pretty amazing. Thank you. :)

Leigh Anne looked after my dog Coco for a week while I was away on holiday. She communicated well before the sit, left the house spotless and even left dinner for my son and I when we got back late from our trip. Coco had a great time and Leigh Anne kept us up to date with regular messages and photos. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Leigh Anne for a sit and would definitely have her back again! Thank you!

Thank you so much to Lynda and Jonny for their second sit for us. I’m sure the dogs are missing them already. Everything at home has been looked after like their own, and left clean and tidy ready for us to walk straight back in. We would highly recommend them to sit for you if you get the chance. We’ll keep in touch and hope to meet again maybe in Australia.

Lydia and Andrew were so fantastic. They were very communicative and Loki had such amazing care while we were gone we were able to fully relax on our holiday. The flat was tidier than we left it, and they had taken such care of our place and può that we would have them back any time. Loki spent days looking for them and sulking when they’d gone as he missed them so much! They sent pictures and updates and were great in terms of organising key drops, handovers etc. we had specific requests for Loki that they didn’t hesitate to carry out and Lydia even came over a week before to meet me in person. Thanks so much guys, it makes such a difference to have 5* sitters!

Lauren and Ben were perfect looking after our two dogs. We came back to two very happy dogs and a lovely clean house. Can’t recommend higher. They gave us updates about how the dogs were going which allowed us to enjoy our break without a worry. Would definitely use Lauren and Ben again.

Minet and James overlapped with me for a day before I headed overseas. They were quiet and respectful and got on well with my old cat. James had found a local teaching job and Minet was doing some work from home and locally while they stayed at my home. They liked the area and are hoping to move here so it gave them the chance to get to know the town. My house, garden and pool were were looked after and my cat looked very happy with them, they were able to give him his daily tablet and he had lots of cuddles. I would be happy to have them back any time, they are a charming couple.

Maryna was an excellent pet sitter and houseguest! Communicating with her was easy, and she always responded to my messages quickly. She was also incredibly self-sufficient! Moreover, Maryna graciously agreed to check on my neighbor's cat for a couple of days as well. My dog bonded with her quickly and was happy and healthy when I returned. The house was also spotless. I would happily have Maryna sit for me again!

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!

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!

Care and compassion for my dogs was at the top of the list of John's attributes. He was the first sitter I have used through zeewoi that was close enough to come meet the dogs before the sit. John not only came for an initial meet and greet, but he made time to meet the pups a second time prior to my departure to better familiarize himself with both the dogs and my home. Having put the fear of God in him about Penny's reactivity (I might have been a bit over the top, but better more attentive than less!), he was cautious with her in the beginning. Later in the sit, they trooped off to the beach on multiple occasions - all good! My 10-yr-old was on some meds for a serious battle with arthritis, and John managed Cooper's needs beautifully. John even made a call and a trip to the vet to re-up Coop's prescription when it was clear he needed to continue the protocol. I received daily updates by  text, including photos and video; communication is hugely important to me. I feel blessed to have had John care for my fur-babies.

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.

Robert and Biljana are absolutely the best sitters you could ever get. We have used them several times already. They have always arrived at the stated date and time. They are eager to receive any and all instructions and will follow them as stated. They keep us informed almost every day on our dogs and send pictures regularly. They always go above and beyond their duties. Robert has fixed a few things around the house without being asked. They buy things for our dogs and have even trained our dogs on certain issues. They made a concerted effort to get to know the neighbors and talked up our dogs to all of them. They will be discreet with any and all information given. We really appreciated all their hard work and effort. They have certainly elevated the bar for the next sitters. Biljana took very good care of our plants and spoiled our dogs to excess. They now expect the same from us!!  We will welcome them back anytime. Hiring them is a decision that will not be regretted.

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!!

Joanna and David were absolutely perfect!!!! This was my first actual time using a sitter and they went above and beyond what I expected.  I have a 1 year old Bully Breed that I adopted 6 weeks ago, so if you know dogs you know what they had to deal with :)) They sent pics daily and kept me updated.  We were not able to meet before I left but they were nice enough to stay to meet me when I returned.  My house was cleaner than when I left, all bedding and towels washed.  Charley, my dog, was happy to see me for a minute when I got home but immediately went back to play with David, so I am thinking she had a blast while I was gone.  I am totally sold with this process after having Joanna and David here.  If you have the chance to book them for your trip, you will not be sorry.  I am hoping to use them again when they return to Florida.

First things first, Linda is awesome! If she applies for one of your sits, you have to accept! 

This was our first time using zeewoi and is also the first time we have left our dog since we got him. Obviously, we were nervous at the beginning, but Linda removed all aspects of that. She is honestly one of the nicest, kindest, most polite people you will meet. From our first initial meeting, we knew that she was the sitter for us, and for Archie. 

The day that we left, Archie let out a little cry as we said goodbye. This was the first time he had done this (it broke our heart), but we knew he was in great hands! 

Throughout the week, Linda was extremely communicative. She would send us daily updates, share videos of their walks together, and send pictures of the two of them having fun. She spoiled Archie with love, attention, and a couple of new toys! When we returned, the house was in the exact same condition as we had left it, and was very clean and tidy.  

When Linda left, Archie ran to the door, started to cry, and sat/laid there for some time - And we think that this alone is a great reflection of the kind of person that Linda is. 

Linda – It was an absolute pleasure to host you in our home, thank you for everything that you did for us and Archie, and for making our first experience a positive and memorable one. Archie misses you! We hope you get the chance to do it again for us in the future.

Veronica House sat for us for a month.  She cared for our two Dobermans and our cat.

Veronica is so enthusiastic about animals.  They immediately pick up on her joy and love for them.

When some bold alligators made our dogs’ normal exercise routine unsafe,  she was faced with the challenging situation of keeping two Dobermans with very different temperaments exercised and entertained in the height of Florida summer with its bugs, heat, and humidity.  She met this challenge by taking the dogs for individual outings. She drove our young social dog to the dog park, finding the times when he would most likely have other large playmates and drove our socially anxious dog to the quiet areas of town for walks.  This took a lot more time than our normal routine, but it kept our dogs safe and happy.

A lasting benefit for us is that our younger dog, once a terror in the car, now rides much more calmly and our anxious dog, once fearful of what the car ride would bring, now happily hops in.
 
Our cat was so content and well-groomed​ upon my return, it was obvious that she had been getting lots of daily attention,  too.

Veronica communicated with us on all the happenings with our pets and property every day.

I came home to happy and healthy pets and a well cared for home.

We feel so fortunate to have had Veronica as a house sitter and look forward to her sitting for us again.
