Simons Town, South Africa
Energetic, animal loving, life maximising couple who love to travel and explore
Ruth and James were FANTASTIC--we just couldn't be happier with how they cared for our home and our girls. Our little Lucy, a senior pup with considerable anxiety, actually climbed in their suitcase as they were packing to leave. And our little Sophia, a senior cat who avoids almost everyone, actually spent time in the room with them--very unusual, and an indicator that they were calm and gentle. We got photos and updates every day, which gave us so much comfort and joy while we were away. In addition, our house cleaner and contractor met them and said they were lovely people. :) Thank you, Ruth and James! It'd be our pleasre to see you again.

Energetic couple, now with time on their hands and keen for adventure
It was a pleasure having Tessa and Duncan sit for me and Sam. Their communication and responsiveness before the sit was brilliant, and made me feel very at ease that they would look after Sam and the house well. During the sit they sent me regular updates of Sam looking happy and relaxed and well cared for, and the house was immaculate in my return. Thank you Tessa and Duncan, it was a perfect sit.

I COME FROM A FAMILY THAT LOVES AND HAS HAD ANIMALS OF ALL KINDS OVER GENERATION
Kay took excellent care of our cat and home while we were away for 6 weeks. We came home to a neat and tidy house and happy cat. Kay fed our cat, cleaned the litter box, watered the plants, took out trash/recycling, brought in the mail, and everything else needed to keep the house running. Kay was very communicative and kept us updated on the cat and other things around the house. I highly recommend Kay as a house sitter!

Jane and John were really fantastic, not only did they give our boys a great time, they had the job of taking care of Sam after a small operation on his foot, he was well cared for. They left the place clean and tidy and cooked us a lovely meal on our return. Please come back soon.........

Animal loving, conscientious sitter available for Long/Short term sits.
From the moment she arrived, Ingrid was clearly focused on caring for my pet and home. Our communication over the time I was gone was easy and Ingrid kept me updated on things at home. She even stayed an extra night when I had a problem with my flight. I'd definitely recommend her to anyone needing a self-sufficient, responsible, and caring pet/house sitter!

This was our 1st time leaving our puppy and cat together with a house sitter. We needn't have worried at all. From the beginning Nicole was so easy to communicate with. She looked after the pets fantastically - sending picture updates throughout our time away. The pets seemed to have a great time and our home was spotless on our return. Nicole was fab - thank you again!

Looking forward to meeting my new fluffy friend
Priyal was extremely well prepared and debriefed in detail all that was required for the week long sit well before hand. She gave our children an inordinate amount of love and care, sending cute cuddle videos and photos on a regular basis and ensured that their every whim was fulfilled (lucky Pushkin & Rossi!) I would not hesitate to use her again, my children absolutely adored her. Thank you Priyal!

Ann & Andy were simply fantastic. Our cats were clearly not only well cared for but genuinely very happy and content in their company. They were excellent in all respects and we are so very grateful to them!
Kylie was a great sitter for my dogs. She kept in contact and sent pictures and took them on many walks which they love. She has her own sweet little dog that keeps to herself and was just fine with my 2. I would recommend Kylie to anyone looking for a housesitter
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!!
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.
Cindy was great, couldn’t have asked for a better sitter experience! Communication was great both before and during the sit. Cindy was really helpful and flexible with arrival and departure arrangements. I came back to a happy dog and a well cared for house, can thoroughly recommend 🙂
Great sitter and kept in contact regularly. Would gladly have her sit for my dog again.
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
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!
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.
Charlie was again an outstanding sitter for us whilst we were away at a wedding. This is the second time having Charlie and although we have not met face to face we completely trust her with our home and of course our cat, Nala. Charlie left the house spotless which is amazing to come home to after a long day of travelling. She is reliable, good at communicating and trustworthy and we would not hesitate to recommend her enough. Thanks again Charlie, we hope you come back again and there might even be a dog next time😁
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.
