St Ives, United Kingdom
We are a British couple on a gap decade, full time pet sitting around the world
We really appreciated that Tammy and Mark arrived a day early which gave us all plenty of time to get to know one another and most importantly gave our cat time to adjust and for them to learn his habits and demands! They were very considerate whilst we were still at home and gave us time to ourselves to get ready for our holiday. Whilst we were away they sent us updates and fantastic photos of our cat so we could see he was happy and well cared for. Having just moved house this was a reassurance for us. Tammy and Mark were our first sitters and we cannot praise them highly enough. They were very accommodating especially as we had only moved in the week before. Most importantly our cat loved them and was totally relaxed with them. We have no hesitation in recommending Tammy and Mark and would welcome them back to look after our cat in the future knowing that our pet and our home would be well looked after. As a bonus they cooked us a fantastic welcome home meal which we thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated after a long flight delay and were kind to get milk and bread in for us. Thank you again Tammy and Mark for your care of our cat and your good company.

Kind, caring and responsible family who love travelling and animals.
Sally and her family were amazing! From the very beginning she was very communicative and easy to get in contact with. She sent pictures while sitting and took great care of our dogs. When we came home, the house was clean and the dogs were happy which gave us such peace of mind. I’d highly recommend Sally and her family for future sits. They are responsible, friendly, and punctual. Would happily host them again anytime.

Professional couple will care for your home and pets with respect and integrity.
Just the loveliest people who looked after our hens and dogs really really well. Something did go wrong during their sit which was not their fault, and they reacted effectively and sorted it out quickly. We felt very confident leaving the house and animals with Jan and Simon. We hope they will sit again for us

Travelling couple (holistic coach & winemaker) seeking housesits globally!
Danielle and Christian stayed in our house with our elderly cat for 5 days. We met them before going on our holiday and immediately warmed to them. They clearly were self-sufficient although not having a car (they came to Scotland by air, from Cornwall) and made good friends with the now-retiring cat right away (not so easy as one might assume!). They managed in the house perfectly, and our WhatsApp communications left us entirely at ease. The house was clean and all fine when we got back and Cookie was clearly content too. D and C are busy people but if they do apply to an invitation of yours, we have no hesitation in recommending that you take them on! J&H

Fit, active, caring, pragmatic, and fun but with a strong sense of responsibilit
Simon and Grace were our first ever zeewoi and we were probably their last before their new house was completed and they could move in. As soon as they arrived we knew the house and Teddy would be well looked after. They clearly loved both and knowing that they were going to enjoy their sit and Teddy was going to enjoy it meant that we could go away and thoroughly enjoy ourselves too. While we were away we exchanged WhatsApps of what we were each doing including Teddy having days out at the seaside. It was like having friends stay really. Teddy was clearly well looked and had a waggy tail when we got home but the house…… absolutely gleaming! Well beyond the call of duty and well appreciated. This was zeewoi working to perfection. It suited their situation and ours perfectly and we couldn’t have wished for a better first sit. I’m sure all the lucky homeowners and pets who were looked after by Simon and Grace while they were waiting for their new house to be ready wish them a very happy time in their own new home.

Reliable and experienced sitters!
Naomi was great- wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. Our dog was immediately comfortable with her and her little boy, she kept in touch and left our home near and tidy. Thank you!

Trusted and reliable to leave your pets and home in safe hands
Geraldine and Tony were amazing, I kept in touch with them before they come to dog sit. Our whole lives had changed in April when my partner had died suddenly. But this holiday was a family one when we celebrated my parents 60th wedding anniversary.. so it was important that I went. Geraldine and Tony did an amazing job with my two dogs ..my two dogs missed them when they left., enough said💕
Erica watched my senior dog and cat for 12 days while I was traveling internationally. She was organized, responsive, and took excellent care of both my animals and my apartment while I was away. She sent me photos during the stay and my pets absolutely adored her. She has watched my pets before and I always trust her to take excellent care of them. Traveling internationally and leaving my pets in the care of a sitter always makes me a little nervous, since I won't always be immediately reachable. However, Erica's communication and obvious competency made me feel very comfortable about leaving my pets in her care while I was away. It's very obvious she adores spending time with the pets and caring for them. I came home to a clean apartment and very happy and healthy pets. I would highly recommend Erica for any of your sits!
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!
Joe and Casey were very easy going and reliable. We organised the sit way in advance with a video chat and we had adequate communication leading up to the sit. We handed over the house and animals after a fairly swift explanation of everything. Being experienced sitters Joe and Casey didn't need us to over explain anything (hopefully they felt the same) and we could see very quickly that they were animal lovers. They asked us how much communication we needed whilst away and we said "no news is good news". So we received just the right amount of updates along with the most adorable photos and reassuring words about all the animals. It was clear that they quickly understood the character of each of the animals. We forgot to mention that Tipper likes to dig dirt beds around the garden which creates quite a mess and it was obvious that these were kept under control. The garden and pool were well cared for. We enjoyed a relaxing couple of weeks away knowing that the animals were being loved and the dogs definitely looked for Joe and Casey when we arrived home. Our pets, home and garden were well respected and cared for and we would not hesitate to invite Joe and Casey to sit for us again.
This is our second time welcoming Michele and we were so happy to have her back! Our dogs Pedro and Samantha love her and it is clear she loves them! Our house was immaculate upon our return and Michele made her famous lemon chicken recipe which we gobbled up and then we asked for the recipe. We can't say enough great things about her and hope you are lucky enough to get her as a sitter for your pets.
Lori is the best of the best! I would recommend her 100 times over! Lori is great at communicating and our dogs were extremely happy. She was very attuned to our dog’s anxiety and did a great job making the dogs feel safe and loved. The house was spotless when we returned. Lori also had the job of taking care of my numerous plants. I have to say the plants look better when I got home than they did before I left😂 Lori has a green thumb. Lori is so kind and just a wonderful person. Rest assured if you choose her as your sitter your dog and home are in the best hands. Thank you again, Lori! Blessings!
Wendy sat for us on three occasions this Summer and I can’t say enough good things about her. The dogs were well taken care of and she was, organized, tidy, and responsible. It’s great to find a house/pet sitter that you can rest easy knowing everything is taken care of. We are hoping she will want to spend more time in the PNW!
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
Duha was such a light to have in our home while we were away. She kept us updated with beautiful photos of our dogs throughout her stay and didn’t leave their side once. I’ve never felt so comfortable with any other sitter and I truly hope this won’t be the last time she sits for us.
Lynn and Ray were fabulous sitters, going above and beyond to take care of our home, yard, and rambunctious pup. Leaving him for three weeks was very difficult but we felt confident once we met them. They are great communicators, very professional, capable of handling any situation, and personable. Since they are fully self-contained in their van, they arrived a day early so we could show them the place, have our dog Bailey get comfortable with them (that was immediate ☺), and get to know them over dinner together. While on our trip, they sent us daily photos of Bailey, which we really appreciated, and updates on their activities. They took him hiking almost every day and kept him well exercised. Any issues that came up (e.g., our irrigation water ran dry a couple weeks in) they communicated to us and we were able to resolve them quickly. They also harvested ripe berries and squash for us and even harvested and dried tomatoes in our dryer. We spent our entire trip feeling assured that all things were being taken care of and feel ever so grateful that we found Lynn and Ray through TH. We returned from our trip to a house that was thoroughly cleaned (better than we left it ☺), with fresh sheets on the bed, and a happy dog. Five-star sitters for sure!
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.
