Critter & Castle Care
This was out first time using Zeewoi and we are absolutely thrilled with our choice of Jeff and Susan. The arrived early so we could go through the workings of our house and pet needs before we left, and we left feeling very assured that the house and pets were in good caring hands. Jeff and Susan kept in contact with us and sent updates and pictures of the animals every couple of days. They were very accommodating when trades people turned up expectantly. Jeff and Susan left the house in a spotless condition, stripped the bed and washed the sheets and towels and even cooked us dinner and left a bottle of lovely red wine. We feel blessed to have had such wonderful people stay in our house and would not hesitate in highly recommending them for any house sit. All the best in your travels Jeff and Susan, and we look forward to catching up one day on your home turf :-)

Experienced sitter for assignments in North America and Europe
It was a pleasure to have Kimberly look after Hunter! She kept me informed of things on the home front, provided clear communications about her travel to/from Vernon so I could plan accordingly, and left my place clean and tidy for my return! Anyone who has the opportunity to work with Kimberly should accept it! Thanks, Kim!

Honest, reliable, trustworthy. Knowledgeable about home and pet care.
We had another great experience with Lorraine watching our dog, Oreo. We didn’t have to worry about anything at home while we were away. When we returned Oreo and our house were all very well taken care of!

Caring, Clean & Appreciative
Darlene was fantastic! She did two back to back sits for me when I had about 3 weeks of travel (with less than 2 hours at home just to do laundry and leave again) — she was flexible by being okay with me coming home for that little window which was so nice so I didn’t have to get a new sitter and my cat had someone consistent. I got to know Darlene better in that small window and she was great! Again— tidy home, organized, responsible, and most importantly snuggled with my cat and kept her cared for. I loved getting photos of them snuggled on couch! Highly recommend and would gladly welcome her back!

Senior dog adopter and foster animal extraordinaire! Passion to help all animals
Devon was the best pet sitter! Communication leading up to the visit as well as throughout was timely, easy, and efficient. He took excellent care of my over excited lab and kept me updated with fun pictures. He left my home clean and took extra cleaning measures when needed. I would have him sit again and highly recommend him.

a reliable, whole-hearted, trustworthy sitter with a shared love for animals.
Lauren was a real gem. We set up a time to meet in person before confirming the sit and we got a sense that she was very warm and open and really liked animals. Lauren was unable to stay at our home for 2 nights due to a forgotten prior commitment but she let us know before the sit and immediately suggested that her parents could help for those 2 days (her mom has a petting sitting biz and we felt confident after speaking that they would do an excellent job) Lauren was apologetic and was understanding if we chose to pick another housesitter. We went ahead with Lauren and her folks and couldn't be happier! The cats were well taken care of and happy and the house was clean, tidy and vacuumed when we came home. Lauren messaged daily with pictures as we requested and we would gladly recommend her as a reliable and kind person to watch your home and pets. We have already had her back to watch the cats since and plan to ask her again!

Bethka & Steven were a pleasure to have stay and sit with my babies. They were very compassionate and patient with my new puppy Lola and Bella and displayed great care for my home. I would absolutely invite them back to stay and visit anytime!

Flexibility is my middle name!
Tammy is wonderful. She went absolutely above and beyond! My kids were well taken care of, as was my home! I came home to a mowed lawn, clean linens, and a freshly baked loaf of chocolate zucchini bread! Thanks again, Tammy!
Michele is a great pet sitter for my dog Charley! She keeps me informed and sends pictures. I came home to an immaculate home! I hope she will come back again.
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!
Stephanie was fantastic! Very organized and left our house sparkling clean. She also sent daily pictures/messages which we loved receiving. She took great care of our dog and our house. One of the best sitters we’ve had!
Joanna and David were wonderful sitters for our dog Broderick and our apartment. Before starting to sit for us they took time to come and meet Broderick which we were very appreciative of. During their time sitting for Broderick we got great updates every day and wonderful photos of our pup, and they were very responsive whenever needed. When we got back home we found a happy puppy, healthy plants, and a spotlessly clean apartment - they had even taken the time to wash sheets and towels and left us a kind thank you note. We would have them sit for us again in a heartbeat!
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!
Joe arrived some days before I left, so I could show him some nice places in Switzerland and he had enough of time to learn all about the dogs and how to handle them. He is an amazing nice and an animal/natur loving person who took care of my dog with incredible affection when I was in vacation. I could really enjoy it, because I knew, everything is ok at home. He sent me picutres and I could see, how much fun they have together. He cooked for the dogs, mad a lot of nice hikes with them and huged them, when they need it - so he even got the trust from Artu (as a man really not easy). And not only that, he made woodruff punch for me and sowed my tomatoes and spoiled them with melt water. And he helped also the women which looked after the horses and helped her to going walk with them. Generelly he is super friendly, so everyone in the village likes him. He is considerate of your belongings and has handed the house back neatly. He is just the best. I'm so gratuful he was here. So, if you have a chance to get him as a sitter, take it. Your animals will be grateful to you and have a good time while you are on vacation. Joe, you're not just a dog sitter for me. You were so familiar to me from the first moment. We had a lot of fun and we already miss you sooooo much. I'm really looking forward to see you again in some monthes.
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.
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!!
To this list of attributes I would add flexible, capable, sensitive, extremely good with the dogs even if one of mine is sometimes a little ornery, and just a wonderful person all around. Because of constantly changing circumstances due to a move and coronavirus, my dogs ended up spending not two weeks but a whole month with John and they were so comfortable and happy. John helped them in so many ways and coordinated shipping them overseas, he went above and beyond the wildest stretches of what a house sitter entails and did it with a smile and a laugh and reassurances that all would be well. And indeed he was absolutely right - the dogs arrived so well cared for that all my fears of them being traumatized went out the window. John’s flexibility, and his kindness as well as his impeccable maintenance of my house in my absence all make me recommend him an absolute 10 out of 10. Thank you John for all your help this summer!!

Lori and Joe took great care of our two dogs and tow cats while we were gone. Our plans changed and we actually asked if they could come a day before we had originally planned to leave and they said no problem! They even stayed over on the night we got home so that we could meet them which was very nice! Lori was very good with communication before the house sit and also during the time they were here. She let us they had arrived safely and then sent us a short text or pictures every day of the animals. The house looked cleaner than when we left it when we got home! Lori and Joe were great house sitters and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them!
