Hannah-Rose
Sumner, New Zealand
Experienced & passionate pet loving couple
Hannah Rose and Simon were great pet sitters, they were very self sufficient and coped with various building projects that were going on during their visit, the cats were relaxed and happy when we got home and a nice clean house, we would absolutely recommend them.
Rose

Hello. I am Rose from New Zealand.
Rose was lovely and took great care of Oscar. She was easy to communicate with and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.
Wynand
Sumner, New Zealand
New Zealander taking a break
Wayne was absolutely brilliant, I had a lot of updates from him over the 10 day sit and it sounds like he had a lot of fun with the cats. I had some lovely pictures and heard about their antics which was great. Wayne was very easy to communicate with and he left the house sparkling clean. I am hoping he comes back next year as I'm pretty sure the cats are missing him now we are home 😂 Ratchet especially seemed to enjoy someone to play feather with her! I would 100% recommend Wayne as a sitter for anyone else.
dolores
Sumner, New Zealand
Responsible, energetic ,young at heart,intrepid traveller available
Dolores was absolutely lovely. She and Gracie bonded immediately and her care of her was exemplary. The house was clean and tidy when I got home. Dolores made her way up to Auckland, navigated the buses and ferries required to get to my place, and arrived on time. I can highly recommend Dolores, especially if you have a small needy dog!
Alison
Sumner, New Zealand
Responsible mature couple with animal and house caring experience :)
Alison was fantastic from start to finish. She communicated well throughout the sit and gave Archie lots of attention and care. He was a very happy little dog and we felt completely secure knowing Alison was looking after him and the house. Hope to have her back for future sits ad she really did make the whole process enjoyable.
Bill
Sumner, New Zealand
Animal lovers currently available anywhere in NZ, Europe & Australia
Bill and Teckla are a lovely couple with a varied range of interests. We had a few days together before we left to show them the ropes and had several conversations about their experiences while travelling. We realised we had made an excellent choice for our sitters. It was clear immediately that they are animal lovers and quickly made friends with Monty, Digby and Rocky. Just what we wanted! Lhasa’s are not the easiest dogs to sit for, however Bill and Teckla clearly understood what was required, particularly with Monty who is a notoriously fussy eater. During our time away we received daily reports about our pets including several pictures. Very reassuring for us. We also had an ongoing conversation about how our holiday was going and how they were enjoying the local French culture including Duras chateau and the soirée gourmand. When we returned the house was spotless, bedding washed and our ‘boys’ were obviously well cared for and loved. A credit to Bill and Teckla and worthy of a five star rating. We enjoyed our time with them both before and after our trip and would welcome them back to Marsou at any time. They a generous and kind couple who our pets adored. Thank you for your enthusiasm in sitting for us. Please keep in touch.
Suzanne
Sumner, New Zealand
Want a break but need someone to look after your treasures (and your home)
Suzanne & Roger are amazing! It was my very first experience with zeewoi and house sitting, and I am very glad that they accepted to come and look after my girl and my house for 4 weeks. They are reliable, very easy to communicate with, extremely organized, super friendly, and the list goes on and on....... I was a little bit anxious about leaving my fur baby and my home with "strangers", but they both made me feel confident from our first call until the end of my journey overseas. My dog was sad when they left, it says a lot..! I'm very thankful to Roger & Suzanne, and I recommend 1000%. Thank you Suzanne and Roger <3
Sheila
Sumner, New Zealand
Capable, Caring couple
I cannot praise Sheila and Matt enough. They looked after my two dogs and house as if they were their own and I returned to very contented dogs and a spotless house. It was my first experience of usiing zeewoi and it certainly will not be my last after this experience. I am just sorry that Sheila and Matt are too far away to house sit more often.
Carol
Sumner, New Zealand
As a matter of introduction, I’d like to introduce you to Carol and Mark Jones.
I can’t rate Carol and Mark highly enough! I was a bit anxious about being a first time zeewoi and leaving our house and fur babies but Carol put my mind at ease… it really was all good! They sent regular updates and photos of how their week was going, it was so lovely to see the dogs so happy. We came home to a beautifully clean and tidy home. The dogs clearly missed Carol and Mark but are settling into having Mum and Dad home again lol! Carol made muffins and left some in the freezer, and even bought milk for our return. We would be delighted for them to sit any time. Liz and Kev
Anne

Caring and responsible retirees ready to care for your home and animals.
Anne and Lindsay did a wonderful job of looking after our home and pets. It makes it so worry free to go away knowing they are going to be here. Thanks again.
Reviews from Dog Owners
Kara
Denise was by far the best pet sitter we have ever had! She watched our two pups while we were gone for 3 weeks and took amazing care of our dogs and home. She took the time to ask questions and make sure she understood each dog’s needs as well as how to take the best care of our house before we left. She sent videos everyday updating us on how the pups were doing. We were so happy to see how much quality time she was spending with them and how much they loved her. Our dogs were so sad to see her leave and we can’t wait to have her back. Denise made sure that the house was in perfect condition when she left and treated our home as if it were her own. If you are looking for a pet sitter, look no further. Highly recommend Denise!
Alaina
Sharon was an excellent sitter who I knew was taking great care of my two dogs while away. She walked them, was a clean guest, and sent regular pictures and updates. I’d recommend her to anyone.
Jacqueline
The best house and dog sitters you could ever ask for! They love and take care of our dogs like we do and do the same with our home. Thank you so much Ken and Jane! You are very much appreciated and loved by us, Jules and Lexi ❤️😇🐶
DAVID
This is our second time with Jamie and she’s really a great sitter for our dogs . She’s a trusted person, smart. You can leave her your house and pets. Can’t wait to have Jaimie back next summer
Linda
Cristina is simply the best house/pet sitter that we have ever had. She is responsible and dependable and an experienced dog owner. Our Wheaten, Bridie, adores her and misses her when she leaves.
Laura
Alexandria was by far our best sitter yet (and we've had excellent zeewoi sitters)! She was responsible, self sufficient and very responsive. She took the time to come meet our dog ahead of time and to run through the routine before our trip. She was communicative and sent great pics of her adventures with Rupee while we were away. She was extremely clean and followed our household routine. And to top it al off, she left us with a homemade vegetable soup for our jet lagged return home from Europe! Alexandria is a wonderful, kind and caring person that I am grateful to have met. I cannot thank you enough Alexandria!
Deborah
This was our first experience with TH and we are very pleased. From the moment Rose arrived we knew she was the right sitter for our “kids”. Communication while we were away was great with pics of the dogs as well as text messages. Rose cared for our home and our “kids” with great care, she is very conscientious of your space. Extremely pleased with the care she provided to our “kids” and our home. We have another trip planned in a couple of weeks and are happy Rose will be staying in our home again. I highly recommend Rose as a sitter!
Susan
Katrina and her family were amazing house sitters who took wonderful care of our dog. Our dog is reluctant to go on walks with new people, but the entire family pitched in and found ways to take her to the park. Her daughter developed a particularly close bond with our dog. Katrina communicated us frequently and we always felt reassured by her messages. We returned from our long trip to a spotless home and a beautiful cake in the fridge. What more could you want!

Jim sat for my extremely shy rescue pup and new kitten for two weeks -- my pup struggles with new people, and is very fearful of men in particular. And yet, Jim was more successful with her than any sitter I've ever had: I can't recommend him highly enough. He has wonderful patience, a calm energy, and is a great communicator. He consistently updated me with photos and videos of my sweet girls enjoying the world with him, taking my dog on hikes and adventures to her favorite streams. He went above and beyond both for her (in meeting her needs and taking the time to get to know her personality), and also in caring for my home. I returned to such a cozy environment, a repaired wood stove, an organized wood pile and an at-peace dog and cat. Choosing Jim as a sitter is ensuring that your pets and home are getting the best of care, and his actions exemplify his kindness, generosity and thought taken in consideration of others. I hope to have him return many times in the future; the experience was a privilege both for myself and my pets.
Kathleen
Lisa was a terrific sitter for our sweet Rosie. She arrived the evening before the sit, and we immediately could tell how much love and attention Rosie was to get. She provided updates and pictures which we were delighted to read, and we could tell Rosie was happy and well-cared for with Lisa on their walks and fetching sessions, on their car rides, and during Rosie’s many daily naps. Lisa left the house in great condition, she’s very tidy and clean. Lisa’s experience with dogs and her friendly, sweet personality makes her an excellent sitter taking good care of animals while also being easy to communicate with. I would recommend her and would gladly invite her back.
