I am so thankful I found Marguerite and Roy through this platform. They were exactly what I needed to feel at ease about leaving my slightly anxious pup while away for work. They took the time to stop in for a meet and greet before the sit, and that made all the difference as well. They kept me in the loop daily, with messages and cute little videos. I know Meg Ryan had a great stress-free time with them. My apt was just as I left it, and they went above and beyond to wash the sheets and towels, and made up my bed for me before they left. I can not wait to use them again, and hope we both have future dates that align to make that a reality!

Thank you Barry for taking good care of Joey and Delilah. They both seemed very relaxed on my return. Barry was responsive and organised. He was happy to administer eye drops as Delilah developed an ulcer just before my departure. I imagine Barry could turn his hands to most things and nothing was too much trouble!

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!

We couldn't be more pleased with the care Phil and Jo provided for our cats, Jill and Joy, while we were on vacation. We met them the day before we left, which allowed us to show them around the house and go over everything in detail. We had a great feeling about leaving our pets and home in their hands, and they absolutely lived up to our expectations. While we were away, Phil and Jo sent us pictures of the cats every other day, which reassured us that Jill and Joy were doing well. When we returned, the house was spotless, and our cats were clearly content and well-cared for. To top it off, a delicious lemon cake was waiting for us—a thoughtful touch that made coming home even sweeter. It's clear that Phil and Jo took the time to ensure everything was in perfect order, and we were especially happy to see how comfortable and happy Jill and Joy were. We highly recommend Phil and Jo to anyone looking for trustworthy and caring house and pet sitters. We would not hesitate to have them back again in the future!

We really got lucky when we accepted Lauren after a relatively short video call. We met her after that (and before the sit started) when she made an effort to overnight our area so we could all get to know one another. She communicated extremely well, was warm yet professional, cared deeply and genuinely about our doggie (and about us!), and was a huge help and resource to a family that came to stay in our other home from overseas. It was their first time in S. Africa, and she did so much to welcome them, help them settle in, trouble shoot things in the home-- as well as in their travels. Lauren spent an additional 2 nights-- the first when we did not make it home on time due to flight cancellation, and the next when we finally got home, but it became too late to be on the road. These were ongoing last minute changes (more than one) and Lauren took it all in stride. Lauren also communicated health concerns to us about our dog, took her to the vet when she had a troublesome wound, and made sure she could comfortable get up and down the stairs with her arthritis. On walks, the stiffness is forgotten, and Lauren kept up so well on free range beach runs. She did not hesitate to take our doggie along to the cafe and to social events, and even got her some luxury birthday treats. We have other sits coming up, arranged before we met Lauren, and I can only hope they go so well. If not, I feel reassured that a back-up might be close by. Huge thanks to Lauren

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!

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!

I was fortunate to meet Jenny and Nigel on two occasions. They are delightful people and most importantly Barnaby, my dog, seemed to like them! I was confident leaving the house and dog with them. When I got home the house was immaculate and Barnaby seemed content. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them.

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.

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!

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!

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!

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!!

We were so happy with Lynda's care for our senior pup. 

Lynda was extremely accommodating with the key hand over situation we had considering our early flights out of Berlin. She was easy to coordinate with and made this part of the holiday very smooth.

We could also tell Sesame was in the best care. We received updates and photos of Sesame on walks and getting cuddles. We know Sesame can be sassy sometimes but Lynda was great with her little attitudes and handled her with ease. It was also really heart warming to see that Lynda truly enjoyed her time with Sesame and created a strong bond with her. We love to know that our dog is loved and treated with the care we would give her if we were home. 

Both my partner and I were able to fully enjoy our holiday as we knew from updates that Sesame and Lynda were doing well. Our apartment was clean and tidy when we returned and the sheets had also been washed. We would definitely have Lynda back and would recommend her to anyone else looking for an experienced sitter to stay with your pet.

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.

Alia is awesome and we have used her several times.  She is a 5 star rated sitter every time.  The dogs are happy and the house is perfect when we get home.  She even cooked dinner for our arrival home because we came home late.  Highly recommend Alia!!

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.
