I had an excellent experience with Lorey as my pet-and housesitter. From the start, Lorey was incredibly communicative and friendly, which put me at ease knowing my pets and home were in capable hands. Throughout the long sit, she was consistently approachable, making it easy to stay in touch and feel confident that everything was fine at home. I couldn't be more satisfied. One of the most remarkable aspects was Lorey's connection with my cats. It was clear from the beginning that she has a genuine love for animals, and my cats took to her. They were calm and content when I returned, which speaks volumes about the care and attention they received. Thank you Lorey! Krauli and Lili love you. Overall, Lorey was not only trustworthy but also went above and beyond to make sure my home and pets were well cared for. I can only recommend Lorey to anyone in need of a thoughtful and responsible housesitter.

As this was our first experience using Zeewoi, I honestly can't imagine it having gone any better. Sarah and Orlando were great at keeping us informed of anything that they felt we'd probably like to be aware of. With one "old soul" who needed alot of TLC and a "teenage puppy", who wants to be the center of attention, they had their hands full and handled the whole thing like it was no big deal. They followed our instructions completely - eye wiping and drops every day, daily walks with Gus and even the weekly bath for Brinkley. We have never left our pets anywhere and come home to them looking better and happier than our experience with Sarah and Orlando. The house was perfectly clean. It was obvious that the dogs had been loved and well cared for. And let's be honest.....a month is a long time to be in someone else's home. We wouldn't hesitate to invite them back anytime they want to come.

We were very fortunate to find fantastic housesitters in Nicole and Gabriel. Poli was very happy with his new humans which we were able to see in the photos shared throughout the sit. Medication and nebuliser treatments were easily handled and we returned to a happy cat and a clean appartment. Nicole and Gabriel would be most welcome in our home anytime and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for sitters. Thanks to you both.

Anna and Tom are a delightful couple who brought all their warmth with them when taking care of Bruno (dog) and Loulou (cat) When you go away you want to know your animals will be loved and your house protected - Anna and Tom justified the trust we gave them. They literally battened down the hatches during a fierce storm and they handled Bruno’s boundless energy with aplomb. Thank you Anna & Tom!

We can not recommend Joanne highly enough : she did a TREMENDOUS job taking care of our elderly cat who had just went through emergency surgery. Joanne took beautifully care of her, especially in everyday post-op treatments. She sent us pictures several times a day as we asked, so we could see how our cat was healing. She left our flat spotless, which was very much appreciated. Joanne truly is a real catlover, patient and caring. Nothing was too much trouble for her. We felt so relieved to have her take care of our cat, she was a life savier ! Thank you so much for everything Joanne, hope to see you again soon ! Nala misses you ;-)

What a pleasure it was to have Caris stay and take care of our kitties! Caris has an incredible energy and was very attentive in her listening and questioning when we first spoke, which immediately set us at ease. She stayed at our house for 2 weeks and took excellent care of our home and cats; everything was sparkling clean when we returned and our animals were very happy and relaxed. One of them even got onto her suitcase to try to leave with her when she departed! We wouldn't hesitate to welcome her back into our home for another sit, and anyone who is lucky enough to nab her will be very glad they did! A+++, thank you Caris! Hope to see you again!

We could not have asked for a better house sitter than Myria!  She is kind, personable, organized, responsible communicative and more...She read all of our instructions before arriving and asked lots of questions about our pups to make sure she understood their personalities and schedules.  You can tell she truly is a dog lover.  Myria provided regular updates and we felt 100% confident leaving our dogs in her care.  We came back to a home that was spotless - you could hardly tell she had been here.  I'd highly recommend Myria as your next zeewoi!

Jerry gets a five star in every area! We actually connected on the phone before he ever arrived but once he got here, it was like we known each other forever! He was very thorough and how he was going to take care of the dogs and the house!! very friendly with the dogs, and they immediately connected with him!! dogs know when they are💖💖 he arrived early so he could become familiar with Circus and tinker and the house and we had a meal together and quickly became best friends! He sent pictures while we were away and updates. Every day. He was gone by the time we came back, but it honestly looked like he had never been in the house. Everything was perfect just like we left it.❗️❗️❗️ so if you’re looking for a Pet Sitter that is reliable in every way, and you know for sure is going to take good care of your pets this man is the one you want to have come to your home❗️❗️ you won’t be disappointed and I can promise you that💖🎉

I’m sure most folks say the nicest things about their sitter, but honestly, if there were a “super star” status available then Denise would win the prize as sitter of the year!

From the start, Denise was an excellent communicator.  While we were still in the decision phase, Denise was always available to chat either by FaceTime, telephone or text.  It was so easy to choose Denise; as you can see from her countless 5 star reviews, she truly is the only pet sitter you’d ever need and the one everyone hopes to have.  

Denise came to our house eager to meet us, our pets and the quirks of our house.  Denise has an excellent sense of humor and immediately put us all at ease.  Our pets took to her as if she was a long lost friend (even our finicky Siamese cat was loving on her from the start).  

While we were gone, our dog had a non-emergency health issue come up and just like that Denise was taking her to our vet, and administered the dog’s meds like a champion (Denise is also a nurse BTW).  Additionally, Denise brought our pup to her scheduled groom appointments and even made future appointments for us to make our return home as seamless as possible.

Denise was even above and beyond helpful to our neighbors and they appreciated her giving them access to our refrigerator when theirs broke down on Thanksgiving Eve!  

When we got home we were super impressed by how perfectly immaculate our house was!  Most sitters leave the house clean, but Denise met and may have even exceeded our military standards of clean and orderly.  Seriously, our house felt like we never left it.  Everything was spotless, shinny and clean.  She didn’t miss a beat!!  Our pets were so happy to see us but honestly, I felt like our pup and kitty were disappointed when we walked in the door (I believe they were expecting to see Denise!).  Haha.  

If you are ever fortunate enough to have Denise apply for any of your sits then I can’t recommend her enough.  Seriously, you can stop reviewing applicants and just go with Denise.  She was awesome in every sense of the word and I hope she’ll come back and stay with our pets again.

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!

Susan and Jim were amazing sitters for my 2 boys whilst I went to Portugal to play golf. Communication we had prior to the sit was excellent, and we were able to discuss the dogs in detail. They arrived the day before I was due to leave so we were able to have a good handover.

They really looked after the dogs well, and my house was immaculate when I returned. I can't recommend them highly enough, just wished they lived in the UK so I could use them on a regular basis. Thank you Susan and Jim xx

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.

Katie & Kevin jumped in last-minute, as our sitters had to cancel. And what can I say: We couldn't have chosen better even if we would had more choices and time. Katie & Kevin were so easy to communicate with and the first meeting and handoff were so easy and smooth. We could go on vacation with peace of mind knowing our dog and 2 ponies are in the best hands. Katie & Kevin: Thank you so much for looking after our animals so well !!!

They took very good care of my pets which involved feeding cats twice daily, fish once or twice a day and filling up fountain for birds. Animals were healthy and happy when I returned. Nothing was lost or broken, and Diane even found a lost grinder part that had fallen into the cats food while I was using it. They are a pleasant couple. 

They were invited from Wednesday to Sunday.  They arrived on Monday so had 3 days instead of one to learn the pets routine. They also informed me that they wouldn't be leaving until Monday morning, but that worked out well since I was mistaken about the end date of my cruise and couldn't get home until Monday. Everything was left neat, but I had minor housekeeping to do (clean sink, fingerprints off glass table, sweep floor). They are older than stated on the profile, which they said only allows 65 as a top age. 68 and 73. Bruce has health problems that requires he sleeps sitting up in a chair that has a leg lift, which luckily I had, so he slept in my living room. They are fine caring for cats, but my friend with a dog decided to find another sitter rather than leave him with them (she was going to pay) because they seem somewhat frail.

Alia is truly the most wonderful, loving and kind dog sitter I have used.  My husky LOVES her.  Not to mention whenever I travel and return home, my apartment is neat and orderly.  She even baked a treat for me on my return! I highly recommend Alia.  She has sat for me several times and I can't wait to use her again. 
Thanks Alia! Me and Grey love having you:)

I cannot thank Jenny and Geoff enough for stepping in at the last minute after the original sitter cancelled. They are a great couple, friendly , organised and extremely capable. Also they LOVE animals.  My dog and cat have clearly been given a great deal of care and attention in my absence. 
Jenny kept in touch with notes and lovely photos, Geoff cut my grass and I came home to a spotlessly sparkling house ! Thank you so much! 
Jenny and Geoff are welcome back anytime and I would not hesitate to recommend them as excellent sitters.
