Valerie
Wilmington, North Carolina
Mature, responsible, flexible, animal lovers with handyman and gardening skills.
Val and Steve were DREAM petsitters, and you should not hesitate to trust the care of your pets and home to them. Their communication prior to and throughout the stay was top notch, including detailed notes from each day about when they watered plants, and new restaurant recommendations they discovered .They showed up to our front door like pros with doggie treats in their pockets already, and our pups were immediately smitten with them. They left the home immaculately clean even when we told them not to bother, haha. We had a lovely meal with them upon arrival and enjoyed getting to know them on a personal level- would love to visit with them again! Val and Steve- thank you again SO much- it was a treat to know our pups were in such good hands! Enjoy the rest of your trip back to the east coast!
Alvertra
Wilmington, North Carolina
Military Veteran, Special Education Teaching Asst., caring, resourceful & happy
Alvertra was patient with changes to our dates initially and this was much appreciated! She was excellent in communicating with us about when, where, why and how. She was a lovely conversationalist and was interested in and cared for our girls right from the beginning. We received photos daily and could tell the dogs really responded with trust, though we did not meet Alvertra in person before her arrival. Our home was well cared for and we appreciated the excitement Alvertra conveyed about having the Sit. She would always be welcome back to stay with our girls. Thank you so much, A for a wonderful zeewoi experience!
Jocelyn
Wilmington, North Carolina
Caring for precious furs and cherished homes with love, integrity and respect.
Jocelyn & Dennis were 5 star house sitters. The communication up front and while I was away, was excellent. I came home to a happy dog, a tidy house and a thoughtfully prepared meal was in my fridge. I wish I could have them for all of my trips!
Shawn
Wilmington, North Carolina
Retired couple ready to care for your home and pets like they are our own.
Shawn & Clive are a great couple: friendly, reliable, competent and enthusiastic. They did a fabulous job caring for our dog and two cats plus our house and yard. The animals were happy and healthy on our return, the garden and yard watered, the house neat and tidy, and they even provided a short-term fix for our outdoor shower malfunction. We would welcome them back.
Tanya
Wilmington, North Carolina
Mature, calm, work-from-home woman, ready to care for your pet and home
What a pleasure to host Tanya! Communication was super smooth throughout and she was very flexible. She helped while we were out with a family member who needed to borrow something. I came home to a spotless house and a happy cat. Thank you Tanya :)
Alexandra
Wilmington, North Carolina
Responsible, Pet-loving Family, Looking Forward to Caring for Your Pets & Home
We feel so fortunate to have had Alex & Jason sit for us. They took impeccable care of our 1 yo weimaraner and herd of 6 llamas/alpacas. We enjoyed seeing their updates from the farm while we were away. Their daughter was so adorable and her joy and comfortability around the animals was awesome to see and witness. We have no complaints about Jason and Alex as sitters and would love to have them back in the future! They were good communicators, kind, and respectful. We really enjoyed getting to know them the night before the sit and felt 100% comfortable leaving them with our farm. Highly recommend them to other hosts!
Cindy
Wilmington, North Carolina
Caring, loving, adventurous couple, we will treat your home & pet like our own.
This was my first time using zeewoi while going on an extended vacation and first time ever leaving my special needs dog. I couldn’t be more thrilled to have found this organization and Cindy and Wiley to take care of my aging dog. Cindy and Wiley are just the nicest, kindest people you could ever meet with such love in their hearts for animals. They took amazingly good care of my Austin… taking him with them wherever they went, out for walks all the time and gave him his meds as needed. I received almost daily updates on his care with photos putting my mind at ease. I really can’t say enough good things about them and how they cared for my home and dog. I found my home in better condition than when I left. (Wiley did a small “honey do” project for me while I was away… so grateful… but please don’t expect that!!!) I will definitely use them again if they’re available next time I have to travel and highly recommend them to anyone considering a house/pet sitter.
Lisa
Wilmington, North Carolina
Active-Conscientious-Communicative-Dependable-Handy-Outgoing-Tidy-Nonsmokers
Lisa and Stephan are kind and wonderful. From the moment I met them, I felt very comfortable and so did Winston. They took exceptional care of Winston and my home. The Koi pond needed some extra care and it looked much better than before I left on my trip. I was consistently kept up to date with photos and messages. Everything was neat and tidy upon my return. Thank you so much Lisa and Stephan!
Janice & Mark
Wilmington, North Carolina
Retired couple, previous pet owners/Sitters available on relatively short notice
Janice & Mark went way above and beyond during their sit. They cleaned up and washed/dried/changed the sheets in the guest room. They sent pics of themselves walking and relaxing with my dog. They were great communicators and very pleasant to work with. I'd happily host them again!

We had just lost our Addie and was thankful that Pamela was going to be with Grayson who loves her and she him along with our 20 year old cat Maddie ! Gave us great relief that they were in good hands ! Definitely will have her back again !!
Reviews from Dog Owners
Tess
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!
Tamar
Julia was an amazing house sitter and dog sitter! She sent me photos and updates every day, she took my pup Jordan on long walks and gave him the love, care, and patience that he needs. She was so easy and comfortable to communicate with and she left the house so clean and tidy for when I came back. Definitely recommend her!!!
Jeff
My dog had a medical emergency while in John’s care and I credit him with saving my pup’s life. You couldn’t ask for a better sitter in a pressure situation. He also communicated regularly during the stay, keeping me posted on how my pup was doing. Would recommend John to anyone who needs a sitter they can trust.
Abby
David and Elynn were fabulous pet sitters and house sitters. Our dog and rabbit were well-taken care of, the house was left even cleaner than when they arrived! I would highly recommend David and Elynn, and would happily have them again! David and Elynn took excellent care of our dog Cosmo and our rabbit Oreo. They made sure they were happy, well-fed, and got exercise and fresh air! We were very happy to receive several photos of our furry friends while we were away. They took amazing care of the house and yard, and were very open with communication. If they were uncertain of anything or had a question, they were very open about reaching out! David and Ellyn were wonderful houseguests, who left the house even cleaner than they found it! I would highly recommend David and Elynn and their two adorable children. They are wonderful, respectful people who definitely love animals and will give your pets and home lots of care! Thank you!! :)
Michael & Ashleigh
From her promptness to schedule a pre-sit call to her truly thorough tidying of our house, Stella was an amazing housesitter from start to finish!! She read all the info we put together ahead of time, and asked for clarification on just a few things which made us confident that the pup and the house were in good shape :) Stella was really gracious when we admitted to not having a coffee pot, and handling things calmly when there was an incident with street parking. Maybe most importantly though our dog Luke was calm when we came home. I think if future sitters are clear in their expectations around frequency of communication/photos and the dogs needs then Stella is the perfect person to exceed your expectations!
Patti
Cleo is a very lucky puppy dog to have been cared for by Matt & Lisa! We’ve had quite a few sitters over the last 2 years with TH, and I have no reservations saying that they were the best! First, communication was fabulous from the start. They put me at ease before they ever got here. Throughout the sit, there were regular updates and pictures. They were so very attentive to Cleo, and even ventured out with her on trail walks (Cleo’s favorite thing in the world). They handled her medications with no problem. It was obvious that my nervous pup was at ease and loved them, as she ended up sleeping with them! I’d have Matt & Lisa again in a heartbeat, and would recommend to anybody!
Amanda
Liz was a fantastic sitter for our boys and took great care of our home. She was a great communicator and kept us informed of what was happening and how our dogs were doing. She also kept our home clean and tidy. We would be grateful to have Liz sit for us anytime!
Stephanie
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.
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!
Anne
The two-leggeds and four-legged members of this household give Tess a 5-star rating! We think she's one of the best sitters you will find - highly communicative, friendly, competent, reliable, and great with pets. Tess was also flexible about start and end dates to accomodate possible winter weather complications. For this sit, Tess was able to bring along her mom, Cathy. Tess introduced me to Cathy during one of our Skype conversations prior to the sit. It was a bonus to have her here with Tess. Their travel to Marquette was complicated by weather. A fierce winter storm swept across Michigan just before the sit. It took Tess and Cathy two days to drive here but they arrived, as promised, in time for us to fly out early the next morning. We even had time for a lovely dinner together and to introduce them to the dogs and house. We left the next day and never had a moment's worry while Tess and Cathy were caring for our pets and home. Tess sent us regular updates and photos. The dogs immediately accepted them as great new additions to their pack of friends - even our cranky, old chihuahua, Nike! We returned to happy pets and a spotlessly clean home. We plan to invite Tess (and Cathy if available) to return for future sits. Thank you, Tess and Cathy!
