Brian was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. He exudes professionalism with kindness and care. He honestly takes every aspect into consideration when looking after one's house and pet. This made us feel relaxed and calm during our long term getaway to a country far from home. Brian is self-sufficient but also conscious of asking for additional information if needed. He genuinely goes the extra mile to seek information (in pur case which dustbin day was our certain dustbin) before contacting me. When I needed service people to come onto the property he was always available and made it feel like these things were not a bother. Storm honestly looked as if she was smiling in the one photo he had sent, which made my husband and I so happy. The regular updates were perfectly timed and Storm really looked healthy and beyond happy when we returned. She didn't display any stress on our return but made us feel like she wanted a few more days with Brian 😉 Brian left our house in an immaculate condition. I will honestly be asking Brian to return when possible as he made this stay an absolute pleasure. No thank you're would be enough for how great he was.

Deborah & Duffie were wonderful sitters! They communicated very clearly before and during the sit. Gonzo had the best time with them, getting to go to the beach, the dog park, and on lots of walks. He was so sad to see them go that he hopped in their car while they were packing up lol. Duffie also very kindly drove us to and from the airport and we came home to a spotless house. I’d recommend them to anyone!

These two were so good with our baby. We were comfortable, and Chappie, our miniature schnauzer, was more than happy as well. He gave all of my snuggles to Donna. We would love to have them back for another visit. They even made changes to their schedule to make sure someone was here with Chappie when the Delta airlines were down in 2024 for days, maybe weeks.

Kirsten is an outstanding sitter. She took care of my cat and my apartment for one week. Everything was perfect from beginning to end. My cat attached quickly to her and spent lots of time snuggling and cuddling on her lap. I received regular updates with many heartwarming photos. Communication was ongoing and flowing. She left the apartment spotless. Merci mille fois, Kirsten! Tu as été parfaite!

We recommend Chantal as a Zeewoi! She took care of our two cats, Juan and Willy, over the holiday season of 2023/24 while we left town to see family for about two weeks. Chantal was easy to communicate with and took great care of our cats and our home. We highly recommend and Chantal and we will definitely invite Chantal to stay again for future house sits!!

If Jessie writes an application to housesit for you, your search is over! She is amazing. This is the second time she comes to take care of our two beloved cats and house and the minute she steps in, I am on vacation. Jessie is warm, present and loving but also attentive to details. Coming back from vacation, the cats are calm and happy and the house looks great. I am grateful beyond words! Thank you Jessie and please come back!

We LOVE Andre and Karine! They have been with us three times and counting. They are much more than house/pet sitters to us. We have forged a deep friendship with these two. They always arrive with the most beautiful energy, spirit and love - genuine love - for Freya and Rupa. When we're lucky enough to schedule them to stay with the pups, we make time to have dinner together, to have time to walk together. They know our home well now. They are always willing to go well beyond and above the call of duty! They got the dogs out for a field trip to Stowe, as well as the daily walking routine on the trails by our house. Rupa gets plenty of ball chasing in the yard while Freya keeps her "in check" because that's what a good border collie does! Andre and Karine are very attuned to the unique characters of both dogs. Even though this was a short weekend away, Andre and Karine texted pictures and updates while they were here. When we returned, we found two, very contented dogs and a home that was left in better condition than we left it. As if this wasn't icing on the cake, we found a vegetable pasta marinara in the fridge for dinner along with a bottle of wine. Andre and Karine give their heart and soul to all the relationships they find through zeewoi. If you're considering them for a stay at your home, we ENTHUSIASTICALLY recommend them!

Mary was fantastic from start to finish and looked after our elderly dog with love and attention to her needs. She also looked after our home with respect and care. We couldn't have asked for a nicer sitter and would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.

Anant was a great sitter and a friendly guy. Kept me up to date re his arrival and with Marie & Toulouse during the sit. Found my house exactly as I had left it. Would highly recommend Anant to other pet parents.

Lisa and her friend Sara were amazing pet and house sitters! We can't say enough great things about them - our pets were so calm when we returned from our trip and so happy... Lisa and Sara kept in touch with us regularly and sent us beautiful photos of the pets as well. We returned to a spotless home, fresh flowers and a note with polaroids of Soy, Calvin and Chickie! We absolutely loved hosting Lisa and Sara and highly recommend them, they are some of the best sitters we have ever had and they're welcome back anytime!!

Not only did Krista take great care of our cat while we were away, she left the house cleaner than she found it. She also kept in touch with occasional photos and videos of kitty antics, which gave me peace of mind that the cat was well-cared for. We definitely recommend her as a house and pet sitter and would ask her again in the future!

What a lovely couple Tara and Tyler are. They had been in Scottsdale about six weeks before the house sit. and can to meet us. Rusé, our Toy Fox Terrier, fell in love with them immediately, and was in Tara’s arms within two minutes. We always like our sitters to arrive the day before we leave, take them out to dinner and get to know them. It was quite apparent from the videos and photos we received, that Rusé did not miss us. Tara and Tyler’s three grown up children joined them before Xmas-to Rusé’s delight as these were additional hands to throw his rubber bones and balls. The house was all clean and tidy, when we returned.. There is a strong possibility that Tara and Tyler will move to Arizona from Montana, with two of their children, recently moved to the area. They have already offered to look after Rusé in the future. We know he would love it. We cannot recommend Tyler and Tara higher enough, they were perfect House and Pet sitters

Bryan and Dana were the perfect sitters for Cella.  We were delighted that they were able to arrive a day early so that we could enjoy dinner with them and get to know one another.  We would be honored to have them sit again.  On top of their great care they left us a thoughtful friendship gift.  zeewoi continues to be the best site ever.  Not only do we have great pet sitters for Cella, we also have the opportunity to meet great new friends. Thank you!!

Not only did our pets enjoy meeting Kelly and Christopher, my husband and I enjoyed meeting them as well!  They are personable and kind, organized and communicative, and most of all excellent pet sitters.  
      Kelly and Chris are attentive housesitters.  They went out of their way to connect with our dogs, especially Smitty, our rescue.  The dogs were walked, brushed, and played with throughout the weeklong sit. They sent pics of how our fur babies were doing and truly seemed to enjoy their time with them.  The peace of mind that comes with great house sitters  who care for your precious pups and the home you love is priceless.  Thank you once again, Kelly and Christopher!  We hope to see you again!

Laura is incredible!  For starters, she is a clear and considerate communicator who is reliable and trustworthy while setting up details for a sit in advance.  From there... where do we start?!  Laura (and her sister Stephanie, for a few days) took care of our cat & dog for a week-long sit. We were immediately at ease with both of them, and it was clear that they were excited to meet our pets and love them, and relaxed and comfortable in this role. They asked informed and curious questions about our pets, routines, and the surrounding area to set up a successful sit. When we departed, our dog hardly seemed to notice, because she was getting to know her new people! 

The snuggle-fest and hiking adventures that took place while we were gone resulted in happy pets who were calm and content. We received daily photos, which were heart warming, and assured us that dog hugs and cat exercise were taking place.  Our dog is very affectionate, and Laura made sure that she received plenty of love while we were gone. Upon return, our home was spotless - tidy and clean (possibly cleaner than when we left, and we tried really hard!) We are games people, and Laura left us some of her favorite games to play (yay), and gifts for our pets, which were so fun to open when we got home.  Everything was so thoughtful and kind. 

Laura is absolutely one of the top sitters we've ever had, and we are so grateful for her care.  She went above and beyond basic home/pet care, and her compassion shines through in all of her communications and actions. She (and Stephanie) are welcome anytime, and we (Zora and Morris especially) hope they will come stay again!

5 stars? Minimum, seriously, Tyler exceeded our expectations and we are DEMANDING when it comes to caring for our 4 pups!  Fortunate to meet Tyler in person about a month prior, instant rapport, and she was basically born surrounded by animals.

Professional high energy, and enthusiastic love for animals!  We asked Tyler "Why the heck would you drive 1.5 hours from Nashville to hang in our small town?" Tyler replied "Have had animals all my life, current Nashville location cannot, I need my animal fix!"

Tyler arrived the evening prior to our departure, met our 4 dogs, the eldest is special needs with bad hips, the youngest a wild child 2 year old husky, and in the 15 years of having family or friends assist with our pup sitting, this is the most positive and enthusiastic our dogs have been to anyone outside our home. It was an instant love affair.

Our dogs are so spoiled with mom & dad working from home, nearly 24/7 attachment, they typically become depressed, despondent, ornery, you name it, even if we go out for 2-3 hours.   The 3 instances where we did an overnight trip or the like, they acted as if we had abandoned!

When we came home after 3 nights away (was going to be 5 but business cut our first vacation in 10 years short), when we walked in the 4 of them looked up as if to say "Oh your home how nice" and were content as if we had never left. That is a FIRST in 15 years.

Not only did Tyler provide us with updates, photos, messages, etc. she organized (we did not require nor ask) our complete chaos of a large kitchen drawers, pots pans, you name it, it was the most organized we have been in a LONG time. 

Our eldest handicapped Husky, usually has accidents in the house at least once a day.  The youngest 2 year old loves to chew up the carpet, toys, bedding. Under Tyler's watch, no accident, no chewing, and total happiness from a new affectionate friend!

This was our VERY FIRST Trusted House/Pet sitter foray, and Tyler far exceeded or expectations, and set a standard that will be difficult for others to follow.  Allowing a total stranger to watch your beloved pets and home is a serious undertaking, and Trusted House/Pet provided us with  a rock star.

Family and friends alike joke how we are over the top with our dogs, and Tyler did not bat an eye, and provided a seamless transition of puppy affection and well being.

This review may seem over the top to some, all I can say is this is 100% true to life, and other Home/Pet owners are welcome to reach out to us for further referral.

Those who are able to work with Tyler depending on her work/travel schedule would be well served to invite her without hesitation.

Tyler, THANK YOU for allowing us to enjoy a few nights for the first time in a decade!

For our first experience with a house sitter, Jim and Julie have set the bar high.  We felt totally confident that any issues would be dealt with, fortunately there were none. They were outstanding house and pet sitters whom we would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone. They took exceptional care of our house full of pets from 2 large dogs, 3 cats, snake, gecko, fish tank and a koi pond. They provided updates daily, were very easy to communicate with and the house was just as clean as when we left it, with the addition of a nice welcome home gift. We knew our pets were in good hands. Thank you for everything.
