Erin
Athens, West Virginia
Loving, adventurous professionals seek amazing pets to cuddle
Erin is an amazing pet sitter. This is her second time to sit with Gracie, which made the hand-off go smoothly. She sent me frequent mini-video updates and asked great questions about minor health issues. I could tell how much Gracie loved her by watching the two of them say their farewells. Erin will always be my first choice when traveling if she is available to return!
Sabrina
Athens, West Virginia
Unofficial professional pet snugglers!
Sabrina was very attentive to our fur babies. She sent regular pictures and checked in about what was normal and what was not for our old man cat. Highly recommend them! Thank you so much! 
Sonya
Athens, West Virginia
40+ years of experience caring for animals; loving them too!
We would highly recommend Sonya as a Sitter. She had fantastic communication skills - always keeping us updated on our two pups and anything related to the house. She regularly sent us pics and videos so we could see how they were doing. Just as important, we could tell that Sonya was genuinely a dog lover. In a short period of time she connected with our dogs and they connected with her. They seemed to spend the days and nights by her side while she was working and sleeping. Sonya took very good care of our home, keeping us updated on anything pertinent and her transition to the next set of Sitters was easy and organized. Thank you Sonya! We hope to have you back again in the future!

Down to earth, responsible, animal lover who loves to travel!
I spent some time with this young couple and enjoyed getting to know them. This was the first time I had a child with the sitter. Pippa slept with the child part of the first night! If my cats are happy, I'm happy. I would invite them again.
Martin
Athens, West Virginia
A Trustworthy and Loving Caretaker for Your Furry Friend and Home!
This was Martin's second (or third?) sit. He did a 3 1/2 month sit last spring and a month long sit this time. We love him. He is very organized, a good communicator and keeps the house clean. We'd have him back any time.
Emily

Professional besties, non-smokers, responsible, love all the fur babies.
Emily and Beth were great Sitters, the looked good after our Pets 2 Dogs and 4 Cats. Daily sending us Videos and Fotos. We were very happy to have them here and would love to welcome them again.

Lynne and David were wonderful cat and house sitters for us. They communicated clearly and kept us updated and left our place spotless. We would highly recommend them!
Jennifer
Athens, West Virginia
BAGS ARE PACKED AND READY!
Having Jennifer and Stuart as our zeewoi was a fantastic experience. From the start, we were very comfortable with their calm, friendly, and curious demeanor. During the weeks leading up to their sit dates, our communications were superb. They were available 100% of the time that we needed to touch base, and they asked the right questions about our home, our 4 year old dachshund Hamish, and what they needed to be prepared for when visiting Portugal. Every aspect of their sit was a 5-star experience for us. As animal lovers and owners themselves, they embraced our pup with the utmost care and attention to his needs. We received regular updates while we were traveling, which gave us great comfort. When Jennifer and Stuart went out to explore our attractions, they brought our pup along whenever they could. After a few days, it seemed that they chose experiences that were specifically dog-friendly, just as we do when we are home. Upon our return, Hamish was calm and relaxed, having been well-exercised and unstressed during our travels. Our home was in immaculate, perfect condition. It was impossible to tell that anybody had been here the entire time. If you are lucky enough to meet Jennifer and Stuart, we cannot recommend them enough. You would be making a fantastic decision for the care of your home and your pets. They are friendly, genuine people and we know we will have a mutual interest in staying in touch with them in the years ahead. Once again, zeewoi has proven to be an amazing resource for us.

Susan
Athens, West Virginia
Mature, Reliable, and dedicated couple
Susan and Peter were wonderful house and pet sitters! They walked our 3 dogs and played with them in our fenced yard. They kept my garden and house plants watered and they left the house spotless. We were in communication the whole week and they sent pictures of our dogs daily. We couldn’t be happier with the care they gave our dogs! Susan even bathed all 3 the day we were returning! We highly recommend Susan and Peter.
Reviews from Pet Owners
Heather
Amanda was the perfect housesitter and pet sitter for our cat. She is organized and communicative, and took care to ensure she understood the guidelines for taking care of our home and our cat. She left our house in perfect condition and we returned home to one happy kitty! Would not hesitate to have Amanda housesit for us again or recommend her to others looking for a sitter.
Jennifer
Natalie and Christian were dream pet sitters while we were out of the country for 2.5 weeks. From start to finish, they were reliable and professional, with excellent communication. They had took great care of our dog and chickens and left the house and car in great shape. Plus, they’re just a really sweet young couple. We’d highly recommend them as house sitters.
Shannon
Rachel was an excellent pet sitter for my cat. She was a good communicator and also kept my place very tidy. She even left me a gift of a bar of chocolate upon her departure! Highly recommend.
Korinda
Laura was an exceptional, reliable, and loving sitter for our goldendoodle Scout, and took such good care of our home! Scout was excited to meet Laura immediately when she arrived at our home for this sit, and showered Laura with all the hugs and kisses. Scout has recently been having issues with seizures, so for this sit I was specifically looking for a sitter who had a depth of experience with giving medication and responding calmly in the event of an emergency. It was a big relief to be able to entrust Scout to Laura's capable and kind hands, and it was extra special that Laura's beloved vizsla had shared the same name. Laura is wonderfully easy to communicate and coordinate with, and was thorough in her care of our home. We came back to our garden looking great, house left in even better shape than I left it to Laura, and a very happy Scout! I cannot overstate how much we appreciated Laura's care for Scout and our home, and heartily recommend her as a pet and house sitter. If you're lucky enough to get on Laura's schedule, your pups will be with the most wonderful stand-in dog mom you could have hoped for!

Elaine was the best dog and cat sitter I have ever had! She was so loving to the boys, kind, reliable, capable and took fabulous care of my two dogs and cat welfare. Walked them every day and would even sing to them (-: I am so very grateful to have had the pleasure of meeting Elaine and I would recommend Elaine to anyone wanting first class care of pets and home!!! We all miss having her around and wish her a fabulous world trip and safe journey back to the States.

I could not have asked for a better first time sitter experience! Terry & Vinnie were absolutely wonderful people. They took stellar care of my beloved pets and my home. Their communication with me was enough that I felt perfectly at ease during my time away and in turn, they were super responsive if I contacted them. My pets were relaxed and happy when I returned!
Sally
Toby and we were SO lucky to have Tom be our home and pet sitter for our Thanksgiving Holiday trip! From the very beginning Tom was responsive and communicative. He was even able to arrange a "meet and greet" with us and Toby before beginning his stay. While here Tom took great care of our home, and, most importantly, provided wonderful care of Toby! When we got home everything was in perfect order and we could tell that even though Toby was happy to see us he was going to miss Tom. I would be thrilled if we could have Tom as our zeewoi again. You will be lucky if he can do the same for you. :)
Aaron
Leo and Susi were wonderful pet sitters for our two cats. They were responsive, communicative, and gracious guests, and the I swear the house was cleaner when we got home than we left it. The cats were very contented. Any time we leave we will be checking in with them first. Such a pleasure to work with.
Samantha
Farhan is a fantastic house sitter! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a down-to-earth, kind, and caring pet sitter for their home. We have three small dogs (around 6 lbs) and he took excellent care of them. They can be a little nervous/ timid around new people, and more so around men at times, but the dogs didn't show any of that nervousness around Farhan! He was gentle and respectful of their space and they warmed up to him immediately. I got a wonderful text the first morning that I was away that they cuddled up with him at night - showing how quickly they adjusted to him as their caretaker. I was able to meet Farhan in person before I left on my trip and I was able to have a wonderful conversation with an ambitious explorer. He is a delightful person. Upon my homecoming the house was very clean and the dogs were happy and relaxed. I can't ask for anything more! Thank you Farhan for taking such wonderful care of our three dogs and our home.

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. Melissa and Kyle
