Daniel
Avoca, Indiana
Life-long gardeners, animal lovers and remote workers.
Daniel was really nice and took great care of my babies. He gave me updates throughout the sit and made me feel at ease knowing he was taking care of my kittens. Would love to host you again.

Retired, Love Animals & Travel!
Sally was an amazing guest and she took great care of Boston and Blaze. We feel like we hit the jackpot with her. I wish she could come and stay with the boys every time!
Sienna
Avoca, Indiana
Just your friendly neighborhood house sitter :)
Sienna was just a sweetheart. Dogs loved her. She took great care of the old girls like they were hers. I would love her to sit again.
Adrienne
Avoca, Indiana
Pet-loving cat-whispering wander-lusting network engineer
We joined zeewoi recently and were lucky enough to quickly connect with Adrianne. She was communicative, kind, and tidy. Our dog bonded with her instantly. She sent us updates and pictures of our little dog every day. The bonus: we came back to the house as we left it. 😊
Chelsea
Avoca, Indiana
The Purr-fect Pet Sitter
Chelsea was super communicative and very flexible. I felt confident that Mayzie and our house was well taken care of. She did a great job with the outdoor and indoor plants also! Would definitely ask her to sit again!
Melissa
Avoca, Indiana
Traveling linguist
Melissa arrived on time, took great care of my dog and cat, and even stayed a bit longer than planned when my own travel plans got messed up (flight in the midwest in August…).
Beth
Avoca, Indiana
Trustworthy, single, mature woman to care for pets, plants and garden.
Beth took care of our cats and garden, however, communication was difficult.
Maya
Avoca, Indiana
Experienced Couple, Trusted Partners in Care: Professional Pet-Sitting Services
We appreciate the good job Maya and Jono did caring for our many plants, and our dogs seemed to be well cared for. Unfortunately, Maya was sick when she and Jono arrived for the sit, and she reported being sick the entire stay. When our doorbell camera showed a car had been in the driveway all night the first night after we left and the visitor had come with a dog, we asked if they had had an overnight dog visitor. They replied yes, but it was a service dog because the friend had a disability. We explained that our dogs don't get along with other dogs and we do not want another dog staying in the house; they became defensive, and the relationship with Maya and Jono became adversarial from that point on. Maya said that she was offended that we were not sensitive to people with disabilities. She also noted that they had made great sacrifices to do the sit, and we were insufficiently grateful. After several days of arguing via text, we decided that we would have to come home from our trip early. With zeewoi' assistance, we came to a mutually agreeable return date five days earlier than planned. When we returned home, we found that Maya and Jono had left the home unsecured. The door from the garage into the house had been left unlatched, so our dogs came running out as soon as we opened the garage door. The back patio door on the lower level had also been left unlocked. There were dirty dishes in the sink, and two kitchen countertops had sticky food residue. The stovetop and control panel were covered with grease splatters. Our Welcome Guide disclosed that we had security cameras, including an indoor camera in the great room. I pointed out the indoor camera to Jono during the house orientation. (Maya did not participate in the orientation because she was sick when she arrived and went immediately to bed.) It did not seem to be an issue, and I did not know that zeewoi now has a policy that requires indoor security cameras to be disabled during sits. After a few days, Maya reported the camera to zeewoi as if she had discovered a hidden camera! This was the ninth time we used zeewoi and the only time we had a contentious relationship with the housesitters. It was also the only time we felt so uncomfortable with the housesitters that we needed to come home early.
Reviews from Pet Owners
Craig
Samantha and Scott are great sitters and we enjoyed hearing from them a couple of times while we were away. Our pets were very relaxed and happy too! Very happy to recommend them.
Sarah
Mary Jessica was a wonderful house and pet sitter for our GIANT dog Mamma Mia. She took extremely good care of our house with it cleaner than we left it upon our return. Our neighbors remarked on all the walks she gave Mamma and Mamma seemed very pleased with the entire experience. Mary Jessica was self sufficient, needing very little instruction outside of our Welcome Guide. She followed everything I wrote and asked how much communication I’d want. I’m very pleased and would both recommend her and love to have her again.
Samantha and Dan
Kelly and Chris are lovely people and we loved having them at the house! They were very engaged from the start, asking questions and wanting to know all the details on our pets. We were completely comfortable going away and didn’t worry during our trip knowing our kiddos were in such great hands. K & C gave us pics & updates as requested, and we loved seeing our pets have such a good time with them! They left the house in as good or better shake as it was found, laundering and folding linens and tidying up so well we could hardly tell they stayed here! They were communicative before the sit, during, and after. Kelly and Chris were the ideal sitters in every way. We’d welcome them back anytime and highly recommend them to others. Thanks you two!

I had the pleasure of having Tracey and her two children as house sitters, and I can't praise them enough for the incredible job they did. From the moment they stepped into our home, it was evident that they were dedicated, caring, and attentive to every detail. First and foremost, Tracey's approach to caring for our house and our beloved pets was nothing short of excellent. She has an innate ability to connect with animals, and it was clear from the daily updates and photos that our pets were happy and thoroughly pampered. The house was kept in immaculate condition, and they treated it with the utmost respect as if it was their own. Moreover, Tracey demonstrated remarkable responsibility and initiative when our AC system unexpectedly broke down. Without hesitation, she arranged for an HVAC company to come and fix the issue, taking time from her day to ensure our home was taken care of. Her willingness to front the repair costs until I could reimburse her was an act of kindness and trust that you rarely see. Tracey and her children's thoughtfulness and thoroughness provided me with peace of mind during my time away, which is priceless. I returned to a home that was just as I left it, if not better. Their stay was characterized by an extraordinary level of care and I was particularly impressed by how they left the house in perfect condition, with happy pets to welcome me back. I wholeheartedly recommend Tracey to any future hosts. Her reliability, compassion, and the ability to handle unexpected situations with grace are commendable. I would welcome Tracey and her children back to house sit in a heartbeat – they are exactly the kind of house sitters that one hopes for on this site! Thank you, Tracey, for everything. You and your children are welcome back anytime!
Caitlin
This was my first time using house sitters and Shanen and Ryan were wonderful. She sent me pictures of Calla and game me updates on Calla’s activities. She would be welcome to pet sit for me anytime!
Suzanne
Melanie and Steve were excellent house & pet sitters. They sent me so many pictures of my 3 cats without me even asking and it made me so happy to see them enjoying their company. I'd say out of all the house sitters I've had, they spent the most time with my cats which means a lot to me. They are kind, easy to connect with and I'd welcome them back anytime. As far as caring for my house - top notch.
Dominique
Ce was an amazing house sitter for our best bud Atlas. She not only took amazing care of our needy pup, she took great care of the home as well. I honestly think she left it cleaner than I left it for her! We certainly hope she is around the next time our best friend needs a friend. If you're looking for a responsible caregiver for your pets and home - look no further!

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! Dean & Diana Smith

Neil and Anne have just sat for us for a second time, for a week. They are outstanding sitters in every way. Always punctual with communication and arrival. They both have responsible jobs and this is evident as they are both very organised. They care very much about the animals they look after. We were regularly sent updates, pictures and video clips of them, which is great to see when you are away. When we came home we were greeted by happy pets and an immaculately tidy house. We cannot recommend Neil and Anne enough. As far as we are concerned they are perfect housesitters! …...Hopefully they will come back and sit again soon!
Nicky
Shella was a great house sitter and I had no concerns leaving her in charge when we went away. She kept in touch while we were away and we returned to happy pets and a tidy house. What more can you ask?! I would be more than happy to welcome Shella back to house sit another time.
