Catherine and Paul were kind and very nice to communicate with throughout their stay. They left my home tidy, and I returned to find my cats happy and relaxed. Thank you both for taking care of my home.

Vicki and Herman were the dream team! Our dogs adored them and followed them up the driveway as they were leaving...we have a big property and loads to do and Vicki and Herman handled it all - the weather wasn't great but they never complained and took every small hiccup in their stride. They even took our dogs to the beach - their happy place! The house was spotless and the property in great shape. They are friendly, kind and extremely efficient. We cannot recommend them more highly.

Jess & Matt were fantastic! Communication pre & during the sit was great. We got regular updates and our pets looked incredibly relaxed and comfortable in their care, which was so reassuring. We had an electrical issue on day 2 which wasn’t ideal, but they were so understanding and helpful, and luckily we could resolve it the same day. Roger got a little cut on his paw and they took extra care to make sure it could heal. Really 5* - would love to have them back!

Janet and Larry were fabulous! My girls were all relaxed and very happy when I came home, not sure they missed me at all :-) The house was left beautiful and clean. Larry had very kindly prepared dinner for me and left it in the fridge. The garden got a spruce up and the plants and lawn were kept well watered. Lovely couple who I highly recommend. Hopefully one day they will visit the girls and I again. thank you both. Sharryn

Kay and Peter were exceptional house/pet sitters. They brought their own dog Barney and our dog Beau bonded with Barney from day 1. They loved their romps every day on the beach. We came home to a spotless house and a delicious home cooked meal. Thanks Kay and Peter for taking such good care of Beau. Gaye

Would love to have Jennifer to pet sit again. She sent regular pictures and messages about our dogs and cat. We were able to enjoy our holiday knowing they were being well cared for :)

Sonia and her friend came to Look after my brood of animals for 5 days and they were absolutely lovely. She communicated well with me beforehand and made sure she arrived before I left for my trip so we could meet in person and do a handover. My 3 dogs and old cat were well cared for while I was away and they sent photos and an update every day to ease my mind. When I returned the house was perfectly clean and tidy and they had left a little gift for me. I would recommend Sonia to anyone.

Zeewoi… what does that mean? That means you leave your pets and house in the capable hands of someone you trust .That trust for us was developed from looking at past reviews. We chatted to Eugene and Patience before the sit. Patience was due to go back home for the imminent arrival of a grandchild, so it was agreed that Eugene would come alone. We felt comfortable with the chat and agreed the sit. Eugene arrived the day before (Saturday 2nd March) and we had a meal together. We showed him the workings of the house and the routine for the cats. We left the next morning (Sunday 3rd March) for a well earned holiday after 2 1/2 years working on our house. We had a couple of what’s app messages over the next couple of days about the cats, and I asked had he been able to get out and about a bit in the local area. He said he had been to Bordeaux the day before (Thursday 7th March) as recommended by us. We knew he was gone around 9 hours because our external security cameras picked up and recorded him leaving around 8 and returning around 5 which we picked up the next day (Friday 8th March). What we then realised was that there was someone else in the car with him on his return. Also on that day we saw both Eugene and another man leave the house on bikes. In hindsight it did seem strange to us when he arrived that there were 2 bikes on the back of his car. Also some bedding was on show in the back of his car, and knowing he was returning to friends where he came from he could have left a bike and bedding there. We immediately contacted Eugene who was totally gobsmacked that we had discovered his deceit. My question was what does “definitely/absolutely no visitors to the house” which is stated in our profile and welcome pack did he not understand! Eugene then said he is his brother in law but then said he was a mate 🤨 during the conversation who he had picked up in Bordeaux and he would only be staying a couple of days!!! We asked where he was sleeping, Eugene said in our spare bedroom as he had some spare bedding!!! Again in our details it states there is only one en-suite bedroom available to the sitter. We told him in no uncertain terms to get the person (in whatever capacity he was there for) out of our property immediately, only to be told by Eugene that’s rather extreme! Errr no, what was extreme was that he thought he could get away with it not telling us the truth! We also said he should go as well once we sorted out where the cats could go. He advised us later his ‘visitor’ had gone and would we like him to stay on till we were due to return home, he apologised for the ‘stuff up’. No what he realised was that he had been caught out! The answer was a definite no and our friends would be coming by in the morning to take the cats to the cattery (which cost us a lot of money) and collect his keys. Eugene had clearly planned this visit in spite of clear directions that no visitors were allowed. Instead of having a break a few thousand miles away, we had two days ruined whilst sorting out this mess. Eugene’s deceit and arrogance that he could get away with this was beyond belief. I guess our question is how many other people who have had these sitters have had other people brought in by him without their knowledge. It’s difficult enough handing over your home to a stranger who you have only spoken to once on video, but to have total strangers come in without permission is like being violated. Eugene and Patience are simply not Zeewoi he abused our trust.

We feel like we’ve won the pet and house sitter lotto with Scott. 
Most importantly, he’s taken great care of our much loved little dog, giving him a lot of care, affection and attention.
He paid close attention when Tingsha began scratching (allergy to an insect bite) which needed vet care, with great communication with us. 
He even took Tingsha to his agility school class each week (great fun had by all) and to get a groom. We’ve come home to a contented and very happy dog. 
The house is spotless, cleaner than we left it, with fresh flowers and the bed all made up. Perfect! 
We had regular contact with Scott all through our five week trip and being “fellow travellers” (in all senses) enjoyed sharing lots of local travel tips and experiences as we each visited new parts of the world. 
We were happy to lend Scott our car and he’s been great with it, super responsible. 
Scott is a really terrific guy and a fabulous journalist and story teller (you must listen to his podcast about his travels, it’s a cracker). 
In sharing our home and trusting our beloved dog with him, we feel like we’ve made a new friend along the way. 
We recommend Scott without any hesitation and thank him for a wonderful experience, we’d love him to come back and see us, anytime. Thanks a bunch!

Abi and David were FABULOUS pet sitters during our 5-day trip. They were devoted and fun dog walkers, park-goers and ball throwers. They communicated well and sent pictures. And when we got home, the house looked great, and the dogs looked calm. We would gladly have them. Sit for us again and highly recommend them.

This was the 3rd time that Jill sat for us. That says it all but please read our previous reviews. They all stand and Jill is one of the best and most reliable and loving pet sitters we’ve ever had. If you have a chance to have her in your home and caring for your pets, you will be absolutely delighted. We love her.

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!

Kate was an excellent house sitter and pet sitter. She was thoughtful, sensitive, and attuned to our cats and the particulars of our house. It was really easy to communicate with her and she was responsible and conscientious about everything. When we came back our cats seemed unfazed by our return which was a great sign and it was obvious that she spent lots of time with them and gave them lots of love. The house was spotless on our return and she even alerted us to a health matter in one of our cats. She sent lots of cute updates and was easy going when we messed up a logistical detail on our end. Just a delightful person all around. I'd love to have her come again and if you have a chance to have her housesit, jump on it. She is a gem.

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!

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!

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. :)

Kuldip exceeded all the expectations we had from a Zeewoi. She took over from another sitter when we got stuck out of country due to a family emergency. A highly energetic person yet extremely organized, she easily matched the energy level of my 2-year-old Border Collie Pavo. She not only exercised him multiple times every day, but even him bought him new doggy toys and treats (much appreciated!). She got along very well with our neighbor and with their combined help Pavo got a much needed doggy bath!  With her by my dogs side we were worry-free and able to focus on our family needs.  

Lastly, she left a pleasant surprise when we came back home. Our home looked squeaky clean and beautifully organized. Kuldip is a gem of a pet sitter and we would love to have her back for our fur baby without any hesitation. I highly recommend her!

Elaine was a welcomed sitter for Cyrus and Purrelli. I returned from holiday to find a very content relaxed dog and a happy fat cat. Purrelli doesn’t eat when he is stressed so seeing a little meat on him let me know he was content and happy :) My condo was left clean and in order, all communications were smooth and there was zero issues. Thx for the great pet care Elaine.
