David
Dartmouth, Canada
Self-employed Canadian couple with a love for animals and a passion for travel!
David and Erin were fantastic zeewoi and have given us even more confidence about the company. They were super friendly and organised and gave us lots of feedback of our girls during their stay. Our house was left immaculate with all linens washed and ready to be used again. So helpful and considerate following a holiday! We would definitely have them stay again.
Tegan
Dartmouth, Canada
Work-from-home couple ready to spoil your pets
Tegan and Jacob were INCREDIBLE. Less than a week before we left Ernest with them for two nights, Ernest had to have emergency surgery. Afterwards, Ernest was taking three medications, twice a day, and had to be kept trapped in our bathroom, so that he didn't move too much or jump on anything. I was very worried and considered cancelling my work trip. How could a stranger be trusted to keep an eye on him, give him his medications on time, spend time with him in a bathroom?? But Tegan and Jacob came to the RESCUE! They immediately inspired confidence so I felt like I could go without guilt. And then they delivered. They literally sat with their laptops on the bathroom floor so Ernest could sit next to them and not be lonely. They handled his multiple meds and reported twice a day with photos as to how he was doing. They kept an eye on his surgical site and reported on his urine. They left us a two-page handwritten note with all the details about his condition along with freshly baked cookies - just because. They even cleaned up the flies that were starting to accumulate in the bathroom because of the food we were leaving out for Ernest there. I am stunned by their commitment and kindness. Ernest has been much less anxious about being trapped in the bathroom, I think because he no longer associates it with isolation and loneliness. My husband and I are left to wonder whether we should have gone away longer 😅 Anyway, I can go on and on, but they were absolutely the right people to find at the right time, and we (and Ernest) feel very fortunate to have had them here. Strong strong recommend!!
Sarah
Dartmouth, Canada
Honest, kind teacher looking to pet and house sit ;)
We can't thank Sarah enough for providing us with peace of mind and such great care of our home and pets. We would you use her again in a heartbeat! Everything went smoothly from the beginning, with great communication and quick responses. We felt our fur family and home were in very capable hands, and this contributed to us being able to relax and enjoy our family vacation. Thank you so much to Sarah and also Melinda for everything.
Terri
Dartmouth, Canada
Cheerful, experienced and professional house/pet sitting couple.
It was such a joy to meet Terri and Greg! They were so lovely on every level. They looked after my home and animals with loving care, and sent the best pictures of all of them out and about. I am certain that Chili is still missing them! The also were flexible to come a day early to meet me, given there would not have been time on the day of my flight. The house was sparkling clean when I returned, and my critters were happy and taken care of. Would highly recommend.
Catherine
Dartmouth, Canada
Retired educator looking for house and pet sitting opportunities in Europe
I was very glad to find Cathy as my cat and housesitter for my recent week away. Very organized, pragmatic and self sufficient, Kathy coordinated her schedule to fit mine and had read all my information in advance, making orientation easy and giving us time to get acquainted (including with Chernish!). Cathy was a good communicator and provided great daily photos/videos of Chernish. She had no problems giving his limited medication and I know she spent quality time with Chernish - including monitored outside time too. It was nice that she had a car and an interest in the area as well as French language skills - which put my mind at ease since I knew she would be able to manage anything that came up. As a plus, her background enabled her to help some of my struggling plants! The house was perfectly clean and exactly as I left it when I got back, and while we couldn't see each other in person - due to flight schedules - she left me detailed information upon my return. Thank you for coming across the pond for this sit (as well as several others in France), Cathy!
Lorraine
Dartmouth, Canada
Outgoing Animal Lover
Lorraine and Kevin were excellent pet sitters and I would recommend to anyone considering them to look after their pets and home. We came back to a lovely clean home and a well-cared for pet. Really easy all-round.
Carolyn
Dartmouth, Canada
Responsible Animal Lover and Working Professional
Thanks to Carolyn, our confidence was restored after a rather disappointing first experience. We confirmed the house sit with Carolyn just 3 weeks prior to our vacation as our first sitter had to cancel due to a medical emergency. During our first meeting we felt comfortable with Carolyne, she was professional, pleasant and very forth coming with the possibility she may need to cancel due to a personal situation. Given the short time till our vacation, we decided to confirm with the understanding we had a backup plan if needed. We were so lucky it all worked out, Carolyn was very independent, she had read the welcome package throughly and as such she was very prepared for the visit. She communicated with us as needed ( we didn't expect daily emails) with either questions and or updates and was quick to respond to any of our texts. We returned home late in the evening to a very clean and tidy house and a dog that was happy and well cared for. We would definitely invite Carolyn again and recommend her for house sits without hesitation.
Elaine
Dartmouth, Canada
RETIRED, TRAVELLING COUPLE, ready for home-based pet and property care
Elaine and Bill stayed for 3 weeks and looked after our cat and dog brilliantly. When I arrived back, the house was clean and tidy and they had made up my bed with clean sheets. Their communication throughout the lead up to the stay and during was impeccable. I would be delighted if they were to come again.
Ross
Dartmouth, Canada
Friendly Scottish-Canadian working in Tech, with extensive pet care experience!
Ross was amazing in that he was always responsive and giving us weekly updates about our unreasonably shy and reclusive cat. He made our first experience with Zeewoi a very positive one and we would recommend Ross to anyone looking for professional and courteous service while you're away. Thanks Ross!
Paul
Dartmouth, Canada
Quiet, experienced lover of the outdoors available to lovingly care for your ani
Pablo, from the outset was a breath of fresh air. He respected and cared for our home and 2 dogs for approximately 3weeks. He kept in touch and when we returned we could tell that the dogs had grown extremely fond of him, our home was clean, and our neighbor loved interacting with him. I would glady have him housesit again.
Reviews from Pet Owners
Sheelagh
honeybee was a great sitter for our 3 animals. She communicated very well throughout the sit. Our flight home was delayed and she was great about being able to cover the extra days. Her connection to the animals was wonderful. We were less organized than intended on her arrival due to some unexpected work issues, and she was great about rolling with the changes (e.g. the closet doors were missing as the painter hadn't finished with them). She used public transport to get to Golden and then drove our car while here. She left a few items behind, and her attention to kitchen cleanliness could be better, but we would definitely have her sit our pets again if the opportunity arises.
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.
Robert
Kelly was flawless, she was a fantastic pet sitter and house sitter. She was over communicating with pictures and updates. We were at total peace knowing Kelly was overseeing Leo and Bella. Kelly connected with our dogs perfectly. We loved how Kelly daily took our dogs for walks and even an extended hikes. She has our full and complete recommendation.
Thanh
Monique was very nice and easy to schedule with. She sent us pictures of our dog Maisie while we were away, which we enjoyed seeing. Maisie was well cared for and had gotten plenty of exercise by the time we got home. The house was spotless, which was lovely to come home to! She had taken the trash and recycling bins out, even though we hadn’t mentioned them to her before we left. She made sure to let us know if anything was amiss so there were no surprises when we returned. Would definitely recommend her as a pet and house sitter for others. :)
Jeffrey
Richard was exemplary as a house and pet sitter. He was attentive and thorough with his review of instructions, compliant with requests, provided regular home/pet updates, and maintained our home perfectly. An excellent citizen, mature house sitter and reliable.
Suzanne
Initially, I was very nervous about finding my very first in-home pet sitter who could provide the level of care and attention our 3 beloved fur-kids required. From the moment Emily and Johnny stepped into our home, I knew they were going to be in good hands. Their gentle demeanor and genuine love for animals instantly put our dogs Gypsy & Johnny at ease. Emily and Johnny took the time to understand our pets’ unique personalities and preferences, ensuring that their every need would be met. During our absence, Emily provided us with regular updates and adorable photos. Their detailed communication gave me peace of mind, knowing that my fur babies were in the best possible hands. Upon our return, we were greeted by a happy and contented gang, who clearly had enjoyed their time with Emily and Johnny. Emily and Johnny are more than just pet sitters; they are true companions to our furry family. Their exceptional care, genuine love for animals, and unwavering dedication have earned them a permanent spot in our hearts. Without hesitation, we give Emily and Johnny a 5-star rating and highly recommend their services to anyone seeking trustworthy and loving caregivers for their beloved pets. THANK YOU Emily and Johnny!!! <3
Kim
Early in 2023 I went searching for a sitter to sit with our Lizzie for a month. I found Lori during my search and I am so happy I did. Lori’s reviews are all five star and I can fully attest as to why. Lori was so friendly and kind and I could tell from the moment she met Lizzie that she would take great care of her. I received daily pictures of her and Lizzie snuggling and I couldn’t have been happier knowing my girl was receiving a lot of love. Lori left our home in wonderful shape (probably better than I left it for her). She took great care and was very conscientious of all my plants. We even came home after a very long day of travel to some wonderful chicken soup. Lori will take wonderful care of your home and your precious pet. Do not hesitate to contact her for your pet sitting needs. I already have her booked for 10/2024 so don’t try and get her then!!!😁
Bonnie
Bard and Kim are amazing house sitters and pet care givers. I would recommend them over and over. I wish I could add numbers to the scale. They would get a 10+. Bard and Kim were super easy to work with, efficient, self-sufficient, and considerate. They took immaculate care of my home; it was definitely cleaner after they left! I would recommend them without hesitation over and over.
Lori
Angelica was a wonderful pet sitter for our dog Rosie! She was easy to communicate with before and during the sit (very responsive), and made time to do a walk through of our house/intro to Rosie prior to the sit. She was extremely reliable throughout the process, and left our house really neat. Rosie was happy when we got home! We'd be happy to have Angelica sit for us again and would recommend her to anyone!
Jacob
Amazing experience! Five stars all the way... Nikki was kind enough to watch our two cats Thomas and Toby while were away on our honeymoon. From the very beginning she made us feel comfortable with clear communication and quick replies. Since she was local in Atlanta we got to meet her ahead of time and hand off keys before we left. While we were away she sent pictures of our little buds having fun and being themselves, so we always knew they were ok. She always showed up exactly when she said she would from pickup to dropoff and it was so incredible to know they were in good hands, and we never had to worry. They love being around people so for her to have been able to stay with them and love on them regularly we came home and could immediately tell both Thomas and Toby felt great as they were completely comfortable. Much much different than when we leave even for a few days and have a pet sitter stop by and feed them. She asked all the necessary questions in advance, so she didn't have to email or ask anything while we were away. She even took the time to make sure everything was neat and tidy, prepped the sheets to be changed, and was unbelievably sweet to get us a wedding gift we both love. Nikki we can't thank you enough for taking care of our cats, and we would only be so lucky if you stuck around town! :)
