Meredith
Elmira, New York
I speak kitty!
Meredith has sat for me multiple times now, and every time is perfect. She communicates well, takes great care of the dog, and leaves the house impeccable. I highly recommend Meredith!
Catherine
Elmira, New York
Young (at Heart) Grandparents
Catherine and Jim are the most wonderful people, who efficiently moved in and provided loving care & fun outings, for both Jax and Jorja. We went overseas and cell coverage was spotty at best, but I always got a lovely photos & updates. My fur babies were so happy to see us return but so happy with Catherine & Jim. If you get the opportunity to choose them, please do so - you won’t regret it. They are special people, who embody what zeewoi are all about.
Brittany
Elmira, New York
Remote Working Animal Lover
As a first time user to the app and a generally anxious person- our first housesit was causing me quite a bit of nerves- which all faded the moment I “met” Brittany over a FaceTime call. Her friendly demeanor, experience with animals and openness immediately eased my mind. Brittany is flexible, easy to communicate with and quick to respond to messages. She was instantly friends with our sometimes grumpy elderly dog, and our young dog was thrilled to have a playmate in her little dog, Nala. Our old house has some quirks, and the pool has maintenance all of which she took on without batting an eye. We received updates and pictures over our two week trip and returned to an absolutely spotless house, complete with freshly laundered linens and bath mats. Our animals were calm, relaxed and happy. We would be thrilled to host Brittany again and anyone who has the opportunity to have her house sit for them should consider themselves hugely blessed!
Marcella
Elmira, New York
Respect and care for your home and pets
Marcella was a very caring, dependable and reliable house sitter. She has great communication skills and is very organized. She went above and beyond in her care of our two cats. We would be happy to welcome her back to our home at any time in the future to care for our cats or just to stop in for a visit. Thank you Marcela.

Animals and Travel: An Empty-Nester's Duo Made in Heaven!
I could not have asked for a better sitter! My dog, Hank, has been looking disappointed with me ever since Lisa left and I returned. She clearly took amazing care of him and spent tons of time with him. He's a recent rescue and, I think, a sensitive soul, so the gentle attention and care she gave to him meant the world. She also took terrific care of the house, leaving it immaculate and the plants thriving. Highly recommend!
Patricia
Elmira, New York
Happy, mature, professional with home, pet and garden care experience
Unbelievably great experience. I'd award 10 stars not just 5!! I can't speak highly enough of Pat! She amazing from the get go - it was our first time with a house sitter and so we zoomed with Pat soon after agreeing dates and she really put us at ease. Pat reassured us with proof of her flight and trip details and then we kept in touch via Whatsapp. Pat came to stay with us a couple of days before we left and was absolutely brilliant with our dog Bagel. She was literally like a dog whisperer!! ;-) Just the loveliest most thoughtful person, but also relaxed and with a great sense of humour too! We didn't worry once about being away and Pat kept in touch regularly. We came back to the cleanest house I have ever seen!! (Pat had even planted a rose bush for us which had arrived as a gift just before we left!!) Just a brilliant experience from beginning to end. Thank you so so so so so much Pat!! We will keep in touch for sure and hope that one day she will return to us (fingers crossed!) xxxx Gill & Chris & Baggy Bagel xxxx
Angela
Elmira, New York
Animal Rescuer & Rehabilitator | Experienced Petsitter | Barn Manager
We were delighted with Angela. She was a great dog sitters and I think the dogs didn't care that we came home because she gave them lots of attention. The house was in good order and she made sure packages were picked up from the doorstep. Dog doo in the yard was picked up when we arrived home and the house was neat and tidy. She made herself at home--that's what we wanted and she enjoyed getting to know her.
Bill
Elmira, New York
Reliable to the Point of Boring
Bill and Sandy are awesome catsitters, housewatchers, and most importantly, people. Ernie took his normal two days to decide they were ok (I think that's how long it takes him to give up on me ever returning), and after that, he was literally eating out of the palm of their hands. And once you are cat-approved, you're golden. My house was spotless when I arrived (by pre-arrangement, they left around one hour before I got back home). Everything was where it belonged, and the place was clean. Before and during the sit, their communication was on-point. They arrived when they said they would, had already done some research of the area, and let me show them around a bit. If our schedules ever line up and they apply another time to watch the little guy, I would simply confirm the dates, accept them, and write 'thanks, but this sit is taken' notes to the other applicants. If they apply for one of your sits, you would be well-served to do the same.
Aurora
Elmira, New York
traveling, very clean and respectful. love animals!
Aurora was super pleasant and very flexible. She took great care of our pups and left the house tidy. Thank you so much!
Merry Leigh
Elmira, New York
Mature animal lover ready to take care of your home and pets while you are away.
We were fortunate to welcome Merry to our home and to care for our dog Otie. She spent time with us ahead of our sit date to understand the operation of our very old house. I gave her a detailed written log that she followed. The house (as well as our dog) were found in great shape after two weeks. I can readily recommend her.
Reviews from Pet Owners
Andrea
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!
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 & Rebecca
Angela did a great job caring for Willie for 10 days while we were out of town. She was easy to communicate with and kept us informed about Willie, along with sending photos of him out on walks and at the beach. Angela was very accomodating when we needed to come home a day early - Thank you! The house was left in good shape and it's clear that Angela is organized and reliable and clearly loves her pet charges. I'd recommend Angela and will definitely include her as one of our top sitter choices in the future! Thanks again, Angela!
Jess
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!
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!
Megan
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!
Abhishek
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!
Kerry
Jessica was an awesome pet sitter for my cat Fifi. She texted photos and updates everyday so I knew that Fifi was being well cared for. She was communicative and asked a lot of good questions to make sure she understood Fifi's needs. My home was equally as clean (if not more so) upon my return. I would highly recommend Jessica!
Wanda
What an amazing couple we had as pet sitters for our two dogs!
You can truly feel their love for animals.
Nancy sent pictures a couple of times letting us know that they were having fun also with our Cody and Carson!
Our home was perfect when we got home. They even left a beautiful potted flower and card on our island in our kitchen.
We highly recommend this couple!
