Eric arrived to the house on time, sent updates proactively and left the house exactly as we left it. He even put the sheets and towels in the laundry without being asked before he left. Would be happy to have him sit for us again!

Jeanne and Robert are truly exceptional. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had them look after everything while we were away. They are among the kindest and most caring people you could ever meet. When our mischievous dogs got into chocolate we’d left out as a welcome gesture (a huge mistake!), one of them fell ill during their stay. Jeanne took it upon herself to provide round-the-clock care for Nugget, even staying up all night to ensure she was okay. Their dedication was remarkable, and we’re so grateful for all their hard work. Robert handled all the mess the dogs created, both inside and outside, ensuring everything was spotless when we returned. All the linens and towels were laundered before we got back too! To top it off, they prepared a delicious soup for our arrival and even hand crafted a thoughtful gift for us and our daughter. Their generosity and thoughtfulness went above and beyond, and we can’t thank them enough for everything they did! I know this was not an easy housesit for them. We are sorry beyond words for everything they had to go through but couldn't be more thankful for more capable and loving hands 💕 THANK YOU AGAIN JEANNE AND ROBERT!!!

I was pleased with Joe. He was a good communicator and took good care of my kitty and my house. All was good when I returned home. I would recommend Joe.

Virginia was excellent, as her previous reviews had demonstrated. We had easy communication before, during and after the sit. She really seemed to "get" Dasha, and she left our house in tip top shape. All was as good as or better than we had left it. She was willing to extend the sit by a couple of days to help us all avoid the Labor Day traffic and that was much appreciated. I would have her back again any time and highly recommend her as a sitter. Thanks, Virginia!

What wonderful luck it was to get Jen’s quick response to my last minute request for help with my old doggie. She was a great communicator, asked all the right questions, and shared fun tidbits and pics while I was gone! Kind and caring - and neat as a pin. Thank you, thank you!!!

Malia and Hope were wonderful. Foxy is very shy but they gained her trust very quickly. We left Friday night and they sent me a video of her rubbing up against them the next morning. They were able to pet her and pick her up and she was very happy! They sent photos on a regular basis. They also watered our plants and brought in our mail. Our house was immaculate when they left. They were a real pleasure and we look forward to having them back.

Elaine was a wonderful warm person who Paddy took to immediately. We had time together before and after the sit and exchanged a lot of knowledge of each other’s country. I came home to a clean and warm home with contented animals and the kettle on. Any pet would be very lucky to have Elaine look after them

Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

My dog loved Elisabeth from the moment he met her and that was really all that mattered to me. She really understood what my dog needed especially since he can be a little reactive and needy at times. He was very well cared for and I hope she’ll come back to stay here again.

Carol and Kevin were five-star housesitters all the way! From the moment I met them, I could see that they would be kind and compassionate towards our aging pups. They took good care of everything, even gave us a ride to the airport. We would gladly have them back anytime!

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!

Jeannette was the absolute best pet sitter anyone could ask for!  She was communicative and easy going.  She took very good care of the house, but most importantly she took superb care of my dog, Bodhi.  She took him on long walks and fun adventures everyday.  While I was out of the country, I received pictures and updates of their "vacation".  I loved seeing Bodhi's and Jeannette's smiles in all the photos.  They definitely bonded. :)  I would highly recommend Jeannette as a pet sitter and also as an excellent person who cares about people, animals, and the planet.

Angie and Joe were fabulous pet/house sitters and overall people! Angie sent daily updates with photos. Really appreciate the extra effort they put into watering the grass and garden.  The house was exactly the same as when I left (including sheets/towel washed, beds made, frig cleaned, dishes put away and trash taken out...). Pretty sure Mia was looking for them the next day as she ran to the guest bedroom.  Already scheduled a second sit!  If you're lucky enough to land them as pet sitter then you're lucky.

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.

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!

Bryan and Dana were the perfect sitters for Cella.  We were delighted that they were able to arrive a day early so that we could enjoy dinner with them and get to know one another.  We would be honored to have them sit again.  On top of their great care they left us a thoughtful friendship gift.  zeewoi continues to be the best site ever.  Not only do we have great pet sitters for Cella, we also have the opportunity to meet great new friends. Thank you!!

Kyle was a great house sitter and pet sitter for us. We had a good dialogue prior to him sitting for us, and we also did a short walkthrough the week before. Kyle formed a great bond with our dog Charlie and also took good care of our rabbit Poppy. A couple of minor issues came up with systems in our home due to an unexpected power outage, and Kyle was quick to connect with us and then was able to work 1:1 with the service providers to resolve the issues. We look forward to working with Kyle again.

Jeremy and Brooke were fantastic!  We have a senior dog and a over hyper pittie. They gave Daisy her meds and had lengthy walks with Fin to burn off some of his energy. Brooke sent me regular texts to show me precious pictures of the pups by the Christmas tree, which warmed my ❤️.   The house looked great when we returned.  They are awesome detailed sitters and will make your pets feel loved and secure!!

Laura was amazing with communication from the very beginning. She sent updates of photos and videos without even being told or asked to do so. She was watching our cat and treated her like her own. Laura was also very responsive when we were trying to find a sitter for our dates and answered any and all questions we had about her experience with pets and house sitting. I would recommend her to anyone! :) and hope we can have her house sit again for us.

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!
