Chante and Theunis were 5-STAR sitters and have set the bar really high for future sitters. They were absolutely amazing. Firstly our dog China was so calm and well groomed upon our return, which was evident of how well they looked after him. Secondly, they went over and above of what we expected of them to manage our airbnb, which is a clear indication of their beautiful & dedicated characters. Thirdly, they were working remotely from our home and communicated well, keeping us informed of China's well being and were diligent in managing the alarm, which was important to us and which we really appreciated. Chante and Theunis are responsible young professionals who clearly indicated that they can deal with various situations and solve problems practically and easily which enabled us to have a relaxing holiday. Thank you so much!

Charmaine and Tim were wonderful house sitters. They looked after our little old cat with great care and communicated with us regularly with updates about how she was going. They also cleaned our house and washed and changed the linen which made our return from holidays so much easier. We would recommend them very highly to anyone.

Andrea and Philip have been wonderful house and pet sitters and the animals were super happy being left in their care. Andrea was very organised and communicated well in the lead up to the sit and also during our absence on holiday. The dogs warmed to them both on the first night and we left feeling very confident that all would be well while we were away. We received updates during our holiday and returned to find happy and healthy animals. The house had been well looked after and we shared a lovely meal prepared by Andrea on our return. We really appreciate all they have done and the care they have taken with all our menagerie. We can certainly recommend Andrea and Philip as pet/house sitters. Thank you and enjoy the rest of your travels!

A+ sitter. Poor Jasper was unwell during our trip away, but fortunately Amy is a retired vet so knew we were in safe hands! Very grateful (and very, very guilty!) can’t recommend highly enough. G

Heather and Paul are wonderful sitters. They had great communication with us before and during the sit. We returned home to a happy and relaxed dog who had clearly been looked after exceptionally well! Our house was spotless too. They are kind, respectful and lovely people who I would highly recommend for any sit. Thank you Heather and Paul!

This was the third time Melanie has house and pet sat for us but the 1st time through zeewoi.com. She is the perfect doggie grandma! She showered our Labrador boys with love and spoiled them with more attention than they usually get from us. She was happy to do online work from here and to hang out and relax with them as well, and so responsive whenever they wanted to go in and out (and in and out, and in and out, and…). She was very communicative about any concerns about our older pups (8 & 12yo) — upset bellies, when monthly preventative meds were due, a funny spot on the skin, energy levels — and easy to reach even with significantly different time zones. We had just moved into this house and didn’t have everything as put away as we would have liked, and she was fine with managing the boxes and piles. Coming home to happy healthy pets is always a great end to a long trip. I would not hesitate to hire her again in the future.

Janis and her husband Dan were beyond phenomenal! Communication was great leading up to their arrival, especially with coordinating arrival and departure times. And during the sit, I got lots of picture updates throughout of how Isabel was doing. I could tell from the pictures how comfortable and happy my dog was hanging out with Janis and Dan and getting all the pets and attention. Coming home, everything was left so clean and organized. I definitely recommend them as pet sitters as they clearly took such good care of both my pup and my home.

Amanda was the perfect housesitter and pet sitter for our cat. She is organized and communicative, and took care to ensure she understood the guidelines for taking care of our home and our cat. She left our house in perfect condition and we returned home to one happy kitty! Would not hesitate to have Amanda housesit for us again or recommend her to others looking for a sitter.

Lisa and her friend Sara were amazing pet and house sitters! We can't say enough great things about them - our pets were so calm when we returned from our trip and so happy... Lisa and Sara kept in touch with us regularly and sent us beautiful photos of the pets as well. We returned to a spotless home, fresh flowers and a note with polaroids of Soy, Calvin and Chickie! We absolutely loved hosting Lisa and Sara and highly recommend them, they are some of the best sitters we have ever had and they're welcome back anytime!!

Once again, having AnnaMarie take care of our pups was absolutely the right choice!! Her frequent updates, care of our house and fur babies was stellar! Although the dogs were thrilled to see us when we returned, as we chatted with Annemarie, we could see them continuing to go to her for affection and cuddles. It was so sweet to watch our one-year-old lick her ear and Annamarie just giggled and happily tolerated it. What a great sport😎. We would highly recommend her to anyone and would also suggest if you happen to see a less than perfect review for her ( there is only 1)I know the true story... it's unfortunate that some people are so unappreciative of someone who will go out of their way to care for their home and Pets (at no charge🙃🙃)-- it just boggles my mind and am confident they are not being honest!  Suffice it to say she is a gem and perfect sitter in every way- if you can get a chance to book with her- do not hesitate! We truly think of her as part of our family now and all 5 of our pups would agree!

BriAnna was our first pet sitter and we loved her :). She made every step very simple for us, communication was great, Pastis and Anubis seemed to be very happy with her, and the house was very clean when we came back. We highly recommend BriAnna to take care of your pets and we would love to have her back!

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.

We had the pleasure of having Tara as our house sitter while we were away, and we can't praise her enough for the fantastic job she did. Not only did she take excellent care of our home, but she also showed tremendous love and attention to our beloved dogs.

From the moment Tara walked through the door, we could tell she had a genuine passion for animals. She immediately bonded with our dogs, and they seemed completely at ease with her. Throughout our trip, she provided us with regular updates and photos, which truly put our minds at ease knowing our boys were in great hands.

Tara took great care of our home as well. It was evident that she respected our space and coming back home, we found everything just as we left it, if not even better! 

We highly recommend Tara to anyone in need of a reliable, trustworthy, and caring house sitter. Her communication was excellent, and she proved herself to be a responsible and dedicated individual. If you want to ensure your pets and home are in the best hands while you're away, Tara is the perfect choice. 

Thank you, Tara, for taking such incredible care of our dogs and home. You made our trip stress-free, and we're truly grateful.

Angie and her husband Joe were a great fit for our house and pet sitting needs! They kept in communication with us before our vacation started, and were able to arrive a little early so we could walk them through how various systems worked and where controls were located. Our dog bonded with Angie very quickly and I think he was hoping she would stay after we returned home  :) 
We got regular updates and pet photos while we were traveling. Although we were out of cell phone range for several days, we never had a doubt that things at home would be just fine while they were there!
They were also very flexible and understanding. Due to our flight schedule we arrived home in the middle of the night. Angie was able to feed and walk our dog, clean up and leave in the morning without waking us up! The house was left clean, the garden was thriving and our pup was happy. We are happy, and would be happy to have them back again as sitters anytime.

Exceptional Pet Sitters - Highly Recommend Diedre and Keith!

I am thrilled to leave a glowing review for our trusted house and pet sitters, Diedre and Keith. They took exceptional care of our long-haired cat, Molly, and our home during our absence. Everything went incredibly smoothly, and their communication was top-notch. Dierdre and Keith provided regular updates, including delightful pictures of Molly, which put our minds at ease while we were away.

Upon our return, it was evident that Molly had been well cared for and was content. The genuine love and understanding Diedre and Keith have for both dogs and cats was apparent in their interactions with Molly, and it was clear that they had made her feel comfortable and secure in their care. Their friendly and professional demeanor made the entire experience truly enjoyable.

In addition to taking great care of our beloved pet, Diedre and Keith ensured that our home was in excellent condition upon our return. They even went the extra mile by informing us about the leftovers they left in the fridge, which was a thoughtful gesture.

I wholeheartedly recommend Diedre and Keith as exceptional pet and house sitters. Their attentive and caring approach, coupled with their expertise, make them a perfect choice for anyone seeking reliable and trustworthy sitters. Don't hesitate to entrust your home and pets to this fantastic duo!

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.
