Couldn’t give higher praise for Jose. Very reliable, self-sufficient, kind communication. Felt confident in him from beginning to end. And he left my home as clean and tidy as it can be. Thank you so much, Jose!! You are a golden member of this zeewoi community

Animal lover with experience sitting for dogs, cats, horses, fish and chickens.
Scott is a dream. Not only did he take great care of our cats and bearded dragon, but he was respectful, responsive, and extremely responsible. He even unboxed some perishables that arrived in the mail and put them in the fridge, as well as washing the sheets and making the bed up for us after his stay. Couldn't recommend him more highly.

Active, semi-retired couple, great with animals and handy around the house.
Natalie and Jay were great pet sitters. Left the place perfect and I would welcome them back any time. Thank you Jay and Natalie!

Kind, reliable couple place your pets' needs and home care first.
Selena and Josh were great pet sitters. They asked to FaceTime before traveling here to ask/answer questions and came to my house the day before I left to see everything. They asked good questions that made me feel like they were going to be good caregivers. They gave me daily updates and pictures. I would happily have them sit again!

Mitch took great care of our dog, Willow, and home. He was flexible and communicative, sending photos and updates. We returned to a clean home and happy dog. We would happily have him stay in our home again.

Experienced pet sitter and mother of 3 ready to help!
Kelly did a great job as a house sitter. I could tell when she met our kitties that she would make them both very comfortable and give them lots of love. It was good to know they were in caring hands while we were away. Kelly left the house clean and everything in order. We would be happy to work with her again.

Tidy travelers with ample experience caring for animals, big and small!
Dakota was everything we hoped she would be as a pet sitter. She is very experienced with the zeewoi expectations and fulfilled them all. We have a neighborhood park where many families walk their pets each day. Our three dogs are well-known in the neighborhood. Numerous neighbors commented to us about how friendly, knowledgeable and loving Dakota was with our dogs. We got a couple pictures of the dogs enjoying their walks and park time. The dogs were not stressed when we returned and greeted us warmly. The house was clean and neat. Dakota even washed the sheets on the bed and remade it for us. In every possible way, we are very pleased with Dakota as our house sitter. We hope she will want to return to stay with our fur balls during our travels in the future.

Will take exceptional care of your pets and home!
We loved Camilla and Ron! They did a fantastic job. They took excellent care of our home and pets. While we were away on our trips, we knew we did not have to worry about our pets and home. We would gladly welcome them back to our home. The best part is that they are now our friends.

Responsible, experienced, & mature (40 yo) couple ready to care for your pets!
We had agreed to this pet sit months prior to their arrival. It was a 6 week stay. Jenny and Drew arrived less than 12 hours prior to my departure. I picked them up at the airport and took them to lunch at a seaside restaurant. I was so surprised that Jenny had not even read the "home owners manual" that this website provides. I sent the information a good month prior to their arrival. They were not prepared in my opinion or took the house sit very seriously. Nevertheless I had confidence in their abilities after spending time with them. When we arrived at the home I introduced them to my 2 doggies and got them acquainted with the home and area.. Upon my return (6 weeks later) there was missing food in the freezer, missing towels, and some broken items. The dogs seemed very happy and content and Jenny would let me know from time to time that the pets were fine. All in all they were good but I was disappointed in their lack of preparedness and the missing and broken items. I spoke to Jenny prior to writing this review in order to understand what took place while I was away. I was not completely satisfied with her replies. Most importantly my home and dogs were safe and sound. So I'm satisfied.
Claire's performance as a house sitter surpassed all expectations, making her an absolute gem in the world of home and pet care. She demonstrated exceptional courtesy and communicated with remarkable clarity and promptness, keeping me informed every step of the way. Punctuality and reliability are hallmarks of Claire's service. She arrived exactly when promised and was fully prepared to manage all the responsibilities we discussed. Her proactive approach and diligent attention to detail provided immense peace of mind. Not only did Claire take impeccable care of my home, but his affectionate and attentive handling of my beloved pup, Modi, was truly heartwarming. Her updates and thoughtful notes about Modi's well-being were incredibly reassuring, making me feel connected even when I was away. Clair's meticulous care extended beyond the basics. She went above and beyond, ensuring that every aspect of my home was looked after with the utmost respect and consideration. From watering plants to maintaining cleanliness, her efforts were nothing short of extraordinary. I wholeheartedly endorse Claire for anyone seeking a trustworthy and dedicated house sitter. I look forward to having her back and cannot recommend her highly enough. A solid 5-star rating is an understatement for the exceptional service she provides!
Alyssa was a very organized and caring pet sitter. This was our longest house sitter stay and she took excellent care of our home and two sweet and bossy Frenchies. I liked her communication to touch base the week before and how she initiated a shared photo album. We prefer not to get bombarded with daily text message photos and updates. She came up with a connected solution and touched base throughout her stay keeping us informed and sharing photos without a push. She even shared some travel gems about our destination as she is also a curious traveler and enjoys exploring outdoors. We would be happy to use her again.
Hanna did an excellent job sitting Molly, Eddie, Jasper, and Miley. She communicated well, took notes on our initial meet and greet. She went out of her way to help us get the dogs to a kennel when we experienced a family emergency and could not extend her sit due to work commitments. The dogs loved her and the shy kitties came out of greet her mid stay. She left our home immaculate and well cared for. She is truly a winning pet sitter in our eyes! We hope she can come again sometime.
Laura was an exceptional, reliable, and loving sitter for our goldendoodle Scout, and took such good care of our home! Scout was excited to meet Laura immediately when she arrived at our home for this sit, and showered Laura with all the hugs and kisses. Scout has recently been having issues with seizures, so for this sit I was specifically looking for a sitter who had a depth of experience with giving medication and responding calmly in the event of an emergency. It was a big relief to be able to entrust Scout to Laura's capable and kind hands, and it was extra special that Laura's beloved vizsla had shared the same name. Laura is wonderfully easy to communicate and coordinate with, and was thorough in her care of our home. We came back to our garden looking great, house left in even better shape than I left it to Laura, and a very happy Scout! I cannot overstate how much we appreciated Laura's care for Scout and our home, and heartily recommend her as a pet and house sitter. If you're lucky enough to get on Laura's schedule, your pups will be with the most wonderful stand-in dog mom you could have hoped for!
We've had many pet sitters over the years (this is our first time using this app) and Missy is the best sitter we've ever had for our dog and cats. Our pets, particularly our dog, adored her and was really sad to see her go. It is obvious she loves animals and immediately understood the pack dynamics and the pet personalities. She kept the house tidy, litter box clean, and the animals so well loved. Because she was traveling from far away, she stayed with us the night before our trip and the night we came back. It was a pleasure to get to know her. We would welcome her back to our house as a friend or a sitter anytime. Highly recommend!
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!
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.
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!
Farhan is a fantastic house sitter! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a down-to-earth, kind, and caring pet sitter for their home. We have three small dogs (around 6 lbs) and he took excellent care of them. They can be a little nervous/ timid around new people, and more so around men at times, but the dogs didn't show any of that nervousness around Farhan! He was gentle and respectful of their space and they warmed up to him immediately. I got a wonderful text the first morning that I was away that they cuddled up with him at night - showing how quickly they adjusted to him as their caretaker. I was able to meet Farhan in person before I left on my trip and I was able to have a wonderful conversation with an ambitious explorer. He is a delightful person. Upon my homecoming the house was very clean and the dogs were happy and relaxed. I can't ask for anything more! Thank you Farhan for taking such wonderful care of our three dogs and our home.
Gowri was very patient and caring with Irisi who got sick the day before I left. I cannot commend her enough for how she rose to the occasion and took care of my baby. She even pick up meds from the vet. My cat, Squinty, was very comfortable with her to jump in bed and wake her up early in the morning (as he would with me). I am not aware of him doing that to other sitters that have stayed at my place. I would give her 6 stars for Pet care if I can! She updated me with Irisi's condition which really help ease my mind, knowing someone looking after my furry really cared. I would certainly have her back again!

Maura is genuinely the kindest and most flexible dog lover I've ever met. She has taken my 5 year old German Shepherd, who has never gotten along with other dogs, and given her plenty of new dog friends and a new ability to make dog friends. She has been available on incredibly short notice and will work with your dog's schedule and routine. Her pricing is SUPER REASONABLE. I am moving to Los Angeles and I only hope I can find someone like her there. I highly recommend her to hang with your dog when you're unable.
Maura was absolutely amazing with our dog! Our chihuahua is a rescue with many behavioral and social issues that kennels would refuse her outright. Maura was so patient and kind to our special dog and even helped her grow in confidence and ability. With continual updates and photos of her progress, I felt very confident and trusted Maura wholeheartedly with no worries at all. Would definitely recommend her services and expertise!
Maura was so kind and helpful when we consulted her to help us with a puppy. She is very knowledgeable and flexible and made us feel comfortable right away. Would highly recommend her services!
Maura has taken care of my dog many times and always treats him like one of her own. He always tries to sneak out the door when people aren't paying attention so she keeps an extra close eye on him. He's sometimes a fussy eater and she will mix some warm broth in with his food to get him to eat while we are away. Maura and her business have been lifesavers!! Great price for a great service!
Maura is amazing. A true professional. She has a passion for what she does and it's evident from the start. Maura doesn't just watch your pets, she gives them her full attention and care. She loves what she does and it shows immensely! If your looking for someone you can trust to care for your four legged family members look no further than Maura.
We were looking for someone to check in on our cat over christmas break on very short notice, but Maura was really accommodating! Friendly and reliable service, plus when we returned early with no notice, she was willing to drop what she was doing to bring us our keys.
Maura was such a sweetheart with my cat. :) Shes Sh trustworthy and she is very kind. I love that she sends updates about our cat when she comes in. It makes us feel at home ❤️
Can’t say enough good things!! Dax is a 90 lb lab who gets a little too playful at the park sometimes. Maura knows just what to do and knows how to keep him calm! She was even teaching him how to fetch! Recommended to anyone who wants a walker/dog sitter who treats your dog like her own!
We're grateful for the expert, compassionate care from Pet Friends Pet Care. Bonus: learned some new tactics for walks with our big puppy!
Great service! Maura went above & beyond with our pooch and on short notice. Thank you!!
