Melanie and Chris are absolutely amazing! This was our first experience with zeewoi and our first time leaving our adopted senior cat for a few weeks. Melanie and Chris went above and beyond what we expected both before and during their stay. They sent us pictures and updates and left the house spotless! We can’t recommend them enough.

Gerome and her partner Alse C were absolutely amazing! While I was away my cat Frank got a cut on his ear and they lovingly cared for him, took him to the vet, tended his wound, and made sure he could eat enough while wearing his neck cone. They went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and improving. They also left my house spotless! They are wonderful to communicate with and truly care for animals. I couldn't recommend them higher!

Celeste was an amazing guest who treated our home with care and respect. She took Guapo on his daily walks, played with him, and made sure he was happy and well-exercised. She left our home even better than she found it, followed all our instructions perfectly, and adapted easily to last-minute changes. Celeste is welcome back anytime to dogsit Guapo. Two paws up!

We returned home from our short break to 3 happy, tail wagging, relaxed and playful dogs and a clean house. They clearly had been quite content whilst we were away. Jo is a very nice man. Calm with the dogs. Very flexible when travel arrangements changed. Easy to get along with. All was good!

Laura and her two sons took EXCELLENT care of Magnus over the Labor Day weekend. She left the house in great condition and we could tell Magnus had been well loved and cared for. He even slept in bed with her which is a HUGE deal for a “skeptical of everything” type of doggy. That clearly shows how much he trusted her and her family. We were so happy that she and her boys spent their time with him, loved all the photo pupdates she sent and recommend her and her family highly to any potential sits.

Marybeth was the loveliest sitter and cared for the kits so well over the weekend. She was so communicative and easy to organise everything with to set everything up, and kept us updated with when she was arriving. While we were away, we got regular updates with photos of the cats showing them in their usual spots and looking perfectly at home. They were so relaxed and at ease they even treated Marybeth to a present (!) - which she was incredibly gracious about (we’re so sorry- they don’t usually with guests!!). We’d definitely recommend her as a sitter for your home and pets ☺️

She is always caring and responsive, and has been there for us and our dogs even through emergency situations. Our dogs love her so much! Thank you again Terri!

Rachel was terrific! From our first email exchange Rachel was reliable, friendly, and incredibly competent. We had no worries leaving our 3!!!! dogs at home in our apartment in Manhattan while we travelled in France. We can’t recommend Rachel highly enough.

Louis and Natalia were great. Louis checked in with me every few days with pictures and updates. He took Roux to a park daily to play fetch. I was able to meet Louis and Natalia prior to the sit and was very comfortable with both of them and knew Roux was in good hands. Louis also took good care of my many potted plants which I know was a lot of work. I would strongly recommend Louis and Natalia to others.

I felt that my dogs were in good hands with Billy & Cherice - both pups seemed happy and well cared for when I returned from my 3-week trip. My home was also clean and tidy. This was my first experience using an unknown sitter and I felt nervous to leave my dogs for so long while traveling abroad. If they were to stay again I would request more regular photo updates, but otherwise was very happy with Billy and Cherice's pet and home care.

Kelly was a wonderful pet sitter and house sitter!  Our dog Cooper adored her. She sent us pictures several times a day and he was always snuggling with her. She kept in touch with us regularly. We have never left our baby before and we were anxious about it but we ended up feeling totally comfortable with Cooper in Kelly’s care. She also kept our potted plants alive during a heat wave and took great care of the house. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Samantha and Scott are great sitters and we enjoyed hearing from them a couple of times while we were away.
Our pets were very relaxed and happy too! Very happy to recommend them.

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.

Lindsay and Bryce provided excellent care to our two cats while we were gone. They are great communicators, took amazing care of our apartment and send regular updates and photos so that we knew all was going well. We would absolutely recommend them as responsible and thoughtful pet sitters who can be entrusted with the care of your home and pets.

Rachel was an excellent pet sitter for my cat. She was a good communicator and also kept my place very tidy. She even left me a gift of a bar of chocolate upon her departure! Highly recommend.

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.

Melissa did an AWESOME job with our 4 pets!  Her personal style and communication via text, video, and pics were stellar and super comforting while we were out of town for 2 weeks.  She showed up before the sit to go over instructions for the pet care and was even here when we returned (before she left for her next engagement).  You would never know this was her first TH sit.  She quickly earned our trust, asked for clarification when needed, and overall is just a GREAT PERSON!!  Her kindness showed through in the care of each and every one of our furry babies.  She will be a great sitter for others and is looking to travel across and see more of the US while remote working.  We have adopted her into our family and she is welcome in our home anytime.  Our whole family hopes to see her again-either for a visit and/or for a sit :)     Thank you, Thank you, Melissa!!!

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!!

Shella was a great house sitter and I had no concerns leaving her in charge when we went away.  She kept in touch while we were away and we returned to happy pets and a tidy house.  What more can you ask?!  I would be more than happy to welcome Shella back to house sit another time.
