ayreAnna and Jakob were wonderful pet sitters for my kitty Oyster. ayreAnna was super communicative and warm before, during, and after the stay. I was away camping without cell service but they handled everything smoothly on their own and left the apartment spotless. I’d happily have them back!

It was easy to have Melinda stay with Nalah while I was out of cell service for a few days. When I came home, I was excited to see that she had found Nalah's cat tunnel (one of her favorite toys), so I know Nalah got plenty of attention and care. Would be happy to have Melinda back again.

If Kathy applies to sit for you, just say YES!! We are lucky to live close enough to Kathy that she arranged to drop by for a meet and greet a few months before the actual sit. We had so much in common and could have chatted for hours! Kathy's communication before, during and after the sit is amazing! You will never wonder how things are going because she will be sending you photos of your happy pets and well cared for home, garden etc. We came home to an immaculate house and happy critters! You can tell how much Kathy enjoys being a zeewoi and she takes great pride in providing the best service. We can only hope that Kathy will come back and sit for us again. Luna, Tom and the hummingbirds all miss her! Thank you, Kathy!!

This was our second time hosting Cathi and David at our home, and we are so delighted once again by their care of our furry and feathery little family and home. They are delightful, conscientious, kind and everything wonderful. We hope to have them sit for us again and again! Eric and I highly recommend Cathi & David!

Sarah and Stan were wonderful. They were kind and loving to our dog, and even did some training with him! They also took great care of the house, and went above and beyond to launder their own towels and sheets and remake our bed. It was really nice to come home to, as our plane got in pretty late. Sarah sent pics and videos, and was super easy to communicate and coordinate with. We highly recommend them!

Richard and Maricela we an absolute Godsend! I thought I was going to miss out on this family trip because I couldn't find a sitter. I reached out to them personally through zeewoi, and they responded promptly, worked out their schedule and made themselves available for the short four day sit. Miss Kitty is 21 years young and requires medication and lots of love and attention. I say she is high maintenance because she is so precious to me and I expect her to get a lot of attention in my absence. They sent daily updates with photos and I could clearly see that she was in good hands. They are both very kind and gentle people, which was very comforting to me. I'm grateful for their commitment and look forward to their return.

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.

Anant was a great sitter and a friendly guy. Kept me up to date re his arrival and with Marie & Toulouse during the sit. Found my house exactly as I had left it. Would highly recommend Anant to other pet parents.

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!!

Not only did our pets enjoy meeting Kelly and Christopher, my husband and I enjoyed meeting them as well!  They are personable and kind, organized and communicative, and most of all excellent pet sitters.  
      Kelly and Chris are attentive housesitters.  They went out of their way to connect with our dogs, especially Smitty, our rescue.  The dogs were walked, brushed, and played with throughout the weeklong sit. They sent pics of how our fur babies were doing and truly seemed to enjoy their time with them.  The peace of mind that comes with great house sitters  who care for your precious pups and the home you love is priceless.  Thank you once again, Kelly and Christopher!  We hope to see you again!

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!

Jacob sat for us during our holiday in March. 
We do not have any pets but we do have garden plants etc to look after. 
Jacob did a fantastic job of looking after the young plants that had arrived by post the day before we went away. He sent us regular updates and photos of how the plants were doing.  
We came home to a very clean and tidy house and thriving plants. 
Jacob did a great job and we have no hesitation in recommending him. If he comes back to the Uk and we require a sitter we will contact him first. 
Well done Jacob.

Toby and we were SO lucky to have Tom be our home and pet sitter for our Thanksgiving Holiday trip!  From the very beginning Tom was responsive and communicative.  He was even able to arrange a "meet and greet" with us and Toby before beginning his stay.  While here Tom took great care of our home, and, most importantly, provided wonderful care of Toby!  When we got home everything was in perfect order and we could tell that even though Toby was happy to see us he was going to miss Tom.  I would be thrilled if we could have Tom as our zeewoi again.  You will be lucky if he can do the same for you. :)

Jennifer was great and I would highly recommend her.  Right from the start, Jennifer was clear and helpful in her communication, and she was very available to us throughout the stay via messaging.  She sent pics of our fur babies regularly - without asking - which always makes us happy when we're away.  And the biggest compliment I can give:  when we came home, our pets were relaxed and happy, and no hidden cat messes to be found (we've had this happen with previous sitters a lot).

I would love to have Jennifer stay at our home again in future.

Judith was one of the most considerate, trustworthy sitters we've ever had. We had to leave in a rush for a family emergency and really didn't have time to prepare the house as we usually do, but Judith took all in stride, leaving the apartment spotless. She sent photos of Baby Boo and Janet on arrival, putting us immediately at ease because it was so obvious the cats were completely comfortable, zero stress, allowing us to relax that they were in such good hands. She sent photos and video every day, which delighted us, confident that they were getting next level care. Judith would take care of anyone's home and pets with as much care as she did at ours, and we highly recommend. Hope she can come back!!
