David and Erin were fantastic zeewoi and have given us even more confidence about the company. They were super friendly and organised and gave us lots of feedback of our girls during their stay. Our house was left immaculate with all linens washed and ready to be used again. So helpful and considerate following a holiday! We would definitely have them stay again.

Tegan and Jacob were INCREDIBLE. Less than a week before we left Ernest with them for two nights, Ernest had to have emergency surgery. Afterwards, Ernest was taking three medications, twice a day, and had to be kept trapped in our bathroom, so that he didn't move too much or jump on anything. I was very worried and considered cancelling my work trip. How could a stranger be trusted to keep an eye on him, give him his medications on time, spend time with him in a bathroom?? But Tegan and Jacob came to the RESCUE! They immediately inspired confidence so I felt like I could go without guilt. And then they delivered. They literally sat with their laptops on the bathroom floor so Ernest could sit next to them and not be lonely. They handled his multiple meds and reported twice a day with photos as to how he was doing. They kept an eye on his surgical site and reported on his urine. They left us a two-page handwritten note with all the details about his condition along with freshly baked cookies - just because. They even cleaned up the flies that were starting to accumulate in the bathroom because of the food we were leaving out for Ernest there. I am stunned by their commitment and kindness. Ernest has been much less anxious about being trapped in the bathroom, I think because he no longer associates it with isolation and loneliness. My husband and I are left to wonder whether we should have gone away longer 😅 Anyway, I can go on and on, but they were absolutely the right people to find at the right time, and we (and Ernest) feel very fortunate to have had them here. Strong strong recommend!!

Heather and Tim were fantastic. We came home to a very happy dog! We weren't worried about Ada while we were away as we got lots of updates. Also came back to a tidy flat which was lovely after a long flight. Throughout the whole process Heather and Tim were on their game. They had great questions during the interview and made us comfortable booking them so far in advance. They maintained contact coming up to the visit. We were never worried about Ada while away as we got lots of updates - when she got sick they kept us updated and her well looked after. Very friendly and easy to chat to! Thank you so much and welcome back any time!!

We can't thank Sarah enough for providing us with peace of mind and such great care of our home and pets. We would you use her again in a heartbeat! Everything went smoothly from the beginning, with great communication and quick responses. We felt our fur family and home were in very capable hands, and this contributed to us being able to relax and enjoy our family vacation. Thank you so much to Sarah and also Melinda for everything.

Claire was a fabulous pet sitter. I absolutely loved having her to stay in our flat and look after Bundle. We feel very lucky to have crossed paths with her. She even did my washing which was totally unnecessary but kind and I was very grateful to have it done when I returned home! Thanks Claire.. please come again!

Trudie and Bill looked after Pip for 5 days and were very attentive to his needs. They have a senior dog so realised the extra work involved. They were very easy guests and gave Pip all the attention he needs in his old age. Many thanks to you both, we’d love to have you back again,

Alex contacted us early about travel plans and house questions because she wanted everything to go smoothly for us all, and her communication was great before and during the sit. We were so glad to meet her in person before and after the sit, as she is warm and friendly and we felt totally confident at once that she would be a super sitter. She went above and beyond in preparing the house for our return, even leaving food and wine for us, which was not at all expected and was so kind. Riley enjoyed having her here, and we would welcome her back any time. We totally recommend her as a sitter on all levels.

Leslie consistently demonstrated outstanding communication skills, both initially and throughout the entire process, and I would gladly give her more stars if possible.

Leslie arrived as scheduled, and instantly the animals fell in love with her and Bennie.  Our cats love our dogs but usually won't come in the house when a strange dog is here but they didnt even hesitate to come meet Bennie.  Bennie was very calm and a true gentleman.

Leslie sent pictures throughout the sit reassuring us the gang were all getting along and enjoying her and Bennie's company.  She read through the welcome guide before we left as well as we showed her around. It was very nice getting the chance to know her a bit before we ledt the following morning.  We felt very comfortable knowing our home and pets were in good hands.

It is very apparent when you meet Leslie that she truly does love animals.  When our Molly decided to hide, Leslie called us right away because she feared Molly may have gotten spooked by a firework going off in the neighborhood and escaped under the gate. I felt so bad for Leslie because she blamed herself because it was on her watch. I have trackers on all my pets and it turned out that Molly was still in the house and just hiding really well. She can curl up.pretty small.  Lealie took our Lab to check the walking route and see if Molly was there.  When I called and told her Molly had to be at the house because her tracker showed her there, she returned to our home and Molly hreeted her as she came in the front door.  I was very appreciative of Leslie's phone call though because she didnt wait hours to call, she searched the yard and house and called right away.  

We decided to cut our trip short a day and asked Leslie if she minded if we came home a day early.  We let her know we didnt expect her to leave early and made sure she was comfortable with our decision.  As a pet parent, it is imperative that we remember the sitters are also on vacation and we didnt want to intrude on her time.  As it turned out, we ended up stopping by the ER on our way home where my husband was diagnosed with a brain aneurysm.  Unfortunately we had both the RV and my car and I needed to figure out how to get them home. I reached out to Leslie who offerred to give me a ride back to the hospital after I dropped o e vehicle off at home so I could retrieve the second vehicle.  BTW, the surgeon was able to repair my hubbys aneurysm and he will be coming home soon.  Leslie was a comfort during this frightening time and even stayed an extra day to help out and care for our home and pets.  She was a teue blessing.

Leslie left the house spotless along with so.e fresh flowers for me when I got back from visiting my husband.  If you get an opportunity to host Leslie in your home, rest assured your home and pets will be well loved and well taken care of.  We.would welcome.Leslie back anytime.  She is not just a pet sitter, she is a new trusted friend.

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!

Angelica was a wonderful pet sitter for our dog Rosie! She was easy to communicate with before and during the sit (very responsive), and made time to do a walk through of our house/intro to Rosie prior to the sit. She was extremely reliable throughout the process, and left our house really neat. Rosie was happy when we got home! We'd be happy to have Angelica sit for us again and would recommend her to anyone!

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.

I could not have asked for a better first time sitter experience! Terry & Vinnie were absolutely wonderful people. They took stellar care of my beloved pets and my home. Their communication with me was enough that I felt perfectly at ease during my time away and in turn, they were super responsive if I contacted them. My pets were relaxed and happy when I returned!

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!

What an amazing couple we had as pet sitters for our two dogs!
You can truly feel their love for animals.  
Nancy sent pictures a couple of times letting us know that they were having fun also with our Cody and Carson!
Our home was perfect when we got home.  They even left a beautiful potted flower and card on our island in our kitchen.
We highly recommend this couple!

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!

Amazing experience! Five stars all the way...

Nikki was kind enough to watch our two cats Thomas and Toby while were away on our honeymoon. From the very beginning she made us feel comfortable with clear communication and quick replies. Since she was local in Atlanta we got to meet her ahead of time and hand off keys before we left. While we were away she sent pictures of our little buds having fun and being themselves, so we always knew they were ok. She always showed up exactly when she said she would from pickup to dropoff and it was so incredible to know they were in good hands, and we never had to worry. They love being around people so for her to have been able to stay with them and love on them regularly we came home and could immediately tell both Thomas and Toby felt great as they were completely comfortable. Much much different than when we leave even for a few days and have a pet sitter stop by and feed them. She asked all the necessary questions in advance, so she didn't have to email or ask anything while we were away.

She even took the time to make sure everything was neat and tidy, prepped the sheets to be changed, and was unbelievably sweet to get us a wedding gift we both love. 

Nikki we can't thank you enough for taking care of our cats, and we would only be so lucky if you stuck around town! :)
