Betsy enjoys being outside and Chewy got lots of walks. Chewy fell in love with her. Betsy did a great job with houseplants and outdoor plants. Betsy is an interesting person and we had nice talks. I feel that not only did she have Chewy's best interests at heart, but we made a new friend.

Kimberly and John were great! They were good communicators before the sit and the house was in great condition when we got home. Most importantly, our cats seemed well taken care of and did not punish us upon our return! Would definitely recommend!

Sabrena was a wish come true! You will never better than to leave your home and beloved pets with someone with her: character to follow directions and do the right thing, medical background to keep your pets healthy, shining personality to keep your pets having fun, and drive and perseverance to advance with her studies in her career. Sabrena is a gem of a human. She stayed 4 1/2 weeks and kept us up to date on any issues with our home and pets. We did have some scheduled workers come through and she always accommodated them. She was even flexible when we wanted to extend our stay which ended up a huge blessing for us. She enjoyed our backyard daily, lived like a local, passed her exams (GO Sabrena!!) and we became friends. Just what the heart of zeewoi is all about. Get her for your next sit!

This particular sit was cancelled, due to my change in travel plans. However, Michael and his wife were wonderful sitters previously and I definitely recommend them.

Very lovely people! Communicative and willing to adapt their schedule to ensure my cat kept his daily routine. The house was spotless when I returned. Will likely ask if they want to sit again soon!

Lynn was highly communicative. She adhered to all the instructions I provided, and the house was left as if she had never stayed there. Overall, a great house guest.

This was a tough review to write, but needed. I have had over dozen sits so far on this website so I have become accustomed to (and expect) responsive and communicative sitters. First, Richard and Sharon arrived 2 hours after their stated time (which was even later than what we had originally agreed upon weeks prior). As a consequence, my son was unable to show them the eye care for his cat and so I had to do it. This caused me to be an hour late for my shift. Second, they didn’t read the manual ahead of time. I spent a lot of time making it (and revising it over the last couple of years) and I emailed it way ahead of time with accompanying photos. It was annoying to have to show them where everything was in the house as this could have been avoided had they actually opened their emails from me prior to the sit. Third, they don’t know how to use a mobile phone very well and did not download the recommended app necessary to find the cats if they went hiding (TILE). No other sitter has had this issue- it’s super easy. Fourth, I did not get any updates from them without specifically prompting them and no photos of the pets, at all, for the entire week they were staying. Finally, they went to the beach and got sand on the tables and didn’t clean them- so my son unwittingly placed his laptop computer on the coffee table and scratched up the bottom. All in all, they are very nice, but I am pretty disappointed about this sit.

It was a pleasure to have Elena caring for my Bailey and home. She was very attentive to everything that was happening and kept me informed. Bailey was on a medication schedule for an ear infection, and she made sure that she applied the medication as instructed in the prescription. Elena was very flexible with her schedule on my return trip. Due to the severe weather in the Dallas area, my flight was canceled and she was very accommodating and understanding. Elena left my house just as I expected. Everything clean and organized. Thank you Elena for everything and you are welcome back anytime!

We feel like we’ve won the pet and house sitter lotto with Scott. 
Most importantly, he’s taken great care of our much loved little dog, giving him a lot of care, affection and attention.
He paid close attention when Tingsha began scratching (allergy to an insect bite) which needed vet care, with great communication with us. 
He even took Tingsha to his agility school class each week (great fun had by all) and to get a groom. We’ve come home to a contented and very happy dog. 
The house is spotless, cleaner than we left it, with fresh flowers and the bed all made up. Perfect! 
We had regular contact with Scott all through our five week trip and being “fellow travellers” (in all senses) enjoyed sharing lots of local travel tips and experiences as we each visited new parts of the world. 
We were happy to lend Scott our car and he’s been great with it, super responsible. 
Scott is a really terrific guy and a fabulous journalist and story teller (you must listen to his podcast about his travels, it’s a cracker). 
In sharing our home and trusting our beloved dog with him, we feel like we’ve made a new friend along the way. 
We recommend Scott without any hesitation and thank him for a wonderful experience, we’d love him to come back and see us, anytime. Thanks a bunch!

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.

Natalie and Christian were dream pet sitters while we were out of the country for 2.5 weeks. From start to finish, they were reliable and professional, with excellent communication. They had took great care of our dog and chickens and left the house and car in great shape. Plus, they’re just a really sweet young couple. We’d highly recommend them as house sitters.

Meg was a dream pet sitter for my three year old labradoodle. She gave him nice long walks and was very organized, communicative and tidy. I look forward to another opportunity to have Meg in my home!

Sharon was a fantastic sitter for our week away! She left the house as tidy and clean as we left it, including changing the sheets for our arrival. I truly cannot even tell she was here and that made coming home after a long travel day so much easier.

She was communicative every step of the way and provided daily updates on our cat with photos. We knew our home and pet were in good hands! I would gladly welcome Sharon back any time should we be so lucky : )

Tom provided a last minute sit when my 2 week long trip got extended to the 3rd. The previous zeewoi sitter was no longer available for the 3rd week, and Tom came in as a savior. As requested, he started his sit a day prior to the posted dates (thank you for being flexible). He met the prior zeewoi in person, since I was not in town, and got to know the house and cats quickly. He sent pictures of the cats each day and added a note about their well being. He was independent and was able to figure out how to use the litter genie on his own. I returned to a clean home and healthy happy cats. Would love to have Tom return and recommend him to anyone leaving their pets in his care.

Erin was a great pet sitter who took such good care of little Chino. She was very reliable, kept us up to date with videos/pictures, looked after our home and kept it neat and tidy. She even left a thoughtful gift upon our return and was flexible with our travel plans. We would definitely recommend Erin for anyone looking for a reliable and friendly pet sitter!

Sharon was by far the best sitter I’ve ever had! From the very first time we connected, she was communicative and proactive with follow up. She asked great questions prior to her stay and I could tell she’s done this many times and that she genuinely cares about the pets and homes she cares for. Sharon went above and beyond to leave my house in ever better shape, cleaning and organizing. It was a dream to come home to! Thank you Sharon!

I have had 4 pet sitters this year so far.  And Liz was the best!  She was wonderful with cats.  She has an easy going manner and is very comfortable to be around.  Very smart and she is a great communicator. She followed all directions and left the house spotless.  I highly, highly, highly recommend her!  I would have her again anytime!

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! :)
