Rose is dependable, reliable, self sufficient and tidy. My dog Cadey takes several medications and I had no worries that she was getting them. She sent photos every couple of days which is reassuring. I had total confidence that my cat and dog were being loved and tended to. Coming home was a breeze as I was wiped out and the bedding and towels were freshly washed. I can highly recommend Rose. You won’t be disappointed. Ps Rose had left a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a card to thank me for my hospitality.

Aaron is wonderful and we are so happy he accepted a second stay with our cats. They love him and he takes such great care with them. He communicated well with us while we were away and has a good eye for adorable cat pics. He's gotten to know our neighbors and town over his two stays with us and he is well liked and respected. He goes out of his way to learn the intricacies of the cats and the house and took such great care of both. We hope Aaron will stay again when we travel in the future. He is simply fantastic.

Jolene is a fantastic sitter! She followed directions perfectly, which helped Finnley transition with little stress. Jolene was our first sitter on this site and we are very impressed with the quality of care that she dotted on our pup. She is able to handle a rather dominant dog with ease. It was very easy communicating with her and letting us know how Finnley is doing while we were away. I was also impressed with how self-sufficient she is. She did not need help getting around and is a very travel savy. I would recommend her for sure!

It was a joy to meet Kelley and share our home with her! We are appreciative of the pictures and message she shared with us while we were away from home. She left the house tidy and the dogs well cared for! Especially appreciate the care for our puppy that can certainly be a lot more work than older dogs.

Gayle graciously volunteered to sit for Karma overnight. We didn't have the chance to meet in-person, but she let me know as soon as she arrived (I was on a plane). Gayle was very communicative during the two days, sending lots of pics, which I had requested. When I returned, my apartment was spic and span. If there was a 10-Star rating for "Tidy", I would have given it. The bottom line is that I would definitely invite Gayle back for future sits and highly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter.

Mary was fantastic from start to finish and looked after our elderly dog with love and attention to her needs. She also looked after our home with respect and care. We couldn't have asked for a nicer sitter and would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.

Caitlyn, KJ, and their pup Sully were excellent house guests and pet sitters, and we would highly recommend them! 

I was able to meet Caitlyn and KJ prior to them house sitting for us, and we are always super appreciative when sitters are able to make that work and are willing to take time out of their schedule to come over and get the lay of the land. Their dog Sully was full of good boy energy and was a great playmate for our two Golden Retrievers. 

During the stay, Caitlyn & KJ sent us photos every day and followed all of our instructions for pet care to a T. They were super self-sufficient and gracious guests that left our place looking just like it did when we left, and we were very at peace knowing that our dogs were in great hands, getting lots of exercise, and romping around with new friend Sully.

Don't hesitate to book this family of three, your house and your pets will be well-looked after!

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.

Early in 2023 I went searching for a sitter to sit with our Lizzie for a month.  I found Lori during my search and I am so happy I did.  Lori’s reviews are all five star and I can fully attest as to why.   Lori was so friendly and kind and I could tell from the moment she met Lizzie that she would take great care of her.  I received daily pictures of her and Lizzie snuggling and I couldn’t have been happier knowing my girl was receiving a lot of love.   Lori left our home in wonderful shape (probably better than I left it for her).  She took great care and was very conscientious of all my plants.  We even came home after a very long day of travel to some wonderful chicken soup.    Lori will take wonderful care of your home and your precious pet.  Do not hesitate to contact her for your pet sitting needs.  I already have her booked for 10/2024 so don’t try and get her then!!!😁

BriAnna was our first pet sitter and we loved her :). She made every step very simple for us, communication was great, Pastis and Anubis seemed to be very happy with her, and the house was very clean when we came back. We highly recommend BriAnna to take care of your pets and we would love to have her back!

Ramona and Brandon were the perfect sitters! They rescued me and were very accommodating with my needs. Ramona's communication with me was A1. We spoke multiple times before she arrived and throughout the sit. She was good at keeping me updated and I was very grateful for that, being so far away. 

The pets gravitated toward them from the moment they arrived and you could see that all she and Brandon wanted to do was spoil the pets with lots of cuddles. My female pup was in heat and they handled that very well and were able to keep her and my male dog separated. I could only imagine how exhausting that may have been but they didn't complain one bit.  

Ramona and Brandon had to hand over the sit to another sitter and were kind enough to write out the details and everything they observed to make the transition a seamless one. I must say, it helped tremendously. 

I'd have them back in a heartbeat to sit for me as they showed that I could trust them, not only to take care of my pets but to respect my home they way they would their own. Thanks again for making my trip away worth it!

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. :)

Janis is a wonderful person and also an incredible sitter -- we were very, very fortunate that she agreed to care for our beloved pets and rural log home for 3 days.  We were confident that everything would be perfect – and it was.  We returned to a home as clean and ordered as we had left it, inside and out.  All plants were thriving; outdoor hanging baskets were blooming profusely.  Most importantly, our beloved dog and 4 cherished cats had obviously been lovingly and attentively cared for.  The koi were also active and happy.  

Janis is a “cat whisperer”.  She is especially skilled and patient with shy felines, so we truly appreciated her patience and caring for our sweet Angie (with a semi-feral background).  Janis immediately understood that Angie, despite her reclusiveness, craves affection and was able to start to earn her trust even with such limited time. 

Among Janis’ many gifts: she is a talented photographer and delighted us with frequent updates and photos of our furry children.  They are so beautiful that we, with her kind permission, plan to include several in our zeewoi profile. 

Janis’ communications, reliability, self-sufficiency, and punctuality were exemplary, start to finish.  We made a wonderful new friend and have already invited her back to sit again.  If you are privileged enough to ever have Janis sit we are certain that you will be as delighted and happy as we are.

Jerry and Suzanne were absolutely ideal sitters for our home and pets. We spoke with them ahead of their visit and could tell that they are genuine pet and travel lovers. Over their stay we got to see even more that they are wonderfully friendly, kind, and responsible - plus they kept us laughing with their updates and descriptions of our pets' antics while we were away. Our pets and plants were well loved and our house was spotless upon our return home, and they were even kind enough to leave a few goodies in the fridge. Our dog in particular seemed to miss them and their long walks around the neighborhood. Thank you Jerry and Suzanne! We wish you well in your travels!
