Noelene and Udo are exceptional house sitters and five stars is not enough. They looked after our border collie with love, care and affection. The house was impeccable and they mowed the lawn and weeded the garden! Tess, the border collie, had lots of walks and stick retrieving and was very relaxed when we got home. We cannot recommend Noelene and Udo highly enough.

Kathleen was a delight. She came a night early which gave us all the chance to get to know her, including Haali. I lent her the car and it came back clean and full of petrol. She also made a good connection with the dog walkers in the neighbourhood who all spoke highly of her. Haali was very content and obviously looked after well. I don’t think she’s as natural with plants, as we lost two indoor ones. I would have her again gratefully.

Joel and Dana were the BEST housesitters we've ever had. They went above and beyond to take care of a fire hazard while we were gone involving the power lines and kept us updated with the progress. We came home to a pup who acted like we hadn't abandoned him to strangers (a rarity!) and a freshly cleaned house!!! They left us the sweetest note and even though I know they probably won't ever house sit for us again, I'll never forget their thoughtfulness and kindness. You absolutely COULD NOT GO WRONG having these two house and pet sit for you.

Delightful sitters, very capable of caring for my variety of pets. Sergei made a great friendship with Bella, and Bella adjusted quickly to their gentle child. The cats are very relaxed despite some stress of having new people in the home, and you could tell they felt the love from this family. The Guinea pig was clean and healthy; it’s a messy job keeping the cage so fresh. I appreciate their work! I would be very happy to have them back if they are in Brisbane again.

Bronwyn and Brad were wonderful house sitters - even coping with Sydney's awful rain in July. They were clean and tidy, looking after our dog Monty beautifully, walking him every day. Bronwyn communicated with us regularly whilst we were overseas so we wouldn't worry. Would thoroughly recommend them as house and animal sitters.

Mandy and Ben were the best pet / house sitters we could have asked for! They looked after our pooch Pilu, sent us lots of videos and photos, exercised her and even catered to her special dietary needs and made her fave doggy soup. They left our place in a clean and tidy condition just as when we left it. Would definitely recommend to anyone needing a reliable and trustworthy pet or house sitter. Communication was great and they assisted how they could when our doggy door malfunctioned. 10 out of 10!!

Mica arrived a day earlier so that we could show her the house and the cats. From the beginning she radiated a warm, caring energy and the cats immediately trusted her which is not usually the case when they meet someone new. During our holiday she sent us pictures of them daily, we felt absolutely comfortable leaving them with her. On her last day she also took care of the laundry and garbage without any request from our side which we really appreciated, and updated us on the cats, where she left the keys and everything else. We would give 6 stars for everything if we could. Muchas gracias Mica!

Ellie has previously completed a house/pet sit in April with her husband at our home in Melbourne. This visit Ellie came on her own to care for Nelson our 6 year old Labrador and our very old cat Tiff and four egg producing chickens. Unfortunately for Ellie she arrived during a particularly wet and cold week in Melbourne. Despite this Ellie walked Nelson every day, and the chickens produced eggs! Maybe Tiff hibernated as she’s a cranky old thing! Despite finding a couple of our appliances complicated, a quick text resolved the issues. Our home was left tidy and Ellie even put linens on for washing when she was leaving very early on her final day. Ellie happily obliged us and arrived the evening before our departure so we could meet her and go over the routine in person. We appreciated this and we were pleased to finally meet her. She is a conscientious and considerate person and we both wish her all the very best with her work and studies and of course her future house sitting opportunities.

Abi and David were FABULOUS pet sitters during our 5-day trip. They were devoted and fun dog walkers, park-goers and ball throwers. They communicated well and sent pictures. And when we got home, the house looked great, and the dogs looked calm. We would gladly have them. Sit for us again and highly recommend them.

Alyssa was a very organized and caring pet sitter. This was our longest house sitter stay and she took excellent care of our home and two sweet and bossy Frenchies. I liked her communication to touch base the week before and how she initiated a shared photo album. We prefer not to get bombarded with daily text message photos and updates. She came up with a connected solution and touched base throughout her stay keeping us informed and sharing photos without a push. She even shared some travel gems about our destination as she is also a curious traveler and enjoys exploring outdoors.   We would be happy to use her again.

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!!

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!

Angie and her husband Joe were a great fit for our house and pet sitting needs! They kept in communication with us before our vacation started, and were able to arrive a little early so we could walk them through how various systems worked and where controls were located. Our dog bonded with Angie very quickly and I think he was hoping she would stay after we returned home  :) 
We got regular updates and pet photos while we were traveling. Although we were out of cell phone range for several days, we never had a doubt that things at home would be just fine while they were there!
They were also very flexible and understanding. Due to our flight schedule we arrived home in the middle of the night. Angie was able to feed and walk our dog, clean up and leave in the morning without waking us up! The house was left clean, the garden was thriving and our pup was happy. We are happy, and would be happy to have them back again as sitters anytime.

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!

Laura is hands down the best sitter that we have ever had care for our pets and house! Having her stay made our trip away so care free and added a super fun layer of getting her daily (morning and night!) updates with photos and videos, some were hilarious I love Laura’s sense of humor! We were gone 8 days and when’s we arrived home our house was cleaner than when we left,  mail on the counter, yard was picked up, it was beyond what we would expect. This made our first day back so easy. Oh’ and our pets were so relaxed and happy we knew they were loved and taken care of while we were away. Laura knew that we were coming home late and she even had bought a yummy quiche, rolls, fruit and juice so that we had breakfast in the morning!  Laura is responsive, a great communicator, I could go on but simply put she is welcome at our house anytime. Simply the best!! Thank you tons Laura!!

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!!

Angela and Joe are wonderful house and pet sitters sitters in every way.  They have a great loving way with animals and my shy dog warmed up to them right away. They are warm, organized, confident, and thorough.  They communicated very well and gave me frequent updates and sweet photos of my dog Chica.  They also took excellent care of my home.    My only regret was that I didn't get to spend more time with them, because they're such lovely and interesting people.
I give Angela and Joe my highest recommendation and feel that anyone would be very lucky to have them their sitters! I hope that they return to sit here again.

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!
