2me fois que Liliana vient chez nous pour garder notre chatte Yuki. Expérience aussi bonne que la première fois. Liliana est une personne qui a le contact facile avec les animaux et les personnes. Le contact avec Yuki se passe toujours très bien. Elle s'occupe de la maison comme si c'était la sienne. On peut partir en vacances l'esprit libre, on sait que l'on peut compter sur Liliana pour toutes situations. Merci à elle pour sa venue, nous espérons l'accueuillir une autre fois.

David has excellent reviews for a reason! He is a true cat lover and immediately won over our suspicious clan. Looking after 12 cats requires time, patience and organization, and David excelled at all these things. The communication before the sit was excellent. He asked lots of questions and made sure he understood the routines and expectations. During the sit he sent lots of photos and videos, which was much appreciated. He also managed some unexpected issues, like getting a prescription for one of the cats and giving her pills every day. He watered the plants regularly and took care of the house. Due to unexpected changes in work circumstances, my husband and I returned home earlier than planned. David was flexible and understanding as we worked this out, and made a challenging couple of weeks much smoother than they might have been. Overall, having David as a sitter was a great experience. Highly recommended!

Dirk and Rosemary looked after my 2 cats Kiwi and Callie for a few days. They are a very nice, friendly couple who agreed to arrive the day before my departure so we could get to know each other a bit and which made the handover much more relaxed. Kiwi is very shy and not an easy cat to get to know but they sent me a video after about 3 days in which they were stroking and petting him much to his delight. Callie too was very happy and relaxed with both Dirk and Rosemary. On my return the flat was very clean and tidy. I strongly recommend Dirk and Rosemary to other pet owners who want to know that their pets are being well cared for while away from home.

Adriana was a lovely sitter for Cocoa, she is a very calm and caring person who clearly loves animals, Cocoa was immediately happy in her company. We received daily photos and updates which we enjoyed. Everything was very clean and tidy in the house when we returned. Anyone would be lucky to have Adriana as their sitter and we would be happy to have her return to us again in the future.

We feel so fortunate to have had Maggie & Ciro looking after our place, our plants and most of all, our dog Otter. Otter was happy & content and plants looked great upon our return. I'll confess, this being our first time using zeewoi.com, it felt pretty weird to be entrusting our home and furry child to people we didn't know. But Maggie's excellent communication made all the difference...from meeting prior to departure, to photos and notes while we were away, her warmth and care shone through. She was also a communication rock star when we had to unexpectedly return home a day early due to a medical emergency. We highly recommend Maggie & Ciro as housesitters.

If you are lucky enough to have Ines and Luis care for your fur baby, you will NOT be disappointed!!! We were so thrilled and delighted with the level of care that our sweet kitty received, and we loved getting daily pics and updates. We had the pleasure to meet Ines and Luis before we left for our trip, and we had such a great time talking with them both and learning a little more about their life and their kitty. Ines asked many questions about our house, what we expected, our cat's food schedule and basically offered to do anything that we needed done while we were away. When we returned from our vacation our house was SPOTLESS!!!! They cleaned our kitchen, the bathroom, mopped the floors and put away all the sheets and towels they used. I can't even explain what a delight it was to walk into our home late at night and find it so tidy and in perfect condition. Our cat, Philly truly loved them and I think she was probably sad to see them leave. :) The level of respect and care that Ines and Luis provided to us was beyond our wildest expectations. We genuinely hope we get to see them again and they would be welcome in our home ANYTIME they find themselves in Tavira. We can't thank them enough for all they did to ensure that our vacation was stress free and peaceful!!! These are very special people!!!

Sitting with Nicole and Adrián was one of the best experiences we've had since we started using the platform. It was a great pleasure for us to entrust our cat and our apartment to Nicole and Adrián, whom we quickly trusted and found very friendly. They are two cat lovers who were able to build up a real relationship with Pouloutte during the sit and give him all the affection he needed! Communication was very fluid, whether it was organizing their arrival/departure or sending news. For three weeks, they sent us daily updates with photos of our cat, each one cuter than the last. They were very attentive to Pouloutte’s well-being and made sure to adapt to him, especially on hot days. They were very affectionate and loving with him. In fact, they became very attached to Pouloutte! They were very respectful with our belongings and left the apartment very clean ! It was very pleasant to return from vacation and find the apartment clean (with a lovely bouquet of flowers!). We therefore recommend Nicole and Adrián as catsitters without any hesitation.

We have really debated how to write this review. The positive is that our animals were very well cared for and seemed very happy. We had nice updates which was great. Unfortunately, the house on our return was not. I would expect it to be left as it is found and sadly it really wasn't. My plants had been neglected too, which we were very sad about. I have reread old reviews which are all 5* for clean and tidy so perhaps are standards are high but I felt an honest review was necessary.

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!

Kelly was flawless, she was a fantastic pet sitter and house sitter.  She was over communicating with pictures and updates.  We were at total peace knowing Kelly was overseeing Leo and Bella.  Kelly connected with our dogs perfectly. We loved how Kelly daily took our dogs for walks and even an extended hikes.  She has our full and complete recommendation.

Leslie and Kyle set the bar for all other pet sitters! On the first morning of their stay my cat got out due to a faulty window in my apartment  and they handled the situation so well. Leslie sent a text explaining what happened and that my cat had returned safely and she was so calm about the whole thing that it put me at ease for the rest of my trip. Kyle went above and beyond and not only fixed the window screen (he actually fixed two screens during their stay!) but also made sure the window was secure until maintenance could come and fix the issue. Their go with the flow attitude was amazing. I would 100% have them sit for me again! I can not recommend them enough. You would be lucky to have Leslie and Kyle as your sitters :)

Andrea was the perfect sitter for our older Italian Greyhound and our shy cat. 
She followed every request to a “t”, and helped us to feel comfortable and care 
free for a long zeewoi. The communication 
of photos and videos were a warm 
reminder of how well they had been adjusting to our absence. Andrea showed care and consistent compassion for Darcy and Hammy. 
She seemed to enjoy them and our home as much as us!
We returned to an absolutely spotless home, without anything left undone. She thought of everything related to us and our pets, so we could have a seamless late evening  return. 
We highly recommend Andrea for any zeewoi, as she is a jewel. Anyone looking for a “perfect” sitter would be lucky to have Andrea as a trustworthy, considerate and kind person to care for their pets and home.

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!

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!!

Thomas did an amazing job! We were very pleased with how well he was able to care for our 3 active Boston terriers. He was able to handle all 3 on a walk and feed them their special meal everyday. He even ventured out and took them to the beach which is no easy task for 3 excited dogs. Thomas did a great job communicating before and during the stay. We came home to a clean house with bedding washed. We had a handful of other pet sitters through this website and Thomas easily rates at the top of our list. Thank you for taking great care for the dogs and the house.

Milly was a lovely house sitter and I’d highly recommend her. She submitted a really great application and after a FaceTime chat it was an easy decision to choose her for our sit. 
She is the youngest sitter we’ve chosen but she has a maturity beyond her years and it was clear she had so much experience with animals that we felt confident leaving her in charge of our menagerie. Olive our young Pom has never been left with a sitter before so we were a little worried about how she would be but Milly was so patient, gentle and kind that she quickly won Olive over. So much so, on the morning Milly was leaving ,Olive would only let Milly put her harness on her before going for a walk. All the animals were perfectly cared for while we were away and we returned home to happy pets and a tidy house. 
Milly’s communication from our first contact and right through the sit was great and she even sent a lovely video of the dogs having fun on their walk. 
I’d have Milly back to housesit for us again anytime.
