Rose and mark were fantastic. Very professional and caring sitters. I never felt that I needed to worry about anything. They left my home in the condition as if they had never been there. I, absolutely couldn't have been more impressed and pleased.

Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.

I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!

Caring and loving pet-sitter.

Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!

Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!

Misti
WFH researcher excited to provide quality care to your furry loved ones!

• 26 reviews
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!

Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.

Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!

I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle

Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.

Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

Reviews From Pet sitter
I used to sit through Rover, but it always felt like a job. I had to accept sits I didn’t really want—like pets I wasn’t comfortable with or dates that didn’t work for me. If I said no, my rating would drop, and I’d lose future opportunities. It was stressful, and I started to lose my love for pet sitting.
Then I found Zeewoi. Here, I get to choose the pets I love, the dates that fit my schedule, and the places I want to explore. It’s not a job anymore—it’s a chance to spend time with animals I adore, and feel empowered to say no without fear. Zeewoi gave me back the joy of pet sitting.

I’m a writer who works remotely, but hotels and Airbnbs add up fast. Zeewoi lets me live in homes full-time while owners are away—not just caring for their pets, but keeping their house safe. Turns out, in a lot of states, leaving your house empty for more than 5 days can mess up your insurance.
It’s a trade that works. Owners avoid risks, and I get free places to write—like that month in a cabin where I finished my book with a snoozing Labrador at my feet. The pets keep me company, the house gives me space to focus, and nobody’s stressing about an empty home.

After retiring and losing our dog, my husband and I sold our house and started traveling full-time. We’re in our late 60s and can’t rush, so Zeewoi is perfect. We care for pets in exchange for free places to stay.
In 3 years, we’ve visited 46 states. We’ve stayed in homes, farms, and apartments, looking after dogs, cats, and even a llama. Owners get free pet care; we get to travel slowly and affordably. It’s meaningful—we help people (new parents, busy workers) and still feel connected to pets after losing ours.
No stress, no hotels. We’re healthier, happier, and forever grateful. Alaska and Hawaii, here we come!

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.
Andrea
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!
Shannon
Janis and her husband Dan were beyond phenomenal! Communication was great leading up to their arrival, especially with coordinating arrival and departure times. And during the sit, I got lots of picture updates throughout of how Isabel was doing. I could tell from the pictures how comfortable and happy my dog was hanging out with Janis and Dan and getting all the pets and attention. Coming home, everything was left so clean and organized. I definitely recommend them as pet sitters as they clearly took such good care of both my pup and my home.
Hannah
Tina was a fantastic house/pet sitter for my cat Trixie - I can’t recommend her enough! She was very communicative and also self sufficient and I felt completely at peace with Trixie in her care. She took it upon herself to water my plants and also trimmed Trixie’s nails, which I always struggle with! She provided perfect company for Trixie, playing with her, brushing her, loving her and giving her daily medicine. She also left my apartment in perfect condition. I would gladly have Tina pet sit again. A 10/10 experience.
Katrina
Anant was a great sitter and a friendly guy. Kept me up to date re his arrival and with Marie & Toulouse during the sit. Found my house exactly as I had left it. Would highly recommend Anant to other pet parents.
Allison
Once again, having AnnaMarie take care of our pups was absolutely the right choice!! Her frequent updates, care of our house and fur babies was stellar! Although the dogs were thrilled to see us when we returned, as we chatted with Annemarie, we could see them continuing to go to her for affection and cuddles. It was so sweet to watch our one-year-old lick her ear and Annamarie just giggled and happily tolerated it. What a great sport😎. We would highly recommend her to anyone and would also suggest if you happen to see a less than perfect review for her ( there is only 1)I know the true story... it's unfortunate that some people are so unappreciative of someone who will go out of their way to care for their home and Pets (at no charge🙃🙃)-- it just boggles my mind and am confident they are not being honest! Suffice it to say she is a gem and perfect sitter in every way- if you can get a chance to book with her- do not hesitate! We truly think of her as part of our family now and all 5 of our pups would agree!
Robert & Rebecca
Angela did a great job caring for Willie for 10 days while we were out of town. She was easy to communicate with and kept us informed about Willie, along with sending photos of him out on walks and at the beach. Angela was very accomodating when we needed to come home a day early - Thank you! The house was left in good shape and it's clear that Angela is organized and reliable and clearly loves her pet charges. I'd recommend Angela and will definitely include her as one of our top sitter choices in the future! Thanks again, Angela!
Sally
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. :)
Abhishek
Kuldip exceeded all the expectations we had from a Zeewoi. She took over from another sitter when we got stuck out of country due to a family emergency. A highly energetic person yet extremely organized, she easily matched the energy level of my 2-year-old Border Collie Pavo. She not only exercised him multiple times every day, but even him bought him new doggy toys and treats (much appreciated!). She got along very well with our neighbor and with their combined help Pavo got a much needed doggy bath! With her by my dogs side we were worry-free and able to focus on our family needs. Lastly, she left a pleasant surprise when we came back home. Our home looked squeaky clean and beautifully organized. Kuldip is a gem of a pet sitter and we would love to have her back for our fur baby without any hesitation. I highly recommend her!
Samantha
Farhan is a fantastic house sitter! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a down-to-earth, kind, and caring pet sitter for their home. We have three small dogs (around 6 lbs) and he took excellent care of them. They can be a little nervous/ timid around new people, and more so around men at times, but the dogs didn't show any of that nervousness around Farhan! He was gentle and respectful of their space and they warmed up to him immediately. I got a wonderful text the first morning that I was away that they cuddled up with him at night - showing how quickly they adjusted to him as their caretaker. I was able to meet Farhan in person before I left on my trip and I was able to have a wonderful conversation with an ambitious explorer. He is a delightful person. Upon my homecoming the house was very clean and the dogs were happy and relaxed. I can't ask for anything more! Thank you Farhan for taking such wonderful care of our three dogs and our home.

I’m extremely disappointed and concerned with this facility’s lack of transparency and care for pet health. I recently found out that dogs with kennel cough were allowed to attend without any warning to other pet owners. Although I was informed there were suspected cases prior to my dog's visit, they failed to mention they were still allowing sick pets to attend. This is an incredibly contagious illness, and letting these dogs interact with healthy ones is irresponsible and careless. Not only did my dog catch kennel cough, but I also had to cover unexpected vet bills and medication costs, not to mention the stress of seeing my pet suffer. This is also the second time my dog has caught kennel cough from this facility, but I chalked the first time up to the fact that with that many dogs in the same area, it's probably somewhat inevitable. Pet owners trust facilities like this one to prioritize the health and safety of their dogs. This kind of negligence is unacceptable and raises serious questions about the facility’s protocols and commitment to pet safety. I would not recommend this daycare to any pet owner who values their pet's health and well-being. Upon trying to reach out to the owner for clarification, I was told they closed the facility for a week for deep cleaning, which was found to be untrue. And if I had any additional questions, to contact my vet. I would not recommend this daycare to any pet owner who values their pet's health and well-being.
Bailey enjoys his time at doggie day care, especially play time with other pets. I feel that he is well taken care of while there. He brought home a Halloween bag of doggie treats today. Happy wags to Kathy.
Super easy and friendly service. The facility is newer and the kennels are of good size and clean. There is an area for dogs to stretch their legs for a run, as well as opportunity to interact with other dogs if you'd like (or not). The groomers are exceptionally good and thorough and can also trim nails if needed. Reasonably priced and easy to find. Highly recommended!
Great place that truly cares about the animals. We board our dog there every time we leave the area. Our dog loves the place, and the place loves our dog.
My cat, Rogue, went in for a grooming appointment. She came out looking her very best! I would 100% recommend them for cat grooming. Thank you for the great care of my girl 🥰 …
You all took the BEST care of Pippa and Darla when we were gone for two whole weeks in Hawaii! The girls have never stayed at a boarding facility, and you gave us a wonderful first experience. We saw the cutest photo updates, and they both came back fresh and clean! Our dogs have an unusual circumstance as they do not get along (one is dog reactive) and the staff did an amazing job of ensuring they stayed separate and each had their individual needs met. Darla got to play with the other pups, and Pippa got one on one human love! We will be using Holiday Pet Resort again and again. Great pricing to boot!
Karen was amazing with our shy dog! He is a rescue and doesn't trust many people. She took the time to get to know his personality and became his friend! Thank you Karen!!
Been entrusting our lil buddy, Toby to their loving care for over 5 years now. They actually care about animals, and do a great job taking care of our first-born four-legged friend. He absolutely loves going. They take amazing care of our rescue puppy with separation anxiety, and go above and beyond to help us manage his care and make sure he is treated with love and respect. 100% recommended.
We love this place !!! We have been going here since 2019 and they take great care of our Dutch Shepard Althea. Whether its her normal Friday daycare day or we need to board her for the weekend, I would highly recommend this place for your doggie to stay and play. I would also like to point out their professionalism when dealing with a sticky dog situation. While at day care one day Althea hurt herself during play, they called right away and said that they had her resting off to the side until we could come get her to take her to the vet. So thankful they were there to watch after my furbaby!
Friendly staff they always gave me updates when I called to check on our pup. Reasonable prices. We boarded our pup when we went on vacation and we would use them again. Ms Kelly was taken great care of.
