Kelly and Miguel took such good care of Thunder and our house and it made our vacation an absolute joy! We communicated via FaceTime and in person prior to the sit. They are delightful people and we have made new friends😄. This was my first time using zeewoi and it was a great experience. They sent me pictures and updates about Thunder throughout the stay and our house was left immaculate. Thank you so very much for your TLC and our new friendship!

Lynn and Jim were absolutely incredible!!! If you get the chance to have them stay with your fur-babies, jump at the opportunity! They were excellent at communicating right from the start and sent such wonderful pictures & updates throughout their entire stay. They cared for our two pups so well, giving them all the love, attention and exercise they could ask for :) I love that they included them on their dog-friendly adventures, and know that our pups were having just as much fun (if not more 😁) with them as we were on our trip. Our home was spotless when we arrived back. They took excellent care of everything 😊 We are so grateful for Lynn and Jim, and would love to have them here again if they're ever back in WI. Thank you again, Lynn and Jim!!!

Christine and Mark could not have been more charming or more trustworthy and capable of looking after our cat and our rather complicated home. They were unfortunate enough to be at our home during substantial building works and never made a fuss about this. Everything was immaculate when we returned apart from a leaking shower which was not in any way their fault and which they dealt with very effectively when the need arose. I strongly recommend Christine and Mark as zeewoi.

Michael and Faye were absolutely fantastic guests and took wonderful care of Whiskey and our home. They kindly arrived the evening prior to our departure and spent time with Whiskey that evening and the next morning to ensure they were well-versed on feeding, walking, etc. They provided regular updates and took Whiskey on several adventures during their stay. We would happily have them back in the future.

This was the second time Audrey (and her husband Kurt as well, this time) stayed with Millie, and it was so seamless, with frequent brief notes and photos reminding me of how lucky Millie was to get such attention. My plants were well-tended to and the house was left spotless. If Audrey and her husband Kurt apply to housesit for you, you should grab that chance - they are so wonderfully caring and responsible.

Mary was a joy to work with from the start- great communicator & very organized. She developed a good rapport with our grumpy old cat and sent the sweetest updates with photos. It really put us at ease that Sandy was well cared for and not missing us too much! Mary was also a courteous house guest and took good care of our plants and cleaned up beautifully. We will definitely invite Mary to come sit for us again!

I was so happy that I found Julianna to dog sit for me. I would 100% recommend her to everyone. She is everything you could ask for in a dog sitter. She asked the right questions so that she could be prepared and overall put me at ease throughout my vacation. She is also very pleasant and easy to talk to! She is clearly experienced with dogs. My dog took a liking to her the moment she walked in. She fed him on time, spent ample time with him (he is a small, needy yorkiepoo), and even took him to the office. She sent us daily updates on the situation at home and it was clear from the pictures that my dog was having a good time. She was quick to respond when I contacted her while I was on vacation. She even cleaned the apartment before she left. My dog was happy and healthy when I got back. I would definitely use her again!

Rebecca is very sweet and incredibly considerate. We had a nice long zoom call before confirming the sit and she was easy to talk to. At the time I had two kitties and one was very ill. Rebecca asked thoughtful questions and had so much experience that my stress and anxiety were alleviated; I was grateful to have found her and felt completely comfortable entrusting my kitties and little piece of paradise to her. Unfortunately my Fizzy Fitzy's health deteriorated and he didn't make it. I let Rebecca know before the sit that it would be only one kitty and that he would be adjusting to the loss of his "brother" and companion and might need more care and attention. She was so kind and again, I felt like the universe had sent me the right person. Rebecca and I got a chance to meet as we overlapped by an hour or two on day one; I was so glad to be able to see her in person and give her a hug before I left. I returned after about 10 days to a calm kitty (which was amazing given that he'd just lost his lifelong companion) and an immaculate apartment. Rebecca even washed the sheets and made the bed which was so beyond helpful and appreciated after a tiring trip. Rebecca sent me a long message on the last day letting me know what had been done and showing a walk-through of the home (she's very thorough, which I love), so I knew what I was coming home to down to the fruit in the fridge. Seriously, the place was immaculate! I know you're journeying on Rebecca but I would love to have you sit anytime. Thank you!

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.

Kelly was a wonderful pet sitter and house sitter!  Our dog Cooper adored her. She sent us pictures several times a day and he was always snuggling with her. She kept in touch with us regularly. We have never left our baby before and we were anxious about it but we ended up feeling totally comfortable with Cooper in Kelly’s care. She also kept our potted plants alive during a heat wave and took great care of the house. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

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.

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!

Mary Jessica was a wonderful house and pet sitter for our GIANT dog Mamma Mia. She took extremely good care of our house with it cleaner than we left it upon our return. Our neighbors remarked on all the walks she gave Mamma and Mamma seemed very pleased with the entire experience. Mary Jessica was self sufficient, needing very little instruction outside of our Welcome Guide. She followed everything I wrote and asked how much communication I’d want. I’m very pleased and would both recommend her and love to have her again.

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!

We had the pleasure of having Tara as our house sitter while we were away, and we can't praise her enough for the fantastic job she did. Not only did she take excellent care of our home, but she also showed tremendous love and attention to our beloved dogs.

From the moment Tara walked through the door, we could tell she had a genuine passion for animals. She immediately bonded with our dogs, and they seemed completely at ease with her. Throughout our trip, she provided us with regular updates and photos, which truly put our minds at ease knowing our boys were in great hands.

Tara took great care of our home as well. It was evident that she respected our space and coming back home, we found everything just as we left it, if not even better! 

We highly recommend Tara to anyone in need of a reliable, trustworthy, and caring house sitter. Her communication was excellent, and she proved herself to be a responsible and dedicated individual. If you want to ensure your pets and home are in the best hands while you're away, Tara is the perfect choice. 

Thank you, Tara, for taking such incredible care of our dogs and home. You made our trip stress-free, and we're truly grateful.

Exceptional Pet Sitters - Highly Recommend Diedre and Keith!

I am thrilled to leave a glowing review for our trusted house and pet sitters, Diedre and Keith. They took exceptional care of our long-haired cat, Molly, and our home during our absence. Everything went incredibly smoothly, and their communication was top-notch. Dierdre and Keith provided regular updates, including delightful pictures of Molly, which put our minds at ease while we were away.

Upon our return, it was evident that Molly had been well cared for and was content. The genuine love and understanding Diedre and Keith have for both dogs and cats was apparent in their interactions with Molly, and it was clear that they had made her feel comfortable and secure in their care. Their friendly and professional demeanor made the entire experience truly enjoyable.

In addition to taking great care of our beloved pet, Diedre and Keith ensured that our home was in excellent condition upon our return. They even went the extra mile by informing us about the leftovers they left in the fridge, which was a thoughtful gesture.

I wholeheartedly recommend Diedre and Keith as exceptional pet and house sitters. Their attentive and caring approach, coupled with their expertise, make them a perfect choice for anyone seeking reliable and trustworthy sitters. Don't hesitate to entrust your home and pets to this fantastic duo!

Rebecca was the best pet sitter ever!  Our chocolate lab, Kona, fell in love with her instantly and loved every minute of being around her.  She was extremely attentive to Kona, taking him for daily walks and she did a great job of sending us updates, video clips and photos.  We really loved that, knowing that Kona was being so well taken care of.  As my husband said, "OMG, she is the Dog Sitter Champion of the world!!!" She is definitely at the top of our list for future dog sitting.  If we could give her 10 stars, we would!
Thank you so very much, Rebecca!  You were amazing!  The best ever!!!
