Anna and Cody took amazing care of my Leia. She clearly liked Anna a lot (judging how quickly she took to Anna and how she interacted with Anna in videos) and Anna was a great communicator too. Would def use them again!

We had the pleasure of having Electra house-sit and care for our cats over the summer, and she was nothing short of amazing. Throughout her stay, Electra provided regular updates on our cats, keeping us informed about their well-being and routines. She was always quick to reach out if she had any questions regarding their care or health, which gave us great peace of mind. Our cats absolutely adored her, and it was clear that they were in the best hands. Electra also took excellent care of our plants, ensuring they were well-watered and thriving by the time we returned. Not only did she maintain the health of our pets and plants, but she also kept our home impeccably clean. We were delighted to come back to a spotless house and especially appreciated that she had washed our bedroom sheets, so we had a fresh and clean bed to sleep in upon our return. I cannot recommend Electra highly enough. She went above and beyond in every aspect of her house-sitting duties, and we would love to have her house-sit for us again anytime. Thank you, Electra!

Yukie and Nobu were the best pet sitters that we have ever had, and could have asked for! They were on time, communicative, kind, and respectful. They took wonderful care of Kora and our home, and left it spotless for our arrival, which we were incredibly grateful for. Each night, they sent a recap message with her schedule, any notable events, and lots of pictures and videos. We loved this and looked forward to it every day! They were extremely self-sufficient and handled any issues themselves, which we really appreciated. Kora was calm and happy when we arrived home and it was obvious she was very well-cared for. We would have them back in a heartbeat!

This was our first time using zeewoi, so we were a little anxious about how it would go, and we were absolutely thrilled! For this sit, it was just Randall, and he went absolutely above and beyond. Great communication ahead of time — he even came over and met our kitties before we left. He took amazing care of the cats, the house, and the hot tub. He spent so much quality time with our kitties that he was able to capture the best photos of them we’ve ever had, and shared those with us along the way. We had to stop through the house to pick something up (with notice of course) a week into our trip, and it was cleaner than we have ever seen it. When we realized we had left our passports in the house, he went out of his way to send them to use immediately and securely. Saved our Canada trip! I would absolutely love to have Randall house/pet sit for us again!!

Mami was a wonderful Petsitter, she took care of Barney, send me updates and was very easy going with all. Our plans our kind of not 100% sure but Mami was very accommodating, I hope she can take care of Barney in the future.

I would leave a 10-star review for Stacey & Nick, if that were an option. They took excellent care of my cats and house. Wonderfully, they bonded lovingly and immediately with Bertie and Jewel. Even Jewel, my nervous and jumpy cat, came to them for daily headrubs, and Bertie nestled nearby on the couch and chairs so he could enjoy their company. They sent me regular reports and photos of the cats so that I could relax without worry on my trip. They also left house very clean and welcoming for me when I returned. Before the sit, we had a good conversation to discuss what was required and whether it would be a good fit, and it was clear that they were experienced house- and pet-sitters who knew exactly what questions to ask and when to get clarification. Stacey and Nick are utterly reliable and caring pet-sitters. I would have them again any time!

Alex always communicated within minutes. He arrived on time and was amazing with tyke. He was very gentle in his approach and after an hour or so, tyke warmed up to him. Alex sent updates and photos regularly. The house was tidy on return and tyke was happy.

Julie is great! First she made herself available for a very short notice and short stay which was very helpful. On top of that, she was incredibly kind, observant, respectful and the list goes on. She took care of our home and our pet with love and left us feeling relieved and grateful. Highly recommend for any stay.

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.

Hanna did an excellent job sitting Molly, Eddie, Jasper, and Miley. She communicated well, took notes on our initial meet and greet. She went out of her way to help us get the dogs to a kennel when we experienced a family emergency  and could not extend her sit due to work commitments. The dogs loved her and the shy kitties came out of greet her mid stay. She left our home immaculate and well cared for. She is truly a winning pet sitter in our eyes! We hope she can come again sometime.

This was my first time using house sitters and Shanen and Ryan were wonderful. She sent me pictures of Calla and game me updates on Calla’s activities. She would be welcome to pet sit for me anytime!

Melanie and Steve were excellent house & pet sitters. They sent me so many pictures of my 3 cats without me even asking and it made me so happy to see them enjoying their company. I'd say out of all the house sitters I've had, they spent the most time with my cats which means a lot to me. They are kind, easy to connect with and I'd welcome them back anytime. As far as caring for my house - top notch.

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!

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. :)

Elaine was a welcomed sitter for Cyrus and Purrelli. I returned from holiday to find a very content relaxed dog and a happy fat cat. Purrelli doesn’t eat when he is stressed so seeing a little meat on him let me know he was content and happy :) My condo was left clean and in order, all communications were smooth and there was zero issues. Thx for the great pet care Elaine.

David was an outstanding house/pet sitter for our active pup Tosha, older kitty Rascal, and 4 chickens.  Rascal came home with a deep, gaping wound the day before we left for 11 days, and David was very responsible in monitoring the healing process with photos and texts to us.  He exercised Tosha in the neighborhood and local parks, and obviously enjoyed her company. Our house was spotless and extremely neat when we got home, which is always welcoming after a long trip. We are very grateful for the excellent care David gave to our precious pets and home.
