Wynand
Waimakariri District, New Zealand
New Zealander taking a break
Wayne was absolutely brilliant, I had a lot of updates from him over the 10 day sit and it sounds like he had a lot of fun with the cats. I had some lovely pictures and heard about their antics which was great. Wayne was very easy to communicate with and he left the house sparkling clean. I am hoping he comes back next year as I'm pretty sure the cats are missing him now we are home 😂 Ratchet especially seemed to enjoy someone to play feather with her! I would 100% recommend Wayne as a sitter for anyone else.
Bill
Waimakariri District, New Zealand
Animal lovers currently available anywhere in NZ, Europe & Australia
Bill and Teckla are a lovely couple with a varied range of interests. We had a few days together before we left to show them the ropes and had several conversations about their experiences while travelling. We realised we had made an excellent choice for our sitters. It was clear immediately that they are animal lovers and quickly made friends with Monty, Digby and Rocky. Just what we wanted! Lhasa’s are not the easiest dogs to sit for, however Bill and Teckla clearly understood what was required, particularly with Monty who is a notoriously fussy eater. During our time away we received daily reports about our pets including several pictures. Very reassuring for us. We also had an ongoing conversation about how our holiday was going and how they were enjoying the local French culture including Duras chateau and the soirée gourmand. When we returned the house was spotless, bedding washed and our ‘boys’ were obviously well cared for and loved. A credit to Bill and Teckla and worthy of a five star rating. We enjoyed our time with them both before and after our trip and would welcome them back to Marsou at any time. They a generous and kind couple who our pets adored. Thank you for your enthusiasm in sitting for us. Please keep in touch.
Sheila
Waimakariri District, New Zealand
Capable, Caring couple
I cannot praise Sheila and Matt enough. They looked after my two dogs and house as if they were their own and I returned to very contented dogs and a spotless house. It was my first experience of usiing zeewoi and it certainly will not be my last after this experience. I am just sorry that Sheila and Matt are too far away to house sit more often.
Carol
Waimakariri District, New Zealand
As a matter of introduction, I’d like to introduce you to Carol and Mark Jones.
I can’t rate Carol and Mark highly enough! I was a bit anxious about being a first time zeewoi and leaving our house and fur babies but Carol put my mind at ease… it really was all good! They sent regular updates and photos of how their week was going, it was so lovely to see the dogs so happy. We came home to a beautifully clean and tidy home. The dogs clearly missed Carol and Mark but are settling into having Mum and Dad home again lol! Carol made muffins and left some in the freezer, and even bought milk for our return. We would be delighted for them to sit any time. Liz and Kev

Caring and responsible retirees ready to care for your home and animals.
Anne and Lindsay did a wonderful job of looking after our home and pets. It makes it so worry free to go away knowing they are going to be here. Thanks again.
Toni
Waimakariri District, New Zealand
Qualified Veterinary Nurse from New Zealand
It was a delight having Toni take care of the boys while we were on holiday. She communicated well and we got pictures of the boys every day. The house was clean and tidy when we got back! I think the boys had a great time as well ! Thank You Toni, you are welcome back any time!
Cheryl
Waimakariri District, New Zealand
Respectful Kiwi-Canadian couple wishing to take great care of your pets & home.
Cheryl and Ian communicated very well before and during the sit. Arrival time was to the minute, questions were asked and answered. During the sit there was a storm in the area and Cheryl was thoughtful to message me that there was no damage at my place, thank u for that Cheryl. I came home to a very clean house, laundry was dry so I just had to make the bed. I had to select excellent for pet care because the option of n/a wasn't available, there were no pets this time ( they were at a friend's house). Cheryl and Ian are welcome to come back anytime.

Reviews from Pet Owners
Heather
Amanda was the perfect housesitter and pet sitter for our cat. She is organized and communicative, and took care to ensure she understood the guidelines for taking care of our home and our cat. She left our house in perfect condition and we returned home to one happy kitty! Would not hesitate to have Amanda housesit for us again or recommend her to others looking for a sitter.
Barbara
Lisa and her friend Sara were amazing pet and house sitters! We can't say enough great things about them - our pets were so calm when we returned from our trip and so happy... Lisa and Sara kept in touch with us regularly and sent us beautiful photos of the pets as well. We returned to a spotless home, fresh flowers and a note with polaroids of Soy, Calvin and Chickie! We absolutely loved hosting Lisa and Sara and highly recommend them, they are some of the best sitters we have ever had and they're welcome back anytime!!
Kate
Lindsay and Bryce provided excellent care to our two cats while we were gone. They are great communicators, took amazing care of our apartment and send regular updates and photos so that we knew all was going well. We would absolutely recommend them as responsible and thoughtful pet sitters who can be entrusted with the care of your home and pets.
Megan
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!
Sharon
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!!!

5 stars? Minimum, seriously, Tyler exceeded our expectations and we are DEMANDING when it comes to caring for our 4 pups! Fortunate to meet Tyler in person about a month prior, instant rapport, and she was basically born surrounded by animals. Professional high energy, and enthusiastic love for animals! We asked Tyler "Why the heck would you drive 1.5 hours from Nashville to hang in our small town?" Tyler replied "Have had animals all my life, current Nashville location cannot, I need my animal fix!" Tyler arrived the evening prior to our departure, met our 4 dogs, the eldest is special needs with bad hips, the youngest a wild child 2 year old husky, and in the 15 years of having family or friends assist with our pup sitting, this is the most positive and enthusiastic our dogs have been to anyone outside our home. It was an instant love affair. Our dogs are so spoiled with mom & dad working from home, nearly 24/7 attachment, they typically become depressed, despondent, ornery, you name it, even if we go out for 2-3 hours. The 3 instances where we did an overnight trip or the like, they acted as if we had abandoned! When we came home after 3 nights away (was going to be 5 but business cut our first vacation in 10 years short), when we walked in the 4 of them looked up as if to say "Oh your home how nice" and were content as if we had never left. That is a FIRST in 15 years. Not only did Tyler provide us with updates, photos, messages, etc. she organized (we did not require nor ask) our complete chaos of a large kitchen drawers, pots pans, you name it, it was the most organized we have been in a LONG time. Our eldest handicapped Husky, usually has accidents in the house at least once a day. The youngest 2 year old loves to chew up the carpet, toys, bedding. Under Tyler's watch, no accident, no chewing, and total happiness from a new affectionate friend! This was our VERY FIRST Trusted House/Pet sitter foray, and Tyler far exceeded or expectations, and set a standard that will be difficult for others to follow. Allowing a total stranger to watch your beloved pets and home is a serious undertaking, and Trusted House/Pet provided us with a rock star. Family and friends alike joke how we are over the top with our dogs, and Tyler did not bat an eye, and provided a seamless transition of puppy affection and well being. This review may seem over the top to some, all I can say is this is 100% true to life, and other Home/Pet owners are welcome to reach out to us for further referral. Those who are able to work with Tyler depending on her work/travel schedule would be well served to invite her without hesitation. Tyler, THANK YOU for allowing us to enjoy a few nights for the first time in a decade! Dean & Diana Smith

Debra was a Great pet and house sitter !! She communicated well throughout our long trip and sent us frequent pictures of all of our pets. She watered our plants and brought in all the mail. Our home was immaculate when we arrived home and the dogs and cat were super happy !! I would recommend Debra as a wonderful, responsible and reliable pet and house sitter !
Tina
If you’re lucky enough to find Anna as your pet sitter you will have peace of mind and well cared for pets whilst you are away and a clean and tidy home on your return. Anna is thoughtful and kind, she arrived the evening before the sit which allowed for some time to hear about her interesting travels and work, kept me updated with fabulous photos and details of the friendship she was making with the cats and even took the trouble to fix a sticky catch on the cat flap. I can recommend her as a sitter without hesitation. Thank you Anna
Katie
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.

Jessica was an awesome pet sitter for my cat Fifi. She texted photos and updates everyday so I knew that Fifi was being well cared for. She was communicative and asked a lot of good questions to make sure she understood Fifi's needs. My home was equally as clean (if not more so) upon my return. I would highly recommend Jessica!
