Jessica

I would highly recommend Jessica as a house and pet sitter! She took amazing care of our 3 Yo yellow lab Buckley, our 5 Yo indoor tabby cat Tucker ( who loves to try to escape) and our 15 yo leopard gecko Buddy. We zoomed prior, had great conversation & our animals were super happy when we got home and the house was immaculate. She took Buckley on outings and lots of walks and gave Tucker lots of love. She works remotely which was perfect as she was around the house for the boys. Can't recommend her highly enough! Super responsible, mature and enjoys the adventure of trying new places.!

Laura

Laura was an excellent sitter. She was very communicative, easy to reach when needed, and a true pet lover! She took such great care of my cat, and even bought her special treats which I'm sure she loved. When I came home my apartment was perfectly tidy which I appreciated. I'd be happy to have Laura back anytime!

Elle

Elle took wonderful care of my fur family while we were away! My two dogs and two cats were spoiled with attention under her care, so much so that my dogs now expect a walk every time I stand up! Elle was great at communicating throughout her sit and regularly sent updates or check-ins. She also did some home projects and was very thoughtful with her overall approach to everything. Thank you Elle, we are grateful for your help!

Julie

Julie watched my cat and apartment while o was away for a weekend in 2019. She was an excellent sitter and kept my cat very happy. She brought her dog with her who was sweet and gentle to my cat.

Neil

John and Eva were fantastic - communication was great, they were both very flexible in terms of arrival / leaving times, the house was immaculate and Ruby seemed happy when we got home. Couldn’t ask for more and would definitely have them back again.

Sandra

Paula was awesome! This was our first experience with zeewoi, and everything was perfect. Paula was able to meet us ahead of time to go over pet care and house stuff. She communicated daily, and included a picture of our special needs cat, Cheddar. She was responsible, easy going, and professional. Our home was clean and tidy when we got back, and Cheddar was happy and well cared for. We can't wait to have Paula back in August when we go camping again!

Ashley

Felicia and Ethan were wonderful pet sitters! They took such great care of our cat, Hank, who warmed up to them in no time. They also took exceptional care of our house, even going so far as to leave clean sheets on the bed and towels in the bathroom for when we arrived home. 

They are excellent communicators, made sure they asked about any nuances when it came to caring for Hank, and sent highly entertaining pictures and commentary of Hank for us to enjoy while we were vacationing. You will not be disappointed if you choose them for one of your house sits!

Katy

Sitting for Katy was easy peesy! The water in all the springs is by far the best water Ive experienced ! She was extremely helpful in many ways. Theres a fruit store nearby that has all kinds of fruit, fresh bread shop, and a butchery that's local. The nature is so beautiful massive mountains. & her house has 3 floors with a roof, so we had fun playing in each room. Thank you Katy 
Cheers !
