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!
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 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.

Cynthia was a perfect pet sitter for our little kitty. We knew from her extensive experience with cats that Nala was in good hands. She was extremely responsive via texts when we were away, ensuring us that the 2 of them were having a great time. She went absolutely above and beyond by scrubbing our bath and toilets to remove our mineral deposit rings that we haven't been able to get rid of! She even left the name of the product she used so we can get more in the future. The house was cleaner than when we left. We'll have her back anytime!
It was my first time using zeewoi so I was slightly apprehensive, but as soon as I heard from Kendra I knew both my cat and my apartment would be in safe hands. Kendra was great with communicating and coming back quickly, very friendly and clearly experienced with sitter jobs. Whilst staying at my place she sent me regular updates. Once I returned home the flat was spotless. I would highly recommend Kendra and I would certainly use her again. She’s great!
We were so pleased to meet John and Trisha! We had them come in a day before we left and enjoyed a nice meal with them and they got to meet Delilah (even if she didn’t seem interested) but she soon warmed up to them - except for the Cat Videos - she wasn’t very interested 🤣 When we returned our home was so clean (probably cleaner than we left it)! We got frequent pics and updates on our Princess! They also left us with a Progress Report with Delilah’s activities and what they did at the house before they left. We would highly recommend John & Trisha if you are lucky enough to have them apply for a House Sitters job! Bill, Kathy & Delilah 🐈⬛❤️
Lindsey was super communicative, friendly, responsible, and an excellent sitter for our two cats. When we returned, our home was clean and our cats relaxed and happy as if we had never left ! She sent us photos and updates every day, as requested, and when a random mishap occurred in the apartment, she let us know right away and was proactive in handling issue. We felt like both our cats and our home were in very caring, capable and respectful hands. Excellent! Thank you Lindsey!
We literally cannot say enough positive things about Susan and Miranda! They are the best! From start to finish, they did an amazing job communicating with us, giving our 3 (somewhat needy) cats extremely high quality care and tons of attention, and keeping our house clean and plants watered. They took adorable pictures of the cats and sent them to us several times a day, played with them and gave them so much love and affection, and when we got home the house was even cleaner than when we left. We even asked them for some tips on how they were caring for the cats because our cats seemed happier and more relaxed than ever when we returned home to them! This was by far our best cat/house sitter experience to date. We hope Susan and Miranda are available again in the future to sit for us and would invite them back without hesitation.
Wow, what a find Justin is! I feel as though I won a lottery. As I was revelling in the communication we were having during his stay, I looked over his profile and realized either that he had updated it during his stay OR I never even read it. I was so impressed with his initial application that described multiple stays taking care of cats in Turkey that I knew he was going to be a great choice. So I'm not sure that I even read his profile or reviews. Turned out...he was more than I could have EVER hoped for. Justin is VERY organized and clear with his communication. Just as--or maybe more--important, he is a poster child for what zeewoi can be: more than just an economical way to get a pet sitter or a place to stay. Justin embraces the barter economy and the opportunity it presents to get to know people. Although we only met the day that I turned the house and my 2 cats over to his care, we had delightful communication throughout his stay. He wanted to be sure he was providing the right care to all living and non-living elements of my home as well as just chat beyond what we'd had an opportunity to cover when we were face to face on the handoff day. Bottom line: I'd have Justin back even if I wasn't going anywhere! I've met a friend. And my neighbors did as well! Oh yes, and my two cats were well looked after, the house was in ship shape, and Justin was able to brief the next sitter in person (I'd had to extend my time away and Justin already had another commitment). To say I felt confident leaving my pets and home in Justin's care is an understatement. Justin is a real adventurer and believer in the power of both human and animal connection. Without a doubt, I would recommend him as a sitter...and a friend! Thank you, Justin for a great example of how to wrestle so much more meaning out of zeewoi.
Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!
Elyse was one of the best pet sitters we've ever met! Couldn't recommend her more. We hope she stays at our place again. She sent many pictures of our beloved cats throughout our absence. We returned to our cats seeming relaxed and happy as ever. She also left our apartment sparkling clean. 10/10 :)
Cat and Paul sat for me in December and kept a watchful eye on my trusty sidekick Jake. All I can say is my gosh what a great job they did giving Jake a lot of TLC. He obviously missed them since he wandered around our home looking for them after their departure. My home was left in the exact same condition and they did a great job of communicating with me during my trip, letting me know exactly how Jake was getting along. I can't thank them enough for taking great care of my home and showing Jake a great time. I hope that during the coming year they will volunteer to do another sit for me. If you need any other specifics about how awesome a sitter Cat is please feel free to call or email me and I will be more than happy to give you more details. Hope you have an opportunity in the future to use them as house and pet sitters! Regards! Edward
We've had many pet/house sitters over the last few years and Cat and Eugene will reside at the top of the list of favorites! From my first email with Cat I knew I liked her. She has all of the qualities of a good house and pet sitter: Reliable, a good listener, organized, flexible, caring, and honest. She and Eugene arrived exactly on time for our pre-sit visit, where they got to meet Maya and become familiarized with the house. It was a delight to visit with them and become comfortable knowing Maya would be in good hands. Our scheduled dates changed somewhat and they were extremely flexible and easy going about the changes. Upon our return home, we found the house pretty much in the exact condition we left it in. I can tell that great care was taken for Maya and for the house. Maya seemed to still be looking for them the next day, wandering around the house wondering where the other people who loved her went. I would recommend Cat and Eugene for anyone looking for reliable, kind, respectful, caring, tidy, and honest sitters. If I am lucky, I will get to have them back to sit for me again.
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least 18 CHF per visit, per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Sittsy.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Sittsy cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
I've been using Lucky Dogs for daytime walking and all-day doggy daycare for several months, and have had an overwhelmingly positive experience. Sam is extremely kind, professional, and trustworthy, and has developed a wonderful relationship with my dog. He is so excited when Sam comes to pick him up that I almost get a little jealous, since he doesn't always greet me with that much enthusiasm. :) I'm looking forward to having Sam continue to look after my dog for a long time.
Sam of Lucky Dogs Daycare is a great dog-sitter. She takes great care of all the fur babies she is entrusted with. I can only recommend her warmly!
Sam has provided an excellent and professional service from the start, providing daily updates with a clear love and passion for what she does. Highly recommended!!
Sam has been walking our dog for months. She does this wonderfully, we always get films and a happy dog back from her. The only disadvantage: the dog soon loves her more than us...
Lovingly
Christina has taken care of our dog for over 3 years and we could not be happier. She is reliable, knowledgeable and highly professional. My dog enjoys the opportunity to exercise and socialize with other dogs. We also have peace of mind during our holidays, knowing our dog is safe and feels at home with Christina.
My dog (Parson Jack Russell) goes to Christina's dog boarding service two days a week and does so with enthusiasm. In the evening he comes home happy and tired, with lots of impressions and, above all, great social contacts. I really appreciate Christina and Paw-Dream's offer. The dog's day is well structured and varied; Christina has a good eye for the dog's individual character and needs, but also for the pack as a whole. She is lovingly consistent, professional, has a lot of experience and is very reliable.
Pawdreams Day is a very special day for Ruby and the joy when Christina comes to pick her up is always huge. Christina has a wonderful feeling for dogs and also the determination that it needs. I really appreciate that I can rely on Christina and know how much passion and patience she puts into looking after her dogs. It's nice to see what great trips and walks Ruby can experience in the pack. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
We are very happy that we can travel with Paw-Dream and Christina one day a week. The dog sitter picks us up in the morning and takes us home in the evening. In between we have a lot of fun and go to great places. Rest is the order of the day. We don't think that's great, but it's important, says our two-legged friend. She appreciates that we come home well-used, satisfied and tired. For us paw-creatures, Paw-Dream really is a dream. Our two-legged friend thinks so too. Woof-woof Emilou and Yukon
We are delighted with Christina's services. She is friendly, customer-oriented, flexible, and has a beautiful way of dealing and interacting with dogs. Her professional background as an Animal Keeper with a Swiss Federal Certificate of Proficiency and extensive experience during many years handling Dogs provide her with the knowledge and understanding to address every possible situation. We feel and know that Jimmy is in the best hands possible ❤️ We are thrilled with Christina's achievements. She is friendly, customer-oriented, flexible and has a wonderful way of handling and interacting with dogs. Her professional background as a federally certified animal care worker and her many years of experience working with dogs give her the knowledge and understanding to master any possible situation. We feel and know that Jimmy is in the best hands ❤️
Dog Nero has been with us for some time and I am very grateful because he has changed positively since he joined the pack and walking with him is now more fun. Christine's corrections are great, Nero follows better too, thank you very much. The great photos and videos I receive from her are also great :-). I would highly recommend it, great!
I can highly recommend Christina as a supervisor. But more like me, our dog Luki would put his paw in the fire for her. She is extremely kind, but also determined. She deals with the individual dogs. We can always rely on them 100%. And Luki runs towards her early in the morning, happy and waving, because he is really looking forward to the day in the pack. Thank you very much for everything!
Great dog care. Price performance top. The dogs love spending the day at Paw Dream. 100% recommended. Thanks
The most awesome doggie hotel ever. Nick treats all the dogs like his own and as sad as it is, when my Jackie comes back, it looks like she didn't even miss me. The communication is easy and straight forward, he is always super flexible and the luxury of the dog getting picked up and dropped off makes things even easier.
Best doggy day care! He picks up our dog somewhere between 7:30 and 8:00 AM and drops her off again between 5:30 and 6:00 PM, meaning she’s never alone at home. Our dog always looks forward to seeing Nick and her doggo friends. The farm tour showed us plenty of space for them to run and chill. Thanks so much for the amazing service!
Very great service: very friendly, flexible and animal-loving! My dog Tiffany loves going there and is always happy when she is picked up by Nick. I am very satisfied and can only recommend Nick and his Happy Hound Hotel☺️🐾🐶 …
I am extremely satisfied with the care quality provided by Happy Hound Hotel! My lab Joy is always extrmely excited about going there. The pick up and drop off service is an add on that makes my life so much easier. Would totally reccomend it!
Very good. My dog has been here many times.
First class dog sitting🫶with excellent pick up and drop off service. Nick is an experienced dog carer and my little mouse loves going on adventures with other furry friends every week🐕so only the best rating from us👌 …
I have known Linda for several years and I can't imagine a better place to look after my Fynn. Fynn feels very comfortable with her and is always incredibly happy when Linda picks her up. Fynn visits Linda regularly every week and always has a great and varied time there. Linda is always confident, reliable and always has good tips for me when I have a question. We also went on the social walks with her several times, they are always very exciting and varied! Thank you Linda for always taking such good care of Fynn and allowing her to be with you regularly!
Linda, with her wealth of knowledge and her great approach, can handle my male dog very well and I know he will be in great hands with her and in her care. I can recommend her at any time if someone has a not so uncomplicated fur nose. Thank you
Our Zeus is with Linda for one day a week. From the first moment, Zeus and Linda had a beautiful connection. Zeus is always so happy when Linda comes and he can spend a great day with her on her beautiful farm and surroundings. We are super happy that we found her. She does a great job and we can only recommend her.
Quinn thoroughly enjoyed his vacation with Linda. Since I picked him up again, he seems content, balanced and almost more vital than before. I really enjoyed the regular updates and photos she sent during his stay. I would trust Quinn with Linda again any time.
After a long search, I have now found a great place for my Belgian shepherd *Cora*. She feels very comfortable with Linda and always comes home well-rested. Even after her knee operation, Cora was in good hands with Linda and received her medication and cool packs. I always find it nice to see how much Cora enjoys going with Linda, so I can go to work without feeling guilty. Thank you for everything🥰
Linda was super nice and super competent when she did the animal and house sitting for us! Everyone was happy, including our cat, who is sometimes anxious. We would hire Linda again in a heartbeat and can only recommend her!
Linda from Hand for Paw supports me in training my husky so that I can make rapid progress with her. She looks after them very reliably and lovingly from time to time, so I know they are in the best of hands. Thank you very much for your help, Linda!
Oh, if I had met Linda sooner!! I have already completed 2 puppy courses, 1 young dog course and 2 dog trainers, but Linda is the first who was open and appreciative towards me and especially my dog. She doesn't judge, she doesn't evaluate, she doesn't criticize. She tolerates, accepts and shows other possibilities. She radiates so much calm and shows so much dog knowledge that there is no tension in you or your dog. Her open, competent, trustworthy and yet empathetic nature is soothing. I was able to look after my dog for a day with Linda - I had never separated from my sweetheart in 7 1/2 years - and now I know whoever needs a place for their 4-legged family member, whoever needs tips: it's Linda the best contact person. What she writes on her homepage are not empty phrases, but that is exactly what she lives and represents.
My two dogs feel very comfortable here. Body language is used and the necessary composure and calm was never missed. People also learn a lot here about how to deal with their four-legged friends. I can therefore only warmly recommend “Hand für Pfoten” to everyone. A truly great way to treat people and animals. Thank you for letting us get to know you.
I found out about “Hand for Paw” from friends and their friends. I had a spine surgery appointment at very short notice and was looking for a place for my deerhound Loxley. Already with the first email and later on the phone, the ice was broken and Linda came across as extremely likeable. There was no prior appointment to get to know each other. Nothing necessary. She then picked Loxley up from me personally and she was gone. I kept getting photos and little videos of my dog and almost became jealous of how well he was doing. After 6 days everything was done and he was even brought back to me. All I can say is that there is nothing more than 5 stars. I would have forgiven an entire starry sky. Thank you for everything and again at any time. Kind regards from the Zurich wine country, Harald
Isabell is super spontaneous and uncomplicated! I pulled the straps on Sunday and on Monday morning our Conti 'Tony' was allowed to go along with Isa, tail wagging. She did in 2 weeks what we couldn't do in two years - don't pull on the leash! Which made walking the dog much easier for me afterwards! And the snapshots of Tony that we get throughout the day are really great. We are completely happy with Isa's care and Tony always has a lot of fun with his dog colleagues. Thank you dear Isa!
Our dog Momo goes to Isa's every Monday since she was a puppy. She was already with her on vacation. The service is always reliable and Momo feels very comfortable. You always get videos of the dog walks where you can see how relaxed Isa is with the dogs. We are absolutely satisfied and can only recommend the service.
We are very satisfied with the care. Pick-up and delivery service works great. Professional and reliable. Finn is always happy when he gets to visit Isa😉We are always happy about the photos we get. We have also received a lot of good tips and are very grateful for them.
We are absolutely satisfied and happy with Isabelle's professional and loving care of our Enyo. A rather anxious dog who is happy when we get out of the car. I would definitely recommend Isabelle and her team
Thank you very much, dear Sandrine ❤️😘 …
Very friendly, well-trained dog sitter. Reliable, takes care of dogs and people, sends photos of the pet and is very punctual! I can only recommend it
Nice, friendly, good atmosphere and most importantly, my dog always felt very comfortable with Conny and her other members of the group. I enjoyed being with her. Can only recommend her.
Our Milow is in great hands with Conny and I can relax 100% because I know he will be perfectly looked after! Conny is very flexible and uncomplicated, which I really appreciate. I can warmly recommend her. Best dog care ever🤗thank you dear Conny …
Our dog feels very comfortable with Conny and is always very happy when he sees her and her dog Amy. I am extremely satisfied and really appreciate her uncomplicated and flexible nature. I also think the small number of dogs in the group is great.
Conny is very reliable and took loving care of my old horse several times during my vacation. The photos via WhatsApp were a great additional service to know at all times that he was doing well. Top!
The name says it all: Conny's dog paradise is actually a paradise for dog and owner. The dogs are cared for professionally and lovingly in a small group. Beautiful excursions into nature and an animal-friendly infrastructure are a given. Overnight stays and holiday stays are also highly recommended, as family connection and a nice place to sleep are guaranteed. Our dog loves Conny and we always know he is in good hands.
Reliable, uncomplicated and, more important than anything else, my dog feels comfortable with Conny. I am happy to give him into her care with a clear conscience!
We are super satisfied with Conny's dog sitting and have the feeling that our dog is spending a nice day there. We particularly appreciate Conny’s flexibility.
My little Bolonka is a regular guest at Conny's. Good and very reliable support. Lots of exercise and fun guaranteed. Thank you very much Connie
I think it's a very good guesthouse. I can help with this. I'm always happy to feel the love of the dogs and have fun with them!
