Pet Sitters in Fort Myers, FL

Saundra

Saundra and Andres were wonderful pet sitters to our two dogs. I could tell as soon as I picked them up at the airport that they were going to be a good fit because Saundra had downloaded pictures of our dogs to her phone! As soon as they arrived, the dogs immediately took to them and they treated the dogs like they had known them forever. Saundra came well prepared with questions from our Pet Sitters Guide and Andres asked about caring for our home as well as the dogs. While we were gone for two weeks, Saundra and Andres took our dogs boating and island hopping nearly every day, sometime twice a day! I know our dogs were loved, spoiled, and well-treated. We came home to a clean home, fresh flowers, a thank you card, doggie treats, the lawn mown, and a clean boat and car. We're so grateful for sitters like Saundra and Andres who deliver on their promise to treat our home and our pets as if they were their own. I would love for them to come back another time! Thanks, Saundra and Andres!

Lennie

Lennie and Richard are wonderful house/pet sitters.. They are genuinely friendly and competent. My wife and I enjoyed getting to meet and share time with them. They took great care of Finley, our pet Scottie, during the week we were on vacation. The house was immaculate when we returned. We view them as new friends and hope our paths cross in the future.

Patricia & James

We love having Pat and Jim come stay! The house looked fantastic and the animals are so well cared for. We happen to love the daily pictures and know all is well.

jeremiah

I knew instantly that Jeremiah was THE petsitter I wanted! My gut impression was correct. He was perfect for us and more! Jerry is such a great guy and so reliable, honest, trustworthy, and communicative! He sent photos and videos, he walked my dogs, cuddled with them, dealt with pet issues, asked questions, an did an outstanding job caring for my 3 pets. I would have him return any time. He watched over the house and put out the garbage. He was neat and tidy and didn’t balk at anything! My animals loved him, it was obvious when we returned! When you have such a great petsitter as Jerry, you simply have a better trip and relax! Thank you a billion, Jerry! I highly recommend you!!!

Belinda & Mackie

Belinda was absolutely wonderful! She cared for our little Italian greyhound and left the house in beautiful order. She was communicative and prompt to respond throughout and before her stay. We are very thankful to have connected with her. Thank you, Belinda!

Eden

This is the third or fourth sit w Eden. She is great and knows my place well now. And she gets Miles. She will be coming back again in about a month as I am on a long trip so not around to welcome the next guest. I know i can trust Eden to leave the place in tip top shape. She not only took care of Miles but handled the watering of my plants and changing of the litter.

Estelle

Estelle was fantastic. She checked all the boxes and more - great communication even though the stay was short, Bogie and Leo were happy and well cared for, she went above and beyond with tidying up and cleaning our home for when we came home. We would definitely have her back. And she's very personable, Thanks Estelle..

Jessica

As with multiple past sits, perfect in every way!

Olga

Olga and Sampson were great house/pet sitters. She was very available via text and sent several pics/videos of the pets during our absence. She was organized and reliable and the pets really took to her and Sampson.

Catherine

Cathy is/was wonderful! Responsible, kind, fun, energetic and really cared for the 2 cats beautifully ! Administered all the medcations and connected daily with texts and photos! I cam home to an immaculate home which is such a gift after traveling and working! I would highly recommend anyone ask her to sit if she is in fact available! Thank you Cathy and cannot wait to see you again!!

carolina

This was our first time using zeewoi and we got lucky with Carolina! She worked with us, talked through any issues or miscommunications and was overall a great sitter. She took amazing care of our dog and we would definitely love to see her return in the future.

Heather

My Sheena was the litmus test for what a wonderful pet sitter Heather is. Sheena is my shy, skittish cat, but she warmed up to Heather pretty quickly. Heather sent photos daily, so I had peace of mind about how well my cats were doing. Heather left my home in immaculate condition -- probably cleaner than when I left. Not only do I feel like I have a new go-to pet sitter, I feel like I have a new friend. Heather is one of the best pet sitters I've had.

Catherine

We absolutely loved this sit.  Kate and Ben were lovely, so welcoming and very relaxed.  They kindly allowed us to have eggs from their chickens and produce from the allotment.  The dogs were utterly adorable, Damsel was constantly excited to see us and was just a joyous little girl.  Olive is a beautiful playful cockapoo, loves cuddles and walks well on the lead.  We loved our time in Overton, thank you Kate and Ben, we hope to meet again.

Barbara

Barbie is a very kind woman. She was very thorough with the details of what I needed to do to pet sit her wonderful pups. It was a pleasure doing this.

Alison

Looking after Moka and Brioche was an absolute pleasure. We had an incredible staycation in Alison's home. 

Alison was a fantastic host, kind, easygoing, very welcoming. Her apartment is gorgeous and it has nice swimming pool and gym. It is in a quiet location but has easy access to eatires, supermarkets and malls, and there is always the online grocery/delivery option.

We fell in love with her kittens. They are both very social, lovely, cuddly and playful. We really enjoyed playing with them, cuddling and just spending time together. We are going to miss them so much! They are the best! 

We highly recommend this sit to anyone who wants to stay with such comfort and much love. 

Thank you, Alison!

Montserrat

Montse was amazing with us. She was always in communication during her trip and was always very worried with the dogs. 
Mel (the big one) was like a teddy bear. So sweet and always wanted to stay with us, he even sleep in the bed with us. He loved to be petting and cuddling.
Meche (the smaller) was also very sweet, she liked a lot to stay in her bed, but she loved to be pet and cuddled with us in the sofa.
Both were the best dogs we take care so far. And we will miss them a lot.
