Shawn and Jennifer were the perfect pet sitters! We could not have wished for better people to look after Salt and Pepa! Not only were they meticulous in keeping up the cat`s routines, nurturing S&P`s idiosyncracies, and keeping them clean, fed, and happy in general, but they went above and beyond finding out what else they could want or need in a truly empathetic way. Shawn and Jen taught them new tricks, played with them often, stayed in with them most of the time and observed them and their characters so well, that it seemed after only a few days like they have known - and loved! - the cats for some time. Before we knew these sympathetic brilliant sitters with heart, brains, and instinct we were nervous about leaving our not even 2 year old cats with strangers for more than a month, especially since Salt can be a fragile soul who is very shy and needs a lot of time to bond with people if she does it at all. Not with these two people. They know how to handle cats professionally. Instead of overwhelming them, Shawn is present and offers them attention and playtime. We were able to fully enjoy our time away from home since they were communicating extremely well and in the frequency we agreed on. So we got pictures or videos of S&P every day and reports. The reports as well as the pics showed us that S&P had an extremely good time, and that after only a few days they behaved completely "normal", i.e. we recognized "our" cats from the way that Jen described them and photographed them. Shawn and Jen are both extremely reliable, down-to-earth and self-sufficient. IF there would have been an emergency, we could not have asked for better guardians. The welfare of the cats was always their first concern. What more can we say but that they are also very friendly, humorous, calm and intelligent human beings. When we came home S&P were like: "Oh.. you..? Ok.. But were are the other two?" In our living room was a carefully arranged series of printed out photographs by Jen the excellent photographer. We are so very thankful to Shawn and Jen that they agreed to look after our kitties - and our home, which they also did without fail - and we are truly happy to have made their acquaintance. Hopefully, we will meet again!

Helen and Val were excellent sitters. They have a calm energy that helped our kitties transition to having strangers in the home very quickly. Our Kiki is particularly difficult for new people to build trust with, but she warmed up very quickly with Helen and Val, nose-butting and purring just a couple days in. Our Paco is super timid, but Helen took extra time gently helping him acclimate to them and even spent more time with him more purposefully when I noticed he wasn't acting full warmed up yet in videos. They really went the extra mile and followed all our directions as we asked, checking in whenever they had a question. They always quickly responded to texts and sent pictures and videos when asked promptly. When our flight got delayed coming back and they had already left town themselves, they checked in with us to make sure the kitties were going to be ok. Genuinely good people who we would have back to watch over our littles again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!

This was my first experience with Zeewoi and I have to say I am so impressed! Jonathan and Victoria were amazing house sitters. They were punctual, sent us updates, including a couple of great photos, and left our house clean and tidy and even left us cookies! Our dogs were tired, happy pups. We were very pleased that they took them to the off leash dog park, so they had their usual amount of exercise. I’d highly recommend Jonathan and Victoria to house and pet sit for you. They are incredibly considerate people who truly seem to love pets!

We've had Brian sit three times for our two dogs and home now and are thankful for his care. We can tell he genuinely enjoys time with our dogs and is able to provide them with the care needed.  He also was willing to water the garden which was much appreciated.  Thanks again Brian!

Maddie and Juniper are so sweet and well behaved.  I strongly suggest this sit. It may seem like there are many responsibilities listed but the truth is, it is all very simple and just what is needed to keep the good behavior fluid.  I loved my time spent here.  Kenzie/Kenton clearly take very good care of their home and animals and were great communicators throughout.  The apartment is located within walking distance to New Seasons and just a little further is Whole Foods for grocery shopping.  There is a quaint bakery right behind the building that makes delicious scones to go with the coffee and many other local places to eat within walking distance.   I would happily sit for Maddie and Juniper again.
