Pet Sitters in Glenorchy

Gaye

Gaye gave regular updates, my dogs were well and happy when we got home, the house was clean and tidy and sheets washed and on the line. Very happy with Gaye.

Laura & Paul

Laura & Paul were lovely & I felt totally confident leaving ‘the kids’ in their care. Good communication during their sit. Prior to sitting they asked everything they needed to know about their individual needs & personality which was very reassuring. Would not hesitate recommending them to perspective travellers. Thanks so much guys. Sorry if the bed was crowded at night 🥰

Eliza

We really lucked out finding Eliza and Brad to stay at our house for two weeks over Christmas/New Year. They were so kind, very tidy and just super with both of our pets. They sent photos of both of the animals throughout our trip, and it was clear they had a great connection with them! The house was left in an excellent state (very clean!)- and they went above and beyond trying to help sort out garbage collection over the holidays. We were also surprised by Christmas gifts from their home country, which was such a sweet touch. It’s a pity they don’t live closer, but we’d highly recommend them as a lovely young couple who did a fabulous job with our home and our pets.

Jane & Anthony

Jane and Anthony were amazing! Aside from being lovely people, they took such great care of our staffy, sending regular updates and pics which was reassuring for us as it's hard for us to leave him behind. Our home was very well looked after while we were away, with Jane going above and beyond to keep our pool area extra clean, and washing linen for our return. I would absolutely love to have Jane and Anthony back again and would have no hesitation in recommending them as fantastic sitters.

Gareth

We had a very positive experience with Gareth as our housesitter. He was responsive and easy to communicate with pre, during and post housesit. We were happy to return to a very clean and tidy house, a neat garden, and most importantly, a happy and healthy Labrador!

Joff

Am now back so can give Joff the review he deserves as he has restored my faith in zeewoi completely. Having had a rather strange experience with my first sitter who apparently thought taking my dog 2hrs up country for a weekend was a normal thing to do, Joff on the other hand could not be more different looking after Truffle with wonderful care & love in our home. I had daily updates of her exploits on different walks & her quirky expressions in the house or her just asleep on the sofa. She looked happy, calm & well looked after. On my return the house was clean & tidy with the fridge stocked & fesh bread on the side a simple pleasant gesture which showed Joff’s personality & which I appreciated very much. Joff has an open invitation to return & care for Truffle & the house whenever our dates align. Thanks so much Joff hope to see you again.

Stella

I struck gold with Stella – she was the most amazing sitter and truly went above and beyond. From the first time I contacted her, Stella was great with communication, I had a video call and immediately knew she could be relied upon and understood my concerns and requirements regarding my dog and cat. I liked the way she asked lots of questions & seemed genuinely interested in my animals. Stella arrived a few hours earlier so we could go on a dog walk together, where I could explain everything in more detail. I could see instantly how natural and relaxed she was with my dog - particularly as she is a young and energic lurcher! Whilst we were away Stella was excellent at communicating, we received regular updates and photos and videos of our pets, and it was obvious she bonded immediately with my dog. She was conscientious and quick to alert and follow up on any concerns, which I appreciated. I found her incredibly organised, intuitive and thoughtful – all the qualities you look for in a pet-sitter! She is clearly an animal lover - and has a particular affinity with dogs, demonstrated by the fact that she has a rescue dog at home. My cat enjoyed her company too (when he wasn’t sleeping all day :) It was such a relief and we were able to fully relax on holiday, knowing that both animals were being well taken care of. I really cannot fault her dedication. The handover was smooth and we came home to very happy animals! She made sure my dog had been on a long walk so she settled during the afternoon with treat puzzles to keep her busy. Our home was left clean and tidy – more so than when we left it! You wouldn't know anyone had been there. She’d stripped the bed and put the sheets in the washing machine and washed all the towels which was very helpful too, especially coming back after a long journey. Stella is a lovely, friendly person with a beautiful soul, and I felt completely relaxed leaving her to take care of everything. I highly recommend her and really hope she comes to sit for us again – my pets loved her. Thank you Stella!

Edward & Maggie

Maggie and Edward very kindly looked after our animals while we were in the UK. What a lovely couple. We met beforehand and we felt immediately at ease and confident that the pets would be very well looked after and happy. We were very happy with everything and they left our home clean and tidy and our animals very healthy and happy. In fact they found a great way to improve Ebony’s skin condition! Thank you Maggie and Edward. Hope to see you again soon! Xxx

Robin

Robin was the ideal housesitter-- great with pets and the wild birds we nurture; and great with house and plants. Fully recommend her.

Marnee

We recently had the pleasure of having Marne and Barry house/pet sit for us. It was our first pet sit and I was a little apprehensive about leaving strangers in my house with my beloved 2 French Bulldogs. Once we confirmed them as sitters they regularly touched base until they arrived and we organize the day before we left for them to come over meet my 2 fur babies and show them around the house. We where immediately put at ease by their friendly, enthusiastic nature. While we were away we had regular photo and message updates which made mine and the kids day. On returning home after being away for 12 days the dogs where happy to see us but not as excited as I thought they would be which leaves me thinking that they where very well loved and cared for. Our house was immaculate (cleaner than when we left) and my newly planted garden and grass was looking amazing. A neighbor even commented on how good our house sitter was as they where always out in the garden. I have no hesitation in recommending Marne and Barry for future sits and if we happen to go away again I can only hope they are nearby and would like to come back. Thank you so much for looking after my fur babies

Sabine

Excellent sitter and just really great person! Sabine was easy to communicate with and it was evident right away that she had a gentle and genuine approach to caring for our dogs. This really put us at ease during our travels knowing everything was well taken care of. Sabine went above and beyond with cleaning and tidying the home when she left. Highly recommend her services and would definitely use her again in the future. Super!

Cassandra

Cassandra is very responsive to the message and caring for my Barney (scottish terrier) and snowball (dometic cat). She left the room nice and clean.

Janice

Marcia was such a great sitter!  Chip adored her and she gave him lot's of love and attention.  She communicated great, sent me pictures and videos of him while I was away and took excellent care of my home.  I would love to have her back again and would highly recommend her for you fur babies!

Jim

What a pleasure! Sweet, loving, and fun dogs, cozy SF pad, and fun outings all around town. Definitely recommend, and hope to be back with Bella and Beau sooner than later. :) Nicki

Sheila

I really enjoyed sitting for Sheila and her fur family! The location is perfect for walking the dogs on the beach or in nearby wooded Lincoln Park.  I also enjoyed playing ball with them in their fenced in yard.  The cats were very easy to care for and affectionate.  Sheila's home has a to-die-for view of the Sound with beautiful sunsets. A great location and experience, would highly recommend!
