Cat Sitters in Gloucester County, VA

Robyn

Robyn was fabulous! She took really good care of our kitties, making sure they were constantly entertained, well-fed, and loved. She checked in with daily.updates and pictures, which were very helpful. Things went a little sideways when our cats got a bad batch of food - the first time this has happened in three years of cat ownership - and of course it happened while we were away! Luckily for us, Robyn helped to make sure they got back to good health and put them first. Whoever gets Robyn next will be very lucky to have her as their sitter.

Sharon

The BEST! Sharon took care of our old tripod, Penny, and the young energetic dog, Paco, like royalty. The old tripod needs extra TLC and has some incontinence issues so it wasn't all that easy. She came over to walk through the house and meet the pups the day before we left for 2.5 weeks and sent regular updates and pictures while we were away. We came home to a spotless house and happy dogs. Thank you Sharon!!!

Kristen

Our cats fell head over heels in love with Kristen to the point where they were upset we came home. She helped us out when we were in a real last-minute bind and was so communicative - sending us lots of updates and pictures. We would recommend her to anyone!

Robert & Danna

Robert and Danna are absolutely the best house sitters you could ask for! They sat for us before and were so wonderful with our pets and home, and we were thrilled they returned for another house sit. They are so organized, thoughtful and considerate of our home and our pets routines. Our neighbors all thought they were amazing and kind, too. They shared photos and updates throughout their stay. They also contacted us when there was a potential issue with our dryer. How amazing is it that they took the time to troubleshoot a potential issue? We hope Robert and Danna will return to our home again one day. They are simply the best!

RICHARD

This was the first time Ava has had a pet sitter. Richard was great with her and took her for long walks and over activities. He also spent time with her prior to the house sitting dates. I felt very comfortable and grateful that Richard was caring for Ava. She was happy and relaxed when I returned. Thank you!

Catherine & Andrew

Catherine and Drew were wonderful- they were so great with our dogs and were so considerate! Our flight home got canceled and they even came back to walk them after they had left! We would love to have them sit anytime!

Emily

Great sitter! she took care of our dogs, our home, our plants, she was amazing! Very responsive, sent me pics of the doggies and communication was great.

Brandi

Brandi took great care of our house, 3 cats, and garden during the latter part of a week long sit. Despite not being able to greet her in person (since we split the sit into two segments), Brandi handled things like a pro. She FaceTimed us upon arrival to go over details, and found one of our cats, Lil, who was hiding after being spooked since the previous sitter left that morning. Brandi coaxed Lil out from under the bed and gave her a late breakfast, which made us feel at ease. She also sent a video of our elder cat Neil coughing, just to make sure it was normal, which we really appreciated. Brandi sent us regular photos and updates, and as she got more comfortable, let two of the cats outside to have some supervised play time in the nice weather. She was attentive, self-sufficient, asked great questions, and made sure the cats didn't eat each others' food! She seemed to grow more comfortable daily, even saying she loves our little prancess, Lil, who can be tricky sometimes! Additionally, she watered our young trees and some new transplants when requested, as we were concerned about the lack of rain during the week. We also appreciated Brandi's open communication, particularly when a concern came up for us, and we were able to work together to resolve it quickly. We came home to a clean and tidy house, happy cats, and a little homemade treat she left for us. We'd be happy to have her sit for us again. Thanks, Brandi!

Jenny

Jenny was a joy to have watch our home and yellow lab for a week. Excellent communication and follow through

Sabrina & Caroline

Sabrina and Caroline were wonderful. They were very concerned for the welfare of my pond and fish. There was an issue with my pond and Sabrina took care of handling the situation to my satisfaction. They are both delightful and I felt that if anything came up, they would be able to handle it and keep me informed.

Carolyn

Carolyn was a good sitter and took care of both our home and our pets well.

Trinity & Taylor

I was wonderful to work with Trinity leading up to and during the sit. Macy, my dog, looked so happy in the updates Trinity shared during my trip. And she kept the house clean and the plants alive and healthy. Would recommend her to anyone.

Annie

Our first experience with Zeewoi and it was just great . Ruth and Brian were very easy to communicate with and left the house and garden immaculate- they also coped v well when asked to help with our horse, which was a new experience for them .We look forward to the next time . Thank you

Anna

Wow wow wow wow. Noelle, “the French nanny” est magnifique!! 

Such a caring and peaceful energy, which was so wonderful for our sensitive kitty, Ebi. 

Attentive to details, Noelle made sure she understood our preferences and needs and those of our cat and our home. Her communication was excellent - though we weren’t online much during our travels, we loved reconnecting and reading and watching the lastest Ebi updates. Noelle left the place incredibly clean which was such a treat to return feeling fresh. 

It feels like Ebi misses Noelle and a genuine bond was made. Hearts full. We’re so grateful and hope to have Noelle back in the future!
