Emily and Greg were our first housesitters and it was a wonderful start for us. They went out of their way to ensure that we were comfortable with us and even more important, that Rebel was comfortable with them. I was fortunate they lived in the next neighborhood over so they stopped by several times to walk with Rebel and me and the day before our trip, Emily came by to take him out alone to ensure there were no issues with a stranger coming into the home while we were gone. In addition, Rebel is a large rescue dog and, although he is usually well behaved, none of us were sure how he would be when we left as we adopted him during the pandemic and we have been home pretty much 24/7. In addition, she had to attempt to keep Rebel from consuming too many cicadas which was a chore in itself. All went perfectly. Our house was left tidy and she even had to clean up some things that Rebel got into - he loves pillows, tissues and plastic bags. This was by no means her fault, we left them where he could get them.....and he did:) Emily communicated with me by text daily and we talked about how it went once we returned home. We came home to a happy dog which of course made us very happy and more comfortable with doing this again. Feel free to reach out to me if you need more information about this housesit. I would be delighted if they were able to housesit for us in the future and recommend them without reservations.

Ben was a great house sitter and amazing pet sitter. We honestly felt like his care and compassion with the animals was beyond compare - and I think they miss him! This was our first time using Zeewoi and all of our uncertainty was erased as soon as we first talked to Ben. Merci Beaucoup for a making this easy!

I had lovely time pet sitting for Lou and Kitty in Austin.  Kelsey was responsive in communicating with me both before and throughout my stay, ensuring I had all the information I needed. 

There were storms that came in while I was there and I made sure to give Kelsey an update about Lou and get him the support he needed with his medication.  Kelsey was responsive and appreciated the communication.  

Her home has a cool Austin vibe, making it a comfortable and fun place to stay. The Lou and Kitty were an absolute delight — both were friendly and great to be around.  

I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitting experience. Highly recommend!

It was truly a great experience! My SO and my brother stayed in their home for a week. A beautiful home, great kitchen and 3 lovely dogs. The dogs are large with lots of energy. We tried walking them to use up some of their energy but they are not trained and pulled constantly on their leashes so that didn’t work. They easily kennel and are very friendly. 

All in all it was a wonderful first experience for pet/house sitting!

Had a lovely time with a gorgeous kitty in Harpenden. A nice town and also close to some lovely river walks. Brianna was welcoming and helpful and stayed in contact whilst away. Lovey time. Highly recommend this sit.

Great sit. Ajax and Apollo are sweethearts. Might take a few days for them to warm up but when they do you can expect some belly-rub-requests, lots of them. The apartment is tastefully designed and clean. It's a 20 minute walk to Cholargos metro and a further 20 to the centre so bear that in mind if you're here for trips in the centre. Anita and Daniel were great, couldn't ask for better hosts. We would happily sit for them again.

JODY
Our petsitting experience at Jody’s was excellent. Her cat Tully and her mom’s dog Ace were sweet and cuddly; the house was beautiful and in a good location within an easy drive to the beach, restaurants, and shopping. It was easy to follow the detailed instructions Jody left and the communication was good. We recommend this pet owner and her well-behaved, affectionate fur babies.

We had a wonderful time sitting for Nancy and Eric's kitties and taking care of their beautiful home. It was smooth and easy getting oriented to their place and they made us feel totally at home in their warm, light-filled sanctuary. 

The cats are a delight to care for-- playful, sweet, and adorable. 

Everything runs smoothly at the home and when we had the occasional question come up, Eric was very responsive. 

We'd be happy to house-sit again in the future and hang out with your cute kitties!
