Maxine took wonderful care of my cat, Mimi. This was my first time using zeewoi, and Maxine was very kind and told me how the site and the sits work. As a newbie, I highly appreciated this information. Maxine and her partner David are really kind people that genuinely love cats. Maxine sent me updates of Mimi daily (we had agreed on daily updates) and the videos proved that Mimi trusted Maxine and David and felt safe around them. This was a huge relief during my time away and I was able to relax knowing Mimi was well looked after. Even though my apartment is not within a walking distance to the shops, Maxine never complained and made her own arrangements. Maxine also bought toys for Mimi which Mimi plays with often. This was a pleasant surprise which was highly appreciated. Maxine also engaged my cat often and played a lot with her. I appreciated this a lot as my cat loves playing with wands and toys. The apartment was super tidy, to an extent I didn't think was ever possible haha. Maxine is an experienced sitter, which was evident in the way she organised everything for the sit. During the week approaching Maxine's sit, I had a checklist with a number of house related tasks to complete. Due to time constraints, a couple of these tasks were incomplete, but Maxine did not complain although I know that the completion of these tasks would have made Maxine's visit smoother. Overall, I am really grateful to Maxine and David who were so gentle with Mimi. Communication was excellent and friendly and I highly recommend Maxine as you can trust that your cat(s) will be completely safe and well looked after.

I had a great time in Milly's beautiful and well located home. Milly is an amazing host, very warm and friendly. Ludo is just the sweetest dog ever, very calm and easy to care for. Would recommend. :)

A fantastic housesit - many thanks again for the opportunity. Bruce is brilliant, and the flat is very cool in a great location in East London, with easy access to a park. Sorry for the very delayed review :)

Edwin & Krystal
We had a lovely time in Nagoya! The house was great and the pets were very loving and warmed up to us very quickly. It was easier to walk them as the two of us, as they are very strong and will pull. Krystal and Edwin were very responsive and kind, they made us feel at home. We're very grateful for our stay.

I had a great time with Fishy and Teddy. They are very sweet boys, enjoying human companions and following me everywhere! Unfortunately during my stay Fishy seemed to catch a cold and hence less active than normal. He was strong and recovered quickly.

Sara and Johnathan were very welcoming hosts. Sara picked me up from the station and showed me around the area. They also left very thorough and detailed instructions. During my stay we kept in touch. I really appreciate their kindness and understanding.

The house is conveniently located near the town centre and the seaside, with shops around. I would highly recommend this sitting opportunity to any sitter!

Spending Christmas with Kona and Shae at Tim and Brenda’s place was very enjoyable. Even though they were away the house was festively decorated and I felt right at home. There is an off lease dog park minutes away and once I figured out the harnesses it was an easy walk over (hook them up wrong and you’ll find out how strong the dogs are).

The dogs have a good routine, Shae is playful in the house and enjoys a good snuggle, although more aloof, Kona likes some head rubs and good boys. The sleep in kennels at night and settle in very well.

Be prepared to keep ALL of your stuff out of Shae’s reach, she still loves to chew. You’ll be well protected by Kona’s bark but he’s a gentle soul.

There is a great gym in the basement and everything you could possibly want for cooking. Tom’s communication is excellent, any questions I had were answered almost immediately.

I hope to spend more time with Kona and Shae.

This was the most perfect first housesit experience we could’ve asked for! The cabin was beautiful, and absolutely loved the dogs. Most importantly, Soni was the most friendly and helpful person, we felt so well supported! Couldn’t have asked for a better experience :)
