Beth and Matthew have been my first house sitters - and I was their first house sit too. Beth and Matthew have been great. I was a little nervous as this was the first time I've the zeewoi platform and service. Beth contacted me to let me know that one of my dogs had a sore on her chest and sent me a video to let me see and decide what to do. We agreed my dog needed to be seen by a vet and within a few hours my dog had antibiotics. Beth even popped into a shop to buy my dog a jumper to wear as the vet had recommended this to stop her scratching the sore. When I got home Beth had washed all their bedding and the house was clean and tidy. Both Beth and Matthew are a lovely couple and I would definitely recommend them both if you are looking for reliable and trustworthy house and pet sitters.
Erica was great! Easy to communicate with and very self -sufficient when we ended up being out of service for several days. Pingo and the house were clearly in good hands, we came back to a spotless house with a freshly made bed and a happy dog. We'd definitely have Erica again!
I am so grateful to Victoria for taking such wonderful care of my elder cats,, Zoe and Mischief, my home and my garden! She stayed in touch, and even sent photos of Zoe and Mischief, which further reassured me that my kitties and my home were in good hands while I was away. In short, I feel lucky to have connected with Victoria through zeewoi, wouldn't hesitate to call on her again, and recommend her without reservation.
This was my first time using zeewoi. Not only did I have to prepare my home for a guest but prepare myself for leaving my boys with someone I had only met through a zoom call. Right away, I was put at ease as Sharon just gravitated right to my boys. She asked questions about info that I had missed in my welcome pack that made me rest assured that she was on the ball. Throughout my trip, Sharon kept in touch with me about how the boys were getting along... I was so relieved hearing that their usual playful selves was apparent. Given that our flight home was going to be late, she insisted on waiting until we were heading out of the airport before leaving the boys with their last walk until we came home. When we walked through our front door, the boys were chilling out, our home was spotless, and she even washed the bedding. I can recommend Sharon with 100% certainty that your pets will be in great hands. Thanks Sharon for everything.
Jaclyn was a wonderful sitter for our dog Tucker! She was always quick to respond to communications, she was easy-going and excited to sit with Tucker, she shared updates (with pictures) while we were away, and she left our house cleaner than when we left - she even ran the dishwasher, which we forgot to do before we left! She and Tucker bonded immediately, and when we returned home it was clear that he had a great time with Jaclyn. We can't recommend her highly enough!
I can’t say enough good things about Felicia! She was willing to come over ahead of time so we could meet her. Lele took an instant liking to her (and I think it was mutual).😁 Felicia showed up on time, checked in on a regular basis while I was away, and sent photos of Lele, too. I tend to over prepare, and Felicia was accepting of that and helped me feel okay about my preparation and absence. I felt very comfortable leaving, knowing the most important thing, Lele, was well taken care of. This is my first time using zeewoi, so I didn’t really know what to expect. Felicia far exceeded all of my hopes and expectations. I would absolutely love to have Felicia come back again!
I am so glad that my cat, Duque, and I met Sharon! She is a wonderful person, very kind with pets, thorough with house care and communicative. Sharon's cleaning (and brownies!) went above and beyond and my cat did not seem to have missed me much when I got home. I recommend Sharon if she applies for your sit and we hope to welcome her back to our home one day.
Julie and Adrian were ideal pet and house sitters. Julie and Damian are very friendly and made sure to go over details and ask questions when they arrived. We came home to very happy and contented pets. Our dog and cat clearly got lots of love and attention (also clear from the great photos that Julie and Adrian sent us). The house was immaculate when we came home. We could not ask for better, more trusted, house sitters.
Although they are experienced pet sitters this was their first sit with zeewoi and they were wonderful. Jyoti (our cat) was completely at ease and spent plenty of time on their laps. The chickens were well looked after and they managed the broody one efficiently. Excellent communication before and during the house sit. They followed our detailed instructions conscientiously and left the house clean and tidy. They cooked a meal for us on our return and we enjoyed getting to know them. We would welcome them back any time and highly recommend them for future sits.
Lea was so wonderful, we highly recommend her. She was friendly and communicative throughout, sending us daily updates and photos. We returned back to a beautifully cleaned house and a very happy cat, we are so grateful- she was an absolute delight

Was our first time away from our dogs. I was definitely nervous about having someone in my home that i didn't know. After the first meeting, my fears were relieved. Very professional operation! You can tell they love what they do. Kristin was wonderful. The dogs loved her! She was very caring and reliable. Her communication while we were gone was top-notch. I was updated after every visit with text and photos. She left such an impression on my boys. They were waiting by the window for her to come for a few days after we got back. I was able to enjoy my vacation instead of worrying. The boys want to thank Kristin and GPP as well. I will use GPP again.
I feel so comfortable having Tracy care for my pets while I'm away! Incredible service, and I feel they genuinely care about my pets. This is the only in home pet sitting service I will use!
Really thankful to Gentle Pet Protectors. The visits and walks from Kristin, Ruth, & Danie for my dog Ivy have been fantastic every single time!! And the quick communication from Lisa is great. is A weight of my shoulders knowing Ivy is in good hands when I have long work days.
Lisa is a Amazing person. My dog fell in love with her. She has so much patience and let my dog sniff all over so she would be comfortable. She took the time to reassure me all would be okay, show me around, She even asked ahead of time if there was anything special she could do to make my pups stay easier for both of us. If there was 10 stars, I'd have given her 10. I Highly recommend her ( so does my vet, who only had amazing things to say about Lisa) 💞🦴🐕
Lisa and her team have taken care of my cats for well over a decade. The first time I met Lisa she said "I'll take care of your cars as if they were my own" That has been 100% true for anyone on her staff. I NEVER worry when I'm gone because I know my cats are well cared for! I trust Lisa and her staff implicitly and give them an unconditional recommendation.
Absolutely a pleasure to work with! My husband and I work full time jobs and Lisa helped us out when our puppy wasn’t able to go to doggie daycare due to lack of vaccinations. She not only got in contact with us immediately, but scheduled times that would work best for him and his potty breaks. Extremely trustworthy and gives you the ease of mind that your pets are getting taken care of. I am beyond impressed from the communication to the notes and updates left from our sitter Kaley. I will be referring them out to anyone who needs a sitter or dog walker!
Lisa is awesome. We were on the road traveling through Michigan and decided to visit The Henry Ford Museum. Our Toy Poodle is not a service dog and was not allowed to go with us. I reached out to Lisa and she re-arranged her schedule to accommodate us. She was able to keep our Toy Poodle for 2 days, while we enjoyed The Henry Ford Museum and all the extras at The Henry Ford. Thank you Lisa, you are awesome.
We just started using Gentle Pet Protectors and couldn’t be happier. We get communication and pictures with every visit and our dogs look happy and well cared for while we are gone.
Love Lisa and her team, especially Angie and Claudia. My dogs are like my children, and it goes without saying their safety and comfort is my top priority. I have never had a moment of concern when Angie has stayed with them, and Claudia has been very helpful when planning a trip.
We had Maya as our dog walker and she was fabulous! Every dog walk we would be left a detailed note of how the visit went with Murphy. She would feed and water him as we liked and would also bring in our mail for us. If you are looking for a reliable trust worthy dog walker this company is the company that you should hire! Keep up the great work.
