We had a dilemma …. We wanted to go to a family reunion over 200 miles away that required an overnight stay and taking our pets wasn’t an option. We have a 14-year-old cocker spaniel who is deaf and only has one eye with limited vision, and we really wanted her to stay in familiar surroundings, along with the (almost) three-year-old golden retriever and the two cats. We couldn’t find friends available to cover us, so we turned to zeewoi. We looked for someone local as it was just for one night, and we are so glad we did! We read the bio for Beth and Syd and immediately felt a connection. We sent a message and to our delight Beth responded and indicated they could be available for the Saturday night and Sunday day. We arranged to meet and despite their busy work schedules, they found the time to come over and meet the gang, and upon meeting them our initial positive feelings were confirmed. They are such a lovely, interesting young couple, mature in outlook, fun and entertaining with a background in pets and animal welfare that gave us the confidence to know we had struck gold and were very lucky to have found them. They were totally unfazed with the medical needs of the spaniel and took great delight in the friendly nature of the retriever. The cats were given equal attention. They absorbed masses of information thrown at them regarding eating routines, feeding routines, looking after the property etc and after a short while we felt like we had known them for ages! They arrived on the Saturday morning at the time we had agreed. We left them with lists and pages of info and a feeling of complete trust and confidence and they did not disappoint us. Although it was only one night, upon our return the house and pets were exactly as we left them! They coped fantastically well with the aging spaniel who is very set in her ways, and the exuberant retriever who can require you to have eyes in the back of your head at times, and the two cats who do things on their terms only! In such a short time we have made two new friends and we now have them on speed dial should we ever need sitters in the future. And if we do, we would have no hesitation in calling Beth and Syd. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for animal and/or house sitters, wherever you may live!

Ashley, Ben and Bernie looked after our 10 dogs, 2 cats, budgie, bearded dragon and home for a week. They are a lovely family and they cared for our animals as if they were their own. Our dogs had so much fun while we were away that they hardly batted an eyelid when we returned. They kept us updated all week so we were able to relax knowing the animals were in great hands and the house was left clean and tidy too.

Alex was very welcoming and had all of the information read at hand.  I didn't really have any questions during the stay but she was very responsive to updates.

The house is new and very comfortable with a nice kitchen and living room area.  There are nice walking options for the dogs or just getting out.  It isn't near any stores or restaurants so you'll need to use delivery and want to have a car.

Frank and Bean were very sweet and easy to take care of.  Alex gave a lot of information about them but they really didn't need much.  They were good cuddlers, very food motivated and well behaved.  Frank will bark at dogs out the window sometimes but that is it.

I'd love to stay again sometime!

We had a wonderful time house and pet sitting for Jo and Billy. Their house is beautiful in a beautiful location and the perfect place to relax and enjoy the Sussex countryside. Lola was great fun and we really enjoyed taking her for walks through the forest very close by. Lola also travelled and behaved well in our car and was very well behaved on and off the lead. Mica, the cat, is also lovely, very vocal when wanting food or petting but mostly just slept in a basket during the day and was waiting patiently outside in the morning to come in. We so enjoyed this housesit, seeing the herds of deer and just relaxing before our journey back to our boat. Communication with Jo was very straightforward, we had all the information we needed and we kept in touch via WhatsApp throughout. Thank you so much Jo and Billy. We hope we can housesit for you another time.

Black Mountain is an extraordinary town, and I would return in a heartbeat, especially for this stay. It was a wonderful experience to enjoy the mountains while still being close to shopping, fantastic restaurants, and countless hiking trails and waterfalls. This house sit was the perfect blend of a fabulous and comfortable home with every amenity, including adorable pets and fresh eggs and produce from the garden. I got good exercise because Nolle was so much fun to chase. The kittens were absolutely precious and sweet. The homeowners provided detailed instructions and organized everything exceptionally well. They were generous, gracious, and easy to communicate with. I highly recommend this house sit!

Only good things to say! Bruno and Raquel are incredibly warm and helpful, the house is exactly as described and could not be better located in central Hanover, and the pets' routine could not be easier. 

Maya the dog deserves a special shoutout because she is such an endearing little sweetheart. We have two small children and she was gentle and engaging with even the two year old. Two weeks later he is still talking about how Maya is soft, cute, and nice. Similarly, our six year old declared she loved her very much within 1 min of meeting. So be warned....you will have a hard time saying goodbye! ;-)

Taking care of Birdie was an absolute pleasure! Birdie is a loving, cuddly kitty who will snuggle up to you on the sofa while watching television and lay there for hours enjoying your company. She is just adorable!

Kate’s home is lovely, with all the mod cons and situated in a beautiful area near Witney. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here, and was in communication with Kate the entire stay. I would highly recommend this sit to anyone looking for some peace and quiet in a lovely location. Thank you Kate for a wonderful stay!

We had an incredible three-week stay in Washington DC with our new buddy Lego! The house is wonderfully situated, in a charming residential neighborhood, close enough to the metro that getting into the city is a breeze. And we can't say enough about Lego, who is the cutest dog ever -- playful and cuddly, but also attentive and calm. We had so much fun walking, playing catch, and just hanging out with him.

The house is super comfortable, and has everything a housesitter could possibly need to feel comfortable. Nilanj and Allie were very welcoming, and always responsive while they were on their trip abroad. We immediately felt at home, and had no problems for our entire stay. The time in DC just flew by. 

It's only been a short time, but we're already missing Lego! Thanks Nilanj and Allie for a wonderful housesitting experience!
