Pet Sitters in Placida, FL

Christi & Jay

What a lovely family, they really cared for our pets and home and overcame some unexpected problems with great communication and determination. We can highly recommend them as sitters and now consider them good friends

Jessica

Jessica is one of a kind. And with over 330 million people in the US alone – that is saying a lot. She is funny. Witty. And very insightful. And, of course, out cats loved her. She made notes of her observations of them and taught us a few things about them. So – again - we returned from another long trip to find four unhappy cats. We weren’t Jess. She was their favorite. If houses could show emotion, ours would say the same thing. Jess was better. Jack demanded that we ask her to come back, which of course we did. If Jess answers your call for a sitter, choose her. And if you get the chance, engage her in a conversation about her lived experiences. She is fascinating. Just ask our cats. They’ll tell you.

Tod

My husband and I were very satisfied with Tod and his housesitting for us during our 4 weeks absence. He was very reliable, uncomplicated and easy to communicate with. He took good care of our cat zora, our garden and the house. He even left us a little present before leaving. We definitely can recommend Tod as a sitter.

Samantha

Samantha provided amazing care for my little dog and cat! She communicated well, and sent photos while I was away to show me how well my pets were doing. My dog Shadow is quite shy, but Samantha must have a magic touch and she seemed to get comfortable quite quickly. The house was in perfect condition when I returned. I would love to have Samantha back again!

Judith

Jude and her partner took good care of our home, pets and livestock in terrible weather, which was probably difficult. We appreciate their help.

Rachelle & Louis

Boy, did I gey lucky with Rachelle and Lou! I am so happy with their excellent care of our home and our pets. They both went above and beyond. Lou performed a few repairs. They organized my cupboards, creating order out of chaos. They tidied up and left our home cleaner than when they arrived. Our home sparkled. And we were treated to home made chocolate chip muffins. Written communication and pictures were excellent. Our pets, Poshie and Leo, were well fed, loved up and contented. Did they miss us? I doubt it. Rachelle's stated goal was to get my skittish and grumpy cat, Leo, in her lap . It worked, even if it was only for a minute for a start. If they were here longer, he would have made himself at home in her lap. Poshie overcame her skepticism of stangers in the house and cuddled up to Rachelle and Lou. I sincerely hope to have them back for future pet sits. Any time!

Rebecca & William

Fantastic! Rebecca and Will were exceptional. My kitty was well cared for and so happy when I returned.

Misty

Misty, was great with follow up and following through from the very beginning. She communicates very clearly and followed our exiting instructions perfectly. Chi fell in love & while Mayhem always misses his grandma. I know he enjoyed her as well as she was here working from home. we came home to sweet thank you note and immaculate, clean house! I would definitely recommend Misty and of course have her again.

Deirdre

Deidre was our first ever sitter on zeewoi, so we were probably a bit more anxious about leaving our girls than other veteran users. Deidre was great about checking in 2x a day with photos, communicating any questions she had about our home, and left the place as clean as it was when she arrived! We felt SO much more at ease during our 7 day trip knowing that they were in good hands. When we got home, our kitties did not appear stressed out at all — while happy to see us, they were much more calm than when we would use drop-in sitters. We would definitely recommend!

Natacha

Natacha took excellent care of our two cats, as well as our home. She was easy to communicate with, friendly, and organized, and left our home just as it was when we left. I would recommend her without hesitation!

Stephen & Valerie

Val and Stephen were wonderful! I couldn’t have asked for better pet sitters. They are very friendly, patient, clean, communicative, and really cared for my pets and plants. My one cat was trying to outsmart them with the food she wanted, but they honored my wishes and in the end my cat ate how she should. They also were very easy going when my A/C broke towards the end of their trip. I felt terrible they had to deal with the heat, but they were very gracious about it. Overall, they are great people and I’d highly recommend selecting them as your pet sitter!

Maria

Maria was great. Well organized and communicative. She sent pictures of the cats every day.

Sonia

Sonja has a spacious, cosy home with plenty of original features. A comfy bed & a well equipped kitchen. We met Sonja and her five daschies, goats, doves & pony in advance of the sit. The dogs are a little family of great character & very cute. They don't require walking but have plenty of land to run around on. It's quite funny watching them charge out of the back door together, going as fast as their little legs will take them, to chase something they have heard.😄They love to be as near as possible to you when you sit down. Juno & Bindi like to be the closest, but we tried to give equal shares of cuddles to them all. Sonja did warn us they sometimes have the odd wee/poo accident in the house, which did happen a few times but they have their own area to sleep in which keeps things contained.We made sure they had all been out for a loo stop before bedtime which definitely helped. Their recall from the garden to the house is pretty good, you may find one might take longer if they have found a particularly interesting smell, but they do come back.
The goats, horses & doves are very simple to feed & don't require any cleaning out. You have to watch Marygold, one of the goats, as she is super clever & if you don't close their food shed door properly, she's very capable of loosening the bolt with a combo of head butting and nimble teeth! 🐐We found making sure the bolt was facing downwards & a small piece of wood in the slot, foiled her plans to get seconds 😉
The house is situated in a lovely area between Swindon & Oxford. Country vibes but with easy access to the main road & local supermarkets nearby in Faringdon. Also, a set of white chalk horses are nearby to visit. The little village across the road is very pretty, nice for a short walk. There is a pub but check opening times, it was closed when we visited but has good reviews for food. All in all, a nice sit to do.

Zoya

We had a lovely stay in JP & Zoya’s beautiful home while looking after their Chow Chow, Rum. We were made to feel right at home in their space we we appreciated so much. Rum was full of character which made him a breeze to look after during our stay. Thanks again 😊

Roz

I really enjoyed my stay at Roz’s with Christoff & Cleo. It was a lovely long weekend break, and Ware is the perfect location between countryside and city. I really enjoyed the Saturday morning canal walk & even managed to squeeze a few hours in East London (25 mins by train). 

Christoff and Cleo are both lovely characters - Cleo a dinky chatty sweetheart who loves a cuddle, whilst Christoff is a real snoozer and gentle giant. Both of them were happy for some company but very chilled at the same time. 

Ware is a great town and the flat is in a brilliant location, just 5 mins from the high street with lots of cute trinket shops and places to get a decent coffee. A good sized Tesco is a 3 min walk, and lots of restaurants and pubs round the corner too. 

The flat is a lovely little sanctuary that’s beautifully decorated with a real uniqueness and cosy-feel to it. Roz was friendly, welcoming and easy to communicate with, providing all necessary info upfront & checking in when needed. Thank you for having me and providing a lovely few days of downtime!

Diane

We had a fantastic stay at Diane and Trevor's place! From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcomed. They are amazing communicators, keeping us well-informed about their furry family's needs, as well as the best hikes, restaurants, and shops in the area. Their home is beautifully nestled next to the forest, perfect for stunning walks with Frankie and Mable, their wonderful dogs. These pups are such a joy—loving cuddles, playtime, and cozying up by the fire after a rainy walk. And then there's Dave, the sweet cat who enjoyed a little pet while munching on her food. The whole experience was so comfortable and lovely. We truly felt right at home and would absolutely love to pet/house sit for them again in the future! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a serene and friendly place to pet/house sit.

Michelle

Had a wonderful time house sitting for Leo. Such a cute, fun little guy who loves his walks and was playful and enjoyed snuggling too.  Michelle's home is so beautiful, quiet, and comfortable and she was very clear about everything that needed to happen. Highly recommend this sit if you ever get the chance! Super fun!

Lisa

Lisa’s home offers endless views of the ocean as do the many trails that run through Pacifica. Loki is an excellent hiking companion, and we ventured up and down the trails – I highly recommend the Baquiano Trail with the trailhead a short 4-minute drive from the house – and  then rested at home. I was lucky enough to see dolphins,  the waterspouts of whales, and the daily early evening gathering of pelicans! Cleo is sweet and spunky and will leave her toy for you in different places while Meggie lives her best elder cat life sleeping in her heated cat bed.
