Janine & Steven arrived on time and it was obvious that their love of animals was totally unquestionable. Their communication throughout their stay was very good. Although I put new batteries in the cat-flap, tv remotes, front door bell etc etc, the one thing that I didn’t think of was the smoke alarm in the Plant Room and of course, that decided to start beeping towards the end of their stay here. We asked them to turn the alarms off at the fuse box, but Steven said it was still beeping. When I got home, I turned it off and after 5mins that solved the issue until I could buy new 9v batteries the next day. They were very sweet and left us lovely flowers, a card and chocolates which was very thoughtful of them. Because we arrived home quite late, they’d already departed as they themselves had a long journey home. On first appearances the house looked tidy. They both preferred a bath to a shower, so I’d told them they could use the bath in my bedroom. Well, I don’t think it had been cleaned at all in the whole time they were here and I found myself at 10pm scrubbing the bath and toilets until they were clean! The bed sheet also was covered in blood spots and hair and I immediately felt I had to wash the bedding, mattress protector/pillow protectors even though by then it was approaching 10.30pm and we had our holiday washing to do as well. A real shame as otherwise we would have had no complaints and I hate putting anything negative but you have to be honest otherwise it makes leaving a review pointless.

We are delighted to share our exceptional experience with JJ and Louis as our house and pet sitters. As newcomers to the world of Zeewoi, we were a little nervous but our encounter with them was an entirely positive one. Without hesitation, we would absolutely reengage their services and recommend to others, they gave us total peace of mind when looking after our home and animals. Their exceptional communication skills were evident from the moment of booking and throughout their stay. They consistently sent updates and photos on WhatsApp, ensuring we were always in the loop. Any concerns or questions they had were promptly shared with us, demonstrating their transparency and trustworthy approach to the well-being of our pets and home. Their responsibilities involved looking after 2 dogs, 2 cats, a tortoise and fish and watering a large garden. Their task was undoubtedly challenged, as they also had to handle 2 untrained kittens, a situation that proved to be quite demanding at times, in terms of litter training and keeping doors shut etc. The weather was also atrocious during their stay but their positivity, adaptability and reliability shone through, making them an entirely trustworthy choice. They are clearly experienced with animals and evidently genially care about them, going above and beyond to make sure they were happy and cared for and even bought the kittens a little play tunnel. In fact I'm uncertain whether our pets even realised when we returned, which is quite unusual, as the dogs and cats usually sulk for days after we're back! Upon our return, we were pleasantly surprised to find a thoughtful gesture of wine, flowers, treats for the animials and a thank you note, a testament to their genuine care and appreciation for the opportunity and their love of animals. I would absolutely recommend JJ and Louis to anyone seeking top-notch house and pet sitters.

Omigosh, Katie and David are *amazing* house & pet sitters - my house has, I don't think, ever been as neat and tidy as it was when we returned from our vacation: K & D had kept it absolutely pristine and laundered everything, leaving nothing for us to do on our return. Arriving home exhausted at 11pm to a freshly made bed - fantastic.

Peeve and Warlock were utterly spoiled and pampered, too, with plenty of brushing and attention and general good care. They're eyeballing me now as I write, wondering where the Nicer People went. 

Katie & Dave kept us updated throughout our trip - I didn't have to worry once. Would have them around again in a heartbeat.

Thanks K&D! Appreciate you!

Kay and Paul were great petsitters. My animals were content and happy when I came home. They also left the house just the way they found it. Highly recommend.

Once again, we have had a housesitter whom we hope will become a lifelong friend. Elena was, in a word, great! She had instant rapport with our dog, Beppo, who treated her as though she had always been here. She sent us multiple pictures of him daily while we traveled, which assured us he was receiving excellent care and attention. Our apartment was also cleaner and neater than it was when we left. Elena is engaging, friendly, professional and an interesting conversationalist. We would be delighted to have her again.
