Pet Sitters in Sarasota Springs, FL

Emily

Emily was a wonderful Pet sitter. This was my first time using Zeewoi and I couldn’t be more happy. Emily arrived exactly as we planned and left my house and doggie in perfect condition. We met briefly and she is very intelligent and caring.I would love to have her house and pet site anytime!!

Josephine & Garry

Jo and Garry and their 2 children stayed for just under 2 weeks. They took terrific care of the house and the pups. Since we were out of the country, we didn’t communicate often while we were gone, but did have several conversations during the application process. We also met the day we left to get them acquainted with the house and the pups. We also talked to coordinate the last day of the stay. We returned to a spotless house and happy dogs and would not hesitate to book with them again.

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.

Colleen

Colleen is the dream house sitter and pet minder, as well as being a kind, generous and inspirational human being. We're so fortunate she chose us for her Northern Irish travels and were delighted at the wonderful stories about her Zeewoi adventures. We wish her all the best on her future travels!

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!

Paula & Larry

Paula and Larry took great care of our active Lab and spunky old cat. Larry even walked the dog twice a day, which above and beyond the call of duty, since my Lab needs leash retraining. But they weren't as adept at leveraging the welcome guide for information compared with other sitters we've worked with. When they arrived we had to spend time going through information and topics that were all covered in the guide. But the pets received good attention and care throughout the weekend and we appreciate their help. And we're glad they've joined the zeewoi community!

Sanchia

Sanchia was loving and adoring. Took care of our doggies and our home. She was fantastic and friendly. We would love to have her stay again anytime!

Pamela

Pam did an excellent job taking care of our home and dog! We felt comfortable being away and didn’t worry about Arlo! Would welcome Pam back anytime!

Shari

This was Shari's 2nd sit here and we look forward to many more visits; pet sitting or just to spend time as friends. Shari LOVES animals and enjoys spending quality time with all of our pets (2 dogs, 2 cats, 1 hamster and 6 fish). We received videos, pictures and messages every day. Our neighbors enjoy Shari's outgoing personality, as do we. Our home was clean, laundry done and a warm welcome awaited us with desserts and pet stories. Upon our return, we see our pets loving on her as she hugs and kisses them. We know Shari has a busy schedule and may not have much time for zeewoi but we hope to see her again soon. Five star sitter for sure.

Leslie

We are so grateful for Leslie and Dan. They did a great job with our pets - Teddy and Lily. From the moment we have a video chat to get acquainted to in between/before arriving. They are very nice people. When they arrived, you can tell when people are "pet people." Our babies gravitated to them right away. We did a walk thru of the house and then departed for the airport. Going out of the country, we had no worries about them at our home and taking care of our fur babies. They sent photos with them and enjoying the backyard area as well as videos of them and the garden hose - Teddy and Lily's favorite thing to do. When we returned, our home was very organized and tidy. Would highly recommend for any pet visit.

Mary & Joel

Communication with Mary and Joel was easy from the start. Their reasons for wanting to house/pet sit were clear and appealing. As a retired professional couple they do this out of desire to travel well and get some puppy love since their last fur baby passed. We had a facetime call with them and knew they were the perfect fit for us for many reasons - one of which was they had several repeat sits. When they got to our house the first thing Joel did was sit on the floor to meet the pups!! This was very endearing! They arrived the night before we left to meet the dogs and get the lay of the land. Over dinner we learned that we had crossed paths professionally with each of them over the years. They asked great questions about the dogs care and we loved hearing about their upcoming travel plans. Mary wanted to know how we preferred they communicated with us while we were away so a clear expectation was set before we left. We got updates on the dogs walks and wellbeing each day each with Mary telling us how sweet the dogs were every time. We came home to a clean home, sheets and towels washed, trash taken out, etc. Mary left a note letting us know the last time they were fed and walked before they left. She also sent a photo of Parker lying in her packed suitcase...hmmmm..did she want to go home with Mary and Joel?? Obviously a sign she was a happy doggie! We recommend Mary & Joel to everyone!!

Jennifer

Tony is one of the cutest cat we ever sit! 😍
At first he was very cautious, but days after days he started to approach us and finally after 3-5 days he was staying with us and was very cuddly and affectionate. 

We had an amazing stay at Jennifer’s apartment with Tony. The apartment is beautiful and well located, 5min to a boat station, we used it very often!
Also there are all stores at 3min walk, and even a gym.

Jennifer is very nice host, we had great communication with her and everything went smoothly during our stay in Istanbul. Thank you again!
