Pet Sitters in South Freeport, ME

Carissa

Carissa was very responsive and my cat seemed significantly less stressed after staying with her than when I have someone come check on her while traveling. I would definitely have her come sit again! This was my first experience with homesitters and I learned a lot. I think I would have liked to hear from Carissa more during the sit but whenever I reached out I got a prompt response. My house was clean and my cat was happy - can't ask for more!

Emily

Emily was the ideal sitter! She was very responsive and was great at sending update photos while we were away. Emily is very active and got our pup out for lots of exercise. She left our home in pristine condition. I absolutely would recommend her to anyone looking for a house/Petsitter. Thank you Emily!

Lauren & Gui

Lauren and Gui were the perfect sitters for us. They are sweet, kind and a pleasure to meet. They watched over Archer with great affection and responsibility. This was our first experience with zeewoi and it couldn’t have gone any better. They arrived the night before the sit which gave us a chance to enjoy a beautiful dinner together and get to know each other, and go over details and Archer’s needs. We had a good communication during the sit, with updates and photos. It really was a pleasure to spend the evening with them and we’re grateful they were so caring towards Archer. With any luck we’ll get a chance to have them back in the future!

Stephanie

Stephanie was absolutely amazing! Her communication, care and commitment are unsurpassed. She was prompt, texted us updates and photos throughout the week and left our home immaculate (which is no easy task during shedding season and rainy New England days), she even washed her linens before she left! She took amazing care of our fur babies, was diligently committed to their routines and feeding schedules and walked them daily (even in the rain)! Stephanie took genuine interest in our dogs right from the moment they met...she has a gentle approach and big love for animals and it shows. Our pack loved her! Thank you, Stephanie, we hope we can have you back in Newport again, soon! :) This was also our first use of a zeewoi -- previously we paid family and friends for less than satisfactory dog/home care. We are beyond grateful to have found this great service! (We think we're a little spoiled "right out of the gate" with such a great match (Stephanie) first time around.) We are comfortably looking forward to more travel this year because of this initial experience!

Lacey

Lacey and Jay were such an amazing house sitters and pet care takers to my 10 year old cat, Bane. I cannot recommend them enough for future house-sits, they were supremely responsible, understanding to my house's quirks, responsive and gave great updates, thoughtful, organized, and very clean! I am so grateful to both Lacey and Jay for allowing my trip to Scotland to be as fun as possible, as I didn't worry about a thing with them at the helm back home. Many thanks to you both!

Rosemary

This was my first time with zeewoi and I couldn't be happier. Rosemary was great! We talked on FaceTime and then met in person prior to her stay which made me very comfortable leaving my boys. Everyday I received photos and an update on the crazy group ( she had 2 young dogs to deal with). When I arrived home the dogs were happy, the house looked great, the bed was made with clean linens and all towels washed. Wow, I couldn't ask for more. I only hope I can entice Rosemary to come back to Waynesboro in the future. Thanks again!!!

Jennifer

Jennifer took great care of our three dogs and our home. She went above and beyond caring for each one of them and keeping the house clean. She is most welcome in our home again.

Judi

Judi what’s the best pet sitter we have had so far. She was loved by Percy, who is a quite shy dog. She sent this pictures of Percy snuggling with her giving us peace of mind every day. Our house was in immaculate condition when we returned, and she even went out of her way accommodating our flight schedule. We really hope that Judi would sit for us again.

Jenny

Jenny, was friendly, kind and sent pictures, asked questions and cared for our puppy. Clear and good communication and quite tidy.

Stephanie

Steph and Jake were amazing sitters!! Our often slow-to-warm-up cats took to them immediately. They are clearly cat people with love to give, and we felt so at ease knowing our cats were in their capable hands. They sent us regular updates and photos, and even checked in about a couple of things they wanted to make sure were normal for the cats. Steph and Jake were friendly, self-sufficient, and left our home very clean! I'd recommend them to anyone and really hope they come sit for us again in the future! Our cats will miss them terribly! 😆

Pamela

My puppy Leona was briefly excited when I returned after 4 days, then she went right back to Pam's side - they had bonded so well. Leona is not the easiest 10 month old goldendoodle; she is very willful, but Pam had no problems with her. Pam is a fascinating and fun person also flexible, organized and tidy. She was resourceful and a quick learner when dealing with my poultry and kitties as well as my old quirky house! I highly recommend Pam for housesitting.

Hilary

Hilary did a great job watching my fur babies! She provided me with daily pictures. She even went above and beyond and raked the leaves in the backyard! And the cats really enjoyed their time with her. Thanks Hilary! Highly recommend.

Caroline

Javier and Alexis were absolutely wonderful! They took such great care of our kitties and were very communicative. They sent photos every evening with updates of the day and how the cats were doing and took care to give them cuddles when they needed. 

When we got back home, the house was spotless, in better shape than we left it. Everything was in order and very tidy. 

We were so appreciative of their care and attention. Your animals and home will be in great hands with them!

Maridi

I had a lovely stay in Inkpen, the house was very comfortable and in a quiet rural location. The highlight for me was the lovely walk up to Combe Gibbet which gives 360 degree views from the top, breathtaking. The downside was both rabbits escaping from their enclosure on 2 occasions which was rather stressful and took a while to catch them and return them to their pen. The cats were delightful and very easy to look after although brought in 3 birds, 2 shrews and a mouse which was a shame, especially the birds. Maybe a bell on their collar would be a good idea and may reduce the amount caught? The cockerel next door was a slight annoyance in the morning and so had to keep the window closed and a hanging rail or drawer would have been appreciated to put my clothes somewhere. It was a lovely sit and I’d recommend to anyone.

Kirsty

Had a great sit in Marlborough. Kirsty and Jack are lovely and very welcoming, and the dogs are well trained and easy to look after, even Duke! I have a soft spot for the two pigadors, well all of them really. All of the animals got on with my dog very well. The horses are friendly and easy to handle as needed, and the chickens and hawk are simple to manage. Kirsty's home is a lovely place to be, and the area has some amazing walks that I wish we had had more time to explore. It is simply stunning. 
Loved sitting for Kirsty and Jack, and highly recommend.

Bradley

Even though the pets were "elderly" they still enjoyed a short walk and loved being around you especially Quincy.  He will be your best buddy for a treat and petting.  Pittsboro is a quaint little area and the area is quiet and inviting.  A perfect place to hang out and relax.  Getting to know all the pets was special as they have their own unique personalities and routines.  I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Niko, Ruby, Quincy and Stella

Lucinda

Lucina and family made me feel very welcome in their beautiful country home. Daisy, Ed and Harley are all adorable characters. The two dogs are a pleasure to take for their routine walks in the nearby forest trails as they are so well behaved. Highly recommended.

Stephanie

Coco and Simba were wonderful to sit! They both have lots of personality and *love* attention (and treats). Stephanie & Jan’s place was wonderfully sunny, cute, and homey - in a cute and convenient neighborhood. I’d absolutely sit for them again.
