Dog Sitters in St Kilda East

James

James was so sweet and so accommodating. We had a last minute change in plans and James was quick to help troubleshoot and coordinate with our schedule. He was super communicative throughout our stay and was a joy to chat with. We would highly highly recommend James as a pet/homesitter. Top shelf. Thanks for everything, James!

Julia

Julia looked after our house and our dogs and cat fantastically! She is a super star house and pet sitter!

Uma

Uma was our first sitter, and we were obviously nervous about someone staying in our house with our dog. We asked her to come a day early so that we could get to know her and explain about how to work with our dog and handle things in the house. She was happy to oblige us and what a wonderful sitter, and person, she ended up being. Our dog loved her, as did we, and we cannot more highly recommend her to anyone looking for a competent and personal sitter.

Karen

Karen and her boys were fantastic and reliable Kept communication open for the whole time we were away sending pictures and updates of all of our fur babies. The house was in perfect order when we returned which was so good not having to worry about that after coming home from holidays! Highly recommend them as house sitters 😊

Kelsey

Kelsey was an excellent pet sitter and I would highly recommend her. She provided updates and communication with me. Storm was well cared for and the house was left clean and tidy. Thanks Kelsey!

Michelle

Michelle was a wonderful sitter for our 3 puppies! She was flexible when we had to change our dates initially which we really appreciated. She was proactive with questions and didn’t hesitate to ask something when needed. We also got some cute puppy pics during her stay. The dogs were calm and relaxed when we arrived home and the house was lonely and clean. Thank you Michelle for looking after the boys so well :)

Michaela & Jack

Michaela & Jack looked after our two dogs. They are a friendly couple. They had great communication before & during the house sit & were reliable. They looked after our home & dogs beautifully.

Thomas Gabriel

Thanks Thomas, for taking great care of our cat Banjo and our home!

Phoebe

Phoebe and Fred were great communicators. They arrived when I asked, looked after the house as if it was their own and got on well with our dog (Tex). I’d happily recommend them for any house or dog sits!

Heather & Michael

Heather, Michael and their two lovely children looked after our French bulldog Neymar for a week while we had a sightseeing break in London. They were easy to contact beforehand and we had a video call to discuss things about a week before the sit started. They arrived in the afternoon the day before we left, so they were able to meet our dog and we had plenty of time to show them how everything worked around the house. We enjoyed a meal together and really enjoyed hearing about their travels! Communication while we were away was great; they sent photos of Neymar each day, out on his walks and snoozing on the sofa 😁, and we were confident that he was having his daily medication. They were very organised: they even reminded us to let them know which bins were to be put out on the Friday (we receive an email the night before). They had to leave a few hours before we arrived home, as planned, and they fed, walked and tabletted Neymar before they left. They had also stripped all the beds and made a start on washing the sheets and towels, and the house was left spotless. We would highly recommend them to anyone.

Rowena & Didirri

Thanks so much!

John & Pamela

John and Pam were the best sitters that we could have wished for, for our babies. They took care of them like their own and the regular pictures and updates we got while we were away were so welcome and appreciated. Our girls were very happy with John and Pam and we would love to have them stay with them again!

Michelle

Rachel & Kevin were wonderful sitters! This was my 1st sit using zeewoi so I wasn't sure what to expect but Rachel & Kevin made the experience so easy and worry-free. We had communication before the sit to work out timing, needs & expectations. They were also very amenable to coming several hours early, to meet Bailey and allow her to get comfortable with them & vice versa. I really appreciated that. My Bailey is a nervous nelly & so it was super helpful for them to drive in early to make this pre-meet possible.
Communication during the stay was excellent. We touched base daily, which was perfect for me. Rachel & Kevin made sure I was aware of little issues but didn't burden me with anything. They handled everything as I would have and did everything they could to make my Bailey feel comfortable, loved & well taken care of. 
My Bailey took to them easily from the start, in fact, she wouldn't let Kevin alone - licking him all over & wanting him to go everywhere with her - which he happily obliged!
On the homefront, Rachel & Kevin took care of everything I asked of them & left the house spotless to include doing laundry and making the bed back up for me so I didn't have to worry about anything upon my return. Nice!
Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better sit.

Stephen

Julio and Patricia were great house/pet sitters.  They were communicative/and responsive in our interview and throughout the period of housesitting.  They gave our cat his medicine as directed and sent along pics of the cat during their stay. They left the house clean and neat and even vacuumed before leaving.  I highly recommend them

Zoe

Melanie is a 10 star! We had some challenges with the dates confirmed with TH, but it all worked out. She communicated so well with us and our dogs and we will definitely use her again should we need another get away! We highly, highly recommend Melanie!

Emma

Loved house sitting at Emma & Jimmy’s home & looking after Fleck! Emma had great communication and was so lovely to chat to. Fleck was so much fun & loved a cuddle after ball games. Would be very happy to sit again!
