Cat Sitters in Takoma Park, MD

Kaitlyn

This was Kaitlyn's second sit for the guinea pigs and once again she did a wonderful job. Communication with Kaitlyn was excellent and she sent the most adorable photos of the piggies each day. I returned to a tidy house and happy pigs. Kaitlyn genuinely loves animals and I highly recommend her to other homeowners. She will always be welcome back any time she wishes.

Carrie

This is the second time Carrie has cat sit for me. As was the first visit, the 2nd also went smoothly. The second visit was more complex as I am trying to get two older cats to acclimated to one another. I appreciated Carrie's willingness to work with them and keeping me posted on how the interactions went.

Jasmine & Taylor

Jasmine and Taylor were amazing and I would love to have them sit again. They did so well giving my dog his medicine and she consistently shared photos and updates. When I got home I could tell my dogs were taken care of well. 10/10 recommend. Absolutely amazing.

Carolyn

We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience with Carolyn and zeewoi. There was zero evidence that her and Douglas had even been here, except of course, our calm, happy pets. Our house was spotless and everything was exactly as we left it 5 days earlier. Although we weren’t able to meet in person, communication before and during the sit was perfect. She sent us cute pics of our babies, which helped us relax knowing they were well cared for. One of our dogs was in heat and they even handled her diaper situation without complaint. We would happily let Carolyn and Douglas sit for us again!

Rebekah

Rebekah was fantastic. There was an unexpected medical problem with my cat when I was away and she handled it perfectly. My little guy suddenly got sick and she was very communicative, looked after him, and everything was handled with care and concern. She was a perfect house guest and a model cat sitter. Don't hesitate to use Rebekah.

Emma

Emma was a great house sitter! Very responsive and organized, which I appreciate. She went the extra mile for sure, and handled surprises with my pets with grace and kindness. A very kind friend to animals, and a wonderful sitter! I would love to have her again. Above and beyond my expectations!

Elena

Eric and Elena were amazing. They are both lovely, intelligent and responsible people who cared very much for my cat. I returned to find my home and my cat in wonderful shape. You will be very lucky to meet them.

Francesca

Francesca put me totally at ease while I was on an international trip. She met me ahead of time and asked important questions about my home and my 2 cats, and during my trip she sent me great updates. My home was spotless when I returned and my cats were happy. :) I highly recommend her!

Rocky

Rocky took great care of our house and the kitties.

Katie

Katie was one of our best sitters ever! (And that's saying a lot - we've had great sitters from Zeewoi.) She was super easy to plan with, from the first email exchange to the final send-off. She sent us a bunch of great photos that proved our dog was having a grand old time with her. We'd invite Katie back in a heartbeat!

Michaela

This was the second time Michaela sat for our dog and cat. This time she also brought her husband and daughter. Michaela communicates well and is very reliable. Our dog is elderly so she needs extra care which Michaela provides well. I would have her and her family back anytime.

Alexandra & Michael

They were amazing! Great communication and provided me with pictures of Bella while I was away! I knew Bella would be in great hands due to them having a fur baby as well. They took Bella on long walks and showed her so much love. My apartment was left very clean. I would definitely have them sit for me again! Bella will miss them no doubt !

Lacey

Karina was amazing! Our home and pets could not have been in better hands. She checked in us regularly, sending updates and pictures of the pets. We even had a vet emergency and she handled it with such grace, giving our sweet Poppy so much love and care. We had a second sitter coming in after her, and she communicated well, making the transition smooth and seamless. Ten out of ten recommend!

William

Esme was super polite, easy to coordinate with, and took great care of my home and my pets. 

I knew when she was arriving and when she was leaving, got clear updates on the cats, and returned to everything as it should be.

I'm excited to have Esme sit for me again soon!
