Pet Sitters in Varina, VA

Justin

Great communication right from the start, Justin and Megan gave me confidence they would take care of both our dog and cat. We received some pictures and messages whilst we were away to reassure us all was well. Nice that they had a chance to explore the area while keeping our fur babies happy.It was a shame we didn't get a chance to meet but maybe another opportunity may arise. We can recommend them both as trustworthy sitters for your home and pets.

Caroline

I only met Caroline as Zainab came a day later. The time I had with Caroline to go through things, she seemed very confident and capable. Rolo, my pup took to her immediately so that was good to see. They kept in touch, with some photos where Rolo always seemed to be very happy, having fun. They asked for things and let me know of anything that I might need to know. I think they were a great fit and fully recommend them.

Madelyn & Graydon

This was our first experience of sharing our home and labrador with house sitters, and we were a little nervous about being on the other side of the world for three whole weeks. We needn’t have worried. Madelyn and Graydon were super organised and we had excellent communication before and during the stay. Frequent updates on Molly who was clearly happy to have found some younger playmates and thrived, I think she is missing them already. At my request they arrived a day early so we could do a proper hand-over and they were great guests for this time. House was spotless and they left a detailed report of their experiences with the house and Molly which were very helpful as a hand-back. We would jump at the chance of having them here again if they are available.

Lisa

I am lucky to report that I have had another excellent experience with zeewoi. Lisa cared for Olive for 8 nights, and all went well. She was great at communicating, from the initial FaceTime meeting, to questions ahead of time to giving me updates on Olive during the sit. She was helpful and did a few easy errands for me and the house looked great when we got home. Olive was happy and relaxed when we returned, which is the most important thing. Plus she said she enjoyed Olive's company which always makes me happy to hear. You'll be in good hands with Lisa for a sit!

Ella

Ella was absolutely amazing!! I cannot give her enough praise for the fantastic job she did. I felt so safe and comfortable leaving my cat with her and could tell that she was extraordinarily well taken care of when I came back. And the house was spotless! Not only was she a great pet sitter she is also a lovely person, I would have her back in a second.

S & Rick

Sao was quite a find among the zeewoi community we have come to know and love. One of our repeat sitters suddenly had a family emergency that led to last minute cancellation. We quickly listed our dates and within about an hour, Sao came to our rescue based on a referral from yet another one of our amazing past sitters. Given the personal reference, we didn’t hesitate to accept her application before we even arranged a chat shortly thereafter. Sao literally dropped everything to help us out on a pinch, and we’re so lucky to have met yet another kind, caring and stellar sitter. Our cat Sopo had a badly sprained leg, and Sao kept her comfortable and carefully monitored her need for pain medicine to help her recovery. When we returned, Sopo was back on her feet and both kitties were clearly well loved. You simply won’t find a more kind and caring sitter than Sao. Highly recommended.

Virginia & Chris

Ginny & Chris are honest, reliable, friendly and relaxed people who have a genuine love of animals. When they arrived they got the usual barking welcome from Molly but within minutes she was calm and comfortable. Both our cats usually disappear when visitors arrive however they instantly took to our sitters and hung around all night. Flo is an old dog and you have to be patient with her. Ginny & Chris have experience with older dogs and were keen to know everything about her so she would be comfortable while we were away. They kept us updated while we were away with photos and little videos of our pets which was lovely and very much appreciated. Upon arriving back all our animals were healthy, happy and relaxed. The house was clean and tidy and Ginny and Chris had cooked a lovely dinner for us. If you want interesting, relaxed, friendly and reliable pet loving people then this couple totally fit the bill. We would not hesitate to have them back. Thank you for looking after our beautiful animals and home.

Josette & Leo

Josie and Leo were conscientious, communicative and friendly - a true pleasure to have in my home while i was away. Most importantly, judging from the frequent updates and photos I received, it was also clear that my cat Stella was very well-cared for. I returned home to both a tidy home and happy cat. Thanks again, Josie and Leo!

Dawn "Aurora"

Dawn was great! She took very good care of Harley and left everything clean and as she found it when she arrived. She also kept me up to speed on how Harley was all weekend. I would highly recommend her as a sitter.

Mary

Mary ended up doing an extended sit for us, taking care of the house and occasionally taking care of Abby after the first scheduled stay. Abby warmed up to her pretty quickly and was keeping Mary company on the couch within a day or two. We are looking forward to seeing Mary again, she was great

Oguzhan

We were so pleased with Oguzhan’s care of Teddy and Jake. Oguzhan’s partner Charlotte was also on the sit, agreed to ahead of time and which we appreciated. Teddy, our friendly little pup was their snuggle buddy and warmed up to Oguzhan right away. Shy Jake isn’t as sociable but was well taken care of with his feeding and insulin shots. Communication was great with daily updates and photos. The house was left very clean, linens washed, mail and packages brought in. We were so pleased to get home to our boys knowing everything went so well. Thank you to Oguzhan & Charlotte!

Dawn

Dawn was great with our dog Luna. She communicated well and left everything neat and tidy. I would love to have her come back and sit again!

Sabina

I had a wonderful time at Sabina's place enjoying the company of her sweet cats! Curie and Dorian can be a  little bit shy at first but once they get to know you it's all cuddles and love. They are the puurfect roommates! Communication with Sabina was great both pre sit and during my stay. I arrived early morning in Hamburg and Sabina was working. But she was so kind of letting me to pick up her keys to have a rest after a long trip from my previous sit. Even tho we didn't share too much time we managed to chat a lot and I loved learning about her fish and axolotls. The house its in a nice area not far from  bakeries, supermarkets and the sbaan. 
I highly recommend this sit to any pet sitter who wants to have a lovely time in Hamburg. I'll be happy to sit for Sabina again in the future if the opportunity arises.

Chris

I had a great time with Popeye in Mykonos. Popeye is such a good boy, he behaves so well, listens, and waits for his humans when outside. Chris was so kind and made my stay as comfortable as possible, I was even allowed to stay one more night due to my flight. All in all, I loved it and would 100% take care of Popeye again! 😊

Bethany

I had a wonderful time in Fort Collins with the delightful Koda. He's such a sweet guy, we enjoyed howling together every morning, taking walks around the neighborhood and nearby parks, and hanging out in the backyard together. Bethany and Jim were incredibly hospitable and generous and made sure I had what I needed; their home is clean and comfortable; communication was clear. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this sit! Thanks, Bethany and Jim!
