Pet Sitters in Belford, NJ

Amy & Joseph

Amy and Joseph did a phenomenal job house sitting for us and clearly our three babies were loved and deeply cared for in our absence. They were both excellent communicators, kind and loving people and both clearly experienced with animals. Also they left our home clean and tidy so that we could come home worry free! We hope to have Amy and Joseph return for another sit in the future and recommend them with five stars (plus) to anyone looking for home and pet care!

Quai

Quai was super considerate and took great care of my home and pets. I came back to two contented cats and a tidy home. I was able to simply rest from my trip and hang with the kitties. The garden and plants were in great shape, too. At some point, I think a neighborhood cat must have treated one of my front yard plants as a nice, cool pillow (it's summer, and temps are in the 90s F). Out of concern, Quai sent a photo of the squashed plant right away, so there were no surprises (and it's a resilient plant, coming back around as I write this review)!

Laura & Dan

Laura was an absolutely perfect sitter and I would recommend her to anyone! She's a wonderful and warm person and I can tell she just loves all animals. She cared for our cat Bagel so wonderfully he took to her instantly and cuddled with her easily. She was communicative and responsible, and gave us check ins every day with cute photos of Bagel. She left the apartment perfectly clean. Laura, I hope you're able to cat sit with us in the future! Thank you so much!

Megan

Megan is a fantastic sitter, she took great care of my cat Babytooth, I could see on the daily photos and videos she was sharing that he had totally adopted her. She's highly reliable, tidy and super friendly. She kindly accepted to extend her stay by a few days at the last minute as I had to push my return flight, which was incredibly helpful. When I returned, I was so grateful to find my cat happy, healthy and my apartment was spotless. I will call her back for all my future sits.

Adele

I'm thrilled at how well Adele looked afer my babies! She was on the ball with the very detailed instructions I left about food, home care, and the rest. Regular updates and pictures helped me miss the cats less while on my trip too :)

Lakshay

Lakshay did an amazing job taking care of my two cats for a week! He sent lots of photos and videos and was very respectful of my apartment. I came home and the apartment was cleaner than I had left it! I would love to have Lakshay back for another sit, and would recommend him to anyone else!

Elian & Juliette

Elian and Juliette are truly the absolute best. When I had last minute trip come up, it was a no brainer to invite them back for a second time to stay with Archie. When they arrive, Archie screamed with delight to see his favorite friends again, and when I came home, he was sad for a whole day when they left. They understand how emotional it is to leave your pet when you travel, so they are on top of sending pictures and videos so you feel connected to your furry friend while you travel. Archie and the apartment were well taken care of, and I felt very confident leaving him with them. They have my highest recommendation (for a second time)!

Jane

We really lucked out getting Jane for a Trusted Pet Sitter. It would be hard to conjure up a nicer, more perfect person to take care of your pets in their normal routine. Jane instinctively understood our two pups and their personalities. We all felt comfortable with Jane immediately. Not only did Jane take excellent care of our pets, she truly embodies the zeewoi model of enjoying and experiencing a new area. She planned her travel in the most efficient way possible around our trip and was self reliant in her explorations of the area. What a great example of a Trusted Pet Sitter relationship. We highly recommend Jane and hope that we will connect with her again in the future. She is welcome here anytime.

Christina & Benjamin

OMG! I am not sure we WANT To write a review because we selfishly want to keep Ben and Christina all to ourselves!!! This was our first, and their first booking with zeewoi. It was absolutely fanTASTIC! AND, we have new friends that we adore. They lovingly cared for our critters, sending daily journals and photos of their days together. We worried about their separation angst as our return date approached. We saw it in their eyes when we said good bye at the ferry, as we arrived home and they were in line to catch the ferry to the airport. When we got home, overjoyed to see Murphy, Bousa our cat, our 18 canaries and pond full of koi. But is does not end there! They had prepared fresh pesto from garlic and basil from the garden....homemade chicken parmesana AND a delicious fruit tart with berries from our garden! We LOVED this zeewoi experience and will be changing our spring travel times to be able to book Christina and Ben back, fitting in with their schedule!

Crystelle

My cats loved having Crystelle care for them, and so did I. She was caring, responsible, and very communicative. That was one thing I stressed, wanting regular updates on my furbabies and Crystelle delivered. Pics and videos every day, mostly of her petting them and hearing them purr. If she needed a question answered about their care, or taking care of the house, she asked. That was important to me, too. When I came home it was clear they weren’t stressed at all. I highly recommend Crystelle as a petsitter, and I would use her services again without hesitation.

Sunny

We have been so fortunate to meet Sunny here on zeewoi. She has come back to our home again and again, and each time she takes excellent care of our two dogs and our house. I would recommend her to anyone!

Arielle & Ang

Where to start? Arielle could not have been a better sitter for our Pit Bull, Tyson! She took him on long walks, spent a lot of time with him, and tended to some medical issues that arose just before we left for our trip. He had an ear infection and needed both ears cleaned and treated daily. He also had some stomach problems (we are now attributing to stress/separation anxiety) and was vomiting a lot. Arielle took Tyson to the vet for us! He was much better within a few days, and Arielle gave Tyson medication and followed the vet's instructions regarding what she fed him, which I'm sure, was a pain, but she never complained, just continued to take excellent care of him. She kept us informed daily and sent cute photos and videos. Arielle left our house in better condition than she found it. If you need an intelligent, compassionate, kind, responsible house/pet sitter, call Arielle!

Allison

Naomi was absolutely the best!!! I was very nervous about my first house sitter and she patiently listened to me and checked in on everything I was worried about. She was very communicative and, most importantly, took amazing care of my pets. We got lots of cute pictures of our happy babies. Our house was cleaner than we left it and she even changed the sheets in our bed for us.  Naomi is always welcomed back to sit for us.

Rick

Rick and Jon were amazing hosts, such a gorgeous home with a beautiful garden full of plants. We really enjoyed our stay with Snickers and Reeses, they are such sweeties and cuddle bugs. Would come back in a heart beat for this sit!

Lauren

Lauren and Max were wonderful hosts. Their home is well organized and spotlessly clean. The guest room I stayed in was fully appointed - including a nice selection of pillows, blackout curtains, and high quality bedding.  Their home is conveniently located to the local grocery store, a couple of restaurants, 24 Hour Fitness, and a great little coffee shop. 

Now... let's talk about Mozzarella!  

He was the absolute BEST boy! We became buddies pretty fast and enjoyed stalking each other, playing keep away, and tug of war. He has more toys than most kids - and he knows exactly which one he is looking for! Whether we were exhausting each other playing or just hanging out on the couch or in the sun - - I enjoyed every moment with him. 

If you get the chance to watch Motz... do it! Thank you Lauren and Max for giving me the perfect place to land on my return to Oregon.

Tawnya

We enjoyed staying with Murphy so very very much! Murphy is the SWEETEST dog you will ever meet. We sincerely loved every single minute. Tawnya left everything so organized for us that we didn’t have any questions when it came to his care.  We would love to go back anytime and stay in this beautiful location with amazing Murphy!

Mercedes

We felt very welcomed into your home.  The pets were friendly and we enjoyed our time with them.  We will miss them!!  Thank you for allowing us to care for them!

Jane

What a treat! Boris is a beautiful dog and I truly was sad to say goodbye! He is such a playful and fun boy and very affectionate. Jane and Danny are wonderful people and made me feel so comfortable immediately. They are warm and welcoming and made me feel right at home. Couldn’t speak highly enough of my experience, lovely people, a lovely community and a wonderful dog - thank you guys! ☺️

Zoe

Zoe and David were excellent hosts! They greeted us so warmly, we felt like we were visiting old friends. Their home is lovely and comfortable, and the dogs are so sweet. The house is perfectly located between Leuven and Brussels, both of which are easily reached by bus. We would watch Andy, Waffle and Womble again in a heartbeat!
