Pet Sitters in Clintondale, NY

Laura and Eric were fantastic house-sitters: very communicative, friendly and tidy. They looked after the flat very well and sent regular updates about my cat Merry. Everything was smooth and easy, meaning I could go on holiday safe in the knowledge the flat and the cat were in their capable hands. They even left me some beautiful gifts when they left. Thank you both. Highly recommend!

Abigail picked up a last minute sit request we put out, and everything worked out very well. We never got to meet or even do a call, but there was no need, as we communicated loads over WhatsApp, which was great and very reassuring. Abigail and her partner Jack bonded quickly with our cat and he was his happy usual self upon our return. The house was clean and tidy, and Abigail was super respectful and polite at all times - checking in that they could use the washing machine, and giving us nice photo updates of them with Puss. We would very much recommend Abigail as a sitter!

Angela was delightful to communicate with, and I loved that she sent pics regularly and obviously enjoyed taking care of my furballs. They seemed happy upon my return, and I could tell that they were well cared for and content. I'd recommend her wholeheartedly!!

Sevan and Amber were lovely. We felt comfortable leaving our many pets in their care. Sevan had asked for instructions before arriving, so they could be prepared. He had a great way with our energetic dogs (who can be a challenge to handle). They are kind and conscientious, and attentive parents to Juliette. I recommend them highly.

Pete was a very reliable, animal-loving petsitter. I received regular updates about the well-being of my pets. My house was left behind clean and tidy. I hope that he can come back another time for petsitting.

Thuy and her mother were perfect houseguests and pet sitters. They were extremely sweet and knowledgeable. I trusted them, and  my dog was very comfortable with them. I would highly recommend them to anyone! They watered the flowers, they cleans everything they use, and after the house in a tidy orderly fashion. Our dog, Beth, clearly was well cared for. Sent me a pictures of their outings and playing ball in the yard. She cuddled with her on the couch. We were away for three nights, and Beth looked wonderful when we arrived home. She seemed calm and happy .  Thuy communicated when she would arrive and when she was leaving the house and 

Rigel has sat for me twice and has done well.

Shelley is a dangerous and incompetent housesitter. She should never be entrusted with anything more valuable than a houseplant. Her pet care was terrible. On the 2nd day she left our 2 dogs outside in the backyard, unattended on a 83-degree hot, humid summer day with no water for 90 minutes while she left our home to go out for a walk. We saw this on our Ring camera and immediately reported this to zeewoi (full complaint currently under investigation) and let her know directly how concerning this was for us. Not only was it unsafe to leave the dogs outside while she left the home, but it also went against clear instructions that were communicated to her in person during the handover and in writing about what to do with the dogs anytime she left our home. She repeatedly had trouble following basic instructions that were communicated verbally, in writing and in text reminders. She was incapable of following basic pet care requirements. We asked that only one of our 2 dogs be walked once a day (I did not want her walking the other stronger dog, because during the handover we went on a walk together and Shelley DROPPED our dog's leash). We use Fi collars, so we know that over the course of 11 days, Shelley brought our dog for only 4 walks. We did a phone interview with Shelley and never did she inform us that our medium sized, 40 pound dogs would be too much for her to walk. Additionally, Shelley traveled with her sister who clearly is unwell (likely dementia or some sort of developmental disability) and also was afraid and nervous around dogs. She never informed us of this, and it was clearly a huge safety issue. Shelley's sister let our INDOOR cat out multiple times (at least 4 times are seen on outside cameras). Sometimes our cat was left outside for 20+ minutes without Shelley or her sister realizing. This is so, so dangerous- we are on a main street with a lot of traffic. We are lucky our cat didn't get lost or killed under her "care." Shelley and her sister left our home in a terrible, and honestly gross and unsanitary, condition. A paper bag with human feces was found in our bathroom and made the entire 2nd floor of the house stink for days. The rug in my office was covered with urine- which makes me wonder if she locked my dogs in this room for extended periods of time. Our dogs are fully house trained and have never had any potty accidents. The kitchen was filled with flies, milk had been spilled in the refrigerator and never cleaned up (a gross film had formed by the time we got home). The blender was put away in the cabinet unclean. The recycle bin was filled with dirty trash- so much so that we got a notice from the city. She carelessly used metal utensils and scratched our Le Creuset dutch oven (which will now void its lifetime guarantee). Three brand new bars of soap were taken from our home, like they were some sort of hotel amenity. Shelley went into our basement storage freezer (which she had NO need to access) and took home 3 gallon bags (about 20lbs) of frozen tomatoes I had harvested before our trip from our garden. When I addressed this with her, she claimed her sister packed them by accident (which, if true, & your sister is so unwell that she's packing things from someone's home that are NOT HERS, she should not be allowed to travel with you). However, I don't believe that's the case- 20 pounds of tomatoes aren't really something that just sneaks by your consciousness- it's A LOT of tomatoes. Shelley was offended I accused her of stealing, but that's what she did. She ultimately returned them, knowing full well she was in the wrong. I'm not sure what else she might have taken from our home, as I didn't think I needed to take an inventory of our belongings and supplies before we left. Ultimately the sit ended when our one of our dogs ate some of a marijuana plant in the backyard (she had never shown interest before and we did not know the plant- with no flowers on it- was dangerous). We do not blame Shelley for that (even though it was probably from a time the dogs were not adequately supervised in the backyard); having the plant where dogs could access was our mistake, and one that will never be made again. The part that is extremely concerning is that it took Shelley nearly 2 hours to get our dog to the emergency vet from discovering the first symptoms (she first texted me at 6:26pm that our dog was unwell and "having seizures" and did not leave for the hospital until 8:12pm). And I am certain she never called the zeewoi vet emergency line. She eventually reached out to my mother (our emergency contact while we were in Europe) and my mom told her to go to the vet ER immediately. Afterwards Shelley stated via message, "I cried, prayed & hugged her throughout the incident." So, instead of getting prompt medical care for our dog (emergency vet was clearly listed in our printed out home instructions), she prayed for her. Unhelpful, incompetent and incredibly dangerous. I'm not sure how she has previous good reviews. We were shocked by the incompetency and complete inability to understand and follow simple, clear directions- there are, sadly, many more examples I could include here. We are grateful our girls survived having her stay in our home. I would hope no one else ever has to deal with such a horror. To finish things off, disapproving of the legal marijuana plant in the backyard and probably of our rainbow flag displayed on the front of the house, Shelley texted "You need prayers. Find a Bible based church to go to and get healed. I pray for your soul."

We were very nervous as this is our first time with zeewoi AND the first time leaving our crew with a stranger. Also we just renovated our house and were very worried it would get damaged. But we had no reason at ALL to worry! Mary did an outstanding job. We kept in contact via cell phone and she sent pictures every day and kept in touch about all the things she was doing. Since it was thanksgiving and her kids (adults) were nearby she asked if it would be ok if they joined her for part of the sit. We were also nervous about this but again - no need. The house is clean, the pets seem to be super happy and healthy - WONDERFUL experience! I can't recommend Mary enough :)

While it's nice to have someone at the house while the owners are away, the most important thing for pet owners is someone to care for their pets. If I could give Elvira 10 stars for loving my dog and giving her special attention, I would! Elvira also texted me with daily photos and comments about the "walkies" my dog enjoyed. Plus, Elvira took on the additional task of conveying my dog to the groomer, and afterwards dosing her with flea/tick medication and a heartworm pill. Elvira and my dog look forward to seeing each other again, probably next spring when Elvira thinks she'll be back in the area.

I am delighted to share with you that Sharlene is: • Positive • Trust worthy • Upbeat • Easy to get along with • Cheerful • And has a can-do attitude This woman delivers everything you could possibly want from a dog minder/house sitter and more. She came to our home in south of France to look after our very nervous rescue dog and won her over in no time at all. They were instant pals! Before the house sit we exchanged emails and Skyped for me to feel at ease, and during her stay she kept in touch and gave us updates to put our minds at rest. The morning we were due to leave, our transport to the airport let us down badly at the last second, and Sharlene stepped in (despite jet-lag!) and sorted the problem, making the whole thing stress-free. Everything was perfect on our return and most of all our tricky dog had been walked every day, and spoiled with cuddles from Sharlene and looked like she’d hardly noticed we’d gone! She is a truly lovely person who I can’t recommend highly enough. We would invite her again in a heartbeat. THANK YOU SHARLENE

Mike took good care of our dog Sparky. Our dog needed both eye drops and pills during Mike’s sit due to a recent eye injury. These were no problem for Mike which was a huge help.
