Cat Sitters in East Islip, NY

Bessie & Carolina

Bessie and her mother have taken very good care of marta and sofia, they have been sending pictures all the time and responding very quickly when we needed to know about our animals. The cleanliness has not been as expected compared to how we delivered the house.

Tracy

Tracy was an absolute pleasure! She took great care of our two cats and apartment. She really went above and beyond in tidying up the place when she left and sending lots of pictures. She was a laidback, communicative, and respectful guest and we’d welcome her back any time!

Bahar

These two were by far one of my best pet sitters I have ever had. Having Bahar and Umut stay in my home and take care of my bunnies was an absolute pleasure. They were very communicative leading up to the sit and throughout their time in my home. I never worried about the bunnies with their daily updates and I could tell the bunnies truly enjoyed their company. The bunnies were well taken care of; it felt as if I was home doing it myself with the photos they sent me. My house was as clean as I left it to them which was very much appreciated. They also left a sweet note with a cute plant for me to come home to. I would love to have them to come for another stay in the future and would recommend them to anyone else on zeewoi. :)

Kristi

It was an absolute pleasure to have Kristi care for my house and my sweet cat. She was communicative, clear, clean and helpful. Got back to the house better than it was when I left it and with a very satisfied and happy cat. Would be happy to host her again any time.

Angie

Angie is an all star sitter - friendly, reliable, clear communicator, clearly smitten with our feline boys, Boz and Artie, and she went above and beyond in leaving everything perfectly clean and tidy (fresh litter!) 👍🏻👍🏻

Sara

Sara and her partner Michael were stellar in their communication as well as their care of our dogs and home! They took care of my 2 high energy and somewhat needy dogs for about 3 weeks and I had peace of mind knowing they were in really good hands the whole time.

Kendra & Patrick

Kendra was very communicative and I knew my furbabies were in great hands! I could tell my cats were loved and well taken care of. She sent lots of pictures and videos! In addition, she kept me up to date on maintenance requests that needed to be attended to and kept my place very clean. 10/10 recommend for a pet sitter!

Joanne

Joanne was so sweet, competent, and flexible. I had just moved when she arrived, and she completely went with the flow. She put me at ease during a busy time, and I have made a new friend in her. It was a joy to have her stay her with Lovey 🩶

Lauri

Lauri and her daughter were great! We kept in touch leading up to the sit so communication was clear. They arrived on time, immediately comfortable with my girls, and sent daily updates with photos. I arrived to a clean home! The girls clearly had fun and my house was vacuumed, towels washed, and clean sheets on my bed!

alex

Alex did great job with our dogs. I will highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great pet/house sitter.

Elizabeth

Liz was a joy to have as a pet sitter. She was very communicative and kept me entertained with photos and videos of my boys playing and snuggling. It made me feel very confident that they were happy and being well taken care of. She arrived as planned the morning of my departure and we reviewed my cats feeding schedule and their sometimes-quirky behavior. When I arrived home, my apt was super clean and tidy and she had stripped the bed for me, as I had requested. (This always makes my re-entry easier.) I would most certainly have Liz back for pet sits and hopefully she will be available for future sits. She's a lovely and engaging person and I highly recommend her. Thanks, Liz.

Heidi

Heidi and Dan are absolutely amazing!! They arrived on the day of our departure and quickly learned the routine of our home and animals. We instantly felt very comfortable with them and it made our departure so much easier knowing our animals and home were in their capable and caring hands. They sent photos and updates on our animals, which we loved. We returned home to a beautifully clean (absolutely spotless) house and barn, and happy, content animals. They are both delightful people and we feel like they are now part of our family (I think our animals still look for them and are missing them). This was our first zeewoi experience and it was 100% positive. We highly recommend them! Thank you Heidi and Dan for such wonderful care of our sweet animals and our home.

Kathy

This was our very first time using a pet sitter with zeewoi for our 21 year old cat, who up until now, has only ever been looked after by family, and we did have reservations .  We needn’t have worried though.  Dawn and Kim are kind, caring, gentle natured and the perfect pet sitters. Any fears we may have had were allayed with the wonderful care and attention they paid to our cat Kristy. It was important to us that Kristy was kept in her normal routine to avoid becoming stressed and ultimately ill, and Dawn and Kim were only too happy to oblige. They also gave us regular updates with photos which was very much appreciated. We came home to a very happy cat and a nice clean and tidy house.  We would welcome Dawn and Kim back to our home anytime.

Danielle

Melody is an absolutely wonderful house and pet sitter. She was just what our family needed. She was clear and organized, so helpful as we were getting ready for a big trip, and loved our animals right away. She has shown the most diligent care of our animals, even as our cat became unpredictably ill and needed special care. We are so grateful for Melody and can not recommend her enough.
