Pet Sitters in Elizaville, NY

Christy and Eric were absolutely amazing! They cared for our 2 dogs and cat exactly as we had hoped (and even did extra). They took them for walks and rides and administered oral medication to both dogs. Christy and Eric communicated throughout our 2 week vacation and gave us updates on the pets and the house. Christy and Eric were both very easy to talk to prior to the sit and they arrived on time as scheduled. They kept the house EXTREMELY clean and it seems as though we came home to a cleaner/tidier home than we left them. Christy and Eric were amazing pet sitters and we would definitely be more than happy to welcome them back into our home any time!

Sarah and Gerard were great! The house was extremely tidy on our return and we had amazingly sharp knives thanks to Gerard’s travelling knife kit. They were really friendly and we felt so comfortable leaving our pets with them. Nero and Juno were very happy on our return. We would highly recommend them and if they want to come back to NZ we would have them back again!

This was the second time Kasey and Maya have watched my pets, and it went just as smoothly as the first! My two cats seemed very happy upon my return home and the place looked pretty much just as I left it. Thanks again Kasey!

Robin was kind, communicative and extremely helpful with my dogs and chickens. They kindly went to the vet for me to pick up meds which enabled my dogs to get started on medication sooner versus later- a kindness for which I was most grateful. Robin reached out regularly with updates and clarifications which made everything run smoothly. We also got to know each other some and I was grateful to learn about their teachings at Yale and the book on which Robin is working. I recommend Robin fully to any homeowner!

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.

Katelyn is awesome!! This was her second time sitting for me and I wish I could have her sit every time. She really truly connected with and loved my cats and takes such great care of the house she even cleaned the shower before she left! Thank you for everything! You are the best.

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."

I would highly recommend Rose as a sitter. Excellent communication. She took excellent care of my cats and home. I felt great knowing she was there for the two weeks of my absence. Perfect sitter!

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

Becky and Eric were superb housesitters. They took wonderful care of our dog, Lego. Our house was in excellent order when we arrived home. It was easy to communicate with them regarding logistics and they kept us up to date on Lego's well being throughout our time away from him. We never worried. I hope they will consider housesitting again.

Forrest was simply fantastic. We left our dear dog and home in his care for ten days, and couldn’t be happier. The house was spotless and, more importantly, our little guy was clearly well cared for. Also, Forrest is a very smart, engaging, and delightful person, who was a pleasure to have met. We look forward to calling upon him again.

Rockstar, Superstar, 10 out of 10. Victoria is a gem! I feel very lucky to have been connected to her and would highly recommend booking her!
