Cat Sitters in Garfield, NJ

Ranai

Ranai was a fantastic house sitter and cat whisper. Highly recommend. We have two cats with very different personalities and both of them warmed up to Ranai quickly and ease fully. She was great about sending lots of pictures, videos and updates on both of them, all of which made us smile while we were away. In addition to her love and skill with animals, Ranai was extremely communicative, easy to coordinate with and left the house tidy and in great care. We would welcome her back anytime that she's back in the Bay!

Aysegul & Nate

This was our very first experience with Zeewoi and we were anxious about what to expect. We were so fortunate to have Aysh and Nate as our first sitters. They were warm and friendly and helped ease our minds. They spent time with our pets playing and snuggling. We felt so comfortable on our trip knowing they were caring for our pets. They sent photos and videos which we really appreciated. When we returned home, our house was cleaner than when we left! Aysh and Nate weee fantastic and we will be inviting them to sit again in the future. Terrific people with beautiful hearts.

James

James was awesome!! On top of taking great care of Tarzan, James was communicative and such a great guest and caretaker. It was such a gift coming back to everything super clean and tidy! Since first talking with James it was clear he loves animals, and Tarzan was in great hands while he was here! I absolutely recommend James if you're looking for someone caring, friendly, and responsible to look after your pets and home!

Mei

Mei was fantastic! She kept me updated with travel plans etc in advance and was great at communication throughout Her daily updates were fun and reassured me that my flat, and cat (!) were being taken care of very well The flat was perfectly clean when I got home and Buster was a happy boy, couldn’t be more grateful Mei is super self sufficient and capable, I wouldn’t hesitate to have her back!

Sandra

Sandra was wonderful to communicate with. She asked the right questions and was fully prepared and organized to take care of our cat and our home. Highly recommend her!

Emily

Emily and the dogs got along really well! She was very clean and couldn’t even tell she was here. Much thanks to her and would love to have her back again soon!

Helen

Helen has been a godsend! She's everything one could wish for in a housesitter... conscientious, kind, communicative, clean and tidy, and totally reliable. Competent in all aspects of caring for our home and elderly cat and quick to grasp everything about how our home functions. This included looking after our garden as well which, in the scorching days of a Spanish summer, is quite a task. Titania our cat clearly became attached to her and stayed by her side and chatted with her as she usually does with us...in fact I'm not sure we're not second best now we're home. Helen is remarkably self sufficient considering she's arrived here from the US and not been to this part of the world before. Luckily she speaks perfect Spanish. She booked buses online and took a few trips around but spent much of each day working online. She found her way around the town and used buses to visit the mountain villages. We were in touch on WhatsApp and had photos of Titania most days to reassure us. We arrived home late at night to an immaculate house and a few things in the fridge etc to keep us going over the weekend so we could draw breath and relax a bit the next day. Helen is immediately and immensely likeable and trustworthy, with a very positive and cheerful disposition.

Lauren

Lauren was kind, resilient, and went so far beyond the call of duty with our pets. We could not be more grateful.

Shelby

Shelby was a wonderful cat sitter for Olaf! She took great care of my apartment but most importantly, she took great care of my cat and I would have her back without any hesitation!

Patricia

Patricia (and her son) were wonderful sitters for Odis. Patricia was very communicative about her timing and availability, and very flexible to meet our travel schedule (including arriving very early before our flight to be able to meet our anxious dog before we left!). It was clear that Odis was very comfortable with her from the start and she had no issues with taking care of a big dog. She asked all the right questions and made sure she was prepared. She sent notes about very 24 hours to check in and let us know all was well, which we appreciated. Patricia left our home spotless as well. We’d love to have Patricia back in the future.

Rob

Rob was great! Thanks for taking care of Charlie!

Mary

Mary was amazing - took great care of my fur babies (even added one to the list last minute and she was SO understanding!) and my house - highly, highly, highly recommend!

Valeria

Jorien is THE BEST- reliable, organised, asked all the right questions beforehand and then looked after Maki and the house so well whilst being snowed under in what were the coldest days in London this winter so far. 
I was lucky to meet this charming woman and have dinner with her the night before I left- I felt very at ease with her from the start and had no doubt Maki would love her (which she did). She has great life stories and is easy going, fun and has great love and understanding of animals. 
Jorien also arranged to stay one extra night at my place as I had some travel issues on the way back, and she wanted to be sure I was back home before leaving- thank you so much for that. 
I would 100% and wholeheartedly recommend her as a sitter.

Erin

Doris & Dustin were excellent pet and house sitters! Very organized and communicative and took great care of the pets and house. Felt very relaxed on my holiday in their capable hands!
