Dog Sitters in Mechanicville, NY

Lori is incredible! She takes such good care of our puppy (1 year old, high energy hound mix) and our four chickens. She follows directions very well, checks in with photos when needed, leaves the house spotless, and takes great care of the animals. Our dog was exercised thoroughly each day, which is huge. I would highly recommend Lori to anyone looking for a sitter! This is her third stay at our place and we hope to continue to partner with her!

Carol's communication was excellent and she was a reliable sitter whom I was very grateful to have come and take care of my two dogs. She was kind, attentive, and asked questions when needing more information. She was a delight!

Michael and Faye were absolutely fantastic guests and took wonderful care of Whiskey and our home. They kindly arrived the evening prior to our departure and spent time with Whiskey that evening and the next morning to ensure they were well-versed on feeding, walking, etc. They provided regular updates and took Whiskey on several adventures during their stay. We would happily have them back in the future.

Piper was an incredible caretaker of our boy and our home! Super responsive and easy to work with. and i know Judd loved his time. Would definitely love to have Piper back!

Lynda and her lovely husband took superb care of our house and our 3 cats. This is saying something, considering that the house is older and requires some TLC, one the cats was recently adopted and was having transition anxiety, and several winter storms blew through the area. We were so happy they were sitting for us and having such confidence helped us have a worry-free holiday. They kept in touch with us the right amount -- enough updates and pictures to keep us happy, but certainly not an interference inn our away time. And it seemed like they enjoyed the local area, so they got to benefit from the exchange, too, which is largely the point of zeewoi. The cats were happy and healthy and the house was immaculate upon our return. We gladly recommend Lynda and her husband to anyone looking to have them house/pet sit.

I left my 2 cherished old kitties with Alix for 6 weeks and felt assured they’d be in good hands after Alix stopped by to meet us. Alix sent photos which clearly showed how comfortable they were with her. She reminded me when supplies needed reordering in a timely way. The apartment was neat and clean when I got home and the kitties were groomed, relaxed, and happy. Strongly recommend. Thank you Alix!

Kathleen and Kurt were wonderful sitters! Kathleen was extremely proactive with planning and communication leading up to the sit, and I got photos and texts regularly during the sit letting me know my pet was doing well. I was so happy to find such a good sitter over the holidays, and came home to a happy cat, clean house, lovely note and flowers!

Nic was a really top notch pet caregiver. Communicative, reliable, and generally affable. Highly recommended!

Dan and Claire were a joy to have take care of my dog Coco for 10 days. Not only was Coco kept clean and house cared for, but Coco had her own mini-vacation with day trip to Acadia for a hike, multiple trips to dog park with full bath after (muddy this time of year), and long daily walks and play time. I received daily updates with photos. I would welcome Dan and Claire back in my home anytime.

I have no reservations recommending Natalie as someone to help look after your house and pets. Aside from the concrete things necessary for a good sitter -- arriving at the time she said she could (mine was a very last-minute sitting request, so this piece could have been a challenge), being self-sufficient, taking care to keep things tidy, and enjoying spending time with (in my case) our dog -- Natalie is a lovely person and I'm happy to have met her. I could not return until about 8:30 pm, so she stayed over for that night and even took care of my dog's nighttime going-outside needs and fed her early in the morning so that I was able to get a really good night's sleep after chaperoning a group of 12 kids for two nights! We had time to talk and learn a little more about each other before she went on her way. Like Mary Poppins!

Cathy and Larry were wonderful sitters. Communicative and accommodating. My apartment was left as clean as I left it, and my kitties were exhausted and relaxed when I got home. I highly recommend them !

It was really great having Ashley here taking care of my dogs and goats. She is the kind of person who appreciates and is energized by natural beauty and life so I didn’t worry even for a second about my animals while I was gone on a business trip. when I came home, my house was very clean, and my animals were very happy. She even left me a litpiece of art.
