Pet Sitters in Montrose, NY

Nathaniel

Nate stepped in to help when I had a pretty last-minute cancellation from another sitter. He was organized, communicative, and took great care of my pets and place. I wish he hadn’t had to be here on the coldest weekend of the whole year!! Welcome back anytime!

Jesse & Sydney

I cannot say enough good things about this couple. All communication beforehand was reliable and clear. The morning I was to leave, my dog Pippin had a unexplained cut on her paw and was limping. Jesse & Syd were very ok with getting her to vet care, and also followed through faithfully w/ the recommendations. By the time I returned - Pippin was good as new. They also left my house in immaculate condition. They are the first sitters (out of 9?) who cleaned out the bathtub lint trap! Jesse & Sydney are organized, reliable, calm, independent, wise and truly the best.

Fang

Fong really came through for us last minute. She was flexible and communicative in setting up the visit and throughout. Raggie got lots of walks and movie nights! Thank you, Fong!

Mary

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 :)

Eirill

Eirill was such an amazing house sitter! Not only did she keep the house nice and tidy while we were gone, but she had great communication skills and most importantly, gave Tootsie the best care. We could tell how much Eirill really loved being with our cat and it meant a lot to us while we were far away. Eirill is welcome back any time, thank you so much for everything!

Rose

Rose was great. They were super flexible and patient in our drop off and pick up. Rose was incredibly trustworthy and reliable with my little one. I particularly appreciated Rose's calm and settled manner, which my dog needs. I never had to worry. On top of the pet care, my home looked like no one had been here. Rose took great care of everything. I highly recommend.

Stephanie

Stephanie was most excellent in all respects. She was able to come visit before the sit and immediately connected with Dulce. She is both professional and caring in equal measures. While away, she was totally responsive and when we returned from our trip, the house was immaculate and thoroughly clean. Dulce was sad to see her go. We give Stephanie our highest recommendation.

Nicholas

3 weeks was a long time to leave our elderly cat, Tiger, however, Nick looked after him wonderfully well. We came home to a happy cat who had clearly been given lots of attention and care. We would happily welcome Nick back for a future sit.

Michele

Our experience with Michelle was nothing less than perfect. We were able to meet in person before the sit which was helpful to establish our comfort with each other. We communicated nicely before the stay and during the stay. With Michelle our dogs, both older, were well taken care of! Having Michelle watch our house and dogs definitely made it easier to be away. She was absolutely wonderful!

Amanda

Amanda was an excellent sitter. We had a previous sitter for the same sit pull out, leaving us little time to find another. Amanda agreed to fly over from New York to help us out and communicated extensively in the run up to the sit, making us confident that she would not let us down. She has extensive experience with dogs and took excellent care of our pets. She gave us details and photos of the fun things they had done together - of which there were a great deal! She was independent and self-sufficient, having researched places to visit. It was not an issue for her that we live in the countryside, and she made the most of seeing as much as she could. She even managed to make Kubi dog-of- the-week on a local pub's Instagram! We returned to a clean and tidy house and a dog that had clearly been treated well. We would not hesitate to recommend Amanda as a house sitter, and hope to have her back some day in the future.

Dwaine

Dwaine was so kind to Maggie. Took pictures, played with her and always kept me in the loop with any questions and check ins. When he left, he left my apartment sparkling. I already have asked him to return.

Justine

Justine took excellent care of our dog, fish and our house. She was very clear and direct with quick response to any questions or concerns that arose. Her attention to detail was impressive along with her sense of responsibility and cleanliness to her surroundings. She understood the needs of our anxious dog and took great care of her while keeping us in the loop our entire 3-week trip, allowing us to relax without worry. We came home to a spotless and happy home, thanks to Justine! Would def have her housesit again.

Niamh

This was such an enjoyable sit from the moment we had an introductory zoom call until the time we left. Niamh and Philip were very open and clear about what they needed and the habits of Macchiato. On the morning of arrival we shared a coffee and were introduced to the boy and shown around the house. Additionally Philip had prepared an extensive information sheet on Macchiato, the house, walks. cafes etc. All very useful. We had a fabulous week with Macchiato and would be delighted if we had the chance to care for him again. He was almost kidnapped - by us not strangers😂. Thank you

Carli

I enjoyed looking after Carli's little crew and her lovely home for a few days. The kitties were so easy and very friendly. Minnie the pup is very cute, playful and full of energy and affection. While she was a bit naughty during my stay,  it wasn't really an issue for me as she was also a lot of fun :)

Natalie

We had such an enjoyable weekend with Olive and Lily. They were such sweet kitties! Natalie was a wonderful host. She provided us with wonderful recommendations for exploring her city and was available for any questions that we had during our stay. Her home was clean, comfortable, and inviting. We would definitely sit for her and her kitties again in the future!

Marylyn

From the moment I walked through their door Marilyn and Tim welcomed me like I was an old friend. Their clear,concise instructions were easy to follow and it was such an enjoyable week in their lovely home. Their pets are adorable and now that I am gone I  find myself missing them just a bit! I would love to return…..

Lexy

Lexy was absolutely wonderful, a total sweetheart.  Her husband was kind as well. She left some snacks and Netflix, who doesn't love that? Her home is right on the bay (STUNNING) and has all the amenities you could hope for and more. This sit might be more geared towards a assertive guy as Samson was a bit excited (?) and wanted to "cuddle" a lot. Be prepared to show these two a little extra love and attention (meds and lots of walks) and Mimi will always take some loving too. ? Lexy was also kind enough to replace and item Samson unfortunately tore apart thinking it was a chew toy ? hence the 4/5.  @bonvoyagebritnie for any questions!

Jen

Lots of helpful contact with Jen prior to my arrival for a short but very enjoyable cat sit with Poppy.   I was able to meet Poppy and Jen a couple of days before the start of the sit which was a wonderful opportunity to ensure that I knew all about Poppy's daily needs.  Jen's lovely home is very comfortable, warm and welcoming.

There is much to see and do in the neighbourhood and further afield with easy access on various transport links.   However, I was very happy to spend most of my time at home with Poppy, who has many favourite seats/spots to watch me from, if not snoozing.  She loves her treats after diligently using her scratch pads.

Jen had completed the online guide diligently so I had all the necessary information and more.  We kept in touch over the few days she was away which reassured us both that all was well.

I would highly recommend this cat sit, it was very sad to leave adorable Poppy.
