Pet Sitters in Palentown, NY

Melina

Melina was AMAZING! I can’t say enough great things about her and how great she was with my dogs! I have 3 large dogs - 1 of which has arthritis issues with her hips & 1 has a need for constant attention, both of which she handled with ease. 3 large dogs in a large city is no small task and Melina exceeded all of my expectations! She did walks, gave tons of love, and sent great updates and pictures to me to keep my worry away! I honestly think the dogs were a little sad she had to leave to go back home. I will 100% recommend her to anyone and hope to book with her again!

Abigail

Abigail picked up a last minute sit request we put out, and everything worked out very well. We never got to meet or even do a call, but there was no need, as we communicated loads over WhatsApp, which was great and very reassuring. Abigail and her partner Jack bonded quickly with our cat and he was his happy usual self upon our return. The house was clean and tidy, and Abigail was super respectful and polite at all times - checking in that they could use the washing machine, and giving us nice photo updates of them with Puss. We would very much recommend Abigail as a sitter!

Angela

Angela was delightful to communicate with, and I loved that she sent pics regularly and obviously enjoyed taking care of my furballs. They seemed happy upon my return, and I could tell that they were well cared for and content. I'd recommend her wholeheartedly!!

Rachael

Rachel was an EXCELLENT communicator before, during.L, and even after her sit. I was incredibly appreciative of her updates and clarifying questions. All of which assured me Keiko and the chickens were safe and cared for.

Megan

Megan and Jelani were excellent pet sitters!! We have a hard time leaving our cat child because he is a senior with some recently diagnosed, beginning health problems. They were very responsive prior to the sit so we felt more comfortable leaving our baby. Most importantly, when we returned we could tell Zorro was clearly well taken care of and also entertained while we were away. He is very playful but it can take some patience for him to respond. We really appreciated this effort from Megan and Jelani. Communication was exactly what we hoped for and we never had to ask for updates. They let us know how he was eating and monitored his asthma. The house was clean when got home. We highly recommend Megan and Jelani, they are wonderful people who anyone would be lucky to have pet/house sit for them. We would also love to have them return!

Sabrina & Niles

I was very happy with Sabrina and Niles as our cat sitters! They arrived a day early to make sure there's enough time for us to show them everything, and they made sure to note down everything for later. Also, a huge thank you because our regular cat food and litter delivery was due during their sit and while it usually arrives in one go, this time it came split into four or five individual deliveries with one ending up at our neighbours. Sabrina and Niles made sure that everything was there and also went to the neighbour to pick up the last piece, and in the end build a nice cardboard box space that the cats absolutely loved (one of the boxes is still alive and is being used every day). We received daily updates and pictures too which I'm always super grateful for as it's the highlight of my day when I'm away. I can absolutely recommend Sabrina and Niles and would not hesitate to invite them back. :-)

Daye & Jun

Excellent, wonderful and amazing! This was our first time using zeewoi. I already had high expectations because my friends who turned me onto the service have loved their housesitters. Daye and Jun exceeded my expectations and then some! Primarily, I wanted someone who would take care of my garden and indoor plants as well as I do. I knew it was a challenging task to expect someone to do something like you would. But when we returned from our three week vacation, our garden looked amazing. I suspect, my plants would rather have Daye and Jun living here instead of me. And what a bonus! We left our house spotless and when we returned it was even cleaner than we left it. Still not sure how Daye cleaned our stove top to perfection. Really folks, I cannot recommend this couple more highly. I hesitate to say that because it probably means they will be in such high demand, and won't be available the next time I need them, but I wish the very best for them. And lucky you if you should be able to reserve them when you go out of town. If I could give them twenty stars I would.

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.

Anthony

Mia and Anthony were amazing sitters. I could not recommend them enough. They took care of our Smittens as if he was their own. They also provided me with numerous updates a day and made me feel very at ease. Smittens takes a while to warm up to new people but I could tell he had the absolute best time with Mia and Anthony. They also left the house very clean. We will certainly have Mia and Anthony stay with Smittens again!

Nic

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

Elizabeth

Lizzie was such a pleasure. The dogs adored her. She effortlessly blended into their routine, she took great care of them and my house. She has great attention to detail. It was so obvious the dogs loved her and thrived while we were away. I think they miss her!!! I would highly recommend this amazing young lady.

Victoria

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!

Allison

First, let me introduce Daisy, an absolutely charming and sociable dog who requires minimal care. She has a preference for ready-made meals, which can easily be heated up. Daisy is very friendly and expressive. Additionally, she is quite adaptable and can accompany you almost anywhere with great ease!

Now, let's talk about Alisson, an extraordinary and compassionate individual who has meticulously designed her stunning residence. The apartment offers a truly breathtaking view, and its location is absolutely ideal for exploring the charming neighborhoods of North Beach and Marina. Moreover, it is conveniently situated near the magnificent Grace Cathedral!

I had such a great a time and I can confidently say that I would be more than happy to sit for Alisson again in the future.

Brett

Brett was great host, very easy to communicate with and flexible with our arrival time. The location is pretty incredible, you'll find yourself in a little oasis within the city. 

What amazing cats Cleo and Kiki are. Their personalities are very yin-yang, but super sweet and loving within those realms. Kiki is very social and will literally become your shadow, she'll even greet you when you arrive home. And, if there's an opportunity for her to really get your attention, she'll pounce onto your shoulders! Cleo took a handful of days to warm-up to our presence, and when she did, she quickly turned into a lap cat! Both kitties are quite playful. Cleo seemed to enjoy the wand toy and Kiki LOVES the toy springs to chase and return to you. We will miss these two cats dearly, thanks for the experience Brett!

Jennifer

We thoroughly enjoyed our time near Lake Arenal with Pepper, Ashley, Maddy, Kanika, Oskar, and Amber. All four dogs and two cats are delightful to be with. Jennifer was a great host allowing us to stay with her the night before she left and the night after she came back. She offered to let us stay for longer. The house is full of interesting objects from around the world, and the grounds are beautiful. It's like staying in a museum in a tropical paradise with a gorgeous view of the lake. I think watching the butterflies pollinating flowers from the hot tub will remain one of the peak experiences of my life. The house is within easy walking distance of the small town of Nuevo Arenal. There are tons of places to enjoy the hot springs nearby. My husband took a dip in the lake, and the rain forest walk with the hanging bridges at Mistico is not to be missed.

Kelly

I really enjoyed my sit with Squeaks.  Like most cats, it took him a few days to warm up but once he did, I enjoyed his personality.  He is very easy to care for and we enjoyed watching bird videos together,  Staying at Kelly's was ideal.  The apartment was comfortable and I enjoyed my walks through the neighborhoods of Queen Anne.  Seattle is easy to get around on public transportation and there is no need for a car. I highly recommend this sit for anyone wanting to care for a sweet cat and visit the beautiful city of Seattle!

Nicki

Nicki was an amazing host. She made sure we had everything we needed for the sit and was nice enough to let us come a night early to do a good handover and get to know each other. The house was brilliant and her cats Rudy and Isi were a pleasure to look after. Marloes is a special little village and we got to know a bunch of the locals who were warm and welcoming too. Felt like we arrived as sitters but left as friends. Thanks Nicki for a wonderful sit!
