Pet Sitters in Passaic County, NJ

Andreea

I could not have asked for a better house sitter than Andreea and her family. They went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and took great care of my pup and home.

Clarice & Tom

To sum up Clarice and Tom’s 25 Day Housesit for me in one word, ‘exceptional’. Clarice and Tom are beautiful souls, I knew this from our first video call. I also ascertained from this call that they had a big love of animals and that they were totally committed to taking excellent care of my pets and my home. There was something very special about this couple. And as time went on, this was very evident…… It is extremely difficult to fully capture the extraordinary work that this couple did during their stay. To begin with, they took excellent care of Maia and Lucy, my dogs. Lucy is a sheep dog cross, and a more outdoor than indoor dog. Lucy became Tom’s shadow. Tom did a lot of training with her, and this was very obvious from the moment I came in the door, and from reports from my sister and father who had witnessed this on their visits. They also looked after my two pet sheep, Lola and Zola, giving them fresh water, grain and hay every day; and took great care of my two cats, Ebonii and Stella Artois. Tom asked me if he could build a shelter for my Beloved Donkey, Nobby. I was beyond thrilled and very impressed to say the least. Tom proceeded to build the most amazing shelter for Nobby, dismantling the large old monstrosity that previously existed. This was the most precious gift to me. Nobby absolutely loves it and now spends most of his time in his very own ‘bachelor pad’. It’s a perfect build and visually very pleasing. I can’t imagine how much it would cost to pay somebody to build an equivalent. In addition, they groomed and brushed Nobby, and gave him fresh water and hay every day. Nobby looked wonderful and befitting of his new pad. Tom also took it upon himself to fix the lock on my front door, & to rebuild my large front wooden gate which was falling apart. Both masterfully done. I only wish that I could include ‘before’ and ‘after’ pictures with this review. He also reinforced and mended the extensive fencing around the farm. I came home to all these wonderful surprises, as well as a perfectly groomed front lawn. Clarice sent me extensive daily updates and pictures. I am normally very anxious while I’m away, but, from the getgo, I felt relaxed at the end of every day, and content in the knowledge that my pets were being so well looked after. At one stage, Tom and Clarice called me to tell me that my dog Lucy needed to go to the vet - they had got an odour from Lucy, and based on their previous experience, correctly identified that her anal glands most likely required draining. They proceeded to take her to the vet, and had her treated. Tom and Clarice showed their great compassion and generosity by visiting my elderly father who lives next door on various occasions, and taking him to the nearest town to meet my brother. My brother would then take my father for a spin in his haulage truck. They also attended his 94th birthday party!! Tom and Clarice collected me from the bus on my return (they had dropped me to the bus on the morning of my flight too). I came home to a beautifully clean and tidied house and a gorgeous vegetarian meal prepared from scratch by Clarice. I have already asked Tom and Clarice to do my three/ four week sit next summer too, but unfortunately they’ll be on the other side of the world by then. I am so grateful to them for everything. They have promised to come visit Tim, me, and all the pets soon. They are forever friends and I feel truly blessed to have met these ‘Heaven sent’ people and housesitters. To whoever is lucky enough to have Clarice and Tom housesit for you, Congratulations, you’ve struck Gold!!!

Maisha

Maisha took great care of my two kitties (even the one who is riddled with anxiety), and I came back to two happy and relaxed cats. Oh, and my apartment was clean and tidy as well.

alexey

Alexey did a great job communicating and left my home just as she found it. She's very self-sufficient and was responsive to questions on my end, but seemed to handle everything well and didn't have too many questions or asks from me during my trip. My cat, plants, and home were loved and cared for :)

Edgardo F

First time app user and Ed was great! Highly recommended. One of my dogs needed a bit more attention with daily medication and due to her side effects needing more frequent bathroom breaks. I was gone for about 15 days and came back to the same condition as I left it plus the dogs clearly enjoyed his company. Thank you!

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 :)

Morgan

Morgan was able to doggy sit our sweet girl Molly, whilst we were overseas. She kept in contact with us, providing daily updates, and left the house in a perfect state. Our girl has had a really tough time the last twelve months, so we were quite anxious, but Morgan helped keep our minds at ease before and during her stay. Molly takes a while to trust people and Morgan certainly did her best to make Molly feel safe. Really grateful to Morgan for looking after Molly.

Danielle

Danielle and Dwight took great care of our fur babies, they were great communicators and sent lovely pictures and videos. They let us know when they arrived, left the house in great order, and were proactive about discussing the end of the sit. I would happily have them back.

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!

Vlada & David

I would've never known that this was Vlada and David's first time on the app -- they handled it like pros! Kind, thoughtful, reliable, clean, perfect pros! I loved the updates on Tony throughout their stay - they took cuter pictures of him than I do - and I felt totally at ease and comfortable the entire sit. Thank you all so much, you are welcome back ANY time!

Ethan

Ethan. Did a fantastic job looking after Thor and Lissy while we were away. He regularly gave updates as well. He also kept the house tidy and watered our plants. It was a real pleasure meeting him before hand and we knew the buns would be in safe hands. We would recommend him to anyone needing a sitter

Francesco

Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!

Anet

Drew has an amazing gift of being organized and efficient.  He walked Shelby, our Belgian Malinois several times a day and sent us a daily map routine so we could see his adventures with her!  He also played frisbee with her everyday because that is her favorite activity.  He kept the house clean and neat despite the shedding of our dog and 2 cats.  He watered both our indoor and outdoor plants and we have a number of both! Our 2 cats, Bentley and Tessi warmed up to him quickly and found a safe and loving place on his lap. 
He gathered our mail, took out the trash & recycle, made sure our dog run stayed clean & scooped the cat litter box on a daily basis.
Drew was very prompt in answering questions as well as sharing photos of our pets while we were on our trip. 
He also made sure everything stayed neat and organized in our home. 
My husband & I were pleased to visit with him on our return trip and share some of his experiences and enjoy his kind and friendly personality. 
We would welcome him again to sit at our home in a heartbeat!

Matt

I’ve just spent a wonderful month looking after Remy in Matt & Paula’s stunning home.

Remy has been an extremely well behaved and sensitive, gentle companion. I feel he’s looked after me every bit as much as I’ve looked after him. He was very easy to care for and is very independent around his home and garden. He’s a senior chap in numbers, but almost nothing else… just a delightful boy whom I will miss over these coming days.

Matt and Paula, and son Harry, were extremely open hearted and generous hosts, they ALL welcomed me into the family before and after their holiday… feeding me beautiful food, having me to stay extra nights and expanding me with their interesting, caring and light hearted company. I had a really really lovely time you three - thank you!!!
[They are very invested in you as a sitter having a wonderful stay.]

The house itself is a very special space, beautifully open with a really relaxed, calm energy and stunning views out across the countryside. I wanted for nothing and felt very lucky to be staying somewhere so gorgeous.

There is an incredible farm shop about 5mins in the car, and the beautiful Malvern hills 30mins in the car.

This was a very special sit… I can’t recommend it highly enough. Thank you Matt, Paula and Harry for trusting me with beautiful Remy, making me feel so welcome, appreciated and invested in. As a sitter on the road a lot, it was a really wonderful experience, I appreciate your care and hospitality so much.

See you all soon hopefully.

Rina

Hana is such an adorable kitty: so loving and lovable. While she loves sitting right next to her human, she is not pushy and will give you all the space you may need. But what I loved the most, and what kept waking up my motherly instincts, were her occasional very soft and sweet meows. What a perfect pet. 

Like Hana, Rina is a lovely host, very easy to communicate with.

The accommodation is a comfortable one-bedroom apartment with all amenities in a very central yet residential area, from which you can easily stroll to the city center (Stureplan) in approximately 30 minutes, or take a 10 minute ride by bus.

All in all, it is highly recommended sit

Sheila

Poveys Cottage at Stoney Heath was a very enjoyable and rewarding sit for us, taking care of the excellent home here and Guille and Bramble, the spaniels, and Jasper the cat, not forgetting the chickens. Walking the dogs every morning was a pleasure, especially watching them run around off the lead seeking out any new scents.
This would be an even better sit in warmer months spending time in the gardens and the pool.
Much recommended and of course we would be more than happy to return should we be asked.

Nichola

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay with Izzy and the two cats who needed a bit of wrangling.  Lovely quiet location and a protected outdoor area perfect for sitting out in all weathers to read and relax.   Izzy is an absolute delight and a great companion.   I was made to feel very welcome and left with enough information to ensure I enjoyed a stress free stay.   I would highly recommend this sit.

Sarah

Short but a sweet sit!! We were welcomed with a beautiful sign at the front door from the dogs and Sarah. Also a nice welcome package for the both of us.  The card from the dogs was very sweet. 
An added bonus is that she had two myki (metro cards) for us to borrow which made transportation to and from her place excellent. 
Sarah’s home is comfortable, and very neat and tidy.  Grayson and Mina were very well behaved both on their walks and in the home. We would definitely sit here again. 
Thank you Sarah for trusting us with your home and more importantly your doggies.

Peter

We had a MARVELOUS stay at the Baker's house.
We had the opportunity to meet two Amazing persons. We were so well welcomed ! 
We were lucky to spend time together, and we shared beautiful moments. 
Missy and Mattie are so lovable and so easy to take care of. Roméo is aptly named, and he is  so charming. The horses are wonderful, too. 
What an incredible stay! 
More than a house sitting, we had the chance to enlarge our family! ❤️
Thank you so much for everything Vicki and Peter!
With love, Mariame & Awa
