Pet Sitters in Plattekill, NY

Eileen

Eileen was an excellent house and pet sitter. She maintained regular communication. Easily problem solved the few issues that arose with one of our cats. We arrived home to a spotless house, happy cats and a note offering her thanks. We were very happy with the care she took over her 2week stay.

Lauren

10/10 Lauren was an excellent house sitter and buddy for Buddy! The morning we left, we got an alert that our cable/internet was down. Lauren was unbothered and gracious that first day as we were (unsuccessfully) trying to resolve with Comcast remotely. Long story short, Lauren jumped on a call with my husband and customer care to be able to resolve it manually from our home. She took the stress out of a stupidly stressful situation. : ) Lauren was lovely to communicate with, responsive and took the best care of our home and our little Bud. You would be lucky to have Lauren sit for you and we would love to have her back for a longer stay. <3

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.

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. :-)

Sarina

Sarina was great! She sent plenty of updates and played with my cat Nomi and when I returned to the apartment it was perfectly clean. Highly recommended.

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.

Thank You! My house and pets were happy after I was away for a week. Macy enjoyed the hike that you took her on. And I know the cats became your friends. I also appreciate the fact that you tried to get my leaf blower going and help clean up a two acre yard. I enthusiastically endorse you for future sits. Thank you again 👍

Amy

We had the delight of hosting Amy and her Mom. They were very clean and responsible. They followed all of our instructions aside from sending daily updates. Due to our pets being older, we tend to worry a bit and found ourselves messaging to check on them rather than receiving updates. If you would like updates often, make sure to communicate that early on. I would recommend Amy for any sits you have available.

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!

Sam & Miguel

Sam and Miguel are outstanding house and pet sitters! They took great care of my dog, including doing a consult with my vet when she seemed a little sick. I came home to a house and yard that were in better shape than when I left it! I would highly recommend Sam and Miguel. They are kind, compassionate and take their responsibilities to your pet and your home very seriously. I'm hoping to get them back for another sit in the future!

Natalie

Natalie is a fantastic sitter and human! Our pets loved spending time with her and she seemed to truly delight in their personalities. She sent awesome pictures and gave regular updates. It was wonderful to meet her and we felt great knowing such a lovely person was with our pets.

Dana

Dana was great she went above and beyond loving our dogs and caring for the house

Nina

Nina was so great and her place was clean and very charming. Boz and Artie are so sweet and 
playful, I really enjoyed spending time with them!

Lisa

Lisa was a joy to sit for and was generous and responsive throughout the sit. Xena is an absolutely precious girl and will follow you wherever you go. She will love to just be near you and loves cuddle and to go on her walks. Xena is easy on the leash and understands basic commands. If you really want to get Xena's engine running, just ask her if she's seen a squirrel (emphasis on the word squirrel)! 😄 

I highly recommend this sit and would sit for Xena again!

Clare

Lovely sit! Clare's home is clean and tidy, has everything you'd need and is beautifully warm in the cold weather. It's well positioned too, so close to public transport and there's a fabulous local market less than 5 mins away. You've also got a lot of history in the area (look out for the oldest canal in London). I felt safe in the area as a single female sitter. 

Walnut is a darling. She's a very affectionate dog, easy going and you can let her run off the lead, her recall is excellent. She's easy to look after and if there's anything she's not keen to do (like have her jumper put on when it's cold) she readily agrees if you offer her a treat. She doesn't pull on her lead, she's great with other dogs, not a big barker, just lovely. 

I really enjoyed this sit, it's highly recommended and I would happily sit for Clare and Walnut anytime.

Maia

I loved hanging out with Lola! She is an absolute gem and very well behaved. Maia left very clear instructions and made things so easy! Great area of DC, I loved taking Lola with me to movie night in the park and patio dinners. 12/10 experience

Lauren

Lauren was an exceptional host! She was flexible with my schedule and very welcoming. During our initial walkthrough, she was very detailed with instructions in tending to her home and pets which I appreciated. Her house is cozy, located in a quiet neighborhood, and furnished with art that reflected her life and travels, which I enjoyed hearing about. 

Fluffy Opal loooooved being outside and warmed up to me over time. Sweet Pearl was a breeze to watch. We were besties almost instantly and I adored sharing the bed with her at night. I completely enjoyed my stay, alongside getting to know Lauren, and would housesit again any time!

Anne

Two wonderful dogs. Well behaved and loved.  Love a walk or two and the ball.
A very easy going sit!  Wonderful pets, people and places.  Anne couldn’t do enough. I felt welcomed from the very beginning.
