Pet Sitters in Prospect Heights, NY

Jessica & Victor

Jessica and Victor are beginning to feel like part of the family. We couldn’t recommend them more and Boots is clearly very happy in their company. We trust them implicitly and are always relaxed and happy knowing Boots is in their care whilst we’re away. They keep to Boots’ routine perfectly and I can tell they allow her to be part of their lives whilst up here. The house was perfectly kept - the thank you letter that arrived in the post yesterday was just the icing on the cake. We hope we have MANY more sits to come. Jessica and Victor, thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts!

Angelica

Angelica was perfect - she took great care of our beloved Simon and was a delight to coordinate with beforehand. This was my first experience booking through zeewoi and Angelica made it easy - by asking appropriate care questions beforehand, to taking great photos and being in touch daily during, and by leaving the place cleaner than we left it after the sit. It could not have gone better.

Ziiomi

Ziiomi was super easy going and was kind enough to come a little earlier to meet the dogs so they could get comfortable with her. She was communicative throughout and sent us updates regularly. Everyone seemed comfortable with her and we had zero issues whatsoever. Would have her back again!

Mary Kate (MK)

MK was an absolutely wonderful cat/house sitter. I was pretty nervous about leaving my cats for 2 months but all was fine. MK works remotely so she was home with the cats almost every day. There were photos of “Baby” on the table next to MK’s laptop as she worked. They got plenty of attention. She spoiled them with new toys and spent “floor time with them regularly. The house was thoroughly cleaned upon my return and she was kind enough to volunteer to stay a few extra days in case anything came up on my road trip. In all, you couldn’t leave your pets and home in better hands. I’m truly hoping she can stay again in the future.

Natasha

Natasha was a wonderful cat sitter. I recommend her.

Vanessa

I couldn't have asked for a better housesitter than Vanessa and her mother Pat. We enjoyed meeting them for dinner the night before our trip, and Vanessa communicated with us throughout our trip to let us know everything was going great. One of our senior animals requires medication and TLC, and she took it in stride and gave her all the love I would have. We came home to a tidy home and happy pets. I would highly recommend Vanessa for your sit and would be happy to have her again!

Adule

Adule was wonderful! Onyx seemed comfortable with her right away! I came home to a clean house and a happy content cat! Highly recommend :)

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!

Bweela

Bweela was absolutely amazing! Communicative, flexible, shared wonderful pictures throughout her stay showing me how comfortable and happy my babies were with her. I would happily have her come stay again.

M

M was a fantastic & ideal sitter! They were organized, communicative, tidy, self sufficient, and caring toward our 4 pets. They were responsible and I never had to worry about the animals or the house. I would recommend them to anyone & would have them sit for me again in a heartbeat!

Anne

Anne was just amazing! She let us know when she was leaving on the journey from NY to NC, posted her progress toward an on-time arrival, and was in communication with us throughout the process. She sent pictures and videos of her time with our two large dogs and left the place spotless. She even stripped the bed! We highly recommend!

Kathleen

I cannot say enough good things about Kate and Marty! They were both absolutely phenomenal! We received frequent updates and photos of our kitties and we knew our fur babies were in great hands. It made being away from them (and our house) stress free so that we could enjoy our trip. The house was spotless when we came home and the kitties seemed so relaxed and well cared for. I highly recommend them for your situation and welcome the opportunity to be able to invite them back! Thank you both so much!

Sue was a fantastic sitter! She communicated well and took great care of our dog Schatzi.  She left our apartment clean and Schatzi was happy and healthy when we returned.  We would welcome Sue to sit for us in the future!

Sitting Robin was was very lovely experience and also very fun because of Robin´s  playfulness.
 Federica´s apartment was very clean and she gave me clear istructions for everything regarding Robin´s care and apartment.
Also Federica was very kind and helpful during my stay, I really appreciate that :-)

Shannon

AMAZING!!! Would absolutely stay again!

melanie

For our first sit, we learned a lot.

John & Christy

I met up with John and Christy before the sit, to have a run through, and meet the boys Oreo and Ralph, give them a chance to meet me, and make the handover less stressful for them.
A very beautiful house, Christy and John’s creation together, comfortable and so interesting.
The boys, both rescues , are reserved and study you intently haha but I must have passed (as the feeder) and they kept me company in the kitchen most of the time.
I really enjoyed being with them, and happy to take care of them for their mum and dad.
John and Christy are wonderful hosts, welcoming and fun to talk to.
One day was too hot for the cats, so I went off to the beautiful gardens at Leonardslee, whilst they siestered, not even missed till dinner time haha cupboard love, but I’m happy with that.
Would be very happy to sit again.

Marisol

This was my first pet-sitting experience through TrustedHousesitters, and it super smooth. 
Before the sit, I had several questions, and Marisol was always there to answer, putting me into comfort. On the first day, Morgan picked me up from the airport, which was a huge relief and made my arrival worry-free.
Looking after Oli was a pleasure. He's a sweet, calm and smart dog, always letting me know when he needed to go out to the patio or wanted some cuddles. A great and chilled companion. 
The house had everything I needed for my stay, including an external screen which made remote work a breeze.
 
Being able to use the car was a fantastic bonus. It allowed me to explore the beautiful countryside and check out the beaches Morgan recommended. The house’s location was just right, with the city center within walking distance.
 
I’m thankful for this experience, missing Oli a lot 🧡

John

John communicated well, was relaxed and delighted to have found this site to make visiting friends and family abroad easier.  We shared our experiences so far and kept in touch.

Max was full of energy and very fond of playing fetch. He was great company and very easy to look after. I will certainly miss all our cuddles. 

I had a lovely time and look forward to seeing both John and Max again soon
