Dog Sitters in Putnam County, NY

Christy

Christy and Eric were absolutely amazing! They cared for our 2 dogs and cat exactly as we had hoped (and even did extra). They took them for walks and rides and administered oral medication to both dogs. Christy and Eric communicated throughout our 2 week vacation and gave us updates on the pets and the house. Christy and Eric were both very easy to talk to prior to the sit and they arrived on time as scheduled. They kept the house EXTREMELY clean and it seems as though we came home to a cleaner/tidier home than we left them. Christy and Eric were amazing pet sitters and we would definitely be more than happy to welcome them back into our home any time!

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.

Sarah

I can't say enough nice things about Sarah and her mom. It's not an exaggeration when I say they loved our Larry and our home like their own. Sarah is so kind, so responsible, and a dream sitter. We came home to a cleaner home than we left it and it was so helpful to reintegrate with that boost after our long travel back. Sarah and her mom are both like dog whisperers! Larry LOVER them! They made sure he had everything he needed but also kept him comfortable and happy despite his bouts of limping. I can't recommend Sarah enough and I hope she comes back to visit soon!

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.

Elizabeth

Elizabeth was truly the best!!! Friendly, kind, and a pleasure to work with. She went on hikes daily with Finn, something we really valued as finn is a high energy hunting dog. She sent photos of their adventures and gave us a detailed daily updates. For being the first time we left him that long, we were at ease knowing they were both in her hands! She is obviously experienced in caring for animals and I would recommend her to anyone. Cherry on top - she took great care of our home. She took the time to clean the bedding and tidy things up so when we came home after a long day of traveling, we could crawl straight into bed! She goes above & beyond!

Elizabeth

Mabel was in great hands with Elizabeth. She was relaxed and happy when I got home, my apartment was spotless, and Elizabeth was a great communicator while I was away. What more could you ask for? Would happily welcome Elizabeth back to stay with Mabel again.

Aracelis & Taylor

Celi and Taylor were excellent sitters. We got to meet them briefly before we departed which was great. They just sat for a weekend but communication was perfect and the house was left clean and tidy. It was clear they enjoyed spending time with the dogs and we appreciated that they even let the dogs cuddle with them at night. Would be happy to have them back.

Leslie

Leslie did a great job taking care of our four cats, our house was neat and clean, and we received lots of pictures from her daily - we can't thank her enough! Aside from an alarm on an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) in my office (she has NO blame for this one - it failed while we were gone!), she was self-sufficient and took care of all out plants and paid great attention to the cats!

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.

Suzi

Suzi was amazing!!! She was quick to respond to messages, was reliable, arrived on time and communicated clearly with me. She sent me updates with pictures when I was away and left my apartment cleaner than I left it for her! She even washed the sheets and towels. She was wonderful and I highly recommend her for future sits.

Tish

Tish was great! Ralph warmed to her immediately and he loved all the walking they did. Highly recommend!

Shauna & Chris

Five stars all the way through! Shauna was easy to communicate with and her love and care for pets came through from the get-go. She sat for our three-year old dog with her teenage son, who is also a gem. If you had told me a teenage boy stayed in our basement when I returned home, I wouldn't have believed it! They left the place cleaner and tidier than they found it, and took Luka on long walks - the first one right upon their arrival so we could finish our work days. Would absolutely have Shauna back!

Gaile

Jane has been our first zeewoi and she was fabulous, fitting in with our slight change of plan and assuring us of a relaxing, wonderful holiday.  She was confident  and reassuring with plenty of communication as and when needed with lots of photos of our cat, Oreo, looking very content.  Our home was immaculate on our return too with bed linen and towels washed which was really lovely.  We would welcome Jane back any time.  Purrfect as Oreo would say! 😺

Joanne

Julie and Aaron were two of the best sitters we have enjoyed having sit for our Toby. We enjoyed visiting with them when they first arrived and Julie could not stop offering to help with ANYTHING! 
We arrived home ( at 2 a.m. travel time) to an immaculate house. Toby had water inside and outside and food in his bowl. He had been so well cared for. 
We enjoyed Julie and Aaron so much, we wish they lived closer!!! We'd definitely be friends.

Sarah

Great sit! Lucy was healthy and happy when I returned home, and my apartment was clean and organized. Would recommend Rebecca for any of your sitting needs!
