Pet Sitters in Rifton, 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!

Christine

Christine arrived the day before we left for holiday which gave us the opportunity to run through the instructions for the animals and the house with her. She is very calm and relaxed and nothing was too much trouble. She updated us whilst we were away to let us know everything was ok. We were due to get home very late so Christine stayed until the following day which was a huge relief, given that our flight home was delayed. We came home to happy animals and a clean house, thank you Christine.

Meritxell

Meri was lovely. Punctual, communicative and clean. I really appreciated that she sent me videos and photos of Riley while I was away missing her. And she was also very self-sufficient. I hope she comes to visit again.

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.

thomas

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 👍

Pete

Pete was a very reliable, animal-loving petsitter. I received regular updates about the well-being of my pets. My house was left behind clean and tidy. I hope that he can come back another time for petsitting.

Td & Hien

Thuy and her mother were perfect houseguests and pet sitters. They were extremely sweet and knowledgeable. I trusted them, and my dog was very comfortable with them. I would highly recommend them to anyone! They watered the flowers, they cleans everything they use, and after the house in a tidy orderly fashion. Our dog, Beth, clearly was well cared for. Sent me a pictures of their outings and playing ball in the yard. She cuddled with her on the couch. We were away for three nights, and Beth looked wonderful when we arrived home. She seemed calm and happy . Thuy communicated when she would arrive and when she was leaving the house and

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.

Nic

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

Elvira

While it's nice to have someone at the house while the owners are away, the most important thing for pet owners is someone to care for their pets. If I could give Elvira 10 stars for loving my dog and giving her special attention, I would! Elvira also texted me with daily photos and comments about the "walkies" my dog enjoyed. Plus, Elvira took on the additional task of conveying my dog to the groomer, and afterwards dosing her with flea/tick medication and a heartworm pill. Elvira and my dog look forward to seeing each other again, probably next spring when Elvira thinks she'll be back in the area.

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.

Emilia & Rodrigo

Emilia did a great job caring for our pets and was an ideal house sitter. She kept me updated on my pets and my home was clean and organized when we returned.

Lindsey

I loved housesitting for Lindsey! Offley is such a cutie and the two weeks I spent with him flew by. He’s gentle on a leash and great with other dogs and people. Lindsey’s apartment is spacious, comfortable, and located in one of the best neighborhoods in Denver — super walkable and close to restaurants, bars, fitness studios, parks, etc. Lindsey is a wonderful host and easy to communicate with. Handoff was seamless. I would housesit here again in a heartbeat. Thank you for having me!

Rebecca

Rebecca and Mark can best be described with a quick story. Before my housesit with their wonderful pets, we had a couple of meet and greets to introduce their animals to my pup, go over the routine and their home, walk the trails around the property, etc. We had planned to do this late one morning on my way back from another housesit. Well the other housesit was a disappointment for many reasons and I needed to leave extremely early (and without coffee!) because of the owners’ covid exposure. So I called Mark and Rebecca to see if I could come earlier than we had planned. Rebecca insisted I come for breakfast and they welcomed me so warmly, they immediately restored my faith in TH! Their gracious, kind and welcoming spirit continued throughout the housesit. They have a lovely home and property and make sure guests are comfortable with an extensive kitchen, comfortable bed, treats from the garden—the list goes on and on! And then of course let’s not forget about the furry hosts! I became completely and totally enamored with Kate and took many trips down to the barn just to say hello to her and Ruby who’s also wonderful. Note I have very little experience around horses but the routine was easy and I always had a barn door or gate between me and these powerful beauties. Pusa seemed to really warm up to us even though my pup Camp and Xena tried everything to get her to play with them. And yes Xena is an irresistible little puppers that will surely steal your heart though she mostly paid attention to my pup/her new bestie. Ha! And even though Zoey only stayed with us a couple of days, she has a wise and loving personality about her and I actually asked Rebecca and Mark if I could keep her the whole time if I’m back for another house sit in the future. So all in all it’s a big yes on these pets, owners and housesit.

Sara

For those of you considering a pet sit with Sugar, she’s an amazing dog, great disposition, great on leash and somewhat of a neighborhood celebrity. We were impressed with how many people we met while walking her … everyone knows Sugar!

Then there are the hosts, Sara and Chris, who were so welcoming. The communication pre-visit and during our stay was awesome, with frequent texts promptly replied to. And upon arrival, we were given a full tour of their house and recommendations on Sugar’s favorite places to visit … Dog Beach is a must!

Their beautifully renovated home is a great hangout, with a well-appointed kitchen and large island. But our favorite spot was the front porch, with bench swing, hanging out with Sugar and getting to meet so many wonderful neighbors.

Then there’s beautiful Coronado, with great walkability to restaurants, shops and the Hotel del Coronado. Additionally, the ferry to San Diego is a short walk away.

Sara, Chris and family, we can’t thank you enough for allowing us into your beautiful home and allowing us to spend time with Sugar! Our visit was exceptional!

Jennifer

Porto and Kummel are dream dogs: affectionate, not barky, lovely friendly little chaps. Jenny's house is as wonderful as it looks and the area is great for exploring. Walks are from the doorstep through fields and past churches, streams and weirs. Langport is lovely, and The Bridge Canteen and The Old Dairy in nearby Martock are both great. An outstanding housesitting experience! Thanks x

Sean and Columbia

My time at Anam Cara was very special. I received the most warmest of welcomes, a guided tour of the local dog walks and was presented with a welcome guide packed with useful info.
The beauty of Co.Donegal is well documented, and Brinlack and the surrounding area certainly delivers, it is simply stunning. The sea views, mountain landscapes and the ever changing weather fronts are a joy to be part of, or to watch from the front room.
Spending time with the 3 'kids' was the perfect antidote to 6 months of Covid lockdown. To be able to watch Einstein hunting & chasing rabbits, Lugh chasing the sea birds on the beach and having Siog walking by your side was heart warming. They were all well behaved and loving dogs, and keeping the peace between them all was simple by following the rules/tips.
Sean & Columbia are such a lovely couple and their pet sitting opportunity is not to be missed. Thank you so much, I would love to return some time soon.

Annie

Annie and Josh were simply incredible. From our initial FaceTime chat, to meeting in person, and through our subsequent  communication throughout the sit, they were simply amazing.  They were beyond kind with both their home and their time, and getting to chat with them for a while before they left for their flight was absolutely wonderful! Seriously you could not ask for two better people!

Avery is an absolute gem 😌 Even though she is older and can’t go too far on her walks, she gets SO excited the moment you grab her leash! She truly loves sitting outside in the sun and just bathing for as long as possible. She’s extremely low maintenance, super chill, and our nights just relaxing on the couch we’re so rejuvenating and rewarding.  Loved her to pieces and was so grateful for the time we spent together! 

This sit was nothing but relaxing and I couldn’t’ recommend it more. Just a truly warm and wonderful environment with a fantastic doggo and two awesome dog parents!
