Pet Sitters in Sayreville, NJ

Ke

Ke was an excellent sitter! We ended up having to extend our trip unexpectedly and were so grateful that she was able to extend her time with Bo. She was very self-sufficient, tidy, and sent great pics of Bo which we always appreciate. It was obvious that she really enjoyed hanging out with him and giving him lots of cuddles and attention. We'd have her back any time!

Lisa

Lise was amazing! She is great at communicating before, during and after sit and very clean. She took wonderful care of our two small dogs and our home. She was very understanding and flexible in arrival/departure. We had to shorten the sit due to illness and Lise was very accommodating. Looking for another opportunity for Lise to housesit.

Kuffasse

Kufasse was ray of sunshine and extremely loving with our sphinx clowder. She bonded with them quickly, juggled multiple dietary restrictions and sent frequent updates. She made being away a very carefree experience.

Jane

Jane saved the day when I had to leave in the middle of the night, and she was super flexible with handing over the keys and getting Lucy/the apartment ready for the next dog sitter to take over. She made me feel so much less stressed with having to leave last minute, and it seems like Lucy warmed up to her right away, so you can tell she’s a dog person! I will definitely be using Jane again in the future :)

Elly

Ellie took incredible care of our animals and house. Our older dog pulled a muscle while with her and she cared for her so attentively. Our house was spotless and tidy on our return. Ellie is great.

Adri

We felt comfortable and confident with Adri even from the video chat interview. She asked intelligent and pertinent questions and read the Welcome guide thoroughly. Adri settled in well and took Lola on many adventures. When we returned our car and house were left clean and tidy and garden thriving. Thank you Adri!!

Deborah

I was a little worried leaving Geeta (my sr dog) this time - nothing to do with Debbi, but the older Geeta gets, the more stressed she becomes with change. Debbi took great care of her - all text and photo updates indicated Geeta was behaving normally, and when I got home it was clear she had made a new friend! Overall, I would have Debbi back again - this despite some remote hand-holding I had to do while on vacation regarding the operation of some amenities, and more post-sit cleaning, mostly in the kitchen and 2nd bathroom, than I’m used to. If you’re better at providing instructions/setting expectations than I am, or the little stuff doesn’t bother you, then don’t hesitate to choose Debbi!

Alison & Bob

The only bad part of this sit is that I didn't get to personally meet Bob and Alison! My housekeeper initiated them to our home and our assistant coordinated with them regarding firewood delivery. Both commented on how very nice they were. The communication before, during and after could not have been better. Our home was left in perfect condition and the kitties were calm and happy when we arrived home. We had unseasonable cold weather, which meant the water feature was turned off, many plants were covered with sheets, and I.m sure Alison and Bob spent more time indoors than they would have preferred. I hope that they will come back again when the conditions are more favorable. They did not complain at all and were such a pleasure. Bob did an especially nice thing for us while we were gone, but I'm not going to say what it was or every future host may expect the same. I highly recommend Alison and Bob.

Leo & Phillip

Leo and Phillip were exactly who we needed when we had a long weekend away and our pups needed someone to take care of them. Leo responded quickly and accommodated our schedule and took care of a few small requests around the house that came up while we were gone. Thanks again Leo and Phillip and best of luck with your work!

Christina & Benjamin

OMG! I am not sure we WANT To write a review because we selfishly want to keep Ben and Christina all to ourselves!!! This was our first, and their first booking with zeewoi. It was absolutely fanTASTIC! AND, we have new friends that we adore. They lovingly cared for our critters, sending daily journals and photos of their days together. We worried about their separation angst as our return date approached. We saw it in their eyes when we said good bye at the ferry, as we arrived home and they were in line to catch the ferry to the airport. When we got home, overjoyed to see Murphy, Bousa our cat, our 18 canaries and pond full of koi. But is does not end there! They had prepared fresh pesto from garlic and basil from the garden....homemade chicken parmesana AND a delicious fruit tart with berries from our garden! We LOVED this zeewoi experience and will be changing our spring travel times to be able to book Christina and Ben back, fitting in with their schedule!

Sarah

Sarah was wonderful to our young pup, Oatmeal! She sent us daily updates and made him feel loved while we had to be away. We didn't have to worry knowing she was caring for him so well. She left our house clean and even cleaned the sheets for us after our late flight back to town.

Mary

Mary was amazing - took great care of my fur babies (even added one to the list last minute and she was SO understanding!) and my house - highly, highly, highly recommend!

Carl

It was an absolutely pleasure to sit for Lis and Carl, and Rudy, miss Tibbs and Percy; the most loving and friendly pets! We had such a warm welcome by the family and the pets and we felt right at home, right away. The beautiful house kept us incredibly comfortable and the family made sure we were happy throughout, with great communication before, during and after our stay. The surroundings are simply stunning and it’s so quiet and peaceful, we absolutely loved our time here and will be more than happy to come back at any time! We miss the animals already!

Colette

Suki is the most amazing cat we've ever seen. She has quite a repertoire of tricks, including high five, sit pretty and go through the tube. We enjoyed getting to know her. Colette was an excellent host and even took time to give us a virtual tour of her place as we had a change in flight times and couldn't make it to her place before she headed out. It was nice to meet her when she returned, and we were happy to hear about her success in the triathlon.  We would be happy to sit Suki again anytime.

Felipe

I had a great time caring for Chopper while at Felipe and Sandra's home. Such a lovely animal and the location was great - close to beaches and attractions. I hope to be able to visit them again!

Harriet

Harriet was so nice and friendly! Very good communication and caring.
The 3 cats were adorable and funny especially Dora. The house was more than expected, very cute little room with a view.
I even had the chance to have dinner with them before they left and that was a very friendly moment.
The place is 10 minutes walk from the train station (very safe area for solo female)
I definetely recommend this sit!

Colette

Housesitting for Colette was Great! She really went out of her way to make sure that I was comfortable and I had everything I needed. Her home is quiet, yet close to anything you could possibly need. Nip and Tuck both warmed up to me very quickly. I would definitely housesit again for Colette!

treeny

Truly one of the easiest, most wonderful sits ever!  The owner was super kind and easy going. Her furry pet babies reflected the same classy family environment. 

Gia the cat is toilet trained so there is NO litter box! So easy going and loveable and I’ve take a thousand pics of her exotic beauty. 

As for Ms Maisy, I am now asking for shared custodial rights to this highly intelligent Boston Terrier…her capacity to understand the most subtle of emotional signals was astounding. I want visitation rights!!! 

Such an honor to be with these 2 lovebugs! Hope to be called again for them (soon please!)
