Pet Sitters in Shenandoah, NY

Andrea & Robert

Andrea and Robert were wonderful pet sitters. The dogs took to them right away. They were totally reliable and we felt completely confident with them in our house. Great communication before and during. Hope they might be willing to sit again.

Cintia & Luiza

Cintia was so nice and a wonderful pet sitter for Mopsy and Sadie. The kitties enjoyed hanging out with her! Cintia was very communicative with us while we were away giving us updates and sending pictures of Mopsy and Sadie. There was a situation with Sadie and Cintia immediately notified us and resolved the issue. We would definitely recommend Cintia.

Milton

Milton was the perfect dog sitter for Aldo. We would have him back anytime! Caring, organized, great communication. Took Aldo on amazing walks and activities. He is such a happy dog!! 10/10 from us.

Kristen

Warm, communicative. Loved hvng her.

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.

Lauren

I feel so absolutely lucky that our home was graced by Lauren, her mom, and her dog Fluffer and that our dogs received SO MUCH LOVE from them. They were so easy to communicate with, and even offered different levels of communication while we were away depending on whether or not we wanted time away or if we wanted all the updates and pics. Fluffer was such a nice and calming presence for our dogs. I think it was such a lucky opportunity to have such a sweet and gentle therapy dog there to set a good example of interaction for our own. Lauren was able to be flexible and stay with us a night early. I always know our dogs are well taken care of when we come home and they’re at such ease. The house was probably cleaner than we left it. I couldn’t have asked for more. Lauren is such a wonderful human, and feel so so lucky to have had her and Fluffer in our home.

Danica

Danica was great!! Very responsible and communicative. She sent us pictures and videos of our little corgi when we were gone. She is an animal lover and played ball and frisbee games with Bayley and took long walks. We felt at peace while we were away for the week knowing our little pup was taken care of. She left our home organized and clean. We feel very comfortable recommending her for others!!

Charlotte

Charlotte was wonderful. Our dog Poe took a liking to her right away. She asked questions to make sure she was doing all the things we needed done both for Poe and for our home. She was communicative and shared updates on Poe during our trip. She left the house clean and secure. She made sure that Poe got plenty of exercise while we were gone. We would definitely have Charlotte sit for us 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.

Julie

Julie did a great job sitting with Hava. She was reliable, very self-sufficient, and kept us posted once a day as requested. She brought her own pup, Rooney, for the sit, and Hava really groved on having a live-in friend. We came back to a very clean apartment and a happy, healthy Hava.

Thomas

Very happy with Thomas! My kitties were so happy when I got home :) and he was very flexible with the time. 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!

Jane

Beth and Charlie were great pet and house sitters.  We couldn’t have asked for anyone better.  Pooches were happy and our home, plants, etc. we’re very well cared for and clean.  They were great at communicating prior to coming and left a good note and even left a beautiful bouquet of flowers!

mary

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Mary and Jonathan’s lovely old house surrounded by a verdant paradise! 
It’s a very rural setting with marvellous wooded backdrops either side of the house, plenty of walks from the door and lots of nearby places of interest to visit, and if you enjoy birdwatching, you couldn’t choose a better place.
We spent most of our time renovating and tending the gardens and vegetable patch , the parterre and conservatory, and rebuilding some of the stonewalls! Not really in the remit of house sitters we know but just couldn’t resist, having both had gardening businesses all our working lives.
Mossy and Ginger are two delightful, friendly cats who love lots of company and were absolutely no problem to look after .
The chickens were very likeable and even gave us some eggs whilst the sheep took care of themselves.
A very comfortable and interesting place to have as a base for exploring the beautiful county of Herefordshire.

Kurt R

Kurt was a great, flexible communicator and 7-11 was a wonderful weekend companion for me! The home and location were a true treat - I even got to take a brief right-out-the-door mountain hike and visit the museum up the street before they closed for the 'lockdown.' 7-11 was a joy to spend time with in this lovely home with so much charm in a terrific location. Tops all around!!!

Felicity

We had a lovely stay in Leeds looking after Oscar, Poppy and Binky. We went over for a weekend to meet the pets and have a look around the house. The house is beautiful, very spacious and well decorated. The pets were well behaved, easy to manage and were able to be left alone for a few hours at a time. Felicity was extremely informative and helpful with instructions. We would stay again for a quiet weekend away in central Leeds.

Laura

It was an enjoyable stay at Laura's house with her gentle cat Mia. Laura sent me videos in advance with the important info. (And thanks for being flexible RE my work schedule on the Saturday). Mia is lovely and easy to care for. All in all a lovely stay.

Simon

Amazing puppy, beautiful house and really lovely hosts! We had a brilliant time at Simon and Tizzy's home in Yalding. Raggie is an absolutely adorable puppy who welcomed us to his home with hugs and kisses. Our room was 
very comfortable and had a relaxing view over the garden. Although we didn't get to meet Simon and Tizzy in the end due to flight delays, their communication was so great that we felt we knew them personally by the end of the weekend. There are lovely pubs and beautiful country walks nearby and the river next door is perfect for paddle-boarding! The perfect sit in every way!

Denise

Mogli! What a sweet boy. Gentle and playful and gorgeous. Tap a bowl with a spoon to get him back in the house, unless he has prey, then all bets are off. The house is well set up and on a quiet dead end lane. Snoqualmie ice cream just 2 minutes away! Thanks Denise.
