Cat Sitters in Shokan, NY

Duygu, Was one of the best pet sitters I've ever had. She took amazing care of Sedona and even brought her to the beach. She sent me photos of Sedona daily which was super thoughtful. She also took amazing care of my home. She is welcome to sit for Sedona anytime!

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.

Frankie is a wonderful pet sitter. It was great knowing all our pets were cared for while we were away. My dog liked her immediately and vice versa. She gave us daily updates and left us a lovely funny note at the end. We came home to a tidy house, clean sheets and watered plants. I would highly recommend Frankie for your next get away!

Mili and Andrea returned for another sit and we were so pleased to have these lovely young ladies back. Everything was smooth from their arrival to departure and all was in order when we returned. We will definitely invite them to sit again!

Lindsey and Aliza were very responsible housesitters. Our two cats were well groomed and very happy when we arrived home. They shared photo updates frequently and kept us apprised of their health and activities. In addition our house plants were well tended and we found the house tidy and clean upon our arrival home. We highly recommend them!

Loreen and Rich are a warm hearted couple and very pleasant company. I was reassured of the safety and care of my pets and had no worries about them while I was away. They looked after my 2 old cats and my home for 6 days giving affection and consideration. They adjusted their stay very graciously when I found that I had given them the wrong date for my return, which was very good of them as it must have been inconvenient. Everything was fine for me, clean and tidy, when I returned. I definitely recommend Loreen and Rich to anyone needing a home sitter.

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.

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 👍

Shelley is a dangerous and incompetent housesitter. She should never be entrusted with anything more valuable than a houseplant. Her pet care was terrible. On the 2nd day she left our 2 dogs outside in the backyard, unattended on a 83-degree hot, humid summer day with no water for 90 minutes while she left our home to go out for a walk. We saw this on our Ring camera and immediately reported this to zeewoi (full complaint currently under investigation) and let her know directly how concerning this was for us. Not only was it unsafe to leave the dogs outside while she left the home, but it also went against clear instructions that were communicated to her in person during the handover and in writing about what to do with the dogs anytime she left our home. She repeatedly had trouble following basic instructions that were communicated verbally, in writing and in text reminders. She was incapable of following basic pet care requirements. We asked that only one of our 2 dogs be walked once a day (I did not want her walking the other stronger dog, because during the handover we went on a walk together and Shelley DROPPED our dog's leash). We use Fi collars, so we know that over the course of 11 days, Shelley brought our dog for only 4 walks. We did a phone interview with Shelley and never did she inform us that our medium sized, 40 pound dogs would be too much for her to walk. Additionally, Shelley traveled with her sister who clearly is unwell (likely dementia or some sort of developmental disability) and also was afraid and nervous around dogs. She never informed us of this, and it was clearly a huge safety issue. Shelley's sister let our INDOOR cat out multiple times (at least 4 times are seen on outside cameras). Sometimes our cat was left outside for 20+ minutes without Shelley or her sister realizing. This is so, so dangerous- we are on a main street with a lot of traffic. We are lucky our cat didn't get lost or killed under her "care." Shelley and her sister left our home in a terrible, and honestly gross and unsanitary, condition. A paper bag with human feces was found in our bathroom and made the entire 2nd floor of the house stink for days. The rug in my office was covered with urine- which makes me wonder if she locked my dogs in this room for extended periods of time. Our dogs are fully house trained and have never had any potty accidents. The kitchen was filled with flies, milk had been spilled in the refrigerator and never cleaned up (a gross film had formed by the time we got home). The blender was put away in the cabinet unclean. The recycle bin was filled with dirty trash- so much so that we got a notice from the city. She carelessly used metal utensils and scratched our Le Creuset dutch oven (which will now void its lifetime guarantee). Three brand new bars of soap were taken from our home, like they were some sort of hotel amenity. Shelley went into our basement storage freezer (which she had NO need to access) and took home 3 gallon bags (about 20lbs) of frozen tomatoes I had harvested before our trip from our garden. When I addressed this with her, she claimed her sister packed them by accident (which, if true, & your sister is so unwell that she's packing things from someone's home that are NOT HERS, she should not be allowed to travel with you). However, I don't believe that's the case- 20 pounds of tomatoes aren't really something that just sneaks by your consciousness- it's A LOT of tomatoes. Shelley was offended I accused her of stealing, but that's what she did. She ultimately returned them, knowing full well she was in the wrong. I'm not sure what else she might have taken from our home, as I didn't think I needed to take an inventory of our belongings and supplies before we left. Ultimately the sit ended when our one of our dogs ate some of a marijuana plant in the backyard (she had never shown interest before and we did not know the plant- with no flowers on it- was dangerous). We do not blame Shelley for that (even though it was probably from a time the dogs were not adequately supervised in the backyard); having the plant where dogs could access was our mistake, and one that will never be made again. The part that is extremely concerning is that it took Shelley nearly 2 hours to get our dog to the emergency vet from discovering the first symptoms (she first texted me at 6:26pm that our dog was unwell and "having seizures" and did not leave for the hospital until 8:12pm). And I am certain she never called the zeewoi vet emergency line. She eventually reached out to my mother (our emergency contact while we were in Europe) and my mom told her to go to the vet ER immediately. Afterwards Shelley stated via message, "I cried, prayed & hugged her throughout the incident." So, instead of getting prompt medical care for our dog (emergency vet was clearly listed in our printed out home instructions), she prayed for her. Unhelpful, incompetent and incredibly dangerous. I'm not sure how she has previous good reviews. We were shocked by the incompetency and complete inability to understand and follow simple, clear directions- there are, sadly, many more examples I could include here. We are grateful our girls survived having her stay in our home. I would hope no one else ever has to deal with such a horror. To finish things off, disapproving of the legal marijuana plant in the backyard and probably of our rainbow flag displayed on the front of the house, Shelley texted "You need prayers. Find a Bible based church to go to and get healed. I pray for your soul."

Tim was very communicative throughout his stay, sending daily updates. He also took good care of my cat and left my place in spotless condition.

Sebastian was excellent. Very accommodating and kept us informed.

This was the second time Chelsey and Lloyd sat for Cookie. They were reliable and kind, and we love developing a relationship with them. We highly recommend them and would love to have them back anytime.
