We were very happy with Jacqui and the pets were very well taken care of. House was spotless upon our return, thank you so much!
AnneMarie and Roland came to house and pet sit for us for just over 2 weeks at the end of September. I was very particular for this house sit as one of our elderly cats now needs a daily tablet, and I wanted to be absolutely certain that the successful applicants could deal with this. Annemarie sent me a long and detailed response to my query and I realised from that that she was a experienced cat owner herself and used to giving cats pills. We also had a face to face video call before making the final decision and we felt happy that Annemarie and Roland could cope with our set up. We exchanged various emails and texts before they arrived so our communication was easy. They arrived exactly when they said they would and Annemarie started bonding with the cats straight away. I can honestly say I think she's a cat whisperer as seems to have a special way with them, which certainly gives you peace of mind. I've got quite a lot of plants in pots scattered around the house exterior that I wanted watering and they did a fantastic job with them including picking up pots blown over in strong winds. We got texts periodically whilst we were away reassuring us that all was well, so that was nice too. When we got home, Annemarie and Roland had made us dinner which was much appreciated. In summary, they are a very nice couple who you can trust implicitly. They take their duties seriously and are both self reliant and reliable.

If you want PEACE of mind this is who you call. If you want your pets to be treated like FAMILY. This is who you call. I had to leave short notice and have 4 pets (yes , I know full house) 2 cats and 2 dogs . I can’t tell you what a happy feeling it was to see the dumb pictures of my guys just being happy . They love their aunt “Vee” . It made going away so less stressful . The most important little beings in my hands were being cared for by someone who CARED. I would recommend Vee wholeheartedly to anyone I know . All pictures from different days she was in my house . lol
Venus came in clutch for me when I had to go out of state for a few days and needed someone trustworthy to look after my boy Milo. She took great care of him, providing photo and video updates throughout the day, ensuring my fur baby was well looked after. Venus also offers drop in visits for those who have multiple pets! I'm so glad my boy and I have someone local to turn to when I need an extra caring hand!
Vee is hands down the best pet sitter I've ever used. At the last minute, my cat needed eye drops twice a day and I was going out of town. Vee came over twice day for a long weekend and took such amazing care of him. She let me know her ETA every day and sent photos and really thoughtful updates. I've used a few different cat sitters/cat sitting businesses in Brooklyn and Vee surpassed all of them. Her background as a vet tech is also really comforting. Will definitely work with Vee again!!
We’ve used Venus to take care of our fur babies a few times and loved her service! She is sweet and caring and will send picture updates daily which helps to put anxieties at ease. We will definitely be using her again for our pet sitting needs!
Vee's been my cat Geneva's sitter for a little over two years and I couldn't be happier with her. She's easy to communicate with, always responds to texts, and is happy to give updates and share photos of her visits. Plus, Geneva is very shy and skittish and Vee is one of the only people ever to win her over. I've had Geneva for almost 11 years so that's saying a lot. Highly recommended if you're looking for a reliable pet sitter.
Venus has watched our pets for over ten years. She knows their names and personalities, keeps us updated on their shenanigans, and will send the occasional photos when we’re out of town. We couldn’t recommend her more highly.
What a gem. My pets are typically shy around new people, but they warm up to her right away. Finally, a person my pets enjoy whenever ever I'm away.
I cannot say enough good things about Diana (the owner at Forest Hills in Home Pet Services) and our walker/pet sitter Diana. Both Diana’s are amazing. We are so incredibly grateful for all that Diana (our walker) has done for our family. It is so hard to find someone who cares as much about your fur babies as you do, and Diana truly does. She loves our two dogs and two cats as if they were her own and keeps our apartment spotless when she comes. She walks our dogs 2-3 x daily, is always on time and cleans up after the pups. She even makes the dogs beds, something I do not even do every day. We are grateful beyond words that we found her. Thank you for all you do Diana!!
Great service. This is a comprehensive and caring service. I have two Cats and live in Forest Hills, NY. I recently moved and needed a new Cat Sitter. I am so glad I found InHome Pet Services. They came to do a meet and greet and were super thorough asking questions and building the profile of my Cats. During my time away they were caring, updating me, and answering patiently all my questions and asks (I get anxious when I am away from my Cats). Big thank you! I will be using this service regularly now when I travel and need a Cat sitter!
Diana and her team are 100% reliable, progressional and they really care about my Miniature Schnauzer Roxie. It’s a very big thing trusting someone to care four you furry family member and we are totally confident that Roxie is in very good hands! I am continually amazed how flexible, reliable and professional Diana and her walkers are. The best service provider I’ve ever experienced
I used this service for weekly dog walks. Service was always fantastic, prompt and professional. I moved from the area and haven't found anything nearly as good.
I highly recommend In Home Pet Services! It was the first time since we adopted cats that we went away for a longer amount of time. Diana was very quick at getting back to us to set up a time to meet, and schedule the visits. My cats were taken care of extremely well and our apartment was left spotless. The communication was seamless and we will definitely be using their services again.
I recently left my old dog walking company that have been with for 3 years due to certain circumstances.I was in search of a new dog walking service until one day my neighbor recommended Inhomepetservice because her friend use them. When I first met Diana and she introduced me to Shaily I immediately felt so comfortable I immediately knew that they were the people to take care of my dog. I truly 100% recommend this service and what a big difference from my previous Dog walking company. Thank you Diana and Shaily.
I've only been using IHPS since January but am so happy I chose them. They are all fantastic and my dog clearly loves them. I feel extremely comfortable with the walkers and know they are truly looking out for my dog. For example, after my bulldog's eye surgery they were providing feedback on whether or not she looked well that day- what more could you ask for! Not to mention they offerred to give her medication at no extra charge. They're always available, even last minute, so I can say they are really reliable. I would highly recommend them if you're in the area and looking for a dog walking service!!
After moving to Queens last year, we tried a couple of different dog walking services but found In Hope Pet Services to be the best. They have been reliable, conscientious and professional. My dog enjoys his walks with them and they are very good with giving feedback on his behavior. I recommend them highly and my dog gives them five 'woofs' and two paws up.
What a great find! With a schedule taking me out of my house on an inconsistent schedule 7 days a week and both daytime and night, In Home Pet Services has been there to be a loving, caring presence to my dog. My dog has some medical issues requiring some special love and care for walks, food, and giving of medicine. But they have embraced every situation and my dog adores them. It is such a relief to know my dog is well cared for as I need to be out of the house for work or pleasure during the day or evening. They are stupendous.
I have nothing, but good things to say about In Home Pet Services. They are kind, professional, trustworthy and I could tell my cats were receiving the proper attention when I would come home from vacation. They took great care of my 2 cats Alexander and Puma. Even when I emailed last minute to extend my trip back home in Texas they responded right away and they also let me know the cat food and litter was running low and they could pick it up for me.
