Cat Sitters in South Valley Stream, NY

Sarah

Sarah was great - we had a water leak shortly after we left and she handled it all with grace. Our 2 dogs loved her! house in great shape when we returned and great care for all our plants too!

Aurelie

Aurelie was a great sitter for Indy and my house! She arrived the night before I left early in the morning and sent me updates during the week. When Indy started limping, she was caring, washed his paws, and took him to the vet for checkup. In the end, Indy was fine and the house was left in clean conditions. She even wrote up a schedule for Indy and left it on the refrigerator which the next sitters benefitted from. Highly recommend Aurelie to sit for your pups!

Carla

We are so lucky we found Carla. Rather she found us :) Carla is intelligent, trustworthy, and attentive. The house was clean upon our return. It is always a good indicator when the sitter takes the time to read through and understand the list of tasks we need from them. After our FaceTime call we were confident she was the perfect fit. Carla arrived ready to get down to business, as we introduced her to our sweet (but occasionally stubborn) English Cream Golden Retriever. We took a walk with Summer together so she could observe her mannerisms, and indicated how she would tailor her guidance. Carla is also a great communicator delivering a nightly text, photos, and report on the frequent hikes as well as romps in the park. Our dog Summer got very attached to her. She was so sad to see Carla leave. Summer stayed on the porch not wanting to come into the house waiting for her to return. We would jump at the chance to have Carla hang out with our sweet dog Summer again.

Christin

Christin looked after our cat and our house for 2 weeks. She was reliable and friendly and she even made the time to come out and meet us shortly before we left so that we had a moment to show her our house and village. She was delightful to spend time with and also easy to communicate with and prompt to reply to messages. We found a very neat and tidy house and a happy cat when we returned and we'd love to have her come sit for us again.

Stephanie

We can’t say enough great things about Stephanie and Chris! They treated our house like it was their own and understood our pets needs. They spoiled our babies just like we do, and even took Gemma out for an evening to play with some doggie friends. Our house was maintained and kept in perfect order. We had the great fortune of spending an evening with them before they left, and we have no doubt that we have made life-long friends, and would definitely welcome them back for a visit or a house sit anytime! Thank y’all for being so awesome!

Shirley

Took good care of Shackleton and the house! Thank you!

Kell & Ashley

Kell & Ashley took great care of Wilson, we would invite them back anytime and recommend to any other hosts. They were were very organized, thoughtful, and kind in all our interactions and their care for Wilson. We felt very confident and comfortable on our travels with Wilson in their good hands

Yonah

Yonah was a reliable, laid back, wonderful house/pet sitter. He was great with our cats and seemed to give them a lot of love. He left our apartment clean and tidy and we’d love to have him back.

Isabel

Isabel was super in every way! Our elder cat clearly loved her by the pictures she sent of him snuggling with her, and he was totally relaxed upon our return. Isabel communicated clearly and was proactive about a couple small things in the house that needed attention while we were away. I would recommend her absolutely 100%.

Sophia

Sophia took excellent care of Pepper and my apt! Sophia took notes about Pepper’s care on top of the instructions I sent. I received daily pics of Pepper and also received questions if she was unsure about Pepper’s behavior. Pepper loves to be taken outside in her bag and Sophia sent several pics of their excursions. Sophia even stayed late to give Pepper her evening meds on the night we were returning just in case our flight got delayed or rerouted…which I greatly appreciated! We returned to a well cleaned apartment…she definitely cleaned, not just tidied up and left. Sophia also offered to change our sheets/bedding before she left but I know changing the Duvet is a pain, so I said I would do it… Pepper seems happy and well cared for… you shouldn’t hesitate

Hannah

Hannah was wonderful. She took great care of my pets and my home. I would love to have her stay again.

Jocelyn

Jocelyn was incredible! Very communicative and insanely clean. I could tell Namu was very well cared after and honestly she left my apartment cleaner than before. Would recommend to anyone in a heartbeat

Lauren

I had the great pleasure of having Robert take care of my girls and my home, and I couldn't be more thankful for the experience. Robert showed an extraordinary level of care and connection with my dogs. 

Every day Robert tailored his care to my dogs with different needs. He took my baby for extra long walks and my sweet old lady with arthritis for short sniff walks. It was evident that he genuinely bonded with them, providing them with the love and attention they needed in my absence.

Robert maintained cleanliness throughout, leaving my home in perfect condition. He kept me informed with timely updates, and every interaction was characterized by his pleasant and friendly demeanour.

An unexpected delight was the delicious cheesecake Robert left for me – a testament to his thoughtfulness and outstanding culinary skills :) Additionally, his willingness to share insightful business advice was not only helpful but also greatly appreciated.

Robert is not just a Zeewoi; he's a caring individual who puts his heart into this. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and exceptional sitter. I would not hesitate to have him back anytime. Thank you, Robert, from Molly and Ruby who miss you dearly.

Roisin

Monica and Greg were great house sitters. They loved our dogs Bugsy and Josie and looked after them well. They were in contact most days with a photo of the dogs and kept the villa lovely and clean. It was a great first time experience for us. Thank you Monica and Greg
