Dog Sitters in Stony Brook, NY

Dominik

Dominik was probably the best pet sitter I have had (out of 10+). He was very flexible and gracious (when I changed the sit), a great communicator and very responsive. He kept my house clean and followed directions to the tee. Dominik asked if it was OK to take my dogs for runs, which he then did every day of the sit. A+ sitter. I hope to have Dominik again soon.

Tracy

Tracy was an absolute pleasure! She took great care of our two cats and apartment. She really went above and beyond in tidying up the place when she left and sending lots of pictures. She was a laidback, communicative, and respectful guest and we’d welcome her back any time!

James

This was the third year in a row James watched our pets. For the third year in a row, we came home to happy and cared for pets and a house that was left in great shape. We trust James; and it is a wonderful feeling. We have old pets. Our little dog is over 15 years old and has some special needs. James handles her like a loving pro. James is a go to person.

Nancy

It was such a pleasure to have Nancy and Frank care for Darby and house sit . They have a genuine love for animals and provided excellent care for Darby. They were able to arrive a day prior to our departure so we had adequate time to get them acquainted with Darby and the residence. Our golden retriever is a large dog and full of energy. Nancy and Frank understand how to handle animals. They kept in touch during our absence sharing information about their time with Darby. They love outdoor adventures and enjoyed having Darby join them! They were very respectful of our property and we felt very comfortable having them stay in our home. It will be great to have them return another time!

Sara

Sara and her partner Michael were stellar in their communication as well as their care of our dogs and home! They took care of my 2 high energy and somewhat needy dogs for about 3 weeks and I had peace of mind knowing they were in really good hands the whole time.

Kerri

Kerri was super friendly and joyful in all the communication, she had the great courtesy to leave the bed with clean sheets, I also thank her for her flexibility for the arrival and departure times. I hope you enjoyed Merida, thanks for everything!

ryan

Ryan was great! He communicated well and sent lots of pictures of my happy cats. The place looked great when I returned. Would gladly have him sit again.

Sebastian

Sebastian was excellent. Very accommodating and kept us informed.

Maxwell

Maxwell was a really lovely guy. He left my house very clean and tidy and most importantly Milo seemed very happy and well looked after. Thank you Maxwell

Kayleigh & Stephen

Excellent sitters! Easy communication, very flexible and took great care of both the pets and our home.

Lauri

Lauri and her daughter were great! We kept in touch leading up to the sit so communication was clear. They arrived on time, immediately comfortable with my girls, and sent daily updates with photos. I arrived to a clean home! The girls clearly had fun and my house was vacuumed, towels washed, and clean sheets on my bed!

Laura

Our experience with Laura as a petsitter for our 6 cats, 2 dogs and turtle was 5 star! Laura committed to the sit for us a couple of months in advance and she was very responsive and communicative from beginning to end. We arranged to meet in person prior to the housesit and we were impressed instantly with her relaxed nature and comfort level with our menagerie of pets. It was very reassuring to travel after seeing how the pets took to her. A few of our pets have issues but Laura managed everything perfectly. She sent us updates daily and left the house in better shape than we left it. If you are reading this review to decide on a petsitter, I would look no further than Laura.

Jennifer

Karen and her daughter were delightful. Excellent communication throughout and a real pleasure to deal with. They left everything immaculately tidy too! We'd love them to sit for us again.

Christine

Carina was a super sitter! 

This is the first time we left Zoe and Ziggy alone since Zoe has been placed on medication and we were very nervous. But Carina took the time to build trust with Zoe and play with them both. She was able to have Zoe take her medicine every day (it is powder mixed with liquid treat) and so we were very happy to see this. She even sent us video showing Zoe happy, eating the "medicated treat" each day. 

She also spent time playing with the cats and giving daily updates and pictures/videos to put us at ease. 

When we returned home we found our place very clean and tidy, and her bedding washed and folded on the bed which was amazing. 

I'd recommend Carina to anyone and would welcome her back to care for our home and Zoe and Ziggy any time!

Wojciech

Hannah is a great sitter. Very respectful, easy to communicate and thoughtful. She took a great care of our cat and left the house cleaner than when she found it. Also, she could explore a career of a pet photographer - we loved her daily updates.
