Pet Sitters in West Bay Shore, NY

Patrice & Stephen

Patrice and Stephen were excellent house/pet sitters for us, going above and beyond expectations. At our request, they arrived the afternoon prior to our departure so that we could go over instructions and answer any questions. They were extremely conscientious and accommodating, asking important questions regarding our house and dog. While we were away, they took excellent care of our dog, walking him daily, and providing all of the care he needed. On the day before our return, they texted to let us know that dinner would be waiting for us in the refrigerator. After a long day of traveling to return home, that was definitely and added bonus to not have to stop and shop to prepare dinner on the way home. Upon our return home, the house was clean and organized, and our dog was happy. We were definitely in good hands with Patrice and Stephen, and would welcome them back any time, given the opportunity.

Bessie & Carolina

Bessie and her mother have taken very good care of marta and sofia, they have been sending pictures all the time and responding very quickly when we needed to know about our animals. The cleanliness has not been as expected compared to how we delivered the house.

Donna

Donna was terrific! We had a nice video chat at the start and a few messages before the sit. All went great. I was not there when she arrived but she arrived when expected and found Autumn sleeping. She sent some pics which I always appreciate and gave me updates. The house was left neat & tidy. I would definitely have her back. Totally recommend Donna. Thank you.

Natasha W

Natasha & Jim are fantastic & would highly recommend.

Kayla

Kayla was a great housesitter and a pleasure to deal with from beginning to end. She came over to meet us a few days before the sit, which was really helpful. I could immediately see that see has a great love of cats, and our 2 kitties warmed to her straight away. Her communication while we were away was great, regular updates and pictures and always wanting to be as helpful as possible. When we got home, our house was just as we left it, and the cats were both obviously relaxed and happy. Our older cat is a rescue, and can sometimes get very stressed while we are away, but that clearly hadn't been the case this time, has was very happy in Kayla's care, which was a big relief. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kayla or invite her back for future sits.

Ari

Ariella is a thoughtful and considerate person who took excellent care of everything in my absence. My cat was very happy when I returned from my trip, and the house was tidy and sparkling.

SuEllen

Suellen was an awesome house sitter and pet sitter who went above and beyond. We were overseas and had a water issue at our house. SuEllen contacted us immediately and handled the situation with the water company, including forwarding us a video showing the issue and the explanation from the water company of what was going on. SuEllen was reliable and easy to communicate with. She left the house clean and tidy, and we had a happy cat when we returned. I would recommend SuEllen to anyone who needs a sitter. Thanks SuEllen for doing such a great job taking care of everything while we were away!

Ryan

Ryan was an excellent fit for us. He was easy going, friendly, organised and we returned home to a clean house, chilled and happy pets. He communicated well, asked all the right questions and was very thorough. I would definitely recommend Ryan and would have him back any day!

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.

Masha

Masha is the best of the best. Super detailed, organized, fastidious, and caring. The place was left immaculate and Daisy was the happiest of dogs. My only reservations would be that I think my dog likes her more, and that she's so cool, that I wished we'd overlapped in the place so I could see how cool she was in person :)

Joanne

Joanne was so sweet, competent, and flexible. I had just moved when she arrived, and she completely went with the flow. She put me at ease during a busy time, and I have made a new friend in her. It was a joy to have her stay her with Lovey 🩶

Jennifer & Andrew

Pasha (🐱) and I absolutely adore Jennifer and Andrew!! This is their second sit with us and Pasha asked for belly rubs as soon as they got here. She knows good humans when she sees them. They go above and beyond in their care and kindness- it so easy for me to not worry about a thing while Im away.

Kay

Really great sit, Kay made us feel so welcome in her beautiful home. We had a wonderful 3 weeks looking after Iggie, Pablo and their 3 puppies. They are just the sweetest, it was definitely our hardest goodbye!! 😭 
Thank you so much for having us 😊

Barbara

Spiritually minimalist home with renovated upgrades in South Boulder neighborhood close to hiking. Extremely comfortable beds with quality sheets and mattresses. Barbara is very kind and gave us thorough information for a confident stay. Her two cats are very soft, cuddly, and affectionate.

Tim

Thank you so much to Elizabeth and Tim for this wonderful houseboat experience. 

This is a magnificent place with a very beautiful garden.  Elizabeth and Tim are really friendly and welcoming.

They gave us detailed instructions on how to care of the garden and Lionne. 

Lionne, she is a very social and communicative cat. She loves spending time close by you and it's really cool. We had a great time together! 

We had great pleasure caring for the wonderful garden - it’s such a zen experience!

Thank you ❤️🍀

genevieve

Wonderful greeting from Genevieve and Andrew. I was a little early however, and they continued gardening as I settled in. 
I played a little football with Ollie, he is very good, a great sport. 
Later Genevieve, Andrew and I  shared supper, and an exchange of stories, really nice. The house is a lovely home, and sits in a village of great historic interest. 
I would return in a heartbeat.

Marita

I had a lovely time looking after Bruno. He was super cute, very cuddly and playful. He has a lovely temperament. 

Marita made me feel so welcome straight away, especially through the welcome gift she'd left me. Her house is so lovely, and it was such a pleasure staying there. 

Thank you Marita.

Chrissy

Chrissy was the ultimate host, generously sharing her hearth(s) and home with us! Added to her warm welcome, Kali enthusiastically joined in by introducing us to all her treasured toys, tricks, and treats, captivating us completely!

Banjo and Cowboy took a little longer to share themselves with us; but when they did, what beguiling little gingers they were, with treats being a big motivator for them!

Our sit for Chrissy with Kali, Banjo, and Cowboy was absolutely wonderful. Chrissy is a comprehensive communicator and organizer, which helped make our stay even more delightful.
She thought of everything and even left us treats of our own!

We would jump at the chance to sit for Chrissy again and would highly recommend others to do so too!!
