Cat Sitters in West Islip, NY

Denise

Denise was well-organized from the moment we met her, so we felt confident to leave our animals in her care for three weeks while we were out of the country. She kept us up to date by sending photos and videos of our three cats and our dog, which she bonded with easily.

Nadia

Nadia was wonderful! She helped out with a last minute sit and was so lovely. Would definitely have her come sit again!

renee

I booked Renee for the second time and she is the best, she took great care of my kitties. They were so sad when she left!

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.

Albina

If you are fortunate enough to have Albina apply to stay in your home, don’t hesitate to hire her! Essentially, she checks every box… responsible, communicative, intelligent, respectful, attentive and terrific with our pet. Wish I could give her 100 stars rather than just 5.

Kelly

Kelly, Greyson and their son were all excellent! guests in our home, provided great care and love to our dog and cat, and had wonderful communication throughout the process. Highly recommend them!

Megan

Megan looked after our cat and our flat while we went on a cruise for a week. Before the sit, she was well organized and easy to communicate with. She sent us reassuring photos of our cat while we were away and when we got back the flat was absolutely spotless. I’d recommend Megan as a sitter for anyone.

Virginia

Virginia was an absolute dream, she's the first petsitter I found through this website and was really friendly, took the time to understand my dog's habits and personality, they had a great time. I can only recommend her!

Yirssi

Yirssi took great care of my cats and home while I was away. She was very communicative, providing regular updates throughout her stay. I’d be happy to have her for another sit in the future!

Alize

Moon always updated us during taking care of Barney, even walked with him with so much bad weather. It as just 2 nights but I felt comfortable leaving Barney with her.

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

Simone

Simone was a fantastic pet sitter! She took great care of our dog and two cats. She sent regular photos and updates, and left the house even cleaner than she found it. Hopefully Simone can look after our animals again.

Samantha

Emma was such an awesome sitter! Regular updates and photos made us feel secure and happy that our pup was getting all the care and cuddles she needed while we were gone. House was left clean and today as well! Highly recommend!

Claudia

This was the first time we ever used zeewoi and we were lucky enough to have Sally and her husband Paul stay at our place. They looked after our dog beautifully, took him to places, and gave him his medication as requested. They were a joy to communicate with, and were very considerate and thoughtful. Coming back home late in the evening to a house that had been cleaned to hotel standard with new sheets on the bed, all towels washed, and even a thank you card was certainly something we didn't expect and can't thank Sally enough for. I would recommend her to anyone.
