Pet Sitters in West Islip, NY

Sarah

Sarah was AMAZING! I was so happy to find such a warm, caring and reliable person to stay with my fur babies. Boxer's can be a challenge, but she was up to the task! She kept me updated with notes and photos which showed they were being loved and well taken care of. I felt totally at ease knowing she was caring for my pets and my home! This was my first time using both zeewoi and Sarah. I will definitely use this again and hope that Sarah will have time in her schedule when I need her! Upon arriving home, the house was neat and tidy and my pups were happy! Thank you for such great service!!!!

Lori

My only hesitation in giving Lori a perfect review is that others will take her! She's the best.

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!

Lisa & Jim

This is the second sit that Lisa and Jim did for us, so that tells you right away that we liked them enough to ask them back! They are a fun and personable couple whose company we have enjoyed. They stay in regular contact with pictures, and upon our return home the cat is healthy and happy, the house is clean, and they even left a lovely meal for us, truly over and above. We highly recommend Lisa and Jim as pet sitters.

Barbara

Barbara was an excellent pet and house sitter. She was reliable and pleasant. She left my home in good condition.

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.

Sherry

Sherry was great! No issues at all during the sit, and our cat appeared comfortable and well cared for upon return. Would recommend!! 😊

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.

Julia

We had the pleasure of having Julia stay at our home for two weeks to watch our cats, Callie and Mason. From the moment we met her, she was friendly, reliable, and professional. She took excellent care of both our cats, even managing an unexpected issue with Mason with patience and care. When we returned, the house was spotless, clean, and tidy. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter, and we highly recommend Julia to anyone looking for a responsible and caring house and pet sitter!

Alexandra

I was thrilled Alex was available for another sit. My dog Zayde is healthy, tired, and calm on return from an 8 night trip, the apartment is extremely tidy, and the houseplants happy. Alex sends updates throughout the week and is quick to notice anything unusual in Zayde’s behavior or appearance. This time it was irritated skin, she went above and beyond to treat it throughout the week and he was back to normal when I got home. Thank you Alex! Aways a pleasure to have you :)

Hannah

Hannah was very communicative, helpful, and had a great vibe. Highly recommend to anyone!

Jillyn

If I could give 10 stars, I would! Jillyn exceeded our expectations! She was so loving and caring with our 2 dogs. She sent pictures and videos almost daily reassuring us they are being well cared for. When ever she had a concern, she would immediately reach out asking for advice. I wasn't always able to respond right away due to WiFi issues, but she handled each situation very well. I am so impressed. We were able to relax and enjoy our vacation thanks to Jillyn's wonderful caring nature. Don't hesitate... Jillyn's the best!

Nancy

The cats have no complaints. They loved Juliet and Laurent!

Erin

Erin is very easy to communicate with and also left excellent instructions! She has a lovely and roomy home in a really nice neighborhood and I enjoyed walking around the area very much. I was extremely comfortable there and would be happy to visit again!

Paulo F.

I wasn’t planning to house sit in Berlin but the Destiny joined together me and Paulo when we both were in a bad situation. I was having problems with my accommodation, and Paulo’s house sit quit at the last moment. So, we could help each other to get out of those gray clouds. :)
Queno is a great dog. He is a very strong and energetic dog but not hyperactive. He loves to run at the park, but he can also stay by your side and relax. He is quite obedient, unless he sees another dog and start following him, trying to make new friends.
The apartment is very nice and the location can’t be more perfect. It is in Berlin center close to the main tourist attractions. 
Paulo and Kevin were very nice to me, inviting me to stay at their apartment even before their trip, because I had that big issue with my accommodation. I was very lucky to find these guys!

Nicole

This is such a sweet setup! Beautiful, comfortable home and chickens in the backyard that will give you the best eggs you've ever had every morning. Nicole and Eric were super cool to work with. Highly recommend this sit!

Carol

Carol and Lex have a beautiful home in a quiet neighborhood.  Marley and sweet Olivia are the light of their lives!  Marley was curious and full of mischief.  Olivia loves to be brushed.  Fun sit!

Ursula

We had such a nice time at Ursula’s house! Karli and Fritzi were charming and the house had a lovely chilled vibe :) Ursula was welcoming, easily contactable and had made a very clear guest guide so everything made sense! Thank you for having us!

Gillian

Housesitting for Gillian was a delightful experience. She generously provided transportation to and from the station, offering valuable insights into local sights and activities. Exeter's beauty truly shone in the surroundings of her beautiful home. 

Poppy and Daisy, the charming companions, made each day memorable. Daisy's love for walks and evening cuddles and Poppy's gradual warmth added a special touch. Looking forward to reuniting with them in the future.
