Pet Sitters in Windsor, CT

Owen

Owen and Helen are a very lovely and friendly couple. Communication was always very good and easy. Helen came to look after Mishka. Both Mishka and I felt very happy and comfortable in her presence, she was so warm and friendly and easy going. Mishka felt very at ease so much so that she went and sat with Helen on the couch (which she never does) I had good communication with Helen whilst we were away and everything was clean and tidy on our return. I would highly recommend them and would happily have them to come and look after Mishka again.

Patricia

All expectations exceeded!!! Outstanding, Amazing.....I would give a ten star review if possible. Patricia was my first sitter off zeewoi and she was a dream come true. Patricia is an excellent communicator, is responsive, flexible, kind, thoughtful....you get the idea that I can't say enough!! Then there was the cat care. My cat Minnie has never before been so normal upon my return from travel. Typically Minnie would be a nervous wreck after my travel, have lost a ton of hair, be meowing constantly, etc. Not this time, it was as if I never went away, amazing!! Minnie was so well cared for! Patricia is a cat whisperer I am certain because my cat can be a paranoid freakazoid but she was normal with Patricia! Patricia also sent videos and pictures which was both very sweet and made me realize I needed to up my own game playing with my cat.... I'm sure she misses play time with Patricia. And like many other reviewers mentioned, Patricia even left gifts...wow, what!.... .I was the one who should be gifting Patricia!! Thank you Patricia, you are an amazing pet sitter!!

Emily

Emily was a fabulous sitter. On her first night, she sent us a photo with one of our senior dogs and said her goal was to become Nellie's best friend by the end of the sit. At that moment we knew we had left the gals (as Emily called them) in the best possible hands. Her communications were excellent before, during, and even after the sit. She left the house spotless, refilling the wood bins for the wood-burning stove even more than we do. It is important to us to know we're leaving our home and our dogs in responsible hands, and we couldn't have made a better choice in that regard. We would eagerly invite her back. We highly recommend Emily.

Donna & Eric

Donna and Eric were perfect petsitters in every way: We came home to a happy cat and a cleaner house than we left it. They sent wonderful photos daily of our cat who was clearly enjoying himself! They also left us a delicious coffee cake from their local bakery which was an added bonus. Highly recommend!

Steven

We were very pleased with Steven’s care for our much loved Corgi, Griffin, and our home in The Villages, FL. Steven is a Corgi lover since he had his own, Gingersnap, who unfortunately passed last year. He left our home cleaner than we had left for him and he welcomed us back with a “You are Special” balloon, an orchid and a gift card for grooming Griffin. We highly recommend Steven to anyone who may need his care.

Alexandria & Wendy

We were so fortunate to have Ria and Wendy house sit for us and our two senior pets. They genuinely enjoyed caring for our pets, our home and exploring the beaches of Rhode Island. We appreciated the frequent updates and the hand off to and from was seamless. I recommend them highly and would love to have them stay again in the future.

Christine & Mark

Christine and Mark were the perfect pet and house sitters! We went away for 6 days and left our 4 animals (!!) in their care, 2 senior dogs and 2 cats. By night 1 our skittish cat was already comfortable with them (which is rare!) and hanging by their sides. Christine and Mark are both animal people and it shows. They even brought along their own pet first aid kit in case of emergencies! We returned to a sparkling clean home and happy, healthy animals. What more could you ask for? Thanks Christine and Mark!

Amanda

Amanda and her husband stayed at my place for a long weekend. They took wonderful care of my cat! I knew as soon as I met them that my cat and apartment were in great hands. They had carefully reviewed the welcome guide before coming and took excellent care of my kitty while I was gone. I came home to a happy cat and very clean apartment. I highly recommend Amanda!

Eleonore

Reliable, organized, always available with plenty of updating about our dogs… once my daughter missed her toys at home and Eleonore placed them all on the floor in order to take the best picture and send it to me… Eleonore and Guillermo were the most perfect and sweet sitters for our animals and house! I strongly recommend them! You will not be disappointed!

Marina

Marina was so sweet and communicative and gave Moo and Bean the best attention! 100% recommend.

Frank & Amber

Frank and Amber had great communication. Left the house clean and tidy. Had the dogs out on nice long walks and seemed to truly enjoy sitting our eccentric puppers! Lovely folks, we recommend them for anyone looking for great caretakers.

Claire

We enjoyed having Claire as our petsitter! Our senior dog really took to her as well as our more-friendly cat. She did great when our senior dog had diarrhea, and I appreciated her communications throughout our trip. I would definitely recommend Claire.

Robin

I couldn't have been happier with a sitter than I was with Sarah. From the questions she asked when we first met over Zoom I could tell she really wanted to understand how to best care for Reggie and Frida. She communicated with me every day about their well being and was diligent about giving Reggie his medication twice a day.When I came home it was if I never left. The house was spic and span and the animals were peaceful and obviously well taken care of.  What a gem!!

Mary

I had a brilliant time at Mary's home with her lovely Beagle Lily. Lily was an absolute dream to look after, she was loving, communicative and super friendly (and a great guard dog barking when the post man came). We went on some great walks together. It's a great area for walks with a beautiful park close by.
The home is cosy and the back garden is a great gem for a hot city. The area is great with many amenities nearby and the metro that takes you into the centre of Madrid quickly. 
Mary was super welcoming and easy going, really generous and kind. I felt comfortable at the home immediately. I would love to go back and look after Lily.

samantha

Despite being a very short sit, we enjoyed staying at Samantha´s modern townhouse and taking care of Cleo. The house is conveniently located close to shops, restaurants and train station. Although Cleo is an old cat, she is very affectionate, a good eater and very easy to care for. Sam and her partner were very welcoming and we would be happy to sit for them again.

Kathryn

Dog-sitting for Mochi was a wonderful and heart-warming experience; her sweet, gentle nature won me over right away. Even with a left (front) leg, that is shorter than the rest, and a still-recovering hind leg, she was a trooper; walking up to 30 minutes – except when the heat threatened to overtake us both. When she wasn’t in the backyard watching the garbage truck and birds passing by, she was curled up on the sunroom sofa. A couple of times, Mochi was picked up and driven to a nearby doggie day care... which seemed to give her much joy, and tire her out. 

Kathryn and Kristi were consummate hosts; leaving detailed house notes – which were super useful, food in the fridge and even keys to their car – much appreciated! The communication was very clear, and all my questions were answered promptly. It was comforting to see how much they care for their beloved Mochi.

Their bungalow was cozy and cool (I stayed during a heatwave), with a well-equipped kitchen, and the most exquisitely designed, night light in the bathroom I’ve ever seen. 

Since the guest room doubles as Mochi’s sanctuary, she was happy to share the bed with me... as long as I rubbed her tummy (lol). (I permitted her to sleep on the bed with me; Mochi will also sleep on the floor or downstairs) 

I hope to give Mochi more TLC another time!

Raphael

Had a wonderful 2 weeks with Orca and Froda in the south of France. Orca is super lovable and friendly, and we went on lots of great hikes together. Frodo is also sweet, and very independent. Village is pretty, and in a nice location, would recommend having a car to explore the surrounding area.

Rachel

Rachel said we could meet the day before the sit and say hello to Pickle and Olive which we did. Rachel was very accommodating and the dogs were a dream to look after.
Would not hesitate to sit for them again if the opportunity arose.

Pamela

Pam and Dave are wonderful hosts! They have a beautiful home and are very generous with their accommodations. We fell in LOVE with Cinnamon and Weston! Weston’s silly personality is such a charmer and Cinnamon is such a sweet good girl. They are both amazing pups and you will have a lot of fun playing with them and enjoying Pam and Dave’s comfortable home!
