Cat Sitters in Windsor Locks, CT

Lauren

Lauren was wonderful in watching our home and pup, Chuck, for a week! She read our at home guide and asked questions during our interview and during the home visit. During the stay, she had some questions that she texted the first few days when she first got started about determining Chuck’s behavior (what whine/cry that meant he had to go to the restroom). She was really thorough in trying to ensure Chuck was less anxious while we were gone. She had tried a few dog tricks that didn’t work super great for chuck (rolled towel with treats), but appreciate her efforts! She also provided a photo and update for chuck each day, too. She went above and beyond in my opinion for 4 things: 1. She kindly put our bedding in the wash and dryer before she left, which allowed me to get home post flight around 10pm and not have to do it!, and 2. I unfortunately had Chuck’s food shipment arrive while we were out so Lauren very kindly brought up the box of food and placed/organized into the freezer. 3. She was able to make time to visit and meet Chuck for a 30 minute visit before her stay began which eased any concerns and the transition to watching Chuck! 4. She thoughtfully included a thank you note and treat that was ready for me upon arrival. Thank you, Lauren!

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!!

Elizabeth

Elizabeth was an excellent sitter. She is clearly an animal lover and was in tune with our cats, especially bonding with Daisy who loves company and cuddles and attention, but also winning over slightly more picky Saffy. Liz kept us informed throughout the sit with photos and news and we came home to two contented and calm cats. The house was neat and tidy, the sheets and towels in the wash, and everything clean. We are glad she liked our area and Bushy Park and made use of our bicycle to explore. We have no hesitation in recommenting Liz and hope to see her again in the future.

Joanne

Joanne is pretty much the best of the best. We came home to a very happy kitty and clean and tidy house. She was communicative and easy to coordinate with. Please come back anytime!

Blair & Chase

Chase and Blair really are fantastic sitters. This was the 2nd time they sat for us. Everything went perfectly, we came home to a clean flat and a happy cat. We’d love to have them back again!

Taryn

Taryn is such a sweet soul with a genuine, compassionate demeanor. I could tell that Gracie received tons of love and attention while I was gone from Taryn cuddles and musical serenades. Highly recommend !!

Cynthia

Cynthia was a great sitter! Sammy had a good time with her and our house was spotless when we returned. We’d have her back to sit anytime.

Carolyn

We highly recommend Carolyn to watch over your home and pets.Carolyn stayed at our home for a month to watch over our cat, small garden and houseplants. She was mature, respectable and communicative. We were amazed at how clean our house was when we returned, which made coming home after such a long trip so helpful and pleasant. Please do consider Carolyn as a sitter for long or short stays, she certainly proved to be a trusted, kind and reputable caretaker! We would 100% have her stay again 😃

John

John is an amazing dog sitter. Our old pooch took to him immediately as if they were old friends. The night we got back our dog went searching for John at bedtime, missing him already. During his first night at our house a tree fell on our porch and garage. John sent us photos and assured us that no damaged happened to any windows or roofs. Communication was clear and easy and John was quite flexible about timing. Our house was immaculate upon our return and John even managed to get the bed linens washed and dried before we got back. YOU can't go wrong with John.

Marquita

As before, Marquita was wonderful in every way. Took great care of my dog and cat and was flexible when air traffic took a U-turn! She's just the best!

Becky & Maxine

Becky and Macci were wonderful to jump in for a couple of days. They responded quickly and thoroughly to my inquiries along the way - before and during the sit. The house was in excellent condition when I returned and the cat was her normal happy self! I will certainly invite them again to stay here and can whole-heartedly recommend them to everyone.

Karolina & Ryan

Great sitters! I came home to a happy cat and a clean home.

Denise

Diana looked after my cat Mishka and house for a month and was an absolute godsend. As soon as I met her, a few hours before my departure, I felt reassured, not least because of the way she introduced herself to Mishka, (who's very particular and tends to be wary of new people) and how attentive she was to instructions and making sure everything was clear.  Throughout the stay, she was very communicative and sent me pics and videos of Mishka, who had bonded with her and become very friendly (which was amazing in itself!). 
Diana also fed the birds and squirrels and watered the plants, which were in great shape on my return. Everything in the house was in perfect order, and to top it off she had left a lovely bunch of roses to greet me. 
Her stay was at an especially difficult time for me, and I'm so grateful for the complete peace of mind and sense of security her stay gave me while I was away. I couldn't recommend anyone more highly.

Amy

Alizabeth and Josh were absolutely wonderful! We couldn’t have asked for more caring and communicative sitters with the dogs. They sent pictures while we were gone and left the house cleaner and more tidy than when they arrived. I would have them back in a heart beat.
