Conscientious cat sitter eager to care for your home
Elizabeth is such an amenable and reliable housesotter - it’s a breeze to work with her. She is very organized, clear about arrivals and departures, attentive to our cats and very good about sending photos and updates every few days. She works from home so she spent more time with them than we sometimes do, and both parties seemed to relish each other’s company! Elizabeth is also smart, thoughtful and resourceful.

Homeowners and ex hands-on landlords with extensive animal care experience.
Dianne and Tim are exactly the kind of sitters who make TH a trusted and reliable community that we can turn to time and again. They were highly communicative, friendly, capable. They took care of our 7 month old Nora for a few days and were so flexible with the needs and quirks of a young dog in training. Our dog fell in love with them quickly and the daily photos proved it. They were conscientious from start to finish with Nora and left our home in immaculate condition. We came home after a long day of travel to a clean home and happy dog which is everything. We are so very grateful to Dianne and Tim!

Responsible and Compassionate Pet & House Care that Goes Above and Beyond
Such a wonderful experience having Michelle and Ryan take care of our babies. They were very communicative and clear starting from our first call - we got lots of photo updates and they let us know as soon as any issues cropped up (we had some minor ant invasions as the summer heat kicked in which they helped keep at bay). They were completely reliable and we came home to very chill cats so it was clear they got a lot of love. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for pet sitting!

Frequent Petsitter Who Loves Travel Seeking Accommodation and Pets to Watch
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.

Pet friendly people looking for adventure
Christy and Eric were absolutely amazing! They cared for our 2 dogs and cat exactly as we had hoped (and even did extra). They took them for walks and rides and administered oral medication to both dogs. Christy and Eric communicated throughout our 2 week vacation and gave us updates on the pets and the house. Christy and Eric were both very easy to talk to prior to the sit and they arrived on time as scheduled. They kept the house EXTREMELY clean and it seems as though we came home to a cleaner/tidier home than we left them. Christy and Eric were amazing pet sitters and we would definitely be more than happy to welcome them back into our home any time!

Kind, impeccable house/pet/property sitter for your home and pets.
Leslie did a great job taking care of our four cats, our house was neat and clean, and we received lots of pictures from her daily - we can't thank her enough! Aside from an alarm on an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) in my office (she has NO blame for this one - it failed while we were gone!), she was self-sufficient and took care of all out plants and paid great attention to the cats!

I was delighted when Naomi came back again for another sit with Mr B. So kind, so calm - such a wonderful sitter in every way and kept me up to date at all times. A lovely person, so glad we met and Naomi is always welcome.

Responsible, caring professional couple here to take care of your pets and home
Juliet and Laurent were great petsitters! My place was clean and the cats were happy, which is my biggest concern. Juliet was very communicative and sent pics daily along with little comments about Jack and Jamie and how they loved the area around here. I had zero worries about anything, which is always a great feeling while away. I would highly recommend them for any pet sits in the future! Thank you both!😻😻

Experienced, caring sitter and your pet's new best friend.
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!!
Kendra was a great cat sitter to Genepi and she truly is a cat whisperer. Genepi usually takes 4 days to make friends with a new person but she came out and made friends with Kendra Day 1! Kendra regularly sent wonderful videos and pics of Genepi purring happily. The apartment was neat when we returned and our garden was blossoming. Would absolutely ask Kendra to sit again and highly recommend her. Thanks Kendra!!
Anna was an excellent sitter - she took great care to understand all of the intricacies of taking care of the house and cats, asked lots of questions, and arrived on time and ready for the sit. During the trip, she checked in with updates, and upon returning home, left the space tidy and clean. The cats were happy and healthy, and seemed to have had a great time during the sit. Thanks Anna!
There are not enough words in the English language to express my deepest gratitude to Teresa and all the amazing love and care she showed my sweet cat Milo. From the moment she met Milo, I knew there was going to be a very special bond. He instantly relaxed when he first met and already looked so happy and at peace with her. The bond between the two of them only seemed to get stronger and stronger with every day that I was away. This two-week trip was so important for me as it was the first real "vacation" I had taken in a few years. I was in desperate need of a mental and physical break and knew that in order to have a true "time off', I needed to feel completely at peace with Milo being well-taken care of. Well my prayers were answered as Teresa was the "cat whisperer" I was hoping for. I could not have asked for a better, more compassionate, self-reliant, and intuitive sitter ! Teresa was also so diligent in sending me her daily picture and video updates of my cat. With every picture and video I saw, I knew that Milo was so happy being with her and I never worried for one minute while I was away. What a gift ! Teresa was also a serious life-saver for me as literally an hour before I was leaving for my trip, I found out my cat's tracker app was not working and after a few emails and phone calls, we found out the tracker's server was down. Teresa took the initiative to follow up with getting the tracker to work again which was a HUGE stress-relief for me . She is not only wonderfully savvy with animals but also with technology as well ! I feel so fortunate to have Teresa in my life now, not only as an amazing sitter for Milo but also as a wonderful friend for life! Thank you, Teresa for everything.... Milo and I so appreciate you .....
Nathalie and John were great! They were great house sitters to watch our two dogs, 2 geckos, our old cat and bull frog. Their two girls took good care of the animals as well. The house was exactly how we left it. We really appreciated their help!
Jenima is an excellent sitter! She is organized, communicative and flexible throughout the stay. We needed a sitter at the last minute because Jazz got sick, and Jenima saved us. We left a little worried about him, but Jenima took care of him really well and kept us informed. Cats love her! We definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!
Danny and Jo did a great job caring for our 3 cats and fish AND lots of plants (and home of course) while we were out of town for 3 weeks. We came back to a very clean house, sheets, and towels all clean and folded and fresh sheets on the bed they were using. The plants were all alive too, which is a first for us (again, we have a lot of plants!). The cats were happy to see us and they were all accounted for (a past sitter lost a cat for a week - they escaped outside as a non-outside cat). Everything was in its place and looked great. We received regular updates (via text) with photos of the cats lounging about which was important for us. Danny asked good questions when they visited us before the sit, and when reviewing our pet/house sitting instructions. The only thing we noticed that was different was that our 2 young cats were a little lighter (not necessarily a bad thing) but we understand that being gone for that length of time can be stressful on our furry family, which almost always affects their eating habits. All in all, we would definitely have them again!
Jinnie was an excellent house sitter for me and my cat Felix. Completely responsible and reliable and helpfully flexible. She was willing to work with me as I dithered on whether I was actually going to go on my trip (which was dependent on good weather), and when I finally decided on making my trip one day shorter. House was clean and organized on my return, and, more importantly, my cat was calm and relaxed on my return. I would happily have Jinnie come sit for me and Felix again.
Heidi was an outstanding cat sitter for my Luna! She was very communicable via calls or texts. She followed all my guidelines for feeding and care of Luna. Luna was very content when I arrived home thanks to Heidi! My home was immaculate when I arrived and she did some snow shoveling. She even pulled a large broken tree branch off my roof following a windstorm. I hope Heidi is available for my next trip because she is awesome. Jim
Greetings Pet People, I am a bit late leaving my review for Kristine who is local to us and has taken care of our kitties Max and Luis a few times this year. After COVID-19 was announced in March, our travel plans came to an abrupt halt. We had to cancel a lot of trips we had planned but decided that it was safe to go camping a couple of times this summer. We called on Kristine as one of our favorite sitters on this site. We discussed safety protocols and agreed to cleaning that we would do to leave the house safe for her to enter. She shared protocols that she had taken with other homeowners and had sound processes to make us feel safe leaving our cats and our home in her care. She even purchased batteries for our automatic cat feeder when it failed to let one of our confused kitties to eat. Kristine is a smart, humorous and a thoughtful person. I would not hesitate to recommend her for your sit. She truly loves animals and taking care of your home. Highly recommended! Thanks Kristine!
Steven was a great sitter for our black lab Souris and cat Pinot. They were well looked after and really liked Steven. Our house was in good order when we got back and Steven was kind enough to give us a lift to and from the airport. He was very flexible, arriving day early so we could show him around.

There are so many options to board a dog, but we are beyond thankful to have found Hammertown! Mary and her staff treat our big GSD like family and, judging by pictures regularly sent while we're away, he responds in kind. From the moment we walked into the comfortable living room-esque waiting area, we and our pup were at ease and every pick up reveals a well-loved dog. If you're looking for a serious kennel that will tailor their service to your dog's needs, Hammertown is the place to go!
Our pit/lab Louie had a wonderful time at his 2 night stay at Hammertown Kennels. He hadn't been in a boarding situation in a few years, so we were nervous about how he would do with the other dogs. Joanne and Mary are very knowledgeable about dog behavior and knew which dogs to introduce him to first, and in a careful and safe manner. Their love for dogs was evident and we so appreciated their care and concern. When we received a video of Louie joyfully playing off-leash with another dog, we were so happy and relieved. We have already booked another, longer stay.
I highly recommend Mary and her staff at Hammertown Kennels. This was only the second time we needed to board our Basset Hound, Lulu, and it was a wonderful experience for us as well as Lulu. Our anxiety was eased as we received pictures of Lulu with other dogs, interacting with staff, and even a video of Lulu in the play yard. We even got some helpful training tips that are working for us. Mary and staff show such obvious affection and provide a vacation like setting for all their guests. We will definitely be back!!
Highlights: they provide great care for your pet, great communication (they send updates with photos & videos throughout), pets are happy and free (my dog loves going), friendly and caring staff and an incredibly organized operation. The location is perfect and beautiful. Each pet has its own kennel with indoor and outdoor space which is great. Would recommend to a friend? : absolutely.
Our experience was amazing! Everyone at Hammertown Kennels clearly loves dogs and treats them as if they are their own. Communication was amazing and the service was easy and efficient. My dog was happy and I could relax knowing he was in a caring environment getting lots of exercise and love. Mary was super accommodating when I had travel troubles and needed to add additional time. What a great find! 🥰
Can't speak highly enough of Hammertown. Our dog Lulu has stayed 2 times for extended stays, and it's very comforting for us to know that her days are enriching. We love getting photos of her everyday! When she comes back, she's happy and well adjusted.
If anyone is ever looking for dog boarding/training I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Hammertown Kennels in Pine Plains, NY. They are Amazing!!! The place is Beautiful. The kennels are indoor/outdoor - seperated by a doggie door so that your dog can go in & out as they please (inside air-conditioned of course). There is a farm with horses that the dogs Love. A shallow lake to run and play in. And the Owners are just Great people. I can tell my dog Loved them very much. I am so happy that I chose them & I will most definitely bring my Nala back. 🐾❤
Our 3 boys had a blast here!!! Everyone was so kind and accommodating. We were in a bind & needed a place to board our boys for a week over the holiday weekend, so we reached out to Mary and she gladly got them in. While they were staying there we received pictures and updates which we really enjoyed. Would recommend to any family or friends needing a place for their 4 legged friends.
We boarded our rambunctious and social dog with Mary this week. She got socialized with other dogs, spent time out of the kennel in the office and went on walks. The kennel and grounds are gorgeous. Mary sent videos and pictures so we could see how she was getting on. Mary was very responsive by text.
Most loving and individual attention you're dog will get at any kennel
Amazing care for our dogs! The entire staff is so welcoming and really make is feel like they truly enjoy having our crew stay with them. It's nice to go away and know they are happy and well taken care of.
Last week our puppy had his first boarding experience at Ledgewood. Heather and the staff took extra special care of Ellis. We so appreciate the care and attention they gave him and we loved receiving the updates and photos during his stay. Thank you Ledgewood!
This is an indoor/outdoor dog kennel on a large working farm. The staff will take you dog for long walls around the property of several acres, have them go for a swim in the onsite outdoor pool or do basic training training sessions during their stay. The dogs staying in the outdoor kennels during nice weather do tend to talk to each other a lot. I didn't have my dog stay here but used their pool for training purposes.
Jax has never been away from us for more than 12 hours at a time, but he did amazing from Friday morning drop off til Sunday evening pick up! They have a beautiful, cool facility where the dogs could stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter. He was tuckered out for the next two days from all the running around he did, and he came back to us like a new dog. We had been working on off leash recall but he always ran off. Since he came home from his weekend at Ledgewood, he has perfect manners off leash. We won't ever board anywhere but Ledgewood!
I used to board my dog Bailey here before he passed away and he actually *loved* to be there! The staff took such good care of him! I brought my parents' dog Maple over, and they were so courteous and helpful. They listened to all her fussy habits that my parents liked to keep and didn't mind at all. She came back looking beautiful and happy. Great experience and a great location for a kennel!
We love Ledgewood for our two dogs. Our pitty can be a bit dog aggressive but we know she is safe and loved at Ledgewood. We ask to have our two dogs kept in separate kennels but close so they can take comfort in seeing each other and Ledgewood always accommodates. We travel 45 minutes to Ledgewood because they have always done what's best for our to babies. They also were easily able to accommodate our one dogs medication. We started using them a few years back and could not be happier!
Rosie is so sweet with my ZuZu that hates going to the 'spa' Really top notch grooming and affordable.
Our yellow lab, Bodhi, loves Ledgewood and loves Amanda, who looks after him. When we arrive for a stay, he pulls us into the office with his leash, he's so eager to get inside and see his friends, both human and canine. I think he'd rather stay at Ledgewood than be spoiled with us at home.
We've been taking our GSP here whenever we cannot travel with her. Friendly staff & reasonable rates. We would recommend Ledgewood to all dog owners.
Both of our dogs actually get excited when start to drive down the road to your kennel. We’ve tried them at others and they’ve always come back injured or depressed. They live you! That means we do too. Thanks for always taking such good care of Rudy and Sadie
