Kind and Gentle Person Who Loves Animals!
Laura was an outstanding pet sitter. She took excellent care of my dog and provided needed medication for him daily. She understood the directions of my greyhound's routine and followed then beautifully. He really bonded with her and he slept in her room while we were away. It was so reassuring that Laura was so comfortable with him. She texted me daily to keep me abreast of his activities. She even took him out with her for dinner one night. She was so kind that she left a monogrammed collar sleeve for him. She also left a treat for my boyfriend and I! I only wish that she lived closer to us so that we could see each other on a regular basis and my sweet dog could play with her. Laura kept our house in immaculate condition and her attention to details were really appreciated. A pet owner would be lucky to have Laura sit for their pet. Patrice

Heather and Monica were great dog sitters! They were easy to communicate with and sent us pictures of our dogs daily. We felt very comfortable leaving our 2 dogs and our home in their care. We hope they will sit for us again!

There is no better house and dog sitter than Aube. Bar none, she is the best the planet has to offer. She took superb care of our dog, following our instructions carefully yet so lovingly. Cleo got a wonderful long walk every day. Aube also took care of plants, mail, and left our home in perfect condition. She is new to Zeewoi, but she is a natural at this kind of work, and I sincerely miss her daily communique and photographs of our pup. A wonderful woman and a great caregiver.

Responsible and active couple looking for new furry friends!
Brianna is amazing! She is such a caring and kind person, and my two cats were naturally drawn to her. They usually only cuddle with me one at a time, so I found it interesting that she had several photos where they were cuddling together with her- maybe she somehow put them at ease? She seemed genuinely concerned for their wellbeing- one of them I’ve been struggling to get to eat and she tried out different things and was able to find a technique that I’m still using to get him to eat. She’s incredibly responsible and left my home immaculate. She’s also very easy to work with and is able to roll with everything. Such a great experience. Thank you Brianna!
Shaina was a great sitter for my cat Lionel. She was great with communicating before the sit and was willing to come meet me in person before the sit. She also kept me updated throughout the sit, with photos and little notes. When I returned home the flat was tidy and Lionel seemed happy!
Cynthia was a perfect pet sitter for our little kitty. We knew from her extensive experience with cats that Nala was in good hands. She was extremely responsive via texts when we were away, ensuring us that the 2 of them were having a great time. She went absolutely above and beyond by scrubbing our bath and toilets to remove our mineral deposit rings that we haven't been able to get rid of! She even left the name of the product she used so we can get more in the future. The house was cleaner than when we left. We'll have her back anytime!
We were so pleased to meet John and Trisha! We had them come in a day before we left and enjoyed a nice meal with them and they got to meet Delilah (even if she didn’t seem interested) but she soon warmed up to them - except for the Cat Videos - she wasn’t very interested 🤣 When we returned our home was so clean (probably cleaner than we left it)! We got frequent pics and updates on our Princess! They also left us with a Progress Report with Delilah’s activities and what they did at the house before they left. We would highly recommend John & Trisha if you are lucky enough to have them apply for a House Sitters job! Bill, Kathy & Delilah 🐈⬛❤️
Kathryn was amazing. She helped me figure plans out after another sitter dropped out at the last minute and saved the day! My cat and fish were well taken care of, and she was super communicative when my tank had a problem child moment. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, helpful, and caring sitter!!
After seeing the numerous positive reviews, I knew Cung would be an easygoing and professional cat sitter and house guest, and he was :-) Easy communication, prompt updates and clear concern for Boz & Artie's wellbeing, and pictures of cozying up on the couch together all made our time away secure and stress free. Upon returning home, the cats were chill and the apt was left spotless, as though he hadn't even been there.
Amber is as good a sitter as you will find anywhere! She treated our cats with such love and care, as if they were her own. She left our house in perfect tiptop tidy shape, and made sure to wash all the towels and linens before she left. She even cleaned out our coffee maker and took up our weekly trash without us even mentioning it! Amber is super kind and personable and we welcome her back to sit for us anytime! If you are looking for a sitter, you should definitely accept her application!
Kathy and Ron arrived at our home with a most fantastical toy for our cats and a giant apple pie. Need I say more? They are very experienced sitters and brought personal items that they prefer. We knew we were leaving out cats in good hands. A large part of their 'job' was hand watering our garden and Ron took that in stride. Everything is thriving. Our cats are usually distant with new people but we received photos of them keeping Kathy and Ron company in various situations which was reassuring. They clearly won our cats over. Although Ron and Kathy had a ferry to catch on their last day, they took time to wash their linens and hang them on the clothesline. They also left us a gorgeous plant for our garden. We would very much like to have them back for a longer sit if possible.
My husband and I reached out to Toby & Chloe after reading their profile and impressive reviews only a week before our trip, since our scheduled sitter had to cancel at the last moment. They were very friendly and quick to respond to chat from the very beginning, and ended up exceeding our expectations during their two week stay. It was evident they had thoroughly read our Welcome Guide beforehand, as they arrived knowledgeable and prepared to care for our home and pets. They were very willing and happy to take the necessary time with us to walk through the house and meet our cats, as we got them acclimated with our daily routines and answered any questions. Shortly after we left, our city had a heat wave come through, and after immediately notifying us, Toby went beyond the call of duty and inspected our struggling AC unit to pinpoint the issue. As far as cat care is concerned, we have two seniors (who have more sensitive tummies) that can get irritated after a fur ball or swallowing anything out of the ordinary. When this occurred, Toby & Chloe stepped in and took wonderful care of our cat duo; softening their food and even cradling while hand-feeding them for extra comfort. We truly could not have asked for more affectionate and responsible sitters. We returned to a spotlessly clean home, happy cats, and well maintained plants and pool. (They even cleaned our dusty Kitchen pendant lighting, which requires a steady hand and is definitely a time-commitment …We felt like professional housecleaners had been there!) On our way back, Toby & Chloe stayed in communication with us to monitor our arrival time, allowing them to care for our cats until just before we got home. Overall, they are very reliable and trustworthy sitters whose genuine goal is to provide a top-quality sit, while maintaining your household and seamlessly transitioning to your pets daily schedule.
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.
We've had many pet/house sitters over the last few years and Cat and Eugene will reside at the top of the list of favorites! From my first email with Cat I knew I liked her. She has all of the qualities of a good house and pet sitter: Reliable, a good listener, organized, flexible, caring, and honest. She and Eugene arrived exactly on time for our pre-sit visit, where they got to meet Maya and become familiarized with the house. It was a delight to visit with them and become comfortable knowing Maya would be in good hands. Our scheduled dates changed somewhat and they were extremely flexible and easy going about the changes. Upon our return home, we found the house pretty much in the exact condition we left it in. I can tell that great care was taken for Maya and for the house. Maya seemed to still be looking for them the next day, wandering around the house wondering where the other people who loved her went. I would recommend Cat and Eugene for anyone looking for reliable, kind, respectful, caring, tidy, and honest sitters. If I am lucky, I will get to have them back to sit for me again.

Love that we have Olivia's in the area. They were awesome with our dog Dusty. They bathed him, (which we tried to do and eventually gave up), combed out his undercoat, (which we tried to do and eventually gave up), cut his nails, (you got it... We tried to do and although somewhat successful, we decided to let the girls at Olivia's do it), and then gave him a haircut. Awesome job!!!!
Unfortunately, all the staff that groomed my dog left the business and I have no clue who is the grooming here now? I’m sure there’s a good reason why they left. I have a beautiful standard poodle that needs someone that knows what they’re doing and the girls that groomed my dog no longer work here. Do yourself a favor and go to a new place: OK The Doggie Detailer’s (about 15 mins away) and you will be impressed. I definitely was. I didn’t need to drop my dog off first thing in the morning and they were done in two hours. They did an immaculate job. My dog was happy to be there. Your beloved animals deserve better and kinder groomers!
My dog is animal aggressive. But loves people. Olivias happy tails did a great job at keeping him separated. We were involved in his nail trimming and he looks feels and smells so much better. He didn't want to leave. Now he won't stop smiling
Let me first start off by saying that the abhorrent customer service of this disgraceful establishment is the absolute least of your worries here. I implore you, do not allow your animals to be subjected to such disgusting behavior. When you Bring your dogs in for a simple trim and they come back with not just bloodshot and swollen eyes but their eyes are dark red and filled with blood, that is a sign of abusive and neglectful behavior. These detestable people deserve nothing short of being shut down. This place and these people are vile.
My Pug shepherd loves going to Olivia's! They do an awesome job. 👌 He is clean & happy. Thank You …
Dog abuser. Dog came back all cut up and in bad shape. Shut her down and call the police!
From my heart... No other Olivia and her stuff... OMG the best in the State of NY God bless you Olivia No best words can describe you Thank you beautiful angel
We have been going to Olivia's Happy Tails for a few years now. The salon is bright and clean with cool boutique items in stock. Colleen and her girls are always super friendly and very helpful. They are always patient with our over-dramatic Siberian Husky, taking great care while trimming her nails and making her pretty. We recently brought our cat there so they could dematt her fur, making her feel a lot more comfortable. Keep up the good work, A+
My dog gets very matted as she just refuses to be groomed by me. These guys are so good with her. If it wasn't for them, I don't know how I would care for my pooch.
First time there, they did an excellent job trimming my very small dog (10lbs). Second time her hair was left longer. I Waited a week to get the nerve to call. I really don't like complaining. She told me it was the same as last time and didn't offer to get it right or even to look. I'll be taking my dog to a different groomer. She lost a regular customer at $60.00 a shot.
My dog stayed for a week, never boarded before and he came home just as I left him, which is great! Easy to find and they are very nice!
We've been trusting our dogs to their care for many years now. It's great to have such peace of mind knowing that our pets will be well cared for while we're away. Their facility is clean, and the owners are friendly and helpful. I would recommend them without hesitation.
Great People to deal with. Our two dogs are always safe and secure.
They have such nice accommodations for the Animals! I really felt that they listened to me regarding my pets special needs and took excellent care of them. I highly recommend this Kennel and am so glad I found it!
We miss taking Toby there! We moved South. Toby went there since he was about 6 months old. They were so good with him and he loved going there. Very clean, professional, caring. Great placed
My dogs came back happy and healthy, so I can't ask for much more than that!
Send my two dogs here multiple times. Great experience! They love it!
Very knowledgeable, caring and flexible! Always send our Duncan there whenever they have room.
Great job
