Annie
Lakeview, New York
Lifelong pet lover, longtime pet sitter!
Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
Lisa
Lakeview, New York
Responsible, caring digital nomad looking to befriend all the animals.
Lise was amazing! She is great at communicating before, during and after sit and very clean. She took wonderful care of our two small dogs and our home. She was very understanding and flexible in arrival/departure. We had to shorten the sit due to illness and Lise was very accommodating. Looking for another opportunity for Lise to housesit.

Experienced sitter looking to give your pets some TLC; reliable, clean.
Great experience, we will repeat this!
Renata
Lakeview, New York
Brazilian Vet looking for pets and humans to be friends with.
Renata did a fantastic job taking care of our dog, Lolita. She was easy to communicate with and adaptive to working out any situation that came up. She did a great job working with our often nervous, skittish fur-baby, who was very happy and comfortable with Renata. Definitely recommend!
Zoe
Lakeview, New York
Writer/PhD student with 15 years of experience with cats and dogs
I went overseas for a week and was a bit nervous to leave my dog for so long. Zoe was perfect and put me at ease. She was on time and easy to schedule with; she kept my home tidy and kept Kinoko fully entertained and cared for. definitely recommend her! 💜🐶
Lei
Lakeview, New York
A Compassionate Pet Lover
It was an absolute pleasure having Lei sit for our three kitties. She is a warm and positive person who made us feel completely at ease knowing that our home and cats were in safe and loving hands. She communicated regularly, sending lots of pictures. We came home to an immaculate house and three happy and healthy kitties. We would be thrilled to have Lei back again.

Responsible couple looking to be your reachable and careful sitters :)
Andre is a delightful person, fine house sitter and terrific with our dog. Aside from a few crumbs in kitchen and a cup left in the livingroom, house was in applepie order. Mail organized, sheets stripped and folded, dog bowls cleaned! Would use Andre any time! Highly recommend

Lakeview, New York
Responsible, respectful, and kind remote workers seeking to help!
Erin & Max gave us a fantastic first experience with Zeewoi! They communicated very well throughout and left the house in a spotless condition!
Sahar
Lakeview, New York
Exploring life and sharing stories.
Sahar and Puya are the absolute best! Look no further! This is who you want to care for your furry friend and your home. I have used this platform many many times, and I have never felt my pup was more loved and cared for than when she was in their care. We were gone for a week, which can be worrisome to leave your pup that long. Let me tell you - I did not worry, not once. They sent frequent updates and photos and took my Luna to many of her favorite places. They also took such wonderful care of our home - it was cleaner once we returned home than when we left it. Incredible communication, organization, care, and cleanliness. A 10/10 sit. We would have them back any time. Sahar and Puya, thank you from the bottom of my heart for being so good to my girl!
Reviews from Cat Owners
Rachael
Sofia and Nicole were excellent sitters to our 2 playful cats (an adult tabby and a BIG Maine coon kitten). They gave us a couple updates daily with pictures, as we requested. They were easy to communicate with before and throughout the entire sit. When we came home, our apartment was tidy (probably neater than we left it!) and our cats were relaxed and happy. They were also kind enough to leave us with some sweet bandanas for our boys. We were super pleased with the quality of care, and would happily recommend Sofia and Nicole to anyone in need of a pet or house sitter!
Daniel
Julia was an amazing sitter and we couldn't be happier with our experience! From our first contact to when we arrived home after our trip, communication was excellent and we were able to enjoy our time away with complete peace of mind that our pets and our home were in good hands. We particularly appreciated how clean and tidy everything was when we got home with the linens and towels all washed and dried! Our cats clearly didn't miss us a bit - they were relaxed, their coats brushed and were giving us side-eye "oh, so, back to normal then? " looks as we unpacked. Thanks for everything Julia!
Joel
Hilary was a fantastic pet sitter for our cat - you would be so lucky to have her care for your pet and home. She took exceptional care of her and our home. Hilary played so much with her and took the best care. She was communicative, easy to coordinate with, and left everything super clean for us when we came back. Five stars is understating how extraordinary she was - we cannot recommend her enough!!

Florence and Robert were outstanding sitters. We asked them to arrive a day early as our guests to learn the routine on our farm. In getting to know them we found them to be good hearted, down to earth people with a love of animals and diligent in learning our routines to care for our poultry, cats and dog as well as our garden and orchard. Not a typical or easy sit. We travelled with ease knowing our critters were being well taken care of. Arriving home, the house was very clean and looked well cared for. The animals were healthy as were the garden and orchard. Out pets missed them when they left – our dog stared down the driveway after them until their car was out of sight. It is nice to find sitters we would like to hang out with and we look forward to having them sit for us again.
Andrew
Lindsey was super communicative, friendly, responsible, and an excellent sitter for our two cats. When we returned, our home was clean and our cats relaxed and happy as if we had never left ! She sent us photos and updates every day, as requested, and when a random mishap occurred in the apartment, she let us know right away and was proactive in handling issue. We felt like both our cats and our home were in very caring, capable and respectful hands. Excellent! Thank you Lindsey!

Wow, what a find Justin is! I feel as though I won a lottery. As I was revelling in the communication we were having during his stay, I looked over his profile and realized either that he had updated it during his stay OR I never even read it. I was so impressed with his initial application that described multiple stays taking care of cats in Turkey that I knew he was going to be a great choice. So I'm not sure that I even read his profile or reviews. Turned out...he was more than I could have EVER hoped for. Justin is VERY organized and clear with his communication. Just as--or maybe more--important, he is a poster child for what zeewoi can be: more than just an economical way to get a pet sitter or a place to stay. Justin embraces the barter economy and the opportunity it presents to get to know people. Although we only met the day that I turned the house and my 2 cats over to his care, we had delightful communication throughout his stay. He wanted to be sure he was providing the right care to all living and non-living elements of my home as well as just chat beyond what we'd had an opportunity to cover when we were face to face on the handoff day. Bottom line: I'd have Justin back even if I wasn't going anywhere! I've met a friend. And my neighbors did as well! Oh yes, and my two cats were well looked after, the house was in ship shape, and Justin was able to brief the next sitter in person (I'd had to extend my time away and Justin already had another commitment). To say I felt confident leaving my pets and home in Justin's care is an understatement. Justin is a real adventurer and believer in the power of both human and animal connection. Without a doubt, I would recommend him as a sitter...and a friend! Thank you, Justin for a great example of how to wrestle so much more meaning out of zeewoi.
LEANNE
Laura came across the country to sit for us. She arrived a day early and from the moment my pets met her our Lokie was smitten. We have one shy cat Luna and she was out and about on the first night. Laura kept us updated and shared her Adventures as well. We do live in a small hideaway of a town so seeing that she was able to enjoy herself was nice. We returned to a clean home, laundry done also, and very content pets. Lokie was sad for a few days as he missed his friend. We would recommend Laura as a sitter to anyone and would have her back again. 5 plus stars. ⭐

If you are looking for someone to take care of your fur babies and your house while you're away, Daniel is your guy! I had discovered zeewoi just a couple of weeks before I was to leave on vacation and I was not only apprehensive if the website was too good to be true, but also under a real time crunch. I reached out to over 100 local sitters and several possibilities fell through. I was confident I would find the right sitter and when Daniel applied for the sit and I started to text and converse with him, I knew I had found the perfect sitter for my two cats! Daniel was upbeat and positive, articulate and personable, warm and caring, and he asked all the right questions about Lilly and Eli (I hadn't had the time to complete my Welcome Guide, yet!?!). I shared that I had an easy cat and problem cat -- Lilly, who is sweet, social and eats dry food, and Eli who is skittish, was periodically pooping outside the kitty litter box and was eating prescription canned food twice a day mixed with a probiotic and stool firmer. I asked if he thought he was up for the job and he happily said he was. Since he flew all the was from Chicago, I thought the least my husband and I could do was pick him up at the airport. When he arrived, he pulled out his notebook. He patiently walked with me as I reviewed kitty care, showed him around the house, and where he would be sleeping. He immediately picked up Lilly who was excited about meeting her new friend and Eli bugged out and down the stairs to the basement (his favorite hiding place!). We got Daniel connected to the internet, set him up at our dining room table and headed off to airport, leaving our house and kitties in the best of hands. Daniel wanted to make sure I felt comfortable and assured while we were away. He made sure to text with me every other day (he had asked my preference earlier), sent photos of Lilly being her cute self while Eli hid during the day although he gave me assurances that he was eating his food and using the litter box (there were a few accidents, but Daniel never complained about these additional duties). When we returned from our vacation, the house was also spotless and well cared for and Daniel had even washed the sheets for me! It is with utter happiness and complete confidence that I recommend Daniel as a fantastic Sitter. He is trustworthy, responsible, caring, and competent, and you can rest assured that both your house and sweet pets will be watched over and treated with TLC -- and will truly be in the best of hands while you are away!

We couldn't have asked for better sitters than Pares and Mark. Since our initial contact, it was straightforward to communicate with Pares. We were lucky enough to get a chance to meet Pares with our dog Luna, and Luna got along with her immediately. During our time away from home, she kept us informed about how both our dog and cat were doing, and they were both cuddling with her since the first day. We got a lot of pictures and knew that they were safe and happy. The apartment was exactly as we had left it when we came back. Pares and Mark even ran the dishwasher and the washing machine for us. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter, and it made our trip very easy knowing they were taken care of so well. We'd have Pares and Mark back to our home without any hesitation.
Paola
Chris was a fantastic cat sitter for our elderly and high maintenance kitty. Chris was the perfect combination of responsible and on top of her medication needs while also being calm and relaxed about her picky eating habits and the need to monitor her food and medication consumption. He was prompt, easy to get a hold of, responsible, and overall, a great sitter. I would definitely recommend him and most certainly hope to have him stay with her again.

A Pawsitive Experience (Susan Ferry dba)
Recent Reviews:
Susan has done a great job with my Shiloh not only teaching him commands/listening skills, but also socializing him with other dogs and cats. She truly cares about the animals she trains and cares for. Her breadth and depth of knowledge about animals is remarkable! The advice she has given me has been most helpful with Rebel. I recommend A Pawsitive Experience without hesitation!
Susan has helped our family by teaching us how to understand our dogs' needs and behaviors. She quickly identified some areas we, as pet owners, needed to improve and gave us the tools to reinforce the good behavior we wanted to see from the pups. I appreciate her eye for detail and way of breaking down lessons into digestible parts. Our training sessions built up on the successes of previous sessions and the feedback we received was in line with our self reflection; praise for improvements made and tips for shoring up areas of struggle. We have a more peaceful home, with 2 pups and 2 young kids, now that we have the knowledge to set behavioral expectations for the dogs and the confidence to put our training exercises into practice. Thank you, Susan! I highly recommend her services to anyone serious about helping their good boys become great boys.
Susan is truly fantastic, no other way to describe her. From personal experience A Pawsitive Experience with Susan is the only place I would trust to bring my dog for day care and for longer stays. One can leave his/her dog and know that their pup will be in good hands and have the time of their life. Additionally, she will keep you updated on how your pup is doing and is very transparent and honest!!!!! I left Leo with Susan for three months and not only has Leo gotten super responsive and calmer. Highly, HIGHLY recommend! Truly understands dogs, owners and the importance of training for building a loving relationship between the two.
My husband and I have a very energetic 14 month old Border Collie - Susan was recommended to us by friends, and I can say that he is a totally new dog after going through the PAWS program! He is so much calmer and he has learned so many new skills. He doesn't bolt out the door like he used to, now he knows to wait for us to give him permission. Susan taught us how to handle him better as well, which has turned us into better dog owners! We are both impressed with Susan's knowledge base, and we have seen significant improvements in our dog's behavior. I highly recommend Susan for both training needs and boarding! We will continue to take our dog to Susan once a week so that he can continue to work on his skills. We are so happy with our investment, and can definitely say we had such a "pawsitive" experience with using Susan as our trainer!
If you’re looking for a great place for your canine family member I highly recommend Pawsitive. Susan has helped my Chocolate Girl Sophia learn how to overcome her anxiety issues. After only 3 weeks of daycare as well as a few nights of boarding, Sophie has become more confident and less anxious. She loves the other dogs.I feel good about the fact that Susan assesses all the dogs to be sure they are a good fit . When Sophie stayed for boarding she was in a home environment and became one of Susan’s family. I love that Sophie is so happy to go to daycare and that she’s tired from a day of play when she comes home. Pawsitive is not only Susan’s business but also her passion. She truly loves what she does and it shows.
When I got my golden retriever puppy he was a hot mess and I knew he needed to be trained. A co-worker recommended Susan and I'm so glad she did. Since completing her puppy course, my puppy has completely changed. Susan created a program that was specifically catered to him and what he needed. While providing consistency and structure she gave him love and praise. Since I live a bit far, I left my puppy boarded there. Throughout the entire process, she communicated about his progress, how he was doing and his overall growth. She reassured me he was having fun and enjoying his stay. Without Susan I would have been lost when it came to my new puppy. I HIGHLY recommend her and her services. She's very knowledgeable. My dog was always happy when he was under her care.
Susan is an angel in disguise! As a new dog owner and long time animal lover I knew very little about how to care for my 7 year old English Yellow Labrador who came to me after having 5 litters at a breeding kennel. Susan knew exactly what my girl needed!!! She offered her love, structure, consistency, and new friends. Honestly she offered her a 2nd home! Susan has also shared so much advice and help with the little challenges I never saw coming... I’m sure there will be more of these and it’s comforting to know that Susan will always take the time to help me figure these things out. Susan keeps the best interest of the dogs in her care in mind at all times. She individualizes her care based on what that particular dog needs. My dog is always happy upon her arrival to daycare. Susan has amazing hours and is a great communicator so if I have asked for some flexibility she has always been able to accommodate my dog. Any dog young, old or in between would be lucky to be a part of the A Pawsitive Experience family! I strongly endorse Susan, her work/business and the environment she provides for the dogs!!!
We fully trust Susan with our 8 month old great Dane, Margaret. We did the 4 week PAWS program and saw a big improvement in our puppy's obedience. Great Danes are known for being picky when it comes to training and the job Susan did was remarkable. Susan not only is great at correcting the puppy's behavior, she's great at correcting the human behaviors that help with a dogs development. Go Bills.
I enrolled my 4 month old lab shepherd mix in the 4 week long PAWS program. Since my puppy was a rescue, he was initially very nervous around new people and other dogs. Susan did an excellent job of socializing him and helping him become the confident pup that he his today. In addition to this change of behavior, Susan was great to work with and showed me many helpful tips on how to handle unfamiliar situations that come along with being a first time dog owner. This program was extremely helpful and I would highly recommend it to anyone with a new puppy!
I have been entrusting my dogs to Susan at A Pawsitive Experience since 2007, so when I was finally ready for a puppy I knew there was nowhere else that I wanted to take him for training and daycare! I enrolled him in the PAWS program (5 days a week for 4 weeks), and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. Susan’s positive approach to training is amazing, and both Arlo and I learned a lot – she trains the person as well as the dog 😊. From day one he was exposed to dogs of all sizes, personalities, and ages, as well as cats. And he was subjected to “real life” experiences (doorbells, deliveries, people he didn’t know, etc.) which helped him learn how to cope with them. I still take him to daycare twice a week, and I know that he is safe and happy and well taken care of. I can’t say enough good things about Susan - I would highly recommend A Pawsitive Experience to anyone who needs training, daycare, or boarding!
