Bethany
Otisco, New York
Clean, friendly, responsible couple happy to care for your home and pets :)
Bethany and Bobby are real lifesavers! They are so nice and took fantastic care of Boris and Natasha; and great care of our home as well. Boris had an unexpected medical issue while we were away and Bethany and Bobby handled it with swift action and compassion and communicated with us every step of the way. I do not hesitate to recommend them most highly and would absolutely love to have them sit for us again.
Meredith
Otisco, New York
I speak kitty!
Meredith has sat for me multiple times now, and every time is perfect. She communicates well, takes great care of the dog, and leaves the house impeccable. I highly recommend Meredith!
Jay
Otisco, New York
Experienced, Trustworthy, and Reliable Couple who will adore your beloved pets
5-star, highly recommended! Jay was an outstanding pet sitter. Great communication and meet/greet right off the bat. Pet care was fantastic - Sassy kitty adored Jay followed him everywhere and shy Swissy kitty too! Jay made an effort to win over the kitties by creating comfort spots for them, played games, tummy rubs, sent pictures and updates. I felt completely at ease to be away. Jay took care of the house, plants, birds and all responsibilities as well as cleaning everything before he left (totally unexpected). It looked like I never left. Outstanding, exceptional care by Jay! Thank you so much, Jay. I enjoyed getting to know you too.

Your friendly neighborhood art nerd, out to explore the world.
Rebecca was fantastic with our home and our boy. We came home to a very tidy and clean space and Judd was very happy :) Would absolutely have Rebecca back!
Brittany
Otisco, New York
Remote Working Animal Lover
As a first time user to the app and a generally anxious person- our first housesit was causing me quite a bit of nerves- which all faded the moment I “met” Brittany over a FaceTime call. Her friendly demeanor, experience with animals and openness immediately eased my mind. Brittany is flexible, easy to communicate with and quick to respond to messages. She was instantly friends with our sometimes grumpy elderly dog, and our young dog was thrilled to have a playmate in her little dog, Nala. Our old house has some quirks, and the pool has maintenance all of which she took on without batting an eye. We received updates and pictures over our two week trip and returned to an absolutely spotless house, complete with freshly laundered linens and bath mats. Our animals were calm, relaxed and happy. We would be thrilled to host Brittany again and anyone who has the opportunity to have her house sit for them should consider themselves hugely blessed!

Animals and Travel: An Empty-Nester's Duo Made in Heaven!
I could not have asked for a better sitter! My dog, Hank, has been looking disappointed with me ever since Lisa left and I returned. She clearly took amazing care of him and spent tons of time with him. He's a recent rescue and, I think, a sensitive soul, so the gentle attention and care she gave to him meant the world. She also took terrific care of the house, leaving it immaculate and the plants thriving. Highly recommend!
Bill
Otisco, New York
Reliable to the Point of Boring
Bill and Sandy are awesome catsitters, housewatchers, and most importantly, people. Ernie took his normal two days to decide they were ok (I think that's how long it takes him to give up on me ever returning), and after that, he was literally eating out of the palm of their hands. And once you are cat-approved, you're golden. My house was spotless when I arrived (by pre-arrangement, they left around one hour before I got back home). Everything was where it belonged, and the place was clean. Before and during the sit, their communication was on-point. They arrived when they said they would, had already done some research of the area, and let me show them around a bit. If our schedules ever line up and they apply another time to watch the little guy, I would simply confirm the dates, accept them, and write 'thanks, but this sit is taken' notes to the other applicants. If they apply for one of your sits, you would be well-served to do the same.
Alaina
Otisco, New York
World traveler & experienced pet-sitter, seeing where my travels take me next!
Alaina was a great sitter and she got on with Patsy my dog straight away. Everything went smoothly and she was always available when I messaged. On my return, later than I expected due s flight delay, she managed to keep some unexpected visitors happy and cooked me a nice meal to welcome me home. I would be happy to recommend her 100%.
Angela
Otisco, New York
Animal Rescuer & Rehabilitator | Experienced Petsitter | Barn Manager
We were delighted with Angela. She was a great dog sitters and I think the dogs didn't care that we came home because she gave them lots of attention. The house was in good order and she made sure packages were picked up from the doorstep. Dog doo in the yard was picked up when we arrived home and the house was neat and tidy. She made herself at home--that's what we wanted and she enjoyed getting to know her.

This is Margie’s 2nd time taking care of my Kitties Frankie & Fife. She is so wonderful with their care, sends me photos to ensure they are in great hands. My house was spotless upon my return and I’m very happy with that I found Zeewoi and Margie. Thank you again, Melanie

Janie
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!
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!
Tim
Pares is an experienced and quality sitter and we knew our cat Juniper (and a few plants) was well cared for. We received regular updates and photos which was really nice to have during our travels. While we missed Juniper, we could see that she enjoyed receiving cuddles and attention from Pares. Upon returning home, our flat was clean and tidy, and Juniper was very happy! Thank you for taking care of her!
Sandi
Chris and Julia were our very first sitters and are the most perfect house/pet sitters anyone would ever want!!! Julia sent video/pictures of our fur babies everyday and we noticed early on that our animals were very relaxed and happy!! This made our trip so enjoyable and stress free knowing that our animals were safe and being spoiled and loved the whole time. They even trained our dog to sit while her leash was being attached and was able to pet and hold our cat that is somewhat nervous around strange people he doesn't know. When I got back from the trip, the house was very clean along with Julia/Chris had washed the bed sheets, bath towels, vacuumed, dusted etc., and even washed the pet bedding. They also left some SE Asia treats for us to try which so sweet of them. Definitely the perfect house sitters!!!
Tiffany
Paige, David, and family were WONDERFUL sitters for my crew! They were so pleasant and personable, and the pets warmed up to them very quickly. Even my rescue cat who tends to stray away from men loved David. I received regular updates and communication (before and during the sit). I truly did not have any concerns while I was away knowing that everyone had such great care and attention given to them. (I know the dogs had a good time because when I came home there was no commotion over my return.) I was away on NYE and Paige had no issues keeping an eye on one of the dogs who has anxiety surrounding loud noises. The family cleaned up after themselves and may have left the house cleaner than when I left! Truly such a great family who I would welcome back any time!
Bridget
Lindsey watched our cat and dog for a long weekend when we went out of town. She was a very communicative sitter sending frequent pictures and voice notes with updates. She did a great job of following their schedules and giving them attention. The animals seemed to be happy and relaxed when we returned home and I believe Lindsey enjoyed getting to discover all of the eateries our town has to offer. A win-win for everyone!
Marni
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!
Clare
Karen was able to step in a sit for me on short notice after another sitter canceled. She was very thorough and communicative and I felt I had left my apartment and cats in good hands with her. I came home to a clean apartment and happy cats. I definitely recommend Karen as a sitter.
Ned
Pennee and Bill were the BEST pet sitters and guests ever! I really wanted them to stay forever ! Our cat, Miss Kitty bonded so much to them, that she really wasn’t that happy to see me when I got home .Our cat is a finicky eater and they tried all different types of food and treats for her. They sent me regular photos of miss kitty and I knew everything was great when most of the pics had miss kitty on their lap. Our cat doesn’t take to many people but she immediately fell in love with them. Pennee sent us our mail and prescription meds on a regular basis , and went out of her way to take care of any issues . They fell in love with the neighbors and community and just made our lives so easy . We experienced the Covid 19 virus outbreak quarantine during this time and Pennee and Bill agreed to stay a month longer at our home . They were extremely flexible with their travel plans so that everyone would be safe. Upon our arrival home, we were greeted with a bouquet of flowers , beautiful hanging basket of flowers for outdoors and a beautiful bottle of wine . And our house had never been cleaner ! Bill and Pennee are a pet owners dream couple !I felt extremely lucky to have found such a great petsitter and new friend . We will be visiting each other in the future .
Steven
Kristine was wonderful again as our local sitter from just down the street. The boys take to her like she is their best friend whenever she comes to sit with them. She sent us photos of them playing, relaxing, drinking water and eating so we knew they were well taken care of. The house and the cats were in excellent shape and excellent hands while we were away. It is wonderful that she enjoys the house and the cats so much and tells us so. Kristine comes with our highest recommendation! Thank you Kristine!

Best doggie day care anywhere hands down. CRitters knowledge and expertise as a dog whisperer is second to none. Her passion extends to every details. My babies won’t go anywhere else!!
I board my dog here often when I go away. She always has the best time. There’s no other place like this. Stephanie and her team do an awesome job.
Always, always caring for the hounds. Just about perfect. You feel the love as you pull in. Recommend
Very accommodating, my pup has never been boarded and gets scared Very easily ‼️
Would you leave a family member with just anyone? I leave my best friend there and do not worry about her when I am gone. We refer to Critter Sitters as "doggie paradise" as it is a vacation getaway made for dogs; they have swimming, multiple play areas, and group activities most of which seem to involve running. They will even pick up and drop off. My "couch potato" dog comes home happy (and then sleeps for 2 or three days.) Highly recommended for furry family members.
We’ll run business. Great exercise for our dog. We call it “summer camp!”
I’ve never left a review in my life but I feel obligated to leave this one! We dropped my dog off to try his first day of day care and we asked if we should just do a half day since he was new. They assured me he would be fine for a full day but would call if there were any issues. Unfortunately when we picked him up our dog was in severe pain and couldn’t walk. All four feet were completely raw and bleeding. I called to ask them how this happened and they said it’s completely normal and just put some ointment on it. After several hundred dollars at the vet and numerous trips, taking days off of work, our dog is still having issues 4 months later. I never contacted them about the vet bills because I blamed myself for not doing enough research about the place, but to make matters worse they called me a month later asking for me to pay for my session, when we had actually paid more than we needed so we didn’t have to pay ‘next time’. Luckily they were able to recall we paid already. There certainly won’t be a next time, please think twice before sending your dog here.
My dog has a better vacation than we do when he goes there. His last visit he cried all the way home. He loves being there with all the others and gets to live an all out free dogs life!! No worries about Marley while we are away.
Stephanie and the staff are awesome. I was skeptical about putting our 6 month old Yellow Lab into a boarding facility because I've never used one before. After my Veterinarian recommended Critter Sitters we did our research and then contacted them to set up our interview. Our dog now goes there a few times a month to see his friends and gets so excited the minute he sees where he is. He comes home very tired and it's easy to see he's had a great time. I highly recommend Stephanie and Critter Sitters of CNY.
One of the few boarding facilities that actually understands dogs. They have acres for your dog to run around. Every time I picked up my dog she was happy and tired. The pack formations there quelled her fear of the water and she actually swims now. Couldn't recommend enough to anyone with a medium sized to big dog.
