What a treat to come home from our trip to happy animals and a lovely clean house. Even though girls were pleased to see us they were more than happy to ignore us after 10 minutes which was great to see. Thankyou both Jaclynn and Jerry, it was lovely meeting you both, and thankyou for looking after our animals and house. We loved the photos everyday of our animals an the exciting trips you took them on . I am sure they are all missing you. I recommend you both 100% plus as house sitters.

Carole & Gaetan - devoted couple for your precious pets!
English below Quelle chance d'avoir eu Carole et Gaétan comme gardiens! Carole et Gaétan ont tout deux fait carrière en Santé et au premier abord, vous percevez leur altruisme... leur besoin de répondre à vos besoins et de vous permettre de partir en vacances en toute quiétude. Notre première rencontre s'est faite via Facetime. L'excellente communication et les atomes crochus étant au rendez-vous, nous avons du coup convenu qu'ils seraient les gardiens de notre chat Charlie et de notre maison. À notre demande, Carole et Gaétan sont arrivés en après-midi le jour précédant notre départ pour faciliter la transition pour notre cher Charlie, nous permettre de passer à travers le guide de bienvenue et se connaître autour d'un repas. Leur arrivée a été très chaleureuse et spontanée comme si on se connaissait depuis longtemps. Charlie qui est plutôt timide avec de nouveaux venus s'est tout de suite approché de Carole pour se laisser caresser puis, en relevant la tête, Carole, infirmière retraitée, a alors vu la jeune cicatrice chirurgicale sur le genou de mon conjoint Robert!! Ce fut une rechute instantanée pour elle: Spontanément, elle a donné de précieux conseils médicaux à Robert pour protéger sa cicatrice durant nos vacances à la mer. Quelle générosité et quelle chance pour nous! Pour ce qui est de la soirée, elle fut des plus agréables. Robert et Gaétan étaient tellement centrés sur leur conversation que le poulet est resté un peu trop longtemps sur le BBQ mais ce n'est pas grave car ensuite, durant le repas, nous avons réglé les problèmes du monde entier. Durant notre escapade, Carole a pris soin de communiquer avec nous quotidiennement en nous envoyant des petits mots et photos et elle nous a avisés de l'heure de leur départ qui s'est fait quelques heures avant notre retour tel que nous l'avions convenu. À notre arrivée, nous avons retrouvé notre chat en pleine santé et notre maison immaculée. De plus, les serviettes et draps avaient été lavés et les lits faits. À l"extérieur, les fleurs resplendissaient. Carole et Gaétan, ce fut un immense plaisir de vous rencontrer et nous espérons avoir le bonheur de vous revoir. Merci beaucoup à vous deux et bons voyages et sittings! Et pour vous, membres de zeewoi qui cherchez des gardiens pour vos animaux bien-aimés et votre chez-soi, ne laissez pas passer leur candidature. Vous serez assurément comblés et conquis par leurs personnalités. Lise, Robert et Charlie _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ We were so lucky to have Carole and Gaétan as sitters! Carole and Gaétan both had careers in Health and at first glance, you perceive their altruism... their need to meet your needs and allow you to go on vacation in complete peace of mind. Our first meeting was via Facetime. The excellent communication and the chemistry being there, we at once agreed that they would be the sitters of our cat Charlie and our house. At our request, Carole and Gaétan arrived in the afternoon the day before our departure to facilitate the transition for our dear Charlie, allow us to go through the welcome guide and get to know each other over a meal. Their arrival was very warm and spontaneous as if we had known each other for a long time. Charlie, who is rather shy around newcomers immediately approached Carole to let himself be petted and then, when she raised her head, Carole, a retired nurse, saw the young surgical scar on my partner Robert's knee!! It was an instant relapse for her: Spontaneously, she gave valuable medical advice to Robert to protect his scar during our seaside vacation. How generous and how lucky for us! As for the evening, it was most pleasant. Robert and Gaétan were so focused on their conversation that the chicken stayed a little too long on the BBQ but that didn't matter because during the meal, we solved the whole world's problems. During our getaway, Carole took care to communicate with us daily by sending us little notes and photos and she informed us of the time of their departure which was a few hours before our return as we had agreed. . When we arrived, we found our cat in great health and our house immaculate. In addition, the towels and sheets had been washed and the beds made. Outside, the flowers were resplendent. Carole and Gaétan, it was a great pleasure to meet you and we hope to have the pleasure of seeing you again. Thank you both very much and good travels and sittings! And for you, members of zeewoi who are looking for sitters for your beloved pets and house don't let their application pass you by. You will certainly be delighted and won over by their personalities. Lise, Robert and Charlie
Laura
Pickettville, New York
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

Simon
Pickettville, New York
International couple, an artist and educator, exploring, loving, and cycling!
It’s always a good feeling to be able to go away knowing everything is safe and sound. It’s even better to return home to contented pets and a tidy house. Simon and Kansinee are AMAZING sitters, they met all of our expectations before/during the sit and when we came back home! Our dog Nova knew immediately they are true animal lovers. They hadn’t even walked through the door yet when they first arrived that she immediately fell in love with them. They are a lovely couple that one can easily see their attention and love for animals. They are responsive and trustworthy. They kept constant communication with us while we were away, that gave us piece of mind knowing our furry family were well taking care of. I highly recommend Simon and Kansinee to anyone who is looking for kind, responsible, trustworthy and loving pet/house sitters. I would ask them to take care of my furry family again, without hesitation!
Vikki
Pickettville, New York
Solo empty nester experienced w pets & properties looking for sitters and to sit
Vicki is a great pet sitter - I highly recommend her! I've had numerous sitters and she's definitely amongst the best when it comes to communication, and attention to taking care of my Bootsie and my home. She sent both photos and videos, and was helpful in paying attention to what Bootsie was and wasn't eating and drinking (he's been persnickety lately) and letting me know. She works remote so it was also great knowing that Bootsie was getting more time with someone in the house than you'd normally expect. Additionally, Vicki was understanding and helpful when I had to ask her a favor to do two personal things for me, things I'd normally never ask of a sitter. I trusted her right away, in part because I know she is a pet parent herself, as well as a sitter. I returned to find my home clean and my kittykins contented. Would love to have Vicki back again if she ever wants to spend more time in Boston!
Francesco
Pickettville, New York
Mature and active Canadian couple looking for a unique travel experience.
Francesco and Martha were fabulous pet sitters. they were very relaxed with Eddie’s exuberant greeting…all the more difficult because he had a vet’s cone around his head! eddie had a hot spot and they applied ointment when needed…I came back to a well healed dog. I would highly recommend them for your pet sit.
Reviews from Cat Owners

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!

I am struggling with naming our top adjective to describe Michael and Jeanne. "Conscientious" will likely be it but then again, "personable," "reliable," "organised," and "animal-loving" are top contenders. If you are reading this review and contemplating inviting this couple to watch your pets, then look no further. We have had a number of excellent house sitters but this pair was next level in terms of the love they showed our cats, Maxx and Nala. When we came back, we could our animals already missed them. These cats, who have never slept with anyone other than us, were getting in bed with them each night -- and that meant climbing stairs! The day before our trip, Nala got an ear infection and had to be put on steroids for asthma. Michael and Jeanne did not sign up for that when the sit was booked but they took it in stride. In the last-minute rush, I relayed that Nala needed her oral steroids morning and night. Michael read the RX label, indicating one dose a day, and contacted the vet to clarify. So you can see why "conscientious" is right up there. They saved Nala from an overdose! We were gone three weeks and they sent us just the right amount of pictures and videos. They bought cat toys (I forgot to put ours out!) and actively engaged with them, including 20-minute massages for Maxx. I truly believed them when they said they fell in love with our fur babies. The house was spotless (which was not important to me but truly appreciated) but I smiled when all six water stations in our yard were filled. They took seriously my love for and the needs of the wildlife in our yard. Our plants were all in good condition as well. Sensing they were "next level" when I met them, I predicted they would want to leave a meal for us upon our return. I asked them not to but they found another way to bow out with class. They made a donation to a nonprofit I work with instead. This I learned from the lovely thank you note they left. I hope they will consider Charles and I friends because we certainly feel that way about them now. What special people. If you book them, treat them well because they are going to do that for you for sure.

Ally was great! We got to meet for a few minutes before I headed out and I felt super reassured that both Goose and my home were in good hands. My cat is picky when it comes to strangers, but he was comfy in Ally’s lap right away the first night! She communicated well and sent cute pictures while I was away. My home was clean and Goose was happy when o got back. I highly recommend Ally as a sitter and she’s welcomed back anytime!
KOLBY
Becca was fantastic - we cannot say enough about how great she is as a pet and house sitter and as a human being! Becca committed to the sit 8 months in advance and was great with her responsiveness in communication during the long lead up to the sit. She arrived early and got the low downs on the animals and house stuff prior to us leaving. She woke up crazy early to help us get to the airport and picked us up when we returned, which made the traveling so much easier on our end. She left the house spot-less (and this is no exaggeration), with the linens cleaned, and a wonderful meal waiting for us upon our return. She is an absolute gem of a person with a great sense of humor and a kind and compassionate nature, and she really enjoys the animals in her care. Our dog and cat were very well cared for and totally at ease upon our return. If you are lucky enough to have Becca sit for you, you will be very pleased at how well she does the job!
Tonya
Brian is a very professional sitter that does a good job, pays attention to details and is easy to work with. I have a lot of plants. A lot. He suggested me do a video for the plant care so he could be sure of which ones needed what. Brilliant! I’d never thought of that. They were in great shape when I returned. I explained that I needed some flexibility with travel dates, he agreed and rolled with the punches like a champ when my dates did indeed change. Unfortunately, he was a bit allergic to my cat but made it work anyway. He was really awesome about everything including a tree that fell next door in a storm and blocked the road for three days. I appreciate that he appreciated how funny and how much personality Boo has. They got along well and I received some great videos. I returned home to a happy cat and a house well taken care of 😊. I would definitely recommend Brian.
Sean
Kimberly was a wonderful sitter who watched our two cats for us while we were out. She was willing to come a day early to help acclimate herself with the animals, and this was exceedingly helpful in making sure the cats would be comfortable with her during our absence. I would highly recommend Kimberly if you're looking for a responsible, caring sitter.

Toby and Chloe were one of the best house sitters we have ever had! As a small animal vet I have seen many types of pet sitters and these guys are top notch. Our pets are not easy either. We have special needs dogs, cats on medication, dogs with behavioral issues, horses, chickens, goats and a large (100 lb) Sulcata tortoise who needed close monitoring of the temperature in his barn. Everyone was thriving and happy when we came home. They read through the packet and asked thorough, thoughtful questions. They went above and beyond grooming, mucking and grazing the horses and goats everyday. They chopped greens and fruit daily for our tortoise. If we had known how amazing they were we would have booked a 3 week trip instead! Can't recommend them enough.
Lorie
Amazing sitters - I feel so fortunate to have had them stay. Chapeau was treated to daily walks and belly rubs, and my cat Tica was overflowing with contentment from having been taken care of so well. The house was cleaner than I left it and I was treated to a nice note and a lovely candle upon my return. Also, they left a checklist of item that they had done while here. Truly above and beyond!

Tonya was great and filled in after our other sitter had to cancel. She was very self sufficient and navigated acclimating herself to everything since she arrived after we left. She gave thoughtful updates on my cat and I could tell she really enjoyed her, so that means the world to me! She left the place immaculate and we will certainly have Tonya back!
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 .
