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!

Work-from-home coding girl who is obsessed with animals.
Maggie was a complete pro. She took beautiful care of our Lucy and after maggie left she moped for a couple of days. Maggie's communication skills were excellent, she shared some cute pictures of Lucy hogging the chaise lounge on the deck and giving Maggie no room; and the two of them taking a walk. If she had a question about Lucy's diet, she asked it and she double checked with us as to our itinerary. When we returned, our house was cleaner than the way we left it.I highly recommend Maggie.

Retired Teacher and Husband Are Ready to Spoil Your Darling!
Pat and Max were excellent housesitters. They were very responsive, sent updates and pictures, and clearly loved on the cats - I actually think our cats love them more, LOL! They handled a hiccup with our AC with grace, and our house was very clean when we came home. They were communicative and asked questions. All in all a wonderful experience and we would love to have them again anytime!

School teacher to care for your home and pet(s)
Cintia was so nice and a wonderful pet sitter for Mopsy and Sadie. The kitties enjoyed hanging out with her! Cintia was very communicative with us while we were away giving us updates and sending pictures of Mopsy and Sadie. There was a situation with Sadie and Cintia immediately notified us and resolved the issue. We would definitely recommend Cintia.

I was very happy with Sabrina and Niles as our cat sitters! They arrived a day early to make sure there's enough time for us to show them everything, and they made sure to note down everything for later. Also, a huge thank you because our regular cat food and litter delivery was due during their sit and while it usually arrives in one go, this time it came split into four or five individual deliveries with one ending up at our neighbours. Sabrina and Niles made sure that everything was there and also went to the neighbour to pick up the last piece, and in the end build a nice cardboard box space that the cats absolutely loved (one of the boxes is still alive and is being used every day). We received daily updates and pictures too which I'm always super grateful for as it's the highlight of my day when I'm away. I can absolutely recommend Sabrina and Niles and would not hesitate to invite them back. :-)

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!

Mature couple ready to help.
Shelley is a dangerous and incompetent housesitter. She should never be entrusted with anything more valuable than a houseplant. Her pet care was terrible. On the 2nd day she left our 2 dogs outside in the backyard, unattended on a 83-degree hot, humid summer day with no water for 90 minutes while she left our home to go out for a walk. We saw this on our Ring camera and immediately reported this to zeewoi (full complaint currently under investigation) and let her know directly how concerning this was for us. Not only was it unsafe to leave the dogs outside while she left the home, but it also went against clear instructions that were communicated to her in person during the handover and in writing about what to do with the dogs anytime she left our home. She repeatedly had trouble following basic instructions that were communicated verbally, in writing and in text reminders. She was incapable of following basic pet care requirements. We asked that only one of our 2 dogs be walked once a day (I did not want her walking the other stronger dog, because during the handover we went on a walk together and Shelley DROPPED our dog's leash). We use Fi collars, so we know that over the course of 11 days, Shelley brought our dog for only 4 walks. We did a phone interview with Shelley and never did she inform us that our medium sized, 40 pound dogs would be too much for her to walk. Additionally, Shelley traveled with her sister who clearly is unwell (likely dementia or some sort of developmental disability) and also was afraid and nervous around dogs. She never informed us of this, and it was clearly a huge safety issue. Shelley's sister let our INDOOR cat out multiple times (at least 4 times are seen on outside cameras). Sometimes our cat was left outside for 20+ minutes without Shelley or her sister realizing. This is so, so dangerous- we are on a main street with a lot of traffic. We are lucky our cat didn't get lost or killed under her "care." Shelley and her sister left our home in a terrible, and honestly gross and unsanitary, condition. A paper bag with human feces was found in our bathroom and made the entire 2nd floor of the house stink for days. The rug in my office was covered with urine- which makes me wonder if she locked my dogs in this room for extended periods of time. Our dogs are fully house trained and have never had any potty accidents. The kitchen was filled with flies, milk had been spilled in the refrigerator and never cleaned up (a gross film had formed by the time we got home). The blender was put away in the cabinet unclean. The recycle bin was filled with dirty trash- so much so that we got a notice from the city. She carelessly used metal utensils and scratched our Le Creuset dutch oven (which will now void its lifetime guarantee). Three brand new bars of soap were taken from our home, like they were some sort of hotel amenity. Shelley went into our basement storage freezer (which she had NO need to access) and took home 3 gallon bags (about 20lbs) of frozen tomatoes I had harvested before our trip from our garden. When I addressed this with her, she claimed her sister packed them by accident (which, if true, & your sister is so unwell that she's packing things from someone's home that are NOT HERS, she should not be allowed to travel with you). However, I don't believe that's the case- 20 pounds of tomatoes aren't really something that just sneaks by your consciousness- it's A LOT of tomatoes. Shelley was offended I accused her of stealing, but that's what she did. She ultimately returned them, knowing full well she was in the wrong. I'm not sure what else she might have taken from our home, as I didn't think I needed to take an inventory of our belongings and supplies before we left. Ultimately the sit ended when our one of our dogs ate some of a marijuana plant in the backyard (she had never shown interest before and we did not know the plant- with no flowers on it- was dangerous). We do not blame Shelley for that (even though it was probably from a time the dogs were not adequately supervised in the backyard); having the plant where dogs could access was our mistake, and one that will never be made again. The part that is extremely concerning is that it took Shelley nearly 2 hours to get our dog to the emergency vet from discovering the first symptoms (she first texted me at 6:26pm that our dog was unwell and "having seizures" and did not leave for the hospital until 8:12pm). And I am certain she never called the zeewoi vet emergency line. She eventually reached out to my mother (our emergency contact while we were in Europe) and my mom told her to go to the vet ER immediately. Afterwards Shelley stated via message, "I cried, prayed & hugged her throughout the incident." So, instead of getting prompt medical care for our dog (emergency vet was clearly listed in our printed out home instructions), she prayed for her. Unhelpful, incompetent and incredibly dangerous. I'm not sure how she has previous good reviews. We were shocked by the incompetency and complete inability to understand and follow simple, clear directions- there are, sadly, many more examples I could include here. We are grateful our girls survived having her stay in our home. I would hope no one else ever has to deal with such a horror. To finish things off, disapproving of the legal marijuana plant in the backyard and probably of our rainbow flag displayed on the front of the house, Shelley texted "You need prayers. Find a Bible based church to go to and get healed. I pray for your soul."
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!
We are thoroughly pleased with and impressed by Daniel's kind, generous, and careful care of our cat and our house. He is a committed and experienced sitter who completely understands his role and responsibilities and also how to gently win the confidence and affection of a pet. He is an excellent communicator, and he kept us regularly up to date on our cat's well being--sending us texts and photos at least once/week as we requested. Our cat who is a little afraid of new people, grew fond of him, and we have returned to a very calm, contented cat. We highly recommend Daniel, and we ourselves would be thrilled to engage him again when the need arises.
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
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.
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.
Kathryn was such nice and kind sitter that both of my boyfriend and me were grateful to have, including my cats!! My cats seemed having great time with her, being around her, chilling on couch with her, or even sitting on her. I got several photos of my cats from her with whort updates. I’m thankful that she let me do facetimes with her when I missed my cats. The house was clean and tidy when we came back. I definately will ask her again to sit my cats and house when I need. Thank you Kathryn!!:)
Florence is everything you want in a cat sitter! We have two cats that need a lot of human attention. One takes multiple medications twice a day and they both are used to eating on their own schedule and having people around so it is always very important to us to find a pet sitter that will be spending a lot of time in the apartment and that doesn't mind being very attentive. We were able to meet Florence before our trip and felt 100% confident that she would take great care of our cats. Florence is comfortable giving medication, she sent us photos and updates and left our apartment spotless. We were so happy that we had her come back the following week when we went away again for a short trip! We will definitely contact Florence again whenever we travel and hope that she is available!
Ann Marie was an excellent house sitter who went above and beyond. She flew in a day early and stayed at a local hotel so we she could meet my cat and get the keys before my early flight the next morning. When I returned, she and Tryke were best friends and the house was immaculate. She even washed the sheets and towels, and remade the bed. I strongly recommend Ann Marie for any future sits!
Kristi was an exceptional house / pet sitter and we appreciate her being so flexible as were not sure how long our vacation was going to be. She was prompt, courteous, and even drove up the weekend before to meet with us. She took great care of our house and our dog snd cats loved her. I would highly recommended her.

We recently had pet stop installed and we couldn’t be happier! Jenn & Dan have been extremely professional, informative, and excellent in helping us train our 2 dogs! We have an extreme large yard (we fenced in roughly 2.1 acres and it’s such a relief to have peace of mind that our dogs are safe, happy and have freedom to run. I highly recommend their company and service! Extremely pleased!! A+++++
I LOVE my Pet Stop fence!! Jenn and Dan are professional and extremely nice! Their customer service and training techniques are fabulous 🤩 My dog is shy and sensitive and they worked with her at her comfort level. Once she was trained she hasn't breached her boundary even with a dog visiting in my neighbor's yard!! I can't say enough about Pet Stop of the Hudson Valley and I HIGHLY recommend them!! Dan and Jenn ....you guys rock❤️
I highly recommend Pet Stop of the Hudson Valley. Dan was very accommodating during installation as my property is partially wooded on a steeper hill. He was willing to install the fence so that my dogs have the most space available to them. When finished, Dan spent as long as I needed to go over and explain the ins and outs of using the fence properly including training. Jen is available to help with any adjustments, orders, and replacements in a timely manner always. Pet Stop is a wonderful family owned business that truly cares about their customers and their pets!
Jennifer and Dan are amazing! I highly recommend their PetStop fence. My pups are American Bullies and have used it for a year now without any issues. Jennifer and Dan train the dogs with you and teach you everything you need to know to ensure your dogs with be able to run around safely. Thank you both so much!
Jen and Dan are both professional and personable - not a combo you come across too often. We have a beautiful 5-foot wooden fence, which has long served to keep our dogs corralled. But a year ago we inherited Ozzie, a young Australian shepherd, when our son died. This one was not to be corralled! Ozzie immediately jumped the fence, and we immediately looked for an electric fence supplier. And it was our great good fortune to randomly call Pet Stop. Dan responded immediately, and within two days we had our wooden fence wired with the electric fence. He patiently trained us as to how to train Ozzie, and it all worked out in no time. When I recently needed new batteries for Ozzie’s collar, Jen responded to my text immediately, sent them by UPS, and they were here the next day. Great, great people who know what they’re doing. - Beth Quinn, Goshen, NY
Dan was so helpful with assisting me in changing the settings on our system. Even though we had not purchased our from Pet Stop of Hudson Valley because we are not near. He took the time to explain and make suggestions to help with our issue. I would recommend using their services. Thank you again Dan
Great experience from start to finish! Also, really appreciate that even after the fence is installed they are extremely available and helpful with any questions or issues! Another bonus with Pet Stop is that our whole family has used them (with the same 5star experience) so all our dogs can use their collars at each others yards for play dates, family bbqs etc. Lastly, WAY more affordable than a stick built fence, but feels just as safe and secure.
Life changing! We have two dogs that would run away any chance they got! Since we had the fence installed, 3 months ago, they have not left the yard. They are able to run and get their energy out so when they are in the house they are CALM and well behaved. Absolutely the best investment we have ever made! Dan & Jen are such great people, always happy to answer questions and came back multiple times to ensure our dogs were fully trained. Highly recommend the system and the people!
We used a brand name invisible fence company 15 years ago . It worked well. After recently rescuing a new pup we contacted them to train our latest addition. The trainer was AWFUL! A neighbor used Dan and Jen Gorr from Pet Stop Hudson Valley. We can’t say enough great things about them! Awesome training experience! Helped us numerous times with tips and questions. They even came quickly to repair a break in the line when we fractured the wire installing a new pool fence! Don’t use anyone else! Kind , compassionate and professional! Dan and Jen are simply the best! John and Linda Payne
We have had a wonderful experience with Jen and Dave and their Pet Stop Dog Fencing. We had the fence installed for our dog in March of 2020. The installation was prompt, installed underground enclosing about 1.5 acres, and the training was easy. Jen and Dave started us off, showed us what to do, how to use the app, and followed through with other visits and calls. Our dog loves the freedom he has in the yard and we don't need to worry about him going in the road. Jen and Dave are professional, reliable and friendly. I would recommend their services without reservation.
