This was the third year in a row James watched our pets. For the third year in a row, we came home to happy and cared for pets and a house that was left in great shape. We trust James; and it is a wonderful feeling. We have old pets. Our little dog is over 15 years old and has some special needs. James handles her like a loving pro. James is a go to person.

While it's nice to have someone at the house while the owners are away, the most important thing for pet owners is someone to care for their pets. If I could give Elvira 10 stars for loving my dog and giving her special attention, I would! Elvira also texted me with daily photos and comments about the "walkies" my dog enjoyed. Plus, Elvira took on the additional task of conveying my dog to the groomer, and afterwards dosing her with flea/tick medication and a heartworm pill. Elvira and my dog look forward to seeing each other again, probably next spring when Elvira thinks she'll be back in the area.

Special Ed. Teacher Available for Pet-Sitting
Ranai was a fantastic house sitter and cat whisper. Highly recommend. We have two cats with very different personalities and both of them warmed up to Ranai quickly and ease fully. She was great about sending lots of pictures, videos and updates on both of them, all of which made us smile while we were away. In addition to her love and skill with animals, Ranai was extremely communicative, easy to coordinate with and left the house tidy and in great care. We would welcome her back anytime that she's back in the Bay!

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!

Ryan was an excellent fit for us. He was easy going, friendly, organised and we returned home to a clean house, chilled and happy pets. He communicated well, asked all the right questions and was very thorough. I would definitely recommend Ryan and would have him back any day!

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."

Loving companion for your dog
Once again Elissa was a great sitter for Meg Ryan and an excellent caretaker of my apartment while I was away. I really enjoy having her and hope to continue connecting with her again on future dates!
I was very happy with the love and affection that was very apparent when Travis and Shannon met the pups. I received one picture on my trip and was happy to see Shannon cuddled under a doggie pile. Nothing like seeing your dogs being loved by others as their own. Every thing was in its place when I return which was nice. I also received a welcome home gift handmade by them which was very lovely and made my day. I highly recommend them as trustworthy and reliable pet sitters to anyone.
Once again Dede was the most perfect pup and house sitter you could ever hope to have the pleasure of using. She leaves our home cleaner than we left it and our pups so happy that they continue to search for her after she leaves. Dede handled an emergency situation with a false CO2 alarm which resulted in a visit from the fire department perfectly and we were so grateful! I feel completely comfortable with her in our home and know she is giving our 2 dogs the very best care. Thank you Dede - you truly are the best!
Susan and Jim were exceptional pet sitters for our 2 pups and cat! From the start they were communicative and asked thoughtful clarifying questions that made us feel comfortable immediately. We spent time together the evening before we left for vacation and it was clear that they had read our welcome doc and instructions. They referenced animal behaviors that were noted and confirmed details. They arrived about an hour before we left and gave us all plenty of time to feel comfortable with being in our home. Throughout our vacation, Susan sent photos and updates of our critters and let us know how they were spending their time together. Susan was quick to respond to my messages via WhatsApp any time I reached out. Susan and Jim stayed at our house until we landed at the airport and let them know we were safely on the ground. They fed and walked the dogs and let us know they would be gone before we got home. It was great knowing that had our flight been delayed, they would have stayed at the house until we were safe driving distance away. We came home to a sparkling clean home, a thriving and happy garden, and well cared for animals! Susan and Jim left us detailed notes of their stay and even gave us lots of instructions on how to keep our garden happy! What a treat! All our linens were washed and replaced and the house was immaculate. Thank you Susan and Jim for choosing our home and furry family to spend your time with! You were the best first experience we could have asked for and would love to have you back again!
Jerry gets a five star in every area! We actually connected on the phone before he ever arrived but once he got here, it was like we known each other forever! He was very thorough and how he was going to take care of the dogs and the house!! very friendly with the dogs, and they immediately connected with him!! dogs know when they are💖💖 he arrived early so he could become familiar with Circus and tinker and the house and we had a meal together and quickly became best friends! He sent pictures while we were away and updates. Every day. He was gone by the time we came back, but it honestly looked like he had never been in the house. Everything was perfect just like we left it.❗️❗️❗️ so if you’re looking for a Pet Sitter that is reliable in every way, and you know for sure is going to take good care of your pets this man is the one you want to have come to your home❗️❗️ you won’t be disappointed and I can promise you that💖🎉
Robyn was a great pet sitter and house sitter. She went way over and beyond my expectations!!!! She sent a photo of her and my dogs and they were looking at her like they were in love. And my cats are not very friendly, but she won them over also. I would highly recommend Robyn as a pet sitter and house sitter. She is a very sweet lady. I would love to have her watch my babies again and again.
We loved Misty!!!! She was absolutely the most perfect baby sitter for our dog and an amazing short term tenant at our house. Not only did she keep the house clean but she even washed everything she used before we got home. We even got a couple gifts from her. She is such a sweet human, kept in contact with us while we were gone and sent videos of the hikes and walks they went on. I would 100% ask her to stay at our house again
Stephanie was fantastic! Very organized and left our house sparkling clean. She also sent daily pictures/messages which we loved receiving. She took great care of our dog and our house. One of the best sitters we’ve had!
The two-leggeds and four-legged members of this household give Tess a 5-star rating! We think she's one of the best sitters you will find - highly communicative, friendly, competent, reliable, and great with pets. Tess was also flexible about start and end dates to accomodate possible winter weather complications. For this sit, Tess was able to bring along her mom, Cathy. Tess introduced me to Cathy during one of our Skype conversations prior to the sit. It was a bonus to have her here with Tess. Their travel to Marquette was complicated by weather. A fierce winter storm swept across Michigan just before the sit. It took Tess and Cathy two days to drive here but they arrived, as promised, in time for us to fly out early the next morning. We even had time for a lovely dinner together and to introduce them to the dogs and house. We left the next day and never had a moment's worry while Tess and Cathy were caring for our pets and home. Tess sent us regular updates and photos. The dogs immediately accepted them as great new additions to their pack of friends - even our cranky, old chihuahua, Nike! We returned to happy pets and a spotlessly clean home. We plan to invite Tess (and Cathy if available) to return for future sits. Thank you, Tess and Cathy!
Stephanie, Brian and baby Martin took fabulous care of our home and pets for two weeks. From the outset, communication was quick, smooth and friendly and it was clear that both Stephanie and Brian are reliable, professional and warm sitters who take all the various elements of a sit seriously. They kept us up to date with photos and messages, dealt proactively and competently with any unexpected issues that popped up, and most importantly showered our dogs and gerbils with attention and care throughout the time we were away. We returned to a spotlessly clean home (with thoughtful touches of fresh milk, bacon and bread waiting for us) and happy, settled pets. In short, we would recommend Stephanie and Brian to anyone looking for reliable, attentive and proactive sitters for their pets and home. We would be delighted to welcome them back for another sit, should they ever find themselves in the area again.
Angela was fantastic. She came a day early to meet us and our dog Bella and to get the lay of the land and we so enjoyed meeting her and getting to know her! She took care of our home and Bella with the utmost care and attention. She was great to communicate with throughout the sit and we felt confidant being away knowing our dog and home were in such good hands! We returned to a clean house and she even prepared dinner for us! It was clear that Bella was happy, well taken care of and very fond of her!! We would definitely recommend Angela. She was a reliable sitter and a delightful person all around!!

Sarah took great care of my two cats while I was out of town. I will definitely hire her again in the future. I love that she sent a daily update with photos!
Sarah is just amazing! She is responsive and responsible. We have a house full of pets, some with special needs and require meds. Our pets love her, and have been well taken care of each time we've been away. Recommend 100%!
My dogs love Sarah! Sarah has stayed at our house several times to take care of my two active dogs, sometimes for as long as a week. Sarah is great about being in touch every day, asking any questions she has, and sharing photos and updates while we are gone. She has great attention to detail and follows my overly-detailed instructions exactly. Most importantly, I know she gives my dogs plenty of attention and love, and they are very happy when we get home!
Sarah cared for our 6 cats over the thanksgiving holiday. Two of them needed meds and she treated them with care and compassion. She sent us photos and kept us updated while we were gone. Sarah is a true animal lover and handled our kitties as if they were her own. We would definitely use her services again.
Sarah was absolutely professional, dependable, and so very caring with our pets! She treated our family pets just as we would, and they were very well taken care of while we were away. It was a total pleasure working with Sarah and we will definitely be using her services again.
Sarah was extremely accomodating and did a great job of taking care of our dog, Mikey, during our wedding.We could tell right away that he was in good hands. When it started raining she immediately took Mikey home with her, helped calm his nerves, and brought him back when the weather let up. We highly recommend Sarah and her services!
Sarah from sensational pet care is amazing! She took such great care of our two pups while we were away. We got regular updates on how they were doing. Very responsive, reliable, and professional! We will be using this service regularly and our pups are so happy.
Sarah is friendly, and took great care of our 4 cats. Our original pet sitter closed due to COVID, so we used Sarah for the first time. Some pet sitters "phone it in" and do the bare minimum, but Sarah really cares about the animals. She sent us updates after each visit and sometimes pictures too. She included small activities to make the house look lived in, like getting the mail and putting the trash bins out. During this challenging time of COVID, Sarah took extra steps to ensure everyone's safety, like wearing a mask in our home and sanitizing touchpoints on her last visit. I would recommend Sensational Pet Care to anyone who needs pet sitting services at a reasonable cost.
Sarah from Sensational Pet Care is fantastic! She's kind and thoughtful and is great with our two cats who no longer get along, and are in separate quarters. Sarah developed a calm and trusting relationship with my girls very quickly. She not only cares for our pets but, cares for our home and plants too! We always choose Sensational Pet Care when we go away!
I highly recommend Sensational Pet Care. I have used Sarah’s pet care services on many occasions to care for my two cats and two guinea pigs. The care and attention she gives is exceptional. Having Sensational Pet Care by Sarah provides me with total peace of mind when I’m away. In addition to pet care she also takes care of other details like mail, lights etc. Sensational Pet Care by Sarah is 100% reliable, dependable and trustworthy.
This is an amazing place for my dog to go socialize and burn some energy! As a puppy, she was attacked on a walk by a larger dog and we were worried it would take a lot of time and patience for her to adjust to being with other dogs in a productive setting. The team at Dizzy’s was so amazing, giving us tips on how to work on the issue outside of day care, and being conscientious of the situation while my dog was there. As a puppy, and a working breed, she has boundless energy, and we all feel better after a day of her getting to run around with other dogs. Since starting care she has become better at listening to commands and knowing when it is play time and when it is work time. The price is more than fair for the value we’ve received!!
Dizzy's is great! The place has been a godsend for my family's very energetic 1 year old pup. Our doggie has fallen in love with the staff, is desperate to get out to the door to them every morning and comes home exhausted every night. I could not recommend Dizzy's more highly!
My dog Waffles started at Dizzy's at 6 months.I always felt although he was a little guy he was so happy going to see all his friends! He would go in bark to let everyone know he was there! The staff is caring and wonderful! This is a clean well led daycare! Waffles misses you all!
Our 2 year old lab mix pup, Biscuit, attends a weekly play group at Dizzys and we have also used the pet care staff for at home pet care. The setting for the day care is clean with plenty of room inside and out for loads of exercise. We can check in on our pup during her playgroup with pictures posted on their FB page each day. Biscuit is obviously happy to greet the staff when we arrive and usually falls asleep on the way home. There are celebrations, holidays and parties offered with doggie games and activities provided. When the yard is wet Biscuit gets cleaned up before pick up and now a full pet spa service is offered on site by a well known pet groomer. My communication with the owner and staff at Dizzys Doggie Daycare is professional in person and always responded to in a timely manner via email. The service is excellent, the staff are flexible for pick up and drop off within in their hours of operation and the payment packages are a very good value. We are happy to have Dizzys Doggie Daycare in our area!
A very excellent place where dogs are able to release their energy during the day and enjoy their time there. Any pet parent should feel at ease knowing their furry friend has a safe place to play during the day. The owner is very attentive and caring. If you are looking for a doggie daycare this is the place to go!
Been bringing my dog there weekly for over three years. Staff is amazing and prices are great. They take great pride in caring for my Charlie and he is always so so excited to go there, I can’t open the door fast enough when I drop him off. They even do events! Can’t say enough good things about them!
We’ve been with Dizzy Pets since the day we brought Petey home from the shelter over 4 years ago! We’ve used the daycare, daily walks and dog sitting services when we go on vacation. We’ve had nothing but great experiences with Jayme and her dedicated team. Petey has a blast every week at daycare.
Jayme, Josh and numerous members of their qualified staff have been coming to our house for years to exercise our dogs when we're not around. I'm sure we are among Jayme and Josh's most demanding clients. Through no fault of our own we are a pain in the rear end. We have three dogs that all have their individual personalities and requirements. We live out in the middle of nowhere on the way to nothing. We need Jayme and Josh's help often, but not on a regular schedule. Dizzy's service really has been top notch. There is the potential for LOTS to go wrong in this business and thanks to Jayme and Josh's positive attitude, professional practices, ambition to make their business a success and overall kind, concerned and conscientious energy we are VERY satisfied customers and will gladly recommend them to anyone.
Love Dizzy's Doggie Day Care. The dogs are always tired when they come home which is always a good sign that they had fun. Keep up the good work
Great place to bring your pups! Amazing staff. Your pup will leave exhausted yet happy from a day full of play, enrichment and socialization.
My husband and I live in NYC and this was our first time boarding our dog after a cross country move. Mark & Kate did an amazing job answering our questions, sending us photos and updates, and really just loving on our golden retriever, Penny. We had no issues with pick up or drop off in the city and that was SO convenient for us. Our dog LOVED her time in the Hudson Valley-she was on her own vacation and living her best life. We knew that Penny was safe, healthy, and having the best time with her new friends. I would absolutely recommend Stonehouse Dog Sitting to anyone-we will be using them again in the future.
Dean absolutely thrived in the care of Stonehouse. Their personalized attention and daily adventures made Dean feel right at home. We appreciated the genuine love they showed our furry friend, and knowing that Dean spent his time with the pack in a cozy home environment was truly reassuring. A big thank you to this wonderful couple, Mark & Kate for taking such excellent care of Dean – we'll undoubtedly trust them with his care in the future!
We stumbled upon Stone House and are so glad we did! Living in NYC, we wanted to find the best option for our happy, active 2-year old dog and this place is it! Kate and Mark are the kindest and even provide adorable updates (with photos!) on the different adventures of the dogs upstate. It’s a vacation home away from home for our dog, and we’re so excited for him to go back and see all his friends again!! He came home a happy and loved dog! Thank you to Kate and Marc!!
My pup Dolly had an excellent time at Stone House! Their rates are on par with some dog sitters in Manhattan, but the dogs get a much richer experience at Stone House—more of a vacation. There are many doggie camps in the NYC suburbs, but most are large operations where the dogs stay in kennels. Mark and Kate are amazing and treat the dogs as their own. Their home is a storybook perfect getaway—so cozy and surrounded by nature. In every picture update they sent of Dolly, she had a huge grin on her face. She’ll definitely be back!
Our experience with the Stonehouse team (Kate and Mark) couldn’t have gone better. We had been looking for a safe / fun place for our dog to stay while away for 9-days and we’re so grateful Stonehouse had availability. Kate and Mark make sure your dog feels at home and will be a good fit with the other dogs staying on the property for the duration of your dog’s stay. They send updates, photos and guarantee plenty of activity and love. Thanks so much to Stonehouse - we’ll absolutely be back for all future dog sitting needs!
We were looking to board our dog Georgie for a few weeks, and we were having trouble finding the perfect, comfortable place for him. I stumbled upon Stonehouse through a random internet search. We went for a meet and greet and immediately knew we found the perfect place. Georgie was comfortable from the second he stepped into Mark and Kate's home. They took such good care of him - taking him on walks, fabulous hikes, and adventures - we were afraid he wouldn't want to come back home! This was Georgie's first stay with Mark and Kate, and it certainly won't be his last. Thank you both so much for treating Georgie like your own.
Our Bernese Mountain Dog Hera stayed over Christmas at Stonehouse and could not have spent a better time anywhere else! Mark and Kate are wonderful people who truly enjoy their time with the dogs they host and have so many lovely stories to share. The pick-up in Brooklyn was great and we got a text message after they arrived safely at the Stonehouse. We received regular updates over the 2 weeks Hera stayed there and she even got to see some mountains to play in the snow (very important for a Swiss Mountain Dog ;)). We cam recommend the Stonehouse without any hesitation and could not think of a better place for Hera if we are out of town.
It is wonderful to know our dog is so well loved and looked after when we are out of town. He loves his daily hikes and playing with the other dogs. Mark and Kate are attentive and keep us updated with pictures and texts throughout our dogs stay.
Stonehouse, Kate, and Mark are amazing! They took care of our dog, Finley, while we were out of the country for a week. We are first time dog parents so you can imagine how nervous we were about leaving him behind. He had such an amazing time at their beautiful property. Mark was always sending us updates and great pics while we were away. They made it super easy on us by driving down to NYC to pick him up. Such a huge relief knowing he was in great hands! We are excited for our next trip and know Finley is as well because he’ll get to be with Mark and Kate!
Mark and Kate took absolutely incredible care of our sweet mini schnauzer. We had never left her for that length of time and were anxious as to how she would do. She had a blast and Mark was so sweet to send us frequent updates and near professional photos of her playing with the other pups. We can’t wait to go on our next trip knowing she gets a vacation with Mark and Kate as well.
