Jerry and Michelle are so great! From viewing their profile and reviews, I knew our dogs would be in great hands while we were out of town. Communication was smooth and reliable throughout the whole process, from the initial zoom to when we made it back to our respective homes. During the house tour on the first day of the visit, we were very comfortable and got along great. We received photos of the pups each day, usually with funny captions and usually with the dogs under their blankets. The house was super tidy when we got back, and we appreciated the fresh sheets after our 9-hour drive home. We would not hesitate to have Jerry and Michelle come back again - hopefully with nicer weather next time!

Alice was super helpful, taking care of Xabat and our home with short notice. She is thoughtful and tidy and we are grateful!
Christy
Arlington, New York
Pet friendly people looking for adventure
Christy and Eric were absolutely amazing! They cared for our 2 dogs and cat exactly as we had hoped (and even did extra). They took them for walks and rides and administered oral medication to both dogs. Christy and Eric communicated throughout our 2 week vacation and gave us updates on the pets and the house. Christy and Eric were both very easy to talk to prior to the sit and they arrived on time as scheduled. They kept the house EXTREMELY clean and it seems as though we came home to a cleaner/tidier home than we left them. Christy and Eric were amazing pet sitters and we would definitely be more than happy to welcome them back into our home any time!
Leslie
Arlington, New York
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!

Full-time remote business professional with a love for animals and travel!
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!

Milton
Arlington, New York
Hyper-responsible grown-up who loves pets and visiting new places!
Milton was the perfect dog sitter for Aldo. We would have him back anytime! Caring, organized, great communication. Took Aldo on amazing walks and activities. He is such a happy dog!! 10/10 from us.
Juliet
Arlington, New York
Responsible, caring professional couple here to take care of your pets and home
Juliet and Laurent were great petsitters! My place was clean and the cats were happy, which is my biggest concern. Juliet was very communicative and sent pics daily along with little comments about Jack and Jamie and how they loved the area around here. I had zero worries about anything, which is always a great feeling while away. I would highly recommend them for any pet sits in the future! Thank you both!😻😻
Shelley and Mark
Arlington, New York
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."

Regina did a great job. Showed up exactly when planned. House was cleaner when I arrived home than when I left. She kept in touch to a perfect degree and the dogs were in great shape. Good sitter and would recommend
Lainie
Brian is absolutely amazing. This was his third time sitting for us and the dogs love him, he left the house immaculate, and is totally reliable and communicative. We can’t imagine a better sitter and hope he’ll come visit and stay in touch now that he has moved to the area.
Barbara
This is our second time welcoming Michele and we were so happy to have her back! Our dogs Pedro and Samantha love her and it is clear she loves them! Our house was immaculate upon our return and Michele made her famous lemon chicken recipe which we gobbled up and then we asked for the recipe. We can't say enough great things about her and hope you are lucky enough to get her as a sitter for your pets.

Angela Gandolfo and Erica Piazza came to stay at our house while we were away on vacation for two weeks. Our two dogs are a handful, but these two lovely women took such good care of them. They spoiled them even more than we do, which is perfect. We got photos every day, and when we came home our house was tidy and there were clean sheets on the bed. I couldn't have asked for better house and pet sitters than these two women. They communicated well with us, and if they had questions, they asked. It was a pleasure to work with both Angela and Erica. We had to cut our vacation short because of a death in the family. It was really stressful, but once again, Angela and Erica were flexible and understanding. It made a difficult time easier, knowing that things at home were being managed so well. I'm hoping that if we ever have to go away again for such a long time, I will be able to get these two back here again! (hint hint) Thank you, Angela and Erica!
Ruth
Cindy was great, couldn’t have asked for a better sitter experience! Communication was great both before and during the sit. Cindy was really helpful and flexible with arrival and departure arrangements. I came back to a happy dog and a well cared for house, can thoroughly recommend 🙂
Nadine
Katie & Kevin jumped in last-minute, as our sitters had to cancel. And what can I say: We couldn't have chosen better even if we would had more choices and time. Katie & Kevin were so easy to communicate with and the first meeting and handoff were so easy and smooth. We could go on vacation with peace of mind knowing our dog and 2 ponies are in the best hands. Katie & Kevin: Thank you so much for looking after our animals so well !!!

First things first, Linda is awesome! If she applies for one of your sits, you have to accept! This was our first time using zeewoi and is also the first time we have left our dog since we got him. Obviously, we were nervous at the beginning, but Linda removed all aspects of that. She is honestly one of the nicest, kindest, most polite people you will meet. From our first initial meeting, we knew that she was the sitter for us, and for Archie. The day that we left, Archie let out a little cry as we said goodbye. This was the first time he had done this (it broke our heart), but we knew he was in great hands! Throughout the week, Linda was extremely communicative. She would send us daily updates, share videos of their walks together, and send pictures of the two of them having fun. She spoiled Archie with love, attention, and a couple of new toys! When we returned, the house was in the exact same condition as we had left it, and was very clean and tidy. When Linda left, Archie ran to the door, started to cry, and sat/laid there for some time - And we think that this alone is a great reflection of the kind of person that Linda is. Linda – It was an absolute pleasure to host you in our home, thank you for everything that you did for us and Archie, and for making our first experience a positive and memorable one. Archie misses you! We hope you get the chance to do it again for us in the future.

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.

Veronica House sat for us for a month. She cared for our two Dobermans and our cat. Veronica is so enthusiastic about animals. They immediately pick up on her joy and love for them. When some bold alligators made our dogs’ normal exercise routine unsafe, she was faced with the challenging situation of keeping two Dobermans with very different temperaments exercised and entertained in the height of Florida summer with its bugs, heat, and humidity. She met this challenge by taking the dogs for individual outings. She drove our young social dog to the dog park, finding the times when he would most likely have other large playmates and drove our socially anxious dog to the quiet areas of town for walks. This took a lot more time than our normal routine, but it kept our dogs safe and happy. A lasting benefit for us is that our younger dog, once a terror in the car, now rides much more calmly and our anxious dog, once fearful of what the car ride would bring, now happily hops in. Our cat was so content and well-groomed upon my return, it was obvious that she had been getting lots of daily attention, too. Veronica communicated with us on all the happenings with our pets and property every day. I came home to happy and healthy pets and a well cared for home. We feel so fortunate to have had Veronica as a house sitter and look forward to her sitting for us again.
Paula
Lori and Joe took great care of our two dogs and tow cats while we were gone. Our plans changed and we actually asked if they could come a day before we had originally planned to leave and they said no problem! They even stayed over on the night we got home so that we could meet them which was very nice! Lori was very good with communication before the house sit and also during the time they were here. She let us they had arrived safely and then sent us a short text or pictures every day of the animals. The house looked cleaner than when we left it when we got home! Lori and Joe were great house sitters and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them!

We have been using the Pet Sitter services of Tail Waggle Pets since we moved to the Hudson Valley. Our cat Tilly loves Marina, who is kind, knowledgeable, and engaged with her customers. We never worry when we hire Marina to care for our beloved cat. She not only provides comprehensive care, she also gives us great guidance as Tilly ages based on her years of experience. We are so glad we found such a caring and reliable pet professional
We recommend Marie to everyone we know. We started using her because one of our cats had diabetes and required daily shots. She is one of the few people including family that I would trust to do this. Ever since, she has been stuck with us when we are out of town. She is extremely reliable, caring to our pets needs and our anxieties when we travel. She is loving to the fur babies and we know if something happens to them, we are in good hands. It’s nice to know they can stay home instead of having to be placed in a kennel. She is the best!
NEED A DOG SITTER? DON’T BOTHER TO CONTACT TAIL WAGGEL PETS, LLC SERVICES LOCATED IN POUGHKEEPSIE, NY. IN FACT, AVOID THIS SERVICE LIKE THE PLAGUE! EVEN THOUGH MY DOG IS CHIPPED, AND, I HAVE AUTHENTIC PAPERS SHOWING OWNERSHIP, TAIL WAGGEL PETS OWNER MARINA …, HAS KEPT MY DOG AGAINST MY WISHES SINCE NOVEMBER 2023 AND WILL NOT GIVE HER BACK TO ME. AN AGREEMENT YOU MIGHT ENTER WITH HER MIGHT READ THAT YOU CAN SEE YOUR DOG ANYTIME YOU WANT AND EVEN YOU CAN END THE AGREEMENT FOR HER TO KEEP YOUR DOG AT ANYTIME. BUT, GET READY TO RECEIVE MULTIPLE TEXT MESSAGES FILLED WITH EXCUSES, VENTING, AND COMPLAINING ABOUT HER WORK SCHEDULE AND ABOUT ALL THAT SHE HAS TO DO AND WHY SHE IS UNAVAILABLE FOR YOU TO PICK UP YOUR DOG. I HAVE HAD TO MAKE COMPLAINTS WITH THE CITY AND THE TOWN OF POUGHKEEPSIE’S POLICE DEPARTMENTS, COUNTY AND STATE POLICE DEPARTMENTS, ANIMAL CONTROL OFFICERS INCLUDING HAVING TO FILE A MISSING / STOLEN DOG REPORT. I HAVE HAD TO FILE COMPLAINTS WITH SMALL CLAIMS COURT, THE TOWN SUPERVISOR, AND THE ZONING DEPARTMENT. I HAVE REPORTED THE BUSINESS TO NYS BUSINESS BUREAU, THE NEW YORK STATE GOVERNOR’S OFFICE, THE VETERAN’S OFFICE, AND TO NEWS REPORTERS. STILL, NO DOG! I AM IN THE PROCESS OF LITIGATING. PENDING THE OUTCOME, I MIGHT NOT GET MY DOG BACK. SO, DOG OWNERS IN DUTCHESS COUNTY AND HUDSON VALLEY BEWARE - THE OWNER OF TAIL WAGGEL PETS, LLC MIGHT STEAL AND KEEP YOUR DOG JUST LIKE SHE DID MINE, WITHOUT THE PROSPECT OF YOU EVER GETTING YOUR BELOVED PET BACK.!
We use Marina for pet sitting and doggy daycare/play dates and she is wonderful! She’s great with all kinds of dogs—our dog is often shy with new people and she absolutely adores her, she cannot contain her excitement any time we see her. Marina is also super reliable and thoughtful, she makes sure to keep the right food on hand for each of her regular clients’ dogs and she makes sure to match up temperaments when she brings dogs together for walks or play time. It was hard to find the right person to look after our anxious dog and I cannot recommend Marina enough!
Highly recommend for all your pet sitting needs. I cannot say enough positive things. I have been a pet owner for 25 yrs + and finding Marie was the best thing that every happened for my pets. She became a part of the family and I never worried when I had to be away from them or that they wouldn't receive their medication on her daily visits for years. Beyond dependable, trustworthy and treats your pets and home like they are hers.
Mari is such a gifted and sweet dog care giver. She watches my two dogs and they love her. When we pull up to her house, they start getting all excited. My dogs know how good she is too. They hardly ever want to leave her! She is also excellent in my home for overnights and I trust her completely with the house care as well as the pups 🐕🐕💕👍
We recently moved away from the Hudson Valley and miss Marina and her services so much! She provided speedy communication, flexibility, and excellent care. She was also extremely patient and loving with our rather needy and anxious pup. Thank you so much, Marina! We wish we could have brought you with us!
Mari was the petsitter for my elder kitty, Snug, last year when I lived in Poughkeepsie. I wish we still lived near enough for her to be Snug's catsitter! She was great with making long visits so Snug got lots of attention while I was away, giving him medication and outdoor time on my enclosed porch, sending photos and videos every visit, and sweet touches like turning on cat TV for him. She obviously loved Snug so I felt like he was in good hands. Mari was also very understanding and supportive of last-minute travel plans (where possible) - I appreciate the flexibility she gave us!
There isn't enough room to tell you about the quality of pet care you get here. She comes to your house and/or has in-house. My Koko LOVED going to visit! Big fenced in yard!! But she also has dog training skills so you can see she is able to handle and dog and whatever "issues" they may have. A TRUE PROFESSIONAL ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Mari has been caring for my pets for several years and is great - thoroughly recommend!

I know Erica very well, she is my sister after all, but she really is amazing with people's pets. I've seen her care for birds, dogs, horses, and cats. She loves them all so much and treats them like a part of her pet family. I'm very proud of what she has accomplished, creating a fantastic business that she's very passionate about. If you want someone who goes above and beyond, Erica is the pet sitter for you.
Erica has been our GO TO Zookeeper for when we are away for a while now...we have a golden puppy, a corgi puppy and our old lady a shitzu/bichon mix as well as 2 cats...she has always taken the absolute BEST care of them when we are away, she spends time with them, plays with them, sends pics and updates for us and will even do overnights if available. We never have to worry about our "zoo" when we are on vacation while Erica is around...she is the absolute best! Wouldn't have anyone else taking care of these guys :)
Erica looked after my two cats while I was on a short trip recently. It was my first time traveling since I had moved to this area, so I had to find a new pet sitter, which is always stressful. I needn't have worried! Erica was super kind and professional and did a great job with my girls. I will definitely look to hire her again for future trips. Thanks Erica!
Thanks to Erica my husband and I now take guilt-free vacations knowing our dogs are in safe hands at home. She truly loves animals and has a great rapport with them. Plus, she’s just an all-round fun person and good business woman. Highly recommend!
BEST PET SITTER EVER! Hello All. I just wanted to take a moment to share my recommendation to anyone who is looking for a Pet Sitter. I don't normally take the time to do these things but this woman went so far above and beyond for our 18 year old Cat, Socks that I swear, she may have just saved her life. Her name is Erica ("Go-To Pet Care" on Instagram) and she was not only a "cat-whisperer" to our Sweet Kitty who had serious abandonment issues after being nearly starved to death by our last pet-sitter. So, needless to say, our family was EXTREMELY concerned about having to leave our Cat for another week this year. After literally hours of research I kept coming back to Erica with her many reviews (including from 2 Families that I know personally) and seeing that she had even taken an Animal Care Course (which considering our Cat is on 5 different Medicines and Vitamins that need to be given in different ways at different times a day since last year's debacle, is an EXTREME PLUS), we decided to Contact Erica for a Meet-And-Greet. Thank goodnes we did because from the moment she arrived, between her instant connection with our Cat and the immediate ease that I sensed with her in our home and in her abilities, I knew we had found our Cat Savior! And not only did our cat do well throughout our vacation (proof of which was texted daily including sweet pictures and our own indoor Camera monitoring our Cat's Feeding Area (Of course with our blessing from Erica prior to us hiring her), she actually GAINED WEIGHT which we have been CONSTANTLY trying to do for our Cat with the help of our Vet since we Adopted her 7 years ago as a malnourished older and wary Cat. And that, along with the fact that our home pet feeding area and litterbox area were actually CLEANER than when we left them, the fact that she spent over a half hour playing with our Cat and giving her lots of love each and attention each visit and the fact that she reached out to us about a week later to make sure Socks was still doing well, is the reason that WE WILL ALWAYS REQUEST HER FOR ANY ADDITIONAL PET SITTING NEEDS THAT WE MAY HAVE! We would even request her to take care of our home if we were taking our pet with us, as I couldn't feel more comfortable knowing our home and anyone and everything in it will be in the best possible hands. I apologize for my Reference being so "wordy" but I am just so happy to have found Erica for our needs and I would love to know that maybe I could help others who may be looking for that "special someone" that they could trust for all of their Fur-Baby(ies) needs!
Erica is a fantastic friend to our kitties! She truly loves animals and speaks their language. She's the best!
We've used Erica for many years now, whenever we're leaving for vacation. Erica has never let us down and our cats seem to like her more than us. :-)
Wow, what a great feeling knowing your pets are being properly cared for when your away. Very reliable and a great value.
