dianne
Bethel, New York
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!
Elvira
Bethel, New York
Full of Love for Fauna and Flora
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.
Sonja
Bethel, New York
Responsible sitter who loves animals and will care for yours like they’re mine.
Sonja was amazing!! She was great with Moose, left the house in pristine condition, and I recommend her for anyone who needs a sitter!
Anthony
Bethel, New York
Respectful animal and travel lovers
Mia and Anthony were amazing sitters. I could not recommend them enough. They took care of our Smittens as if he was their own. They also provided me with numerous updates a day and made me feel very at ease. Smittens takes a while to warm up to new people but I could tell he had the absolute best time with Mia and Anthony. They also left the house very clean. We will certainly have Mia and Anthony stay with Smittens again!
Jared
Bethel, New York
Traveling House Sitter Available!
Jared was our first sitter. He set such a high standard that others may have a hard time to keep up! He just sat for us for the for the second time. We have nothing negative to say about this young man. Our dog loves him and he loves her, and treats her beautifully. He is sweet, kind, creative, and responsible. He calls our home his "Artists' Retreat". He will be welcome back here any time.
Christy
Bethel, 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!
Pete
Bethel, New York
HUUUUGE Animal lover, and life enthusiast
Pete was a very reliable, animal-loving petsitter. I received regular updates about the well-being of my pets. My house was left behind clean and tidy. I hope that he can come back another time for petsitting.
Victoria
Bethel, New York
Hi! I’m Victoria, a musician that loves traveling, animals, and hiking!
Victoria and Mathew were great. Dizzy seemed well rested and relaxed when we came home which is always a great sign. The house was as clean as when we left. We would have Victoria and Mathew back again.
Shelley and Mark
Bethel, 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."

Due to a family emergency, I had to leave the country earlier than I had planned, and needed a sitter to fill in the gap between my departure and another sitter. Michele responded within minutes of my posting the sit, and then we spoke and confirmed the sit within hours. Her husband, Israel, was coming from Mexico to France, while she and her kids were to come from Sweden. When Michele’s travel plans changed, and she wouldn’t be able to come with her children, she assured me that Israel would still come to look after the house and dogs. To do this, for a stay of only five days, he flew to Paris, and then to the south of France, where he rented a car and drove the rest of the way to my place. As I was already traveling, the previous sitters filled him in on the various things that needed to be tended to: caring for two dogs, tending to hens, watering 90 young olive trees daily, as well as other things. The place is big and it took me 3-4 weeks when I first moved in to figure out where things were and what to do. Israel mastered everything upon his arrival, sent me daily updates with photos of my two VERY happy dogs. In addition to all the upkeep, he managed to hike with the dogs daily. I arrived home to find everything perfectly maintained, two fit and and Israel’s guest house cleaner than it was when he arrived. Immaculate. I cannot even express my gratitude for to both Michele and Israel for such a sacrifice and commitment to do that for me. It was a very difficult time, as I was dealing with the loss of both my son and my mother. I did not worry for one second while my dogs and home were in Israel’s hands. Thank you both, so, so much. You’re welcome back anytime, with the entire family, even just for a visit, maybe just a well-deserved holiday, with no dog- or house- sitting!
Mia
Anita was a wonderful dog sitter for Balto! They were super tentative, made sure to ask any and all questions before we went away, and they sent the best updates about Balto while we were gone. I felt so much better knowing my dog was in great hands, and I could not recommend Anita enough! Quality care, and our apartment was spotless when we returned home.
Jacqueline
If we could give 10 out of 5 stars for Candace, Brian, and Chris, we would! They were amazing house and dog sitters for Brown Dog and Scout. They were so accommodating with our timeline and had read our welcome guide to a tee! It was so reassuring being gone for 2 weeks and knowing our pups were in amazing hands. They sent us daily updates and pictures and it was clear the dogs were so well cared for! They left the house very clean and even had all of our bedding and towels washed for us when we arrived home. Would absolutely recommend them for a sit and would love to have them back again any time!
Koni
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.
Julianne
Emily and Chris were absolutely incredible house and pet sitters. They took care of our dog and two cats for 10 days and were some of the best sitters we've ever had. They took amazing care of all three animals -- giving medicine to our aging dog and managing to befriend our very shy cats on day one. We received adorable picture and video updates each day and it was clear that the pets loved spending time with them. Additionally they left the house in pristine shape and were incredibly diligent in all aspects -- bringing in packages, taking out the trash and recycling, etc. I can't recommend them highly enough!
Monika
Joe arrived some days before I left, so I could show him some nice places in Switzerland and he had enough of time to learn all about the dogs and how to handle them. He is an amazing nice and an animal/natur loving person who took care of my dog with incredible affection when I was in vacation. I could really enjoy it, because I knew, everything is ok at home. He sent me picutres and I could see, how much fun they have together. He cooked for the dogs, mad a lot of nice hikes with them and huged them, when they need it - so he even got the trust from Artu (as a man really not easy). And not only that, he made woodruff punch for me and sowed my tomatoes and spoiled them with melt water. And he helped also the women which looked after the horses and helped her to going walk with them. Generelly he is super friendly, so everyone in the village likes him. He is considerate of your belongings and has handed the house back neatly. He is just the best. I'm so gratuful he was here. So, if you have a chance to get him as a sitter, take it. Your animals will be grateful to you and have a good time while you are on vacation. Joe, you're not just a dog sitter for me. You were so familiar to me from the first moment. We had a lot of fun and we already miss you sooooo much. I'm really looking forward to see you again in some monthes.

Joanna and David were absolutely perfect!!!! This was my first actual time using a sitter and they went above and beyond what I expected. I have a 1 year old Bully Breed that I adopted 6 weeks ago, so if you know dogs you know what they had to deal with :)) They sent pics daily and kept me updated. We were not able to meet before I left but they were nice enough to stay to meet me when I returned. My house was cleaner than when I left, all bedding and towels washed. Charley, my dog, was happy to see me for a minute when I got home but immediately went back to play with David, so I am thinking she had a blast while I was gone. I am totally sold with this process after having Joanna and David here. If you have the chance to book them for your trip, you will not be sorry. I am hoping to use them again when they return to Florida.
Jane
Piper was a wonderful sitter and I would definitely have her come again. My dog .Winston loved her and was very happy while I was gone. When I returned home everything was orderly and clean, she changed her bed and washed all the towels. I totallly recommend Piper to sit at your home.
Colleen
I was fortunate to have Lisa as a sitter for my active, 7-year old lab mix (Ozzy) for a week in Bend. Lisa took the time to meet us via Facetime and in person before her stay. It was apparent she wanted to be well-prepared and aware of any special doggie needs he may have, or any help I needed with watering plants or bringing in mail. She took great care of Ozzy while I was away and sent me regular updates and photos of their outdoor adventures. I returned home to a very happy dog and a house exactly as I had left it. I'd welcome Lisa back anytime!
Sidney & Larry
Oh my Goodness! Where to begin. Linda was the perfect house sitter for us and the perfect pet sitter for Olivia! She is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. When we returned from out two week vacation all our plants were alive, the garden was alive, the birds and fish had been fed regularly, and the dog was alive and happy! What more can you ask for, right? Well with Linda you get all that and more. Updates as you request - even videos of her morning walks with Olivia. The house as spotless as we left it, maybe even better! Even the porches were clean! Linda is a genuine treasure and our recommendation would be 10 stars if there were that many!!

Nigel was conscientious, kind, and professional during his time caring for our cat. He made a preparatory visit to learn about our cat's habits & needs, then while we were out of town, he sent daily photo updates and a short journal about how they spent their time togther. It was clear from his approach that he not only has a great way with animals, but that he tries to understand them as the individuals that they are within our families. When we got home from our trip, our cat was well-adjusted and calm. I feel very safe having left my cat with him and I will gladly do so again.
I’ve been using Kiki and Nigel as my cat sitter since I moved up 2 years ago. I have a very emotional cat that’s at times difficult and they seem to bring the best out of her. I get photo updates along with a nice blurb to let me know how things are going. Booking is done through an app which makes things a breeze.
We moved to Brooklyn in May and had been looking for a cat sitter since then. It wasn’t so urgent since we were home all day and didn’t have any travel plans. We looked at the pet sitting services available and after careful consideration and research, decided on Dogzilla and Cat Cong. Firstly, the website is really cute, clever and professional. Secondly, Nigel is really good with our cats. He sends out a detailed report after every visit with amazing pictures of our kitties. I think our kitties probably have a better time with him than with us. He kept them to their routine, gave them plenty of playtime and cuddles. He watched them for 6 days and I’m more than happy to have him care for them for much longer. Highly recommend - so glad we found someone we can trust with our cats here in the neighborhood!
Nigel and Kiki are terrific with my dog Maple. They take Maple on great walks and they took care of her while I was on vacation overseas. They are fabulous photographers and send daily pictures and reports. We truly have a gem available in Sullivan County for our beloved animals. The are professional and Maple simply adores them!
Nigel is the best! Our pup strudel loves him, and he takes great care of her. He’s very attune with her little dog needs and always makes sure she gets what she needs. He even put a little raincoat on her when it was raining! Can’t recommend him enough.
Not really sure where to start.. We found Nigel online over a year ago and it was a true blessing. He walked our two dogs, one loves people and the other is terrified. She was a baby at the time and needed a lot of extra encouragement. Nigel was beyond amazing with her. Helping us train her and calm her. He worked so hard and it really helped her and us. He was great with juggling both a large dog and a medium with two very different needs. He sent us a photo everyday and a great overview of there walks (He takes amazing pictures). He is very trust worthy and was great even when one of our pups hurt his foot. He sat with them inside and checked in daily until his foot got better. The dogs love Nigel and we felt very safe with him and still do! He really is one of the best walkers out there.
Nigel exemplifies all you would want your dog walker/sitter to be! He is incredibly kind with animals and humans alike and meticulously follows all instructions. He’s definitely a dog whisperer! We have 2 rescue dogs, one who is particularly anxious. We gave him a laundry list of what sets her off and Nigel has worked wonders with her- she's become so much better on her walks and we have Nigel to thank. He always sends updates along with the best picture of our pups that really are a delight. Nigel has also pet sat for us and it's well worth every penny. He provided updates throughout the day and was even nice enough to leave our home spotless. We recommend Nigel without a doubt!
Nigel is amazing! He is very professional, reliable, and the best with dealing with our 50 lb. German Shepard/Boarder Collie Mix. Our puppy is very hyper and gets excited easily and Nigel is amazing with him. Since Nigel has been walking our dog we have seen major improvements with his mood and it has helped relieve his anxiety who is a rescue. Nigel takes great care of our dog, provides him with a rain coat if needed, fresh water, and treats, as well as making sure that on hot walks he has water for him as well. Our lives are so much better with Nigel walking Dewd and that we do not have to worry about him while we are at work. Nigel also lets us know when he is picking him up as well as provides us with photos from their walks and an update on how it went. I cannot recommend Nigel and his services enough. If you are looking for someone you can trust with your pet Nigel is that person, we are so happy we found him.
Nigel is a Godsend! He is so amazing with our Princess Frankie. He lets us know when he’s picking her up, he takes photos of her on their walks, he lets us know how their walk went. I trust Nigel with Frankie and around my other dogs as well. He’s very reliable, trustworthy and responsible. I would recommend him to everyone!!
Nigel is the absolute greatest - he went above and beyond for us! I had to move from NYC to Hawaii without my cats, because the quarantine process for getting kitties to Hawaii takes months. Nigel took my cats to the vet for me several times during this process when my roommate could not! He is an amazing person and a great cat sitter who will treat your babies as his own! Definitely hire him!

Wonderful place!!! Had our 8 month old black lab stay here for a week while we were on vacation. It was his first time being away from us and us away from him. They accommodated all of our/his needs and I was kept up to date on how things were going. He seemed to have a great time! Will be using them again in the future and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a safe, accommodating, and fun place to board their fur baby!
My dog always has a great time when she stays here. She is so excited to get out of the car upon arrival. They have a Facebook page where they post pictures of the dog groups every Saturday. Great experience the times I've had to leave my dog.
Very impressive facility. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Their love for animals is clear. Will certainly be using Rutgers Creek again for my fur baby.
This is a wonderful place to trust leaving your pets with. They watched our two Dalmatians last year and we will use them forever going forward. My dogs made friends with other dogs. Loved playing outside with others. They are attentive and care for them as they were their own. Anytime I called for an update they always answer and give me a detailed description. The owner is wonderful and the staff is as well. Highly recommend!!
I have left my dogs here several times and have had great experiences. Your dog is safe, the owners are real dog people, and I only felt the need to reach out once to ask if everyone was behaving themselves. If you follow them on Facebook, you might see your pup featured during their playtime. Kennels can be a super stressful place for dogs, but my nervous shepherd always comes home happy and relaxed. Always recommend.
My dog loved her time here so much she didn’t even get in the truck right away when I picked her up. She was hoping to give me a tour of her fantastic weekend but I finally got her to hop in. There was no shadow behavior after either. We don’t live in NY but I would highly recommend anyone going to LegoLand that needs wants to give their dog a vacation too this resort is it! Traveling with pets can be so hard but we felt really great about our Dog being so well looked after. Everyone is so friendly and accommodating.
First time leaving our 1 year old Golden Doodle. She was very happy and so were we. I will definitely will use them again.
Very clean and friendly staff- can't take that away from them. But they are not very up front about a couple things: 1) Pricing. They charge "per day." But really they mean "per date." My definition of a day is 24 hours. I dropped my two Great Danes off at 5 PM and picked up less than 24 hours later. I was charged $150. I asked if it was ever possible to be charged for a single day at all- they responded that only for "Doggie Day Care" is it possible for a dog to secure a one-day price. So, hypothetically speaking, if you dropped your dog off at 11:59 PM and picked up at 12:01 AM, they would call that "2 days." Called two other kennels before writing this review to make sure that wasn't industry standard. They said it was ridiculous. 2) I asked if they provided bedding, and they said they did. They knew I was boarding 2 Great Danes together in one kennel. They provided one raised bed for a medium sized dog. Would've been simple for me to provide my own had they just told me that. 3) They are open for two 2-hour windows per day, so plan carefully for pickup and drop off. I'm hoping that means "open-to-public" and they attend to the dogs more frequently then that, but I wouldn't put any bets down. Also, they told me a cash price over the phone that was not offered to me in person when I picked up. Not that I had the right amount on me anyway. I assumed, like a normal person would assume, that less than 24 hours fell in the "one day" pricing range. It's a shame. This kennel is near my house and I was looking forward to using them in the future. Nope.
Great staff great facilities always very accommodating to my schedule and dogs needs and just all round good people and aditude. I have always said dogs are a true tell of someone's character, my dog loves these people. I usually have them do my dogs nails while he is there (somthing that he does not welcome) and he still gets upset when i go to put him in the car to leave he truly enjoys his time at rutgers.
Been using Rutgers Creek for several years now. Great staff, great facility and location. My dogs love their time there and the staff treats them like they are family.
