Melquea
Groton, New York
Quirky couple in love with pet snuggles & belly rubs, while keeping a tidy home
Absolutely adored Melquea! Her energy and dependability are out of this world. Her and James took such good care of Oatly and our apt. It made us feel reassured that Oatly was in good hands and well loved. Thanks for everything, I hope we can meet next time and do another housesit!
Jay
Groton, New York
Experienced, Trustworthy, and Reliable Couple who will adore your beloved pets
5-star, highly recommended! Jay was an outstanding pet sitter. Great communication and meet/greet right off the bat. Pet care was fantastic - Sassy kitty adored Jay followed him everywhere and shy Swissy kitty too! Jay made an effort to win over the kitties by creating comfort spots for them, played games, tummy rubs, sent pictures and updates. I felt completely at ease to be away. Jay took care of the house, plants, birds and all responsibilities as well as cleaning everything before he left (totally unexpected). It looked like I never left. Outstanding, exceptional care by Jay! Thank you so much, Jay. I enjoyed getting to know you too.
Tammy
Groton, New York
I just want to love on your pets and take great care of your home.
Tammy is such a lovely person. She was in touch with me before, throughout, and after sitting for Peanut. My girl was well taken care of. She went on daily adventures, lots of hikes, shopping, and to the dog park. My house was cleaned and she even restocked my refrigerator. I definitely recommend Tammy and most definitely will stay in contact for future sits.
Catherine
Groton, New York
Young (at Heart) Grandparents
Catherine and Jim are the most wonderful people, who efficiently moved in and provided loving care & fun outings, for both Jax and Jorja. We went overseas and cell coverage was spotty at best, but I always got a lovely photos & updates. My fur babies were so happy to see us return but so happy with Catherine & Jim. If you get the opportunity to choose them, please do so - you won’t regret it. They are special people, who embody what zeewoi are all about.
Brittany
Groton, New York
Remote Working Animal Lover
As a first time user to the app and a generally anxious person- our first housesit was causing me quite a bit of nerves- which all faded the moment I “met” Brittany over a FaceTime call. Her friendly demeanor, experience with animals and openness immediately eased my mind. Brittany is flexible, easy to communicate with and quick to respond to messages. She was instantly friends with our sometimes grumpy elderly dog, and our young dog was thrilled to have a playmate in her little dog, Nala. Our old house has some quirks, and the pool has maintenance all of which she took on without batting an eye. We received updates and pictures over our two week trip and returned to an absolutely spotless house, complete with freshly laundered linens and bath mats. Our animals were calm, relaxed and happy. We would be thrilled to host Brittany again and anyone who has the opportunity to have her house sit for them should consider themselves hugely blessed!
Jared
Groton, New York
Your place and your pets will be in good hands...
Jared was extremely thorough and kind. He covered all topics when we first met on the phone, sent updates throughout the sit and was very open to things schedule-wise, especially when my plans got changed/delayed. He left the house cleaner than I left it and left my dog with a great sendoff, caring for her right to the end. No complaints whatsoever; I'd highly recommend him.
John
Groton, New York
Looking forward to meeting new people/pets. As a retiree my schedule is flexible
This was the second time we used John as an extended house/pet sitter, as he is a mature, responsible pet lover who takes his responsibility seriously. Once again John did a wonderful job, communicating regularly with us while sharing pictures of our cats. We'd recommend John very highly to anyone considering him for a house/pet sit.
Bill
Groton, New York
Reliable to the Point of Boring
Bill and Sandy are awesome catsitters, housewatchers, and most importantly, people. Ernie took his normal two days to decide they were ok (I think that's how long it takes him to give up on me ever returning), and after that, he was literally eating out of the palm of their hands. And once you are cat-approved, you're golden. My house was spotless when I arrived (by pre-arrangement, they left around one hour before I got back home). Everything was where it belonged, and the place was clean. Before and during the sit, their communication was on-point. They arrived when they said they would, had already done some research of the area, and let me show them around a bit. If our schedules ever line up and they apply another time to watch the little guy, I would simply confirm the dates, accept them, and write 'thanks, but this sit is taken' notes to the other applicants. If they apply for one of your sits, you would be well-served to do the same.
Alaina
Groton, New York
World traveler & experienced pet-sitter, seeing where my travels take me next!
Alaina was a great sitter and she got on with Patsy my dog straight away. Everything went smoothly and she was always available when I messaged. On my return, later than I expected due s flight delay, she managed to keep some unexpected visitors happy and cooked me a nice meal to welcome me home. I would be happy to recommend her 100%.
Margie
Groton, New York
Happy Traveler
This is Margie’s 2nd time taking care of my Kitties Frankie & Fife. She is so wonderful with their care, sends me photos to ensure they are in great hands. My house was spotless upon my return and I’m very happy with that I found Zeewoi and Margie. Thank you again, Melanie
Reviews from Dog Owners
Laura
This was our first house/pet sit with @zeewoi and we were extremely pleased! Robert showed up when he said he would, he accommodated our timelines and our dog's scheduled routine. He left our home in excellent shape and we had a very happy, relaxed pup to come home to. It was important to us that Robert meet us via video chat or in person before we left and he went above and beyond. He sent photos of our dog, Cooper, and him throughout the sit and we could tell that Cooper was very happy with Robert. He responded immediately to our texts, giving him updates about our return. Communication is so important for making sure both the sitter and the house owners are confident in one another. Robert is very outgoing and friendly and we have 100% confidence in him to look after our home and our dog when we are away. We look forward to Robert providing another future home sit.
Alexis
We had the pleasure of having Maggie (for the second time) to take care of our home and beloved dog Frida while we were away for 2 weeks. We couldn’t be happier! Neither could Frida! Our big dog is sometimes a bit stubborn and Maggie managed amazingly. We had daily photos and video, and Frida was clearly very happy, comfortable and very well looked after. We highly recommend Maggie to anyone in need of trustworthy and dedicated house sitter and animal lover
Suzie
Evan and Maria were fabulous. They are experienced sitters and it shows in their independence. They sent regular updates, but not too regular and were totally self sufficient. Most importantly both the house and dog were perfect when we returned home.
Sansanee
Brian was great and was my first sitter experience through TH to look after my two little dogs and one of them was a recent rescue I had for a month and learning new things and still training. Brian was good with communication, clear about his travel plans and we managed adjustments to him coming in early by a day. This was helpful for me to feel I can personally give orientation to my home and pets before leaving for a few days. Brian was also good with the hand-off to my next sitter when weather conditions delayed me. I came back to a tidy home and happy pets. Brian was calm with my new pup's minor furniture destruction. Thankfully I bought the warranty! I would recommend Brian to anyone and would consider him again for future sits!
Tabitha
Such a great family! George, Larissa and their crew were a fantastic bunch. Our large senior dog got an eye infection right before we left for our trip and so we had to ask them to do some extra eye care. When it was clear that it wasn’t getting better they were willing to load up Lorax and take him to a vet appointment and then apply the prescribed ointment for the next week and a half. Definitely above and beyond care that we really appreciated! Our house was left in great shape, our pets were super well cared for, and George and Larissa were great communicators. We have had many many sitters over the past 3 years but this was the first family. Nothing to worry about, they were terrific and we would happily have them back again. Thanks for taking such good care of our fury family and our home!

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.
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 🙂
Eddie & Alvin
Shannon and Travis stepped up at the last minute when an earlier sitter canceled. Shannon and Travis took care our our large brood of animals for two weeks while we were out of the country over the Christmas holiday. They kept us informed about what was happening with the animals and our home. Our dog Pepper doesn’t like most people, but loved Travis and Shannon immediately. I would not hesitate to welcome Shannon and Travis back for another sit. They are very honest and friendly people. Their dog Dime is also awesome.
Mark & Anne
Lynn and Ray were fabulous sitters, going above and beyond to take care of our home, yard, and rambunctious pup. Leaving him for three weeks was very difficult but we felt confident once we met them. They are great communicators, very professional, capable of handling any situation, and personable. Since they are fully self-contained in their van, they arrived a day early so we could show them the place, have our dog Bailey get comfortable with them (that was immediate ☺), and get to know them over dinner together. While on our trip, they sent us daily photos of Bailey, which we really appreciated, and updates on their activities. They took him hiking almost every day and kept him well exercised. Any issues that came up (e.g., our irrigation water ran dry a couple weeks in) they communicated to us and we were able to resolve them quickly. They also harvested ripe berries and squash for us and even harvested and dried tomatoes in our dryer. We spent our entire trip feeling assured that all things were being taken care of and feel ever so grateful that we found Lynn and Ray through TH. We returned from our trip to a house that was thoroughly cleaned (better than we left it ☺), with fresh sheets on the bed, and a happy dog. Five-star sitters for sure!

Dazzling Dogs Grooming
Recent Reviews:
My parents took their dogs to the groomer and was told they were black listed, due to the owner saying they were late and they were having a hard time pulling up paper work on one of their dogs. And when asked if they could use the WiFi they were told I don’t know the password. How do you not know the password to your internet? My parents left and I’m just putting it out their both my parents are disabled and really the added stress has them both not feeling well. I used to cut hair for a living and I never turn people away for being late.
So thankful for this business and these wonderful women. As an anxious pet parent, it can be difficult to trust your beloved animals in the care of others. I have been going to Dazzling Dogs regularly for many years, and Amber and her crew are not only skilled and professional - they are warm, compassionate, kind, and loving humans who I trust wholeheartedly with my dogs. I cannot recommend them more. 🤍
We have been here several times and owner always does a great job with our dogs! However, the last appointment we had I honestly forgot about and we no showed. I called the owner the next day realizing my mistake, no return call. Followed up with another call and message through Facebook and still no return call or message. We were established customers with no previous history of no shows/cancellations. 1-star for this kind of attitude toward returning customers over a one - time honest mistake. We will be going elsewhere from here on out.
I’ve been taking my two dogs here for years and they always do a great job at a fair price. I also love the photos they take and post to their Facebook page.
I’ve been a customer for years and moved last year. I miss Amber tremendously. Small town groomer is so missed especially the caring attitude. I take my dogs to a city groomer and only spoke to the groomer once. Dropping and picking up is only through receptionist. Amber always did a great job on my part Golden’s. People wanted to know who was my groomer and the kennel too. The dogs always looked great , happy and puppy looking after a day with Amber. Wish I could commute. A very satisfied customer out West.
I had gone to this groomer several times when they were located in Dryden NY. I have 4 boxers. I called today and asked if there were any appts. for today for just a shampoo. My dog is a boxer so there is no hair to cut and I take care of my dogs toenail myself. I asked how much would it be. I was told total of $30.00. When I went to pick my dog up I was told the price is $43.00. I only brought $38.00 as I was giving a tip. When I questioned why was I told one price and now being told another? The girl there said “no I told you $40 plus tax. I responded with , you only shampooed my boxer. You did not trim her hair because she has natural short hair, you did not not cut her nails or anything else and had you told me the price would be $40, I would not of booked the appointment or traveled to Groton.I would have taken my dog to the other local groomer in Dryden. The girl responded Amber was standing by me when I gave you the price . Well I had to go all the way back to Dryden to get more cash . I will never go there again .
The owner is very rude and sarcastic. This was our third visit and our last. first two visits we were told one price and got there and had to pay more. She explained to me why she charged me the extra and to avoid a confrontation I just paid it. This last visit (today) i was quoted $40-45. Got there today and it was $54 dollars becuase my dog had a "behavioral" problem. Both of the other visits she never mentioned a problem other than my dog seemed anxious. I didnt see "behavorial" problem on her price list. Seems she can charge you whatever she wants.
Owner and her assistant were very nice. Showed great care for my dog jack and she never looked better when I picked her up. Always going there.
Amazing service, would recommend 100%. Harley is definitely coming back soon.
Very friendly, affordable, gets the job done right, is always good with my dog and any other!
