dianne
Halcott Center, 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!

Experienced Attorney, Writer, Traveler, Coach and Dancer.
This is the second time Karen has sat for us and hopefully she will be sitting for us again this August.
Julianne
Halcott Center, New York
Caring, attentive and responsible sitter for your fur-family
Faultless; Julie communicated excellently with us, took care of our two rescue dogs brilliantly, kept the house clean and tidy, and caused us absolutely zero concern our whole trip!
Sam
Halcott Center, New York
Sam and Miguel. Mature experienced, and responsible, loving pet caretakers.
Sam and Miguel are outstanding house and pet sitters! They took great care of my dog, including doing a consult with my vet when she seemed a little sick. I came home to a house and yard that were in better shape than when I left it! I would highly recommend Sam and Miguel. They are kind, compassionate and take their responsibilities to your pet and your home very seriously. I'm hoping to get them back for another sit in the future!
Linda
Halcott Center, New York
Healthy Pets = Healthy Humans
As always, Linda is a reliable and generous house/cat sitter. Highly recommend her.
Christy
Halcott Center, 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
Halcott Center, 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.
Amy
Halcott Center, New York
Hello!
We had the delight of hosting Amy and her Mom. They were very clean and responsible. They followed all of our instructions aside from sending daily updates. Due to our pets being older, we tend to worry a bit and found ourselves messaging to check on them rather than receiving updates. If you would like updates often, make sure to communicate that early on. I would recommend Amy for any sits you have available.
Sunil
Halcott Center, New York
Responsible & non-flakey. Neat and tidy. Experienced homeowner.
Sunil is an excellent house-sitter. Great communication before and during the sit, with many fun photos. Sunil took great care of our cats, houseplants and home. It is people like Sunil that makes zeewoi a success. We hope he will be available to return to our home in the future. Many thanks to Sunil.
Shelley and Mark
Halcott Center, 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."

Eliza was my first sitter after signing up on zeewoi. I’m Soooo happy to have had her in my home watching over my dogs. They were very well taken care of and she did everything I asked her to do with the dogs meals and medication. Plus she took excellent care of my home and plants. If you are lucky enough to get Eliza to stay at your home, you will be so glad it was she who took care of things! Very happy 😃

Natalie took great care of it dog and cats! She was clean, organized, conscientious, and communicative. Our dog had a small cut on his foot and Natalie took great care to help him heal. I would highly recommend Natalie as a house sitter and pet sitter!
Christina
Maryna was an excellent pet sitter and houseguest! Communicating with her was easy, and she always responded to my messages quickly. She was also incredibly self-sufficient! Moreover, Maryna graciously agreed to check on my neighbor's cat for a couple of days as well. My dog bonded with her quickly and was happy and healthy when I returned. The house was also spotless. I would happily have Maryna sit for me again!
David
Diane and Les were excellent pet and house sitters. Jet was a very happy dog when we returned and Diane had shared many photos of their days together while we were away on holiday. The house was very clean and tidy when we returned and some milk , bread and sweet treats had been left for us, which were very welcome after our 2 long flights home. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Diane and Les as sitters for your home and pets, everything was done to a high standard and Jet was happy in his usual environment , which is all we wished for. Many thanks to you both.

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!

We initially accepted Deirdre and Jason for a long stay to look after our dogs. We were very happy they accepted. A few weeks later we realized we needed another sitter for another trip we had planned. So, we posted more dates on zeewoi. To our happy surprise, Deirdre and Jason reached out to us saying they could also look after our dogs and home with the new dates we posted. This made our life much easier and we were very confident to have Deirdre and Jason stay longer with us and care for our dogs. We were definitely right!! D&J have countless experiences on zeewoi with very good reviews from all of their previous sits. They are very experienced with all aspects of a house/pet sitting. D&J are very self-sufficient, have the background knowledge and education of pet care, and most importantly a genuine love for all animals. This is most important for my wife and I. We knew from the first meeting with our pups they loved animals. Communication was excellent. The process before and during our sit was stress-free for us. We were given daily updates on our dogs including photos and videos. Any concerns D&J had were vocalized to us. D&J are also problem solvers and know how to react many challenging situations. Our routine for our pets was followed immaculately and all dogs were very happy and connected with them. Even our female dog Kinki grew close so quickly with D&J which is very rare. We had ZERO issues while we were gone and we were able to really enjoy our trip while we were away. The dogs definitely love being around D&J. Homecare: We are very pleased with the condition of our home when we returned. It was clean, free of clutter, and exactly how we had left it for them, if not even better! D&J even mowed our grass and took care of our yard! Our yard is not a small garden. It is very big and takes hours to mow. So we were very surprised and excited to know they did that for us even though it's not expected of our sitters!! They definitely went above and beyond what is expected. Our dogs are so very important to us. When we know we can trust our sitters it's the best feeling in the world. We definitely trust Deirdre and Jason with our most prized possessions and we look forward to the next sit with them in a few days!!! We can't thank them enough for giving our dogs the love and attention they deserve. We highly recommend Deirdre and Jason for your future sittings and you can always feel free to contact Izabela and I about D&J for additional verification from us. They are fantastic! Thanks so much Deirdre and Jason! -Allen and Izabela

Jim sat for my extremely shy rescue pup and new kitten for two weeks -- my pup struggles with new people, and is very fearful of men in particular. And yet, Jim was more successful with her than any sitter I've ever had: I can't recommend him highly enough. He has wonderful patience, a calm energy, and is a great communicator. He consistently updated me with photos and videos of my sweet girls enjoying the world with him, taking my dog on hikes and adventures to her favorite streams. He went above and beyond both for her (in meeting her needs and taking the time to get to know her personality), and also in caring for my home. I returned to such a cozy environment, a repaired wood stove, an organized wood pile and an at-peace dog and cat. Choosing Jim as a sitter is ensuring that your pets and home are getting the best of care, and his actions exemplify his kindness, generosity and thought taken in consideration of others. I hope to have him return many times in the future; the experience was a privilege both for myself and my pets.
Susanne
Dede (Duha) is definitely one of our top house/pet sitters so far! The moment we met I knew she was the perfect fit for us. She is the most loving, caring and responsible sitter one could wish for! She send us regular updates of her daily adventures with Kenzie and Ginger and we could not have felt more at ease. I know for sure that our dog fell deeply in love with her and misses her much. We hope to invite Dede back into our home soon! Five stars all the way!!
Anne
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!

Ranji was a wonderful pet sitter for my dog Zoe and was very easy to communicate with and kept me informed. She took wonderful care of our condo and wouldn’t hesitate to have her in my new home in NJ if she wants to check out a new area.

Dawn's Dog Boarding & Rondout Valley Pet Care

Recent Reviews:
Dawn’s Dog Boarding is an excellent choice for giving your dogs a safe and structured environment when you are away. Dawn is a clear communicator and what really impressed us is the care and attention to detail in the information she collects about the specific preferences your dog has do she can give them an exceptional and thoughtful experience when they are in her care. Her fenced yard and cozy places to lay inside gave us peace of mind when we trusted Dawn with the care and feeding of our guys, zeke and Quince.
There is only one place I would take a dog I own. Dawn's Dog Boarding is the type of business that clearly loves what they do. The level of care and attention dogs receive is unprecedented. I know that when I bring Oona to Dawn's, she is going to have a really nice stay and come home tired and happy. I have known Dawn for over 30 years and I can say that she is responsible, loving and experienced. These are things that pet owners want from the place they leave their beloved animals. Check out Dawn's Boarding. There is a reason she keeps winning all of the awards and accolades!!!
Our dog Biscuit seems very at home when she stays at Dawn's Dog Boarding. We can see this through the photos shared and observing her being completely relaxed when she returns home. The setting is clean, provides plenty of exercise and good TLC. Dawn and her staff keep our dog safe by introducing her to the pack in small groups when she arrives and matching her with similar energy levels for her stay. We have many choices for dog boarding in our area and from experience we know that choosing Dawn's Dog Boarding is the best choice for our dog.
Our 5 year old dog has been staying with Dawn since he was a puppy - it is his home away from home! Dawn looks after all the pups as if they were her own, and they gets lots of love and attention, all while enjoying time and space in the beautiful Hudson Valley. I could not recommend Dawn more highly!
Dawn took great care of my dog when we were out of the country for 10 days. I knew he would be well loved and cared for, and that gave us so much peace of mind so we could enjoy our vacation. We'll definitely leave our dog with Dawn again. Highly recommenc!
We've brought our small dog to Dawn about 3 times now, for up to a week, and she's absolutely our go-to person for this. She tends to the dogs like they were her own children, I'd say. No cages here - just big open spaces and socializing.
Dawn is amazing! She and her crew take such wonderful care of my pup Love whenever I am away. Highly recommended!
I did not know about Dawn until a few days ago. I ran in to a big problem as I was staying with family as I had an emergency and my family loved my dog but the landlord says that dogs are not aloud do to insurance so my family was told my dog had to go or they had to go. My family helped me by asking everyone they knew if they could take my dog then I was looking for a dog boarding near me and I found Dawn. I called her and left a message and she called me back in a quick amount of time. I explained to her what was going on and because she was on her way out the door for the day to meet up with friends she could not take my dog that night. Dawn did let me bring my dog the next morning. I was late getting to her and she understood. My sweet Hazel got to be around other dogs and got a lot of exercise. I would recommend her to all. Dawn gave me some information that I did not know and she gave me very good information. I will be using her again when I need a spot for my sweet Hazel to go when she can not be with us her loving family. Thank You for all you do for my sweet Hazel and all the other dogs as well. I would give you more stars as I feel that 5 stars are not enough as you are way more then 5 stars.
We love Dawns Dog Boarding! It’s like bringing our dogs to family members! We trust her and will always bring Pandora and Mystic to her! Goddess Blessings Charmaine and Steve Armatas
Our dog stayed with Dawn while we were at a wedding in the area and it was perfect! Dawn is so sweet and our pup had a great time.
Dogwood Pet Lodge
Opening Hours:
Recent Reviews:
Dogwood lodge took our dog, Doobie, with short notice due to sudden death in family. This was appreciated by us. Our dog is reactive and Dogwood Lodge knew and accepted him. We were very nervous with our furry child because we always boarded in someone’s home or family. He enjoyed his 30 minute romp in yard. He was very happy to see us and liked Alison. This is surprising since he normally only likes us. Happy and resting on “His” bed he lets us share.
Dogwood Pet Lodge is the only place I leave my senior dog. Allison and Joe truly treat him like one of their own. On our last stay, Allison was able to trim the matted fur around his mouth that even the groomer is unable to touch. She truly is the “dog whisperer” and has a magic touch! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We boarded our nearly 12 year old little Jack Russell there for 5 days. She was pampered by Allison in the VIP room while we enjoyed a trip into the city. I highly recommend paying for the upgrade to get photos sent to you. We loved watching Olivia play in the yard and see that she was comfortable and resting well. Allison truly cares about all of the animals there. She is kind and professional. Overall an excellent experience and hopefully we'll be back next year!
Great experience! From the very first communication with Allison I had a sense of her attention to detail, safety and the general well being of all of the pets in her care. She offered a full tour of the facility, asked questions to discover any special needs or concerns for my dog, and provided documentation for her policies and procedures. I was required to sign off acknowledgement, which I was happy to do. She was very clear that she had policies that were rigid, but in place for the right reasons-my pet’s successful stay. I have a rescue who did not have a good early life, and because of her abuse, she is fearful of people and situations and her reaction is not always predictable. The facility, which is double fenced, and the fact that there was regular processes for supervision, feeding and even cuddle time, put me at ease. During my dog’s stay, I got an update and even some nice pics of her at play and cuddling (see below-she didn’t miss me much!). When I picked my dog up after a week long visit, it was obvious that she was comfortable and happy at Dogwood and had made a new friend in Allison. Once home, we didn’t have any re entry issues. My dog was healthy, happy and slipped right back into our normal routine.
This lodge is cozy and casual. The owners are so kind and very good with animals. They took care of my 2 kitties for 4 days, and I brought my babies home safe, happy, clean and calm. I will definitely go here any time I need to trust someone to care for my sweet fur friends! ❤ thank you for taking such good care of them.
Took a vacation for the first time in 8 years and one of the major concerns was a great place to leave my dog. It was over the Christmas Holiday and The Dogwood Pet Lodge was the place to go and so glad I did! Paid for the one on one walks and playtime which was so worth it. Then I opted for the daily pictures and being away, it made the whole difference in my vacation. Then prior to picking her up I was told she was just finishing her bath! No need to go anywhere else!!
I felt absolutely comfortable and happy leaving my dogs here for daycare a few times a week during long work days. The owners really love animals and I could tell that my pups were well cared for! They accommodated me last minute and were incredibly helpful. If I wasn’t moving out of state I would take my pups there every week! Thank you!!
The personal attention our pets receive at Dogwood for overnight stays can't be beat. They are great a taking photos of our pups and sending us daily emails and FB posts. Our pups love going there. Plus, the groomer is great too.
Awesome! Our go-to for years now and the only way we're ever able to travel. Our dog is a handful, but is always received and cared for with so much love, care and compassion. So lucky to have Dogwood Pet Lodge!
Compassionate, thoughtful care for your pooch. The only place my dog doesn't act like she has been in jail when i pick her up. Dogs are kept in runs, not wee crates/cages and can see other pups.

We go to Toni for our dogs haircuts and both Charlie ( our dog) and I enjoy the experience. She does a good job at a reasonable price and is always friendly.
My little girl Roxy hasn't stayed over yet, but I did stop by and met Toni who was super nice and toured the facility. Everything was up to date and the dogs that were staying there had clean runs and looked very 😊 happy. Roxy is staying at the end of the month.. …
