Bernard
Ruby, New York
Premium Pet Grandparents
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!

Leslie
Ruby, New York
For the animals, loving companion
Leslie was wonderful! I would highly recommend her. She did an excellent job taking care of our 4 horses, 3 dogs, and Earle Kitty. When we arrived home, they all looked happy and well kept. She texted updates and sent pictures every morning. The house, I couldn't even tell she had stayed. Leslie washed towels and bed sheets and remade her bed. She is a lovely person to be around.

This is the second time Karen has sat for us and hopefully she will be sitting for us again this August.
Elvira
Ruby, 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.
Margaret
Ruby, New York
Work-from-home coding girl who is obsessed with animals.
Maggie was a complete pro. She took beautiful care of our Lucy and after maggie left she moped for a couple of days. Maggie's communication skills were excellent, she shared some cute pictures of Lucy hogging the chaise lounge on the deck and giving Maggie no room; and the two of them taking a walk. If she had a question about Lucy's diet, she asked it and she double checked with us as to our itinerary. When we returned, our house was cleaner than the way we left it.I highly recommend Maggie.
Christy
Ruby, 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!
Sabrina
Ruby, New York
Chill Musician Couple will treat your pets & home with Love! Courteous & Kind =)
I was very happy with Sabrina and Niles as our cat sitters! They arrived a day early to make sure there's enough time for us to show them everything, and they made sure to note down everything for later. Also, a huge thank you because our regular cat food and litter delivery was due during their sit and while it usually arrives in one go, this time it came split into four or five individual deliveries with one ending up at our neighbours. Sabrina and Niles made sure that everything was there and also went to the neighbour to pick up the last piece, and in the end build a nice cardboard box space that the cats absolutely loved (one of the boxes is still alive and is being used every day). We received daily updates and pictures too which I'm always super grateful for as it's the highlight of my day when I'm away. I can absolutely recommend Sabrina and Niles and would not hesitate to invite them back. :-)

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.

I was delighted when Naomi came back again for another sit with Mr B. So kind, so calm - such a wonderful sitter in every way and kept me up to date at all times. A lovely person, so glad we met and Naomi is always welcome.
Reviews from Dog Owners
Tess
Erica watched my senior dog and cat for 12 days while I was traveling internationally. She was organized, responsive, and took excellent care of both my animals and my apartment while I was away. She sent me photos during the stay and my pets absolutely adored her. She has watched my pets before and I always trust her to take excellent care of them. Traveling internationally and leaving my pets in the care of a sitter always makes me a little nervous, since I won't always be immediately reachable. However, Erica's communication and obvious competency made me feel very comfortable about leaving my pets in her care while I was away. It's very obvious she adores spending time with the pets and caring for them. I came home to a clean apartment and very happy and healthy pets. I would highly recommend Erica for any of your sits!
Jackie
Sue and Richard were greeted enthusiastically by the dogs ! They sent me pics of the dogs having a good time on the beach . Which is always reassuring. I can recommend them as dog sitters and they arrived on time and were packed up when I got back
Allyson
Susan and Jim were exceptional pet sitters for our 2 pups and cat! From the start they were communicative and asked thoughtful clarifying questions that made us feel comfortable immediately. We spent time together the evening before we left for vacation and it was clear that they had read our welcome doc and instructions. They referenced animal behaviors that were noted and confirmed details. They arrived about an hour before we left and gave us all plenty of time to feel comfortable with being in our home. Throughout our vacation, Susan sent photos and updates of our critters and let us know how they were spending their time together. Susan was quick to respond to my messages via WhatsApp any time I reached out. Susan and Jim stayed at our house until we landed at the airport and let them know we were safely on the ground. They fed and walked the dogs and let us know they would be gone before we got home. It was great knowing that had our flight been delayed, they would have stayed at the house until we were safe driving distance away. We came home to a sparkling clean home, a thriving and happy garden, and well cared for animals! Susan and Jim left us detailed notes of their stay and even gave us lots of instructions on how to keep our garden happy! What a treat! All our linens were washed and replaced and the house was immaculate. Thank you Susan and Jim for choosing our home and furry family to spend your time with! You were the best first experience we could have asked for and would love to have you back again!
Michelle
Brian was a wonderful sitter for our 11 year old dog and also took great care of our home. He sent me pictures every day and let me know how Macklin was doing which always helps ease my mind. Our home was clean and tidy when we returned and everything in its place. I'd recommend Brian to anyone looking for excellent care by a friendly person!
SOPHIA
I've always been lucky with my sitters through zeewoi, and this time was no exception. George, Larissa and their four lovely children were the absolute perfection in house guests and I cannot praise this wonderful family too highly. They did all the usual things you'd expect, gave my beautiful girls all the love and care I could wish, walked them at least once every day despite the best the British weather could throw at them, and sent me regular updates and photos so I could see how much love they were getting. They also left the house cleaner and tidier than I think I've ever seen it! I'm a bit worried that all they did for the week was walk and play with the dogs and then clean the house - I'm beyond grateful, the place looks amazing! They really are the very nicest people too, George has a hilarious sense of humour (thanks for the funny texts George!) and Larissa is calm, kind and an inspiration as a mother. I really can't wait to have them back to look after the girls again in the summer and wish the whole family a wonderful trip until then. If they come and house sit for you then you are in for a real treat!
Kim & Brian
Joe was an excellent sitter and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away, dealing with one of our pup’s surgery recovery, which was an unexpected circumstance just prior to our trip. We felt fully comfortable and were so grateful to know that all of our dogs and our home were in such good hands during his stay. Highly recommend!
Courtney
Wendy sat for us on three occasions this Summer and I can’t say enough good things about her. The dogs were well taken care of and she was, organized, tidy, and responsible. It’s great to find a house/pet sitter that you can rest easy knowing everything is taken care of. We are hoping she will want to spend more time in the PNW!
Ann
Susan and Jim were amazing sitters for my 2 boys whilst I went to Portugal to play golf. Communication we had prior to the sit was excellent, and we were able to discuss the dogs in detail. They arrived the day before I was due to leave so we were able to have a good handover. They really looked after the dogs well, and my house was immaculate when I returned. I can't recommend them highly enough, just wished they lived in the UK so I could use them on a regular basis. Thank you Susan and Jim xx
JoAnn
Hamsa was very quick to respond in all communication. She was prompt on her arrival and listened carefully to our detailed instructions about the house and dogs. While we were away the amount of communication between us was just right. When we arrived home the dogs were happy and the house was in order. A good sign that a dog sitter paid lots of attention to the pups is when we see a bit of depression set in after a dog sitter departs - this did occur after Hamsa left our home She is a very caring and nurturing individual.
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!

I toured the facilities before dropping my dog off for the weekend. They were clean and spacious. I love that my dog was able to go outside in a safe and enclosed environment at any time. We paid for extra play time and a nature walk. She was very happy when I picked her up.
Super friendly staff, dogs are always well taken care of, never had an issue the 3+ times been there! Both our huskies stay together so it’s a cheaper price! Never a worry in our minds when we are on vacation!! Highly recommended!
The staff is always so friendly and take care of our darlings so well! & the fact that it's only about 10 minutes from home is such a bonus!
Our cat stayed here while we traveled for Christmas. Upon arriving to pick him up he was safe and sound. Facility is clean and appears to have people who care about the animals.
Our Sophie was well taken care of when a last minute change in plans had us scrambling to board her overnight in a town we were visiting. The owner was flexible and accommodating and truly loves dogs. It would be a five star review from those facts alone but the prices were more than reasonable. I recommend this place.
Amazing place. Professional and sweet. I love boarding my black lab here and also Gertz him groomed. The facility is very clean and they allow my dog to get outside and take walks!
I unfortunately had a bad experience at Catskill Mountain Bed N Biscuit in December of 2021 and finally decided to write a review. The place is generally clean, and fine if you don't mind an impersonal experience. However, they didn't welcome our pup upon arrival which was our first discomfort that it wasn't the warmest experience either. They don't take daily photos which is fine of course, but said we could call every day. When we did, they were very dry on the phone not offering much info about my dog. When we picked her up, we found her bed had been washed which we first appreciated but realized it was because she had an accident ( we found the foam on the inside very soiled) which could only have been because she didn't go out enough since she hasn't had an accident since she was a young puppy and NEVER in her own bed. Additionally, when we picked her up, she had a green goo in her eye which after taking her to the vet we found out was conjunctivitis. When we called to let them know just in case for their other dogs, they basically denied it saying there was no way she had that because our dog didn't have contact with other dogs. What doesn't make sense is that the employees at least have contact with other dogs! And she definitely didn't have it when we left for our trip. For us, this isn't the place to board our dog, it's impersonal and there was no communication about either of the items I mentioned above despite my calling to check on my dog.
More aptly named as a doggie day camp. My pup and I have been going for the past 2 years. I never have my attention on my pooch as I know he is so incredibly cared for. All the staff loves him, from Pam, to Cindy, Angelica, Patty and Marc. My appreciation is overwhelming. Hank is happy and loved. He goes on nature walks and has hugs and kisses time. He gets a bath weekly which makes him even more prettier. I am thrilled bringing him almost daily. If anyone ever wants to ask me about the Bed n Biscuit, I will be happy to fill in any details. Your dog will be happy staying there.
This place is hands down the best! They treat our dog with such respect and love. We bring our 6 yr old border collie here for grooming. And we have never been disappointed. They have fair prices. And the staff is so friendly and absolutely accommodating.
Thank you for being so wonderful with my fur baby.. even though he can be a bit difficult.. he certainly has more pep without all his fur ❣️
