Pet Sitters in Alfred

If you’re lucky enough to have Erik and Madison want to housesit for you, don’t think about it twice! They’re the most thoughtful, caring, kind, communicative house sitters you could have and all around wonderful human beings. This was their second time looking after our dogs (and now beta fish too!) and we couldn’t have been happier. Thank you thank you thank you Madison and Erik! We hope we get to see you again in Seattle or Spain!

Betsy was amazing. From the first phone call to finishing the sit everything was perfect. We returned to a very happy Tom and a beautiful clean home. Tom was completely spoilt while we were away and is missing Betsy. Communication was superb with regular pictures and updates. If you ever have the chance of having Betsy sit for you. Jump at the chance. We highly recommend her and will have her back anytime.

Samantha was very communicative from the start and stayed that way throughout our trip. She sent daily updates and photos which we loved seeing and it was obvious that our animals were happy and well cared for. I had what I thought would be a 2 day repair project planned, and they were so flexible and patient when it turned into a full week! Yikes! Came home to a spotless house and happy animals and would welcome this nice family back anytime.

Doreen and David are lovely people and fantastic house and pet sitters. Our experience with them was great from start to finish and we recommend them highly. It was clear from the outset they are experienced and competent and also kind and gentle in their approach so we had complete trust and confidence in them. It was a pleasure to meet them the day before the sit, Lola definitely approved and was relaxed in their company. During the week we were away the regular updates from Doreen made it clear a genuine bond was growing between them and they were loving and enjoying our dog as much as we do. Communication was excellent, they were thoughtful and respectful of our home which was immaculate when we returned, they’d even baked some delicious blueberry crumble to welcome us home. We think Lola misses them - the day after they left, on the way back from a walk she got super excited as a very tall man approached us on the other side of the pavement. She wagged her tail and went up to him as if she knew him. She doesn't normally do this, I'm sure she thought David had come back to see her. We hope Doreen and David return to the UK next year, we'd be very happy to welcome them back to look after Lola. And Lola would be delighted.

I am so fortunate to have found Alanna to take care of my cat while I went on a nine week trip to Mexico in my van. My cat was a little more complicated to care for because he was diagnosed with IBD just before I left. He thrived under Alanna’s care. He almost gained a full pound while I was gone, which is amazing for a cat with this diagnosis. It’s speak volumes about Alanna as a care provider. She was 100% attentive to all of his needs. She sent me pictures and communicated with me almost daily. I really can’t say enough good about her. She was neat and clean and took such great care of my condo, which is a second home, that she is welcome to come back anytime to stay if she wants to vacation in Seattle. I think my cat misses her. I’m POSITIVE that I miss her. I hope to see her again in the near future!

Well we have met some incredibly wonderful responsible and generous people on zeewoi but I would say Anne and Tim among the best. Couldn’t recommend them enough. They took wonderful care of our 90 pound Anatolian Shepherd, but also our idiosyncratic old colonial home , including navigating the woodstove and heat pump, a house full of house plants and acre of land.

We were so happy that Pam was available to watch our dogs again when we were away for a few days. She is always our first choice to take care of our two active Mini-American Shepards. They love to be with her as she knows them well and enjoys taking care of them. Pam is great about filling me in on her activities which always include walks to the beach, and around our neighborhood, ball play, and lots of loving attention. In addition, Pam is a great communicator, never hesitating to check in and ask questions if they come up. I know that both our house and dogs are getting the very best care with when Pam comes to sit. We never have to worry!

Dawn was the kind of sitter that you dream of having! My two kitties loved her, she sent pictures of them daily, and she was just thoughtful and awesome all around. I would love to have her come back anytime and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for piece of mind about your pets and home while you're gone!

Sarah and Caleb were great! Easy to communicate with and took excellent care of Banksy. They checked in regularly and left the house clean and tidy upon return. I’d have them come and stay again anytime.

This was our second time having Ciara at our home with Ellie. We had such a great experience we wanted to bring her back. My favorite things about Ciara as a sitter is her quality care of Ellie, daily communication, and how self sufficient she is. She walked our dog almost daily and sent photos updating us on Ellie's activities each day. Ellie had a little bit of a health scare and Ciara stayed right on top of everything + maintained awesome communication throughout. We live on an island and if you have, you know island living isn't always the easiest. Ciara was comfortable with our home's quirks and didn't need hand holding during her stay. Would absolutely have her back in the future.
