House Sitting East Rock

“Mads was easy to work with and great with little Mars. The pup hadn’t been feeling well and Mads was very attentive.”

“Came home to a happy dog. Raimy provided helpful photos and updates during the visit. Though we did not meet in person, she accommodated my needs by meeting virtually over video-conference before hand. I especially appreciated her willingness to dog / house sit on such short notice!”

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 16. Friends and family trust me to walk, feed and take care of their dogs. I am comfortable taking dogs for long walks around the neighborhood or to the dog park, and I have stayed in home as a pet sitter. My family has a dog and I am involved in her care and play time on a daily basis. I have a very flexible schedule and have lots of time for your pup. I am available for late morning and afternoon walks and playtime. I have an energetic 60 pound dog. I am used to walking a strong dog and can easily handle a dog that may pull. I am happy to walk your dog in your neighborhood and/or play in your yard. I will work with whatever routine your dog is accustomed to.

“Emily was wonderful with our pups and cats! She housesat for 5 days/nights and took great care of everyone and everything! She sent us texts and photos and asked about things that might be concerning, like one of our cats who has cherry eye (I hadn't mentioned it, as I don't really think about it and he hid in our initial visit) and she was concerned that he might have gotten his eye scratched. Very thorough and sent me a text of her perception of their personalities....spot on!! The dogs LOVED her too! I would use her for petsitting without hesitation! Extremely trustworthy young woman!”

“Sai was great with Willie. She sent us great updates and photos and made it feel so much easier to leave him. She also left the house nice and clean which is such a bonus!”

“Karime was amazing! She accommodated a very last minute request and took great care of my girls while they were dealing with some serious allergies. She communicated consistently and promptly and also took note of when things seemed concerning. Great and caring sitter!”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, especially cats. Over the years, I have become the go-to pet sitter within my friend group and regularly care for my friends’ cats while they are away on vacation. I also grew up informally pet sitting for neighbors and friends, giving me experience caring for pets in a variety of home environments and routines. I currently care for my own cat, Reami, a 3-year-old Ragamuffin whom I have raised since he was a kitten. Reami has anxiety-related health issues that can contribute to urinary tract problems, so I am very familiar with providing attentive, patient, and consistent care for sensitive pets. Because of his needs, I understand the importance of maintaining a calm environment, monitoring behavior closely, sticking to routines, encouraging play and enrichment, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. In addition to caring for Reami, I have also helped care for my roommates’ cats in the past, including feeding, playtime, litter box maintenance, and general companionship. Through these experiences, I have become comfortable caring for cats with different personalities, energy levels, and temperaments — from shy and anxious cats to highly social and playful ones. While I mainly prefer cat sitting, I also have some experience with dogs, including walking friends’ dogs and taking them on hikes and outdoor outings. I am happy to provide patient, attentive care tailored to each pet’s personality and comfort level. As a sitter, I prioritize communication, reliability, cleanliness, and making sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment while their owners are away. I am a graduate student whose lab is only a 15 minute walk away from home. My schedule is extremely flexible and except for few meetings throughout the week, my schedule is fully up to me. I am also able to leave at any point for short breaks to take pets out for walks/ check up on them. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment for every pet I care for. I understand that pets — especially cats — can be sensitive to changes in routine, so I do my best to keep their schedule and environment consistent while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, litter box cleaning, playtime, exercise, and any specific routines or preferences. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured that their pets are happy and well cared for. As the owner of an anxious cat with special care needs, I am very attentive to pets’ behavior, comfort, and stress levels. I value patience, cleanliness, reliability, and making sure every pet feels safe, relaxed, and loved.

About: I’ve never had my own dog but have BEGGED my parents for once since I was young. We settled on them letting me volunteer at the local animal shelter, where I mainly walk dogs and help out senior dogs. I’ve loved it so much I did it throughout college, but now that I’m out of college and have moved to a new town, am looking for a similar way to replicate that hobby. Currently also a grad student at Yale, so looking for a low maintenance way to make some extra allowance as well! I work 4/7 days a week, so I can walk your dog on pretty much any time of the weekend, before 10am on weekdays, after 7pm on weekdays, and depending on the week, an extra weekday! Very flexible! I am just looking to walk dogs for now, and I will promise you they will have the best time!! I love to run and hike so your dog will definitely get an amazing walk.

“Maverick was happy and well cared for. Mai did an excellent job caretaking for him. Maverick doesn’t warm up to new well and he liked her at first meet.”

“Taresh is kind and took great care of our beagle mix puppy. Would recommend and book again.”

Kristen M.

“Tiera was great! She came early the first time to meet my dog, played with him while I had a doctor's appointment. She clearly has a love for animals.”

Andrew S.

“Kait was amazing! She came through in a pinch and was kind and gracious. I know our boys enjoyed her as much as we did!”

Jamie S.

“Arabelle was a joy to work with! She was meticulous in her planning and knowing what needed to be done for Floki, plus making sure she had all emergency numbers and what to do in case of an emergency. She made sure Floki was was very well cared for while we were away and even brought him a new ball to play with! He was walked, fed on time and played with in our yard with frequent communications so that we could see all of the fun he was having. I would highly recommend Arabelle to anyone that needs overnight care or even daily check ins. She was just what we needed and expected for our fur family and will be using her again for future day trips and longer vacations!”

About: I have been taking care of my own cats and dogs since I was a young child. From potty training to de-escalation, I've seen quite a bit! Oh, and that old saying is not true. You can definitely teach an old dog new tricks. I work a flexible, remote job and am flexible on when I can provide pet services. While I cannot board animals, I am open to visit your pets while away and/or take them on a brisk stroll! I try to make your pet's experience as comforting for everyone as possible. I appreciate getting a list of each pet's likes/dislikes, or even anxieties so I can get a good idea of how to keep them comfortable. I think we can all agree that new people can be scary, and I want to make sure you and your pet feel comfortable and can trust me.

About: Hi! This is a joint account with my partner and myself. We cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes since we were young of age. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted us for years to walk, feed, bathe, and give loving attention to their pets. We are experienced with both energetic puppies and senior dogs who need a gentler approach, and we treat every pet as if they were my own. This is a joint account with me and my partner. We always have full availability and always are looking to take care of your pets! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow any specific routines or instructions you provide. I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well looked after, whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, administering medications, or keeping their environment clean and comfortable. I always respect your home and your pet’s space.

“House, dog, cats and the fish looked and acted like we weren't gone for 10 days letting us know their routine was not interrupted. Ellyana sent plenty of pictures assuring us the furbabies were well-loved in our absence. She was not shy to ask questions or report issues to ensure everything went well for everybody while we were away.”

About: I’ve had animals my entire life and have a technical certificate as a veterinary assistant. I worked in an animal clinic in Brooklyn for 2 years, where I gained hands on experience with animal care, handling, and health monitoring. I’ve also spent 3 years dog walking, caring for pets of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering basic care, and making sure pets feel safe, exercised, and well cared for while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule and am available for drop-ins, walks, feedings, and check-ins throughout the week and weekends. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on your pet’s routine. I prioritize consistency and will stick closely to their normal schedule to keep them comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment for every pet. With my background working in an animal clinic, I’m confident handling different temperaments and recognizing changes in behavior or health. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications if needed, and exercise. I adjust my approach based on each pet’s personality and always keep owners updated with messages and photos so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.
