“Jennifer was amazing! We were worried about someone new in our home and that our cat would be comfortable with, but we had nothing to worry about. Our cat was friendly and curious with her and Jennifer was very communicative and gentle with our shy little one. I can’t recommend Jennifer enough to pet parents!”
“Sarah was fantastic - book her now! We hired her to stay over with our VERY active and playful young cats for a weekend. She definitely kept them engaged and entertained, because they didn't wreak havoc and destruction while we were gone. The cats gave her a great report card and hopes she'll come back again.”
“Laura was fantastic! We knew our babies would be in good hands as soon as we met her. She was kind, professional and thorough. We were able to relax completely while we were away knowing that they were well cared for.”
“Colleen was awesome! She took great care of our two senior cats while we were away. She kept me updated every day. She obviously loves animals and was able to get pictures of both kitties every day. I was sure the shy one would hide, but they were both very comfortable around her. I would definitely have Colleen watch our cats again.”
“Troy is terrific at this. My pup is timid at first, and Troy has had the patience and taken the time for her to warm up to him. He is trustworthy and reliable. I am never concerned about my pup when Troy is caring for her. Highly recommended!”

About: I'm a licensed veterinary technician who loves animals and can't wait to meet you and your pet! A life-long animal lover, I grew up as the caretaker to my family's cats, dogs, birds, chickens and much more! I have had cats and dogs and occasionally fish, birds, and more! I have always love animals so much that I decided to make their health and happiness a priority with a career as a licensed veterinary technician. In this capacity I have volunteered with numerous animal shelters and rescues to care for everything from wildlife, farm animals, reptiles, birds, fish, and of course all breeds of domestic cats and dogs. I am comfortable with and have experience with dogs ranging from teacup size to giant! I am also an ethical vegan to save the lives of even more animals. I live with a beautiful black cat, who I found wandering the neighborhood one year ago, and an adopted tarantula who needed a safe home. Your pet will be well taken care of while you are away! I have full availability on weekends and after 6 most days during the week. I am available for overnights and drops-ins. I am looking forward to meeting you and your pet of any species! All pet care will be performed in the client's home with the exception of small, caged animals like pocket pets or other small, enclosed pets.
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them never feels like work—it’s something I truly enjoy. I’ve spent a lot of time with pets and I love getting to know their individual quirks and personalities. Whether it’s a playful pup, an older dog, or a cat, I take the time to connect and make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and happy. I believe pets deserve our full attention and respect, and that’s exactly how I approach every visit. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I’m here to make that easy for you. I’m excited to meet your furry friend and give them the care they deserve! Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I enjoy being active and spending time with animals. I do work part time but I’m able plan my schedule to make sure I’m fully available and focused during each visit or walk, and I always allow time for travel, play, and updates to pet parents. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening cuddles, I make sure each pet gets the attention and care they need—no rushing, just quality time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routine as closely as possible to keep their pet comfortable and stress-free. I take time to understand feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special instructions so everything stays consistent. I make sure pets feel safe, respected, and loved in their own space—whether that means going for a walk, playing, or simply being a calm presence. At home, I have a dog who I adore. Caring for him daily has taught me how important it is to give pets the attention, structure, and love they need. I make sure he’s well-fed, gets his favorite treats, and always feels included and cared for. That same level of care is what I bring to every pet I look after. Cleanliness and communication are also important to me. I keep things tidy and will always give updates with photos or notes, so owners know their pet is in good hands.
About: I have had dogs in my home since I was in fifth grade! My family and I currently own a dachshund:miniature pincher mix who is missing her back paw! My sister and parents also own large-breed dogs I also care for when they are out of town! I work remotely full-time and have the flexibility to work from any location! My schedule can fit yours and I am happy to accommodate your needs. I firmly believe that my dog and your dogs are a member of the family and should be treated with the same love and care as anyone in the home.
“Kim took such great care of our dog!! She's clearly an animal lover who made sure our dog had everything he needed :) Walks, treats and lots of attention... We will definitely check with her again! Thanks so much Kim!”
“It is commendable that Michelle was able to get my “feral” cat Madelyn out to sniff her hand!! And she relieved me from worry by caring for all my fur babies while I was gone over the holiday weekend including giving one of my cats his inhaler If anyone is looking for a pet sitter around East Hampton to drop in Michelle gets the job done. It was a perk to come home to a clean area as well.”
About: Ever since college, I’ve enjoyed pet sitting small lap dog size to giant Great Danes. I first started to find a running buddy and then it turned into a fun job for me. It even helped me buy my wife her engagement ring! I own an aussiedoodle who is always active and have learned quite a bit through dog ownership. I’ve helped several folks nearby and in various cities and can provide references. I work as an at home teacher so my schedule is very flexible. I’m able to provide drop ins, dog walking, and house sit so your pets can feel safe in their space. I’m very good at following directions and leaving spaces the same if not better than I find them. I plan to communicate as often as requested and am willing to help with clean up.
“Sandy was wonderful with the drop in visiit for Gia. Despite the bad weather she got her outside and hung out while she played with my other 2 dogs! I will definitely use her again!”
“Roger is a fantastic cat sitter. He is super reliable, communicative, flexible and great with felines. He took really good care of my cranky and cantankerous (and sweet) 15 yr old kitty. Roger went above and beyond to accommodate her while we were away for a week. He also knows kitty CPR which made me feel extra secure! I recommend him highly!”

“Meghan is amazing! She treats our pet as a family member. She always keeps you updated and takes adorable pics. I wouldn’t know what to do without her loving care.”
Emily & Sarah W.
“Sarah and Emily are the most competent and caring pet caregivers I have experienced! They have cared for my 2 cats, Buddy and Peanut, on 4 separate occasions. We leave instructions and food out for them to make things easy and understandable, and each time, our cats are well cared for. We have a unique feeding situation as both cats have different anxiety and food needs, and they have been more than accommodating to this. I have been able to contact them for updates on our cats, as they are both rescues who are extremely anxious around strangers. I am met with understanding and compassion. They both ensure that Buddy and Peanut eat their food, are safe (as they are indoor only cats), and able to experience minimal anxiety. On multiple occasions, they have stayed for over an hour to wait for my cats to eat, as Peanut in particular is very anxious about eating. Overall, I trust no one else to care for my cats the way that Sarah and Emily have in the last couple of years!!”
Heather H.
“Heather is a highly experienced pet sitter who loves and cares for my four giant dogs! Whether it’s for playtime or overnight stays, my dogs are always excited to see her. I’m forever grateful to have found such a reliable, trustworthy, and kind home and pet sitter to care for my babies. She is dependable and has always gone the extra mile to ensure my pets are cared for and loved when I'm not home. Communication is always open, and I received the best photos and videos while away to ensure everyone was super happy! I highly recommend her to everyone <3”

Ebony C.
“Ebony was extremely helpful taking care of my two dogs while I was at work. Unfortunately, something occurred where I had to ask her to come last minute. Even though it was very last minute she was still willing to watch them on such short notice. She kept me updated constantly and sent me pictures which made my day at work much better! Would certainly ask her to watch them again!”
