About: I began working with dogs at a young age by starting my own dog-walking business at 12, and I have continued building my experience in pet care ever since. I have hands-on experience with dogs of various sizes and temperaments and am confident handling a range of needs, while continuing to expand my experience with larger breeds. In addition, I have volunteered with the Animal Rescue Fund (ARF) in East Hampton, where I worked with dogs of diverse backgrounds, strengthening my adaptability and overall handling skills. I am currently a college student, so my schedule varies slightly during the semester. However, I maintain a consistent routine and am reliable with planned visits, especially in the mornings. I commute from Sag Harbor and appreciate having a weekly schedule in advance to ensure consistency and dependability. During winter and summer breaks, I have a much more flexible and open schedule. I provide my own pet-safe wipes to clean paws after outdoor walks, helping keep your home clean while maintaining your pet’s comfort. I’m mindful about the products I use and prioritize gentle, pet-safe options. I always ask before giving any treats and make it a priority to respect both your home and your pet’s routine. I aim to provide thoughtful, considerate care in every environment I’m welcomed into.

“Maryann seems to have done great w/ Winston. She made sure he did his "business" and kept me in the loop while w/ him. I think they found their groove.”

About: Hi, I’m Erika! I’m a proud cat mom to Kippy and GoGo and have been surrounded by pets my whole life. I understand that cats need patience, routine, and a sitter who truly gets them. I treat every cat as if they were my own—taking time to learn their personality, preferences, and comfort level. My goal is to make sure your cat feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work remotely full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule to care for your cats during the week. I am also available full-time on weekends. When caring for your cats in your home, my priority is to make them feel as comfortable and loved as possible. I’ll stick to their regular routine, including feeding times, playtime, and any other special care they need. I’ll make sure to provide plenty of attention, whether it’s through gentle petting, interactive play, or simply keeping them company while you’re away. I’ll ensure their environment is clean and safe, providing fresh food, water, and a tidy litter box. If your cat has any special needs, I’ll follow your instructions carefully to ensure they’re well taken care of. Most importantly, I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect as if they were my own. I want your cats to feel relaxed and happy, just like they would if you were there!

About: I’m 27 years old and have been around dogs my entire life. I currently care for three dogs—one of my own and two family dogs—so I know how important daily exercise, attention, and love are for them. I have plenty of experience with dog walking and making sure pups get the activity and care they need. I currently work at Village Hall from 9am–4pm, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for pets before and after work, as well as during my lunch break at noon. I’m able to fit in walks, playtime, or check-ins throughout the day to make sure your pup gets the attention they need When caring for pets, whether in my home or my client’s, I make sure they’re in a calm, safe, and structured environment. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs before visits begin. I keep all spaces clean, secure, and free from hazards, and ensure gates and doors are always properly closed. I believe trust is built through consistency and communication, so I provide regular updates and photos to keep owners informed. I handle every pet as if they were my own—with patience, affection, and attention to detail—so they always feel comfortable, loved, and cared for.

“Alexa was so great. Friendly, on time and Leo loved her. We would love to have her back!”

About: I have a deep love for dogs and 25 years of experience caring for them. I can assist with training, administer medications as needed, and ensure your pet receives plenty of exercise, attention, and loving care. "As a work-from-home professional, I have ample time and a genuine love for animals. I offer a variety of pet care services, including boarding, home sitting, daycare, walks, and playtime, available on both weekdays and weekends." I'm flexible and can adapt to your dog's specific care needs. To ensure a safe environment for all, dogs will remain on a leash on my 3-acre property unless they are exceptionally well-trained off-leash. Please let me know if you'd like to include walks on Bay Beach, the beach, or at a dog run in your dog's care plan.

“I was happy to find Cathy. She was great, always on time and I loved the daily pictures she sent me of my little boy. My pet was very happy when I came home.”

“Kurt is the most knowledgeable dog sitter and trainer I know with many years of experience. He can handle and understand behavioral challenges in dogs. Right now he is helping my foster dog Coda a Chesapeake Bay retriever and trains him on the leash. Thank you so much.”

Julia J.

“Jacquie has been so patient and understanding of our situation. She was not phased by me having to reschedule the walk due to a mandatory quarantine on my dog. Once we were ready, she showed up on time and my dog seemed to love her!”

“Mush had an awesome time, she really connected with Albert, and Albert took the time to hear my recommendations for her! Thank you”

About: I grew up with dogs and have a very large very hyper guy currently. I started walking dogs when I was in elementary school and dog sat during Covid. I’ve also owned dogs through every stage of their life, from 8 weeks to 16 years old. I work restaurant hours Thursday through Sunday, 3 to 11. This means I have 3 days completely free and I’m available every morning and afternoon. I can’t do anything in my own home because my dog isn’t very good at making friends, but because of that I am very good with walking and caring for more challenging dogs

“Jhoselin was great to work with. She was very responsive, friendly, patient with Leo, who was not really feeling like walking to do that she came, but we would love to have her back!!”

“Anica has the patience of a saint. My girl is shy and Anica took the time to try to bond with Milly. She went above and beyond, fed her dinner, and even cleaned up Milly’s accident. I would recommend her to other dog owners. She created a safe environment for Milly.”
