3. Kate G.
About: Growing up in England surrounded by animals, I have always been an animal lover. Currently, I own two French bulldogs, a cat, and six chickens. I work full-time as a professional in a medical setting, but during the weekends, I enjoy keeping busy. I like to go for walks, paint, garden, and take on building projects around my home. With my energy and passion for pets, I would love to care for your animals while you are away. I believe that my experience with various pets has equipped me with the skills to provide them with the attention and love they need. I currently work full time, so my schedule would Allow me to drop in and feed and walk your pet morning and evening. I am also available to stay overnight locally. I have a fenced in back yard and two friendly pups that can keep your pup company. I also have chickens that are kept in a safe enclosure.

“Great attention to my dogs. They were well cared for and Maria clearly loves dogs. I will use her going forward for all my dog boarding needs.”


5. Lois G.
“I overwhelmingly recommend LOIS G to pet sit your dog in the East Hampton area. Lois has been taking care of my dog(s) for over 15 years with exceptional care and detail to their needs on an individual basis. Her home is clean and bright with a nice yard and low deck. Lois goes beyond the basics in pet sitting, and brings it to a new level with her love, affection and attention to your pet's needs while in her care.”

“Carol was fantastic! She took great care of my dog. She took him for a run, took him to the beach . Let him sleep on her bed . Made sure he was eating. Was a great experience.”


7. Shannon C.

“We went on a 16 day trip out of the country and we knew Marley was in safe and caring hands. We got regular videos which reassured us he was happy and having a great time with the other dogs. The best review was when we were eating at an outdoor restaurant patio and suddenly he started to wag his tail like crazy! I was trying to think of who would cause that type of reaction, and it was Shannon and her husband! We will definitely be going back to Shannon.”


8. Hannah A.

“Hannah was amazing! She watched our boy for 5 days on a short notice. This was Ryder’s first time away from family. She took such great care of him! We really loved all of her updates with pictures & videos of their activities together. Ryder came back very relaxed and happy. We could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you so much, Hannah! ❤️”

I highly recommend Allison for her exceptional service and genuine love for animals. The next time we are in the Hamptons we will definitely call Allison again!”

20. Julius G.

“Julius and family took good care of our dog. Julius is super-responsive and sent several cute pictures of the visit. It looked like everyone got along well and were very active. Our dog came home exhausted, which is a good thing. We also needed to adjust the end time a little bit, and Julius was very accommodating of the last minute change.”
