“Anica was amazing. My two jack Russell’s took to her immediately. She is a very kind and sweet person. She sent so many photos and updates during the course of the day. We will def be using her in the future. Highly recommended”
About: I have had pets since I was a child growing up, ranging from cats, dogs, leopard gecko, frogs, fish, etc. I am confident I can care for any animal you have, and enthusiastically provide support to your schedule and love to your babies. I have a very flexible schedule at the moment, and can be available any day (pending your location). I’m currently fully available all week Monday - Sunday, and free all day. Each week I will have some personal plans to fit into my schedule, but I can absolutely be flexible to your schedule based on your needs. It would be helpful to know your general location just to ensure the distance is feasible for me. I am more than happy to go to your home for pet care, and can complete any tasks needed from there. I am also happy to do overnight stays to tend to your pet however is needed. I am happy to do all feeding, changing litter or walking dogs, playing, and some minimal training as well. Let me know what you need and we’ll make it work!
“I've had the pleasure of booking Carley twice now, and both times have been fantastic! She is reliable, attentive, and clearly loves animals.”
“Jess was great with our dogs- great communication and sent pictures. She kept us at ease while we were away and the dogs were in great hands!! We will be using her again!”
“Crystal was absolutely amazing with my dogs! I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! I will definitely ask for her again when I go on another vacation!”
“Dominique is an absolute sweetheart and conquered my large, high energy dog head on with absolutely no doubts. Great communication skills, and Dakota seemed to take a very quick liking to her! Highly recommended for all of your dog sitting needs”
“Emily is wonderful. Our dogs are getting older and require medication, one requires an insulin shot. Emily handled them seamlessly and with great care. We’re so glad we found her!”
About: I've spent my whole life with animals' cats, dogs, horses, chickens, goats, birds and even reptiles. Not only did I grow up with these animals, but I was obsessed with taking care of them. My love for animals has gone as far as becoming a competitive horseback riding instructor and horse developer/trainer. I also have some experience with basic dog training and, of course, a vast amount of experience in dog care. Taking care of animals is a passion of mine, so your furry friends are in the best of hands. *PLEASE CONSIDER FIRST BEFORE BOOKING* I am located on the North Fork, so same day drop in visits or walks will be unlikely if you are located on the South Fork. I am currently a student, but I look to fill my time around my class schedule with any work I can get. from Dec. 17th until the end of January my schedule is almost completely open. I will care for your pet like they are my own. I make sure to follow any and all instructions the pet parent provided, whether it be administering medications, specific feeding schedule, exercises and training preferences, as well as grooming. Not to mention the attention and affection they will receive.
About: I have had and cared for all kinds of animals my entire life. I have 15+ years of experience in pet sitting from cats to horses and most animals in between! I am available for house sitting and care daily! I usually take my own dogs on long walks or to the beach and would be happy to do the same with your pup! I have two friendly dogs to keep your pup company! I have the ability to crate your dog or put them in a gated room if needed.

About: I’ve helped my senior husky walk again after a neurological diagnosis. So, if your pup needs extra love, I’ve got you! Whether it’s meds, mobility help, or puppy zoomies, I’m here to care for them like they’re my own. Belly rubs and tail wags included! Thankfully right now I'm able to move my schedule around and have availability that works best for all parties: pets, people, and peace of mind! I’ve cared for my pets, 1 husky and 3 labs. All with unique personalities and quirks, so I understand how important it is to tailor care to each pet’s needs. Wherever I'm at, I focus on keeping routines consistent, providing lots of love, and creating a calm, safe environment. I pay close attention to their behavior, energy levels, and comfort so your pet will feel secure and happy while you’re away. From playtime to quiet snuggles, I adjust my care style to match their vibe.
About: I have been a pet sitter for the past two years. I love spending my free time with furry friends, and I always treat them as if they are my own. I am currently a full time student without a job. So my availability is very open! I am available all week, and I am able to make frequent visits. I will spend most of my time playing with your dog, bringing it outside, and bringing it on walks. I will constantly make sure the dog has enough water and food.
About: I’ve always grown up with multiple dogs! Our family loves pups of all ages and sizes! I will treat your pup like one of our own! I work as a teacher. I’m able to do before school hours, after school hours, lunch time breaks and weekends! I am able to spend most of the day with your pup! I have a fenced in yard and one senior dog who spends most of his day sleeping! I live near the beach and love strolls down to the water!
“maria was great. professional, personable and took great care of our pup. i’d definitely hire her again.”
About: I had a dog in my family for around 10 years. He was really the best. It was so fun to watch him grow up and take care of him through it all. I absolutely adore animals and love to give them attention, play with them and learn with them. I work full time but have different hours and sometimes will be available in the mornings, sometimes the middle of the day, and sometimes weekends! I will always have time for animals. I provide a safe and comforting environment for dogs and humans alike. I am very considerate and observant of everything around me so I will always make sure everyone is safe and having a great time with everything they need. I am very respectful of people’s space and always make sure to leave things the way I found them.
“Binti was a wonderful sitter for my puggle Ollie. She sent lots of pics and kept me well informed. Will definitely be reaching out to her again. Thank you, Binti!”
“Sam was great! She took care of my dog, Frankie for 3 nights and was super responsive and communicative, sending pictures every day! Frankie looked happy and well cared for!”
“Gavin was GREAT! He stayed with and played with our two kids (dogs) and lived in our home in East Hampton for close to 3 weeks while we were in New Zealand. While we were away he kept in constant touch with us supplying an endless stream of photos and videos clearly evincing the progress of the dogs trauma of us leaving, with the initial photo of the dogs look of being held hostage (semi joke) to the next of enjoyment with and of the dogs and the dogs change too). He clearly loved them and they loved him back. He is VERY communicative and we appreciated it. He follows direction well and since he lives nearby to us didn't have to travel far to take care of his other responsibilities such as other dogs (like his own). A very responsible fellow and will of course use him again when we return from FL.”
“I almost hate saying how great Tina was with our puppers in fear of her not being available next time I need her. But alas I will sing her praises! We have never felt as confident leaving our sweet boy as we did when we left him in her care. Tina is truly an angel on earth and will forever be our choice for caregiver and walker!”
“Kyle is a great pet sitter, he was very conscientious of the animals needs and was great in the house. He kept me up to date and sent pictures and updates. My dogs loved him! I highly recommend.”

“Morgan has taken care of our dogs on numerous occasions as well as the pets of many of my friends. She is able to reach and connect with even the most difficult of pooches. She gives them her undivided attention, is down on the floor playing with them, takes them for long walks and shows them bundles of love. I call her the “dog whisperer.” She is amazing!! I would trust her implicitly and quite frankly, she missed her calling…she should have gone to vet school.”
