Amazing and reliable dog sitter. We didn’t get to do a meet and greet as we were just visiting, but we love the comments and picture. Completely recommend.

About: With over 5 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, I treat every pet like family. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic puppy walks to gentle senior care. I focus on making pets feel safe, loved, and understood, whether we’re going on a walk, playing, or just relaxing together. I’m also experienced in following detailed care routines and maintaining clear communication with owners. Your pet’s happiness and comfort are always my top priority. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine. I work Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays 10–4, and Sundays 10–8. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I have classes that end by early afternoon, leaving plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. I love spending my free time with animals, so I always make room in my week to give them the attention and care they deserve. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved, whether I’m in my home or theirs. I follow each pet parent’s instructions carefully, keep routines consistent, and pay close attention to how your pet is feeling. Safety comes first: doors stay secure, walks are done with care, and I provide plenty of supervision, affection, and positive energy. I want every pet to feel happy and relaxed while you’re away.

Elaine was amazing for a last minute walk! I was out of town and needed help with walking my dog and she accepted my request. She was gentle, kind and took to my skittish dog right away. My dog happily went on his walk with her with no issues. Definitely would recommend Elaine!

I’ve had a king German shepherd and now I have a mini poodle so im able to take care of any size dog and I’ve had multiple different breeds of cats such as a marine coon and bengal. My friends back home even depended on my to watch their animals because animals flock to me usually and I love them.

Anytime! Joanna let Sheba be herself, so she could see what she can to improve. Then she was able to practice more with her pulling on leash. Some improvement was noticeable after 1st walk. Nice going

About: Hi there, I am a lifelong dog owner; I am experienced and caring. I love dogs of all breeds and personalities, and I've never met a dog who didn't like me! I'm never bored as long as there's a dog nearby :) I'm also a Stony Brook University student with a flexible schedule and my own reliable transportation. I'll take great care of your dog(s) and your home. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet... My other job is seasonal landscaping, however my boss is very flexible and lenient when it comes to my Rover job. My landscaping will never interfere with my care for your pet.

About: I bring years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and temperaments—including puppies, high-energy dogs, senior pets, and shy or special-needs cats. I’m comfortable with administering medications (oral, topical, and injections), caring for pets with anxiety, and supporting senior animals with mobility issues or extra comfort needs. What sets me apart is my calm, attentive nature and my ability to quickly bond with animals. I tailor each visit to fit your pet’s unique personality—whether that means structured play and training for a puppy, slow walks and joint care for a senior dog, or quiet companionship for a sensitive cat. I’m also a bit of a neat freak, so I make sure litter boxes, food bowls, and pet spaces stay fresh and clean. I care for your pets like they’re family—because that’s exactly how they deserve to be treated. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—I build my schedule around the needs of the fur babies I care for. Whether it’s morning feedings, midday playtime, or evening check-ins, I’m flexible and dependable. I prioritize consistency and create a calm, familiar environment for each pet, making sure they feel secure even when their humans are away. Whether it’s a short visit or an extended stay, I’m fully present and committed to giving your pets the care and attention they deserve every single day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, safety, trust, and respect are my top priorities. I follow all care instructions to the letter, from feeding schedules and medication needs to favorite toys and hiding spots. I make sure doors, windows, and food storage are secure, and I’m mindful of any hazards specific to your home or your pets behavior. I treat your space with the same respect I’d want for my own—clean, tidy, and exactly as you left it. I also provide regular updates with photos or messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, happy, and in loving hands.

About: I’ve dog walked for many years since I was 14 years old and love all pets. I’m used to medium and small dogs, however I’d like to gain more experience walking larger dogs. I’ve volunteered walking shelter dogs at my local ARF in East Hampton as well as participated in fundraising and grand reopening a. Currently in college so my schedule depends, however during breaks (winter and summer )I have a much more open schedule. I commute from Sag Harbor so would need to know beforehand the weeks schedule. Provide my own wipes to clean paws before entering back from outside. I’m very cautious about the products I use since many have harmful chemicals and additives that can be very toxic. Ask before giving treats and respect the space that I am in as well as the pets owners.

About: I’ve always loved dogs and have found as of late I am so drawn to them. They bring a joy and fulfillment to my life no job ever has. I have started learning more about training and nutrition on my own in recent months. I have an 11 year old chihuahua nicknamed Napoleon for her lovely chihuahua temperament; whom I’ve raised since 6 weeks and a shepherd - pit mix we welcomed into our family at 6 weeks as well, he’s turned 1 Oct 2023. I make the majority of my dogs food and treats at home. I have 3 school aged kids and a husband who works a lot. I am looking for something emotionally fulfilling as well as something to boost my physical activity, especially in the upcoming cold season. I am available during the day most days from 9-3 and occasional evenings and weekends. Fairly flexible in my availability depending on how local the gig. My pup is super friendly and in training learning to interact with other dogs as well as follow commands. My chihuahua typically keeps to herself she’s so tiny even when other dogs notice her they tend to leave her be. I have a fenced in 1/2 acre as well as the ability to chain them for short periods(specifically escape artists) as well as a large crate and smaller gate setups. I am affectionate and friendly and I’ve never met a dog who doesn’t love me back.

Chelsea is reliable and consistent. She helped me out when I was overseas and had to leave my dog at my mother’s house. She was always quick to respond and kept the schedule even when my mother and I mixed up our days. Chelsea was a godsend for me and my dog and I am forever grateful. Jen G

About: Hi, I’m Chelsea! 🐾 I’ve been around dogs my whole life and can’t imagine a day without them. From playful puppies to sweet seniors, I love getting to know each pup’s unique personality. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, snuggles, or just making sure they feel safe and cared for, I treat every dog like my own. I’m reliable, patient, and always tuned in to a dog’s needs—whether that’s sticking to their feeding routine, giving extra belly rubs, or helping them burn off energy with a walk. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry friend is happy, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup! 🐶💛 Pet care is a natural part of my everyday routine. I make time in the mornings and evenings for walks, feedings, and playtime, and I love building my schedule around making sure pups get the attention they deserve. On weekends, I’m extra flexible and can spend more time outdoors for longer walks, adventures, or just keeping your dog company. Whether it’s sticking to a set routine or adding a little extra play, I make sure caring for pets fits seamlessly into my day. In my home, pets get a safe, cozy environment where they’re treated like family. I stick to their feeding schedule, provide plenty of potty breaks, and make sure they get playtime, walks, and snuggles. If they’re crated, I keep them comfortable and on their normal routine so they feel at ease. In a client’s home, I always respect your space and your pet’s routine. I make sure food, water, walks, and potty breaks happen right on schedule, and I give them the attention and love they’d get if you were home. I keep things clean, send updates and photos, and make sure your pup feels secure until you return.
