Our professional pet-service team will provide you with peace of mind while you’re away.

We understand that not any two households or pets are the same, which is why we offer customized services to fit you and your pet’s unique needs. No matter your personal pet-care plan, you can have peace of mind knowing that your pet is content in the comfort of their own home with all those familiar smells, sights, and sounds!

As a lifelong pet lover, I noticed the need for trustworthy pet-sitting, dog-walking, and pet-care services for the Fort Lauderdale community. This need combined with my passion led me to start East Paws Pet Services.

Our team

Since founding East Paws Pet Services, I have made it a point to hire like-minded pet loving individuals. My experienced team of trustworthy, skilled pet care professionals make it their daily mission to offer dog walking and pet sitting services that provide the care and attention your pets deserve, all while taking a load off your mind (and your to-do list!). East Paws prioritizes education and training to ensure professional knowledge in all areas of pet care. All team members are background checked, references checked, bonded, and insured.

Eleanor McCoy, Founder

When I launched East Paws Pet Services in 2006, I knew the importance of providing a reliable service with the highest standards for safety, and lots of good old-fashioned TLC for precious pets. These are still our guiding principles today.

My qualifications include Pet Sitters International’s Certified Professional Pet Sitter (CPPS), and Animal Behavior College’s Certified Dog Trainers (ABC CDT). I have continued my education with courses from Victoria Stillwell, Karen Pryor, Pet Profession Guild and National Association of Professional Pet Sitters (NAPPS).
