1. Paula G.

“Our pup has some separation anxiety and is a little high maintenance and Paula did such a great job with her. She is clearly an animal lover and gives your pet the attention needed to give you peace of mind when you have to leave them. We appreciate her taking such good care of our baby and will definitely use her again in the future!!”

4. Robert B.
About: I've been lucky to have some of the best dogs in the world in my life. Eric was a mixed shepherd and boarder collie. Karma was a pure bread standard poodle. They were both perfectly trained, great company and listened better than my children. I miss them terribly but both lived full lives. We lost Karma 4 years ago at age 16, My heart still aches. I am semi retired and have a very flexible schedule. My wife is an artist and I am a writer and retirement consultant which provides us both with the flexibility we need to live a full life . I have a fenced yard, and seldom leave a dog alone outside. Living on a quiet residential street provides a great low-traffic walking route. We are only 3 miles from the beach if the owner would like to give their pet the treat of sand and salt air.

13. Suzanne G.

“We are so thankful that our first experience using Rover and a dog sitter was with Suzanne. We had never left our dogs with anyone other than family or let someone stay in our home before booking with Suzanne for the first time. She kept us up to date with messages and pictures while we were away and left our home as she found. Most importantly our two dogs well taken care of. We will most certainly be booking with her again.”

About: I've been taking care of animals more than 10 years. I've taken a little bit of a break, but I am now back! I love animals and truly enjoy looking after them. I love connecting with them and getting to know them and their personalities. Once you learn their likes, and dislikes their little personalities I believe is what makes them so special. I've been around animals practically my whole life and I believe that anyone who has a pet, truly know how much of a blessing they are, and what joy they bring into our lives. They are always happy and loyal. I am always happy and loyal as well, and I will treat and care for your pet as if it were my own and I truly mean that! I have years of experience, including training and administering medications. I have experience with both senior dogs and cats, as well as puppy experience. If you have any issues with training your dog, I am your gal. I am pretty open just require a days' notice. I am in the Westhampton area and prefer to travel within a 20-mile radius.

If more time in needed, please feel free to contact me so that we can discuss as I will offer discount on my fees.

17. Risa S.


“Risa was so easy to coordinate with. She watched my 2 frenchies - one of them just 2 months old! I was so nervous about leaving them for a wedding but Risa was a pro. Would absolutely work with her again.”


18. Alexandrea V.
“Alexandrea is highly recommended as pet/dog sitter. She loves all pets and enjoys spending time with them. She is very compassionate and animals respond to her and get excited when she enters a room. She has a big heart and goes above and beyond to make pets feel loved. She has watched my dog and two cats several times and they hate to see her leave.”


19. Chris D.

“Chris is awesome! He was so easy to communicate with and you can tell he really loves dogs. I do not trust my dog with anyone outside the family, but I do trust him with Chris for 2 most important reasons. He has health issues and needs medication, and he is a runner. Being a Hound, he can even get away from me! It is very difficult to keep him safe. I trust Chris with him totally. I can rest easy when he is with Chris, and I do not have to worry about him being in a crate all day. Thank You Chris for being there for us!”


20. Carey V.
“Carey has watched our dog, Bear, on a number of occasions and she is our go to if we need help. She is reliable, trustworthy and pet friendly. The clincher is that Bear loves her - dogs know :) I do not hesitate in recommending her.”
