House Sitting in Berkeley Heights

“Hadija did a great job taking care of our precious Max. She arrived promptly on time and followed all of our instructions. She communicated with us regularly by sending us updates as well as pictures and videos of Max. Max enjoyed playing fetch with her and it seemed like he really took to her. I would certainly recommend Hadija to take care of your pets.”

About: I'm a pet-loving mother of four with three children in college—and enjoying the wonderful pets I have met through this site. I have lived in Scotch Plains for almost 15 years. I watch several dogs regularly on a private basis and am excited to be part of the Rover community. I grew up with a beloved menagerie that included three cats, two beloved dachshunds and a poodle and have enjoyed watching a variety of dogs, including a bulldog, a French bulldog, a Bernese, a labradoodle, and, of course, mixed breeds. I love walking and daily yoga and look forward to helping your pets get the fresh air, activity and affection they need when you are working or otherwise busy. I am a freelance writer with a flexible schedule and have time for walks and visits before or after work and at lunchtime. Having raised a family, I know how important it is to have a pet sitter who is mature and reliable and understands how deeply you love your pets--and am honored to assist you in keeping them happy and healthy. While I would love to help every pet, I am petite, so my ideal sized pets are under 50 pounds. I am a freelance writer with a flexible schedule and my own car. I rise early every day, and I am often available on weekends. I am often available at lunch time to clients who need their dogs walked mid day. I am a mature, reliable and organized mother of four and will treat your beloved and adorable pet like a member of my own family.

“Due to unforeseen circumstances, we booked Angelica at the last minute. Luckily, she was available and flexible enough to arrive at 6am and take care of Archie all day. Communication was excellent, and Angelica sent pics throughout the day. Will definitely book Angelica again.”

About: I have several years of tending to dogs and cats, (as well as some birds) of all ages, sizes and temperaments. I’m comfortable handling potentially difficult dogs and cats, regardless of age and/or disabilities. I have also worked at Morris Animal Inn and currently work at a vet clinic while I prepare to go to vet school. I have a cat of my own, Forrest who I love very dearly. I can also administer medications orally, topically, and subcutaneously. I can monitor all bathroom trips for stool and urine output, give baths, clips nails, or clean out ears if needed. I also take the BEST pictures of pets and can give you updates whenever you’d like :) At the moment, I am currently working full time at a vet clinic, but most weekends I am off or get out early. Im currently available most Friday afternoons to Sundays nights as well as most Tuesdays. Im also flexible to work other days circumstantially. I have a formerly feral cat at home who is now an indoor-only cat that I adopted from my current job. I feed him twice daily as well as clean his litter box morning’s and evenings. He is up to date on all of his exams and shots, and is also on a hydrolyzed diet since he has some food allergies. Additionally I make sure to keep his nails short since he loves to make biscuits on my face :)

“Very attentive to our pup and proactive on communication”

“This was my first time using Rover, and also the first time leaving my 4 month old kittens overnight. Lana was great! Shes super friendly and nice! The kittens loved her and she sent lots of photos to let me know they were okay and happy! I would definitely use Lana again!!”

“Kim was a lifesaver! We needed a sitter last minute for our pups as we were traveling to Italy. She wrote down notes for each of the puppies during the house visit and was confident the care she would provide them. She was attentive to their and our needs. She kept us informed throughout our trip and was able to understand their personalities. The pups gravitated towards her and felt comfortable. I would definitely reach out to her again!”

“Luis did a great job looking after our two dogs. He was responsive and clear with communication, and was sensitive in meeting the needs of our dogs. We would happily use his services again.”

Darren L.

“Susanna is a perfect dog/house sitter! She took great care of our boys, left our house looking as we left it, and was super considerate of reaching out with questions. I would highly recommend her for anyone who needs someone they can trust to watch their pups!”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by all kinds of pets and love caring for them. Over the years, I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors with their pets—whether it’s feeding, bathing, walking, cleaning up, or just spending time playing and giving them attention. I’m comfortable with all aspects of pet care and always treat every animal like they’re my own. I’m currently a commuter student, and i only have class 3 days a week. So I’m able to fit pet care very flexibly into my schedule! I will always make sure to make time your your animals. I follow each pet’s routine to keep them comfortable, making sure they’re fed, walked, cleaned up after, and given plenty of play and attention. My priority is keeping them safe, happy, and loved in your home.

“Linda was wonderful to work with and took amazing care of our home, 3 dogs and kitten. She was easy to communicate with. Linda was so sweet and took extra time and had great patience with our grumpy older dachshund. 5 stars!!!”

“MaKenna took excellent care of our furry family while we were out of the country. She was great at communicating and providing photos. She was thorough with providing our Daisy her meds and getting to know Daisy, even though she's a bit shy. And Winnie and MaKenna seemed to click right away. It was clear by the photos that both animals had a great time!”

About: I have been proud to be a shih tzu owner for 3 years with my family. I have also been pet sitting and walking since I was 12 I walk and feed my dog on a daily basis. I also play with him during my free time and weather permitting, take him to the dog park I currently live in an apartment while occasionally staying at my parents house. I make sure to give them the care they need and show them how much they are loved.

“Mike was so great! He came in clutch last minute, was communicative and I can tell our girls were well taken care of! We would definitely book with him again, and we highly recommend him!”

Monica R.

“Dulce is fantastic! We have booked with her multiple times - this visit being the longest overnight. She is patient with our two dogs and very attentive. I highly recommend Dulce!”

Kristi J.

“We had such a great experience with Kayla. Our dog struggles with separation anxiety, but Kayla did such a great job to calm his nerves. She was very patient with him and went out of her way to do a meet and greet prior to the appointment. He had such a good time! Highly recommend.”

About: I have worked for K9 resorts for about 3 years now, I clean for them, feed them, take them out to play and use the bathroom, and watch over the dogs in the daycare, sometimes 100+ dogs at a time. In addition, family members have always come to me to watch their dogs when they go away, I have many years experience sitting dogs, have been since as long as I can remember. Last but not least my dogs! I have never been without a dog in my house, aside from all my experience outside the house I've been taking care of and walking dogs my whole life. Because of this I consider myself a very experienced dog caretaker/sitter as well as walker. I currently work 6 days a week, for every day except Thursday, my work schedule is 1-7, any of those days I am available for sitting or walking before 12:30pm and after 7:30pm I make sure I know where the dog(s) is/are at all times. Depending on their personality, as I know some dogs may be a bit crazy and some are much more relaxed I would care for them accordingly, like my dog some may love the attention, I can play with the dogs and show them some love, for a more nervous dog I’m no stranger to taking it slow, many dogs at my job can be very nervous and it’s important to know how to approach them as I do. The crazier dogs may need to get some energy out by playing, walking, etc. As for walking the dogs, I am always aware of cars or other dogs/people incase the dog isn’t dog friendly or sometimes people friendly.

About: I’ve had dogs in my home since I was 4 years old, so caring for pets has always been second nature to me. Beyond my personal experience, I’ve also worked at multiple pet shelters in both New Jersey and Arizona, where I cared for animals of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Whether it’s a high-energy pup or a shy senior dog, I know how to create a calm, loving, and safe environment. I treat every pet like family and always go the extra mile to make sure they feel happy and comfortable while you’re away. I’m currently home from Arizona State University and have a very open and flexible schedule. Whether your pet needs early morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight care, I’m available and ready to help. I can easily accommodate last-minute requests and am committed to giving your pet consistent attention and care throughout the day. I prioritize safety by following each pet’s routine and needs closely, whether in my home or yours. I keep a calm, clean, and secure environment and always communicate clearly with pet parents. Your pet’s comfort and well-being are my top priorities, and I treat every home with respect and care.

About: I have always had small dogs growing up and got my own dog 5 years ago. I have watched my neighbors and family members dogs and cats of all sizes. I care for these animals like I would want my dog to be cared for. I’m very compassionate and detail oriented. I will do whatever the owner instructs and provide updates with pictures. I have 2 part time jobs currently so I have random time gaps throughout the day to fill. I will be starting graduate school in September and will also still have some random time gaps throughout the day and I’m looking to fill them with some animal love. I pay close attention to details left by owners about their pets care plan. I treat every animal with love and compassion like they are my own pet. I care for pets like I with the same high standards I have for anyone who cares my own pet. I provide updates and pictures while I’m caring for pets so the owners know their animal is safe and in good hands.

“Sheila was wonderful! We were able to relax & enjoy our time away knowing the pups were in good hands with her. She sent pics & we came home to happy pups! Will book her again! Thanks Sheila!”
