House Sitting in Dunellen

“Hadija is an outstanding dog and house sitter! We are so grateful for her thoughtful and kind care she gave to our dog, Edna. We had to book a dog sitter on short notice over a holiday weekend and we couldn’t have been luckier that Hadija was able to watch Edna last minute! She sent us regular video updates and made sure Edna kept to her usual routine. It was a relief to be able to travel and know that our dog was so well cared for. We highly recommend Hadija for dog/house sitting. She was also a very courteous house guest.”

“Samantha was fantastic with our two large dogs! Rai is blind and Sugar is still a puppy. She managed them both well, was attentive and responsive to our concerns. We will absolutely have her back to stay with them.”

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.

About: Hello and welcome! My name is Chelsea and I have an extensive background in doggy daycare services and volunteer shelter support! My qualifications extend to fur babies of the dog and cat variety. You can count on my calm demeanor translating to animals with anxiety concerns & medication needs. I look forward to speaking with you regarding how I can fufill your caretaking needs! Please see calendar for updates. Afternoons and weekends are my main availability, but I do have some time off where my schedule is more open. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on creating a calm and familiar environment to keep them happy and stress-free. I maintain their regular feeding schedule, ensure fresh water is always available, and take care of any medication needs with careful attention. I love engaging pets with playtime, walks, and plenty of affection—always respecting each pet's unique personality and comfort level. I also keep their living space tidy, clean up litter boxes or backyard areas, and provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you're away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and right at home until you return.

“Brittany was amazing with my dog Roo! She was able to watch her last minute due to travel plans changing and provided me with tons of updates. Roo is a little quirky and is on the anxious side but brittany made sure to give her plenty of love and attention.”

“Laura was wonderful! She's extremely experienced, capable, competent, and knowledgable. My little guy (Julius, a cat) usually has bad separation anxiety, but he did wonderfully with Laura when she stayed in my apartment with him for two weeks. I highly recommend Laura as a sitter for any animal!”

“Jaden did an amazing job with Zipper. She kept us posted every day and sent us pictures of our dog. When we came back Zipper was very happy and I am sure Zipper is missing Jaden already. I would 100% recommend Jaden and I will use her services again.”

“We had Dulce come to our place during the day and stay with Bruno while I was away for a few days. She was so good with my boy he absolutely loved her! She walked him twice a day for a good while and played with him and gave him lots of cuddles! Highly recommend considering her to take care of your fur babies! She’ll be the first I reach out to in the future! Thankyou for everything!”

“Marissa watched our dog and my daughter’s dog say my home. She was wonderful with them. They’re both a handful seperately so together just imagine. I felt confident and was able to relax and have a good time. I plan to book her again.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since high school! Was never lucky enough to have one for myself, but that’s what makes petsitting so special for me. I love spending time with animals and I truly value the time spent while petsitting! I have currently been petsitting a 1 yr old Staffy/bully mix since she was just a few months old and I love her! I am a full time lab technician and have flexible hours to watch over your furbabies! I have a full time job that is very flexible with my hours. I work as a lab technician so it has taught me to be detail oriented, punctual, and patient. I am free outside of work and would love to occupy my time, whenever need be, to help someone else who needs help watching their dog or cat! My biggest worry is not letting your furbabies run loose! I always check my surroundings before entering a home and be cautious so that no animal runs out or gets hurt in the process. While taking care of pets it is easy to let them run wild and have fun, but we can also do so without making the home messy! I will treat anyones dog or cat as my own, as well as make sure that I leave a home the way it was when coming in.

About: I have been an animal lover since my early years as a child. I got my first puppy when I was 5 years old and fell in love with dogs ever since, and when I was 10 I got my first cat. I am available in the schedule: Sunday to Monday from 7am to 10-11pm, but I also work at night from 8pm to 6-7am, or the time you need I usually work at my clients' home because where I live is very small and I think your pet will feel more comfortable in its own space

About: My baby is 5 years old currently and I adore her, sitting for others allows her to make new friends. I have gone through training with her. I currenrly work as a substitute, and can pick up jobs when ever I am not busy. So I am pretty much home all day. We will definately partake in long walks, there is a dog park at my complex that is fenced in to get the zoomies out. I will always spend an ample amount of time with your pet so they are not alone.

About: For the past 12 years, I've showered furry friends of all ages with love! From playful pups mastering potty training to cherished senior companions needing extra TLC, I'm experienced in meeting the unique needs of every dog. Unlike other sitters, I cater to individual personalities, ensuring a happy and comfortable stay for your precious pup. My passion for animals is clear – their comfort and happiness are my top priorities. You can trust that with me, your furry friend is in loving hands. My goal is to create a relaxing, safe and fun space for your little one so they can enjoy their own vacation while you’re away. Graduate student with a heart for pups! I offer daily walks and playtime for your furry friend. My flexible schedule, combining graduate studies and part-time work, allows me to give your dog the dedicated attention they deserve throughout the day. Your pup will have a safe haven to explore in my fully fenced-in backyard! They'll have plenty of playtime with my four friendly, senior pups, who are both playful and cuddly companions. Plus, with no smoke or small children in the house, your furry friend can relax in a calm and peaceful environment. Knowing how important our furry friends are, I'm happy to send daily selfies and welcome your constant check-ins. After all, I understand how much you miss your dog, and I'd miss mine too!

“Connie did a great job taking care of our cat, Marvel, while we were away for one week. It was the first time Marvel was pet sat without her sister, Tasha, our dog who recently passed. Through this adjustment, Marvel certainly gave Connie a run for her money, but Connie made sure she was handled with care. We appreciated Connie's communication and commitment, and we hope to work with her again in the future. Thank you, Connie!!”
