House Sitting in Florham Park

“Gabby was a great sitter for our Maxey girl. Maxey is 3 months old so she is a lot of work right now and Gabby did a great job watching her for 3 nights! We came home to a happy pup :)”

“Showed up on time, good attitude, was very attentive to my dog. Walked him, played with him, sent pictures. I would not hesitate to rehire her”

About: My journey with animals started over 13 years ago with my family cat, who taught me the importance of subtle body language and the specialized care that any pet requires. This lifelong bond grew into a passion for helping others, leading me to become the go-to sitter for my neighbors' dogs and cats for several years. What sets me apart: • Multi-Species Fluency: I currently look after both a cat and a dog daily. I understand the "odd couple" dynamic and know how to balance the high-energy needs of a dog with the boundaries and quiet requirements of a cat. • Reliability & Trust: My neighbors have trusted me with their home keys and their furry family members for years. I pride myself on being punctual, following specific feeding/medication instructions to the letter, and keeping a tidy space. • I know what it’s like to be in your shoes: As a pet owner myself, I also have looked for sitters and know the level of care and attentiveness that I seek for. It’s a classic example of upholding the standards that I want to see myself As a hybrid employee, my schedule is more flexible and can be naturally structured around consistent walking and feeding times. Whether I'm at home or visiting yours, I treat my pet-sitting requests as the priority of my day In my home, pets enjoy a safe, supervised environment where their existing feeding and sleep schedules are strictly followed. In your home, I prioritize security and maintaining your pet's sense of normalcy. Whether it’s rigorous playtime for dogs or quiet companionship for cats, I provide consistent updates and photos so you can see your pet is happy, safe, and loved. I treat every home with respect and every pet like they’re my own because I get it. I’ve been in your shoes as someone looking for a sitter

“Why are there only 5 stars? I give Daniela 10 Stars!! I was impressed with her right from initial contact. I really appreciated her thorough approach both from the initial phone call as well as the meet and greet visit. She really took her time to meet and greet with all of my dogs and asked very detailed questions about their needs/care. During her stay, she provided such a level of care, that included reaching out to me to let me know one of my pups injured her nail and was genuinely concerned about her being in pain. She went out of her way to take her to the vet and made sure to inform me of the follow up care. She makes sure to provide updates and communicates throughout her stay. I really appreciated coming home to happy pups and a home that was well cared for. Daniela goes above and beyond in all ways and highly recommend her. Leaving my pups is very stressful for me and I am so grateful that I can leave them in her care without stress and worry. Thank you so much Daniela!”

“This was our very first time using Rover, and as extremely overprotective dog parents, we were definitely nervous. But Brad was absolutely amazing from start to finish. He eased our minds with daily updates, complete with photos and videos that showed just how well our dog was doing! We also had a Fi tracker on his collar and it was so reassuring to see how many walks and steps he was getting. Brad took him out so often, even more than our normal routine! Our dog occasionally gets so excited that he’ll throw up if he hasn’t eaten in a while, and when it happened, Brad immediately texted us, cleaned it up, and made sure he ate and drank after. His communication was quick, calm, and thoughtful, which helped us feel totally at ease. It was clear our dog was incredibly well cared for — he got plenty of walks, playtime with his toys, and lots of attention. Honestly, he looked sad when Brad left! Brad also left our home neat and spotless, which we really appreciated. We feel like we hit the jackpot with Brad. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better to take care of our fur baby, and we’d recommend him to absolutely anyone. We hope to book with him again!”

About: I have had 2 small dogs for about 14 years now that I have loved and cared for since they were puppies. I volunteered at a local animal shelter in the cattery and kitten nursery where I cleaned cages, fed, and comforted the cats and kittens. I have also fostered 3 kittens until they found their forever homes. I have been taking care of many friends and families pets over the past few years and would love to help others as well now! I have a very flexible full time work from home career that I can do from anywhere so I can stay home with your pets and care for them throughout the day. I am open to doing whatever is needed or requested. I can be accommodating to make sure clients are happy and pets are well cared for.

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.

“Kayla was fantastic for watching my 2 pups and kitties while away. She was super receptive to their little quirks (including walking them outside on leashes in the yard during the rain because they think they’re sugar and going to melt, and would not go out!). I would definitely recommend using Kayla and plan on booking her again when she is available.”

“We could not be more grateful for Raechel’s flexibility and communication the last week as we navigated finding pet care for a last-minute funeral. We returned home to a spotless house and happy, well cared for pets - with the TV turned on to one of their favorite programs, a detail that made us so happy. We will absolutely be booking with Raechel again!”

“Grace watched our senior pup for a week. He is very boring to watch - he just likes to sleep and hang out (no walks or play - too old for that nonsense anymore lol) Jett is very particular who he likes and he was lying next to Grace by the end of the week! WOW! We are so happy with Grace - always kept us updated on our little guy and was reliable and took care of Jett perfectly! Highly recommend, Grace to watch your babies!”

Ready to stay active and go on a run or give them all the pets they need and let them nap! Up to the pup or kitty!

I will take care of your pet as you wish! First, we would establish important health need-to-knows, routines, ground rules, do’s and don’t’s, then I’d be able make sure everyone is comfortable and clear about your pet’s needs.

“Breanna and Myah are amazing sitters and cared for our pups with so much love and attentiveness we are just so grateful! The multiple daily updates and photos were so nice! I would highly recommend them! We already have them booked again for our next trip as well aa some daytime drop ins.”

“Valeria (Val) stepped in last minute for a 3-night overnight stay and was fantastic. She was communicative, flexible and sent daily photo updates, which provided peace of mind. She handled all morning and night walks, followed all care instructions, kept everything clean (water bowls filled, litter box scooped, home tidy), and clearly cared for my pets like her own. Reliable, responsive and easy to work with; I would book again.”

About: New to Rover, but not to pets! I’m offering an introductory rate while I build up my reviews on the platform. See my background in professional pet care below! I bring over three years of professional experience from multiple dog boarding and daycare facilities, in addition to living with my own furry family members since childhood. This background gives me both the technical skills to handle logistics - from managing high-energy playgroups to following strict feeding, and cleaning protocols - and the genuine heart to treat every guest like one of my own. My time at D.A.R.G. (Domestic Animal Rescue Group) in South Africa further sharpened my ability to connect with animals from all walks of life. Special Skills: Medical & Senior Care: I am comfortable and experienced in administering medications. Behavioral Awareness: Having worked with challenging temperaments and diverse energy levels, I know how to read body language and provide the right environment for shy, reactive, or high-energy pets. Cat Specialist: I understand that cats are unique. I approach them with patience and respect - always on their terms - ensuring they feel secure in their own space. Training Basics: I can reinforce basic commands and maintain the structure you’ve already established for your pet. ✨ Why Pet Owners Choose Me • Experienced with both dogs and cats • Comfortable with a wide range of personalities and behaviors • Patient and attentive - great with shy, energetic, or more sensitive pets • Able to administer medications if needed • Reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented • You’ll always receive updates and photos! 📸 Pet care is a consistent part of my daily life. Whether I’m caring for my own pets or helping out friends, I prioritize routine and reliability. My current schedule allows me the flexibility to provide dedicated check-ins, walks, and attentive overnight care. Because I’m used to the fast-paced environment of professional daycares, I’m excellent at time management and ensuring every "potty break" and meal happens right on time. My priority is making sure your pet feels secure and loved while you’re away. When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same respect I show your pets. My Safety Protocol: Detailed Updates: You’ll receive regular updates with photos and videos so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. Routine-Focused: I mirror your pet's existing schedule to minimize any "vacation anxiety." Attentive & Alert: My background in professional boarding has trained me to be hyper-aware of environmental hazards and subtle changes in a pet's behavior or health. Calm Presence: I provide a peaceful environment for more sensitive animals while offering fun, active engagement for those who need to burn off energy.

About: Hello, I go by V. I am currently looking for a full time job and am walking dogs in the interim. My schedule is a bit full at the moment, so I cannot take on new clients that need services daily. An animal’s wellbeing is my highest priority when they are in my care. I take them out every couple hours if they are antsy and am happy to play, cuddle, and give them my attention. Ultimately, I just love to see tails wagging :) Right now, I am doing pet care full time. Weekday afternoons are all booked up, but I have some available time slots in the mornings and evenings. Weekends I have most of the day open. Please message me with any questions. While my dog Frosty is very gentle with humans, he is not friendly towards other dogs, so I am unable to host animals in my own home. I can take out your pets for frequent walks or keep them entertained inside, whichever you prefer. My only caveat is that I am asthmatic so I have trouble keeping up with a dog that requires a lot of running or walks around a hilly neighborhood.

“So fortunate to have found Olivia. She is the BEST!! She has kept me updated on Buzz throughout the weekend with texts, pictures and even videos. I have already asked her to stay with him again. There is nothing she could have done better and deserved a 5+++ star rating.”

“Katie took great care of my husky! This was a last minute booking due to a change of plans. She kept me updated and was flexible with my schedule. Highly recommend.”

About: I've been the go-to catsitter among my family and friends since elementary school ! I've worked with indoor cats, outdoor cats, spicy cats, and kittens. I can adjust to your cat's every need ! Though I've mainly cared for cats, I also have experience with more exotic pets like fish, geckos, and tarantulas. I have a 30gal fish tank of my own ! I don't have another job at the moment, so I am available at any time. I will update days of unavailability as soon as possible. I'm very patient so if your pet isn't very trusting of new people, that's okay ! On the flipside, if your pet wants a friend then I can stick around !

“Annett was amazing and took such good care of our 2 boys while we were away. She sent videos and pics during her stay which was awesome too. I plan to have Annett come again.”

About: I am a huge animal lover! I especially love dogs and have always read up on different breeds since I was in 3rd grade. I’ve had a German shepherd, boxer, shih tzu and currently have a husky and chow chow. I’m experienced with basic puppy training and am super patient. I also have tons of toys your pup can play with and can bring my other dogs to my house for a playdate if you’d like. (My parents live in the same town and can take my dogs if your pet needs to be the only pet in the house) I have mind stimulating games with treats for dogs, I have lick mats and love to feed my pets homemade frozen green yogurt and peanut butter treats. Your pet will be loved unconditionally and smothered with pets and kisses or just left alone since some pets are more independent. I will send you as many pictures/videos as you’d like and keep you updated throughout the day. I’ve been on your side so I understand the importance of knowing how your pet is doing throughout the day, I KNOW how relieving it is to receive a picture/video to make sure your pet is doing well. I work fully remote as a data analyst. I’m able to take your pet out on multiple walks as well as play outside most of the day. :) I have a fenced yard and can bring over my dogs from my parents house if you want your pup to have a play date! I have experience caring for dogs that need medicine as my dog has kidney disease. I’m experienced in administering medicine. Please let me know if your dog has any dietary restrictions. I like to have different kinds of treats on hand.
