Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Forest Hill, Newark, NJ

“Kelly is the absolute best. This was our first time on Rover, and her communications were clear and quick, and she did great work reassuring us that our pup was in good hands. Loved the photographs, and really appreciated the time she took to communicate with us by phone and by text. We’re only slightly concerned that our pup now likes her more than us! 😀 Hugely impressed with Kelly - she’ll take fab care of your pups.”

“Deliris was very communicative and accommodating with taking care of our cats; I never once worried about them in her care! She sends great pictures and very detailed updates. I recommend choosing her to sit your babies!”

Marc G.

“Molly was very attentive with my three cats. She sent lots of pictures and made sure their litter was clean every day! Molly went above and beyond ! Highly recommend Molly!”

Misty L.

“Carmen was absolutely fantastic with our bully babies. She was very detailed in her report cards and took very good care of our dogs during their drop in visits. Lots of pictures. We’ve used a couple different sitters over the years but Carmen by far has been the best. Can’t thank her enough and look forward to using her again in the future”

Dan K.

“Tom showed up on time and quickly got acquainted with our doggies. Doggies warmed up to him quickly. He spent some time with them as we will need him for future visits. He seems to be truly caring for furry friends.”

Lou G.

“Jadis was wonderful! Very kind and very reliable.”

Emily K.

“Laura did a great job and gave me real peace of mind when I was on vacation. We had very hot weather and I appreciated her letting me know that the house temperature was cool and they had plenty of water”

Krista M.

“Jade was incredible with my cat Daphne! She sent lots of pictures and videos and gave great updates. She spent lots of quality time with her and I came home to a very content kitty :)”

Marrakech C.

“Kayla was absolutely WONDERFUL with our two cats. Our cats are still acclimating to one another, and not only did she spend time with each of them but she did an amazing job at having them play together, listening to them if they had enough, and overall giving them many positive bonding experiences with each other. I also have a much more involved feeding routine/schedule for them than most people, and she followed everything perfectly. I always looked forward to her reports and pictures, and she was very thorough on her stay and how the cats were acting/feeling. I'm 100% sure they will miss her (especially Filo) and I will definitely call on Kayla again in the future!”

Sheila D.

“Irisdelie was amazing, great communication and so so wonderful with my cats. Provided great updates with adorable pictures after each visit. I felt very comfortable and happy knowing my babes were being well cared for and loved while I was away.”

Amanda S.

“Super friendly and attentive! My kitty is always upset when I'm gone but I could tell Jamie-Ann made him very happy by showering him with attention and care. I really appreciated all the photos and videos too, that made me so happy! This was my first time using Rover and it was a positive experience. I will definitely ask Jamie-Ann to pet-sit for my cat again.”

Rachel B.

“Nima was so accommodating to Xola needs! I loved her energy and I could tell that Xola enjoyed it too! Thank you so much for helping with my last minute request and I will definitely be booking in the future! 🦋”

About: I have experience with every kind of aged fur babies for 13 years. I’ve always enjoyed caring for animals since a young girl. I have multiple friends and family who rely on me to walk, feed, board and bathe their pets! I currently do online classes from home for Vet Technician. I have plenty of time to watch and play with your pup! I am available daily and even on call! I have three pups who are friendly with other dogs and would have a great day with one another. I have a huge home with plenty of space to provide care for your fur baby. I have a nice block to walk as needed for the care of your pup!

About: Our Why? We have Huskies, and while still offering our service to other breeds, we highlight that it takes a fellow Husky owner to understand what a Husky needs. Despite their mischievous shenanigans, Houdini escape attempts, endless fur-sheddings, high-pitched vocalizations, bubbly, energized personalities, and hyperactive frolicking, we adore huskies. We understand finding experienced, dependable, loving, and trustworthy caregivers for your Husky isn't easy. That's why we are here to help. We currently have two friendly young huskies (one male and one female- fixed and crate-trained). We also have experience with English bulldogs, Sharpeis, Chow-Chows, Labs, Doodles, and Boxers. We only offer care for dogs based upon the comfortability of the match to our pet-care style and demeanor. We love our pets as we will love yours. We are focused on weekends, holidays, and summer care. We are open to possible weekday arrangements if your dog is crate-trained. Before booking us, a drop-by visit is required to test the compatibility of all humans and dogs. A few things: Special note-while we have never owned a French bulldog, we are particularly interested in learning to care for this breed. Your pet must be spayed or nurtured to receive boarding in our home. Also, we are sorry but we cannot offer care for full or mixed Pit Bull breeds. How does pet care fit into your daily and weekly lives? Our pets receive two meals a day, comprising dry food and water. Our pets are crate-trained and remain crated when owners are away. Most of the time, there is an adult in the house. Our dogs can access a large fenced backyard with green grass and trees. Our dogs walk with owners through nearby Branch Brooke Park and visit the dog park almost daily. Our dogs are crated during adult meal times and sleep in the main bedroom on the floor, side couch, or end of bed at night. We maintain a clean home and provide puppy pads during inclement weather to avoid mud and chaos. Pets have access to some rooms, but not all rooms in the house. Toys and treats are provided regularly. Linens on beds where animals may sleep are washed and switched out regularly. Our gate is blocked off on both sides because huskies are known for escaping. Our pets have ID collars and ID dog tags and wear GPS trackers during the day. Our dogs are up-to-date on immunizations and have been spayed/neutered. We don't hit our dogs with our hands or objects but use basic word commands. Training dogs is always a work in progress. They are both loved for their uniqueness. We only plan to care for pets in our home. We have a large and welcoming home.

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was 5 years old, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I genuinely consider myself a dog whisperer- dogs tend to gravitate towards me, even the shy and anxious ones. Over the years, I’ve cared for dog of all sizes and energy levels, and I pride myself on creating a calm, nurturing and loving environment where they feel happy and safe. Whether it’s a walk, playtime or just quiet companionship, I tune into each dog’s unique personality and needs. I work a 9-5 hybrid job, which gives me the flexibility to provide pet care in the evenings and on the weekends. This works well for pet parents heading out for dinner, date nights, or weekend getaways. I’m reliable, responsive and always make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve. My Shih-poo is my pride and joy - he goes everywhere with me, even in the office! I treat him like a member of the family, and I extend that same love and care to every pet. I maintain a calm, clean and pet friendly environment, where animals feel safe and loved. I’ve even trained my pup to use communication buttons and speak to him in full sentences! So I’m very tuned into a dog’s needs and emotions whether it’s playtime, cuddles or companionship and make sure each dog feels right at home.

“Marli was amazing with my critters. My cat needed injectable medication administration and Marli was a champ (her being an ex vet tech helps :)). Thank you for taking good care of my boys.”

About: I've had the pleasure of having 2 amazing Labradors in my life, my amazing family dog Kathie whom passed away a few years ago and my beautiful black lab Siara who is a wild one but I love her so much. I absolutely love animals and I would take care of your baby like they were my own. I'm so excited for you to bring your precious joy into my home and into my loving arms. They'll have me and my baby girl Siara to keep them company. Again, your baby will be happy and loved, I guarantee it. I currently have a full time job so I would be taking care of your baby before or after my shift and on my days off. My priority is to make your life easier and your baby happy. 🐕‍🦺🐾❤️ I currently have a full time job so I would be taking care of your baby before or after my shift and on my days off. Any other time, my mom will help me out. So your baby will have me and my amazing mom. My priority is to make your life easier and your baby happy. I am someone who lets their dog sit and lay on the couch but not the bed so your pet will definitely be comfy during the day and I’ll have a dog bed ready for them during the night. I will give them their food as you request and take them on all the walks they need. My dog Siara loves to play so there will definitely be play time with the dogs unless you state otherwise. I have a set bed time for my dog which is the latest 11P, she does need her beauty sleep after all so if you’re selecting the boarding option and 11P is good for your dog to sleep , then perfect .. if not, feel free to let me know what their sleeping schedule is. My goal is to keep their schedule as closely aligned to their everyday life at home.

About: Hi, my name is Joselyn and I’m 21 years old. I grew up with a chihuahua and a cat who brought so much joy to my life. I also cared for community cats in my old neighborhood, so animals have always been close to my heart. While my chihuahua now lives with my mom, it gives me more space to focus fully on pets I care for through Rover. I live near Branch Brook Park, a perfect spot for walks and playtime. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or keeping your pets company at your place, I’d be happy to help. For drop-in visits, I’ll make sure your pet is fed, has fresh water, and gets a potty break (plus cuddles or playtime!). If you’d like a full walk for extra exercise, please book a Dog Walking service separately so I can give them the time and attention they deserve. Your pets will always be cared for with love, patience, and fun. ❤️ I work early mornings, which means I’m home and available most afternoons and evenings to spend time with your pets. Since I’m not in school right now, I have plenty of energy and flexibility to give them the care and attention they need. Your pet’s safety is always my first priority. I’m patient and gentle, and I make sure every walk is safe and every visit feels comfortable. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine from feeding schedules to any special needs so they feel at home even when you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet company, I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own.
