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.
“Very attentive to our pup and proactive on communication”
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 :)

“Emma stayed in our home to care for our two pups, she was very thorough and did an excellent job! She was responsive and stayed in touch, as well as sent pics and videos. We will definitely be using Emma again to care for our girls.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was 10 years old. I started dog sitting for my neighbor and fell in love with dog sitting/dog walking. I love being around dogs & being able to care for them. I am working full-time Monday through Thursday and I am pretty flexible to take care of your pets on the weekends. I volunteer as an EMT on the weekends but I am able to work around that schedule. I’ve had a dog ever since I was born. When I was born, my parents had a yellow lab named Hudson who I absolutely adored. I enjoyed feeding him, playing with him, and enjoyed walking him (with some help). Shortly after Hudson passed, we got Roxy - our 16 year old cockapoo who we recently had to put down. Ever since Roxy was a puppy, I enjoyed taking walks with her, playing with her, and relaxing with her. She was my best friend and I was usually the person who was in charge of taking her out for walks and to go to the bathroom.

Long Hill pet parents share their Rover experiences
I cannot rave enough about Svetlana. She saved the day and took care of my mom’s 15 year old dog, Rosie, so my mother could go to my brother’s wedding. She is an angel!
Emma did a great job watching our dog this weekend at our house. She sent many updates and left our house clean- much appreciated!
We couldn’t be more grateful to Quinn for the incredible care she gave our older dog while we were away. From the start, she was kind, attentive, and truly caring — it was clear she treated our dog like her own. Quinn took the time to understand her needs and routine, and her thoughtful updates gave us so much peace of mind while we were gone. Our dog is older and Quinn handled everything with such patience and love. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog — a true testament to the wonderful care Riley received. Highly recommend Quinn to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate sitter!
Appreciated the updates and pictures. Dogs were well cared for and looked like they had a great time!
Ashley has been such a great, consistent sitter for our pup. She is prompt in her responses, always on time, and keeps us informed throughout. We never have to worry when she's watching our baby...we know she's in good hands. It's such a relief to have a sitter we can rely on! We're so lucky to have found her & would highly recommend her!
Heidi took great care of Lacy and our house. We will definitely use her in the future and recommend her to anyone!
Katie did a great job taking care of my cat and apartment while I was gone. She was also very cheerful and easy to communicate with. I would recommend her to another pet owner
