“Paola did a great job. She did everything that was requested to look after my cat, Trixie. Trixie would be fine either way so this was more about me and my neuroses. Paola showed up as scheduled to feed and water Trixie. She also sent pics so I could see how Trixie was doing. This is definitely the way to go and Paola was the right choice. Paola was respectful of my home and cat. With Paola’s help, I was able to enjoy my weekend away.”

“Alissa is excellent and our cat loves her! We just moved to the area and this is our first time having Alissa sitting our cat. The cat is usually very shy with strangers, but somehow he loves Alissa a lot.

And we will definitely work with her again on our next vacation.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs and pets for people since I was in high school. I grew up with dogs and all kinds of different animals. I currently walk some dogs during the week, looking to add some more . I am available for walks and drop ins weekdays from 10:30am-3:00pm I am experienced in giving different medication (pills and insulin). I can easily crate your dog if needed.

About: Hi, I’m Jill! For years, I’ve been a devoted companion to animals of all kinds - cats, dogs, birds, guinea pigs, fish, reptiles, and even an axolotl! As a lifelong pet owner, experienced pet sitter, and dog walker, I understand each pet needs personalized care and attention. Whether it’s a puppy or kitten who needs extra engagement or a senior pet who thrives on gentle company, I tailor my care to each animal’s unique needs. My experience includes post-surgery care, as well as oral and injectable medications - all done with a gentle touch and followed up with lots of love and cuddles. Animals have always been part of my life, and I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to provide care for your pet. I pride myself on creating a calm, loving environment so your pet feels safe, secure, and happy. As a full-time school employee, I have early morning and after school availability. In addition, my weekends are flexible. Due to occasional after school meetings, my schedule would need to have a window of one to two hours in which to complete visits. I do not offer pet care in my own home, rather I am looking for the opportunity to visit a pet's home and care for them there.
“We had a fantastic experience with Nicole! This was our first time leaving our cat while we were away, and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to look after her. She was punctual, very communicative throughout our trip, and clearly took great care of our cat—she seemed happy, relaxed, and well looked after when we got home. We would absolutely recommend her and will definitely be reaching out again for future trips!”
“Valerie was excellent with our pups and very professional. She showed up on time for every visit and spent quality time with the pups. We have small, anxious dogs and they were very comfortable with her! We will ask for her to come back!”

About: Shepards, terriers, labs, or bullies- whatever your breed, it’s for me! For 9+ years, I have provided dogs with the care they expect and treat them with the love and routines their parent gives them everyday. With your guidance and direction, I offer your dogs the opportunity to run, play, grab toys, and even talk or sing- if that’s their thing. With my tummy rubbing expertise, dogs find themselves quickly spoiled and excited to see me time and time again. I offer running with your dog up to 15 minutes at your dog’s preferred pace.

Repeat customers may book outside the Rover App. I am available to walk, drop in, and housesit in the Morristown, Chatham, Summit and, surrounding areas in the mornings and evenings on weekdays and most times on weekends. I work full time in Morristown. I care for pets in your home by utilizing the space they are most familiar with in a way that is comfortable to them. This looks like following your dog’s normal routines around feeding, playing, and relaxing. Additionally, I will respect your home, keeping it clean and secure. I’m known for my compassion, ethics, and going above and beyond.

“Paula was wonderful with our 19 year old cat Simon. She took great care of him and sent lots of photos and even videos. I was worried that he might be grumpy and unhappy boarding but I think he felt very comfortable and really liked Paula. We are so happy that we found Paula and would definitely bring Simon back to board if we need to go out of town again.”
About: I love dogs and have taken care of them from a young age. Neighbors and friends always rely on me to care for their dogs when they are away. I have a 1.5 year old Australian shepherd mix that I adopted last year. I care for your dogs like they are my own! I work from home so I would love to help out with daily walks and dog drop ins. I am available on weekends for pet care 24/7. In my home, I take my dog for walks three times per day. At night my dog is crate trained and loves to enjoy her alone time in there for sleep. In client homes I typically take dogs for a walk unless the owner prefers otherwise. I treat your home with respect.
