Dog Sitting Metuchen

“Jasmin was a great sitter and took care of my cat when I was away. My cat warmed up to her quickly, which is something she normally doesn’t do since she’s weary of strangers. Jasmin followed my instructions and did not have any issues.”

“Hannah was wonderful with my two cats. It was the first time I left them longer than a few days, and Hannah took wonderful care of them. They really liked her, even my shy anxious cat that doesn't like most people enjoyed her visits. She kept me well updated and I enjoyed the photos while I was away. Thank you Hannah for the excellent care and attention you provided. My girls loved you coming over to play with them!”

About: Hello! I’m Alison - a lifelong animal lover that would be thrilled to care for your pets (really, I’m animal-deprived and it would make my day). I’ve been pet sitting for about 10 years and have experience with all kinds of animals, from feisty felines and shy shelter pups to horses, chickens, bearded dragons, donkeys, etc. I am experienced with unfriendly dogs and cats, elderly dogs, and puppies that are still learning good behavior. If you’d like I can run with dogs to tire them out or just take them on long walks, I live near multiple parks and would be happy to. I also have cat toys on hand and can play with and cuddle cats - truly whatever is needed. I’m reliable, easy to work with, and always attentive to your requests. I recently moved to Metuchen for my corporate job and, without having my old neighbors reach out to me for help with their pets, I decided to join Rover to find new pets to help watch. I would LOVE the chance to care for your pets - it would truly bring me so much joy! I work a flexible schedule. It is all over the place so to make it easy I will set my calendar as unavailable and open up days 1 week out, if you want to book more advance than 1 week I absolutely can just reach out first! I do not have any pets myself sadly. I have a very flexible schedule and can host pets at my apartment, do house visits, take pets on long walks, can even do runs with energetic pups.

About: I have an elderly dog with various medical conditions including diabetes. I am comfortable administering her insulin and making sure her medications are taken with meals. I have cared for cats and dogs alike when friends are out of town. Often, it is walks, playtime, cleaning litter boxes, and providing fresh food and water. I am a school-based occupational therapist with a lighter schedule, looking for a fun way to fill my time. I love going out on walks and getting a couple extra steps in. In a clients home, detailed instructions and honesty about a pets personality and reactivity is key. This ensures both mine and the pet’s safety when caring for them in a way that the owner, pet, and I are comfortable with.

About: I’ve taken care of my own pets since I was 6, so I know how to take care of different pets no matter what kinda of pet is. I just love animals! , so I don’t mind taking care of them. :> I am currently working part-time in a university dining hall in the afternoons , where I work every other weekend. I have classes in the mornings; however, I am fully available during school breaks, and my sister and parents help me taking care of the pet when I’m not at home.(My schedule might change when classes start) I have a younger sister of 11 years friendly and loves pets. I don’t have my own yard but outside my house there’s a nice space for pets where they can run, walk safe. It’s like a nice big green yard basically.

About: l've cared for cats and dogs of all ages, including young pets and those needing extra patience. I have experience raising, socializing, and looking after animals and truly enjoy spending time with them. I'm dependable, detail-oriented with routines (feeding, playtime, litter/cleanup, walks), and I always make sure owners get regular updates and photos while they're away. I’m available for pet care on Fridays after 5:00 PM and anytime on weekends, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care during those times. I’m happy to accommodate drop-ins, check-ins, or sitting during those days and will make sure your pet sticks to their normal routine as closely as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. When caring for pets in my home, I introduce them slowly to the environment and keep them separated at first if needed to help them adjust safely. I always follow the owner’s instructions, keep a clean and calm space, and make sure pets are supervised and well cared for at all times. I also provide updates and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 11 years old, I thrive off meeting new people and animals. I love the outdoors and sometimes a good challenge. I've had dogs from puppies to seniors under my care. With a large career background in childcare as well, I have a lot of patience and love to give. I am currently free for the summer, so I will have a wide availability for your pups and animals. I am willing to work weekdays and weekends. I don't have a preference for am or pm. Just excited to get started. When in a client's home, I create and maintain a safe environment for all pets by establishing trust early on, sitting on the floor and letting the animal come to me. Then the fun starts, alongside with safety always. I provide lots of love and cuddles and encouragement (and treats in accordance with the pet parents of course). After all the requested tasks are done, and the walk is complete, I love to cuddle with them and foster that trust some more. No matter which service you prefer, my priority is always to meet the animal where they are, and build the relationship up from there.

About: I’ve had cats since childhood and currently have a cat of my own, so I understand how important patience, attention, and care are for pets. Even though I don’t own a dog, I’m very comfortable around them and enjoy spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m responsible, gentle, and truly love animals, and I always try to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I already care for my own cat every day. I currently work part-time and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets attention, playtime, walks, feeding, and companionship. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I understand how important trust and safety are when caring for someone’s pet.

I pay close attention to their behavior, routines, and needs, and I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and respect as if they were my own pet.

About: I am a furry friend lover and I have taken care of pups of friends and family and have boarded them at my home several times. My house is safe and pet friendly wherein your precious buddy can stay comfortably. I have built a safe fenced yard where I enjoy playing with Nala, our dog. I live in safe neighborhood and walk her or let her out multiple times a day. I have a 4 year old healthy female Cavapoo who is very friendly and enjoys walking and playing with other dogs. I regularly take my buddy Nala (my pet dog) for walks and would love to take yours too!!! My pet brings a smile on my face every morning. My day starts with taking my pet out for walk. Pets are free to roam in our house and make our home as theirs during their entire stay. Treats are shared (if owners are okay). Weather permitting free play in safe fenced yard in morning and afternoon. In evening playing fetch play, run around or relax outside as per pets mood. Myself and my family members give a short walk to my buddy Nala three times a day and in evenings we take her on long walks in neighbourhood, dog park, sometimes on dog friendly beach.

I respect your pets routine and will feed the pup as per the schedule and will walk your buddy as per owners instructions.

“I had never used a cat sitter before and was really anxious about finding one and having a stranger take care of my cat. Many of my coworkers used and recommended Rover, which is what brought me to the app, and eventually to Mersades. I chose her because she had incredible ratings and reviews, and she was so sweet when I reached out to her for availability. I told her how I was anxious and she met up with me via video call on the app and it soothed all my worries. She was also a fantastic cat sitter. My cat Luna loved her, and she took incredible care of Luna and sent me lots of pictures everyday that eased my anxiety. I immediately booked her for the next trip I had planned and it went equally as well. I will forever check her availability first now when I need someone to watch my cat. Highly recommend her.”

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, and I’m a pet owner myself. I’m very patient, attentive, and truly enthusiastic about animals. I’ve cared for puppies as well as senior dogs, and I understand that each pet has unique needs and routines. I’m also knowledgeable about basic training and enjoy helping pets feel comfortable, safe, and happy. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home with a very flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day, including regular potty breaks, playtime, and multiple walks. I also have a fenced yard and a safe environment where dogs can relax and get fresh air. I love having pets as part of my day and making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and happy. My home provides a safe, welcoming environment for pets. I have a large fenced yard and plenty of indoor space for your pet to relax and play comfortably. If needed, I can also set up a crate based on your request and your pet’s routine. We also have nearby walkways and parks, making it easy to enjoy regular outdoor walks and fresh air.

About: Hi, I’m Christine! For the past 15 years, I’ve cared for pets of all sizes and personalities, from energetic puppies to wise senior dogs and even a few feisty cats. I now have my own furry companion, a playful weenie dog, and know firsthand how much our pets mean to us. I’m passionate about providing safe, loving, and personalized care, whether it’s house sitting, drop-in visits, walks, or even bathing and grooming. As an active person, I’m more than happy to keep up with high-energy dogs or take a slower, more careful approach for pets that need a little extra patience. Unfortunately, Rover does not allow sitters to mark specific times as unavailable; only full days are available. My schedule is relatively flexible, though I am currently studying to take my board exams, so please reach out with a request, and depending on my study/work schedule, I would be more than happy to accommodate you! While my yard isn’t pet-friendly yet, I’m happy to provide care in the comfort of your pet’s own home, following your guidelines to maintain their routine and comfort. I understand that no one knows your pet better than you, so I’m here to support both you and your furry family member as best as I can!

About: I’ve loved animals ever since I can remember. From hamsters, dogs, cats, bunnies, fish, geckos, etc. I have had them all! I am always a reliable source for pet care when friends and neighbors are away. I currently work weekends and am attending school in the evenings a few days a week- so I have all day to play and care for your fur babies! I have a fenced in yard and two cats who are accepting of other animals. I can crate or provide a comfy space for your pets so they feel pampered and safe!

About: I pride myself on my deep passion for working with dogs and ensuring, even when you are away, that they feel loved!

My dedication to their well-being has earned me a solid reputation as a reliable and responsible dog walker. I am here to help you and your furbaby, please message me if you have any questions. As a college student home for the summer, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to incorporate pet care into my daily or weekly routine seamlessly When providing dog walking services, I ensure that each visit includes a refreshing walk tailored to the dog's needs, including exercise, bathroom breaks, and mental stimulation. I also make sure to provide fresh water, offer treats (if allowed), and give them plenty of attention and affection. As an owner myself, I understand how import it is to maintain open communication with the pet's owner which includes providing updates and photos to keep you informed and reassured of your pet's well-being.
