About: I’m just starting out on Rover, but I’ve grown up with dogs and been around them my whole life. I work remotely most days, so I am flexible to adjust my schedule to make sure your pet is well taken care of. The sillier and goofier your dog, the better! Whether your pet likes to go for long walks and play fetch or lounge around the house, you can be sure they will be in good hands while you’re away. I work a full-time job and am remote at least 3 days a week, so I am flexible to adjust my schedule to meet your dog’s needs. On the weekends I am looking for any excuse to be outside, so your pets will get plenty of time in the sun! My partner and I live in a house, with no other pets or children. Your pet will be my #1 priority! We have an open yard with plenty of shaded space, and some nice parks nearby. There is a neighbor that lives below us, so any dogs that bark very frequently may not be a great fit for us
About: Hi! I’m Hannah, your biggest “animal lover”! I’m a full-time student who works two part-time jobs, one at a doggy daycare that I love every second of! I have hands-on experience supervising dogs of all sizes and energy levels, ensuring they stay safe, happy, and well cared for. With my experience, I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities and needs. Your baby will be treated like my own — spoiled with attention, responsibly cared for, and given lots of love! 🐾 My availability is the following: • Weekdays — 12 PM-2 PM and all day after 5 PM • Tues/Weds — ONLY 12 PM-2 PM • Fri/ Sat — After 2 PM • Sun — After 7 PM • House-sitting and boarding is available at all times (contact me for requested hours/ needs) My work schedules may fluctuate, so please consider booking and contacting me ahead of time! Thank you for understanding :) Walks, playtime, you name it! You and your pups’ well-being is my top priority. I have a friendly pomeranian, Kiwi, at home who has resided with 14+ foster dogs in the past. He, and his pals, are taken on walks throughout the day when needed and are constantly attended to and played with at home. My home has an open yard, so it is essential I keep your pup leashed up for mini potty breaks to prevent any incidents :) I own a crate if needed, extra bedding, and plenty of toys and snacks to keep your puppy happy! 🐶
“Literally could not ask for a better rover!!! James checked in on Finley last minute for us and was fantastic. He was incredibly attentive and great with communication. He made sure to keep me updated and let me know exactly how Finley was doing while I was away. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone to do drop-ins!!!”
About: I’ve pet sit a lot of dogs for family friends and currently have a dog(2yrs old) that I have had since she was a puppy. I love dogs and understand the importance of gentle care when it comes to your furry friends! I currently am working a part time so I have lots of time in my day to play with your pups! I don’t mind waking up earlier or going after work to care for your pet. I’m very respectful of other people’s spaces and only look to play with your pup in whatever service is required. My focus is your fur baby!
About: I have experience dog sitting for family and friends, and I was a proud dog owner for many years until my beloved dog passed away a few years ago. Caring for dogs has always been something I enjoy, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I would love the opportunity to care for your dog during the week, whether that means going for walks, providing companionship, or helping maintain their routine. Spending time with dogs doesn’t feel like work to me, it’s something I genuinely enjoy I’m a middle school vice principal who is looking for a fun summer job, and I can’t think of one better than spending it taking care of dogs! I have summers off so this job is my top priority, I’m a huge dog person and look forward to spending time hanging out with them any time during the day A dogs safety is always a top priority, which is why I will constantly monitor them while I’m there, and give them the attention they deserve. Being respectful of clients homes and belonging is very important and a critical part of my approach to taking care of their pet
About: I’ve grown up in a house filled with dogs and cats my whole life. In the last year, I have turned taking care of animals into a part time gig and am looking to do more of it! I currently work some nights in the evening but usually fill my days with walks and drop ins and am looking to increase the amount of families I help. I promise to be very respectful of your home and take care of your pets the way I would hope someone would take care of mine.
“Vanessa was fantastic and professional when she came to our house to walk our dog Roxy. She was prompt, able to calmly interact with our special needs dog and provided multiple pictures and updates during her one hour stay! We will be using her as a regular sitter from now on!”
“Erin had great communication throughout the whole process. Our meet & greet was seamless and the whole visit went great with our dog! Highly recommend. We will be booking Erin for future needs!”
“Mark was fantastic! I could tell right from the start that he was going to try his darnedest to get my shy Moira to connect on his visits - when he instantly started to practice the high-pitched voice I use which Moira best responds to on our initial visit lol! Right out of the gate I think he was able to find her under the bed and engage with Churu! While she didn't allow contact every single day - I have no doubt that he tried and he even succeeded on several. I definitely felt safe having Mark taking care of my shy lil' girl.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all breeds since a was a young girl. I have had my own pet sitting business for 15 years now. I have pet sat for family, friends and all have relied on me to take care of their fur babies. I have experience with senior dogs, puppies and dogs that have separation anxiety. Administering medication is no problem Pet sitting is my only job so that I can give full attention to your fur baby throughout the day. This includes a lot of one on one attention and companionship. I have a fully fenced in yard for potty breaks and playtime and a finished lower level that is used for boarding as well as playtime during inclement weather.
About: I have taken care of animals since I was a little girl, having cats since a toddler. When my sister got her first dog, I watched after her a lot since I was studying from home and she was a puppy who we knew needed more often potty breaks and care. When she got her next 2 puppies, I also watched after them while they were little ones. I have cared for dogs who take medication and dogs who need a little more TLC. Ultimately, I have experience with dogs and cats and love both so much. My best friend is a vet and her husband an emergency vet (sadly they're in Georgia), but its comforting knowing I have them in my pocket for any emergencies. I currently work M-F but am off on the weekends. I have finished my board exams and awaiting the beginning of residency, so I am looking for something to do on the weekends I enjoy, and what better way to do that than caring for adorable animals! I care for animals in their own home. I’m very respectful of other’s belongings and find that animals tend to do better when they are in their normal surroundings.
About: Flexible hours available at your fingertips! With each pet having their own special personality, I easily adapt to its care. A lover of all animals and here for whatever they need. Ready to offer my five star service - if they like cuddles, they’ll get cuddles. If they prefer space, they’ll get space. With having two family dogs that I help take care of - both of which are almost 13 years old - I have plenty of experience and care to provide to make them feel comfortable and have a great time away. Whether it be a run/stroll through the park or comfortably watching television, I’m ready to make them feel easily at home and make you feel at ease knowing I’m with them!
About: Hi! My name is Xiomara and I love all animals :) I have been a pet sitter for a many years now. I’m very hands on and love to spend time playing, cuddling, running, and ensuring that your fur baby gets the attention they need. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, cats, rabbits, fish, birds, ferrets, and many more. Having also been a babysitter for over 10 years, I have encountered many pets throughout my time spent with various families and understand the importance of catering to the different and unique needs of each pet and their distinct personalities. Thank you for considering me to care for your pets and I can’t wait to hear from you! I currently work full time Monday through Friday with two work from home days. I’m available before and after work on my three in-office days and have open availability on weekends. I can fully adapt to any specific routine your pets need to follow in the comfort of their home. I know every pet has varying routines and know the importance of sticking to their specific needs. For longer stays, I try to make myself available to ensure pets are still receiving love and cuddles they need while their parents are away!
About: Hi! My name is Jackie and I have been caring for dogs and cats for almost 40 years! I am a responsible animal lover, with a special place in my heart for senior dogs. My most recent fur baby had separation anxiety, so I know the mutual anxiety that can go along with leaving your pet alone. Let me help! I am available for drop-in visits, dog walking, doggy day care and overnight pet sitting (in my home or yours). Please note that meet and greets are REQUIRED for all first time bookings. It is important for me to get to know your pet(s) in advance of providing any service(s). It will not only give them comfort to meet me in your presence so that they become familiar with me, but it also provides you with the opportunity to fill me in on any special needs (medications, food, etc.) or behaviors. I have a 24-hour CANCELLATION policy for any scheduled services . Any cancellations made less than 24 hours before the scheduled service will incur a fee equal to 50% of the total cost of the cancelled service(s). I am recently retired from my professional career and have the flexibility in my schedule to meet your pet care needs any day of the week. I live in a smoke-free home with a fenced yard. There are no children present, so your pet will get my full attention. I have experience caring for senior dogs. If your dog is not able to walk long distances, I have a pet stroller where they can ride in style and get some fresh air.
“Lindsay set my mind and heart completely at ease as she took such attentive care of my cat Phoebe! It was my first time leaving Phoebe for an extended amount of time and I didn’t have to worry about a thing because I got excellent pics and updates along the way. 10 out of 10 highly recommend!!!”
About: I am a proud owner of a beautiful pup at home that makes me smile everyday. Having her has taught me how to interact, love and care for dogs. This is an experience I can share with other dogs. I grew up I surrounded by many dogs at home and at my family's farm in my home country, so since a young age I have been interacted with them and has allowed me to understand how important they become to our lives. I speak Spanish as well Im currently working full time as a dog walker. Any other services like boarding plese text me to see if I can help you out! During our walk I can assure you that my time and attention would be directed to your pup, so it can enjoy our time together as much as I will.
About: Hi! My name is Danielle and I am the biggest dog lover you’ll ever meet! I have 1 little guy of my own. He stole my heart the moment I adopted him. I work from home full time so I love being able to spend it doing what I love. I walk some of the neighborhood dogs but really want to start expanding! I’ve always grown up around dogs. They fill my life up with so much joy. Let me know if you’d like to meet to discuss further! I have the privilege of working from home full time so pet care fits into my schedule very easily! All the dogs I’ve taken care of love me just being in their presence while their owner is away. It’s comforting to them Since I work from home, I can spend a ton of time with your dog! Unfortunately, I can’t have any dogs in my home because my rescue is fearful. To protect my dog and yours, I would have to care for your dog in your own home

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Morris Plains
Katy is excellent with our 2 year old Aussie. She is on time and flexible. She helped me out with our dog when my husband was in the hospital and I will be forever grateful for her care and concern during that difficult time. It brought me peace knowing that our dog was being well cared for when we could not be there to do it. Thanks Katy!
Vanessa was fantastic and professional when she came to our house to walk our dog Roxy. She was prompt, able to calmly interact with our special needs dog and provided multiple pictures and updates during her one hour stay! We will be using her as a regular sitter from now on!
Kaylee has watched over our pup Louie a couple of times now and we couldn’t be happier. She is clearly a pet lover and treats our baby as if he was her own. She sends updates and pictures, ensures that any concerns are addressed, and keeps our house as neat as she found it. We would highly recommend Kaylee for anyone in need of a caring and responsible pet sitter!
I highly recommend Emily! She was able to check in on Ellie and JimBob on very short notice, which I appreciated so much. Ellie is elderly and can be difficult to care for, but Emily handled everything with patience, compassion, and genuine love for animals. She kept me informed, made sure the dogs were comfortable, and gave Ellie the gentle care she needs. I truly felt at ease knowing they were in her hands. I’ll definitely booking with her again!
Daniela was super easy to work with and very reliable. We met before she watched our dog and they got along very well during that meeting, and while we were away. She kept us updated with photos and with progress reports. We would highly recommend her, she was great!!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Morris Plains stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Morris Plains choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Morris Plains with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
