“Anna was fantastic! She made sure our cat was well taken care of during our 10 trip, even making sure he got his medicine at the same time each day. We would highly recommend her and look forward to having her look after our cat again.”
About: I have experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve helped with daily walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable and safe in their environment. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs and routines, whether that means high-energy play or a calm, relaxed approach. I also understand the importance of communication with owners and will always provide updates and ensure your pet is well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently in school part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I’m able to provide consistent attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I’m reliable, organized, and make pet care a priority in my weekly schedule. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in every home. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, exercise, medications, and any special instructions. I make sure the space is secure—doors and gates are checked, hazards are removed, and pets are always supervised during walks or play. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep everything clean and organized while maintaining the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. In my home, pets have a safe, comfortable area with plenty of supervision, attention, and a pet-friendly environment. I build trust by staying attentive, communicating regularly with updates and photos, and making sure each pet feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for.
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our cat sitter provided for our four cats while we were away. She followed every instruction carefully, kept us updated, and gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear from the start that she genuinely loves animals, and our cats absolutely adored her 😸 Coming home to four happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for cats was the best feeling. She went above and beyond to make sure their routines stayed consistent and that each of them received plenty of attention and care. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you for taking such amazing care of our furry family!”

“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.

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
“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!!!”
“Mylene is an amazing sitter! She recently watched our babies while we were away for a mini trip, and we couldn't be happier. From the moment we met her for the meet-and-greet, we knew she was the best choice, and she didn't disappoint. Mylene is super communicative—we received perfectly timed walk updates every morning and evening. She is incredibly reliable and prompt with her replies, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. We will definitely be booking her services again.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on, personal experience. I had my own dog for 14 wonderful years, which gave me firsthand knowledge of everything from puppy training to senior care. Toward the end of her life, she required extra attention and medical care, and I was fully committed to making her as comfortable and loved as possible. That experience taught me patience, compassion, and how to adapt to each pet’s unique needs. While I haven’t professionally watched dogs outside of family and friends, I’ve cared for pets with the same dedication and reliability as my own. You can trust that I’ll treat your pet like family—with love, safety, and plenty attention My fiancé and I have very flexible work schedules. I usually start work after 9 AM, and he’s home by 2 PM. Since we’re both in sales and manage our own schedules, we can easily accommodate requests in the morning, afternoon, and evening. We have a spacious, fenced-in backyard that’s perfect for playtime. Our home is right off the main street, with easy access to Ledger Wood Park and quiet neighborhoods—great spots for safe and enjoyable walks
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!
“I cannot say enough good things about Julia. Our cat is a diabetic she was extremely intune to his behaviors and when he was acting very different she never hesitated to call us and take action. Her dedication to his well being saved his life as he was having a diabetic crisis. She took him to vet and followed up everyday with the direction from the doctor. Julia was amazing and cannot thank her enough for her care to our cat while we were away.”
“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.”

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.

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.

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.
