House Sitting in Morris Plains

“Showed up on time, good attitude, was very attentive to my dog. Walked him, played with him, sent pictures. I would not hesitate to rehire her”

“We could not be more grateful for Raechel’s flexibility and communication the last week as we navigated finding pet care for a last-minute funeral. We returned home to a spotless house and happy, well cared for pets - with the TV turned on to one of their favorite programs, a detail that made us so happy. We will absolutely be booking with Raechel again!”

“Lauren did a fantastic job. She was wonderful with my dog and took her on many walks. She went above and beyond when my cats knocked over a plant and the pot broke. Thanks Lauren”

“Nicole is the BEST! She was timely, took great care of Dunston, sent the best pictures, and we felt safe trusting her with our pup and home :)”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 12 and I really love being around animals. Friends, neighbors, and family trust me to feed, walk, play with, and watch their pets when they’re away. I’m patient, reliable, and make sure every dog feels safe and comfortable. Whether your dog likes long walks, playing, or just relaxing, I’ll make sure they’re happy and cared for. I treat every pet like my own and always do my best to make owners feel comfortable leaving their pets with me. I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time to care for your pets since I am home from college. I’m available throughout most weekdays and weekends, which gives me lots of time to give your pets attention, playtime, walks, and care. I enjoy being around animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for when they’re with me. I follow instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, or routines your pet is used to.

In a client’s home, I am respectful of the space and make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and care while the owners are away.

“Annett was amazing and took such good care of our 2 boys while we were away. She sent videos and pics during her stay which was awesome too. I plan to have Annett come again.”

About: New to Rover, but not to pets! I’m offering an introductory rate while I build up my reviews on the platform. See my background in professional pet care below! I bring over three years of professional experience from multiple dog boarding and daycare facilities, in addition to living with my own furry family members since childhood. This background gives me both the technical skills to handle logistics - from managing high-energy playgroups to following strict feeding, and cleaning protocols - and the genuine heart to treat every guest like one of my own. My time at D.A.R.G. (Domestic Animal Rescue Group) in South Africa further sharpened my ability to connect with animals from all walks of life. Special Skills: Medical & Senior Care: I am comfortable and experienced in administering medications. Behavioral Awareness: Having worked with challenging temperaments and diverse energy levels, I know how to read body language and provide the right environment for shy, reactive, or high-energy pets. Cat Specialist: I understand that cats are unique. I approach them with patience and respect - always on their terms - ensuring they feel secure in their own space. Training Basics: I can reinforce basic commands and maintain the structure you’ve already established for your pet. ✨ Why Pet Owners Choose Me • Experienced with both dogs and cats • Comfortable with a wide range of personalities and behaviors • Patient and attentive - great with shy, energetic, or more sensitive pets • Able to administer medications if needed • Reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented • You’ll always receive updates and photos! 📸 Pet care is a consistent part of my daily life. Whether I’m caring for my own pets or helping out friends, I prioritize routine and reliability. My current schedule allows me the flexibility to provide dedicated check-ins, walks, and attentive overnight care. Because I’m used to the fast-paced environment of professional daycares, I’m excellent at time management and ensuring every "potty break" and meal happens right on time. My priority is making sure your pet feels secure and loved while you’re away. When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same respect I show your pets. My Safety Protocol: Detailed Updates: You’ll receive regular updates with photos and videos so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. Routine-Focused: I mirror your pet's existing schedule to minimize any "vacation anxiety." Attentive & Alert: My background in professional boarding has trained me to be hyper-aware of environmental hazards and subtle changes in a pet's behavior or health. Calm Presence: I provide a peaceful environment for more sensitive animals while offering fun, active engagement for those who need to burn off energy.

“Bryan was fabulous. He stayed at our house and watched 2 old cats and a dog that needs daily medication. He communicated very well before the stay so he knew what to do and touched base repeatedly while we were gone with pictures and updates of our animals. We came back to a well cared for house and very happy animals. I will absolutely be booking him again and encourage others to do so as well!”

Cat E.

“Jordyn did a great job caring for my westie in my home while I was away for a week. She sent updates and pictures. He was well cared for. When I returned home, Jordyn made sure everything was in perfect order! Linus misses her already! We’ll be calling Jordyn again! I highly recommend her!”

Janice D.

“Sophie was great! She stayed 2 nights at my house and kept my sweet 2 year old kitten company. We are so thankful for Sophie! Will be booking again!”

“Valeria (Val) stepped in last minute for a 3-night overnight stay and was fantastic. She was communicative, flexible and sent daily photo updates, which provided peace of mind. She handled all morning and night walks, followed all care instructions, kept everything clean (water bowls filled, litter box scooped, home tidy), and clearly cared for my pets like her own. Reliable, responsive and easy to work with; I would book again.”

About: I have over 10 years caring for pets. I provide animals with what they need and make sure they feel comfortable. I care deeply about animals and am passionate about supporting them. Boarding— i have experience caring for dogs overnight in others homes and in mine. I provide a space in my home where the dog can sleep. I have a big yard and areas where the dogs can play. I can help administer medications, provide food and water, and give the dogs necessary attention and love. Walking— i have experience taking dogs on 30 min walks throughout the day.i can walk multiple dogs at a time. I have reliable transportation and a flexible schedule. Id love to connect if you are interested in learning more. I take online grad school classes, so I’m usually around the home hanging out with them. I feed them in the morning play with them during the day and get lots of love and attention. I have a pretty big apartment where I can take care of cats and small dogs. my backyard is not fenced in, but I can keep the dog on a leash.

“We HIGHLY recommend Jessica! She is so sweet and genuine, and was fantastic with communication before, during, and after our trip. She went above and beyond with our fur babies! We have a highly energetic dog and she contacted us to make sure she was doing everything possible for him. She took him on tons of walks and communicated with us about getting some new toys to calm him : ) She even went to the pet store when Amazon wasn't delivering in time. She played and cuddled with our cat as well. She left our house immaculate. We were more than happy with her care of our pets and our home - again, highly we highly recommend and wouldn't hesitate to have her house sit again!! <3 <3”

“Jeanne Marie took great care of our precious pups and our home. Highly recommended.”

Gary S.

About: I have had pets since I was a kid and have also pet sit for family and friends. I have had both dogs and cats through my life, so I know how to take care of each. I work full time Monday-Friday, but do have flexibility to come let out a dog once per day if needed. I do not work on weekends, so I have availability as needed. I will follow all directions given, and will make sure to keep your pets safe and comfortable throughout the time I am watching them. I have experience with sitting both cats and dogs.

“CANNOT RECOMMEND HER ENOUGH. She was so kind, attentive, and loving to our pup. She messaged us multiple updates and photos throughout the day and I know our boy had a wonderful time. I will definitely utilize Gabrielle services again in the future!”

Sasha L.

“Thanks to Vanessa, we had one less thing to worry about during our recent trip. She took great care of the boys and a few things around the house. Logistically, her work place being close to our house, gave us the assurance that she is closeby if needed during her working hours. The boys loved her so much, they went crazy when she had dropped by later to collect a few stuff she had left behind.”

About: Over my life I have had 5 cats, 5 dogs ranging from small yorkies to pitbulls and a golden doodle. I would usually take responsibility for these animals like taking them outside on walks, feeding them, buying the toys they love to play with. Overall I can’t remember a time in my life where a pet was present around me in my home. Pet care fits very easily in my schedule because all I have is school, I am a highschool student. After school I don’t have much to do so pet care fits easily in my schedule. I have a fenced in backyard that I used for all my dogs and if they got tired of just roaming the same backyard I’d take them on walks when they wanted it. I put them to sleep in their crates and feed them when it is time. My cats are pretty free and only bother me if they want to use the backyard or want food, but I like to keep them entertained so I play with them using the toys I’ve bought.
