“Very responsible and caring dog walker. She spent quality time with her and navigated getting to our house after a storm in the area which resulted in street closures. Would recommend Raechel.”

“This was the first time using Rover & Kristin was an Amazing sitter. She was on time, very communicative and so nice. We didn’t worry about Lilo while she came to do daily drop ins. The pics and recaps were so sweet. You can tell Kristin is an animal lover and treats her furry clients as if they were her own. I HIGHLY recommend her 🙂”

She even helped with the e-collar, which we really appreciated. It’s clear she treats every dog like her own, and it made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust!”
“My cat really liked her and she treated him very well, including introducing a few ideas that'll make giving his iv way easier. Cant thank her enough for taking the job on such short notice! Will seek out again if needed”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've cared for a wide variety of pets, including turtles, leopard geckos, and my two cats, giving me experience with both traditional and exotic animals. I've also been pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors since I was a child and am comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. For the past four years, my family has participated in the America's VetDogs program, raising and training multiple future service dogs. Through this experience, I've gained valuable skills in animal care, consistency, positive reinforcement, and handling dogs in a variety of settings. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, cuddles, or specialized care, I'll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own animals. I currently work an 8–5 job during the weekdays, with occasional availability during lunch hours for quick walks or drop-ins when my schedule allows. Outside of that, I have early mornings, evenings, and weekends available for pet sitting, walks, and check-ins. I’m a very dedicated and reliable person, and I’m more than happy to work with pet parents to accommodate more challenging or specific schedules whenever possible. My goal is always to make sure your pets are cared for consistently and comfortably, even when life gets busy. Safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are my top priorities when caring for pets in either my home or a client’s home. I always make sure pets are supervised, kept on their normal routine as closely as possible, and given a calm, secure space where they can feel relaxed and cared for. I currently live in a large one-bedroom home that provides a clean, comfortable environment for pets. Right next to my home, there is a dedicated dog park and agility area, which is perfect for safe playtime, exercise, and enrichment. In addition, there is a long paved walking trail nearby, making walks both safe and enjoyable for dogs of all energy levels. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect all instructions and household routines closely, ensuring pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment while maintaining their safety, cleanliness, and overall well-being at all times.
“Nicole was amazing! I looked forward to getting the updates every day! She made leaving my Lulu at home just a little bit less stressful! Will definitely be booking her 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.
“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!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Morris Plains
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!
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!
Kristen was super! She was very friendly and professional and knew exactly how to take care of our fur babies. We went away with complete confidence knowing our pets were well cared for. When our flights got cancelled, she was able to visit an extra day to help us out. She even shoveled our driveway before we got home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Morris Plains. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
