Pet Sitting in Mountainside

“Elaine and I did a meet and greet today with my miniature dachshund Casey. Casey warmed up to her immediately and felt very safe with her from the get go! It's easy to tell that Elaine is a true pet lover and we look forward to future visits for walks and pet sitting! This is my first time using the Rover app, and meeting Elaine made me so happy I did!”

About: I work a steady 9–5 on weekdays and have weekends free, allowing me to offer reliable and consistent pet care. With experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and ages, I tailor my approach to each pet’s unique needs—whether that’s energetic play, calm companionship, or following a specific routine. I make space in my life for animal care, not just fit it in, and I always take time to learn about a pet’s favorite activities, schedule, and temperament to ensure they feel safe, understood, and loved. I work a steady 9–5 schedule on weekdays with weekends completely free, which allows me to build reliable, consistent pet care into my daily routine. Mornings and evenings are dedicated to caring for animals—whether that’s feeding, walking, administering medication, or just spending quality time. On weekends, I’m fully available for extended visits, drop-ins, or overnight care. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s something I intentionally make space for in my life. Whether your pet needs a calm companion, detailed attention, or a familiar routine while you’re away, I’m here to provide dependable and loving care every time. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or welcoming them into mine, their comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. In Your Home: I understand how important it is for pets to stay in their familiar environment. When caring for your pet in your home, I’ll treat your space with the utmost respect—leaving everything exactly as I found it, or even better. I follow your instructions closely, maintain your pet’s routine, and always make sure they’re calm, comfortable, and cared for like part of my own family. In My Home: I live in a single-level home with a large, fully fenced-in yard—perfect for safe outdoor time and play. Inside, we have two spacious bedrooms and a relaxed, open layout. Pets have unrestricted access throughout the home so they can settle in, explore, and feel completely at ease. I aim to make it a true home-away-from-home experience where your pet feels loved and secure at all times.

“Victoria is great! She took care of my cat for a week. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. She is was also very reliable and flexible; we had to change plans several times and she had no problem accommodating. We will definitely hire Victoria again.”

Rebecca C.

“Matthew has been a fabulous friend to my Lara, who has been going through the heartbreak of losing a canine companion and needs extra TLC (along with the occasional pee break). He has been reliable and wonderful to have as a part of her emotional support team (and will soon be the same for a new puppy!)”

“We had a last minute request and Stephanie came through for us. We so appreciate her and will use Stephanie again in the future!”

“I cannot recommend Diana enough! She took such incredible care of our pup, Moose, while we were away. We received regular updates & adorable photos! If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and truly dedicated, Diana is everything you’d hope for in a sitter. We’re beyond grateful and will 100% be booking again!”

“River was amazing with Bruno. Super responsive and kept me informed with text and pictures. I highly recommend River . Bruno seems to have taken to River and her love for animals comes across on her caring and compassionate care. Thank you River”

Shavar C.

“Marlee is very friendly and reliable. I liked that she was very communicative through the entire process. She dropped in on my cat, Majik, a few times while we were away on vacation. Although, Majik is very skittish and would hide away during the times Marlee dropped in, she made sure Majik was fed and that her litter was clean, which is what I needed her help to do. I would definitely book her again in the future!”

“"Booking with Rover and finding the perfect dog sitter was an absolute delight! From start to finish, the experience was seamless and stress-free. The platform's intuitive interface made it easy to browse through a diverse range of experienced sitters, each accompanied by detailed profiles and glowing reviews from other pet owners. After selecting the perfect match for my furry friend, communication was effortless, and I felt reassured knowing that my beloved pet was in capable hands. The updates and photos provided throughout my dog's stay further solidified my confidence in Rover's exceptional service. I highly recommend Rover to any pet owner seeking reliable and loving care for their furry family members."”

Isabel M.

“Diane went out of her way to look for our cat, who was hiding. Her communication while we were away was great. I felt like our girls were in great hands!”

About: I'm Anthony. I am a native Jersey Boy and I love animals (especially dogs). I currently do not have a dog. I am in the process of applying to volunteer at a local animal shelter, and have decided to also sign up for Rover to [word] my love for animals. I grew up with both small (yorkies, Maltese's, silkies, and Pomeranians) and large dogs (Boxers). I am particularly fond of small lap dogs and I have owned 3 Pomeranians myself (Bear, Lionel, & Samson!). I am a very responsible pet-owner and sitter who works remotely at a large hospital in NYC. My experience with small dogs is extensive. I've had no problem waking up in the middle of the night raising my puppies and feeding them to prevent hypoglycemia. I've also trained dogs to use both pee pads and to go potty outdoors (a feat that was very impressive to several Veterinarians!). And, as a marathoner, I enjoy walking, jogging, and running with all dogs or an energetic play session in my apartment. Additionally, as a previous owner of pure-bred dogs, I am familiar with breed specific medical conditions and as a healthcare worker am well equipped to administer medication and monitor health concerns and/or issues. For larger dogs, as I am a runner, I enjoy tiring them out (if okay with the owner). I grew up leash training out boxers to jog alongside me. I lead a very active lifestyle, and am a fan of including dogs in the lifestyle (if okay with the owner). As Westfield is a very walkable city, I enjoy taking doggos to coffee shops or dinner al fresco. I work from home 100%. I am a Manager for an NYC Hospital and work 9am - 5pm. I am very active (early morning runs, late evening runs) and am well-equipped to tend and care for dogs with my full attention. We live in an apartment with no other pets and we are fine accommodating your dog's permanent home environment and routine. We have a crate and dog gates.

“Nicolette was very caring and attentive to my pups. She kept me updated on their activity and well-being with a full report and pictures. I highly recommend her and will book again.”

About: Since high school, I’ve always had pets around me. When I was full-time Army stationed in Alaska, my leadership asked me to dog sit their pets and ever since then I was the go to dog sitter for our Company. I sometimes spent weeks juggling getting to work in the early mornings and getting home in time to take care of their pets and their homes. I enjoyed taking care of their dogs on the day to day! Im renovating my family’s new house and working in the New Jersey Army National Guard so I appreciate getting some steps in and spending time with pets. I like spending time with pets because they live in the moment. I talk and run with them sometimes when on walks to make them feel comfortable with me.

About: I’ve been an animal lover since birth and my mom always says my true calling was being a veterinarian. From dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, birds, geckos, you name it, I’ve raised them. I currently am a mom to 2 rescue cats who are both 7 years old. I would love to adopt a dog again but with my cats it would be impossible so I would love the opportunity to interact with puppies/dogs again! I currently work full time 9-6 Monday through Thursday so I am free anytime after 6pm Monday-Thursdays. I am also free on Friday mornings before 1pm! Both of the cats in my home roam freely therefore I unfortunately would not be able to do any pet sitting inside of my home.

“Lisa is very caring and thoughtful. Our anxious senior rescue pup quickly warmed up to her and was excited for her visits. We look forward to having Lisa look after Lily again in the future!”
