House Sitting in New Providence

“My dog can be a bit difficult to walk and Armin did a great job dealing with it. He was reliable and responsive and I would definitely recommend him as a dog watcher.”

Kasey S.

“Sara was great! Our dogs loved her and she sent tons of photos every day. She was very communicative and followed all the instructions we left for her.”

Alex N.

“Kethely was so sweet to my quirky munchkins and kept me updated throughout. I haven’t felt so secure about leaving my pets in a long time! I will absolutely book her again :)”

Laura T.

“Jessica was lovely to work with. She sent the occasionally update and my pups looked like they were having the time of their lives. They were happy and exhausted when we got home. Definitely rebooking her for future stays.”

Danielle M.

“We had such a great experience with Kayla. Our dog struggles with separation anxiety, but Kayla did such a great job to calm his nerves. She was very patient with him and went out of her way to do a meet and greet prior to the appointment. He had such a good time! Highly recommend.”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for about 5 years now. I volunteer at an animal shelter and I love it. I have always been the go to person in my neighborhood when someone is out of town and needs someone to stop by their house or even care for their pets. I currently work part time so I have extra time on my hands. I have a large dog of my own and two cats so pet care is not unfamiliar to me Because I have a large dog of my own and two cats, I know what their needs and wants are. I have had pets since I could remember

“Luis did a great job looking after our two dogs. He was responsive and clear with communication, and was sensitive in meeting the needs of our dogs. We would happily use his services again.”

Darren L.

“I couldn’t be happier with the care our dog received from Brittiany. She was kind, reliable, and resposible. She sent frequent updates and asked questions, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. The house was left spotless, and our dog seemed relaxed, happy, and extremely well-cared-for when we returned. It’s such a relief to know we have someone we can fully trust with both our home and Maia. We will absolutely be booking again!”

About: I have a dog of my own that I got in late 2020. He was a rescue so he started out very shy and distrustful, now Frosty is bursting with energy and has fully come out of his shell. I have also pet sat for my grandmother’s dog and friend’s dogs in recent years. An animal’s wellbeing is my highest priority when they are in my care. I take them out every couple hours if they are antsy and am happy to play, cuddle, and give them my attention. Ultimately, I just love to see tails wagging :) My current full time job is front desk at the Madison Hotel. I would need to give two weeks notice to get time off for long periods of pet care. I can fit shorter visits into my existing schedule most days, I work a variety of shifts, but most frequently 7am-3pm, so my afternoons and evenings are usually very open. While my dog Frosty is very gentle with humans, he is not friendly towards other dogs, so I am unable to host animals in my own home. I can take out your pets for frequent walks or keep them entertained inside, whichever you prefer. My only caveat is that I am asthmatic so I have trouble keeping up with a dog that requires a lot of running or walks around a hilly neighborhood.

“We are so thankful to have found Coral to watch our sweet boy while we were away internationally. She has a relaxed energy and was so responsive and responsible. We felt at ease with her in our home and will absolutely use her again!”

About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes since I was young. I love spending time with our fur friends and making sure they feel safe, loved, and at home, even when you’re away, giving them the attention and comfort they deserve I just returned home from an 8 month contract as a performer in Virginia, so I have LOADS of time to love your fur babies and give them the best care possible! I live with my two cats Goose & Enzo! I’ve had Goose for the last 2 years and recently adopted little Enzo Muffin in October!

About: I've had dogs all my life, the most recently i had a awesome miniature poodle who I was fortunate to love and care for 17 years, so I am familiar with the needs of senior dogs. My schedule is fairly open every day after about 9 or ten am. I'd like a regular opportunity, but one offs will be good as well I am available for pet sitting at the clients home, but due to younger kids I can accommodate pets at my home. Walking and feeding and playing is ideal

“Maria was excellent with Oliver. Communicated regularly, gave extra care and attention and most importantly made Oliver feel special while we were gone. We look forward to welcoming Maria back”

Alex N.

“Maeve is great with our dog and has kept our home in beautiful condition. She is responsible and a very good communicator-she always keeps you in the loop. I highly recommend Maeve!”

About: I'm a pet-loving mother of four with three children in college—and enjoying the wonderful pets I have met through this site. I have lived in Scotch Plains for almost 15 years. I watch several dogs regularly on a private basis and am excited to be part of the Rover community. I grew up with a beloved menagerie that included three cats, two beloved dachshunds and a poodle and have enjoyed watching a variety of dogs, including a bulldog, a French bulldog, a Bernese, a labradoodle, and, of course, mixed breeds. I love walking and daily yoga and look forward to helping your pets get the fresh air, activity and affection they need when you are working or otherwise busy. I am a freelance writer with a flexible schedule and have time for walks and visits before or after work and at lunchtime. Having raised a family, I know how important it is to have a pet sitter who is mature and reliable and understands how deeply you love your pets--and am honored to assist you in keeping them happy and healthy. While I would love to help every pet, I am petite, so my ideal sized pets are under 50 pounds. I am a freelance writer with a flexible schedule and my own car. I rise early every day, and I am often available on weekends. I am often available at lunch time to clients who need their dogs walked mid day. I am a mature, reliable and organized mother of four and will treat your beloved and adorable pet like a member of my own family.

“Erin was great! Punctual, caring, kept me updated, and more. My dog had the best day with all the walks and cuddles she got. Definitely would use Erin in the future.”

About: a dog owner myself and living in an area surrounded by owners who I’ve helped over the years to take care either walk, stay over night, or just a cuddle buddy, I’ve worked from puppies all the way to senior puppies I work full time but my hours vary each day so I know what days work better and will be able to help anyone whenever requests assistance for their loving furry friend my dog is trained off leash, but I don’t have a fenced backyard I love at a dead end so I have a lot of space to run around if need but a big area in neighborhood for walks to the park or just in town.

“Connie did a great job taking care of our cat, Marvel, while we were away for one week. It was the first time Marvel was pet sat without her sister, Tasha, our dog who recently passed. Through this adjustment, Marvel certainly gave Connie a run for her money, but Connie made sure she was handled with care. We appreciated Connie's communication and commitment, and we hope to work with her again in the future. Thank you, Connie!!”

Gina K.

“MaKenna took excellent care of our furry family while we were out of the country. She was great at communicating and providing photos. She was thorough with providing our Daisy her meds and getting to know Daisy, even though she's a bit shy. And Winnie and MaKenna seemed to click right away. It was clear by the photos that both animals had a great time!”

About: I adopted my first dog when I was 9. I took on the responsibility of her care for the next 15 years that she was alive. I have cared for other dogs alongside her as well. My experience with them includes feeding, walks, cleaning cages and outdoor bathroom instances, administering medicine, brushing teeth, bathing, playing, and lots of cuddles! I’ve never been afraid to get my hands dirty and make it my point to respect the boundaries of any animal in my care. I’m lucky enough that I work from home currently, so I have plenty of time between meetings to feed, walk, and play with your pets! I focus on creating a safe and comfortable environment for each pet I care for. In both my home and my client’s home, I follow their established routines for feeding, playtime, and rest to ensure the pet feels secure. During walks, I prioritize safety. I believe in the importance of using proper leashes, avoiding dangerous areas, and tailoring the walk to the dog’s energy level and needs. I also keep the dog’s space clean, offer plenty of affection and mental stimulation, and provide regular updates to the owner so they always feel informed!
