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
“Sara was fantastic! We’ve never left our boy with someone other than family before so we were very anxious, but Sara quickly put our concerns to rest. She was extremely communicative and sent us a bunch of pics every day. I’m so glad we found her and will happily use her again in the future!!”
“This is the first time we are bringing a pet sitter home. Hajida did a phenomenal job taking care of Coco. Coco is 17.5 years old and recently lost her sight. Hajida made her feel very comfortable and bonded amazingly with her.”
“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!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old. I love all animals and enjoy spending time with my furry friends. My mom likes to say I’m somewhat of a dog whisperer😂 I am home for the summer and available everyday. I work at the Florham Park Day-camp throughout the week. Hours are: 8:00 am - 3:00 pm I love to go on long walks with my own dog Ollie. Along with keeping well fed and happy. Im sure he would enjoy some company on his walks! Im prepared to care for any of your pet’s needs.
“I picked Jessica to watch my two dogs while I was away on vacation. It was their first time without family watching them, and typically I would be anxious leaving them. But they loved Jessica, and she was so attentive to their needs! She was great with communication and care. 💜”
“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.”
“Took great care of our two small Chihuahuas. They were very well looked after. We received daily photos and updates while we were gone. It was very reassuring to see them happy and safe.”
“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.”
“Zharah did an amazing job loving on our babies just as we would while we were away! I only have high praise for the way she communicated with us and cared for our pets. Zharah is well versed on how to take care of your animals big and small. Highly recommend her for all your needs!”
“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've been the go-to catsitter among my family and friends since elementary school ! I've worked with indoor cats, outdoor cats, spicy cats, and kittens. I can adjust to your cat's every need ! Though I've mainly cared for cats, I also have experience with more exotic pets like fish, geckos, and tarantulas. I have a 30gal fish tank of my own ! I don't have another job at the moment, so I am available at any time. I will update days of unavailability as soon as possible. I'm very patient so if your pet isn't very trusting of new people, that's okay ! On the flipside, if your pet wants a friend then I can stick around !
“Maria was definitely a 5 star cat sitter! She kept me informed with text messages and photos. I very much appreciated how clean she left my house and she even washed her own sheets! I would definitely hire her again.”
About: Hello, I go by V. I am currently looking for a full time job and am walking dogs in the interim. My schedule is a bit full at the moment, so I cannot take on new clients that need services daily. 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 :) Right now, I am doing pet care full time. Weekday afternoons are all booked up, but I have some available time slots in the mornings and evenings. Weekends I have most of the day open. Please message me with any questions. 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.
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.
“Claire was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of our dog, Charlie, while we were out of town for the weekend. She always kept us updated with texts and photos and took Charlie on a bunch of walks, which he loves! She also took great care of apartment and it was spotless when we got back. I couldn’t recommend Claire enough!”
“Thalia did an amazing job caring for our two girls while we were away. She house sat for us on two separate days and followed everything we had laid out - from their walking schedule to feeding them exactly how they’re used to. It was clear she took the time to make sure their routine stayed consistent. She was also very communicative, sending us photo updates during walks and even at naptime, which we really appreciated. Being away from your dogs can be stressful, but Thalia gave us real peace of mind knowing they were not only well cared for, but genuinely loved on while we were gone. We’d absolutely trust her with them again.”
“I was very hesitant to have a sitter stay at my house . We took a chance on Gabby and couldn’t be happier . She sent us updates on our boy throughout the stay , showed up on time , distributed his meds properly , and followed all our directions for our boy. On top of that she left our house in the same condition it was given to her and took all our mail and deliveries in. Our Zee came back to us happy and as healthy as we left him. I’d definetly recommend Gabby and we hope to use her again.”
About: I make an effort to be calm when I am with and around animals in order for them to know they are safe when they’re with me. I am home from college for the summer! I have a lot of free time. Mornings, afternoons, and nights I have available and every day of the week. I’d love to walk your pet around your neighborhood. Cleanliness and organization are important to me, so I would make sure to maintain those areas of your space for your pet!

Alissa did an in home sitting with my dog Phoebe for a weekend and was amazing. She is an excellent communicator and my dog loved having her there. She is very self sufficient and gave me peace of mind while I was traveling, making it possible for me to enjoy my trip without stress over my dog’s well being. I would recommend her for anyone looking for an excellent dog sitter!
Katie was the absolute best. She went above and beyond for her stay with my high energy pup, taking him on three 2+ mile walks over the course of her stay. She was extremely thorough and detail-oriented, executing each request and keeping our dog on schedule as much as possible. Sending a bunch of pictures and detailed recaps for each visit/walk. We would absolutely love to have Katie watch our dog again!
Our dog can be slow to warm up to new people and is often a bit withdrawn when we leave her with sitters, but she took to Jodi right away. We only had Jodi for a short weekend. She took Piper for 2 walks, despite the brewing nor'easter, and Piper had fun with her.
Emma took care of our two newfies for 6 days and nights. She was very attentive and gave us photo updates every day. We could see how comfortable they were with her. Walking 230lbs of canines combined is no easy feat and she managed them beautifully. We will definitely use Emma’s services in the future. We highly recommend her.
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!
We couldn’t be more grateful to Quinn for the incredible care she gave our older dog while we were away. From the start, she was kind, attentive, and truly caring — it was clear she treated our dog like her own. Quinn took the time to understand her needs and routine, and her thoughtful updates gave us so much peace of mind while we were gone. Our dog is older and Quinn handled everything with such patience and love. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog — a true testament to the wonderful care Riley received. Highly recommend Quinn to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate sitter!
