House Sitting in Newark

“Danielle did an excellent job from start to finish. Because I found out late that our private sitter had to cancel, getting a replacement on such short notice was kind of stressful. Danielle had openings on the needed dates, and she quickly replied to my request. We set up a meet and greet, she came to our house, and the stress was gone. She immediately engaged with both dogs. They clearly liked her. My husband and I went up north, so cell service can be on and off. Danielle sent regular updates which I would see as soon as we were in range. I greatly appreciate that she left the house as neat as it was when we left; actually even neater. I would highly recommend Danielle. Thank you, Danielle for taking such good care of both dogs.”

“Beth and her daughter were wonderful house sitters!! They followed my detailed instructions carefully and there were no issues. Beth sent pictures of my pets and even videos of my puppies playing in the yard. She responded to all my texts quickly with updates as I wanted them. The house was left in perfect order, just the way I left it, and she even washed the sheets and towels they used. I highly recommend Beth and her daughter!”

“We just returned from a 2-week trip to the British Isles. Brandi stayed with Baxter, who we missed terribly. However, he was loved and cuddled and photographed frequently during our absence! We are grateful for her excellent care!”

“Michelle filled-in last-minute when our booked sitter from Rover was unable to fulfill the booking. She was fabulous! She came in advance to meet our pups and to get acquainted, She was flexible with her schedule to accommodate us. Her husband even helped out to backfill for times Michelle had to work (because this was last-minute). She took great care of our pups: feeding, walking, sitting. She sent us pictures and notes daily to let us know how they were doing, and even stripped the bed and ran the dishwasher before she left! We highly recommend her.”

“I can’t say enough good things about working with Phillip! He was kind, professional, and easy to trust with our two hyper and reactive doggos. Above all, it was such a relief to know that our fur babies were being cared for by someone who loved dogs as much as we do!!! We simply relaxed and enjoy our vacation! Thank you, Phillip!”

“Our second booking with Abigail and we are glad we booked again. She’s trustworthy and really takes care of our dog Howard like family. She sends pics and updates us every night. Will be using her again soon!”

About: Hi, I’m Zee, a reliable and compassionate pet sitter with a genuine love for animals of all kinds. With several years of experience caring for dogs, cats, I treat every pet as family—because I know that’s what they are to you. My background as a 911 dispatcher has trained me to stay calm, focused, and dependable in any situation, and I bring that same sense of responsibility to caring for your pets. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, medication routines, or just keeping them company while you’re away, I make sure your furry friends feel safe, happy, and loved in their own home. I understand the trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I’m committed to earning that trust every time. I work a rotating night schedule which is only half of the month. My schedule is flexible and I am open to working around your fur baby’s needs! I care for your pets the same way I would my own, with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs. I take the time to understand their routines, preferences, and personalities so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, walks, medications, or just quiet companionship, I provide calm, consistent care that keeps their tails wagging and whiskers twitching.

“Highly recommend Katelyn! She took phenomenal care of our fur babies. She sent daily updates and pictures which helped ease how much I was missing them. We plan on using her again!”

Chris D.

“We have never used an In-house sitter before that we did not know, Ava did a great job of sending updates letting us know that the dogs lives were "normal". She was at the house a lot so our girls got all the attention they needed. They got outside probably more than with us. No issues with the house, all was the same as when we left. Very good experience for first timers. Will hire her back when the need arises.”

Peter S.

“Laura is the best, hands down! She showed our cats and our home so much care and love, we arrived home to a spotless space and our cats were happy as ever (I swear they sang Laura's praises). Her updates were frequent and she took some of our new favorite pics of our kitties. Can't thank her enough for her patience and attention to our pets.”

Savannah B.

“Allison was great! I have a dog with separation and socialization issues, so Allison spent a day and a half at my home while my husband and I were out of town. She endured a severe thunderstorm complete with tornado sirens, and managed to keep our dog calm and focused. I would highly recommend Allison to house and/or petsit!”

Meredyth P.

“Lashay is amazing! She has sat for me a couple time now and takes such great care of my pup! She does a great job reinforcing the house rules and keeping my fur baby on schedule. She is an amazing communicator and I always know what’s up with my pup. Highly recommend.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and caring for them comes naturally to me. Whether it’s a high-energy pup who needs daily walks and playtime or a senior dog who prefers a calm, steady routine, I adapt my care to fit each dog’s needs and personality. What sets me apart is my focus on overnight, in-home care, so your dog can stay in their safe, familiar space while you're away. I provide consistent routines, lots of love, and a calm presence to reduce stress and separation anxiety. I also offer regular updates, so you can relax knowing your dog is in good hands. Walks, cuddles, feeding, medication—I handle it all with the same love and attention I give my own pets. I work locally and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the attention and care they deserve throughout the day. Whether it’s early morning feedings, midday walks, or evening playtime, I can easily work pet care into my routine. Because I stay nearby, I’m able to check in frequently, keep routines consistent, and be available for any unexpected needs. This flexibility also makes overnight stays smooth and stress-free—your pets won’t be left alone for long stretches, and they’ll enjoy a steady, comforting presence throughout the day and night. When I care for pets in your home, my goal is to make them feel safe, relaxed, and loved—just like you never left. I follow your pet’s usual routine closely, including feeding times, walks, play, medications, and bedtime habits, to keep things as normal and comforting as possible. I respect your home as if it were my own—clean, secure, and peaceful. I keep litter boxes or yards tidy, wash food bowls, and ensure your pet has fresh water and a cozy place to rest. I also provide updates and photos, so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch, quiet companionship, or active playtime, I adapt to your pet’s personality and needs, giving them attentive care and calm companionship in their favorite place: home.

About: Hi! I’m Taylor. Thanks for considering me to look after your fur baby! I have quite an extensive history with dogs and small animals. I have owned several smaller dogs previously with my family growing up, with them ranging anywhere from 3-20 pounds. Currently, I have Luna (pictured!) who is a rescued Pitbull/Bulldog mix from Texas. She is spayed and up to date on all vaccinations. Her and I would love to meet your pup for boarding/doggie daycare! If you’d rather I swing by your place for a quick potty break and a round of fetch while you’re working, that is something I can do as well. I’m very flexible. My animal experience also includes those a little smaller than dogs. I currently have three guinea pigs, Puck, Ryan and Robbie, and a chinchilla named Otis. They are currently housed in an extra bedroom, secured by a baby gate. If you came on Rover looking for someone to watch your small animal, you found the right sitter! Just send me a message 🙂 I work at a hospital a varied schedule so there are plenty of days/nights I have home! It really just depends. My availability is pretty open, but shoot me a message or a booking request to see if I’m available 🙂 I have a fenced in yard at my home. I also have a tie out for dogs that are more Houdini like! I have a backyard camera as well for extra security. In terms of small animals, I have an extra bedroom secured in with a baby gate in which the small animals reside.

About: I have had animals and cared for animals since I was young. On top of my personal animals, I have also dog and cat sat for family friends. I have also dealt with a diabetic cat and it’s shots. I am mostly just available on Fridays after 10:30 and on the weekends. I do sometimes have the availability for an afternoon (after 4) walk or drop in. I can care for your animals as you see fit in your home and follow your standards for your animals and home. If wanting some play time with another dog, I can also bring my own dog, who loves other dogs, for some play time.

About: I have had the joy of being surrounded by pets my entire life. I have been caring for my own pets (family pets included) and also my friends pets. I have pet sit for my parents cats and I have also pet sit for my friends goats and chickens on many different occasions. I have also had the pleasure of taking my friends dogs on multiple walks. I enjoy every minute I am surrounded by animals of many different shapes and sizes. I currently work from home and have the opportunity to have an open schedule during the week. I am available Monday through Friday from 6am - 10pm. Please make appointments at least a day in advance and cancel three days before scheduled appointment, if need be. I provide the best care for every and any animal I come across. For my own cats specifically, I make sure that they have access to fresh water and dry food daily. I also feed them wet food with the cleanest ingredients, 3 times a day. I also make sure to scoop their litter box multiple times a day and change it out every other day. I will transfer this personal experience of mine to your pets by providing them with the best care while also respecting my clients rules and wishes.

About: I've been passionate about caring for animals since I was a little girl. Over the years, I've developed strong bonds with the pets I've looked after. My experience includes working at animal shelters, doggy daycares, and farms, allowing me to interact with a wide range of personalities, ages, and breeds. Currently, I have two rescue kittens (7 months and 3 months old), and I look forward to spending time with your furry friend(s)! I work part time currently at a Dog Daycare and Boarding Facility, but I have a lot of free time and days off to spend time with your pets when you’re at work or out of town:) I live in an apartment so I would not be able to care for pets in my home, but I would be willing to House Sit, and I have a reliable source of transportation.

About: I'm currently in school for my RN. I have worked in Hospice for a few years now, and for awhile I provided doggy hospice for my last pup (Callie) that passed in January of 2022, she was with me almost 17 years. I now have a crazyyyy puppy. I live less than 5 minutes from my job so my pup gets a lot of my time. I do work around 2-4 days a week so I'm looking to fill my free time with more pups and I know my puppy is craving someone to play with. Each dog I care for is cared for in different ways, no care is the same. Some are very high energy and require time and patience. Others are more timid and don't need as much couching.

About: I have 3 cats and 3 dogs. They are my furbabies. I will take care of your furbabies like they are my own. Will feed and clean up after them and do any small chores around your home. Will run errands for them to the vet or store for food or treats. Will stay over if they are not use to being alone. Cuddle them. If they need bathed, I can do that also. I will clean litter boxes and feed and clean up after your cats. Please call or text me and we can discuss more. Looking forward to hearing from you and thank you so much for taking the time to read my profile. Will send pictures and videos while you are away. I work 30 hours a week and will have plenty of time to take care your your fur babies. Will take them to the park and for walks. I do not currently have a fenced in yard. Do have a tie out and will take pups for walks and gos to the park.
