House Sitting in Parsippany-Troy Hills

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 12 and I really love being around animals. Friends, neighbors, and family trust me to feed, walk, play with, and watch their pets when they’re away. I’m patient, reliable, and make sure every dog feels safe and comfortable. Whether your dog likes long walks, playing, or just relaxing, I’ll make sure they’re happy and cared for. I treat every pet like my own and always do my best to make owners feel comfortable leaving their pets with me. I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time to care for your pets since I am home from college. I’m available throughout most weekdays and weekends, which gives me lots of time to give your pets attention, playtime, walks, and care. I enjoy being around animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for when they’re with me. I follow instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, or routines your pet is used to. I’m patient with animals and pay attention to their behavior and needs to make sure they’re happy and comfortable. In a client’s home, I am respectful of the space and make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and care while the owners are away.

“Jessica did a great job caring for Luna. Luna is quite shy and nervous around new people, but she felt comfortable and accepted Jessica right away, which was a huge relief for us. There was a last minute change in the overnight arrangements due to a personal matter, but Jessica communicated this and ensured Luna was well looked after during the day. We were happy to see Luna calm and will be booking her again.”

“Kayla was great! She was on time, easy going and send pics of my dogs while we were away. She house sat and dog sat for us for 4 days/3 nights. Highly recommend!”

“We could not be more grateful for Raechel’s flexibility and communication the last week as we navigated finding pet care for a last-minute funeral. We returned home to a spotless house and happy, well cared for pets - with the TV turned on to one of their favorite programs, a detail that made us so happy. We will absolutely be booking with Raechel again!”

About: New to Rover, but not to pets! I’m offering an introductory rate while I build up my reviews on the platform. See my background in professional pet care below! I bring over three years of professional experience from multiple dog boarding and daycare facilities, in addition to living with my own furry family members since childhood. This background gives me both the technical skills to handle logistics - from managing high-energy playgroups to following strict feeding, and cleaning protocols - and the genuine heart to treat every guest like one of my own. My time at D.A.R.G. (Domestic Animal Rescue Group) in South Africa further sharpened my ability to connect with animals from all walks of life. Special Skills: Medical & Senior Care: I am comfortable and experienced in administering medications. Behavioral Awareness: Having worked with challenging temperaments and diverse energy levels, I know how to read body language and provide the right environment for shy, reactive, or high-energy pets. Cat Specialist: I understand that cats are unique. I approach them with patience and respect - always on their terms - ensuring they feel secure in their own space. Training Basics: I can reinforce basic commands and maintain the structure you’ve already established for your pet. ✨ Why Pet Owners Choose Me • Experienced with both dogs and cats • Comfortable with a wide range of personalities and behaviors • Patient and attentive - great with shy, energetic, or more sensitive pets • Able to administer medications if needed • Reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented • You’ll always receive updates and photos! 📸 Pet care is a consistent part of my daily life. Whether I’m caring for my own pets or helping out friends, I prioritize routine and reliability. My current schedule allows me the flexibility to provide dedicated check-ins, walks, and attentive overnight care. Because I’m used to the fast-paced environment of professional daycares, I’m excellent at time management and ensuring every "potty break" and meal happens right on time. My priority is making sure your pet feels secure and loved while you’re away. When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same respect I show your pets. My Safety Protocol: Detailed Updates: You’ll receive regular updates with photos and videos so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. Routine-Focused: I mirror your pet's existing schedule to minimize any "vacation anxiety." Attentive & Alert: My background in professional boarding has trained me to be hyper-aware of environmental hazards and subtle changes in a pet's behavior or health. Calm Presence: I provide a peaceful environment for more sensitive animals while offering fun, active engagement for those who need to burn off energy.

“Best pet sitter ever!! Gabrielle is communicative, thorough, and great with our animals. We know she does a fantastic job because our animals don’t even miss us!”

“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: As a dog mom myself, I truly understand how much trust it takes to leave your fur baby with someone else. What sets me apart is the way I treat every dog like my own—with patience, love, and attention to the little things that make them feel safe and happy. I have experience with different breeds and temperaments, and I’m especially good with shy or anxious pups who need extra TLC. I’m currently a student and off for the summer, which means I have a super flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the care and attention they deserve. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’m around and fully committed. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at a client’s, I focus on creating a calm, loving, and safe environment. I follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special instructions—so they feel secure and at home. I give lots of attention, cuddles (if they enjoy that!), and keep their space clean and stress-free.

“Antonia was the absolute best!! We were so happy with her watching our fur babies! She was so informative and kept us updated throughout her stay, which we really appreciated. We had never left our dogs with everyone and this being our first time was an absolute dream. She left our house neat, clean and was so conscientious!! Can't thank her enough!!!”

“Nicole is the BEST! She was timely, took great care of Dunston, sent the best pictures, and we felt safe trusting her with our pup and home :)”

“Jennifer is very responsible & reliable. We have a dog that needed special care with introductions and it turned out great with Jennifer's ability to be calm & patient. Tigs made her part of her pack and Mom & Dad were so happy she was so very well taken care of. I highly recommend 🐾😃”

Michelle M.

“Annett was amazing and took such good care of our 2 boys while we were away. She sent videos and pics during her stay which was awesome too. I plan to have Annett come again.”

Kim S.

“Great service! Brad is an excellent communicator, and took great care of our dog and home. He kept me up to date and was always fast to reply. Our house was spotless when we returned and he was very tidy (which was also important to us).”

David H.

“Breanna was very responsive and took great care of Fitz. He is shy and cautious by nature, but seemed very comfortable and happy in the photos and when I returned. I think he had a great time!”

Serena H.

“Amazing care! We got so many pictures and a few videos throughout the 11 days and Hero was well taken care of. He has a habit of eating things he shouldn't and there was only one minor incident that we were told of right away (and thankfully hasn't caused any issues). We're looking forward to booking them again!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals since childhood and previously had 2 dogs of my own. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and providing calm, loving care to both dogs and cats. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs and personality. I have a structured but flexible schedule that allows me to reliably care for pets before and after work, as well as on weekends. I prioritize clear communication and consistency so pets feel comfortable and owners feel at ease. I create a calm and safe environment by following the pet’s usual routine and the owner’s instructions. I’m attentive, detail-oriented, and respectful of both the pet and the home, treating each situation with care and responsibility.

“Chelsea was absolutely wonderful with our dog! Her communication was clear and consistent, and she gave us thoughtful updates that kept us at ease. It was obvious she cared about our pup’s well-being, and we came home to a happy, relaxed dog. We’ll definitely trust Chelsea again!”

“Grace watched our senior pup for a week. He is very boring to watch - he just likes to sleep and hang out (no walks or play - too old for that nonsense anymore lol) Jett is very particular who he likes and he was lying next to Grace by the end of the week! WOW! We are so happy with Grace - always kept us updated on our little guy and was reliable and took care of Jett perfectly! Highly recommend, Grace to watch your babies!”

I also understand how important peace of mind is for owners, and I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. I’m currently a full-time master’s student with a flexible schedule, allowing me availability for dog walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the week.

I understand dogs need love, attention, patience, and reassurance—especially when their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or companionship, I’ll care for your pet with kindness and patience while giving you peace of mind.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ranging from different sizes and breeds since I was 17.
