“Hadija was an amazing sitter! My dog is very afraid of thunderstorms and fireworks and Hadija made sure to comfort him and make him feel safe. She also provided a lot of updates and left our house in perfect condition. I would definitely book with her again!”
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.
“Victoria is wonderful!! Having to leave our dogs at home is always difficult, but knowing Victoria was taking good care of our pups and giving them lots of snuggles was comforting. She even checked with me about halfway through our trip to see if she needed to pick up more meds for our one dog. She had noticed there were enough meds for while we were gone, but checked to see if we had another bottle or if we needed her to pick one up before we returned. That really impressed me! She also brought various puzzle toys of her own to keep our pups engaged and entertained. We will definitely book Victoria again in the future!”
“Samantha was fantastic with our two large dogs! Rai is blind and Sugar is still a puppy. She managed them both well, was attentive and responsive to our concerns. We will absolutely have her back to stay with them.”

She’ll be the first I reach out to in the future! Thankyou for everything!”

“Jessica, or Jessie as I call her, has had a love affair with cats of all shapes, sizes and breeds since she was a child. She has volunteered at a cat shelter for at least six years, cleaning their areas, holding and gently stroking the sad meowing ones, etc. She will be an excellent cat caretaker. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”

She’s detail-oriented, communicates clearly and regularly, and always keeps me updated with photos and notes, which gives me complete peace of mind when I’m away. What truly sets Kayla apart is her genuine love for animals, her professionalism, and her ability to handle any situation with calm and confidence. Whether it's a last-minute booking or special instructions, she always goes above and beyond. If you are looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and experienced to care for your pets, Kayla is the one.”

“Yao is such a good care taker and has so much love for the doggos! And they can sense it as well they’re always so happy to meet her.”
Christina N.
“Christina would be an excellent addition to the rover network. I can attest to her ability and want to take care of dogs as she has done so for myself and my family. Every year when my family and I take our annual vacations, she has been the go to person that is the care taker for our 2 family dogs (a Yorkie and a Morkie), and she has always exceeded our expectations in helping care for them during the week or 2 that my family and I are away on vacation. She is always timely in making sure that the 2 dogs are fed throughout the day with their typical meals, as well as treating them to treats when deserved. My 2 family dogs are very active and love to be outside in the fresh air, so she makes that a priority ensuring that they have more than enough time walking around the neighborhood, as well as having time to get their zoomies out in our fenced-in backyard. I have no doubt that Christina would be an amazing dog sitter and walker for rover and I would strongly recommend her for your service.”

Dulce was absolutely amazing. She was very patient with Rocky since it was his first time without me. She met him exactly where he was and handled everything with ease and clear communication. She even left the most adorable report card for the stay. I feel very lucky that Dulce is open to dog sitting for us again!
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!!
Maria is fantastic! She has walked and house sat with our dog, Finn. Finn typically takes a while to warm up to new people, but was comfortable with Maria right away. She was accommodating to us and our dog’s unique preferences and needs, highly responsive, shared frequent updates, and was overall wonderful. We will definitely book again!
Definitely recommend Maeve for her house sitting services! She recently took care of our 10 year old husky mix for two weeks while my husband and I were on vacation. She sent daily text and photo updates and was excellent with her communication and assured us she was giving our pup lots of love while we were away (the most important thing, of course!). Maeve stayed over at our house, and took care of it extremely well. She offered to run the robot vacuum, water plants, take mail in, garbage out, etc. all very appreciated and made for a pleasant return home. I have full trust in Maeve in her care for our senior pup and will be happy to book with her again in the future. 😊🐾🐾
We are continually impressed with Rosa. Our dog loves her and is very comfortable around her. Rosa is responsible, very trustworthy, and very easy to communicate with. We also found our place very neat upon return. We highly recommend her, and look forward to booking with her again.
Tipper seems content and happy. Daniela was able to adjust her plans, as we ran into some problems while away, and was even willing to be here an extra night if we would have needed her. I am very thankful for her willingness to help given our difficult personal situation. We would be very happy to have her back to stay with Tipper at another time.
