“Hadija is an outstanding dog and house sitter! We are so grateful for her thoughtful and kind care she gave to our dog, Edna. We had to book a dog sitter on short notice over a holiday weekend and we couldn’t have been luckier that Hadija was able to watch Edna last minute! She sent us regular video updates and made sure Edna kept to her usual routine. It was a relief to be able to travel and know that our dog was so well cared for. We highly recommend Hadija for dog/house sitting. She was also a very courteous house guest.”


About: I’ve loved animals of all shapes and sizes my whole life. I knew as I grew up I wanted to go somewhere with it, I began by offering my services to neighbours and family friends and now like to branch out and help others with their animals. I am good with dealing with dogs that are anxious or just need a little extra care. I would say a skill of mine is being very attentive to their needs and behaviour. I am available most days to do drop ins or walks. I do have a part-time job, the days I work I mark as not available in the Rover calendar, but usually I can make things work. I’m quite a flexible person and I appreciate flexibility from pet parents. My biggest priority are making sure the pets are happy and safe always. I will follow any boundaries in homes I am staying at. If you are crate or leash training that is perfectly okay with me. I will always make sure to know where the dogs are at all times as well. When I am overnight/day sitting I prefer to stay with the animals most of the time

“Friendly. Responsible. Reliable. Caring. A great find for my fur baby.”


“Lana stayed at my house for one night with my puppy Brookie. She did a great job and followed all of my instructions and kept my high energy puppy busy! Sent lots of picture updates too! We will definitely be booking her again. Thanks Lana!”


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. 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.

About: Lifelong pet owner and animal lover that has cared for others four legged friends! Provides a safe, happy, loving, environment for all your fur babies! I am currently on summer break and looking for a part time job! My schedule is open throughout the week and weekends, but is subject to change. I’ll be updating my schedule if any changes in schedule :) I prefer to provide care for your pets in your home! I’m able to feed, walk, pet sit, and provide any additional care that your fur baby may need!

About: I have been around dogs my whole life and I have always loved animals! My dog, Rosie, is a reactive Lab mix and I have had a ton of experience managing dog reactivity through her. I have a lot of patience and attention to detail, and I will make sure your dog’s needs are met and they have a great time hanging out with me! My schedule is currently very flexible, so I have plenty of time to hang out with your dogs! I am available to house sit during the day through the evening hours, and am always open to discuss other times as well! I understand the importance of structure and routine for dogs, so I will make sure to follow every set of instructions and guidelines within your home so that your pups have the same routine while I am spending time with them!

“I can’t say enough good things. Maria sent me pictures daily and kept me updated around the clock, ❤️❤️❤️ One big special request I have is that I have a Himalayan Persian cat and I needed his eyes cleaned every morning and she did beyond a wonderful job. I’ve never seen him cleaner. When I got home the cats always pur because they miss me but this time not even one single purr, that’s tells me they loved Maria’s company so much, they didn’t even miss me!! ❤️❤️❤️”


About: I have worked intensively for 3 years in dog daycare with as many as 30 dogs in a room. Before that I’ve always been an avid dog owner and caretaker for as long as I can remember. I work mornings during the week, so I am available after 1:30 pm weekdays. I am very punctual and reliable, and deeply care for a dogs wellbeing! I prefer to care for pets in a client’s home, although I’m sure there can be some exceptions, although I don’t have a huge amount of space

“We had Dulce come to our place during the day and stay with Bruno while I was away for a few days. She was so good with my boy he absolutely loved her! She walked him twice a day for a good while and played with him and gave him lots of cuddles! Highly recommend considering her to take care of your fur babies! She’ll be the first I reach out to in the future! Thankyou for everything!”


About: My baby is 5 years old currently and I adore her, sitting for others allows her to make new friends. I have gone through training with her. I currenrly work as a substitute, and can pick up jobs when ever I am not busy. So I am pretty much home all day. We will definately partake in long walks, there is a dog park at my complex that is fenced in to get the zoomies out. I will always spend an ample amount of time with your pet so they are not alone.

“Maeve was attentive to Blueberry and the details of caring for her and for my home. I am very pleased to have found Maeve and recommend her highly. I will certainly be working with her again!”


About: I have taken care of animals my entire life. My family and friends count on me when they're in need of help with their fur babies. I can care for dogs of any breed, i love them all! Cats as well! A 3 day notice would be helpful when booking with me, I watch my niece a couple days out of the week so if your fur baby is not friendly it would help me to plan my week out! Thank you!! I have an unfenced yard and no pets at the moment. Your fur baby will have 100% of my attention for whatever they need during their care.

About: I’m a passionate dog lover and proud owner of two furry friends: a Shih Tzu and a Chihuahua. With plenty of experience caring for dogs, I understand their needs and love giving them the attention they deserve. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll or an energetic play session, I’m here to ensure your pup has a great time. Let’s make their walk a joyful adventure! As a college athlete and basketball player, I have a busy and demanding schedule. Balancing classes, practice, and games requires careful planning, but I make sure to carve out dedicated time for pet care because I genuinely enjoy it. Walking and sitting with dogs provides a refreshing break from my routine, helping me unwind and refocus. I typically schedule pet care around my practices, classes, and study sessions, ensuring I can provide the attention and energy every pet deserves. It’s a rewarding way to manage my time while balancing academics, athletics, and my love for animals. When caring for pets through Rover, I focus on creating a comfortable, safe, and fun environment—whether in my home or at a client’s home. For dog walking, I make sure each walk is tailored to the dog’s needs, energy level, and personality. I choose safe, dog-friendly routes and keep the walks engaging with some playtime and treats (if allowed by the owner). For dog sitting in a client’s home, I maintain their routines as closely as possible, ensuring they feel secure and at ease. I provide companionship, regular feeding, and playtime, and I keep the space clean and orderly. As a college athlete with a busy schedule, I’m great at managing my time, which means pets always get the care and attention they deserve.

“Mike was so great! He came in clutch last minute, was communicative and I can tell our girls were well taken care of! We would definitely book with him again, and we highly recommend him!”

I look forward to speaking with you regarding how I can fill your caretaking needs! I have off from work for some time in the summer. I work at a private school that serves individuals with ASD, so my availability until July is open. After July 5th, I have afternoon availability for your pet's needs. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on creating a calm and familiar environment to keep them happy and stress-free. I maintain their regular feeding schedule, ensure fresh water is always available, and take care of any medication needs with careful attention.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since high school! Was never lucky enough to have one for myself, but that’s what makes petsitting so special for me. I love spending time with animals and I truly value the time spent while petsitting! I have currently been petsitting a 1 yr old Staffy/bully mix since she was just a few months old and I love her! I am a full time lab technician and have flexible hours to watch over your furbabies! I have a full time job that is very flexible with my hours. I work as a lab technician so it has taught me to be detail oriented, punctual, and patient. I am free outside of work and would love to occupy my time, whenever need be, to help someone else who needs help watching their dog or cat! My biggest worry is not letting your furbabies run loose! I always check my surroundings before entering a home and be cautious so that no animal runs out or gets hurt in the process. While taking care of pets it is easy to let them run wild and have fun, but we can also do so without making the home messy! I will treat anyones dog or cat as my own, as well as make sure that I leave a home the way it was when coming in.

I offer daily walks and playtime for your furry friend. My flexible schedule, combining graduate studies and part-time work, allows me to give your dog the dedicated attention they deserve throughout the day. Your pup will have a safe haven to explore in my fully fenced-in backyard! They'll have plenty of playtime with my four friendly, senior pups, who are both playful and cuddly companions.

Knowing how important our furry friends are, I'm happy to send daily selfies and welcome your constant check-ins. After all, I understand how much you miss your dog, and I'd miss mine too!

“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.”
