About: Greyhound lady with over a decade training and caring for dogs, including certifying two rescued racetrack greyhounds as therapy dogs through Bright and Beautiful Therapy Dogs. I've cared for five rescue dogs over the years — four greyhounds and a pug mix — handling everything from puppy adjustment to senior care, including medications, mobility needs, and end-of-life support. I use calm, positive-reinforcement handling and I'm skilled at reading a dog's stress or comfort level in real time, so walks stay relaxed and enjoyable. I'm also experienced with nervous or reactive dogs, having safely de-escalated an unleashed dog confrontation while working a mail route. My own dog takes 1.5 hours walk per day. We love Donaldson Park and the Highland Park Meadows, Johnson Park, Cheesequake and Morristown National Park for treats. Safety comes first on every walk. I read each dog's body language and comfort level before we even leave the door, and I adjust pace, route, or duration accordingly — a skill I built training two rescued greyhounds as certified therapy dogs. I stay alert to hazards like other loose animals, traffic, and extreme heat, and I know how to calmly de-escalate a tense situation if one arises. I treat every pet with the same patience and care I give my own rescue dogs, and I communicate clearly with owners before and after each walk so they always know how their pet is doing.
About: I have been loving my dog for the past 6 years, raising him from the day he was born. Through him, I’ve learned how important patience, consistency, and genuine care are when it comes to giving dogs the best experience possible. Over the years, I’ve gained experience walking dogs of all ages and love getting to know each dog’s personality. I believe a good walk isn’t just about getting from point A to point B—it’s about having fun, exploring, and stopping for all the important sniff breaks! 🐾 I’m happy to let dogs take their time, enjoy the outdoors, and make their walk something they genuinely look forward to. My goal is to make every pup feel safe, loved, and excited for their next adventure! 🐕✨ I currently work in a hybrid schedule. On the days that I work from home, I take many walks outside to keep my brain and body stimulated and these would be the days I would be available for dog walks. My WFH days change each week, but I am usually home majority of the week! When I’m caring for a pet in their home, I treat their space and routine with the same care and respect I would want for my own dog. I always make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure and that pets are safe and comfortable throughout my time with them. I follow each pet’s routine and any instructions their owner provides, including feeding, potty breaks, medications, or special needs. I also take the time to give them attention, play, cuddles, and plenty of love. I understand that being in someone else’s home is a big responsibility, so I’m respectful of their space and make sure everything is clean and secure before I leave. Most importantly, I want both you and your pet to feel completely comfortable and confident while you’re away.
“This is our second booking with Alexis for dog care services. She did a wonderful job for us once again. She is caring and thoughtful towards our Ringo and Rosie's needs and respectful and dutiful in our home environment. We appreciate her dedicated care in working with our dogs!”
“Yaqin was great with Fafa! It was too hot outside for a regular walk, so she adjusted the visit and found other ways to keep Fafa active and entertained. She even did some strength exercises with him and gave him plenty of enrichment and attention. I really appreciated how attentive she was and how well she adapted to Fafa’s needs. Would definitely book with her again!”
“Megan M. was amazing with my pack (4) of very large boys! She was friendly and professional! I will definitely use her again if I ever need Rover to cover a day my friends and family can't! The boys definitely made a new friend! 🐾💙”
“Photo evidence of a great visit with Abigail: my dog smiling and rolling around the grass, showing her belly. Abigail also made the effort for a meet & greet to help my dog feel safe with her prior to the drop-in. Thanks, Abigail!”
About: I have a lot of experience volunteering at various animal shelters and caring for cats and dogs of all ages. I have had elderly, disabled and animals in need of help due to an illness in my care as well. I have also had limited experience training younger dogs. I am currently working completely online, so I will have plenty of time to care for animals! However, I will have commitments on most weekends. I have a spacious house, with multiple levels, which can be blocked off in case an animal may not be able to use them. I also have a large backyard with plenty of room for larger animals to run around. I have no other pets. I am also able to crate a dog in case they are crate trained, and am quite flexible with any other accommodations for an animal.
“Thank you so much! I asked for a visit last minute and I’m so happy Yasmine was available. They did everything I asked for, most importantly paying attention to my beautiful Nola. I’m very grateful.”
“Laura was pleasant ,considerate, flexible, and followed directions perfectly. She communicated with me through her drop in and made sure Nova was well cared for ( and got her to poop which is a big deal to us 😂). Would highly recommend!”
About: I’ve had both a dog and a cat my whole life and have grown up with the responsibility to take care of them whether it be feeding them, taking them for a walk, or spending time with them. I also used to dog sit and walk for my neighbor five days a week while I was still in school. I currently only work 4 days a week and am very flexible with my availability. I enjoy spending time with all animals and love finding new ways to get in my exercise My goal is to make you and your pets as comfortable as possible. Whether that be following a general list of what you prefer for your pets or a detailed agenda.
“Gary did a great job. My cat decided to be shy this weekend, but Gary was able to coax her out of her shell a bit. All instructions were followed as explained in the meet & greet.”
“She did an amazing job with our dog Buddy! You will get the best photos of your pet just like we did. We were able to enjoy our vacation without worry! Thank you so much!”
About: I am a part time dog groomer and need another part time dog gig🐾I would love to keep your pup company while you are away! 😊 I work part-time so have plenty of time to fit you into my day! I am very flexible as well, and try my best to make accommodations! I am very well experienced in understanding dog's body languages and their temperament. Whatever type of care your pet needs, I will be happy to offer.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pleasant Plains
Wonderful experience as always. Very attentive and left great notes to ease our anxiety about leaving our fur babies. Took lots of photos and when our hider decided to disappear from view for a few days she asked where to look to ensure she was still healthy and fine. Once again another great service by Christine.
We couldn't have asked for a better cat sitter than Megan. She was always on time and spent time with my cat. From our initial meet and greet to the final visit, she was very professional and extremely reliable. She sent us photos daily. Would definitely book her again!
Brooke was thorough, attentive, and dependable. She visited our two cats twice each day for a week, giving injectable insulin to our one diabetic cat at each visit. Our other cat is very shy and hides but Brooke always located her (usually finding her under a bed!) to make sure she was okay. Would definitely hire Brooke again!
Darshana was an absolutely amazing cat sitter! She took such great care of our cats and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. She was reliable, communicative, and sent us updates so we knew they were doing well. We came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and everything exactly as we left it. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals. We would absolutely trust her with our cats again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter!
Yaqin was great with Fafa! It was too hot outside for a regular walk, so she adjusted the visit and found other ways to keep Fafa active and entertained. She even did some strength exercises with him and gave him plenty of enrichment and attention. I really appreciated how attentive she was and how well she adapted to Fafa’s needs. Would definitely book with her again!
We left our two cats for two weeks—the longest they’ve ever been alone—while we traveled across the country, and we were extremely nervous, especially because one of our cats is very anxious and deeply attached to humans. We found Purva through Rover on our first search, and calling her “sent from animal care heaven” would honestly be an understatement. From the initial meet-and-greet, Purva was warm, down-to-earth, and incredibly reassuring. Before leaving, I set up cameras around the house because we were worried about stress-related behaviors like inappropriate peeing or vomiting, particularly from our anxious cat. Somehow, during those two weeks, our cats seemed happier than when we’re actually home. They were consistently well-fed, the litter box was always clean, and although Purva was scheduled for 30-minute visits each day, she never left until every requested task was completed thoroughly and thoughtfully. Most impressively, our anxious cat—who typically urinates around the house when stressed—did not act out even once during the entire two weeks. That alone speaks volumes. I fully attribute this to Purva’s patience, attentiveness, and genuine care. She arrived on time every day and was even available for last-minute visits during an emergency, which gave us incredible peace of mind. We truly could not have asked for a better cat sitter. Purva exceeded every expectation, and we would trust her with our cats again without hesitation. And one more thing we absolutely loved was that Purva always attended the visits with a member of her family. Safety comes first above everything, and this meant so much to us. It gave us an extra level of comfort and peace of mind knowing she prioritized her own safety while caring for our home and our cats.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Pleasant Plains is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $30 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 5,458 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Pleasant Plains. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pleasant Plains. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
