“Left our three musketeer pups for the weekend, 2 of which are senior and one that requires a bit of extra assistance. We got the cutest and most detailed updates of our pups, and could tell how well taken care of they were while we were gone. Can’t wait to have Stephanie watch and walk our fur babies again next time!”
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. Can absolutely do overnights if told in advance. My schedule can change often, but I’m usually able to 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
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.

“I could not be more pleased with McKenna watching my Lily! She accommodated a last-minute request, and I am so grateful she was available. My Lily can be a handful at times, but she took to McKenna, relaxed, and was a very good girl. I received photos and updates while away, which put me at ease so I could fully enjoy my time away from my fur baby. McKenna is such a lovely, sweet young woman who clearly loves and knows how to care for pets. I felt great having her in my home watching over my sweet, sometimes not-so-sweet, Lily. I would contact McKenna again without hesitation. She is amazing!”

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!

About: I’m a college student who has taken care of family dogs for the last 13 years of my life. I absolutely love all sorts of animals, and I’m looking to turn my passion in animals into money making. Since I am a college student I can definitely use the extra money, and I take excellent care of any and all animals. I can’t say for certain that I’ll be better than professional dog caters but I do have an extreme love for animals and a desire to earn more money to help with college. So I can say for certain though that I would take excellent care of your animals so you would have me back to make more money. That’s all I can say about me really, my passion for caring about animals. House sitting, and pet caring are my full-time job. So I'll be able to put my whole undivided attention into making sure your animals are well taken care of. I have a fenced backyard with an ample play area, and a completely gated-off area to stop any interaction with other animals in the house if needed. I also have the room and ability to crate your animals if needed.

I strive to offer that same level of care and attention, ensuring your dog feels loved, safe, and happy in my care. You can trust that I will treat your dog with the same dedication and affection you do, giving you peace of mind while you're away.
