House Sitting Scotch Plains

“Sara was fantastic! We’ve never left our boy with someone other than family before so we were very anxious, but Sara quickly put our concerns to rest. She was extremely communicative and sent us a bunch of pics every day. I’m so glad we found her and will happily use her again in the future!!”

“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!”

“We had such a great experience with Kayla. Our dog struggles with separation anxiety, but Kayla did such a great job to calm his nerves. She was very patient with him and went out of her way to do a meet and greet prior to the appointment. He had such a good time! Highly recommend.”

“I couldn’t have imagined a better sitter than Jess. She went above and beyond to care for our puppy and 2 cats. I received frequent updates and photos and reassurance that everything was going well. Our puppy wasn’t feeling well while we were away and Jess took such good care of her that I didn’t even have to worry. I recommend Jess for anyone that is looking for a caring, reliable and responsible sitter who will love your pet like her own.”

“Coral was dependable and supplied daily pictures and updates of our dog Dean. Dean bonded with her and we are grateful for her support. We would definitely use her services again and we highly recommend her.”

About: I've had dogs all my life, the most recently i had a awesome miniature poodle who I was fortunate to love and care for 17 years, so I am familiar with the needs of senior dogs. My schedule is fairly open every day after about 9 or ten am. I'd like a regular opportunity, but one offs will be good as well I am available for pet sitting at the clients home, but due to younger kids I can accommodate pets at my home. Walking and feeding and playing is ideal

“My dog can be a bit difficult to walk and Armin did a great job dealing with it. He was reliable and responsive and I would definitely recommend him as a dog watcher.”

Kasey S.

“Zharah did an amazing job loving on our babies just as we would while we were away! I only have high praise for the way she communicated with us and cared for our pets. Zharah is well versed on how to take care of your animals big and small. Highly recommend her for all your needs!”

“Maria is excellent! We partner with her regularly to do overnight stays at our house to care for our 4 rescue greyhounds when we are traveling. Highly recommend!”

Shauna S.

“We had River care for our senior Labrador while we were away for the weekend. She was great to work with -- conscientious in her preparations, very communicative throughout the stay giving us updates multiple times each day . She was able to accomodate all of our dog's idiosyncracies. At the end of the weekend everyone was happy! Will definitely work with River again.”

“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!”

Janice D.

“Claire was wonderful and really bonded with our very nervous collie. We got pictures and updates regularly and she wasn’t afraid to ask questions if something needed attention. We’ll be reaching out to Claire again soon!”

Julianne P.

“Rwitika is simply outstanding in all respects whether caring, sense of responsibility, attitude, everything. We will look forward to contact her again as and when we need Brady’s care during our absence.”

RK C.

“Thalia did an amazing job caring for our two girls while we were away. She house sat for us on two separate days and followed everything we had laid out - from their walking schedule to feeding them exactly how they’re used to. It was clear she took the time to make sure their routine stayed consistent. She was also very communicative, sending us photo updates during walks and even at naptime, which we really appreciated. Being away from your dogs can be stressful, but Thalia gave us real peace of mind knowing they were not only well cared for, but genuinely loved on while we were gone. We’d absolutely trust her with them 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.

About: I have grown up around dogs my whole life. My grandparents always had labs, and when I was 9 years old, my family got a boxer named Bailey. Since then, I have been actively involved in caring for dogs and understanding how much love, patience, and attention they need. As I got older, I began dog sitting for neighbors, family friends, and people they connected me with. I have experience with overnight stays both in my home and in the owner’s home, as well as feeding, walks, playtime, giving medication, and keeping pets comfortable while their owners are away. I have cared for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies who need frequent potty breaks and help settling down, to senior dogs who need extra patience, comfort, and support. My own dog Bailey recently passed away after living with Canine Degenerative Myelopathy, which slowly caused her to lose control of her back legs. In her final months, I helped care for her by getting her into her wheelchair, lifting her when she needed help going to the bathroom or eating, cleaning up accidents, and doing everything I could to make sure she felt safe, loved, and comfortable. What sets me apart is that I truly see pets as family. I know caring for them is not just about feeding them or letting them outside. I love spending extra time playing with them, giving them pets, and making sure they feel loved and relaxed. Our pets spend so much of their day waiting for our attention, so I always try to make that time special for them. I will treat your pets like they are my own. Since losing Bailey, I am especially grateful for any opportunity to care for other animals and give them the same love, patience, and attention that I gave her. I am currently a rising junior at Emory University, majoring in Biology on the pre-physician assistant track. This summer, I am working part-time as a medical assistant, which gives me plenty of time to care for your pets. On days I am not working, I can provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I can also provide overnight stays in your home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I will carefully follow all instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medication, crate routines, and any special care your pet needs. I make sure pets get more than just basic care. I love spending time playing with them, giving them attention, and making them feel safe and loved while you are away. I am also very respectful of your home and will clean up after your pet, properly dispose of any accidents, wipe muddy paws, and leave your home the way I found it. I am very observant and will pay attention to changes in behavior, eating habits, bathroom habits, or anything that seems unusual. I am happy to send updates and photos so you feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe and cared for like my own.

“Trisha was absolutely the best! From the very first meet and greet, we knew she was going to take good care of our pups! Anyone who will sit on the floor to pet your do is ok in our book! She kept us informed daily on how they were doing and sent many photos & videos. She even did some vacuuming, washed the bedding she used and picked up the poop in the yard. Trisha will be our first choice anytime we are away. Our pups have requested her for the future too! ?”

“This was my first time using Rover, and let me just say Kortni took away all of the worries and anxiety that I had. She is truly one of a kind. She sent pictures and updates throughout the entire trip. You can see the love she has for pets! I would highly recommend her to anyone! She’s the best!”
