House Sitting in South Plainfield

“Hadija did a great job taking care of our precious Max. She arrived promptly on time and followed all of our instructions. She communicated with us regularly by sending us updates as well as pictures and videos of Max. Max enjoyed playing fetch with her and it seemed like he really took to her. I would certainly recommend Hadija to take care of your pets.”

About: Hi I’m Angelica, i’ve owned so many dogs throughout my life from tiny dogs to big dogs, I currently have two of my own dogs and walk them every day as is, I would love to go on walks with other dogs as well and get some exorcise in with your dogs as well! I adore all sorts of animals! I’m a high school senior, so I get out of school anywhere from 12-1 which is early, so anytime after that I can come walk dogs or take care of cats or whatever is needed of me to do. I do not allow animals in my house but I can come to your house and walk your dog or check on the cat whenever is needed.

“Marissa watched our dog and my daughter’s dog say my home. She was wonderful with them. They’re both a handful seperately so together just imagine. I felt confident and was able to relax and have a good time. I plan to book her again.”

About: Hi! My name is Sandra, and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have over 12 years of hands-on pet care experience and a strong professional background working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I previously worked as a manager at a doggy daycare, grooming, and boarding facility, where I supervised group play, ensured safety, assisted with grooming needs, and provided daily care for multiple dogs at once. I also worked closely with a professional dog trainer for three years, gaining experience with basic training, leash handling, behavior management, and reading canine body language. I currently have four dogs of my own, so I’m very familiar with daily routines, high-energy dogs, seniors, and multi-dog households. I’m comfortable administering medications, following specific instructions, and adjusting care to each dog’s individual needs. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I’m currently working part-time, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and dedicate quality time to the pets in my care. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting, with availability on weekdays 6am-8am and anytime after 4pm and most weekends. I’m happy to communicate and work around your pet’s routine to ensure consistent and reliable care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are extremely important to me. I always follow owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, training rules, and household routines. I’m attentive to behavior, body language, and stress signals, and I prioritize calm, positive interactions. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and keep everything clean and secure. For walks and outings, I use proper leash handling and remain alert to surroundings at all times. With my professional background in daycare and training environments, you can trust that your pet will be cared for responsibly, patiently, and with genuine love.

“Sara was great! Our dogs loved her and she sent tons of photos every day. She was very communicative and followed all the instructions we left for her.”

“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!!”

“Liana was wonderful and took great care of my dogs. She communicated with me sending me pictures and updates. She followed my care instructions beautifully and my home was clean upon my return. She was also very flexible when our flights were canceled. I definitely plan on using her again in the future. She do a great job!”

About: I bring a high level of discipline, reliability, and attention to detail into every pet sitting experience. I’m fully present with every pet, making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for—not just supervised. I’m experienced with a wide range of needs, from energetic puppies that require structure and consistency, to senior pets that need patience and a calm environment. I pay close attention to behavior, routines, and small details that keep pets stress-free while their owners are away. I also take pride in clear communication and respect for your home. You’ll always know how your pet is doing, and you can trust that everything is being handled with care. I aim to provide a level of service that gives owners complete peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I make it a priority to be consistent, attentive, and present. I structure my days so I can maintain regular feeding times, walks, play, and check-ins without rushing. I’m available throughout the day and evening, which allows me to give pets the attention they need, whether that’s active time for more energetic pets or a calm, steady environment for those who prefer a quieter routine. I also keep communication consistent, providing updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to create a smooth, predictable routine so your pet feels comfortable and everything stays consistent while you’re away. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and consistent environment for every pet, whether I’m in my home or a client’s home. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions, so they feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I treat the space with full respect and keep everything clean, organized, and exactly as it was. I’m attentive to safety at all times—making sure doors are secure, pets are supervised appropriately, and their environment stays stress-free. I pay close attention to behavior and energy levels, adjusting care as needed for puppies, adult pets, or seniors. Whether a pet needs activity and structure or a quieter, more relaxed approach, I make sure they’re cared for with patience and awareness. Clear communication is also a priority. I provide regular updates so you can feel confident knowing your pet and home are in good hands.

“You did an Excellent job with our boys. They were Happy and Content when we returned. We appreciated all the pictures and updates along the way. We definitely would like to use you again. Thank you for a great job.”

About: I’m caring and always want to ensure that your loved ones are well taken care of! Communication is key and will always be top priority. I’m currently in between jobs and available to spend all day bringing companionship, love and care to your furry loved ones as well as your space.

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.

“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.”

“Brittany was great to work with! She was communicative, arrived on time and was very responsible and engaging with my dogs. She sent us pictures during her visit and everyone was happy when we came home! We would definitely book pet sitting with Brittany again!”

“My wife and I just had Jennifer stay with our dog for the very first time …. it was perfect! Wylie and Jennifer got along great! Jennifer made him feel loved and comfortable. Wylie has a strong attachment to my wife, but Jennifer won him over. While the Rover website is great and easy to work with, Jennifer walked us through the process, explained what she could do and made us feel good about leaving Wylie in the hands of a complete stranger (a stranger no more). We were equally impressed with how well Jennifer treated our home. We were gone overnight and Jennifer stayed with Wylie in our home. There is no question that I very highly recommend Jennifer to anyone who is the least bit nervous about having a pet-sitter. We plan on using her every chance we get!”

About: Gentle & reliable dog walker. Grew up with a Labrador, so I know the love (and energy!) dogs bring. Your pup’s safety & fun always come first 😊. Right now, I’ve got a dog walk booked from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. every weekday up until January. But, I’m free between 9 a.m. and 12 p.m. on Mondays and Tuesdays. And from Wednesday to Sunday, I’m free between 9 a.m. and 12 p.m. and then from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Let me know if any of these times work for you! My fenced-in backyard and the safety of my neighborhood provide peace of mind. Since I don’t have any other pets in my home, you can rest assured that your pets won’t encounter any issues or conflicts within the household.
