About: Hi, I’ve had many dogs my whole entire life even puppies from Yorkshire terrier, miniature Doberman pinscher and Chihuahua. I was also a nanny/caretaker during college so have plenty of caregiving experience with transporting children. I have a small 10 pound Chihuahua. She gets along with any type of breed of dog as long as your dog does not bite. She is super friendly and loves to be around all the pets. I work in finance from home and have all day to pay attention / watch carefully and play with your dog while working and also relaxing. Since my small 10 pound Chihuahua is fairly small I prefer dogs less than 40 pounds if coming to my home. Some exceptions for a little bit over 40 lb. My dog does not bite or bark and loves to play all day with other dogs . If I come to your home I can do any dog greater than 100lb. I have a well-kept apartment with a nice balcony and a dog park located on site in my building complex with a beautiful walkable path and grass area to play.
About: I have been taking care of dogs from a young age. My family always deemed me to the go-to when they had to go away and wanted their doggies to be in sweet and well-kept care. I have experience with different breeds, age groups, and attitudes of course. I am currently on a hybrid schedule with my University, which means I am able to do my lessons online or in person. This leaves my schedule free to fit other responsibilities. In my home I try to give the pet the same energy their family gives them at home, if I know their home tends to leave the TV on for them, I will always do that. If it’s a quiet home, we will turn all devices off and make it a laidback spot. In a client’s home, I will follow the same routine instructed by pet owner.

I highly recommend Gulhan to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter! She is wonderful with dogs, very attentive, patient, and genuinely loves animals. She makes sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I would absolutely trust her with my dog and recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and trustworthy!

Tara was amazing with our puppy! She kept us updated throughout the drop ins and called ahead of time to make sure she got all of the necessary information. She is an informed and caring dog sitter and will definitely be booking with Tara in the future! Highly recommend!!

Katherine is truly a hidden gem. She came highly recommended so I’m happy to pay it forward! My pets, including a picky torty cat, have grown to truly love seeing her. I have a lot of peace of mind knowing she’s with them. Book her, just not too much because I need her! 😆

Thank you, Catherine, for taking such good care of Penny and Piggy! She was available on short notice and is very responsible, communicating every step of the way and following all my (excessive) instructions! Will definitely be asking her to drop in again.

Melissa was amazing and we will definitely book her again. She was so sweet with our new pup Stella and really helped us out in a pinch when our previous dog walker couldn’t make it. She sent great photos and detailed recaps of their walks and play time every day. Communication was quick and easy. She even sent pics and interacted with our cat whom she was not looking in on. Thank you so much Melissa!!

Amanda took amazing care of my very young puppy when we were in town for work. She was communicative, responsible, treated my pup with as much love as I would have wanted to give him. It gave me huge peace of mind to know he was being well cared for. We will definitely be reaching out when we’re next in town!

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Weehawken choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

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 .
