Pet Sitting in Westfield

“Elaine did a great job with my dog . He was safe & comfortable. Put me at ease with communication and the notes & photos that she sent every visit. Thank you so much for taking care of my furbaby while I was away. Will book again if needed for future care.”

“The first time we met Melanie, she came to our house to ensure that our dogs would adapt to her nicely. Melanie has taken great care of our dogs whenever we’ve needed her and has always kept us posted on their playtime, walks, and bathroom breaks! I highly recommend her as someone who diligently not only cares for your animals but keeps you dialed into their activities.”

“Matthew has been a fabulous friend to my Lara, who has been going through the heartbreak of losing a canine companion and needs extra TLC (along with the occasional pee break). He has been reliable and wonderful to have as a part of her emotional support team (and will soon be the same for a new puppy!)”

“10 out of 10 recommend Marlee! She took such good care of our Tofu Baby while we were away. She communicated with us daily; always sending us a recap of the visit with a pictures. It made us feel so at ease knowing someone who was so loving and compassionate was looking after our girl! We will be using her for future visits and will be recommending her to all our Cat friends! Thank you again Marlee! We appreciate you so much!”

“"Booking with Rover and finding the perfect dog sitter was an absolute delight! From start to finish, the experience was seamless and stress-free. The platform's intuitive interface made it easy to browse through a diverse range of experienced sitters, each accompanied by detailed profiles and glowing reviews from other pet owners. After selecting the perfect match for my furry friend, communication was effortless, and I felt reassured knowing that my beloved pet was in capable hands. The updates and photos provided throughout my dog's stay further solidified my confidence in Rover's exceptional service. I highly recommend Rover to any pet owner seeking reliable and loving care for their furry family members."”

“Diane is very nice and she did a great job with Winston. She is very knowledgeable about both dogs and cats. I knew he was in good hands with Diane. When I arrived Winston was happy and content. Thank you Diane!”

About: I'm Anthony. I am a native Jersey Boy and I love animals (especially dogs). I currently do not have a dog. I am in the process of applying to volunteer at a local animal shelter, and have decided to also sign up for Rover to [word] my love for animals. I grew up with both small (yorkies, Maltese's, silkies, and Pomeranians) and large dogs (Boxers). I am particularly fond of small lap dogs and I have owned 3 Pomeranians myself (Bear, Lionel, & Samson!). I am a very responsible pet-owner and sitter who works remotely at a large hospital in NYC. My experience with small dogs is extensive. I've had no problem waking up in the middle of the night raising my puppies and feeding them to prevent hypoglycemia. I've also trained dogs to use both pee pads and to go potty outdoors (a feat that was very impressive to several Veterinarians!). And, as a marathoner, I enjoy walking, jogging, and running with all dogs or an energetic play session in my apartment. Additionally, as a previous owner of pure-bred dogs, I am familiar with breed specific medical conditions and as a healthcare worker am well equipped to administer medication and monitor health concerns and/or issues. For larger dogs, as I am a runner, I enjoy tiring them out (if okay with the owner). I grew up leash training out boxers to jog alongside me. I lead a very active lifestyle, and am a fan of including dogs in the lifestyle (if okay with the owner). As Westfield is a very walkable city, I enjoy taking doggos to coffee shops or dinner al fresco. I work from home 100%. I am a Manager for an NYC Hospital and work 9am - 5pm. I am very active (early morning runs, late evening runs) and am well-equipped to tend and care for dogs with my full attention. We live in an apartment with no other pets and we are fine accommodating your dog's permanent home environment and routine. We have a crate and dog gates.

About: Since high school, I’ve always had pets around me. When I was full-time Army stationed in Alaska, my leadership asked me to dog sit their pets and ever since then I was the go to dog sitter for our Company. I sometimes spent weeks juggling getting to work in the early mornings and getting home in time to take care of their pets and their homes. I enjoyed taking care of their dogs on the day to day! Im renovating my family’s new house and working in the New Jersey Army National Guard so I appreciate getting some steps in and spending time with pets. I like spending time with pets because they live in the moment. I talk and run with them sometimes when on walks to make them feel comfortable with me.

About: I’ve been an animal lover since birth and my mom always says my true calling was being a veterinarian. From dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, birds, geckos, you name it, I’ve raised them. I currently am a mom to 2 rescue cats who are both 7 years old. I would love to adopt a dog again but with my cats it would be impossible so I would love the opportunity to interact with puppies/dogs again! I currently work full time 9-6 Monday through Thursday so I am free anytime after 6pm Monday-Thursdays. I am also free on Friday mornings before 1pm! Both of the cats in my home roam freely therefore I unfortunately would not be able to do any pet sitting inside of my home.

“Lisa was wonderful! I had a death in my family and needed someone asap for my 3 dogs. Lisa came out immediately to meet my boys. She did a great job and I would use her again. Thanks Lisa!”

“Alexandra has been wonderful with my dogs! She takes the time to make sure they are happy, gets plenty of exercise, fed on time, and was also kind enough to come meet the dogs before hand! She’s always on time, super reliable, and communicates really well with updates and photos after every walk/visit. It’s such a relief knowing my dogs were in caring and trustworthy hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a walker who treats your dog like their own.”

About: I am a cat lover, cat owner, and cat shelter volunteer. I love small dogs too! I will follow your directions and give them love. I work at a school, so my summers are free to watch your pets. In September, my hours will be more limited to evenings and weekends. I will follow your instructions exactly. I understand that every animal has its quirks and its own personality. I am always gentle, kind, and patient.

“Nicolette was very caring and attentive to my pups. She kept me updated on their activity and well-being with a full report and pictures. I highly recommend her and will book again.”

About: Hi my name is Coral! I love dogs of all sizes and breeds!! My first dog was a Yorkie named Lilly and I adopted a Doberman named Amber. I’m currently a proud grandma to my son’s Long Haired Dachshund Ralphie. I’m available for dog walks and overnight stays in the owners home. I work in Livingston and would be able to stay in your home and walk your pup before work, on my lunch break and after work. I can be available for dog walks after 6 pm in Livingston. If you live in my local area I can do a walk in the morning 7am and 7pm or later. I can also stay in your home walking them before I leave for work and when I return. I will treat your pet as if they were my own giving them my full attention and be sure to follow any instructions left by the owner.

About: It all started with my late dog, Tucker. A lab mix who was rescued and had aggressive tendencies towards dogs & people. After watching almost every episode of The Dog Whisperer (Cesar Milan) I began to help Tucker get past those fears. I loved taking him on long walks and eventually was walking him off leash. He’s gone 9 years now but I still use the techniques I learned with every dog I interact with. I consider myself the go-to walker, sitter, boarder with a number of family and friends. When the dogs are with me, nothing else comes first. And your furry friends would be no different! I work full time but have a very predictable schedule and very rarely work on the weekends. The office is less than a 10 minute drive from my apartment. When I board at my apartment, your dog is guaranteed to get exercise as I take all visitors on a walk for potty breaks as the nearest grassy area is a park 2 blocks away. But when we go for a dedicated walk, I usually log at least 1-2 miles depending on how healthy your dog is. Walks are the exercise and I try to keep them focused on staying on the sidewalk until it’s time for them to go to the bathroom. That focus helps to drain their energy. I always take time intro the dogs to the apartment properly. I don’t immediately let them loose until we’ve had a chance to walk around together inside. It helps them get comfortable with the new environment and with me. If you enforce prohibiting your dog from being on couches and/or beds, I can certainly continue that during their stay. If not, I don’t mind snuggling with a dog on the couch or bed (as long as they wait for me to invite them up.)

About: I've owned and taken care of all kind of family, friend and neighbors dogs for decades. Boarded, walked, fed them and became their best friend. I am currently working from home so I am available to walk, board or visit your pets any time and can assure you that they will feel very loved! My number one priority is that pets and clients feel safe with me. I am an honest, and trustworthy person. In your home, I will follow directions and respect boundaries to ensure every service provided is a great experience for you and your bundle of joy! Walks will be taken in the neighborhood and visits in-house will only be limited to rooms given permission to be in.

“Kaylyn was very prompt and responsible while caring for our pets, three dogs, cats and rats. She always cleaned up after them and took pictures each visit. My dogs to a liking to her very quickly...somtimes they bark but with her it was no problem. Kaylyn always communicated in a timely fashion. Thank you so much Kaylyn for watching the pets on short notice! We will be using her in the future if she is still available.”

About: Ive been walking and looking after dogs from a young age and have experience with a range of dog types as well as ages. I can provide picture or video updates so you never feel disconnected! I will be available on the weekends as I currently work full time during the week. Week day visits can be arranged if needed though I will not be able to provide at home service but can go to your home and can provide consistent routine that your dog is used to

“Claire was a great help in caring for my two cats during a time when I needed it. She was reliable and stayed in close contact with me, being sure to reach out if she had any questions. She did a nice job of attending to the needs of my kitties. I appreciated the help and will call on her again.”
