“Marlee is fantastic. I have 3 cats, one who requires extra attention. I was away for 4 days. She went above and beyond. Nothing fazed her. She clearly loves cats, and my cats loved her! I will be booking Marlee again.”
“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!”
“Jess was the perfect cat sitter for our 4 fur babies! She followed our very detailed instructions perfectly and was great at sending us photos and video updates. We will definitely be booking her again the next time we need a cat sitter!”
“Deb has been walking our dog Creasy for a few months now. She's reliable, flexible, and a great communicator. She's exactly what you want in a dog walker/sitter. We couldn't be happier. Thanks Deb!!!”
“Shannon was absolutely amazing with our 5 year old pitty. She was so thorough at our meet and greet over Quintley’s routine and needs. Shannon was there twice during the day at exactly the time we asked for. She kept me updated with messages and pictures. Her communication is fabulous. There was no question that our pup was in great hands. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again. The absolute best!!”
“This was our second time booking Taylor, and we will definitely use her again in the future! She is very responsible and follows all the instructions to the letter. We love her updates and pictures, too!”
About: I have over seven years of pet care experience! I unfortunately do not have a dog of my own, due to allergies in my home but I have always loved animals and I’ve always wanted a dog! Because of this, the time that I get to spend with for babies is extra special, and I love on them extra hard! I consistently babysat a golden doodle throughout four years of high school. I also frequently babysit my boyfriend’s 2 golden retrievers, my best friend’s frenchie, my cousin’s labradoodle, my uncle’s 2 puppies and now my brother’s puppy! I am able to work from home, and stay with your sweet pup(s) all day long! My schedule is flexible to mend to your pet’s needs. I look forward to being a helping hand and being a caregiver for your pets! I am unavailable on Tuesdays for walks/stop ins. But every other day of the week, I am able to come check in on your pet multiple times a day and do overnight stays. I prioritize walks and play time to keep your pet healthy and happy! I am also able to take your pet out for rides and nature trails, if that is okay with you! I have worked in childcare for about 10 years and have had many background checks and have worked with all age groups. I believe myself to be incredibly trustworthy and caring. I am completely understanding that it could be a daunting thing to leave your sweet fur babies with a stranger, but I can assure you that they are in great hands with me! I am always willing to set up a meeting beforehand so you can get to know me!
“Dannielle was absolutely wonderful! She is super sweet and we were at ease while traveling knowing she was taking great care of our elderly cat. We appreciated the daily updates she sent. We will definitely be reaching out to her again to care for our cat. This was our first time using Rover as we needed to find someone to come by multiple times a day since our cat has had health issues since the last time we traveled. Everything went so smoothly, and we’re so happy we’ve found a reliable source of care for when we travel again! Thanks again Dannielle!”
About: I’ve owned and/or taken care of cats longer than I can remember. While I’ve never owned a dog myself, I’ve watched my friends and neighbors dogs often. Sometimes people bring their dogs into the office, and everyone knows that’s where you’ll find me. I can match the energy of your pets whether that’s doing loops around my yard, or giving half an hour of ear scratches while they snooze. Please tell me all about your pet, I’d love to know them personally! I work full time, week days from 9am-5pm, but am otherwise available! Weekends are flexible, and I’m also very willing to work after I come home from work, usually by 5:15 or so I have a fenced in back yard, and 3 pretty friendly cats at home. They’re extremely non-threatening and more likely to get scared and hide than anything. I am able to crate or separate pets as needed, I do have an extra room so if a separated stay is needed, it’s no issue. I also have a camera I can set up where needed to check in during the day while I am out. I do also have a basement, it’s not officially finished but I’ve turned it into a safe and comfy enough space that I trust my own kitties to have full access to. Any overnight visitors are more than welcome to have that whole space to be separated in, if owner is comfortable with it!
About: Hi, I’m Bee, and I’ve helped take care of dogs and cats for around 6 years. I don’t have any pets of my own (yet!), but I have assisted friends with dogsitting and also Rover-ing! I’ve also fostered cats, and that has given me an edge in knowing how to make an animal comfortable quickly, especially in a new environment. I also have experience in giving powder, pill, and eyedrop medication. I believe that in order to give your pet the best care, we should work together and be on the same page about your pet’s needs, habits, and anything else you’d like to share! I also love taking photos of them and sending them to update you on how they’re doing. If this all sounds great, send me a message! I work fully remote, so I have time to take your dog(s) on walks generally before 8:30 AM, sometime in the afternoon, and after work at 6 PM. We can work out an appropriate schedule that most closely mimics their usual routine! Within my community, we have a dog park, so depending on how comfortable you are with allowing your dog(s) to socialize with others while you are away, I can take them there or map a new route to avoid the dog park if needed. Around the community we have some good routes for walking as well as a pond in case your pup wants to explore and smell! In my home, we avoid any strong scents, plants, chemicals and cleaning products that could pose harm to animals. Trash is secured in a cabinet.
“Cristina took wonderful care of my 4-month-old kitten for a week while my family and I were out of town. She communicated well, responded promptly, and sent us pictures every day. It was clear that she genuinely enjoyed spending time with my kitten and took great care of her. Cristina followed all of my instructions and went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. Before we returned, she took out the kitty litter garbage and left the bathroom clean and tidy. I would highly recommend Cristina to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and responsible pet sitter!”
About: Hi there! 😊 My name is Anahi and I have been a dedicated pet sitter for the past nine years. It all started when I got my first dog at the age of five 💕🐶 Growing up alongside my furry companion, I developed a deep love and understanding for animals, which eventually led me to become a trusted pet sitter in my community. At the age of 14, I took on the responsibility of caring for not only dogs but also cats, extending my services to family friends and neighbors. Whether it's walking them or giving them a refreshing bath, I take pride in ensuring that each and every pet under my care receives the love, attention, and proper care they deserve. Over the years, I have built strong bonds with the animals I look after, establishing a sense of trust and companionship that makes their time away from their owners as comfortable as possible. With my experience and passion for animals, I strive to create a safe and enjoyable environment for them, making their well-being my top priority. If you are looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter, I would be more than happy to extend my services to your furry friends. Feel free to reach out to me, and together, we can ensure that your pets receive the love and care they deserve while you are away!!!! I have the perfect combination of having a part-time job and a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate ample time to playing and caring for your pet. With my part-time job, I have a great deal of availability on weekdays and can easily accommodate your pet's needs. Whether it's providing companionship, taking them for walks, or even assisting with baths, I am committed to ensuring your pet receives the attention and care they deserve. Having a lot of free time gives me the opportunity to create a schedule that aligns perfectly with your pet's routine. When you choose me as your pet sitter, I will come to your home to provide the care and attention your pet deserves. This arrangement offers several benefits, as your pet can remain in their familiar surroundings, surrounded by their own toys, bed, and comforting scents. This helps to minimize any potential stress or anxiety that can occur when pets are taken out of their usual environment. During my pet sitting visits, I will ensure that your pet's daily routine is maintained as closely as possible.
About: I have hands‑on experience caring for dogs both as an owner and through my work at a pet daycare. I’m skilled in providing daily essentials such as feeding, fresh water, medication administration, and structured walks. I also support general training by reinforcing good habits, maintaining routines, and creating a positive, engaging environment. My calm, reliable approach helps dogs feel secure, stimulated, and well‑cared‑for in any setting. I build their care into the natural rhythm of my day. Before school, I handle feeding, fresh water, and a quick walk or check‑in, and after work I have plenty of time for exercise, training, and attention. Weekends give me longer stretches for enrichment and bonding, so they get steady care throughout the week. I keep pets safe by maintaining a clean, secure environment and following their specific routines and care instructions. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep pets comfortable by sticking to familiar rules and daily habits. In my own home, I provide supervised play, proper enrichment, and a calm atmosphere so pets feel relaxed and well‑cared‑for.
“Carlee is amazing, super responsive, responsible, and communicative! She took amazing care of our cat Praline while we were away! We are lucky to have such an amazing sitter we can trust to watch Praline!”
“She took amazing care of my cat Jack. Everything was perfect from start to finish. I felt completely comfortable knowing Jack was in good hands. I really appreciated the updates and the way she treated him with so much kindness.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Cranford
Jiajia did an amazing job taking care of my cats! She made sure she had all the information and practiced giving my cat medicine before we left. She spent time with my more social cat and I was so surprised to see that my very shy cat that usually hides came out to see her and ask for pets. She is a wonderful cat sitter and I would definitely recommend her and hire her again.
This was our first time using Rover and Georgiana helped us out when our usual sitter wasn’t available. She tended to our 18 year old cat who has some mild health issues and we wert able to enjoy our time away. Georgiana met me before our trip and I was comfortable leaving our cat in her care
Debra was an absolute dream! She took such great care of my cat. She was attentive, courteous, and extremely kind, ensuring that my trip away from home was fun since I was reassured that Debra had everything in hand while I was out of town. I couldn’t be more pleased with her services, I would recommend her 1000% to anyone!
This is the second time Emily has petsit for my 2 cats. As always she was amazing. My first experience was back in February when I had to go on an extended work trip for 10 days. Emily was amazing and my 2 cats warmed right up to her. She took such great care of them. She went above and beyond even making it to take care of them during the blizzard. I cannot recommend Emily enough. She will love your pets like they are her own making sure their needs are met while giving lots of play time and cuddles. She even got my extremely timid cat to take her medicine twice a day- an amazing feat!! Her updates and communication were thorough and put me at ease while I was away. I highly recommend her to everyone in the area and will be booking her for my future pet sitting needs.
Shannon provided cat sitting for my two cats over a period of a week via daily drop ins. She was detailed and thorough in her meet and great. Shannon was intentive to my cats needs, kept me updated throughout my travel, and made sure to exercise my cats the best one can. She easily navigated my automated cat feeders, kept the litter box clean, and made sure to tidy up any messes the cats may have made between visits. I'm sure the boys will miss their daily play time and tube treat sessions with Shannon! Will be sure to book again.
This was my first booking with Brittany for drop-in visits for my cats, and I will definitely be booking her again for future trips! I was very stressed leading up to the trip about finding care my them, but was immediately put at ease after talking to her. She took great care of my fur babies and had amazing communication. She picked up on their quirks so quickly and they loved her. Strongly recommend!
Love the notes that Steven leaves at the end of each visit to tell me about the progress of his interactions with my shyer cat and what he does with my more outgoing one! Makes each time I go on vacation a less stressful knowing my cats are in good hands and the notes and photos are always one of the highlights of my days away!
