About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since tweleve years old, and have had two dogs since I was seven. I am experienced in house sitting, dog walking, and special diet requirements! I have plenty of times to play and watch your animals! I am a morning person so I am able to get over to watch your animals early in the morning and can watch them all day! I have a fenced in yard and two friendly puppies to play with your animals if needed! I also am able to separate the dogs.
“Definitely Daniela is the type of person who loves, cares, enjoy and have a good chemistry with animals, specially with cats. the way Daniela expresses herself about pets and treat them like they were her own pets… that shows her experience with animals and her lovely personality. she did a good job spending time with my cats, feeding and playing with them. One of my cats is female and she is super shy and she takes her time when getting to know new people, but as soon as she smelled and got close to Daniela , my cat became friendly with her and in that moment I knew Daniela was the perfect person to take care of my cats whenever I’m not home. Daniela provided an excellent service and now she is someone who I can totally trust. 10/10.”
About: I have prior experience taking care of a senior dog with attendant medical needs (daily medication given with food and loss of hind leg mobility). I'll be working part-time starting in mid-May 2026, so I'll have plenty of time to care for your dog. I'm available for drop-ins, walks, and overnights. I provide care in your home, secure yard, or neighborhood where your dog is most comfortable! Any special instructions on how you care for your dogs will be followed. Please let me know if your dog has any special needs.
About: For the past 12 years, caring for dogs has been a daily part of my life. I have two of my own who I walk multiple times a day, rain or shine. Their happiness and safety mean everything to me, and that same level of caution and attentiveness is what I bring to every dog I care for. I’m the kind of person who always errs on the side of safety: secure leashes, controlled environments, and constant awareness of surroundings. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I also work part-time at a dog daycare and boarding facility. This means I handle dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities almost every day. I’m trained to read dog behavior, manage group play safely, and make sure each dog feels comfortable and cared for. Whether it’s a shy pup who needs gentle reassurance or an energetic dog who loves adventure, I know how to tailor my approach to their needs. Dogs truly bring so much joy to my life, and I treat every dog I meet with the same love, patience, and respect I give my own. When your pet is with me, whether for a walk or a drop-in, you can feel confident knowing they’re in safe, experienced, and loving hands. I currently am working part time in the morning so I have availability most days in the afternoons or evenings for walks and drop ins. I can be flexible. When doing drop ins and walks it’s important to me to take your lead on what your pet is used to in order to create a relaxed and stress free experience for them.
About: I have a golden retriever and a cat at home, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets. My dog has anxiety, so I’m especially patient, gentle, and experienced with pets who need extra reassurance. Whether your pet is shy, playful, or somewhere in between, I’m attentive to their individual needs and routines. I’m here to provide calm, loving care that keeps them happy and you worry-free. I’m currently on my summer break, so I have a very open and flexible schedule for pet care! I’m available most days and can easily adjust to your pet’s routine. In September, I’ll be starting my Master’s classes three times a week, but I’ll still have plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, or visits around my class schedule. For now, I’m fully available and excited to spend time with some furry friends! I care for pets in their own homes, where they feel most comfortable and secure. I follow your routines closely from feeding schedules and potty breaks to playtime, walks, or cuddle time. I’m very respectful of your space and always make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and calm in your absence.
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.
“Paula was responsive and responsible during the booking and meeting process. I have a 12 week old poodle. He has lots of unbridled puppy energy. he is really just learning how to walk on a leash.. Paula was very patient getting the leash and harness on him as well as walking him. I do appreciate that. I would recommend Paula and I would use her for future walks once my dog matures thank you.👍🏽🙌🏽🙏”
“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.”
“We were a little nervous about this as it was our first time using this app. Thankfully Amanda made the process so smooth. She communicated with me, and took pictures of the dogs, which put me at ease. Will definitely be rebooking in the future.”
“Ashley has been great! She is very reliable and quite a life saver on some last minute requests. My Gracie just loves her and Ashley takes special time with her going above and beyond. 5 stars !!”

When I arrived home from the hospital, Emily, my parents border collie was there to greet me and we became best friends. Ever since that day, dogs and I have been in a constant sync. Wherever I go in public, I’m instantly drawn to pet and greet the dog. I haven’t met a dog who doesn’t enjoy my company, and vice versa.

“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.”
About: I’m a professional dog groomer with 6 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My background has taught me patience, gentle handling, attention to detail, and how to make pets feel safe and comfortable in new environments. I’m skilled at reading dog behavior, maintaining calm energy, and providing attentive, reliable care. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, walks, grooming needs, or simply giving extra affection and reassurance, I treat every dog like family and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine because I work part time as a professional dog groomer and have 6 years of hands-on experience caring for animals. I spend my days working closely with pets, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Outside of grooming, I enjoy continuing that same level of attention through pet sitting by providing walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and personalized care. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and it fits easily into my weekly routine because working with pets has always been a big part of my life. I would care for pets in their home by maintaining their normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and giving plenty of attention and affection. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment while keeping the home clean, secure, and following all owner instructions carefully.
“Kethely has done an excellent job sitting for my uncle's kitties. She is very thoughtful and communicative and clearly has much understanding and deep love for animals. She is also smart and innovative. We really appreciated her effort and would recommend her to anyone.”
“Elaine is so great with our nervous schnauzer. We know he's in the best hands with her and she is very communicative with us when she does her check ins. We will keep rebooking with her and highly recommend her.”
About: I have been pet sitting since I was in 6th grade, and have been trusted to care for the animals of many families. I have the most experience with cat sitting - both indoor and outdoor - but have taken care of dogs many times as well as had a dog of my own for four years! I am adaptable to any needs your pet might have, as I was used to allergies, injury care, and high excitability with my own family dog. I have loved animals all my life and would love to provide any care possible, for any type of pet! I am a college student on break who currently does not have a job, so my days are very available for pet care! I have reliable transportation and will be able to do multiple visits per day. I provide attentive pet care, and follow any and all instructions very well so your pet can have a great time while you are away! I always make time to stay with your pet for some extra time past just being fed or walked, so that they get all the attention they need.
Cranford dog parents share their Rover experiences
Bianca was amazing while my husband and I were away! She was so prompt and followed all our instructions perfectly. She also showed us so much love, care, and patience, especially with our three dachshunds—especially our little guy, who was a bit anxious and timid at first. Dachshunds, especially three, can be a bit of a challenge and can get a little chaotic, but she handled all three with such compassion. She even offered some alternative options when scheduling conflicts came up. Thanks again, Bianca! We’re already looking forward to booking with you again :)
Kerry Ann helped us out with drop in visits while we were away for our senior dog. Kerry Ann was prompt, arriving when we agreed upon, staying the full drop in time length and keeping us informed with detailed Rover cards. My dog is a bit shy and slower at his age. Kerry Ann took her time with him and made him feel comfortable and also followed all instructions we left. I would highly recommend her. She seems to really love dogs in general which is a plus when you are leaving your beloved pet in their care.
Christine did a wonderful job with our 11 yr old dog, who took to her right away when they first met. She sent us photos, fed him each meal. We were impressed with her honesty when she came in to feed him but had to leave quickly, and she returned later at night to stay with him. We certainly recommend Christine. She took care of our dog and gave us a peace of mind. Thank you.
Awesome experience with Lucas and Katherine! A very nice couple that gave our 6 yo 70lb shepherd mix the attention and special care needed to manage her anxiety, epilepsy and diabetes. They were very warm, welcoming and followed our instructions to the T - putting our first timer worries at ease. We will def book again!
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!!
Again, I cannot recommend Emma enough as a sitter for our two dogs. She always shows great concern for them, pays close attention to every detail, and keeps us consistently informed of their status with photos and updates. We have complete confidence with our dogs in Emma's care
Justice has provided really good care for my dog and was very good in all her communications. She provided all the details of my dog with photos in a nice report daily, and left me worry-free during my hectic travel. Really appreciate having her nearby and will definitely reach out to her again if needed.
Nathalia did a great job! She made sure Dior was loved and well taken care of. I strongly recommend her services to anyone out there looking for a loving and compassionate dog sitter that will look after your dog as if it’s her own! I will definitely be rebooking in the future, I can’t thank her enough!
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.
