About: Hi there! My name is Jalene, and I’m a dedicated pet sitter based in Cranford, New Jersey. If you’re looking for someone caring, dependable, and experienced to look after your cats or dogs, I’d love to help. I have 2 years of professional experience in animal care, along with a lifetime of hands-on experience as a pet owner myself. Caring for animals has always been something I genuinely love, and I take pride in creating a safe, comfortable, and positive experience for every pet in my care. Throughout my experience working in animal care facilities, my responsibilities included feeding, walking, grooming, assisting with medication administration, monitoring behavior, and providing plenty of companionship and attention. I’ve worked with a wide variety of breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments — from energetic 6-month-old puppies to senior dogs over 15 years old. I’m also comfortable accommodating special diets, unique routines, and detailed care instructions to make sure each pet feels as comfortable and cared for as possible. At times, I handled and cared for over 80 dogs within the facility, which taught me how to stay attentive, organized, and calm in fast-paced environments. Additional responsibilities included maintaining a clean and sanitary space through daily laundry, dishes, and overall facility upkeep. In emergency situations, I’ve been trained to respond appropriately and prioritize the safety of every animal in my care. In May 2022, I received my Pet CPR & First Aid Certification through Paws N Claws 911. My training included identifying signs of illness or distress, cleaning minor wounds, and responding effectively during urgent situations. Whether you need dog walking, overnight care, drop-in visits, or simply someone to give your pets extra love and attention while you’re away, I’m here to help. I understand how much trust goes into leaving your pets with someone else, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I also have four pets of my own, so I completely understand how important it is to find someone who will care for your animals like family. At home, I have a Goldendoodle named Biscuit and three very unique cats named Geo, Snow, and Big-Cat! My availability can be flexible but my typical days are between Monday-Thursday at any time of the day. Friday's I am able to work before 5 pm, Saturday's I have full availability, and Sunday's I am available after 2 pm. All in all, your pets will be in safe and loving hands with me, and I make it my priority to ensure their comfort and happiness while you're away. I would also be more than willing to accommodate any regular scheduling routines or special instructions that you provide. It is my goal to bond with your baby (or multiple fur babies) in order to create a trusting relationship between me and them! Of course, I also want to ensure that you feel comfortable and at peace leaving them in my care so I will undoubtedly communicate effectively at all times!

“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!!!”
“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: I love spending time and caring for pets! While I am new to professional pet sitting/dog walking apps, I have really enjoyed walking dogs for friends, and I do have more than 1 and a half years of experience in childcare to bring to the table - one of which I was working with a special needs child. Working with children has made me incredibly patient, attentive, and nurturing. I am excited to bring the same level of care to your pets and gain more experience. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! My schedule is very flexible during the week. I can work Monday to Friday all hours of the day and occasionally on weekends, some mornings on Saturdays and some evenings on Sundays. I will make sure to keep a good eye on your pet in your home and make sure they are well fed, hydrated, and happy.
“Hazel was extremely attentive to me as I was using the app for the first time. She took great care of Ollie, followed every request I made to make him more comfortable while we were away and always kept me in the loop. She did an amazing job :)”
About: I spent 10 years fostering dogs with a rescue group in Los Angeles and 15 years with my wonderful dog Staci who I miss dearly! I work a part-time retail job mostly in the evening and I’m typically free early and during the day while my kids are at school. Pet comfort is important and I am always respectful of their space in their own home or mine. I also have a large fenced in yard.
About: Passionate animal enthusiast with 12 years of veterinary experience, beginning in doggy daycare and advancing to veterinary care. I offer safe, compassionate, and dependable pet services. I typically work 40-hour weeks, but I always have plenty of days available to spend time with any pet in need. I really cherish the love of a furry friend! My Shih Tzu has always received compliments on her friendly behavior and obedience training. She's allowed to roam freely in the home b/c there are no perishable items accessible to her. It’s important to ensure that all fur babies are respected and their needs are met.

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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cranford
Sara was the ideal pet sitter. She took great care of our dog while we were away. She provided daily photos and videos to keep us informed at all times. Sara is professional, kind and thorough. She followed all instructions and was simply wonderful to work with. We highly recommend her and will use her again.
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.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Cranford stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Cranford 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.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Cranford with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cranford. On Rover:

- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
