“Ray has been walking our dog for more than a month now. She is very punctual, communicates very well and takes pictures. She takes care of him like her own. She cleans him up after the walk, gives him a treat and ensure he is pampered a bit. Our dog loves Ray.”
About: I've been raising, walking, feeding and nurturing my dogs since 2016. They are part of my family and enjoy precious time walking and playing with the dogs. I'm including parttime work in my life but have the time during the day to walk and nurture the dogs for exercise, feeding,etc. Thank you for my consideration. I live in a condo and the space is clean,comfortable and safe for dogs and people! I make sure hazards are avoided to ensure the safety of my dogs. Thank you
“Diane was great and really took care of my dog Timber on his walk. She was very communicative and I felt very comfortable and knew I had nothing to worry about while I was at work - Thank You!”
About: I love animals! I’ve been a dog mom for 13 years, I’ve fostered over 25 dogs, & have experience cat sitting as well. I’m based in Cranford and grew up in Westfield so very familiar with the area. Animals are my happy place and I love babying and caring for them. As such, I’d like to offer my services to keep your pets happy with cuddles, playtime, and/or exercise while you’re away from them. I have a genuine connection with animals & would love to help them feel less lonely while you’re away. In addition, I can provide a quick dog massage towards the end of my stay if you think your pet would enjoy it! I’ve experienced all different energy levels and weight up to 80 pounds. I provide excellent service through my communication, following direction, timeliness, and genuine care of animals. I’m available on weekends any time. On weekdays, I’m able to drop in 5:30pm and after during weekdays. If you’re close to me, I can drop by early morning and/or lunch time. From being a foster mom to homeless dogs, I’m very cognizant of the safety of animals. I know dogs especially can be easily spooked so I ensure that I have a firm grip on the leash with it wrapped once around my wrist. My dog is a strong pitbull so I feel comfortable handling most large strong dogs. While I’m caring for pets, I talk to them like they’re babies! I’m very much guilty of having a baby voice, but I feel the animals love and respond to it!
“Debra is fantastic. Our little guy is new to the family so she had to deal with us acclimating to him at the same time she did. She keeps me updated on his progress and how her visits go. We're happy to have someone checking on him who treats him like their own!”
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.
“Emily did an amazing job taking care of our dog and loving her as her own. She took the time to get to know our dog's needs and preferences, and communicated clearly and professionally. Thank you, Emily!”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover, school teacher, and part-time pet sitter who’s here to give your pup the love, attention, and care they deserve—especially while you’re away or busy. I’ve had a dog of my own in the past and currently help care for my fiancé’s family dog, so I know firsthand how important it is to have someone trustworthy looking after your furry family member. As a teacher, I’m off during the summer, which gives me plenty of time, flexibility, and energy to focus on walking, sitting, or just spending quality time with dogs! Whether your pup loves long walks, snuggles, or just someone to keep them company, I bring a calm, friendly presence—and a lot of belly rubs. I live in a dog-friendly apartment building and enjoy getting outdoors, so your dog will always have a safe and enriching experience. I’d love to meet you and your dog! Let me know how I can help. I have a flexible summer schedule! I will be away July 24th-August 7th to visit family and friends. I hope to meet you and your dog soon! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, caring environment you can trust—perfect for walks, playtime, or relaxing while you’re away.
“Jaylene is awesome!! We have now used her three times for dog walks, our 4th time is booked for tomorrow, and we intend to keep using her. She is super communicative, flexible with her availability, on time, super sweet and just radiates really positive vibes. Molly, my dog, loves her walks with Jaylene. She goes running to Jaylene whenever she sees her and that says everything. Jaylene is excellent at working out some of Molly’s energy while on their walks. I also love reading about their walks and seeing the pics from their walks on the app (Jaylene always makes sure to let me know what they did or saw on their walks). We are super happy with Jaylene. Definitely recommend.”
About: "Hi there! I am Angie, and I've been a dedicated dog lover and pet owner for over 15 years. When your pet is with me, they can expect a fun-filled day of play, plenty of cuddles, and consistent, safe care. I’ll send daily photo updates to keep your mind at ease.

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: have extensive hands-on pet care experience that ranges from managing medical needs to caring for a large and diverse group of animals. In the past, I took care of an epileptic German Shepherd, which required close attention to medication schedules, monitoring for seizures, and providing a calm, stable environment. Currently, I care for an Australian Shepherd, two cats, five small dogs, a husky, and a fish which has given me experience managing different temperaments, dietary needs, and daily routines across multiple species. This includes feeding, grooming, exercising high-energy dogs, maintaining clean and safe living spaces, and ensuring each animal receives proper attention and care. I currently work at an accounting firm 7am-3pm during the week, but my hours are very flexible and I am always around on the weekends! With so many different animals (dogs, cats, chickens, and even a fish), I’ve gotten used to balancing different needs at once, whether that’s taking the dogs out for walks and playtime, feeding everyone on their schedules, or just checking in to make sure they’re doing okay. I’m also pretty attentive to behavior changes, especially since I’ve cared for a dog with epilepsy before and know how important it is to stay observant. I try to keep things as close to their normal routine as possible so the pet stays comfortable and stress-free. I follow instructions carefully, whether it’s feeding, walking, cleaning, or medication, and I make sure the pet gets plenty of attention and reassurance while their owner is away. I treat every home with respect and every pet like they’re my own, and I usually provide updates so owners feel at ease knowing everything is going smoothly.
About: I can bathe, and brush dogs. I am available to play with, walk and run with dogs as I enjoy exercise! I am also very patient as well I am available as early as needed as my schedule is flexible! However, it is preferred that services are not offered after 11pm at night! I offer dog walking , dog / cat drop in visits, sitting and boarding , however I am unfortunately unable to stay overnight at homes at this time.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cranford
We had a wonderful experience! She came to our home to walk and feed our dogs, and she was always on time and incredibly reliable. She spent quality time playing with them, making sure they got plenty of attention and exercise, not just a quick walk. We also loved receiving regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind knowing our dogs were happy and well cared for while we were away. It’s obvious she truly loves animals, and our dogs absolutely adored her. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional dog walker!
Ariadne has gone above and beyond for my pup and I. She is punctual, communicative and flexible! She stays a bit after the walk to make sure my pup is hydrated and settled before she leaves. She even brought her own bowl for his walk! I went from one or two walks, to hiring her full-time. Amazing!!
Gabriel was great! We needed support with a last minute walk and she was able to accommodate. Gracie had an accident due to excitement and Gabriel made sure to clean it up for us while also being really communicative. She sent us pictures on the walk and made sure to return all of Gracie’s things to their original place. Your pup is in great hands!
Nicalina is truly the best dog walker we could ask for! She’s incredibly communicative, reliable, and always keeps us updated, which gives us so much peace of mind. Most importantly, our dog absolutely loves her, you can tell how excited he gets whenever she arrives. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with, and that makes all the difference. We feel so lucky to have found her!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Cranford. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Cranford.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cranford. On Rover:
- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
