“Jennifer is a amazing animal carer she was very patient and loving with my cats and they can be a handful as they been heavily spoiled. She communicated everything I needed to know about my boys and made me feel at ease. I would not hesitate to book her again.”
“Jillian was great taking care of our kitty Yoda. She kept us up to date with pictures each visit. She went the extra mile by keeping in touch with us while we were in Spain. We are so grateful.”
“Marlee is very friendly and reliable. I liked that she was very communicative through the entire process. She dropped in on my cat, Majik, a few times while we were away on vacation. Although, Majik is very skittish and would hide away during the times Marlee dropped in, she made sure Majik was fed and that her litter was clean, which is what I needed her help to do. I would definitely book her again in the future!”
About: I’ve been crazy about pets my whole life—raised with two dogs who taught me love and duty, now sharing my days with a feisty cat and keeping up with my family’s three silly pups. I’m here to pamper your furry friends: epic walks, tons of playtime, big cuddles, or just kicking back together. Cats? I’m their brushing and snuggle champ. Baths or meds? Show me how, and I’m all over it. I get a kick out of every pet’s little quirks! Note: my cat’s a lone wolf, so I can’t host at home. Drop me a line to chat about your pet—I’m pumped to give them the fun and care they’ll totally adore! Every morning of the week until 12h30, I can pass to walk and play with your animal. I can maybe be free during the weekend. We need to discuss first. I live for animals and their happiness, with a sharp eye for what they’re feeling. I pick up on stress signals and tweak my care to fit them perfectly, creating a peaceful vibe where they can just be themselves. Whether it’s a burst of play to lift their spirits or a quiet moment to ease their mind, I tune into their world and make it better.

“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.”
“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.”
“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 have been surrounded by cats and dogs of various breeds my whole life and have extensive volunteer experience working with rescue animals. Through this work, I have cared for pets with a wide variety of temperaments and needs, from those that are energetic to those requiring additional behavioral or medical support. As an Animal Science college student hoping to pursue a career in veterinary medicine, I am passionate about animal care and committed to making pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I am currently a college student on summer break, so my schedule is flexible for the next couple of months! My only other commitments at this time are volunteer positions which can be flexible. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort during each visit. I will ensure your pet is always supervised, and that each pet’s routine is followed properly. During walks, I prioritize matching your dog’s energy level while ensuring they are always securely leashed. I am also happy to provide regular updates to owners!
“Ray has been great with Oakley, he’s always excited to see her. She sends pictures and makes sure he has a good walk. Ray is reliable and responsive and I would suggest her over and over again.”
About: My name is Christine and I've been working in pet care- dog walking, pet/house sitting and even dog grooming for 5+ years. I worked as a dog washer at In and Out Grooming in Garwood and am an avid dog walker. I've been a dog owner, and find pet care to be the most fulfilling job I've ever had. I love all breeds, and though I am small in stature I love walking big dogs! I can provide nail clippings and also don't mind doing some general house cleaning if I were to do house sitting and home visits. I have a very flexible schedule, outside of pet care I am pursuing a career in theater. Extremely flexible schedule! I have free daytime hours, while working on a theater schedule. Great for daytime walks and drop ins. Weekends available, don't hesitate to request! I have house sitting experience to keep your pets company while you're away! I've worked with many breeds and personalities of pet in the place they are most comfortable, happy to just spend time with them and adapt to their routines. I also don't mind doing some general house cleaning if I were to do house sitting and home visits.
About: Experienced with puppies and strong pullers. I teach leash manners, basic commands, calm behavior, and provide safe, attentive, responsible care based on lifelong hands-on experience with dogs. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I’m available Monday through Saturday with flexible hours, allowing me to provide consistent walks, visits, attention, exercise, and reliable care without rushing. I prioritize safety and trust at all times. I carefully follow owner instructions, use secure leashes, stay alert during walks, respect routines, and ensure calm, clean, and respectful care in every environment.
About: I've owned a dog since I was young, giving me first-hand experience with daily care and understanding canine behavior. This has led my friends to entrust me with their dogs while they're away. I am currently a full-time student and work part-time at Union County College (UCNJ) in Cranford. I am completely unavailable on Tuesdays and Fridays. On other days, I prefer to schedule appointments after 2:00 PM on weekdays and after 7:00 AM on weekends. Before the appointment day, I will send a one-time PDF sign-up sheet through your preferred method of contact, so I know exactly what you’re looking for in my dog-care services. This sheet will also serve as a reference for future visits.
About: I adopted my first dog when I was 9. I took on the responsibility of her care for the next 15 years that she was alive. I have cared for other dogs alongside her as well. My experience with them includes feeding, walks, cleaning cages and outdoor bathroom instances, administering medicine, brushing teeth, bathing, playing, and lots of cuddles! I’ve never been afraid to get my hands dirty and make it my point to respect the boundaries of any animal in my care. I’m lucky enough that I work from home currently, so I have plenty of time between meetings to feed, walk, and play with your pets! I focus on creating a safe and comfortable environment for each pet I care for. In both my home and my client’s home, I follow their established routines for feeding, playtime, and rest to ensure the pet feels secure. During walks, I prioritize safety. I believe in the importance of using proper leashes, avoiding dangerous areas, and tailoring the walk to the dog’s energy level and needs. I also keep the dog’s space clean, offer plenty of affection and mental stimulation, and provide regular updates to the owner so they always feel informed!
“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.”
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!

Cranford pet 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.
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.

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!
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.
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!
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!
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
