About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. I had a golden retriever who sadly passed away 10 years ago and then helped raise and train a collie mix with my parents. After moving out I adopted a dog of my own who needed a lot of behavioral training and patience. I understand what it’s like to have a more difficult pet and am here to help. would love to help care for your dogs like my own. I am unable board your pets in my own home but can pet/house sit at your house or take them on walks regularly I work full time in healthcare Monday-Friday from 8-4 but am available for evening walks. I get major holidays off and am available most weekends to care for your pup as well. I cannot board your dog in my home due to behavioral issues with my own pup however I am able to stay over and care for your pup in the comfortable of their own home. I follow all instructions and guidelines provided to care for your pets appropriately and never allow dogs off leash or to interact with other dogs for safety unless otherwise specified
About: Hi! I’m Zara, and caring for animals has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the past 6 years, I’ve gained experience through dog walking, house sitting, and fostering a wide range of animals, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. A lot of my experience is personal, which I think makes it even more meaningful. I grew up with a family dog and learned early on what it means to be responsible for and truly bond with an animal. I also rescued and raised a stray kitten from just 4 weeks old, which was one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve had. Since then, I’ve continued fostering kittens, puppies, cats, and dogs, all with different personalities, needs, and routines. I genuinely love getting to know each pet and what makes them comfortable, whether that’s long walks, playtime, or just having someone calm and reliable around. I treat every animal like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the week. I’m generally available most days, with limited availability on Monday and Wednesday mornings from 9–1. Otherwise, I’m open and can accommodate a variety of schedules. I always tailor my care based on each pet’s routine and the owner’s preferences. I know every pet is different, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medications, or just how their pet likes to relax. I focus on creating a comfortable, safe, and stress-free environment while giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and care.
About: I happened to work as Sales & Social Media Coordinater for a dog training school a few years back, and that experience changed my whole outlook on how we care for our pets! The dog trainers I created content for taught me about positive reinforcement and reward-based methods in the process. Since moving to a different field I’ve used those skills to handle, walk, and petsit every animal from bearded dragons to cats on the side in a way that’s fun for everyone involved. Animals are my happy place & I’d love to share that joy with your family! I work 9AM to 6:15PM most days, so I am the perfect candidate for your morning and evening walks as well as overnight stays! I can do afternoon Drop-Ins for Short Hills/Essex County residents as well. It’s also no problem for me to house-sit and care for your home as gently as your pets! I’m very flexible - please contact me to find a schedule that works for you! I do not offer boarding services in my own home at this time, but I will always make sure I leave my client’s home as I left it when I visit and care for their beloved one 🐾
About: I’ve always had a soft spot for animals. Growing up with a dog, and later having both my sisters adopt cats. Pets were my first best friends. They taught me love, responsibility, and how much joy animals bring into a home. Now that I’m taking a break from school, I’m leaning into something that’s always come naturally to me: caring for animals. I also have my EMT certification, which helps me stay calm, attentive, and safety‑minded while looking after pups. Making sure they feel safe, happy, and understood is genuinely one of my favorite things in the world. I’m free during the week and occasionally on weekends. Feel free to message me anytime. Things change often, so don’t hesitate to reach out. My schedule is easy to move around, and I’m usually able to make things work with a little heads up. I respond quickly too, so you won’t be waiting long to hear back from me. I’m always happy to help and make things as smooth and easy as possible. Right now I’m focusing on dog walking and stop‑ins since I’m getting started again on the app. I used it for about a month before taking a long break, and now I’m back and excited to build things up. I’ve always loved working with pups, so easing in with walks and quick visits feels like the perfect way to start. Eventually I’ll be offering doggy day care too, but for now I’m all about great walks, reliable check‑ins, and making sure your dog feels cared for every time I show up. If you ever want to talk through what you need, I’m always happy to chat.

“We had our first booking with Jonathan today. He was very responsive and arrived right on time. He remained calm around all three of our dogs. Will book Jonathan again.”

“kendall did an outstanding job with my Rotty, Zeus..She immediately bonded with him upon first meeting. kendall followed my instructions to the letter. She is a very caring animal lover who is such a nice person…book with her, you wont be sorry!”

About: I am a dog mom and also grew up with dogs. I am a SAHM mom of elementary school kids who has extra time to give attention to dogs who need it! I work from home, so my hours and days are flexible. I also have a dog who is super friendly and great with new dogs, so overnight visits or visits in our home (and back yard) would be an additional bonus for our dog. Our dog is crated at night and we have space to crate another dog or two as well. I am confident in walking dogs and taking them to the dog park so those bigger runs and excess energy.
“Cheryl was lifesaver by helping me with a last minute drop in for my two (very large) pups! She gave detailed updates, was sensitive to each dogs needs, and was very friendly. She even stopped by before the first job to introduce herself and meet the pups in person. I would definitely recommend her and will be using her again for my drop in / walking needs.”

“Vanessa was fantastic and professional when she came to our house to walk our dog Roxy. She was prompt, able to calmly interact with our special needs dog and provided multiple pictures and updates during her one hour stay! We will be using her as a regular sitter from now on!”


About: Hi there, fellow pet parents! 🐾 I’m Angelina, and animals have been the biggest part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve been a proud and blessed pet mom for over 10 years and currently have two amazing cats who completely stole my heart. I also had the privilege of loving my sweet dog, Coco, for many years, so I know firsthand that our pets are truly family. Growing up, I was always the kid rescuing every animal I could find—even insects! Caring for animals has never felt like a job to me; it’s what I genuinely love. My dream is to one day open a rescue sanctuary where I can rehabilitate injured wildlife and help neglected animals find a safe, loving home. Whether your family includes dogs, cats, or both, I’ll care for them with the same patience, compassion, and attention I give my own. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust, and my goal is to make you feel completely at ease while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family! Feel free to reach out with any questions—I can’t wait to meet your babies. 🩷🐶🐱 I work completely remotely and have a very relaxed schedule, so my daily routine revolves entirely around the animals. Since I specialize in house sitting, your pet becomes my absolute priority. I can easily work from your couch while keeping them company, planning my day around their existing routine—whether that means early morning walks, specific feeding times, or mid-day playtime. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and consistency so their day feels completely normal even while you're away Since I sit exclusively at your place, my main goal is to keep your pet's routine exactly as it is when you are there. Before our first booking, I love to do a detailed meet-and-greet to learn their favorite spots, bathroom schedule, and any quirks they might have. While staying over, I keep the house secure, double-check locks and gates on walks, and send you regular updates and photos. I treat your home with total respect and your pet with the same love and safety I'd want for my own.
“Amanda was amazing with my two pups! She was super attentive and made sure they were taken care of. Gave me the ease of mind knowing they were loved while I was at work! Will definitely have her again! 😊”

About: Vet tech experience combined with hands-on daycare and grooming work means your pet is in knowledgeable, capable hands. I also have experience working with horses, which has strengthened my confidence & awareness when handling animals. I'm currently working toward a career in dog training and have cared for pets of all sizes, temperaments, and needs through both professional experience and years of pet sitting. I currently work part-time on Tuesdays & Thursdays (9 AM-3:30 PM), with occasional Fridays until 2:30 PM. I'm available for... - Drop-ins: Mon, Wed, Fri (when not scheduled), & weekends - Dog Walking: Weekdays, after 3:30 PM on Tues & Thur, & weekends. - House sitting (overnight): Weekends I am flexible and happy to accommodate schedules when possible! I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for at all times. I follow all care instructions closely and pay attention to each pet's individual needs, behavior, and routine. I also have experience bathing dogs and can provide baths if needed, as long as the pet is not stressed, and it can be done safely. I prefer to do a quick meet-and-greet beforehand to ask/answer any questions and to ensure your pet feels comfortable with me prior.
About: Since 2022, I been blessed by caring for over 300 doggies of all sizes, and breeds. Wonderful dog loving parents, emergent, seniors, 100 lb puppy. Cast of characters . It is a my true passion. No contagious events 🙏 never would my ego overthink your instructions as it pertains to your loved one. You give discipline day-to-day, and know I’m here 24/7. It’s been such a lift in my spirit since 2023. No dog whisper, just grew up as most, w my pet. When I see, and owners agree, meeting doggies they have been with, it a dog friendship craving as mush as humans. It’s an honest business bc your dog, upon return will let you know how it went, lol. Currently, 56 year old male, retired. I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I have 2 loving dogs- Abbey & Blu (pomeranian/ Pomsky) around the 2 years old range. Well trained play safe doggies. I am home, and available all day for your loved one. No crates, alone time, or unsupervised is my guaranteed when booking. Honestly, I have always preferred the company of dogs over humans 🙂. And in my retirement years, i have dedicated my time to caring, and protecting all/ any kind of canine. What is included w bookingmy dog day care from others is 1) private dog friendly community. Safe, isolated, and private dog park area. Gated, pet safe, and walking distance from my residence. In these times, keeping your doggie away from public parks may be your preference 2) I can offer social, safe, healthy play time environment, or complete isolation, based your doggie needs. Would love to meet you and your loved one soon. Respectfully- Robert from Springfield, NJ. Currently -retired mental health practitioner. Therapist over 25 years. I am available weekdays & weekends all morning-night if needed. Your dog will never be left alone. Ive been on Rover since 3/2023 . Also, live in pet friendly community w private fenced dog 🐕 park. I offer many services for small- medium-large size dogs of all breeds. It depends on the doggie. The pet owner is also a customer. The customer is always right. I will depend on their wishes on everything from diet, exercise, walks, off-leash (fenced areas), and socialability. I have ability to private play (i call them red collar doggies) your loved one if it is in pet/pet owners best interest. Strength of my work is my dog friendly community, my own 2 little guys (combined 21 lbs) and developing/ improving on your doggie social world through play skills, w age not always being determining factor.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Florham Park
Emma was amazing with Bronson. She took great care of him while we were away and he was happy and relaxed when we got home. He loved her from their first meet and greet, so we felt very comfortable leaving Bronson with Emma. We would be happy to use Emma again and recommend her to others.

Kendall saved our plans after our usual sitter flaked out at the last minute. She came by the day before to meet the dogs with pretty much no notice. One of our puppies is very high energy and I could tell that he'd been run around enough while we were gone. She was very communicative and kept us updated all day. I'm sure we'll be using her again!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Florham Park 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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
