“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: 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.
“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.”

“Nicole is a rockstar! As a relatively new dog day, I was surprise nervous to start using Rover. But Nicole made the process super easy for me and Grizzly. Simply the best! Highly recommend”

“Claire did a great job taking care of our cats and breaded dragon. I was away for two weeks, she looked after everyone very well, she always made sure to update me and send pictures. Both cat’s and bearded dragon tank are clean when I come back. She is very responsible. I would highly recommended.”

Reliable and caring support whenever you need it. I offer pet care and dog walking early in the morning or in the evening, perfect for busy owners.

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.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since the age of 12. Mostly focused on friends and neighbors but am ready to spread more joy and help. I’ve taken care of pups as young as a couple months and focused on their fine learning abilities through basic training. I’m a huge advocate of dog walks and training in basic skills. I’m currently a student so I do have a good available schedule. I am free weekends for boarding. On weekdays, I am usually free after 3pm. I have a big yard and no pets so no conflicts of that sort would occur. Indoors, I have a special room dedicated and catered to your pet’s needs. At your home, pets will be well taken care of along with your home.
About: Since high school, I’ve always had pets around me. When I was full-time Army stationed in Alaska, my leadership asked me to dog sit their pets and ever since then I was the go to dog sitter for our Company. I sometimes spent weeks juggling getting to work in the early mornings and getting home in time to take care of their pets and their homes. I enjoyed taking care of their dogs on the day to day! Im renovating my family’s new house and working in the New Jersey Army National Guard so I appreciate getting some steps in and spending time with pets. I like spending time with pets because they live in the moment. I talk and run with them sometimes when on walks to make them feel comfortable with me.

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!

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and truly enjoy bonding with pets because they feel like a safe space and the most genuine companions. I have 4+ years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, including feeding, playtime, walks, litter box cleaning, giving attention, and making pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. Friends, neighbors, and family have relied on me to care for their pets with patience, love, and reliability. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I make time throughout the week for feeding, walks, playtime, check-ins, and giving pets attention, comfort, and companionship while their owners are away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a calm environment. I carefully follow feeding schedules, routines, and any instructions provided by the owner. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior, keep their spaces clean, make sure doors and gates are secure, and give them patience, affection, and gentle care so they feel relaxed and protected.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommend! I couldn’t be happier with the care my cats received. I needed someone to stop by twice a day while I was out of town to handle feeding, litter, and give one of my cats thyroid medication (which requires consistent twice-daily dosing), and she was absolutely fantastic. She was flexible with scheduling and showed up exactly on time for every visit, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. It’s not easy to find someone reliable—especially when medication is involved—but she handled everything perfectly. Best of all, my cats clearly loved her. She took the time to play with them and give them attention, which made a big difference. I would absolutely hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring pet sitter.”

Springfield dog parents share their Rover experiences
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.

Jennifer has a special relationship with Jolene - 10 minutes before Jenn arrives, always on time, Jolene starts to get excited and ready for her long walk. Rain, Sleet, Snow, Bad Attitudes (the dog) and even in sickness (Jolene is getting old) - Jennifer is here for us.
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
