About: My love for animals started early in life when I decided to rescue a kitten off the streets when I was 10 years old. I went on to rescue one more cat while living with my parents and after moving out was finally able to get a dog. In the last 20 years, I’ve owned and fostered numerous dogs of all kinds. I love being in the company of animals, something about their presence makes me feel whole. I’m currently trying to make my passion, my full time job. This sallows me to be freed up with a lot of availability to take care of your furry children. I will not be offering these services at this time. But in the future if this is offered, any and all dogs will be treated as if they were my own.
About: I have personal experience with dogs/cats for 20 yrs., I’m also the neighbor that takes care of the family pet while on vacation or if their human is running late and they need a quick potty break/walk. I’m currently working part-time with no Wednesdays or weekends. I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pet, especially on your weekend getaways. I have a completely fenced in large backward and a baby gate to the kitchen in my home. Clients home should be safe for their pets and I will follow instruction on how the client wants me to care and play with their pet.

I will be sure to check with owner of where pet is allowed to go in their home and if there are any issues with fences.
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've had dogs all my life, the most recently i had a awesome miniature poodle who I was fortunate to love and care for 17 years, so I am familiar with the needs of senior dogs. My schedule is fairly open every day after about 9 or ten am. I'd like a regular opportunity, but one offs will be good as well I am available for pet sitting at the clients home, but due to younger kids I can accommodate pets at my home. Walking and feeding and playing is ideal

“Alissa was amazing with our diabetic cat, Pacha! We were incredibly nervous leaving her for the first time since her diabetes diagnosis, but Alissa immediately put us at ease. She was always on time, gave Pacha her food and insulin exactly as instructed, and sent wonderful updates and photos after every visit. Pacha is usually anxious, but she clearly loved Alissa (especially the catnip!). We’re so grateful for the excellent care and would absolutely book with her again.”
About: My dog is my whole heart, so I treat every pet with the same love, patience, attention, and care that I give my own. I am comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, bathing, following routines, and giving lots of affection. I also understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine as a dog mom. I am available for pet care around my work schedule, including select mornings, evenings, and weekends. I make sure every pet in my care receives dedicated time for walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention. I am happy to discuss your pet's normal routine beforehand so I can provide care that fits their needs. Your pet's safety and comfort will always be my priority. I carefully follow all instructions provided by pet parents, including feeding schedules, walking routines, crate preferences, and any special care needs. I keep pets supervised, secure on walks, and comfortable in their environment. I also believe communication is important, so I am happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your fur baby is safe and receiving lots of love.

I'm always happy to work out a schedule based on your needs. My goal is to make you and your dog as happy and comfortable as possible. I work from home so I can be flexible depending on your dogs needs.

Claire cared for my 2 dogs in our home for a full week with 2 drop ins per day. Daily pics and comments on how things were going gave me peace of mind while I was away and Claire handled the visits like a pro- she is reliable and caring. My dogs loved Claire’s visits!
We have used Rover every summer to find a pet sitter for our dog Luna. Luna is a Lagotto Romagnolo. No, you've prob never seen one but they look like a doodle. They are a tough temperamental bread. Luna is especially tough because she learned that outside humans are bad.... Thanks COVID. Luna does not like anyone but me (she tolerates the rest of the family. Georgianna clearly has a gift with dogs! Every picture she sent us of Luna showed a happy and content pup. There were no accidents in the house for the entire 8 days away! When we came home, Luna was relaxed and happy. This is not to say that our other sitters weren't good, buy Georgianna is a pro! I am hoping she will be Luna's sitter for the rest of our lives!!!! 5 stars. HIGHLY recommend!
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.
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!
Kate was great! She did a great job over a very busy weekend doing three drop in visits. The dogs loved her and were so good. They were happy to be fed and someone to come say hi. She made sure everything was in order and asked good questions and was quick to respond to my texts.

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 Westfield 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. 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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
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.
