“First time using a pet sitting service for my cats. I found Marcela and read her reviews along with comparing her to other sitters I looked at online. She stood out for me and so glad I chose her to watch my sweet boys Lilo & Stitch. She did a great job while I was away from feeding them, cleaning up the litter box to even brushing their coat. Something that's not easy to do but my cats got comfortable with Marcela after the first day. She's thorough and does a good job. I'd hire her again.”

“Rachel did an amazing job watching our cat Momo while we were away for two weeks. She was so caring, thoughtful, and detail-oriented. We loved how well she looked after Momo and kept everything so clean and tidy. It gave us total peace of mind knowing Momo was in such good hands. We’re so grateful for her help and would absolutely recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a kind, responsible, and trustworthy cat sitter!”

He made sure that we were on the same page about all the care instructions, and his attentiveness put my mind at ease while we were away. Would absolutely book again!”

“Michele was quick to respond to any of our texts while she was taking care of our two cats, and sent us pictures daily. She was so kind as to come two days early to stay with one of our cats who was having some health issues. She paid extra attention to one of our cats who has health/behavioral issues and notified us of any issues the cats were having. We felt comfortable leaving them in her care and would definitely hire her again!”

About: My pet care experience began in 2022 when I helped care for and raise my grandmother’s domestic shorthair cat, whom I still treat like my own. Before 2022, I grew up caring for family dogs, gaining experience with handling, grooming, and caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. Since 2023, I have volunteered at the ASPCA, where I’ve learned from animal care professionals about providing animals with patience, compassion, attention, and consistent routines. I now try to bring these experiences to pet sitting, intending to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and like family while in my care. Hi, and welcome! I’m Ariana, and I’m a part-time dog handler at a doggy daycare, but decided to start pet sitting in 2024 to expand my skills and experiences to help more fur babies thrive! I’m available Monday–Friday with weekends off, giving me a flexible schedule for pet care. My job is also aware that I do pet sitting, so I can always let them know if I need to make any arrangements with my shifts to match your pet’s routine. If anything, feel free to review my calendar for more details on my availability. ¡También hablo algo de español! I live in a small apartment, but I will ensure it’s spacious, clean, and pet-friendly, ready for your pet’s arrival so they can be comfortable, with enough space to play, run, and sleep anywhere they like. I also live with family, including my two younger siblings, aka my two little active helpers, who make sure to be gentle, patient, attentive, and willing to always give me a hand with your pet so they’re never alone or bored.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so I’ve always seen them as more than pets—they’re part of the family. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ve cared for a wide variety of dogs, from Cocker Spaniels to rescued street dogs, each with their own personalities, needs, and routines. I approach every dog with patience, attentiveness, and lots of love. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them comfortable and company, I’ll care for your dog as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Young professional in need of some extra crash that has spare time and energy to lovingly take care of your pets after work and on weekends. I make sure to respect pets and their needs. I have an apartment that is secured, gated and no other animals live on my floor or apartment.

About: I grew up caring for both big and small dogs (and horses!), so I love dogs of all ages and sizes! I promise to treat your furry family like my own while helping to maintain your pet's daily routine, including walks, meals, play (in the home and/or at dog parks), baths, cuddles, and whatever else your pet loves. I currently work as a research assistant at Columbia University/ New York-Presbyterian, so I spend most of my day talking with people. Here, I continue to learn the value and importance of connecting with others. As your pet's sitter or walker, I prioritize communication and comfortability with you to ensure that you feel excited about your pets care. I know I am! I currently work as a research assistant at Columbia University/ New York-Presbyterian. I spend my mornings at the hospital from about 10am-2pm. On any day, I am available either early in the morning or afterwards for walks or play time with your pups. On weekends, I am available for boarding. Every third week, I work from home and would love to board and/or care for your furry family for the week. It's priority to me to maintain the routine your pup knows and loves. I hope to get to know you and your pet so I can incorporate your pet's favorite walking routes, parks, toys, food, and general activity into the care I provide. On a side note, I am a distance runner! If you would like your pet to get some extra energy out, I would love to run with them.

Would highly recommend Eileen and would definitely book her again! I was super nervous to leave my cat for the weekend for the first time as he gets stressed easily and is anxious around new people. My cat seemed really comfortable with her during her visits. She was super accommodating, she came over twice beforehand. The weekend couldn’t have gone any better!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Cliffside Park

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Cliffside Park is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $43 per visit. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 12,889 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Cliffside Park. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cliffside Park. On Rover:

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
