“Mia is absolutely delightful. She gave my very needy kitty a lot of attention, playtime and cuddles. She sent plenty of photos and updates. My kitty got comfortable with her immediately. I’m confident in Mia’s care and will definitely be hiring her 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!”
“I booked a date with Esther and Jay so we could meet each other. I also thought it would give my cat an opportunity to become familiar with them. They arrived exactly on day and time we planned. Esther and Jay are warm and friendly and I found them a joy to have in my home. They asked good questions and I knew they would be wonderful caretakers for my cat. Now if I have to travel, I know my cat and my home will be well looked after.”

My schedule is pretty flexible around these things, so just message me and I will let you know my availability.

“Drew was amazing with our very geriatric senior dog! He was so attentive to him that he made his days very comfortable and fun. He provides us updates as to his overall eating routines and his wellbeing. Drew is also very diligent with how he takes high consideration of our dog's needs. We highly recommend him. Thank you, Drew!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for 2 years. I currently work at a doggy daycare and I spend 90% of my time with dogs and I’ve worked with every type of dog and dealt with all different personalities. I'm currently attending school but I am available to take care of your pups usually after 2 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Monday and Wednesday I usually leave around 3 pm and I am free all weekend at any time. I can create a comfortable and safe environment for your dogs. For example being alert for any dangers outside especially with reactive dogs. I have been trained to understand and read body language whether we are in the home , outside or interacting with other dogs.
“Vanessa was amazing! My wife and I wanted to go out of town on short notice, and looking on Rover for someone we found Vanessa. She made us feel confident from the moment we met her that our dogs would be in good hands. She followed every instruction we had to the letter, and made sure to send us lots of pictures and updates on our dogs. She was even able to walk all three of them at one time, which is an impressive feat considering they are all over 70 pounds. We will definitely be using Vanessa again, and if you're looking for someone to watch your dogs we couldn't recommend Vanessa more!”
“Kevin was absolutely amazing with both of our dogs! He sent pictures and updated us the whole vacation on how they were doing. I would highly recommend booking him if he is available. I know we will be using him again whenever we need a sitter!”

“Anna was great! She sent updates throughout the day, and my dog was happy when I got back home. The apartment was also clean when I came back home - Thanks again, Anna!”
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes through my own pets and by helping friends, family, and neighbors. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to make each one feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s going on walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic medications, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I also send photo updates after every visit because I know how reassuring it is for pet parents to see their furry family member happy and well cared for.

I pay close attention during walks, use secure leashes and harnesses, and always keep a clean, calm environment. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, so I strive to provide dependable care, clear communication, and regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Sam was amazing! He stayed at our apartment for 5 days and took such great care of our 55lb Shar-Pei. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing Sam could handle our big pup. We could instantly tell that he knew what he was doing with dogs, and we'll definitely book him again.”
“Courtney was fantastic with our dog and our cat, too. She is very kind and definitely built a great bond with our dog while we were away. We hope to book with her again in the future.”
About: Hello! I am a seasoned sitter with experience with dogs, cats, multi-pet homes. I’ve done walks (previously @ Wag), house sits/overnights, and drop ins. I’m a reliable, responsive and communicative sitter - expect lots of pics! I'm looking to do a decent amount of pet care per week if possible, roughly part-time hours ideally. I recently left my FT job and am looking for income as I complete my yoga teacher training :) I strive to “leave no trace” in client’s homes ie. ensuring the space is as clean as when I arrived, including cleaning up after the pet, if necessary.
About: I have had a dog my entire life, I love dogs! I enjoy going on walks and hanging out with doggies. I have watched my best friends new puppy quite a bit and took care of my family dog Marni when she was a puppy. I will love your doggie like they are my own and play with them until they tire out. Animals are the best. I work in midtown manhattan a 9-5 M-F but it’s pretty lenient. I’m off weekends and totally free for your pets! I can leave work to go check on your pet whenever as well. I play with them, rub their belly, feed them, take them on walks. I enjoy spending times with dogs and will do mostly everything with them if I can.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Cliffside Park is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cliffside Park
We couldn’t have asked for a better Rover in Emily! She sent photos throughout the weekend, gave us regular updates, and replied quickly whenever we reached out. From her updates, it was clear she stuck to our pup’s routine and gave him plenty of walks and playtime. We never had to wonder how he was doing, and we knew he was in great hands the whole time. He was happy and relaxed when we got home. We’ll definitely book her again and recommend her to any dog owner. Thank you!
Ashley was amazing! She stepped in when our care fell through at the 11th hour and far exceeded any expectations. She took excellent care of our Roo: she took her on good walks, did some training, and made sure she was happy and healthy. She provided lots of welcome updates so my husband and I could feel at ease. We will absolutely be choosing Ashley again :)
Shirley was AMAZING! I had such a wonderful experience with her, and Diamond was clearly so loved and spoiled while I was away. Shirley kept me updated throughout my trip and was always quick to respond whenever I checked in, which gave me so much peace of mind. She even went above and beyond by tidying up the place and left both Diamond and the house in perfect shape. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend Shirley to anyone! ❤️
Kaila was a wonderful sitter for our senior dog, who is shy and fairly high-maintenance. She gave him a lot of patience and care, and she sent us frequent updates, so we never had to wonder how things were going. We went away knowing our dog was in good hands. Highly recommend Kaila!
Great sitter who gave us plenty of updates about Millie while we were away, making us feel comfortable with the distance from our cat and confident in the care she was receiving. Came back to a clean house and happy cat - can’t ask for more than that! Book with Robin, she is really great and you won’t regret it!
Anita was such an amazing sitter for my cat Arthur! He is a very social cat and she made sure to give him the attention he needed while we were gone. She made sure to send many pictures and videos of Arthur and was very communicative in general, which I appreciated. She was also incredibly accommodating to our needs and even offered to stay an extra hour on the last evening to make sure Arthur wouldn't be lonely free of charge. Definitely book Anita :)
This was my first time using Rover, and I'm so glad I chose Mo! I had a quick one-night work trip, and she stayed with my very anxious Yorkie, who is still getting used to the city and our new apartment. She took wonderful care of him and put me at ease with updates and pictures throughout the night. She was incredibly responsive from start to finish and even left my home spotless. My pup seemed very happy, and I will absolutely book her again!
Aidan was so caring and professional when it came to my pitbull mix, Base, sending plenty of pictures. I came home to a happy, healthy boy. Aidan was also so sweet to me and respectful of the space he was staying in. As we needed a last minute sitter, I am so so grateful that he was available and really came through. I look forward to hiring him again in the future.
Alexis absolutely saved the day when a family emergency came up and we needed someone to house-sit our energetic lab during a very stressful time. She was understanding and accommodating through multiple scheduling pivots, top-notch with communication, and most importantly she took amazing care of Tilly. Alexis is a life-saver, and I honestly can't say enough good things!
Reese is the best!! We just adopted a rescue dog named Koopa a few weeks ago and Koopa loved her from their first meet-and-greet. Reese pet-sat while we were gone for the evening. She was super patient and attentive to Koopa's needs, taking her on multiple walks and keeping Koopa engaged with her toys. Koopa is a bigger dog and still learning how to walk on the leash appropriately with a trainer, so we wanted someone who could handle that energy on her walks and Reese did exactly that! Koopa has a bit of separation anxiety, and it was such a relief to know she was in great hands while we were gone. Reese is excellent at communication and we appreciated all the updates with photos/video while we were out. We came home to a very happy and chilled out dog! I know Koopa can't wait to get another Reese visit, we will definitely be booking with her again!
We had a great experience and felt completely comfortable leaving our two pups in his care! He was very attentive to their routine and made sure he understood everything they needed beforehand. He also kept us updated while we were away, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Our dogs are still young and definitely have some puppy behaviors that we’re working on, and he was very patient and understanding with them. It was clear that they were well cared for and in good hands the entire time. We came home to two happy pups and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. We’d happily book with him again!
Adeib is a very caring and thoughtful sitter. He came early so that we could go over all of ButtetScotch’s medications etc. He seemed to genuinely enjoy hanging out with our boy and our boy liked Adeib as well. We will definitely be booking him again and recommend him highly. Thanks again Adeib.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Cliffside Park is $75 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $47 and $128 per night. 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 19,267 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cliffside Park. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Cliffside Park walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Cliffside Park maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Cliffside 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
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.
