About: I have over 2 years of pet care experience. I love animals and not afraid of things get dirty, mess, scary, or all three with your animal. I’ll make SURE everything is ok 👍🐾🍇🌞 My schedule is completely open, so I can work at whatever hours are good for you. I provide all services except for taking care of pets in my house. I care for pets by making a connection with them, keeping them within there barriers and keeping an eye on them at all time. Ok
“Jebraune was very communicative and it was clear from the first meeting her and my cat Nala were going to get along well. Jebraune went above and beyond, making us so thankful and we have already booked another visit with her. Thank you!!”
“Marlene has stayed with my dog Lexi at our home multiple times when we go away. Marlene is very accommodating, she is able to make last minute changes to her schedule to fit our needs and goes above and beyond to make sure our dog is comfortable, safe, and happy. I really appreciate her flexibility. Our place is always nice and tidy when we come back home. Marlene is very responsive when contacted throughout the day, sends daily updates and pictures and it gives us peace of mind Lexi being in good hands.”
“Bryant was excellent with my senior dog. He was incredibly experienced in terms of my dog’s specific needs, including diaper changes and being mindful of her dementia traits. He was also very communicative and offered multiple updates throughout the day.”
“We'd give 10 stars if that was an option. Alitha did everything we discussed and more. She took care of our Golden Retriever and cat and stayed in our home with them for 10 days. Her daily texts and pictures showed that the animals were happy and well-cared for. It was obvious that she was not only caring for them, but really spending time with them as her messages were always specific to the personalities and actions of each of them. Our dog takes medication daily, and we had complete confidence in Alitha. When we returned, the animals were calm and happy and the house was spotless. We plan to rebook Alitha again and again. The highest of recommendations to this fabulous, sweet, intelligent sitter.”
About: I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and plenty of love for you pets. I've cared for dogs and cats of all sizes and friends and family often trust me with their pets when they're away. I work Monday-Friday full time, but I have flexibility to work from home so my schedule is flexible. I'm happy to arrange my schedule as needed. I am easily adaptable to different environments so I will stick to ground rules set by the client. Strong communicator so will make sure everything goes smoothly.
“Zuleyka was amazing! Spontaneous, very communicative and she handled the pups so so well! Thank you for taking such good care of them! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible dogsitter :)”
“Iris is AMAZING! such a great communicator and got back to me on such quick short notice on taking care of Miko the day before and took care of her like she was her own I absolutely recommend her ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of attention and care I give to every pet. I love keeping pets happy, active, and mentally engaged • Walks around the neighborhood (for the pups!) • Playtime with toys, fetch, tug •Basic training commands (sit, stay, come, leave it) • Interactive play for cats (wand toys, laser pointer or whatever they prefer) • Lots of attention and companionship. Over time, I’ve learned that great pet care isn’t just about doing the basics, it’s about paying attention to the little things. I’m the person who remembers how your dog likes their leash put on, notices when they need a slower walk, and picks up on the small habits that help them feel comfortable and safe. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and I take routines seriously because I know how much pets depend on consistency. I like keeping things calm, familiar, and low stress, especially when their people are away. My goal is always for your pet to feel safe, loved, and understood, while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re with someone who truly pays attention. I offer genuine love and care for every pet I work with, making sure they feel comfortable, content, and cared for while you’re away. I provide regular updates, lots of photos of your fur babies, and quick communication if any concerns come up. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always make sure they get the patience, affection, and attention they deserve. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member and give them the love and care they deserve! I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to the pets I care for. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so I make it a priority in my daily routine, which allows me to spend quality time with your pets, stick to their routines, and give them the attention, patience, and care they deserve. Whether they love to play, or prefer to relax. My goal is to always make sure your pet is comfortable, loved, and cared for like one of my own.
“Diana does really well with my dog who is very anxious about meeting new people. She keeps me informed about everything my dog does and takes great pictures of my dog. She is very good at taking instructions and takes great care of my dog.”
“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.”
“Would highly recommend Razan. She does a wonderful job looking after my two Maine Coon cats, one of whom requires two medications twice daily. I can see they both love having Razan stay. They look comfortable with her and are often photographed snuggled up to Razan. She also looks after my flat and leaves it so clean and tidy. Really, a lovely sitter. I have booked Razan again at short notice for a few days and she was able to accept, which was really helpful and much appreciated :)”
“Taylor took amazing care of our cat!! She sent a ton of photos and kept us updated the whole time. Will definitely be requesting her next time we’re out of town!!! Thank you Taylor!!”
About: Hello! My name is Patty, and I’m a lifelong cat lover who truly enjoys caring for animals. I have two cats of my own, Sol and Luna, both two years old, so I understand firsthand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. I’ve cared for them since they were kittens, and I’m comfortable working with cats of all ages, from playful little ones to more independent adults. Pets have always been a big part of my life, and I know that each one has their own unique personality and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to adapt to whatever makes your pet feel safest and happiest, whether that’s playtime, quiet companionship, or sticking closely to their routine. I’m currently a student at Columbia University, which gives me a flexible schedule for drop-ins and house sitting. I’m also happy to help with small extras like watering plants while you’re away. I’m open to last-minute bookings whenever possible—just send me a message, and we can find a time that works! I’d love to help make your time away stress-free, knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands. I am a full time student at Columbia, so I have a very flexible schedule. I am specifically looking for opportunities to pet sit over the summer when I will have the most availability, allowing me to stop by as often as you would want me to. I treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I pay close attention to their routines, whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, getting in plenty of playtime, or just providing calm companionship. I’m experienced with different personalities and energy levels, so I adapt to what each pet needs. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, or extra patience I am here for it. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are always my top priority.
“Adeib was fabulous! He kept me up to date with everything going on with my dog Cookie and sent me lots of pictures. Adeib is a natural when it comes to taking care of dogs.”
“Michele was great! My cat, Piper, warmed up to her immediately, and Michele was very mindful of keeping Pipers schedule and routines. Would definitely book with her again”
“Collin was great! From scheduling the intro, during, and post his stay with my pups was very communicative. My pups loved him and they both were very happy upon my return which tells me that Collin took great care of them. I definitely recommend and will be using Collin again to watch my fur babies.”

Cammie was amazing. She came to meet my pup in advance and took great care of her. Normally Tilly is stressed when I leave but she was completely at ease when I got back and my apartment was probably tidier when I got back than when I left! Recommend Cammie 100%.
She was great! Our dog Jack is a 60lb Lab and he can be picky with who he likes to be around. Ruby came over for a meet and greet the night before. She was super friendly and she gave Jack some treats to get him to calm down quickly. She asked us our preferences and watched our dog for about a week and stayed at our apartment. She left everything very clean and sent us pictures every day. We highly recommend and would work with her again!
Joseph was super sweet, my girls who have the most separation anxiety from me were so well cared for, they were a little skeptical at first, debut shortly after, the pictures spoke for themselves…my girls were cuddled up in his lap, and happy as can be! He also sat on 4th of July and my girls were not a fan of fireworks, and he was so kind and caring, ensuring that they were comforted and cared for! We’ll definitely have Joseph watch my girls again soon!!!
This is my second time working with Clifmon– he stayed with my cat over the 4th of July weekend and took great care of her. I even reached out to him with a same-day request to see if he could stay with her an additional night and he accommodated that very graciously. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible, communicative, and caring companion for their pet!
Jenica was great with our beagle Wrigley! She stayed at our apartment with him for the weekend and left our apartment spotless. She took great care of our anxious pup and updated us throughout the weekend letting us know he was doing well! We would definitely have Jenica care for Wrigley again!
Mo was wonderful! We were nervous to leave our senior rescue dog behind for a trip because he has some physical handicaps and emotional quirks, but Mo was reassuring, communicative, and we got him back better than when we left him. Will not hesitate to book Mo again!
Katie was an amazing dog sitter. She stayed at our house for over 2 weeks. She walked our dogs, brought them to the beach area, and they were so happy to stay home. She also, got our mail, and boxes we had delivered, and took amazing care of our home. We came home to a clean house. She even washed her bedsheets. Katie is very responsible and caring. We would definitely book Katie again! We think she is the sweetest, and the absolute best dog/house sitter!
Thank you, Madison! Madison took great care of Luna! She was reliable and communicated with us often which gave us great comfort while we were away. Madison sent photos of her time with Luna, of her playing in the park and relaxing at home. Luna enjoyed her time with Madison. I am a recent user of Rover.com and the reviews helped me select a sitter for Luna. I hope this review provides the same support. I would highly recommend Madison - no hesitation.

FAQs for House Sitting - Cliffside Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Cliffside Park on Rover is $73.82 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 19,126 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

- 97% 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.
