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.
“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.”
“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”
“Iris is wonderful - reliable, trustworthy, and a great communicator. She followed all instructions to a tee. She was able to bond with my pets immediately, even my pup who gets nervous when I travel. She left our home clean and orderly... I can barely tell she was here. I look forward to having Iris back!”
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
“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!”
“Brionna was wonderful and took amazing care of our baby! She is extremely sweet and sent us pics of him while we were away. She also communicated regularly via text and asked any questions she had that I could help clarify. We and our dog are thankful to her for such good care and we look forward to having her take care of him again in the future!”
“Asel bonded immediately with River at our meet/greet. River was sad to see her go at the end of her stay. Asel was amiable, professional and positive throughout our trip. She provided regular updates and photos/videos, which were reassuring. We could tell that she was quite engaged with River. She took great care of our apartment during her four-day stay. We hope to have Asel stay with River again on our next trip.”
“Megan was great with Louie! She was punctual, followed his schedule, sent a photo update, and played with him regularly. I came home to a very happy puppy. I will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Arin was the best!! Trooper was so happy and calm after her caring for him and she truly is an animal lover. She was responsible, responsive, and is a genuinely good nice person. I highly recommend her and can’t wait to use her when I have to go away again!”
“Amazing! I couldn’t recommend Alitha more. She stayed with our dogs at our house for more than a week over Christmas: they absolutely loved her and we wouldn’t want to leave our babies with anyone else honestly. Couldn’t thank her enough! She took such great care of them”
“Absolutely awesome! Great communication and was very understanding with my dog that has some unique quirks. I came back to an apartment that was as clean or better than I left it after Emily has watched Benji overnight for 6 days. 10/10 would recommend Emily!”
About: I’ve grown up with/cared for all kinds of animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and more. I have professionally cared for both senior dogs and puppies, including basic training. These were dogs of all breeds, sizes and backgrounds. I currently have two rescue cats and would love to care for some doggies in my free time, as I can’t have them in my apartment! I am currently working part time in the city, and have a very free/flexible schedule. I couldn’t think of a better way to spend my free time looking after your fur babies! If caring for your pet in your personal home, I will keep their routine as close to normal as possible to ensure they feel comfortable. I know animals can get anxiety with sudden change, so I would ensure they feel safe. I am great at giving constant updates/photos, so you can see how your fur baby is doing! I love cuddles if they are comfortable with this, and play time to keep them stimulated.
“Thank you, Olivia! We felt safe and comfortable leaving you with our little Norma Jean. All seemed to be in great order when we returned and Norma Jean was so glad not to have to go to boarding. Norma Jean, Kamala, and Mark”
“Gigi is kind, respectful, tidy and great with my pets. I have three of them which can be a handful to look after but she did a great job at looking after them while I was on a business trip. They all seemed to like her, and when I returned she kept my place very tidy and clean. I will arrange a weekly walking service with her in the future so the puppy can let out energy throughout the day. It was a pleasure working with her!”
“Jorge is just the best! A perfect Match for my 16 years old Lili! Jorge ‘a energy is great, he is smart and kind. He took very good care of my dog. I can only highly recommend his services.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cliffside Park
Jenny took wonderful care of our dog and our apartment while we were away. After our meet and greet, we felt confident we could trust her. She asked thoughtful follow-up questions and clearly wanted to understand our dog's routine. She sent us updates every day, so we never had to wonder how things were going. Even our doormen, who knows our dog well and always keeps an eye on him, could tell how happy he was to be with her. We're so glad we trusted Jenny and would absolutely book her again!
Jessica is warm, friendly, professional, always on time but most importantly: Marshall is head over heels for her. She shows up at our door he squeals with delight and wags his tail so hard he’s at risk of propelling himself into the sky like a helicopter. While we were away, Jessica gave us daily detailed updates, accompanied by photos of our guy having the time of his life. Really lucky to have found her! :)
Kerra has been wonderful taking care of my dog Rosie. Rosie has some special quirks, and Kerra took the time to learn them, followed my instructions to a T, and went above and beyond by helping me sign for a package while I was away and securing a few things in my apartment ahead of a storm. Overall, would highly recommend Kerra and will definitely use her again!
Madison is outstanding!! She took care of our boys (cats) like her own. We came back and they were so content and happy. She played, rub took really good care of them. She sent pictures and videos which really helped put ease to my husband knowing they were well and eating good. Thank you Madison and we will definitely reaching out to her again.
Kyntel was wonderful with Louie! He was right on time, very kind and caring, and kept me updated throughout the day with pictures. I really appreciated how attentive and communicative he was. I would definitely recommend Kyntel and would feel completely comfortable having him watch Louie again! 🐶❤️
Desiree was awesome! My 8 month old pitbull puppy jojo can be a total handful but Desiree was perfect for her - was very high energy and absolutely great with dogs. Jojo loved her! And I felt so comfortable leaving jojo in such capable hands. I knew jojo was going to have a great time. Desiree was also very communicative the entire stay. Would absolutely book again and recommend to anyone!
Sarah was wonderful with Scooby, as always! She kept me super updated while I was away and sent lots of pictures, which I really appreciated. Scooby seemed so happy and comfortable with her and clearly had a great time. It’s such a peace of mind knowing he’s in great hands with Sarah. I’m always happy to have her look after him and would highly recommend her!
Lawrence took great care of my 6 months old puppy while I was traveling abroad for a week. He was also communicative and quickly responsive whenever I reached out or he had an update. I definitely recommend his services and would gladly book him again in the future.
Rachel provided our puppy with excellent care! She asked great questions during our initial m&g and followed all of the instructions I gave her. I loved how attentive Rachel was during her time with our puppy - playing with her, walking her, feeding her treats etc. I would absolutely hire Rachel again!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
