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
“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.”
About: Currently, I have 2 cats - Polka and Gray that I live with and my mom’s dog, Taco. I am great with all animals and specialize in gentle, quiet environments. I am very patient, kind, caring and I make sure that the animals feel comfortable before I interact with them. On the days that I am available, I am very flexible! I will be sure to provide the time and attention they need. Currently, I am available on certain days in the area. I will be very responsive and read all instructions very carefully. I will also be very respectful of neighbors and surrounding areas / animals. I make sure to properly follow the directions to any animals that need my care. I know safety is number 1 priority. I will be attentive and cautious first, providing the care the animals need second. Proper food access and nourishment followed by play is very important.
“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!”
“My experience with Alitha was wonderful. My anxious and fearful dog took a liking to her immediately. I have never left him with anyone outside of our household, so I was very nervous. Alitha put me right at ease with her lovely demeanor. She sent me updates throughout the day and she made it possible for me to enjoy my daughter's wedding knowing Henry was in very capable and loving hands.I wouldn't hesitate to use her again.”
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.
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I actually begged my parents to let me get a dog, promising them that I would be responsible and take great care of him—and I’ve kept that promise ever since! Taking care of my own dog has taught me how much patience, attention, and love pets need every day. I’ve taught my dog eight different tricks, and I love spending time training, playing, and going on walks with him. Whenever I’m at my grandma’s, I always make sure to walk and spend time with her dog too. More recently, I’ve started dog-sitting for friends, which has given me even more experience caring for dogs with different personalities and needs. I’ll treat your pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I’m a freelance dancer, so I have a flexible schedule and make my own hours. This allows me to make time in my day to give pets the attention and care they need. I’m available for walks, playtime, feeding, and keeping your pet company, and I’m happy to work around their normal routine. I understand that every pet has different needs, so I’m flexible and willing to adjust my schedule to make sure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I treat every pet like they are my own and make sure they are always in a safe, comfortable, and supervised environment. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any special routines or rules. I make sure doors and gates are secure, keep pets away from anything unsafe, and always pay attention to their behavior and needs. I want every pet to feel comfortable, loved, and at home while their owner is away. I’ll also keep owners updated so they can have peace of mind knowing their pet is happy and well cared for.
“Harley was amazing! Our original sitter canceled super last minute, and she stepped in to help us over the long weekend. She took such great care of Nala, gave her lots of love and attention, kept us updated regularly, and left the house clean and well cared for. We were so grateful she was able to help on such short notice and would absolutely book with her again!”
“Alicia did a great job watching Ernie for the day. She communicated well beforehand, took pictures and updated me on how he did, and left the apartment the same as when we left. I definitely recommend her and would use her again!”
“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.”
“Madison was so incredible with Nala! She took really great care of her and sent me lots of updates, and took great care of the apartment. She went above and beyond to help Nala as Nala had recently had surgery, and was wonderful to work with.”
“Gwendolyn did great work house sitting Coco and communicated very well throughout. She left our house in pristine conditions. Thank you Gwendolyn and I look forward to working with you again.”
“Iris took a VERY good care of my pup!! She was constantly sending me photographs and videos of Koala every day without asking, which shows her responsibility and dedication to dog sitting. Koala always looked happy on videos and I could see Koala is in a very good mood and overall state, when I came back. I am sure they had a connection:) I am more than happy I chose Iris as a nanny. Definitely going to contact her again in the future!:)”
About: Hi! I’m Vanessa, a lifelong dog lover. Since I can’t have a pup of my own right now, I’d be honored to take care of yours, and trust me, your fur baby would be in loving hands. A little about me, caring for dogs has become more than just a passion, it’s truly a source of joy and therapy for me. Being around dogs brings me so much peace and happiness, and I pour all that love and energy into every pet I care for. I used to have my own dog, Toddy, a sweet boy I trained myself (he even knew how to play dead!). He spent his final years with my mom (his grandma!) in Venezuela, and sadly, he passed away in March 2024. Not being able to say goodbye to him has been one of the most heartbreaking experiences of my life as an immigrant. But his memory lives on in everything I do, and he’s the reason I connect so deeply with the pets I care for. I love going on walks, playing fetch, or simply sharing quiet time with dogs. I truly believe pets are one of life’s greatest blessings — most days, I think we don’t even deserve them. If you’d like to know more about me, feel free to ask. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby and shower them with the love they deserve. Woof-woof, Vanessa I’m home full time Thursday- Mondays, and if I do need to step out for errands, it’s never for more than 2–4 hours. I live in a calm, peaceful neighborhood that’s perfect for walks, sniff breaks, and relaxing naps. I care for pets with lots of love, patience, and attention to their individual needs and routines. In my home, I make sure they feel safe and comfortable from the moment they arrive. I follow their feeding schedules, administer any medications if needed, and give them plenty of playtime, walks, and cuddles.
“Thank you for everything, Drew! As always, stellar care. We greatly appreciate it and all the special updates we received along the way. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
“Neil watched my dog for 5 nights. He came over for a meet and greet and asked a lot of very good questions. He was on time, sent updates like he said he would, and left my place clean. He let me know of any potential issues and was more than flexible. Would happily book again”
“Look no further for the best person to trust your fur baby with-Razan is simply the best! Super sweet, great communication, truly cares and is sure to put you at ease. Thank you again for everything 💗”

I can't recommend Julia enough! I always struggle leaving my cat Oliver and he can get sad and anxious when I'm away, but I came home this weekend to find him as peaceful and happy as could be, which doesn't always happen. It's such a relief to have someone who's genuinely loving and attentive with him, and who gets to see just how special he is. Thank you so much again Julia! ❤️
Ashley is the best! So reliable and trustworthy. We feel totally comfortable having her stay at our apt to watch our cat. She kept us updated with routine texts and photos while we were away. She was also very understanding when we had to change our booking last minute due to our dog passing away, which we can’t thank her enough for. Thank you, Ashley!
Dahili is fantastic with my dog--who now loves her and is completely comfortable with her--and it takes my rescue dog quite a while to trust someone. Dahili takes excellent care of her and our apartment while I am away. She is communicative, extremely professional and responsible and when she is staying with my dog, everyone is happy!!!
Mark was absolutely fantastic with our 6 month old puppy Fig! So much so that we tried to book him again before our first booking was over! He was attentive to her, taking her out frequently as we’re working on potty training, and even teaching her new tricks! He sent videos and pictures and provided updates. He was also very prompt with timing which we appreciated. He is such a kind and caring person- one we trust in our home and with our furbaby anytime. Doesn’t get better than Mark!
You know when you leave your dog for the weekend and she smells BETTER when you pick her up?! My dog so clearly had a great time with Mary (and her pup Graham!). Mary kept me updated throughout with such great photos, was communicative when needed, and is clearly just so great with dogs. My dog is… big and easily excited, so I worry about walkers/sitters keeping everyone safe on walks and dealing with the pulling. Mary had no issue with this, mostly because I think she’s such a calming and confident presence for my pup. Thanks Mary!!
Rachel was absolutely amazing! She was very responsive and enthusiastic about watching our sweet pug. She was very professional and asked so many great questions at our first meeting- it was obvious she cared a lot about her happiness, health, and safety. She shared so many amazing photos and videos of our pug along with fun updates which were so nice to receive when we were missing her! She went above and beyond and kept our space so clean. I feel so lucky we had the opportunity to have someone as wonderful as Rachel watch her and I would book her again in a heartbeat!
Martine was the best with our older chocolate lab! She took great care of him, followed his schedule and played with him, and gave us frequent updates. And the apartment was spotless when we got back. I would highly recommend and hope to use Martine’s services again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Cliffside Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Cliffside Park on Rover is $75.48 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 19,348 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cliffside Park. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
