“I’m very grateful for the care and love you gave to Bella during these two days. You followed all the instructions perfectly, kept everything clean and organized, and made sure she felt comfortable and happy. I really appreciated the photos and updates—it gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I could tell Bella was in great hands. Thank you so much for your help and kindness!”

“Melissa was amazing and we will definitely book her again. She was so sweet with our new pup Stella and really helped us out in a pinch when our previous dog walker couldn’t make it. She sent great photos and detailed recaps of their walks and play time every day. Communication was quick and easy. She even sent pics and interacted with our cat whom she was not looking in on. Thank you so much Melissa!!”

My dog was comfortable with her right away, and I felt confident leaving him in her care. I would absolutely recommend Vanessa to anyone looking for a reliable and professional dog sitter!”

“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.”

About: As a lifelong dog owner and dedicated pet lover, I bring years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. Having raised and cared for my own dogs throughout my life, I fully understand the deep responsibility and attention to detail required to keep a pet healthy, safe, and happy. In addition to caring for my own pets, I am the go-to dog sitter for my friends, family, and neighbors. Whether it’s staying over for multi-day house sitting, providing midday check-ins, or leading energetic daily walks, I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. I am experienced with maintaining precise feeding schedules, administering medications, reinforcing basic training, and giving plenty of play time and belly rubs. When your dog is with me, you can expect open communication, regular photo updates, and complete peace of mind knowing your pup is in caring, trustworthy hands I work from home which means my schedule is flexible! I can help out in between meetings and work with a dogs needs as long as I know ahead of time. If it is okay with you, I also can work from your house and even bring my dog (if your dog is friendly) to spend extra time with the pup! Leash & Apartment Safety: Residing in an apartment means I am highly attentive during on-leash neighborhood walks, always keeping a firm grip, staying alert to surrounding distractions, and ensuring secure building entries and exits. Off-Leash & Trail Expertise: I regularly take my own well-trained dog to off-leash dog parks and hiking trails for exercise. While I only keep dogs off-leash with explicit owner permission, I am skilled at managing energy and maintaining control in open environments.

About: Hi, I'm Janise! Thanks for stopping by. I'd love to meet your pup and give them a home away from home. 😊 Feel free to reach out with any questions. I can't wait to meet your pup! 🐶🥰 I'm a teacher's apprentice, so I work a school schedule. I'm home in the afternoons and off on holidays and school breaks. I live with my parents, husband and kids so your dog will rarely be alone. And of course there's my dog Frankie. She's kind, social, and always happy to make a new friend. I keep each dog on their normal routine for meals, walks, and any meds. Our backyard gives them room to run and play, with supervise outdoor time. New dogs meet Frankie slowly so everyone feels comfortable. We can also do a meet and greet first so I can learn your dog's habits and personality.

About: I’ve been dog walking for about 3 years and have had the opportunity to care for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. Over time, I’ve learned that every dog is different, so I always try to approach them calmly and patiently and let them get comfortable with me at their own pace. On my days off, I enjoy spending my free time with dogs, so pet care fits naturally into my schedule. I’m usually available from the morning through the afternoon, anytime before 4 PM. I’m happy to work around your dog’s routine and make sure they get a comfortable and enjoyable walk. 🐶 Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for someone’s pet. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully and take time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and specific needs. During walks, I stay attentive to their surroundings and make sure they are safe and comfortable at all times.

About: Dear parent(s), I thank you for considering me to look after your puppy. In the following short paragraphs you will read a little bit about me and my love for nature. SERVICE: I cater to those parents who need either a "once in a while" (but can be frequent) and/or a "last minute" sitting/walking care. I update my Rover availability based on my regular job's schedule to date to provide you a better service. ME: My love and passion for puppies began at a very young age. Growing up, I was blessed with having at least one dog in the household. During my high school years, I worked at a parrot shop located in Edgewater. There, I cared for baby parrots by handfeeding them their formula, which I prepared myself. I also kept a health chart on many baby parrots. Adults parrots were also present and cared for. My love and respect for animals has only increased through the years. Life has us all working so much that it takes us away from what we would rather do, spend time with our pets. Your dog will be cared for and looked after when you need to attend other matters. I have cared for dogs in the past, small and large (Saint Bernard the largest). I cannot pet sit in my home, but I can come to yours, though most of the time I will be out with him/her. So next time your puppy needs love and care when you need to be elsewhere, book me. I will make sure to fill that void your absence will leave, so the time he/she misses you will be less. Though I love dogs very much, I can be firm when needed. If there are any special requirements, please let me know. A. If your dog is shy, I will make sure he/she is not overwhelmed by other dogs or even humans. B. If he/she is hyper, to avoid kids being frightened. C. Do you prefer that your dog does not visit dog parks, or at least when they are not that busy? etc. I am currently a Real Estate Agent. My main working days are the weekends for open houses. This provides me with the freedom to care for your pet during the week, which is when most doggies are home-alone, but not anymore if I have a say in the matter. Building regulations and lack of space have prevented me from such joy. While I cannot pet sit at my home, I can take your dog outdoors. I try and stay physically active, so your dog will be walking and playing.

About: I've had dogs my entire life, from a black lab to an airdale terrier to a peekapoo, and I am the go-to dog sitter for friends and family. These days I'm mom to Coach, my 5-year-old chihuahua mix, who is my whole world. I love all animals and treat every pup like my own—plenty of walks, playtime, and sticking to their usual routine. Comfortable with senior care, medication, and high-energy dogs alike. Your dog will get the same care I'd give my own! I work remotely so my schedule is very flexible. I have a very flexible weekday schedule, so midday walks, playtime, and drop-in check-ins are no problem. I'm also available for dog walking and house sitting most evenings and weekends. Your pup will have plenty of company and stick to their normal routine! Your pup's comfort comes first. I'm a dog mom myself—my chihuahua mix Coach is my whole world—so I know how it feels to leave them in someone else's hands. I'll keep to your routine exactly, follow your rules to the letter, and send plenty of photo updates so you're never wondering how they're doing. Walks are always on leash in safe areas, on your dog's favorite routes.

Vanessa has watched Frankie, our 3-month old mini-Aussie with boatloads of energy, twice now, and both times have been absolutely amazing. Frankie loves getting to play and run around with Vanessa, and has even learned new tricks! We really appreciate Vanessa's time and patience and would recommend her to anyone in need of a caring petsitter!

When we were planning our wedding we were sad that our precious angel could not be a part of the moment. Eileen made sure that was not true and provided perfect updates about how Goosey was doing even putting in extra effort to play with her and comfort her while we were gone.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Cliffside Park on Rover is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $40 per visit. 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 28,069 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Cliffside Park. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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.

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

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

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.
