“I had Vanessa watch my beagle for an hour at my home, and everything went smoothly. She arrived right on time and communicated clearly from the start, which I really appreciated. 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!”

“I am so grateful for Lauryn watching my cat while I was away. She was very communicative, and she provided me lots of peace of mind since this was my first time leaving my cat home alone. I think my cat really liked her, because he would be meowing at me angrily if he didn’t. He seemed to adjust pretty well. Thank you again Lauryn ??????”

About: I have been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Whether it was at my grandmothers house or down the street at the neighbors, I have always been the first one my loved ones call to feed, walk, and cuddle dogs, cats, and any other pet under the sun. I have been around animals my entire life, starting with frequently visiting & caring for my brothers dog when I was just 10 years old. I began pet sitting in middle school, and then this passion grew into my summers at college. I often watch my friends pets in the city when they’re away on trips & am now looking to expand my animal-loving world through Rover. I enjoy taking long walks through the parks, playing outside in the grass, discovering new games, balancing exercise with rest & treats, bathing & lots + lots of cuddles :) Currently I am working part time & remotely, so I have super open + flexible availability! Most of the work I do can be done on my own schedule, so I have plenty of time to make for your pet! Weekends are also generally a great time for me as well. I am happy to oblige to any house rules you may have for your furry friend! (ie on or off furniture, caging around bedtime, feeding/treat schedule etc.)

About: I’ve been taking care of my dog since she was a tiny puppy, and I treat her like my own little child. I do the same for other people’s pets too - I love to give them food, give them some cuddles, and make sure they’re happy. And always remember to give your furry friend a special treat! As a remote worker, I find flexibility in my work schedule. I enjoy incorporating outdoor walks into my daily routine, which allows me to connect with nature and exercise while having the flexibility to do so with my dog. Through play, companionship, and nourishment. Will stay by the dog and keep the place organized and clean so it is a fair space for the house and the dogs

About: Hi! I'm a huge animal lover who truly enjoys spending time with furry friends and giving them the attention they deserve. I've cared for dogs of all sizes for friends, so I'm comfortable handling everything from small, energetic pups to larger breeds with different needs and personalities. I'm patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet's routine—whether that's walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and loved while you're away, and I make sure they get plenty of care and affection. I'm available for drop-in visits and dog walks in the Edgewater/Fort Lee, NJ area — weekday evenings after 6pm and all day on weekends. I’m currently working full time but I still try my best to spend as much time with pets as I can. I’m available anytime on weekends and after 6pm on weekdays. I live in a 2 bedroom condo with the cutest cat in the world — my British shorthair his name is Uni. He’s shy so we can only host quiet and gentle cats and dogs at mine so they can have their own spaces.

About: I recently said goodbye to my 18-year-old senior pup who was still as active and playful as when he was a puppy, even in his last weeks with us. I was his main caretaker since we adopted him when I was 10-years-old, so I have plenty of experience caring for dogs and prioritize keeping them safe and happy! We also had other dogs growing up, so I am used to caring for multiple dogs, dogs of various ages and sizes, and dogs of all energy levels. Specifically, as my doggo aged, I gained a lot of experience with medicine routines, slower walks, attention to health details, and all other requirements of caring for senior dogs. In college, I would housesit for families with all kinds of pets (including rabbits, geese and chickens!) and this helped me pay part of my school costs. However, I enjoyed caring for other's pets so much, I have continued to do so for years after college! I love getting to know new furry friends and making sure they are happy, exercised, well-fed, and enjoying themselves while their parents are away! I am currently working part-time, and often only for a few hours in the evening, so I have lots of time and flexibility to care for you pup, prioritizing being available for prime walking hours in the sunshine! I am willing to work around my part-time hours to meet your dog's routine needs. I am willing to care for the dogs in your home so they are comfortable in their own spaces and can generally keep their normal routines. I am flexible and willing to follow any instructions about your space that you provide.

About: I love dogs and understand that yours is part of your family. I have owned dogs for over 18 years (male german shepherd mix and female pitbull) and I know what makes them tick! I have experience walking fussy/reactive, even aggressive dogs, both big and small. I just can’t live without them. With reasonable notice, I am available pretty much all day long for dog walks and sits. I can always easily adjust my schedule and am very flexible when it comes to last minute arrangements. No issues moving dates around if my calendar is open. I have a fenced in yard and the house is plenty spacious. My goal is always to provide a safe and comfortable experience for your pet.

She was so communicative leading up to the visit and throughout. Her daily photos and remarks let me know that Tortellini was safe, cared for and comfortable! Highly recommend and I’ll definitely be asking her to take care of Tortellini again :)”

About: I am my neighborhood’s designated pet watcher and I also own three big dogs of my own. I have experience with very energetic dogs as well as dogs with anxiety. My dog Bear has epilepsy so unfortunately, I am used to giving medication and taking care of his special needs. I am a college student at Columbia University working a part-time remote job this summer with the US government. My schedule is super flexible. I wanted to find another job that I would always enjoy. I am currently working a part-time remote job at a consulting firm this summer. I am a rising junior in college with a car and loads of time. I am willing to drive just about anywhere and make sure your beloved pets are safe while you are away. I am very reliable, prompt and professional.

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.

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.

“Hailey came to our rescue with only one week notice during the holiday season! She texted photos and details of her visits every day and followed my many notes. Our cats were shy with her at first, but the Christmas tissue paper we left for them to play with was well clawed up, so they ended up having a great time! Thank you Hailey! ”

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Cliffside Park

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Cliffside Park is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $40 per visit. 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 27,842 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 .

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.

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

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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 .

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.
