“Maria was amazing! My dog was so happy and comfortable at her home. When our travel plans were delayed due to the weather, Maria was incredibly understanding and accommodating. I highly recommend her and would absolutely trust her with my dog again!”
“Kevin was great with our Aussiedoodle Kruk. Kruk is 1 years old and very high puppy energy. He kept him busy walked him 3 times a day and took amazing care of him. When we went to pick him up he was happy as can be like we never left! Couldn’t ask for more. We got daily pictures and food updates. I will definitely be using Kevin in the future.”
“Nicole was absolutely excellent. Provided tons of feedback, photos, videos, and lots of fantastic communication. She loved my pup just as if it were her own, which really put me at ease for my first stay with her. I couldn't recommend a better sitter for your pup!!”
“Kayla and her family were exceptional with my 6 month old puppy. She was treated like one of the family and very happy. I think she may like their family better than her own now. We will be using Kayla for all our pup sitting needs!”

About: What sets me apart is my patience, compassion, and genuine love for animals. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities. From energetic puppies who need extra attention, patience, and guidance to senior animals who may need more time, gentle care, and understanding, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I treat every animal like family and give them the same love, attention, and respect I would want for my own pets. Whether they need playtime, extra cuddles, a little reassurance, or simply someone patient enough to move at their pace, I’m there for them. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m able to dedicate time throughout the day to walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and giving each pet the individual attention they need. I understand that pets thrive on consistency and routine, so I make their care a priority and do my best to keep them comfortable, happy, and on their normal schedule. I’m also patient and flexible when a pet needs extra time, attention, or special care—whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior pet who prefers a slower pace. I care for every pet as if they were my own, while respecting their individual personality, routine, and comfort level. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions carefully and keep their normal schedule as consistent as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of love and attention. I also treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would give my own. My goal is for both the pet and their family to feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for.
“Our dog Teddy had a great time with Anmol and Trupti. They kept us updated with texts and pictures during his stay. They took him on walks and even took him to a park! They were able to accommodate us last minute and on a holiday weekend. Will definitely be using them again!”
“Bhavani and family took care of our Diesel during holiday season (9 days). Our Diesel is a large (lab) puppy with extra energy. She did a great job and I highly recommend her. She was quick to respond and very accommodating. She even helped navigate the app( for first timer like me) and from the beginning of setting up the meet and greet visit to until the last day, she was prompt in communicating, shared pictures and videos daily, followed the instructions. Bhavani family loved and cared for our Diesel like it their own. Did not bother us with anything, just shared pictures and videos which gave us peace of mind and confidence to enjoy our vacation. Her home is safe for pets and she really has the experience to handle them. I will use her service again in future ( although it is an hour away drive for us) because safety and happiness of our fur babies comes first. I highly recommend her to everyone. Thank you Bhavani.”

Susana was great! She provided updates and pictures daily and her feedback showed that she really got to know my dog Chili very well. She was focused on making sure Chili had the attention she needed. I felt confident that I left my pup in the right hands! I will definitely use Susana again.
Karina and Chris are super friendly and took great care of my 10 yro pitty who was dealing with a leg issue. They were attentive, responsive and provided great communication while we were away for the week. Most importantly our dog seems to really have enjoyed his stay.
Bill took wonderful care of my dog, Polly, during a recent stay. Polly adored him right away. Throughout her stay, Bill was extremely attentive, kept me updated constantly, and sent photos every day. I truly appreciate his attentiveness and genuine care for Polly, and I would not hesitate to book with him again.
Paul and Kathryn were great with my 10 month old puppy Maya. They are such a nice family and I'm so glad my puppy got to spend the week with them. Maya seemed well cared for and I was told she had a good time with their two dogs and kids. They sent regular updates and pictures which was really reassuring when leaving your pet with someone. I would definitely recommend them and will be using them again.
Kevin was great with our Aussiedoodle Kruk. Kruk is 1 years old and very high puppy energy. He kept him busy walked him 3 times a day and took amazing care of him. When we went to pick him up he was happy as can be like we never left! Couldn’t ask for more. We got daily pictures and food updates. I will definitely be using Kevin in the future.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Cliffwood can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Cliffwood home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Cliffwood.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cliffwood. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% 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.
You and your Cliffwood sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NJ ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
