About: Reliable, patient, and loving pet sitter providing personalized care for puppies, adults, and senior dogs. I follow routines, give plenty of attention, and treat every dog like family. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule(teacher) that allows plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and giving each pet the attention and care they deserve. Once school starts, my routine will vary. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and secure. I follow each pet's routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of affection. In a client's home, I respect their space while maintaining their pet's normal schedule to help them feel relaxed and happy.

We liked the service. We met Kim before we needed her services. She took care of our cats while we were away. She came in daily as scheduled, maintained the litter boxes and replaced the food and water. We will call her again.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I’ve never been without one if not two : ) I stop by the shelter often to see if they need help/donate. I absolutely love animals and will care for one of your pups like my own. I have flexibility for walks as I work from home. I do work full time with breaks in between and can help on weekends where I’ll have more availability. Whether I’m there for a drop in or walks just direct me how to best care for your pets (feed, crate, walk, length of walk, any special needs or attention..)

About: I am dog/cat CPR/FA certified and have provided many years of animal care, as well as always owning my own. I have experience training pups on tricks and potty training. I have also had experience with end of life pets providing comfort care and medication administration. I provide daily care for my animals at home! I work from home every day and I have a generally flexible schedule. I am able to walk away from my desk to help you care for your loved ones on short notice. I have a home with a fenced in yard and my two dogs and cat love to hang out in it! When caring for others pets, I will always do a walk around of the property to ensure it is safe for the pet to explore. I always prefer if the pet parent leaves me with a checklist or letter for their preferences and will follow this. I will always ask about allergies, triggers and history for the pet to ensure they are safe with me, other people, and another pets.

About: Hi! I’m Ella, and caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. I currently work at a small business pet food and grooming store, where I spend my days with dogs and assisting pet owners with their pets’ needs. Being around animals every day has taught me how important patience, attention, and love are when it comes to providing great care. I also have two dogs of my own, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I’ve regularly walked and looked after dogs for friends and family, giving me experience with pets of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, playtime, or just someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! I’m currently working part-time so I have a flexible schedule and will always do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine. Whether your pet needs morning, afternoon, or evening visits, I’ll provide reliable, on time care and keep you updated throughout each visit! I provide all pet care in my clients’ homes, where your pet is most comfortable and can stick to their normal routine. I’ll carefully follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions while making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I’ll also treat your home with the utmost respect by keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I have had dogs my whole life, some being high energy who play all day and some low energy who love to just cuddle and relax. Ive had 4 different breeds, from Pitbulls, Labradors, Huskies, and a German Shepherd. I know what it takes to make a dog feel at home and loved even if their owner isn't home. I love dogs more than most of the human in the world and trust me when I say your dog will miss me when I leave. I currently am searching for a job post college and waiting to enter a Police Academy in the coming winter. So I am available almost everyday and almost all day. I do have a dog at home that I take care of so if She needs to be walked I will do her separately. I have a energetic Husky at home so I know all about the high energy dogs, when I lived with my parents I had 2 couch potatoes so I know the best of both worlds. I love walking and running myself so having a furry friend with me just makes it even better.

Michael was so amazing with my senior orange Ray Cat. What a wonderful job giving him his medicine 2 times and day, brushing, playing and treats. I always get worried because my boy can be a handle full at times, but Michael was such a amazing person for Ray Cat. Highly recommend and I feel so safe having him as Ray's sitter. Again thank you so much!

About: I have a plethora of experience in the pet care industry. From dog sitting since I was a teenager to becoming an animal care manager for an animal shelter, I have taken care of animals and pets in many different settings. I will take care of your pets as if they are my own! I am a certified animal control officer who has dealt with difficult situations and handled difficult animals with care. Rest assured I will take care of your pets with the utmost responsibility while making your animals feel comfortable and loved. I work nights so I can take care of animals throughout the morning and afternoon and even stop by later at night. My schedule is very flexible so I can provide full time pet care with enough notice! I will make sure to take care of your pets exactly as you would. I have a medicated senior dog myself who is spoiled beyond belief but with my experience in a shelter environment I have had to adapt to my pet care tactics on a case by case basis. I’m someone who will follow your directions to a T as you know your pets the best.

UPDATE- I now have a dog of my own. A lab/husky mix named Bo. He is about 3 and LOVES to play. He is dog friendly and LOVES people. He is 55 lbs. I work FT at home in Laurence Harbor (part of Old Bridge). I can board your dog(s) for you at my home. I have plenty of dog toys. I have a good sized fenced in yard with a 6ft vinyl fence.

I can board your dog at my home 7 days a week. Drop in visits/dog walking or dog sitting at your home is evenings and weekends. I have a fenced in yard and live in a dog friendly neighborhood.

About: Hi, I’m Cherish! I’ve been passionately pet sitting since 2019. While I took a brief break from Rover, I am so excited to be back doing what I love most: providing top-tier, reliable care for your fur babies. Over the years, I have specialized in advanced pet care. I am fully confident and experienced in administering medications, including both oral treatments and injections. I also have a deep tenderness and specialized experience caring for blind and deaf dogs, ensuring they feel safe, secure, and loved. Don't worry if your pup is on the younger side, though—I have plenty of stamina to keep up with high-energy puppies who need lots of playtime! In addition to dogs I have experience with single or multi-cat households as well as exotic pet care like birds, turtles, lizards, chinchillas, and fish Dog Room and Care Services for Your Furry Friend Your beloved pet deserves the best and I am excited to offer a dedicated dog room in my home that provides everything your pup needs for comfort, including crates, couches, and cots. I guarantee your furry friend will have plenty of playtime and potty breaks, alternating every 2 to 3 hours between indoor and outdoor activities. Please note that all new guests are required to have a meet and greet prior to booking their stay, and unfortunately, same-day bookings cannot be accommodated. My goal is to stick to your pet's schedule and ensure that every stay is a positive and enjoyable experience. I have a fenced in yard and dedicated dog room. For any pups who may not be adjusting to the pup room I do allow them in other areas of the house.

We are so happy to have found Allison. This is our second year having her during our family vacation. We have a 13 y/o dog and of course it’s always nerve wracking leaving him, but I know he’s in good hands with Allison. She is so patient with him and writes the best summaries of their time together. A few times she came and he was asleep, or wouldn’t eat, and she was able to adjust and still get him fed, walked and loved on each visit. Highly recommend!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Cliffwood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Cliffwood on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 23,718 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Cliffwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Cliffwood stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Cliffwood 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!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Cliffwood with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.

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.
