“everything went exceptionally well with Kevin taking care of Darla and River. Kevin was punctual, followed instructions that were left and interacted with the dogs extremely well. I give him 5 STARS and will use him when his services are required in the future.”
About: My entire family loves dogs and cats. My mother, father, aunt, uncle, and cousins. I am a huge dog lover myself. I am not the type who sits and leaves the dog or cat alone. I enjoy taking dogs for walks, playing with them, and just cuddling with them while watching a movie. I am 31 years old. I drive and will travel anywhere in Staten Island or 15 mile radius of Old Bridge and Matawan. I am free weekends, and during the week at any time =) I work part time so I’m very flexible with scheduling. I also can accept last minute requests I only have cats, but have experience walking small dogs. My cats are indoor only, but have multiple cat trees, toys, games, treats, and cat tv. When it comes to caring for pets in your home, I will ensure they are well fed and played with
“This is our 2nd time using Jonathan. We had a vet emergency 1 hr before our flight, and he came to the vet office, picked up meds, and administered them while we were away. Incredibly kind and responsible person!”
About: I’ve taken care of 5 family dogs from puppyhood to later stages of life as well as dog sat for family friends and other family members. I currently work full time but I get home around 3pm most days. I normally get home and take my puppy Robin on a two mile walk and run. I care for Robin with a fenced in small yard and using the crate for when me and my fiancée are out. I would take care of your dog in whichever way you need.
“Kimberly has been extremely reliable and took great care of Penny, Kimberly also made multiple visits at home to ensure my cat was doing okay! Thankyou so much and also thanks a lot for accepting last minute request it was really helpful and lot of relief.”
“Tara was amazing !!! I have a hard time trusting people with my fur babies but upon meeting Tara I was immediately comfortable. She was so sweet , on time, and gave regular updates ! I insisted she didn’t have to clean the litter daily and she still did! I couldn’t recommend her more !!”
“Elizabeth is a joy to work with! She is responsible, competent, compassionate, and dedicated. Not only is she prompt in her check-in’s she really cares about the animals she works with. During a challenging moment with my dog while we were on vacation, she politely remained in contact but took control of the situation and both the house and dog were right as rain by the time we got back! 10/10 would hire her again!”
“Lauren was absolutely wonderful and took such great care of my cat while I was away on vacation. She sent me updates and pictures every visit and was so patient with my shy kitty who spent her first few visits hiding. They ultimately became best buds which made me feel so much better about being away. I would definitely recommend Lauren and would definitely have her again!”
About: Hi! I’m Zara, and caring for animals has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the past 6 years, I’ve gained experience through dog walking, house sitting, and fostering a wide range of animals, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. A lot of my experience is personal, which I think makes it even more meaningful. I grew up with a family dog and learned early on what it means to be responsible for and truly bond with an animal. I also rescued and raised a stray kitten from just 4 weeks old, which was one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve had. Since then, I’ve continued fostering kittens, puppies, cats, and dogs, all with different personalities, needs, and routines. I genuinely love getting to know each pet and what makes them comfortable, whether that’s long walks, playtime, or just having someone calm and reliable around. I treat every animal like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the week. I’m generally available most days, with limited availability on Monday and Wednesday mornings from 9–1. Otherwise, I’m open and can accommodate a variety of schedules. I always tailor my care based on each pet’s routine and the owner’s preferences. I know every pet is different, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medications, or just how their pet likes to relax. I focus on creating a comfortable, safe, and stress-free environment while giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and care.
About: My love for animals—especially dogs—is unmatched. I have hands-on experience training my own Dobermans and caring for a wide variety of dogs and cats. I’m especially comfortable working with anxious, shy, or high-sensitivity dogs, and I take a calm, patient approach to help pets feel safe, secure, and at ease. I treat every pet like my own and focus on providing consistent, loving care while you’re away. I work from home full-time, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Whether it’s midday walks, playtime, or simply keeping your pet company, my schedule allows me to be fully present and responsive to your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure, spacious home with plenty of room for pets to relax and play. I’m also located near a dog park, offering great opportunities for exercise and socialization in a controlled environment. I treat every pet in my care with the same love and attention I give my own.
About: I have taken care of pets of all kinds since the age of 10. Families, friends neighbors always replied on me to pet sit for them. I’m very comfortable with any types of dogs or cats. I’ve taken care of all age range’s from puppies/kittens to seniors cats/dog. I currently work full-time, but I have time on Friday and Saturday to play with pets! I can board pets Thursday-Sunday! I am very consistent with routine and stay to a strict schedule I have a apartment that is very cat friendly. I have my own cat who is friendly with other pets and she can keep your fur baby company!
“Thank you so much! Nicholas went above and beyond for Harvey and even took him out to play with his favorite ball! Your attention to detail doesn’t go unnoticed! Thank you again!”
About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life and have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets. I’ve also volunteered at an animal shelter, where I cared for a variety of dogs and cats with different personalities and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and love getting to know each pet and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for! I’m primarily available Thursday through Sunday, with a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to each pet. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and companionship throughout the day, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping them comfortable and maintaining their normal routine. I follow each pet parent’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medication, and any special care needs. I also make sure their environment stays safe and secure while giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and affection.
“Paige, I can’t thank you enough for scheduling on short notice. I feel like Reef misses his walks with you already. The service and care was amazing. I would recommend Paige to anyone looking at a sitter! Will be requesting you every time I’m away! Thanks again”

Maria is outstanding and truly goes above and beyond. She is reliable, caring, and clearly takes great pride in what she does. She will definitely be my go-to person whenever we need someone to watch our dog. I would highly recommend Maria and her services to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pet.
Jenniffer was absolutely wonderful! She kept in constant communication, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog, Gracie, in her care, and it was such a relief knowing my baby was safe, happy, and well taken care of during my vacation. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!
Elizabeth has been caring for my puppy and doing an amazing job, she is reliable and professional and has demonstrated a lot of patience for my me English bulldog who is very stubborn breed. Elizabeth is very good with her and just a nice person. Thank you Elizabeth.
We are so thrilled to have found Allison to take care of our furry family member. She went above and beyond for our boy, spending extra time with him and was very attentive to his needs. She sent lots of photos and her visit summary was detailed and made us feel so at ease. We were able to really enjoy our vacation, worry free! We will definitely be reaching out to her in the future!!

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 .

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.

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.
