“Alyssa did a wonderful job of watching my 2 dogs and 2 cats for the 3 weeks I was away. She is very responsible and takes full accountability for the care of the animals and home. I appreciated the multiple pictures and check-ins. You could tell through the pictures the animals really took to her. She also took good care of my house by keeping it clean, plants watered and mail taken in.”
“We booked Evgenii to dog sit in our home for 10 days while we went on vacation. Our previous dog sitter canceled and Evgenii was very accommodating for a last minute booking. We met him a few times for walks prior to this so our dog would become familiar with him and our dog absolutely loved him. She got so excited each time he came by for a walk which was so reassuring for us. Throughout the 10 days we had constant communication, received regular updates and was very responsive any time we reached out. We really appreciated this communication and it was so nice to see our dog was happy. We also returned home to a very tidy and clean house. We are so happy to have found Evgenii and we will most definitely be using his services again going forward.”
“Vanessa, thank you so, so much for taking great care of our pup. This was our first long time away from him and we’re as happy to see him as he is to see us. Thanks for all the great communication along the way.”
“Jennifer was amazing at taking care of our babies and home while we left town for a week to visit family! They usually take awhile to warm up to people but they seemed to adjust fine and happily with her company which made me feel so relieved!! I was so happy with all of the pictures and updates since it was our first time leaving them for such a long trip, we would definitely love to have her come back and visit Charlie & Henry again :)”
“I highly recommend Paige and am so happy we found her!! She came and did a meet and greet with Rambo? she arrived on time and did everything we asked! She was flexible and able to stay longer than what we had originally asked. Thank you so much will definitely be using her again!”
“I have 2 male dogs. Sebastian is 10, set in his ways, stubborn Cocker Spaniel, in a lot of ways, my little old man. The other one is Carbon who is 15 months old and still like a puppy and full of energy. Kimberly was an absolute doll. She is personable and my Sebastian seemed to really like her, he doesnt take to too many people. My boys were extremely happy when I came home. Kimberly sent me updates via text messages and photos. I would HIGHLY recommend her!!!”
About: Hi, I'm Krystina! I am a 30-year-old passionate pet lover with over 10 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. Animals aren't just a job for me—they are a central part of my life. As a dedicated pet parent myself, I understand how deeply we love our fur babies and how important it is to find someone you can completely trust when you're away. Whether your pet is staying in your home, joining me for a quick afternoon stroll, or settling in for an extended stay while you travel, they will be treated exactly like a member of my own family. I pride myself on providing the same level of love, attention, and spoiling that they get from you! Flexible schedule for dog walking and house sitting! I can adapt to your pet’s needs and keep them happy, active, and comfortable while you're away! 🐾🐶🐱🐾 I provide safe, reliable, and loving care in your pet’s own home environment. I do not currently offer boarding and do not have a vehicle, so my services are focused within a 5–10 mile radius of Edison, NJ. I’m available for house sitting, and dog walking while keeping your pet’s routine comfortable, familiar, and stress-free. 🐶🐱
“Ella was the sweetest & did such a great job watching my pets! I have a little mini dog & a big cat, & I was out of town for a wedding event, so it was such a relief knowing they were in good hands. She was great about sending me updates without me even having to ask, & she sent me SO many cute pictures and videos of them 🥹 It honestly made being away so much easier! She was super sweet, reliable, & I could tell she genuinely cared about my pets. I would 100% recommend Ella & would absolutely use her again! 🐶🐱💕 Thanks Ella!”
About: I have been taking care of animals (cats, dogs, fish etc) my entire life. Not only my own but others as well. I pet sit and walk dogs quite frequently in the past. I also take care of my Grandmother and will go over and look after her pup as well. I am well experienced with both puppies and senior dogs. I mostly work on weekends (mornings on Sunday and Saturday Afternoons), aside from going into New York for a couple hours in the week for my job so I have plenty of time to walk and play with your animals! I am a very dedicated and detail oriented person so I can assure that your pets will be treated with the utmost care and respect and so will your home if I need to enter it at any point!
“Hadija is a pleasure to work with. She took very good care of Max while we were away. We got frequent updates along with pictures and videos, and she was very responsive when we had questions. I felt safe having Hadija in my house taking care of Max. I look forward to working with her again.”
About: I’m on Rover to help you out with any / all your pets needs while you’re away! I work full time as a behaviorist in a public school. I don’t dog train, but I am familiar with any techniques that you may need for your pup! I have 3 dogs and 3 cats of my own. I have experience with all breeds! All mutts and senior pups are welcome. I also have experience administering medication to dogs. All dogs of breeds and age deserve attention and love. I’d love it if you let me love your pets as if they are my own too! Thank you for reading this. I am able to work with the families in terms of what they need. My calendar may not always reflect accurately as my times with my full-time job (human) clients do fluctuate. If it is blocked off it means I am 100% unavailable. I don’t recommend myself in terms of full-on puppy training and 24/7 puppy care due to my schedule but I am versed in the training techniques due to my career. I am available weekends for extra care and staying in your home full time. My pets are well loved and taken care of while I care for others. I will never be able to host in my home, so please consider this! I offer in home care, overnight, daily walks, and check ins. Animals will not be hosted in my home due to a senior dog I have who is on medication. For those reasons, home sitting is only available in terms of long care. I have done walks, trips to stores, parks, yard play, and car trips with fur babies for daily drop ins, walks, or overnight stays!
About: Hi my name is morgan! I am married to my husband; who travels for work; which i like to pick up if we are on the road. i have always grew up with 3 dogs in my house hold. from a yellow lab, 2 pit bull mixes, corso mastiff, great dane & irish wolfhound! my puppies are my babies! they are family! they sleep in bed with me & cuddle on the couch. i have been dog sitting since i was a junior in high school or even longer. I usually work as a bartender/server somewhere locally, I try to still be flexible with my time to make accommodations if needed. Or sometimes i just pick up doing this! when the weather is nice i enjoy walking my dogs, taking them to the dog park, & playing ball in the back yard. i always keep in mind i treat your animals the way i would want someone to treat mine!!
About: I’ve been a pet owner for over 20 years, ranging from the typical fish, cat, and beloved Murphy, to include even a pet iguana (or two). 🥰 I have a fenced yard where both Murphy and your furry loved one can play and hang out. For overnight stays I have a large adult dog kennel that can accommodate a Mastiff just as comfortably as it can my Min Pin (who believes he’s the size of a Mastiff). 😄 I have an older dog with lots of energy and plays well with other dogs. I am an active person, so neighborhood walking is available for dogs with proper training. I can also provide some minor training reinforcement for puppies or young dogs learning new skills and/or tricks. 🐾 Tips are APPRECIATED!!! 🐾 I work from home! 🙌🏾 So my schedule is flexible and allows me to be able to work with and respond to clients in a timely manner. My home is fenced. All pets remain on the property unless they are taken for walks. I also will let clients know about overlaps in booking wih animals.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Cliffwood is $60

So thankful to have Vanessa watch our dog. She was able to pivot with a last minute logistics issue. She provided many updates and photos throughout the day. I love that my dog was comfortable enough to keep his normal eating and napping schedule, so I know he enjoyed his time!
Cordelia was incredibly communicative & sent photos of my sweet dog multiple times a day! She followed all of my given instructions and made sure to get in a couple of longer walks a day! My dog seemed very happy and comfortable with her. Thank you so much Cordelia!
We recently had Nora stay over for our 2 dogs, Honey and Louise. She came and met us and the dogs beforehand. What a sweet young lady and our dogs warmed up to her immediately. She sent updates and pictures throughout. Honey is a nervous nelly and I was so relieved to see her sleeping on the bed with Nora, quite content. She left the place spotless. I can't say enough good things about Nora. She is the best!! <3
Lauren was absolutely incredible while staying at our home for a few days to care for our two dogs and cat. One of our pups required daily medication, and she handled it with total professionalism and care. She kept us updated with thoughtful messages and photos, and it was clear our pets were happy, relaxed, and well-loved the entire time. We came home to a spotless house and three content animals who clearly adored her. It’s such a relief knowing we can trust someone so responsible, kind, and attentive with our pets and home. We couldn’t recommend Lauren more highly. She’s a gem, and we’ll definitely be booking her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Cliffwood on Rover is $76.23 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 17,137 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cliffwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Cliffwood walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Cliffwood maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cliffwood. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
