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.
About: I’ve taken care of small, medium, and more recently, large dogs for a long time. Whether it’s to relieve the dog for an afternoon potty break, giving some extra cuddles, or staying over for a weekend (or more) to care for them while you’re on vacation, I’ve had a lot of different experiences. I’m currently a school teacher. During the school year, I am available after 4pm and most weekends. During the summer months, my availability is very open. However an owner wants their dog to be taken care of, I can make it work. I know some owners can be very specific about what they want while others are more general. If you describe for me what you’re looking for, I can ensure the best care for your dog.
About: I have experience with small and medium-sized breeds, such as my parent’s dog, Enzo, who is a havashu, as well as my current dog, Robin, a 60 lb. boxer with high energy. I’ve also had experience walking and taking care of dogs of my friends. If you have a larger dog, my fiancé, Vin, is on Rover as well and has extensive experience with bigger breeds. I currently work from 8:30am to 5:00pm Monday through Friday. I am usually available during the weekends any time with enough notice. My fiancé, Vin, is available from 3:30pm and later during the week, as well as weekends any time as well. I am available to walk your dog, as well as feed them, give them any needed medications, and to play with them and/or give them pets!
“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!”
“Dawn is the BEST. She watched our cats for several days while we were traveling internationally and did a wonderful job. One of our cats is very shy and skittish around strangers and Dawn had her out and socializing within 24 hours. Her communication is excellent — we loved getting updates. It is clear that Dawn genuinely cares for animals. We will not hesitate to work with her again.”
“Bianca is an absolutely wonderful cat sitter. She looked after my cat with so much care. From the very beginning, she was highly professional, reliable, and communicative, sending regular updates and pictures that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely loves animals, and my cat warmed up to her immediately. I highly recommend Bianca to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter, and I will definitely be hiring her again in the future! Bianca, thank you very much!”
About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs most of my life and really enjoy connecting with each pet’s unique personality. Caring for my senior dog Benji during his later years taught me a lot about patience and paying attention to the little things that make a big difference in their comfort and happiness. I’m gentle and patient with shy or nervous pets and enjoy creating calm, low-stress environments. But I’m also happy to play and engage with energetic pets to help them burn off energy and feel satisfied by the end of our visit. I’m comfortable administering medications and always treat pets and their homes with respect and care. I work full time during the week, so most of my availability is in the early mornings (6-9 am), evenings (after 5:30 pm), and weekends. There can be some flexibility there if we work it out ahead of time :) I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine as much as possible, and I make sure they still get plenty of attention and care during the times I’m with them. If your pet needs a consistent schedule, just let me know and I’ll do my best to accommodate. When I visit your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable by following their routine closely, keeping their space clean, and paying attention to anything that might seem off. I always double check that doors and windows are secure before I leave. I know it’s a big deal to trust someone with your pet and your home, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away.

“I would leave more stars if I could! Lily did a FANTASTIC job caring for my 2 cats while I was away. My cats eat only wet food, several times a day, so automatic feeders had to be set up daily. Lily did a great job following the instructions on how to feed them and it was nice returning from a long weekend away to a clean home- clean cat bowls, clean litter box, clean eating area, etc! I cannot thank Lily enough and I will be hiring her again soon!”
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.
About: Hi! I’m Katalina, a reliable and experienced dog sitter with hands-on experience caring for dogs both on and off Rover. I also have a Labrador Retriever of my own, so I understand the daily care, energy, and attention dogs need. I’ve worked with puppies, seniors, and dogs with special needs, and I’m comfortable adapting to different routines and personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every dog like my own—making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup! Currently, I work a full-time job at a school Ideally, on the weekdays I would be available after 4:30 pm when I get home. Willing to work on weekends as well. I have major holidays and breaks off ! Currently live in an apartment complex. Apartment complex is nice though and has a fenced in dog park that's fairly sized and my lab would be an exceptional friend ! If that's not of interest to you, I would love to take care of the pet in the comfort of your home, which I have done before. I would make sure that your pet/pets are safe and in good hands I always send messages and updates to ensure you feel at ease.
About: I've been a dog owner for over 40 years, I love all kinds of dogs, big and small. I just lost my best buddy Ziggy and I’m looking to share the love! I just retired so I have lots of availability and flexibility. I live in Marlboro township. Hope to hear from you soon! Available all day every day , short notice okay. I am retired and looking for some new buddies to hang with. Hope to hear from you soon!! I can watch in my home if needed. I’m happy to have them stay for an overnight if needed. I’ll treat your buddy like they’re my own.
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.
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cliffwood
We had an amazing experience with Dominique! We have two shy cats, and she went above and beyond to make sure they were well cared for while we were away. Dominique was attentive, caring, and made us feel comfortable knowing our cats were in good hands. We truly appreciate the extra effort she put in and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
Ella was amazing with my pup! Ella does check in’s for me while I’m at work and my dog is not the easiest to handle sometimes. She is scared of everything and does not cooperate with new people without me around but Ella was so patient and got my dog to love and trust her quickly! By the third day my dog was running around the yard with her and eating all her food. When I go to the office I know my dog is in good hands and I don’t have to worry. Ella is a great dog sitter and truly cares for the dogs she is watching.

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!
We couldn’t be more grateful for Lisa! She is kind, reliable, caring, and truly treats our dog like her own. We appreciate all of her help more than words can say and feel so lucky to have found someone we trust completely. Thank you for everything you do!
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.
Dina is wonderful, was very accommodating to our needs, even changed dates for me last minute when I made an error in booking. She is kind and we felt very comfortable with our furry sons in her care ❤️ we loved getting pics of them! Would absolutely use Dina again and recommend her for your pet sitting needs!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Cliffwood is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $36 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 24,770 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Cliffwood. 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 Cliffwood. On Rover:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% 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.
