About: I have cared for my own pets for decades. I have sat with dogs from puppies to seniors. I love to calm their nerves and give them tactile care. I am currently retired and this has been goal for years to spend these years caring for others loved ones (pet) so they can travel. I lost my beloved Willis in June and decided to care for others pets to bring some joy I will be caring for pets in their own environment and will follow the owners instructions as to their care and safety. Any special needs will be followed per the owners instructions. My Willis was blind and diabetic for the last five years of his life.
About: I trained my own dog, I also take care of other friends animals. When your baby is with me it’s a spa day for them. They call me the animal whisper. I love being around them, giving them love and treats❤️ I work Monday through Thursday, but I make pet care a priority every day. I always plan around the animals’ needs, and I use my lunch break at 1 PM to check in, give walks, or just spend quality time with them. In the evenings and on weekends, I’m fully available for longer visits, playtime, or overnight stays. Caring for pets is more than a routine for me. It’s something I truly enjoy and look forward to. Safety and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I create a secure and loving environment tailored to each pet’s needs. I always use leashes during walks and keep a close eye on surroundings to ensure pets stay safe and relaxed. I follow any specific instructions you provide, whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, or preferred routines, so your pet can feel right at home, even when you’re away.
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals and have always had a deep love for caring for them. Over the years, I’ve helped take care of dogs, fish, and farm animals, which has given me a lot of hands on experience with daily routines like feeding, walking, cleaning, and making sure they feel safe and happy. I’ve also cared for many different dogs, each with their own personality, and I genuinely enjoy building trust with them and giving them attention, comfort and playing with them. I’m a student at CMU, so I’ll be gone during parts of the day for classes and occasionally work on weekends, but that also means I’ll have plenty of time to give your pets lots of attention, care, and love when I’m home. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved by sticking to their routine, giving them lots of attention, and creating a calm, clean space. I treat every pet like they’re my own!
About: I have taken care of animals of all shapes, sizes and breeds since I was a little girl. I grew up on a farm with a lot of livestock and dogs big and small. I’m not currently working, so I have a lot of extra time to care for your furry friend. I am available almost every day of the week. I have a fenced yard and a friendly little chihuahua who is always happy to have a companion to play with. I also have a cat.
About: Hello! My name is Jacob and I’ve been surrounded by animals of all kinds for my whole life, and have always loved their company. I will strive to provide the best possible care for your pets and treat them as if they were my own. I’m here for their needs, whether it’s to wear out a young active pup or take a casual stroll around the block letting your senior dog stop as they need to. I’ve always had a lot of flexibility in my schedule and have enjoyed pet sitting as a side job for many years. I’m currently working part time in the early mornings so I have tons of time during the day to help care for your pets. If you need me to stay with your pets I’m usually only gone for a 3.5 hour shift so they won’t be left alone for very long! I will have your pets safety and comfort always in mind and make sure they have what they need to stay happy until you return.
About: I have been doing pet care since I was a teenager. Started off just for family, then friends, into a business. The clients who meet me are always comfortable with how open I am regarding the care needed. As someone who has pets herself, I know how important it is to have a trust worthy person caring for them. I treat your home and pets with the respect that’s deserved. We have so much fun that you’re home before your pets know it! I recently left my full time job to go back to college. Pet care has always been something I did on the side but now I’m looking to do this full time. I’d much rather feed horses and walk dogs than clock into a job on the computer. I genuinely enjoy spending my time with animals. I will only offer services at the clients home. I feel that pets are more comfortable when they can stay in the place they know. I’d rather stick to their routine than disrupt it at home with my own. I always ask clients for the routine, what treats they can have, if training is needed to be worked on, walks, etc. Otherwise, we are playing with toys and hanging out the entire time.
About: I have had dogs since I was born. I love all kinds and sizes of dogs. I am comfortable watching any kind of pet. I am a CMU Alum living in town and working seasonal Agriculture jobs. During the winter I work part time at the Handlebar and have many days where I can watch and take your pets in walks! I am experienced with dogs that need to be watched carefully and crated. My dogs have always been good independent dogs but I watch puppies all the time and am comfortable taking care of them as well. I have spent time watching young and old cats. I’m currently working part time during the winter so have plenty of time to take care of your animals. I am available night but sometimes work late. I always ask for a small list of very important instructions to be sure nothing is missed while watching your pets in your home. I am sure to ask many questions and keep in touch if anything comes up.
About: My husband and I have grown up with dogs our whole life! We love having our Stella in our life and she loves to play with other dogs. She would enjoy taking playing with your furry friend. Current work from home full time and will always have breaks to play with your doggie 💗🙂 We watch dogs all day and would love to have the company! We have a big backyard, plenty of room to run around. Dogs have easy access to come in and out whenever they would like. As well as many trails to walk nearby

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Clifton is $15 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $8 and $21 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 November 2026, there are 274 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Clifton. 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.
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 Clifton 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 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 Meet & Greet.
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 Clifton with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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 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.
