“Emily was awesome! She took care of two dogs with medical needs seamlessly. She was communicative, timely, reliable, and the animals loved her. Totally recommend!”
“Lori took care of quite a full house for us — our St. Bernard, our French Bulldog, our barn cat, our chickens, and even our koi and goldfish and the pond — and it was a great first experience. She sent constant updates and photos throughout the stay, so we always knew exactly how everyone and everything was doing, which was especially reassuring given how much she had to juggle. She was easygoing, clearly comfortable with animals of all kinds, and handled the dogs and koi pond maintenance without a hitch. We'd happily recommend her to anyone with a busy household of pets and property, and we'll definitely be booking her again.”
About: I grew up on a farm with cats, dogs, pigs, goats and horses! I worked with a breeder so I have lots of experience with puppies and mothers. Most dogs I've spent time with are high energy dogs like Australian shepard's but I've also spent time with low energy like Saint Bernards. I am a travel occupational therapist currently taking a break from moving around. Currently not working so I am very free! I love morning walks. I live in a camper but your fur baby will not be home alone! Our campground has a fenced dog run and I would love to visit some parks if comfortable. I can visit your pet within their home at any time of day.
“Katelyn house sat for us for the first time. We lost a dog recently and were worried the other two would have a hard time with us being away for the first time since. Katelyn did a great job of giving the dogs love, attention, and care during our trip. We could tell they were very comfortable & well cared for while we were away!”
About: I grew up with several dogs growing up. Now I have my own best friend who’s a lab mix. I enjoy walking dogs and caring for them! They make me happy! It would be a privilege to care for your dog or cat while you’re away from home. I’m currently self employed and work part time. This gives me flexibility in caring for your pet. When I care for your pet my life will revolve around their needs and schedule. I want you to rest assured that your pet will be loved and cared for when you’re away. I will follow your rules and guidelines for your pet. Each home and pet needs vary. I’m here to give trusted love and support for your pet while you’re away.
About: Lifelong pet lover offering reliable sitting and walking services for all kinds of animals. Having raised dogs and cats since childhood, I know what it takes to keep your pets happy and safe. Let me provide the trustworthy care and peace of mind you and your pets deserve! Flexible Schedule: I work part-time, giving me wide-open availability. Mid-Day Walks: Perfect for pups who need a break while you are at work. Extra Playtime: Plenty of hours dedicated to keeping your pets active and happy.

I can comfortably work and play with high-energy pups, mellow dogs, and everything in between.
“Ella was an excellent sitter! She was very well prepared and clearly has had a lot of experience in taking care of dogs which made us feel our dog was in great hands. I would definitely recommend Ella!”
About: I’ve always had a pet of my own until early 2026 when my senior dog had passed, however I do have a history of working at a veterinary hospital. I understand that every animal has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to learn what makes each pet feel safe and happy. I’m dependable, responsible, and attentive to details. My goal is not only to care for pets while their owners are away, but to make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and treated like family. I’m currently working part-time and looking for the opportunity to still stay active and enjoy my free time. I have a very open schedule and I’m committed to following each owner’s instructions and making sure their pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while they are away.

I provide a calm, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel secure and maintain their normal routines. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, pay attention to each pet’s individual needs, and keep owners updated so they can have peace of mind while they’re away.
“Emily was awesome! We could tell that Bella was happy and well taken care of. We appreciated all the pictures and correspondence while Emily was with Bella. We will definitely ask Emily to come back and stay with Bella the next we travel. Thanks Emily!!!”
About: I have taken care of all sorts of furry friends since I was little. I love dogs and cats and have lots of experience with exotic pets as well! I work part time, however, that allows me plenty of time throughout my week to spend time with furry friends who need company throughout the week or even just a walk! My yard is fenced with a large privacy fence. I have a grass front and back yard as well as lots of shade available in my yard.
“Finley & Rocky had a great time with Liz! She communicated with us daily, sent us daily photos and took our pups on walks. They were both very happy when we came back. Would definitely recommend Liz to anyone!!”
“We found Brandi and contacted her after reading several of her positive reviews, and she was fortunately available for pet sitting with short notice. Our two corgis are normally a bit shy around strangers, but took to Brandi very quickly and were relaxed around her. She sent us updates about our girls while we were away. The girls were happy to be able to stay at home with a new friend, and Brandi was a courteous house guest.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Clifton
Buck & Togo loved our time with Amelia. She was lots of fun and played ball with us and gave us lots of love and attention. Amelia had great communication with our mom & dad and sent lots of updates. She even left the house cleaner than when she arrived. We look forward seeing her again. Thank you Amelia.
Robert did an amazing job. I can’t say enough good things about him. I have a very reactive dog and Robert spent a considerable amount of time with us prior to my trip. Milo made a lot of progress being comfortable with Robert and I was able to enjoy my vacation without any worries. Robert is responsible, kind and patient. There was good communication as well with updates and pictures. Additionally he took excellent care of my cat. And I came home to a spotless house.
Lori is fantastic! From the moment she arrived for house-sitting until her lengthy good-bye, she was warm and pleasant and clearly showed her love for my fur-babies. We are vacationing, and needed someone to stay with our dogs in an unfamiliar place while the humans explored the beautiful area. Lori was easy to work with from the beginning, and accepted our request knowing she would not be able to meet us or our dogs in advance. We exchanged messages in advance, and I don't think we could have had a better experience. Lori is a warm, friendly person and that clearly extended to our precious pups in her care. THANK YOU, LORI!
Angela was wonderful with our pets. She kept us updated on her schedule while we were out of town and sent us pictures and updates through out the time she was house sitting and taking care of our pets. We will definitely rebook with Angela next time we need a pet sitter.
Amanda is the BEST! She watched our 4 dogs and 1 cat for an entire week and did the most amazing job. We had no worries the entire time we were gone knowing they were in such good hands. She was even flexible when our flights were super delayed! We can’t wait to keep working with her!

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 Clifton 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 Clifton 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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!

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 .
