âOmar is fantastic. He took great care of our cat including giving him oral meds and lots of exercise and attention. He sent us 6+ pictures and a note every day, which gave us a little piece of home every day. He also took great care of our home and was easy to coordinate with. Highly recommend.â
âEmma was a great dog sitter. She was both communicative and diligent in sending updates. The dogs were happy and well taken care of when we got back. Emma was also very flexible and understanding about logistical challenges that came up with travel and willing to accommodate where she could. I would definitely rebook Emma again for our next trip.â
âWhile we were out of the country, our water heater âexploded.â Jesse stepped up and worked with the plumber to coordinate everything, provide the necessary information, and get them into the house. Not only is your pet in great hands with Jesse, but your home is too. Iâd recommend him to anyone looking for pet care!â
About: I've had two dogs of my own - one blind, and the other deaf. I am happy to manage your pet's quirks while we're having a great time together, too. Every pet needs something different, so I'll pay close attention to the details of your instructions. I'm also very focused on safety: leashes and familiar walks are a must! I am a teacher, so during the school year, I am available after 4:00pm to check in on your pet so everyone is happy when you arrive home. Also, I am booking now for summer - I would love to share my time off with your pets! I am a teacher during the school year, so my summer is wide open. I do enjoy visiting a few clients each day - it adds some structure to my own life! At my place, I have an air-conditioned apartment and a small porch where your pet and I can relax. We can take walks in the neighborhood or along the rail trail, located right across the street. Leashes and tags are always a must! In your home, I'll be sensitive to your pet's routines and habits around the house. Likewise, I'll be careful about your privacy and the condition of your home. In either location, we can agree on a timetable so you can expect pictures and updates of your special pet.
âLibby was fantastic with our 2 dogs! They were so happy and content when we got home. She kept us update throughout our whole time away and put our minds at ease so we could enjoy our vacation.â
About: I was born into a family of pets and have been taking care of my dog and cat for years now. Walking, bathing, playing and loving. I am attending collage in the morning on Mondays, Thudays and Fridays but after 2pm I am usually free. I am usually always free on the weekends. While pet sitting I will walk, play and absolutely adore the furry baby that I have the honor of seeing. Any rules in place I will do absolute best to follow.
âEmily did a great job looking after our cat! She was communicative prior to the start of the booking, and great with managing the details. During her stay, I got lots of great updates and photos which were much appreciated. I would absolutely use her services again!â
âI can't say enough good things about Alycia. She has a very tranquil way about her if that makes sense, Meeko loved her instantly (which never happens) and I knew immediately that he was in good hands while we were out of town. She stayed with Meeko at our house and things couldn't have gone better; she sent updates and pictures, took him on tons of walks, followed he eating/diet schedule - we came home to a very happy pup! I highly recommend her!â
âStiles did great with my little man! Heâs not the easiest pup to take walk/take care of because of his blindness and him just being adopted. But Titan looked like he had a great time. I also got some very cute pictures of my boy which is much appreciated (:â
âDawn was wonderful throughout her stay and made us feel at ease when traveling away from our pup for longer than normal. We got regular updates and felt our dog was getting her own little staycation while we were away. Thank you so much!â
About: My mom was a vet growing up as well as a dog trainer and daycare owner. I have taken care of dogs with her for years and have also learned basics like giving dogs insulin, flea meds, and other meds. I am a college student at endicott college in Beverly Ma, I am just looking to make extra money and get outside and with some furry friends! I miss my animals and love the fulfillment of playing with them. My dogs at home have an invisible fence. I still usually will check on them a few times to make sure they havenât gotten out, but that is a very rare occasion. In the past when taking care of animals without an invisible fence, I be sure to have them on a leash or in very close proximity.
âLiz is absolutely wonderful! The best part is that my shy dog, Winnie, really took to her. Liz was super punctual and responsible, and she left my house looking great. I will definitely book her again!â
âFarhad was wonderful with our babies, and even treated them as his own. He sent plenty of updates a day videos. This is the start of a great friendship. I would definitely recommend him!â

âIf I could give more than 5 stars I would! Nick was amazing with our dog Cooper and cat Riley! We received so many pictures and updates throughout the day and he was so responsive. Will definitely be a repeat customer!! Thanks Nick!!â
âAndrew took great care of our pup, Ella. Ella has not always had an easy time when we leave but she seemed really at ease when we got home and Andrew provided us updates throughout our time. We will definitely have him back!â

Emma did an amazing job taking care of our pets while we were away. Our dog is a bit needy, and Emma was able handle his needs with great care and attention. Emma sent frequent updates with pictures. We would definitely recommend Emma for their pet sitting needs.
Hannah is an absolute gem, and we could not be more grateful for the care she gave our dog, Zero, on our wedding day. My husband and I needed a pet sitter for a few hours during our destination wedding in Salem, MA. Zero is very anxious and deeply attached to me, and shortly before our wedding, we received the heartbreaking news that he was terminally ill. Finding someone we trusted to care for him during such an emotional time was incredibly important to us. From our first conversation, Hannah was compassionate, understanding, and easy to talk to. She listened carefully to Zeroâs needs and made us feel as comfortable as if we were speaking with a friend. She also prepared an emergency plan, including contact information for local veterinary and emergency services, and made sure we were comfortable with it beforehand. That thoughtfulness gave us tremendous peace of mind. Hannah arrived at our hotel on time and took wonderful care of Zero. She took him on several walks and even sent us a photo of him cuddling up to her once he had settled in. What meant the most was her patience: she never pushed him to interact, instead giving him the space and time he needed to feel comfortable. Seeing him relax with her meant everything to us. We visit Salem often, and Hannah will be our first choice whenever we need a dog sitter in the future. Her kindness, professionalism, and natural ability to connect with animals truly stand out. If you are considering booking her, we wholeheartedly recommend her. Hannah, thank you again for caring for our sweet boy and allowing us to enjoy our wedding knowing he was in loving, capable hands. We apologize for taking so long to write this review (the weeks since the wedding have been hectic) but our gratitude has never faded. We wish we could have thanked you in person at pickup. You made a difficult and emotional time easier, and we will always be grateful.
Libby saved the day! We had an issue come up with our original sitter and Libby came in on the fly to save the day! She loved on our babies while we were overseas, took great care of our home. She was an awesome communicator. We hope to use her again. We feel very fortunate to have found her!
Rebecca asked great questions during our meet and greet, which gave us confidence in her experience and thoughtfulness. She followed every instruction, and was ever-present in giving four pups of varying personalities/needs love and attention for six days - not an easy task! She was respectful of our home and even had the sheets washed. We would absolutely welcome her back and recommend to anyone needing either short-term or longer term care.
Lauren is absolutely wonderful! We had just moved into a new apartment the week before her sit, and she was so accommodating and flexible and patient with our anxious pup. She was very communicative, sent GREAT pictures of our dog (who looked very happy in all of them), and left our apartment in beautiful and very clean condition. 10/10 would absolutely recommend! Thank you Lauren!
Madelyn was the perfect dog sitter! Ozzie really loved her (and it takes a while for him to warm up to people), and they developed a really nice bond while we were away for two weeks. I would definitely recommend her to anyone and will be asking her to watch Oz again. She also left our home clean and organized and followed my instructions to a t!
Katie took the best care of our dog during an overnight stay at our house. She provided thorough updates and was so kind and professional. She put our mind at ease and we knew that our girl was safe and cared for. Could not have asked for anything better! Thank you so much Katie!!
Mark was great! Easy to work with, took my pup on great walks, gave updates as needed. Our very anxious pup didnât want him to leave when we got home. This was our first time using Rover so we were so nervous but Mark put our mind at ease. We would definitely use him again.
That was my first time using Rover and working with Kirssy. Kirssy is amazing! Kittens warmed up to her fast and they became best friends. Kirssy sent me multiple pictures of the kitties every day and kept me posted of their activities. Will definitely use her service next time.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Clifton is $67 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $47 and $81 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your petâs 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.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitterâs 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 homeâs security or appliances.
Itâs 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 theyâll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your petâs 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 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!
The Rover Guarantee is Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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 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.
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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Clifton. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
