“Ashley is great with my pets. They really like her. She is patient and sweet with them. I truly appreciate her communication throughout the visits to let me know they are ok and if it's still a good time to drop in. I am look forward to our next booking coming up in July. I know I can trust her with my pets while we are away.”

About: I have the unique perspective of being both a "dog person" and a "cat person". I grew up caring for my lively Jack Russell Terrier and I now live with my two cats. I have a deep love for all animals and I am highly attentive to their needs and health. As a college student, I have a very light schedule over the summer, so I have plenty of time to spend caring for your pets! I am very attentive to your pets' needs. I have experience safely walking dogs of all sizes, letting them enjoy themselves while still keeping them secure. I am cautious when it comes to keeping the house secure when checking in and making sure they are eating well.
About: I’ve had my dog for 9 years and have grown a loving passion for dogs over the time! I am currently seeking volunteer work at local shelters so that I can have experience with other dogs and understanding their personality, temperment, and personal needs. This way, I am more equipped to service your loving doggo! I’m currently available on Sundays and Mondays after 6 am and before 4 pm, with hopes of extending my available days soon. Check back for updates! I don’t yet offer in-home visits, however I do have a fenced-in backyard for your doggo to enjoy whenever I decide to offer boarding services! I am also more than willing to provide regular photo and text updates, so that you may rest assure your dog is in great hands.
“Kelly is the absolute best. This was our first time on Rover, and her communications were clear and quick, and she did great work reassuring us that our pup was in good hands. Loved the photographs, and really appreciated the time she took to communicate with us by phone and by text. We’re only slightly concerned that our pup now likes her more than us! 😀 Hugely impressed with Kelly - she’ll take fab care of your pups.”
“Stef, as always did an amazing job caring for our pets. She usually watches our energized pup but this time watched our quiet elusive cat. Stef kept up with food, water, litter box and played with our Harper (when she was willing to come out). We also appreciated that she noticed a lamp running too hot and turning it off, or turning on AC for our cat on a hotter day. We always know we can rest easy when Stef is caring for our pets.”
About: I have two pets of my own, a cat and a dog. I know the needs to take care of both of them and would find it easier to handle yours. Worked at a pet hotel for a couple weeks and dealt with a variety of dogs (even cats) and know that each pet can be different and I'm ready to accustomed to your pet to ensure they feel comfortable and safe! I currently work at a nightshift so I would prefer to work during the evening. Depending on my schedule I would be able to work nightshifts on Tuesdays, Saturdays and Wednesdays. My dog is very playful and would enjoy having a bit of fun with yours! My cat is shy to newcomers so it might not interact with your pet.
About: I have had pets for the past decade including a dog, guinea pig, two parakeets, and fish. I promise exceptional care when I am booked. I am currently a college student looking for work part time, I have plenty of free time and would love to be a resource to those who need me. I have worked as a babysitter and cleaner all throughout my years in high school, so I know my way around taking care of a home.
“I’d easily recommend Jonny to anyone. Me and my wife have a fairy large dog who doesn’t love new people. With our wedding coming up we needed to find someone to pop in and check on him, Jonny did just that for us and alleviated a lot of our stress. Jonny was super flexible with his schedule, he took the time to get out dog comfortable with him. At first meeting our dog was on the aggressive side and Jonny didn’t flinch. He’s a true pro. Beyond that he’s a great guy, super calm and friendly, there was never a doubt about his character and leaving him access to our house. We will definitely be using him more in the future. I couldn’t recommend him more.”
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs since I was little for family and neighbors. I can bathe, walk, feed, and care for dogs. I have 5 cats so I am very well known with how to care for a cat, I can clean litter boxes, feed, and care for all cats. During the week I am available early in the morning before 8am, and I also am available after 3 most days during the week. I am available on weekends at any time. I have 4 cats and feed them everyday. I also give one of my cats medication everyday. I take very good care of my cats, I have watched over a cousins dog in my home and it went very well, the cats never messed with him and he was very happy. I have also dog sat my brothers dog many times since he was a puppy.
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different ages and personalities, including my own. I’m especially comfortable with small breeds and senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I’ve cared for my own senior dog with health needs, including giving medication, keeping an eye on any changes, and making sure they’re comfortable and safe. That’s made me really detail-oriented and tuned in to each dog’s routine. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and I always follow instructions closely. Whether it’s a walk or a drop-in, I want your dog to feel calm, cared for, and happy, and for you to feel at ease too. Pet care fits well into my schedule, and I’m available for walks and drop-in visits throughout the week and on weekends. I’m able to plan around scheduled bookings and keep my availability updated so pet parents can count on consistent, dependable care. I provide attentive care in both my home and a client’s home, always following the pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions. This includes feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and administering medication if needed. I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency, and make sure pets are not left alone longer than necessary. For walks, I focus on safe, structured outings that match each dog’s energy level and needs. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident and connected while they’re away.
About: I grew up in the Philippines from when I was born till I was 19. And for those years we have always had a dog in the house. Most at one time was 6 dogs. All are trained and well taken care of from the moment they were born or adopted. Giving them their best lives is all that they deserve from us, these furry friends will love us unconditionally. It’s my job to make sure that they feel that same love back. I am currently working part time on a few jobs around the Montclair/Bloomfield area. I plan to return to school for my doctorate but for the mean time caring for pets have always been a love of mine and I will do my very best to make sure your little (or big) buddies get the attention they require. Depending on the breed of dog and their individual energy levels, their playtimes would vary from either indoor activities like tug of war, sensory activities like training their sense of smell with treats, or more outdoor backyard stuff like fetch, making sure all their zoomies are taken outside before they cause a mess inside the house. Making sure that each pet is well stimulated and given and good amount of food and water after tends to get them in a lot calmer mood as the sun begins to dim
About: I have always been involved in pet care in my home for over 15 years. I have had experience with elderly dogs and cats of my own. I have pet-sitted in my neighborhood for puppies and for breeds different from my own dogs. I will use my energy to play with your pet and hopefully decrease their energy. I have a very flexible schedule since graduating college and applying to graduate school nearby. I have lots of time and availability for stop-ins during the day or bringing study materials to a client’s home. My yard is fenced in and I can take dogs for a walk in Brookdale Park nearby. I will administer medicine and play with dogs and provide them with a cuddly environment.

We are so grateful for Geoff! He recently helped us out on very short notice when we needed someone to care for our dog, Cayenne, and our two cats so that our whole family could travel for a college visit with our son. Geoff was incredibly accommodating, reliable, and took great care of all three of them, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Geoff has been wonderful with Cayenne and is someone we know we can depend on. It means a lot to have someone we trust caring for our pets, especially when plans come together unexpectedly. We highly recommend Geoff and truly appreciate everything he does for our furry family members!
Christina is awesome! She made sure our boy got plenty of love and exercise and gave very detailed updates. Not only that - we had an issue with a tricky lock and she went above and beyond to communicate with us and get in the house to ensure Jet was taken care of. I can’t recommend her enough and will definitely look to her again when we are looking for a dog sitter. Thank you Christina!
Pete is amazing. I was gone for a business trip last week and Pete came over every morning to watch Oscar and see him off to daycare every day. Oscar was thrilled, as was Sandy, to spend so much time with his best friend. It gave me such peace of mind knowing that Pete was taking care of Oscar, and it was amazing to have one less thing to worry about. I literally cannot put a price on that!! Thank you, Pete!!
I can’t say enough great things about Ashley ! From the very first meet-and-greet, it was clear how kind, reliable, and genuinely passionate she is about animals. She took the time to understand my dog’s personality, routine, and needs, which immediately put me at ease. While at work I received photos, and little notes that reassured me my dog was not only safe, but happy and well cared for. It truly felt like my dog was being treated like family, not just a booking. When I come home from work, my dog is relaxed, content, and clearly has formed a bond with Ashley - which says everything. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pet ! If you’re looking for someone dependable, communicative, and full of love for your pet, I highly recommend Ashley !
Stefanie was absolutely AMAZING! From the moment she started, we felt completely at ease. She sent frequent updates and adorable photos throughout her stay, which meant the world to us. She truly saved us in a last-minute situation and was beyond accommodating and flexible. It was so clear our pups were happy, comfortable, and in the excellent hands. We highly recommend Stefanie to anyone looking for exceptional care! 🐾💛

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Clifton stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.

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.
