About: Hi, I’m Kaila. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy who will give your dog extra love, you’ve come to the right place! Other than being responsible and caring, my goal is to understand every client’s wants and needs. Let me know if you have any special requests, and I would be sure to accommodate them. I send updates while taking care of your pet so that you can rest assured that your dog is safe with me. I know how much the protection of your pet means to you, so that is my #1 priority! As for my background, I have interned at Oradell Animal Hospital observing surgeries, sitting in on clinical appointments, and familiarizing myself with different dog breeds and their unique personalities and medical needs. I have also worked as a Veterinary Assistant, assisting veterinarians during handling, exams and medical procedures. I have just graduated with my Bachelor's Degree and am working part-time as a medical receptionist so I have extra time to look after your furry loved ones. I have pivoted my career path but I still have a special place in my heart for caring for animals and am on Rover to fulfill that! I can also take care of cats or any small animals. My preference is for smaller animals for doggy daycare/boarding since my apartment is on the smaller side! I am able to provide plenty of quality time with your pups! My schedule is that I work part-time and I try to keep my Calendar updated as much as I can. Safety is a top priority. I always stay attentive when opening/closing front doors and make sure there isn’t anything unsafe on the floor or reachable for your pet! In terms of play, I love to provide your dogs with mental and physical exercise. Bring your dog’s favorite toys and treats, and I’ll be sure to have some fun with them and make your dog feel comfortable. I look forward to get to know you and your wonderful dog soon.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 10. I spent my summers on my grandparents farm caring for all animals. I have my own fur babies. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I plan my schedule around feedings, walks, and playtime to make sure pets get consistent attention throughout the day. I’m organized and flexible, so I’m able to give them the time, care, and companionship they need without feeling rushed. I care for pets as if they’re my own. In my home, they’ll have a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and structured routines. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, and bedtime to keep things stress-free. I always prioritize safety, clear communication, and lots of love so your fur baby feels secure and happy while you’re away.
About: I have been an animal lover my entire life and have grown up surrounded by pets! My first pet was our family cat, Sadie, who lived to be 21 years old. After she passed, my parents welcomed two more cats into the family, whom I still love visiting and babysitting whenever I can. I am also a proud cat mom to my two fur babies, Stella and Sophia, who are both 2 years old and full of energy! In addition to my cat experience, I am an experienced dog walker and spent three years living with my roommates' dogs. During that time, I regularly walked and babysat them while their owners were at work. I truly love animals and understand that every pet has their own unique personality, needs, and routines. I can't wait to meet your furry family members, give them lots of love and attention, and care for them as if they were my own! I am a substitute teacher and typically have afternoons and evenings available for drops in visits and walks. Because I have cats of my own, I cannot offer overnight care in my own home, but I would be happy to care for a pet overnight in their home! I look forward to creating a schedule that works for you! I live in an apartment with my two girl cats. I feed them wet food in the morning and evening, and keep a small bowl of dry food out for them to free feed throughout the day. My girls are brushed regularly and I clip their nails every two weeks. You might find some cardboard boxes from packages strewn about my apartment because those are their favorite toys! I have experience dog walking with a local company and loved meeting all of the dogs and getting to know their personalities and favorite places to go potty 😂 I treat every animal as if they were my own and look forward to caring for your babies!
About: Since I was a kid I’ve been taking care of my own pets like dogs and rabbits. My neighbors and relatives have trusted me to take care of their own pets as well. I’ve helped my own female dog during labor when I was 12 years old. Being around animals in general makes me feel comfortable and they feel comfortable around me too. I’m currently working less hours in my full time job. I basically have threes day off where I can have plenty of time to walk the pups. I’m a very respectful and responsible person . I can easily adapt to your pets environment and make him/ her feel that I’m there for anything they need
“Valeria was great with my cat! She was very responsive, punctual, and genuinely cares about what she does. I loved the pictures and updates she sent when I was away. Would highly recommend!”
About: I’ve always been amazing with dogs/animals! I have a very special care for dogs specifically; I have a golden retriever of my own at home that’s my best (furry) friend! I’ve pet sit for many friends of mine and they’ve always been exceptionally pleased with my care for their animals. I love to give each of them specialized attention and get them out to get some exercise! I’m currently a full-time college student at MSU looking for a way to make some extra money! I have availability in my school schedule for your dog walking needs!! Please feel free to reach out for last minute availability, I am more then happy and willing to take care of you and your pup! I have lots of experience with many different breeds of dogs, and have exceptional care for each and every one of them! My priority is to make them feel cared for and have some fun!
“Michelle has been fantastic. My dog is a rescue and often takes a bit of time to warm up to new people. Michelle was so patient with him and continues to provide the highest level of care for him. Michelle is very responsive and always communicates before and after the visit. I’d highly recommend Michelle to help care for your pets!”
About: I’ve been volunteering with cats for over 6 years, and have owned several cats throughout my life. I’ve cat sat in my previous agency, where I worked making house calls for cat owners. I work remotely, and am usually available for most of the weekdays with flexible schedule. On weekends, I am available as well. I own a car, so being able to travel is easy. I have two very spoiled dogs and have fostered dogs throughout the past 7 years. I am responsible and reliable, and very communicative. I had previously been part of a private dog walking service in Montclair prior to the pandemic.
About: From the many years of having a Labrador I have learned many ways of taking care of a dog especially since mine is very wild. Recently a few years ago have also gotten a miniature schnauzer and I enjoy the amount of love I receive from both my pets. I also have much experience taking care of dogs from my sisters German shepherd that she has had the past years. I have a huge love for animals and I aim to provide the best care for any animal I am around. My time volunteering at the animal shelter in my home town has also shown me how different types of breeds act and how to calm them down. They also showed me the basic care that cats and dogs need. I tend to be the guy that plays with the dog in social gatherings mainly because I want to have a solid connection with them. The other pets in my pictures that are not mine are dogs I have cared for and found/rescued I can care for pets almost anytime before 4pm and I can stay the night with them almost very night. Of course a proper 1 day notice is appreciated I make sure to know rules the owners may have specific to their pets needs. Aside from that making sure they are in a comfortable environment with water and fed at their meal times. If allowed , walks too so they can use the bathroom and for exercise.

“Ashlee was an amazing fit for our Banji and our baby took to her very quickly ! The photo updates were amazing, and it was such a joy working with her. We will be booking her again !!”
“Having a stranger come over to feed our dogs and let them into the backyard was a slightly scary idea… but then I found Nathalia! Her communication was prompt, warm, and professional, and when she came over for the Meet and Greet, I knew that our dogs would be in great hands. Winnie and Hunter (our pups) instantly took to Nathalia, and she was so kind and patient with them. Later that day, Nathalia came to feed them and let them out, and she sent over a fun and detailed report of her visit with them. I’m so glad we found her, and I’d definitely use her again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Clifton
We had such a wonderful experience with Christina! 🥰 She was so sweet, reliable, and attentive with our puppy Chloe, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. Chloe absolutely loved spending time with her, and Christina was always great about keeping us updated. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We’re so grateful we found her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their fur baby! 🐶💕
Hi Michael! Sorry for the late response - after the 2am time back from VEG Saturday morning then the move-in on Sunday, I’m tired!! Thanks again for helping out and for the update. Moose (with his medicine) slept through the night without a coughing fit last night so he seems to be recovering. Now we just have a high energy dog who can’t go to day care at all this week! 😂 I hope you have a great week! Also, we’re seeing A Few Good Men at Lincoln Center on Sunday November 8, so we’ll request a drop-in if you’re around!
Michelle was great with my corgi. Communication while arranging the meet and greet could have been better but overall I’m very happy with the care she gave him for the drop-in visits. She listened exactly to what he needed and gave him lots of outside time. I would not hesitate to book with Michelle again.
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!
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! 🐾💛

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Clifton is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $31 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 26,201 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Clifton. 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.
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.
