About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs. I have two dogs of my own and am currently taking care of three at once, so I’m very comfortable managing multiple pets and their different personalities and needs. I’ve experienced a lot when it comes to owning and caring for dogs, and I understand how important it is to give them patience, attention, and love. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or just keeping them company, I always treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away! I’m currently a college student and enjoy pet sitting on the side. I have my own car and a flexible schedule, allowing me to stop by for walks, feeding, playtime, or just to keep your pets company. I’m also available for occasional overnight stays depending on my school schedule! I always want what’s best for every pet I care for and will go above and beyond to make sure they’re happy, safe, and comfortable. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I make sure to follow their routines and give them the attention and care they deserve. I’ll always treat your pets like they’re my own!
“Paloma was wonderful! She took amazing care of Mylo, following all our instructions impeccably, communicated proactively, sending lots of photos and videos, and left our home pristine. It qould be our pleasure to have her sit with Mylo again!”
“Giselle is hands down the best sitter we’ve had. She went above and beyond in every way. Our elderly cat, who is usually skittish with new people, took to, her right away. My dog Cody was smitten, and we felt at ease the whole time we were gone. The pictures we received each day were proof positive they were happy. Giselle has a real gift with animals. This was our very first Rover experience, and we hit the Jackpot with her!”
“Erin was reliable, communicative, and made the entire experience stress-free. I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog in her care, and it was clear my dog was well looked after. I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a teenager, I myself have two small dogs at home, a chihuahua mix and a jack Russell terrier, your dog/cat will be well taken care of. I look forward to caring for your pets as if they are my own abiding by your rules and expectations. I’m currently working hybrid I have two days in office and 3 at home, I have two small female dogs, they are spayed and they are dogs friendly.

“Rachel was wonderful! She was very communicative and left my house in great shape after staying with my cats for almost two weeks. The kitties were happy when I was home, but not stressed out like they've been in the past when people have just done drop-ins. I highly recommend working with her!!”
“Izzi was great house sitting our two cats. One of which is a picky senior kitty. They sent pictures and responded quickly and thoroughly, as well as left our place clean. Would highly recommend Izzi :)”
“Breanna was very responsive and took great care of Fitz. He is shy and cautious by nature, but seemed very comfortable and happy in the photos and when I returned. I think he had a great time!”
“Kate spent two weeks with our 17 year old cat, Hunter. For the first four nights she also cared for our 5 year old Labrador retriever, Orli. Kate provided daily updates & great photos. It was obvious from the photos that both Hunter & Orli were comfortable and relaxed with Kate. Kate had no problem giving Hunter his twice daily insulin injections & keeping him on his feeding/meds schedule. It’s a comfort to know your fur babies are well cared for when you are away. We will definitely book Kate again to care for Hunter & Orli!”
“Kathy was awesome with my two rat terriers, Max and Jackson. She came to our home and stayed with them for 6 hours while we went out on a tour. We came back to two happy and well taken care of doggies. I definitely recommend her to take care of anyone’s pets.”
“Tricia was great. Took excellent care of my cat especially considering we had just moved into the new house and the cat was quite nervous about the new space. I would definitely recommend and use Tricia again.”

About: Hi! I'm a big dog lover who enjoys being active, spending time outdoors, and going on walks.

I've cared for puppies as young as 3 months old and senior dogs, including my own 18-year-old dog. I'm also a proud aunt to two dogs!

Maintaining your dogs regular scheduled routine and providing a safe and loving environment are my main priorities! I make sure collars and harnesses are triple checked before walks, keep owners up to date with photos and give your dog my full attention during playtime, walks and care. My goal is to make sure your pup feel just as comfortable, happy and loved while you’re away!🐶
“Chris was phenomenal with my dog and we felt extremely comfortable having him in our home while we were away for a week. He offered to care for many other things during his time at our house. I highly recommend Chris !! He was extremely responsive whenever I wanted to check in and gave me a detailed breakdown of the day! He was fantastic and I’ll certainly be using him again!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Clifton
I wish Izzi was right next door to us so we can have them over everyday! They were incredible to our boys, who can be a handful for the wrong person but felt so at home with Izzi. A great person and a great sitter. Thank you for keeping Atlas and Henry company and making them feel cared for. Will definitely be booking you again <3
Erin was incredible with our pets during her stay! My dog is 14 years old with Cushing’s disease and I was very worried about leaving him for 10 days, but Erin took all that worry away for me. She updated me almost daily, sent many pics and videos, and took great care of our apartment. I could tell my animals loved her very much and were happy. I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!
Megan is amazing, she came on time, followed instructions, took Athena out at night and in the morning as instructed, not to mention she stayed up all night with Athena🥹 which was very sweet of her, but not necessary. She sent us updated pictures and gave us a nice little summary before she left the house. We definitely will be booking with her again, thank you so much!!!
Carly was the BEST with our Ivy girl! She was so attentive and she wanted to make sure she followed all our instructions. She sent us daily updates constantly which I truly appreciated. So grateful for her! Thank you again, Carly!! Would love to have you watch ivy again!
Marisol was excellent! Although there were minor communication mistakes, she definitely made the effort to resolve those issues! She was very respectful and kind. Took great care of my home in my absence. Definitely very respectful and kind of other people’s belongings, pets, etc.
I had a great experience with Elissa! She took excellent care of my dog Jake and kept me updated throughout the stay with plenty of photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. Jake looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. It was clear that she genuinely enjoys spending time with animals and treats them like her own. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!
Valerie did a great job taking housesitting and taking care of our animals (dog & cats). The house was in good order and she sent photos and regular reports via chat. We know how our animals are and the reports were right on track with what experience - the good and the moody! - which added a lot of trust on our part. Definitely recommend Valerie!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Clifton is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $80 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 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.

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.
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 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.
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.
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Clifton. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% 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.
