“Madison did a great job caring for Arthur! Perfect amount of communication, showed up right on time and did everything that was asked. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter! Would definitely book with her again.”
About: Hello! My name is lily and I am passionate about animal care and nutrition. I have gained so much insight working in numerous boarding facilities and specialty pet food stores. I love learning, meeting, helping, and handling all of your furry friends needs! I have background in canine handling of all sizes and temperaments. I have worked with all ages and enjoy the daily challenges and achievements of all. On top of this I am confident in administering medication if needed to ensure exemplary care is provided. My overall goal is to ensure the both happiness and satisfaction from both the pet and the owner. I have obtained numerous handling and first aid certifications to gain as much knowledge in caring for your pet! In my daily routine I wake up around 6am every morning to prepare my cats and dogs breakfast. This typically looks like a mix of wet food with Chicken Hearts, Minnows, livers, or other fun additions. Then my dog Levi and head out for our walk and daily training. We typically repeat this process every night for dinner. I clean out my cats litter boxes daily and ensure monthly grooming of all animals is completed at the beginning of the month. Animal care is always a top priority in my house. I am more than comfortable adhering to the best schedule for your pets needs in their environment. Drop in visits will hopefully maintain the animals routine as closely as possible as it would with their owner, with of course some added fun hopefully some extra love while the owner is away!
“there's no one I would trust more than Melika with my dogs. they absolutely love her and she's so so good with them I never have to worry when they're with her”
“We have used Leigh twice in a row now for checkins on our senior cat, Dori. It was a longer than usual trip out of town, and Dori has some special dietary needs, so I was a bit worried about her, but Leigh took good care of her and kept her entertained! Lots of playing and cuddles, which Dori loved. Leigh also has great communication and seems to really care about the pets she’s watching, which gave me peace of mind. Thank you Leigh!”
“Hailey was amazing and took such great care of my dog while I was away. She was very responsive which i really appreciated and sent pictures whenever she got the chance. I highly recommend her. Thank you so much Hailey for taking good care of karma for me!”
“Riley took excellent care of our 2 dogs, 1 cat, a hedgehog and a turtle! She is a saint with my Rottweiler too! Most people we have tried to have come over are hesitant and nervous and the dog can sense that and be aggressive. She had no issues with Riley. I loved reading her detailed notes about each visit. She spent plenty of time at the house and showed love and care to all our animals. It gave us such peace of mind while we were traveling. We will definitely be using her again!”
“katrina has proven to be reliable and thorough with her care for atlas. she sent lots of photos and informational status updates that gave me great peace of mind. will definitely be booking with her again :)”
“Teju was very caring and responding when she took care of Sola. She made a pre-visit to make herself familiar to my dog and communicated so closely. Thank you, Teju, for your kind care!”
“Nazeeya is a super kind, thoughtful dog sitter who made sure to ask all the important questions to be able to care for Baby in the best way. She has a true love for animals and sent very cute updates of Baby so I could see how he was doing while I was away. I would recommend Nazeeya to anyone who needs a loving, experienced animal care taker!”
“Our dog, Cookie, loved Mallory! She was always on time and spent quality time with Cookie. She sent great pictures of the adventures they had together. Will certainly book Mallory any time we need someone to watch Cookie for us. Thank you Mallory!”
About: My name is Gabby, I'm 25 years old, and I'm currently in the Navy looking for a little extra cash on the side. I own a dog (bulldog/pit mix) and a cat who have been with me for about two years now and grew up with a dog. I'm work well with dogs any size and cats as well. I look forward to looking after your fur babies! I'm currently working full time 9-3 but have time to check on anything you need before or after then. I'm also available every holiday if you want to make a vacation then! I have a fenced yard with a very friendly dog and a cat who had grown up with dogs her entire life. I will make sure to follow any instructions you provide me with!
“Absolutely fantastic Petsit!! Seth took care of my pup recovering from surgery on 3 legs. He asked the right questions and was genuinely interested in the comfort and care of our little boy!! Very thankful and I will be booking him again!”
“Wyatt and his dog Alien are amazing. I needed someone dependable that could get my high energy dog out for a walk and play date, and Wyatt never let me down! On time, reliable and trustworthy, will definitely use him again. I have given his name out to my neighbors as well.”
About: We are a husband-and-wife duo who love animals. We both work from home so your furbabies will be well looked after. We've volunteered with pet rescues (most recently) from 2020-2022, finding over 25 puppies, kittens, dogs and cats their furever home. We have both had dogs from puppies to when they crossed the Rainbow Bridge and are familiar with the delicate nature of aging in our beloved pets. I've had experience administering insulin to a cat while cat sitting. Your animals will be treated like our extended family. We let our own mammals out once every two hours. We also feed our animals twice a day about 12 hours apart. We make sure they are well exercised and rested. There is a large fenced in area for horses that we converted to our own private dog park. We will follow the rules of your home should you need a stop in. If your mammals stay with us, we will treat them as our own, and per your instructions.
“Neha took amazing care of my 3 kitties while we were on vacation. I am very particular about who cares for my fur babies and I instantly felt at ease with Neha and knew that she would take great care in ensuring that my cats were safe and well looked after. She provided multiple photos daily and enabled me to be able to relax knowing that my kitties were safe and happy.”
About: Growing up, I’ve been surrounded by a variety of pets in our home – hamsters, turtles, guinea pigs, and our family dog. I was primarily responsible for our pets and also have experience with other dogs entrusted to me by close family friends. You can be assured that I will provide your pet with attentive, reliable care while you enjoy your time away. As of now, my schedule is quite flexible since I am back home for the summer months. This allows me to have plenty of time to shower your dog with lots of love! We live in a townhouse with a small, enclosed yard. Our home is pet friendly and there are small parks nearby where your dog could enjoy.
About: Long time dog/cat owner that has years of experience working with Rover and Wag to deliver quality, reliable, pet care. I treat every animal as if it is my own. I’m currently available the majority of the time both during the week and weekends currently to provide flexible and convenient care for your pets. I ensure your dog is safe and secure before going out and make sure to keep an eye out for any hazardous conditions. I treat each pet like they are my own.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Clifton
Melika was truly wonderful, we would definitely hire her again to watch our pups! Having two large dogs makes it not so easy to find someone comfortable watching them but Melika was able to handle them (and their rambunctious behavior) so well, the pups both loved her! She even brought over our lab a slow feeder bowl to test out before we invested in the purchase - so sweet! She was on time, communicated well, and sent lots of photos and updates. Highly recommended booking with Melika!

Most bookings cost between $7 and $21 per visit. 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.

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.

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.
