About: I have always had pets, growing up as a child, and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. My love for animals reflects daily as I have been working in a pet boarding and day care facility for the past 8 years. I have extensive experience working with all breeds and ages of animals, including both aggressive dogs, and working canines. I can also provide prescription medications and groom (bath and nail trims) as needed. Given my years of professional experience, I am confident in my abilities to take care of your pet(s). I do currently work full-time during the day Monday through Friday, however, I am available late afternoons, evenings and all-day on weekends including some holidays. I currently have an American Bully at home, and she is accustomed to having multiple dogs and small children in the home at times as well. Unfortunately, our backyard is not fenced in however, I can provide a cage if needed or gate the stairs to allow free roam on the main level if housebroken. I can provide services both in your home or mine including overnight stays and daily walks as requested.

About: I love dogs but not enough to steal yours because I have high morals. Does your dog have a lot of energy? Do they need to be outside and exercise? I will take them for a run, to play fetch, tug of war! Or if it’s an older dog than maybe an easy stroll around the neighborhood and back home for a nap. Each dog is different and will be treated as the best good boy (or girl). I have dog sit for friends and family in the past with no issues. So just know if you go with me your lovely pup will be cared for. I am seeking dogs to bring some joy into my life and hope that you will choose me!

Gabriella was absolutely wonderful with our high-energy Belgian Malinois…she knew exactly what he needed for exercise and it was apparent through the report cards that he was happy to have her there. Will definitely have Gabriella watch our boy again!

About: Your pet's happiness and safety are my top priorities. I'll provide dependable care, lots of attention, and regular updates so you can relax knowing they're in great hands. As a part-time employee and a college student in my final semester, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care. I plan my days carefully to ensure every pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Whether it's walks or drop-in visits, I'm committed to being reliable, responsive, and giving each pet my full attention♥️ Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. At my home, I have a securely fenced yard for my doggies. In a client's home, I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions (if needed), and any specific care requests.

Thank you so much for loving on my old cat while I was away! Couldn’t be happier and made all the difference having a good trip knowing the old fuzzball was getting lots of attention and was great to get check ins to see how he was doing.

About: I have worked with all kinds of dogs and cats over the years, and I pride myself on being compassionate, adaptable, and attentive. Whether I’m working with energetic puppies, tranquil senior dogs, or even dogs recovering from surgery, I’ve got the experience and patience to meet the individual needs of your pets. I’m comfortable administering medications, and working with dogs who might not get along as well with other dogs. Whether pets are big or small, shy or playful, I know how to handle their needs and make them feel loved and comfortable. I also offer routine drop-ins and house sitting, keeping your pets happy while making sure your home stays the way you left it. I have plenty of time on my hands, so I can divest as much as needed to take care of your pets. Whether it’s week days, weekends, or holidays, I am at your service. I have two Golden Retrievers: Winston is 2 while Jake is 14. They both have different needs as Winston is significantly more energetic. He needs a lot more playtime so I take him outside to play throughout the day. Jake is a rugged senior who lives a life of tranquility (although Winston won’t always give that to him) and mostly lays around all day. I walk them both 2 miles every day and let them out throughout the day to use the bathroom. At nights and mornings Jake needs a little assistance getting up and down the stairs and he also requires medication in the morning and night which I put in a chunk of banana. Winston gets a piece of banana too but that’s because he’s spoiled. As for other people’s pets, I use the same amount of care as if they were my own pets. Of course their needs may differ than my two dogs, but I care for everyone’s pets like they are my pets.

About: I’ve taken care of multiple dogs during my life time and know how to keep them happy and safe. And this won’t just be me but also my two kids. I also just last year took care of our neighbors hyper dog for a few days. I’m currently not working I’m retired and have free time on my hands and it seemed like an easy side hustle that I can do with my family and so that my youngest daughter learns responsibility. I have a lot of experience with dogs and me and family currently have a dog(Jack Russel Terrier) of 5 years. And with my same experience I will take of your Pet very well and keep them happy. Because pets are more than just companions they are family.

About: Hi there. My name is Mercedes and I am looking forward to meeting you and your dog. If you’re looking for an experienced, compassionate, and responsible pet sitter, you’ve come to the right place. I’ve always adored dogs--they understand you, they provide companionship, and they make your house a home. After 15 wonderful years, I recently lost my dog Lala She was an incredibly well behaved sheltie, and I miss her dearly. I don’t yet have another dog of my own, and I wanted to help others in my community by offering pet sitting services. I’m home full-time, and I have lots of space for furry guests. I pride myself on my customer service skills, and as a former pet parent, I know how hard it is for you to leave your family member behind. When your dog is in my care they will get tons of attention, love, and as much playtime as they need. I have a lot of energy, so your pet will be kept pretty busy! Please reach out to me if you have any questions. I can’t wait to hear from you.

Emily was the kindest cat sitter we could have asked for. I felt 100% comfortable leaving her access to my home and my beloved cat for the time we were away on vacation. I will definitely call her the next time we travel without our cat.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Clifton on Rover is $16.35 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 14,715 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Clifton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

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. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

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. 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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Clifton. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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 calendar availability.

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.
