Maddy watched our two dogs and cat for us while we were out of town, and she was wonderful. Our pets loved her and she gave them lots of attention. She provided great feedback after each visit. We’d love to have her watch our crew again!

We had a fantastic experience with Hannah! She was incredibly responsive and always quick to reply to any questions or updates. When we decided to extend our trip by an extra night, she was more than willing to go above and beyond to accommodate the change, which gave us great peace of mind. Super punctual and reliable, we knew our dog was in great hands. Highly recommend!

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’ve had pets my entire life and have over 10 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. Friends and family have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and look after their pets. I’m also comfortable caring for and helping train puppies, including basic commands, routines, and house training. I have had multiple elderly dogs which I have administered medications of all sorts to. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for pets throughout the week. I’m available for house sitting and will make sure each pet receives consistent attention, walks, playtime, and care around my work schedule. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure they stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, walking, and household instructions, keep doors and gates secure, and provide regular updates so owners know their pets are safe and happy.

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.

Manrong went above and beyond in caring for and feeding Moonbeam our cat while we were out of town for a few days. She was very thorough in cleaning out dishes, refilling fresh water, mealtimes, playtime, and did her utmost to open/close shades and maintain a great home environment every time she stopped by to take care of MB. She also gained MB’s trust each day. She was punctual, communicative, and asked questions/ shared updates frequently. She gave us so much of peace of mind! I would recommend her as one of the best petsitter’s we have come across!

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.

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.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Clifton on Rover is $16.35 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 14,717 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.
