Leigh took wonderful care of our cats while we were out of town. Communication was great. When we came home it was easy to see that our cats were well taken care of. I would not hesitate to book Leigh again.

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 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!

About: I've been a pet sitter since I was 10 years old, haven taken care of a wide diversity of animals including cats, senior dogs, and turtles, along with my own two dogs. I have received only positive reviews from my neighbors and often look after the same pets repeatedly. I have a lifelong love of animals, and make sure to dedicate myself to looking after your pets. I'm currently a college student, so I have a very flexible schedule this summer! I am available all days weekends and weekdays, but my schedule might change from week to week. I make sure to be very attentive of your pets and always keep a close eye on them. I am also able to give medicine if need be, as well as crate your dogs.

Gabriella is just wonderful. She’s absolutely professional in every way, but is also very warm, flexible and funny. She took great care of my two cats while I was away and was able to add a visit when my travel plans changed. Thank you Gabriella. I hope you will be able to help me out again in the future with Buttercup and Bailey.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I used Sheila while on holiday. I can't say enough about the care she provided my pets, her patience and her understanding. I inadvertently gave Sheila a key to my house that did not work. I was mortified since I was hundreds of miles away; but thanks to her patience and willingness to go the extra mile, I was able to get her another spare key to my house. My pets love her, I love her! I will definitely use Shelia again.

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.
