“Bryant was excellent with my senior dog. He was incredibly experienced in terms of my dog’s specific needs, including diaper changes and being mindful of her dementia traits. He was also very communicative and offered multiple updates throughout the day.”
About: Hello! My name is Patty, and I’m a lifelong cat lover who truly enjoys caring for animals. I have two cats of my own, Sol and Luna, both two years old, so I understand firsthand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. I’ve cared for them since they were kittens, and I’m comfortable working with cats of all ages, from playful little ones to more independent adults. Pets have always been a big part of my life, and I know that each one has their own unique personality and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to adapt to whatever makes your pet feel safest and happiest, whether that’s playtime, quiet companionship, or sticking closely to their routine. I’m currently a student at Columbia University, which gives me a flexible schedule for drop-ins and house sitting. I’m also happy to help with small extras like watering plants while you’re away. I’m open to last-minute bookings whenever possible—just send me a message, and we can find a time that works! I’d love to help make your time away stress-free, knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands. I am a full time student at Columbia, so I have a very flexible schedule. I am specifically looking for opportunities to pet sit over the summer when I will have the most availability, allowing me to stop by as often as you would want me to. I treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I pay close attention to their routines, whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, getting in plenty of playtime, or just providing calm companionship. I’m experienced with different personalities and energy levels, so I adapt to what each pet needs. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, or extra patience I am here for it. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are always my top priority.
“Diana does really well with my dog who is very anxious about meeting new people. She keeps me informed about everything my dog does and takes great pictures of my dog. She is very good at taking instructions and takes great care of my dog.”
“Mo took excellent care of my dog and left my apartment spotless, which was a lovely surprise after a long travel day. Would absolutely book again!”
“Jebraune is our go to cat sitter now. She is respectful of our home and spoils our two cats! We get timely updates and she goes above and beyond to ensure the cats are happy. She has even been helping us train our cats since one is new to the house. Thank you!!”
“Ellie had a great time with Yeisha. They played and cuddled, which is a big deal for my pup, who often takes time to warm up to new people. Looking forward to using Yeisha again soon.”
About: I’ve had experience taking care of dogs since I was 13. Aside from caring from my own dog, I have care for the dogs (and cats!) of family and friends, walking them, dog sitting at their homes, or dropping for walks, feeding and play time. I’ve had plenty of experience working with puppies and senior dogs, particularly with my own dog who experienced many health issues in his older years. I work from home, and have a relatively flexible schedule. That being said, my availability is largely after 3pm during the weekdays or mornings and afternoons on Saturdays, but I am able to drop in visits and walks during the day as well, schedule allowing! I typically care for pets in the pet parents home based on the pet parents guidelines. I like to ask pet parents as many questions as possible to make sure I try to maintain as close a routine as possible for the pet while they are in my care. This include walking and feeding schedules, how much playtime and what kind of playtime is allowed/encouraged, and any other specifics I should know about how to care for the pet (medication, where they sleep, how they interact with other dogs/pets, etc.)
“Asel bonded immediately with River at our meet/greet. River was sad to see her go at the end of her stay. Asel was amiable, professional and positive throughout our trip. She provided regular updates and photos/videos, which were reassuring. We could tell that she was quite engaged with River. She took great care of our apartment during her four-day stay. We hope to have Asel stay with River again on our next trip.”
“Stav did a wonderful job! We were so appreciative that our Aretha received so many nice long walks in the park (more than we ordinarily do!). Aretha was well taken care of and we came home to a clean apartment! Such peace of mind is everything! Thank you, Stav!”
“Amanda was great. She took care of my two Manchesters while I was traveling to/from Argentina. She stayed at my home and gave them the attention I had hoped for. She stayed in touch, sent photos and made the hectic trip easier.”
“I booked a date with Esther and Jay so we could meet each other. I also thought it would give my cat an opportunity to become familiar with them. They arrived exactly on day and time we planned. Esther and Jay are warm and friendly and I found them a joy to have in my home. They asked good questions and I knew they would be wonderful caretakers for my cat. Now if I have to travel, I know my cat and my home will be well looked after.”
“Thank you for everything, Drew! As always, stellar care. We greatly appreciate it and all the special updates we received along the way. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
“This was our first time having Razan watch our cat, and she was fantastic! She is proactive, considerate, and highly communicative. I especially appreciated that she took the time to meet our cat beforehand to learn how to administer his asthma inhaler. While we were away, she was attentive to all his needs and sent daily photos and updates. We returned to a clean and tidy apartment. Thank you so much, Razan!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for practically all of my life. My family and friends would ask me to take care of or walk their pets and I’d always be there when they needed. I’m also used to taking care of puppies and kitties and enjoyed it no matter how tiring it may have been. My schedule right now is completely free other than going to school and so I’ll always have time to be able to walk a dog or take care of them. In my clients home if I’m pet sitting I’ll make sure I ask where their food is, where I take their water from and if there’s anything in their house that is specifically for their pet and remember that spot for future uses.
About: Hello! My name is Cameron M, and I’m a dedicated and experienced animal caretaker with over 10 years of experience providing attentive, compassionate care for pets. I’ve spent years looking after family and neighborhood animals—dogs, cats, and small pets—ensuring they always feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I take pride in being reliable, detail-oriented, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs and routines. Whether it’s feeding, walking, administering care, or providing companionship, I make sure every animal receives the proper attention and affection they deserve. Your pets’ well-being is always my top priority, and I strive to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands. Pet care is a big part of my everyday life and something I truly enjoy. I’ve spent over 10 years caring for family and neighborhood pets, so feeding, walking, and spending quality time with animals has become second nature to me. I love starting my mornings with walks or playtime and making sure every pet I look after feels comfortable and loved throughout the day. Whether it’s drop-in visits, daily walks, or overnight care, I always make time to give each pet the attention they deserve. When caring for pets, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I follow each pet’s regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from their owner. In a client’s home, I treat the space with respect and make sure pets are relaxed in their familiar environment. I spend plenty of time giving them attention, exercise, and affection, so they never feel lonely while you’re away.
“My active mini-husky Baxter enjoyed his time with Victor. Victor was professional, on time and took great care of Baxter. I would definitely book him again.”
“Anna was amazing! Sam loved her since the first minute. She spent 15 days with him, everything was perfect and the apartment cleaner than before. 5 stars, I deeply recommend her!”

Megan is awesome! She was accommodating, flexible, punctual, responsible, and warm. She took great care of my mini poodle and my apartment. She is polite. She followed all my instructions. She stayed in close communication, and sent me great photos while I was away. I will definitely call upon her again. And most importantly, my dog loved Megan!
Liliana is very knowledgeable about cats. I have a new kitten that needs some socialization and boundaries with my older cats and she knew exactly when to intervene and when to let nature take it's course. I came back from a long trip with both cats happy and healthy.
I've used Crystal's services for 2 week-long stays now. Both times, she was a consummate professional. She sent lively updates, communicated any issues promptly and politely, and left my place very clean and neat. Most of all, I think my cat loves her more than me - a great sign for a sitter!
Allie was so kind and wonderful with my senior pup, Mr. Billy. She was very thoughtful, cheerful, and Billy appreciated her energy and engagement right away (nuzzling up with a little tail wag). I would highly recommend Allie as a Rover sitter, especially if you have dogs who require medications or have unique needs/quirks. Billy and I are so very grateful for Ms. Allie!
We could not be happier with Aiyesha! She took such wonderful care of our cat who was recovering from a medical issue, giving him medicine and making sure he was feeling well! We got so many photos and updates, and she left the apartment spotless. Our cat has a new best friend!
Nataly cared for our cat while we were at the hospital for the birth of our child. It was so wonderful to know that our feline family member was being well taken care of by Nataly! We were able to focus on what we needed to during an incredibly special time and not worry at all about Melina. Tysm, Nataly!!!!
It was a pleasure having Kendall watch my 2-year old ball of energy cockapoo. My pup took to her immediately when we did a meet and greet before an evening house sit. She was on time, respectful and even took my pup out for a game of catch! I’ll definitely continue to work with her and recommend her for your pup-sitting needs!
I can’t say enough about the diligence and care that Sam provides for Clyde. He walks him daily and also babysat him for 5 days while I traveled for work (in my home). He connects with Clyde so well. I thank God everyday for his help! What a gem. Thank you, Sam!
I booked a date with Esther and Jay so we could meet each other. I also thought it would give my cat an opportunity to become familiar with them. They arrived exactly on day and time we planned. Esther and Jay are warm and friendly and I found them a joy to have in my home. They asked good questions and I knew they would be wonderful caretakers for my cat. Now if I have to travel, I know my cat and my home will be well looked after.

FAQs for House Sitting - Englewood Cliffs
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Englewood Cliffs on Rover is $73.26 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 18,942 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Englewood Cliffs. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Englewood Cliffs 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 Englewood Cliffs 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 Englewood Cliffs 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

- 97% 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.
