“Brionna was wonderful and took amazing care of our baby! She is extremely sweet and sent us pics of him while we were away. She also communicated regularly via text and asked any questions she had that I could help clarify. We and our dog are thankful to her for such good care and we look forward to having her take care of him again in the future!”
“Megan was great with Louie! She was punctual, followed his schedule, sent a photo update, and played with him regularly. I came home to a very happy puppy. I will definitely be booking with her again.”
About: I can't remember a time when I did not have a pet in my life. Probably because there never was such a time! Mostly dogs, but, I have also been a proud cat owner. I have cared for friends' pets, and I understand that leaving your fur baby with someone requires trust. For several decades, I have chosen to adopt my animals from shelters. I can tell you that it has taught me to appreciate that every animal is different, with their own personality, quirks, routines, and needs. Our pets are part of our family. And, yes, they make mistakes at times, create messes, get into places they shouldn't. They're only human, after all! I promise to bring the same patience, care, and affection I show to my animals into every interaction I have with yours. I am available to walk your dog(s) and will be sure to take then on walks as long or short as you recommend, up to 40 minutes. I can stay and play with your pet for a while, as well. I will work within your guidelines and your pet's routine. I am also available for short overnight stays in your house. I am available for walking, playing, feeding, whatever you need. I will come to your home and am available for short overnight stays, if needed. Overnight stays will fall between 8:00 PM and 8:00 AM. I am available weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I will work within your boundaries. You know your pet best, so tell me what they need, whether that's a long walk, extra water after play, specific treats at specific times, or simply making sure they’re comfortable in their crate or free to roam. You tell me what works for your pet, and I’ll follow their routine. They’re your family, and I’m here to help. Please note, short-term overnight stays are available between 8:00 PM - 8:00 AM.
“Cecilia was so awesome! She was attentive and diligent with all the care instructions. She sent updates with pics each day and my cat clearly loved her. I came home to an extremely clean and tidy home and a very happy kitty. Highly recommend Cecilia to care for your pets!”
“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.”
“First time leaving our dog with anyone other than us and glad we found/felt comfortable leaving him with Jackson! Appreciated updates throughout the night and his attention to detail. will be sure to keep him in mind for future.”
“Iris took a VERY good care of my pup!! She was constantly sending me photographs and videos of Koala every day without asking, which shows her responsibility and dedication to dog sitting. Koala always looked happy on videos and I could see Koala is in a very good mood and overall state, when I came back. I am sure they had a connection:) I am more than happy I chose Iris as a nanny. Definitely going to contact her again in the future!:)”
“Elliyah rose to every challenge my dog presented her and was super communicative along the way. You can tell she loves all animals and is a wonderful, trustworthy person. Thank you Elliyah, so much!”
About: Hi, I’m Zoe! I’m from California and I like reading, swimming, and animals. I’ve had pets of every shape and size as long as I can remember. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, horses, fish, snakes, lizards, frogs, river otters, and rodents. I’m very responsible, calm, and communicative. I work full time so evenings and weekend are best for me. Let me know what you need and I’ll see what I can do! I’m sensitive and receptive to each animal’s unique needs. My home is very clean and safe and I am also a very neat and detail-oriented person.
“Kevin is a fantastic sitter! Great communication and he took great care of our four dogs and our home while we were away overnight. We look forward to working with him again.”
About: I’ve had the joy of being around dogs for as long as I can remember, growing up with both small and large breeds since I was a little girl. Caring for them is a lifelong passion for me. I love not only spending time with dogs but also training them, learning about their unique personalities, and making sure they feel happy, healthy, and understood. My goal as a sitter is to give each dog the same level of love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is thriving while you’re away. As a freelance artist, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to tailor my day around the needs of the pets I care for. My work in the arts gives me the freedom to be present for regular walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. Because I can easily adjust my routine, I’m able to give each pet consistent attention and love. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my own home or in a client’s home, safety and trust are always my top priorities. I make sure pets are in a secure environment that they are free from hazards, with access to fresh water, comfortable resting areas, and plenty of safe play space. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, from feeding routines to exercise schedules, and keep a watchful eye on the pet’s behavior and well-being. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and ensure it’s kept tidy and secure. My goal is to provide both the pet and their owner with peace of mind, knowing they’re in a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment.
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes through my own pets and by helping friends, family, and neighbors. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to make each one feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s going on walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic medications, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I also send photo updates after every visit because I know how reassuring it is for pet parents to see their furry family member happy and well cared for. From energetic puppies to shy or senior dogs, I’m patient, attentive, and committed to following each owner’s instructions to ensure their pet receives the highest quality care. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule, allowing me to dedicate quality time and attention to every visit. I do my best to be flexible and accommodate each pet owner’s needs whenever possible. Whether your dog needs a walk, drop-in visit, or extra playtime, I’m committed to being dependable, punctual, and making sure your pet gets the care and attention they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and routines to help pets feel secure and maintain consistency. I pay close attention during walks, use secure leashes and harnesses, and always keep a clean, calm environment. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, so I strive to provide dependable care, clear communication, and regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Marco went above and beyond to care for our senior dog! Our pup is a bit particular and he doesn’t cuddle newcomers often. However Rocket warmed up to Marco and even slept with him! Plus Marco took wonderful care of our home. We’ll book him again in a heartbeat.”
“Savanna and Maddy took amazing care of our shy cat. We got updates daily with pictures and a summary on how she was doing, and it was very evident that Savanna was extremely knowledgable about cats and was treating ours with both love and respect. We came back to a clean home and a happy cat, and are planning to book with them again. I would 100% recommend these ladies to anyone looking for a sitter who has buckets of love to give and the knowledge to back it up.”
About: I’ve cared for lot of different dogs from anxious dogs, to the happy high spirited ones. In most cases I’ve found dogs away from home just need a little more attention & a little more patience. I like to set up their routine per owner instructions of course, and keep there life like business as usually if not better. Since I’m on a work from home Flexible schedule, I can dedicate a lot more time to tend to their needs through each day. I have very structured, and tend to be an early riser. I like to run or workout in the morning so typically would bring the dog with me to the park In the am with walks through out the day as I tend to run most errands walking distance. Etc All I ask is your informed me of any allergies, health or non health related problems so I can prepare for their stay. Communication is key.
“Richard was fantastic. He wasn’t available for our full trip, but immediately offered to pair up with his girlfriend to cover the full time if we were okay with that while also being clear that he’d understand if we weren’t. They both came over to meet us and our super-senior cat, Mad Eye, ahead of time and were very communicative while we were gone, sending lots of pictures and updates on her eating and medication. They were also very helpful and accommodating when we had an unexpected change in travel plans last minute and very respectful of our space. We’d absolutely use either or both of them again!”
““We couldn’t be happier with the care Anita provided for our precious Douglas over three days! From the moment we met her, it was clear she has a genuine love for animals. She made sure Douglas was not only well-fed and walked but also showered with attention and affection. Anita kept us updated with pictures and little notes about his day, which gave us so much peace of mind. When we came home, Douglas was relaxed, happy, and even a little spoiled (in the best way!). Anita went above and beyond, and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog sitter. We will definitely book her again in the future!””
“We have had excellent dog sitting experiences with Yvette! My special needs dog enjoyed her company and it is a tremendous relief to me to have Yvette’s help in managing the care of my dog Angel so I may tend to my own care! I Highly Recommend Yvette! Yvette is timely, kind, provides great communication and a is true animal loving person! Thank you very much from both me and my dog!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Englewood Cliffs
Julien was a great in house sitter for both of my cats. I was going on a two week international cruise and was very nervous about leaving my cats for that long. Julien came and was an immediate fit, warm and engaged. During my trip, she was proactive in sending updates and responsive to any questions/messages I sent. Coming back, my cats where in wonderful condition, so fluffy and happy. She even went above and beyond, maintaining the cleanliness of the home. I would greatly recommend Julien for anyone looking for a great sitter.
Megan was absolutely phenomenal. Her and our boy got along wonderfully. She had excellent communication, sent us images after each message, and would reach out without needing our initiation. No issues at all and left our home in perfect condition. Our boy was so well taken care of, would absolutely recommend and cannot wait to use her again in the future!
Thanks to Anupa for taking such great care of our Stella! She shared wonderful photos with us during the afternoon. And she was honest with us about some concerns she had with our dog’s behavior and particular needs which made us feel grateful that we can address those issues together as team. Thanks again Anupa!
Eva is a fantastic cat sitter! She was very patient and gentle with my shy kitty, so much so that my cat warmed to her very quickly and became quite affectionate. Eva provided updates throughout the weekend and was on-top of the litter and cleaning the bowls. Would recommend her in a heartbeat!
We had a great experience with Sierra. We could tell that she took great care of Yoda while we were gone and also accommodated his fear of rain over a very rainy weekend. She respected our space and left our home very clean. We have already booked her for our upcoming travels and will continue to do so.
Cheyenne was absolutely wonderful with our dog! She was incredibly patient, kind, and attentive, and we felt so comfortable knowing he was in her care. He can be a bit of a handful at times, and Cheyenne handled everything with so much patience and understanding. We are so happy we found her and truly grateful for the care she gave him. We would absolutely book with Cheyenne again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, dependable, and caring sitter. Thank you so much, Cheyenne!

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 , 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 .
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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
