“Adeib was a great dog sitter! He stayed in my apartment and cared for my dog very well, following all instructions and communicating all throughout the stay. He welcomed my overly detailed instructions and sent pictures to updated me. I felt so confident that my dog was well cared for and would absolutely book him again!”
“I would highly recommend Asel as a pet sitter. She is considerate, responsible, reliable and wonderful with animals. Asel stayed in our home for 11 nights and took care of our dog and cat. Our cat is very easy, but our dog is a fairly new rescue who is a scared dog and often does not want to go outside for walks. Asel was very patient and bonded very quickly with both animals. She sent us pictures and updates every day during our trip. We came home to 2 very happy animals and our home was just as we left it!”
“It was the first time for my dog to be sitted with someone he didn”t know. That brought me anxiety but Brionna in the meet and greet gave me enough confidence to hire her. Although Pelusa played hard to get the first day, they bonded very well as days passed by. I will definitely trust Brionna again to sit for Pelusa.”
“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.”
“I highly recommend Monique! She took care of Rose for a week and gave me regular updates of their walks and cuddles on the couch as well as sent pictures regularly.”
“Michele was quick to respond to any of our texts while she was taking care of our two cats, and sent us pictures daily. She was so kind as to come two days early to stay with one of our cats who was having some health issues. She paid extra attention to one of our cats who has health/behavioral issues and notified us of any issues the cats were having. We felt comfortable leaving them in her care and would definitely hire her again!”
“Arin was the best!! Trooper was so happy and calm after her caring for him and she truly is an animal lover. She was responsible, responsive, and is a genuinely good nice person. I highly recommend her and can’t wait to use her when I have to go away again!”
“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.”
“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.”
About: Dog owners will be especially satisfied with the services I provide because I have skillfully and diligently learned how to understand and absolutely adore dogs. My experience comes from years freelance dog walking (and when I could I'd sit) for neighbors and teachers I went to high school with. I was taught by my teachers even outside of school about dogs and how to be a dog person. They even helped me with training my own. I have owed and cared for American Pit Bulls(owned), Chow Chows, Yorkshire Terriers, Shih Tzuz, Maltese Pups(Owned), Golden Retrievers and Bolognoses. My pet care services include Walking, (which I love most in this season when physical play is at its high for me.) Drop ins, Training and Grooming(for an additional fee). I have took Dog Obidience Classes at Petco in the Bronx NY 2012 and 2015 which was recommend by one of my clients I worked with back in 2012. I watch tons of educational videos about the psychology of dogs on my free time and I am actively always searching for ways to enhance my skills in dealing with dogs and cats alike. I am very responsible and have worked with many high profile professionals who have have been in need of a reliable person to act as an assistant. (Via TaskRabbit) From first meeting my clients, they will naturally sense my honest and loyal personality. (Just like a puppy :) - you pups best friend
“Alicia did a great job watching Ernie for the day. She communicated well beforehand, took pictures and updated me on how he did, and left the apartment the same as when we left. I definitely recommend her and would use her again!”

I have experience caring for dogs and puppies through helping family members with their pets, including feeding, walking, playtime, and providing loving, reliable care to keep pets safe, happy, comfortable, and well cared for.” I follow a daily schedule to care for my cats, including feeding them in the morning and evening, cleaning litter boxes regularly, providing fresh water, and spending time playing and bonding with them throughout the day. I provide a safe, trustworthy, and comfortable environment for pets by following their routine closely, ensuring their space is clean and secure, giving them fresh food and water, and offering gentle, attentive care and companionship.
“This was my first time using Rover, as I typically leave Blaze with friends or family members and I must say Jorge was amazing. He arrived early during the meet and greet and the day of the booked service. According to his previous reviews this must be a consistent thing. During the meet and greet, Blaze took to Jorge immediately. This shocked me because my dog has a lot of personality along with the tendency to ignore people; therefore, I knew this was going to be a good match. While I was there, all Blaze wanted to do was play and jump all over Jorge. I assume they must of had a good time because by the time I got back, Blaze was exhausted.”
“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!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Englewood Cliffs
Alexandria was amazing taking care of our two kitties and very anxious pup for the weekend. She was very accommodating and gentle with the pup and followed all the directions I gave her and then some! She even stayed a bit longer to give our pup dinner when we were held up on the way home from our trip. You can tell she is very experienced and good at dealing with animals with all sorts of temperaments, from anxious to outgoing. Would definitely recommend her services!
Liliana was great with Bruno! She took him on many walks through out the day and already had experience administering his seizure meds, which made me feel at ease while I was gone. He was a very happy pup when I returned from my trip. Will definitely be using her services again! Thank you!!
Reese is an exceptional sitter - we feel lucky to have found her in a last minute situation. She was wonderful with both our dogs, a very independent thinking Shiba-mix and an energetic terrier mix pup. She gave them excellent walks and attention as well as attending to their different nutritional needs. I also highly recommend her in a house sitting situation as she left the house spotless! Overall Reese is professional and dependable, very communicative and flexible.
Amanda was excellent with our baby girl, Fig! At only 6 months old, our pup is surely a handful but she was in great hands with Amanda! She sent updates and pictures throughout the stay and kept Fig on her usual schedule. Hope to book her again- highly recommend!
Leila is absolutely amazing! She took care of my two dogs and cat for seven days and didn’t break a sweat! She followed instructions to a T! My pets absolutely love her! Leila is responsible, caring and just an amazing person! Her positive energy and smile are infectious!!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Englewood Cliffs on Rover is $59.94 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 19,045 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.
