“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!”
“Adeib is and continues to be a great sitter for my puppy Norman, who gets so excited to see him whenever he sits. He sends updates throughout so I know he’s in good hands, and I come home to a very happy puppy!”
“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!”
“Iris was great with our pup. She was always timely and had our dog smiling ear to ear whenever with her. We hired her many times and would highly recommend her for house sitting.”
“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.”
About: I worked in a Doggy Daycare/Sitting Business called Bark & Purr, so I already have experience taking care and training many different dogs and cats. I am currently doing a side hustle job in landscaping! But the hours are very flexible, so I am free nonstop, especially during the afternoon - evenings. I have two huge parks and a fenced dog park to bring your fur baby to! The apartment is very spacious and dog friendly so you don't have to worry about your dog feeling stressed and claustrophobic.
“Lauren did a wonderful job taking care of Atlas and house sitting while I was away! Excellent communication, great updates, fun, sweet--just fantastic all around. Thank you so much again Lauren! I'll definitely request your services again in the future!!”
“Drew was amazing with our very geriatric senior dog! He was so attentive to him that he made his days very comfortable and fun. He provides us updates as to his overall eating routines and his wellbeing. Drew is also very diligent with how he takes high consideration of our dog's needs. We highly recommend him. Thank you, Drew!”
“Ham was scared and anxious at first because she’s got a lot of trauma and is not great with change but she settled in and was so happy by the end of her time with Diana. Diana is amazing and was so loving and patient with Ham. She sent daily pics and updates and made Ham feel so secure. Thank you, Diana! Ham is excited to stay with you 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.”
“We are happy and satisfied with the three days that Keka has been house-sitting our pawlove Hazel. Sure they had quality time playing around the house and outside during their walk. On top of that she got to provide Hazel with some Training that she needed. We appreciate so much the time she spent with our Hazel. We will surely recommend her to our other paw parent friends and surely it won't be the last for Keka & Hazel.”
“Anita was PHENOMENAL. She was recommended to us through my sister who also consistently uses Anita for her own dogs. She was incredibly attentive to our dog and was in frequent communication with us throughout our trip, providing videos, pictures, and updates. I think Figo was more excited to see her than us when we returned home! We will 100% be using her again!”
“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!”
About: Hi! I’m Lizbeth, a lifelong animal lover and proud cat mom to my sweet girl, Minnie. I’ve also volunteered with several animal shelters, so I have experience caring for animals with all kinds of personalities—from the super social and playful to the shy ones who need a little extra patience and space. I live alone with Minnie, who is friendly, so I’m happy to offer boarding in my home in addition to pet sitting, walks, and drop-ins. Since it’s just the two of us, your pet will get plenty of attention and won’t be in an overwhelming or crowded environment. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, litter box cleaning, playtime, and following whatever routine your pet is used to. I know how nerve-racking it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I’m also more than happy to send lots of pictures and updates while you’re away! I graduated from NYU in 2024 and currently work in HR in Manhattan. I’m mainly available during evenings and weekends and would love to spend some of my free time hanging out with your furry family members. 🐾 I work Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM–5:30 PM on a hybrid schedule. On weekdays, I’m generally available for pet care after 6:30 PM, and I have much more flexibility on the days I work from home. I’m also available on weekends and can accommodate morning, daytime, and evening care. For boarding, I’m happy to coordinate around my work schedule and your pet’s usual routine. I live alone with my friendly cat, Minnie, so your pet will have a calm home environment with plenty of attention when I’m home. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your pet. I always follow each pet’s normal routine and any instructions provided by their owner, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box care, and any house rules. For pets staying in my home, I live alone with my friendly cat, Minnie, in a calm and comfortable environment. I would always make sure a visiting pet is comfortable around another cat before boarding and introduce them carefully rather than forcing interactions. I’m also mindful of doors, windows, food, and anything else that could pose a safety risk. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of both their pet and their space. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention while you’re away.
“Jose was absolutely incredible. Appreciated all of the updates/photos/videos, and he gave me complete peace of mind. Would 100% recommend, and will definitely be booking him again :)”
“Yvette you put my mind at ease leaving my dogs for two weeks. I cannot Thank You enough for your kindness, pictures, and updates. I would recommend your services to anyone. Thanks again .”
“Oh my goodness! I cannot say anything better about Marco! He not only took amazing care our 3 dogs. He sent pictures, videos and kept us updated. Not only that, he respected our home, and went above and beyond with taking care of linens and laundry. He is amazing!”

Aiyesha was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of my cat, Mishkaw, while I was out of the country, and I came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat and a spotless apartment. She went above and beyond by stripping the sheets, cleaning up before leaving, and even leaving me little matcha KitKat treats with a thoughtful thank-you note. Such a sweet and unexpected gesture! Aiyesha is kind, considerate, and incredibly thoughtful. It gave me great peace of mind knowing Mishkaw was in such good hands. I would absolutely recommend her and would happily have her stay again. Thank you, Aiyesha!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Englewood Cliffs is $61 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $83 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 19,077 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

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.
