About: I’ve grown up fostering and owning all sort of animals! From bottle feeding puppies to raising abandoned birds, I’ve done it. I’ve been known to bond with animals who have been considered “grumpy” or “solitary”, too. I have experience taking care of a wide range of animals as well and look forward to taking care of yours! My schedule is wide open so fitting pet care in will be my top priority whether you want me to come to you or if you want to leave your pet in my care. I do daily walks and dog park runs with my pup and would be happy to do the same with yours! My home is open concept with plenty of room to play and I have a large couch if that’s more your pets speed. I am highly detail oriented so if I’m visiting your pet at home, I’ll make sure they get exactly the care you’re looking for. You’ll also receive lots of pictures when your pet is in my care!

About: I’ve had experience with animals since I can remember. From having my own family pets growing up, to working in the animal field meeting new pets everyday, to owning my own today! I am very familiar with all ages of animals from newborns to seniors and as have experience in animal behavior. I also have experience with medication, animal handling, newborn care, and senior care! I look forward to helping out future pet families! I work a full time job but have ample time every morning, late afternoon, and early evening to care for your pets! I am always flexible and willing to fit it into my schedule if I am able to. I care for others pets as I would my own. My pets mean everything to me and I know how stressful and nerve wracking it can be to have to leave them in the hands of another person.

About: My 7+ years of experience began with a dedicated focus on providing compassionate care for the pets of my family and friends. This has given me an intimate understanding of the trust required to be a great pet sitter. Provided regular, energetic walks to ensure physical and mental stimulation. Organized park visits for safe socialization and off-leash play in designated areas, Offered comprehensive overnight care, maintaining pets' routines and providing a sense of comfort while their owners were away. As a stay-at-home mom with an 8-month-old, my flexible schedule allows me to dedicate my time and attention to your pet's needs. I am able to provide a constant, watchful presence, ensuring your pet feels safe and comfortable throughout the day. I have pets of my own, so I understand firsthand the importance of finding a caregiver who will treat your furry family member with the same love and care you do. Please know that having my child with me will not hinder my ability to provide your pet with all the care and attention they need. My primary focus is on your pet. My day is structured around their feeding schedule, walk times, and playtime. My baby is in a carrier or stroller during walks, allowing me to fully focus on your pet's safety and well-being. During feeding and playtime, I use a playpen or a secure area to ensure my baby is safe and my hands are free to give your pet my undivided attention. To ensure both your pet's and my child's safety, I can ensure they have separate spaces. My child will be in a secure playpen, stroller, or carrier in a designated area of the home while your pet and I are playing, feeding, or training.

About: I grew up surrounded by animals and have cared for dogs, cats, and even bunnies throughout my life. I worked with dogs with all types of personalities at a dog daycare. I played with them, fed them and cleaned their kennels. I volunteered with guide-dog organizations, helping socialize puppies in training, and I’ve looked after pets of all ages and needs. I also cared for my own senior dog when she had cancer, giving her daily medicine and making sure she felt comfortable and loved. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I care for every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine. I’m very flexible and make time each day for check-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention they need. I plan my schedule around my visits so each pet gets consistent, reliable care. I always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by following their normal routines and any instructions you provide. I take care to keep doors secure, clean up after them, and monitor their behavior closely. I treat every home with respect and every pet with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I give my own.

About: Hi! I have grown up with pets my whole life. I have cared for labs and dachshunds to birds and hamster so I am well versed in interaction and first aid. I can also care for reptiles, amphibians and insects/bugs as I have proper training in labs and rehab centers. I am currently going to school for zoology and black world studies and have worked two years as a zoology and lab tech assistant. So you can be assured you animal is in good care. I am versed in behavioral activites, nutrition, training, and age grouped interactions between animals and humans as well as many of the signs for common sicknesses and fatigues within breeds. I love being outdoors and playing games in order to give the animals the ability to express their energy in an appropriate manner. You animal will be in great hands. I also make usually make pet friendly treats if I have advanced notice! I am currently self employed so my schedule works around me. Animal care always comes first, after all a steady schedule makes for a happy pet I have two small dogs one is a baby one is an old man but they get along great and play like puppies. They are friendly and would love to keep your fur baby company. However, if your dog is not up for company for any reason there is a nice sized crate in which the animals that reside here or your own (which ever you are more comfortable with) can reside it. I love to play, study mannerisms and behaviors, I like toys that make their brains work so they feel fulfilled and tired after a good session of play. Walks, breaks and water are a good way to bond and pass the time. Cuddle bugs are always welcome as well. Nail trimming and grooming available if needed.

About: I have loved animals since I was a small pea. Additionally, I’m in school to become a Veterinarian! I have experience with a variety of animals! I’ve had my own sugar gliders, as well as a python! I’ve taken care of a parrot and a Rosie-cheek bird! At home, we have 2 dogs and 1 cat. I would say I am the primary caretaker of them, I wash them, feed them, clip their nails, and deal with ear infections! The kinds of dogs I’ve had experience with are but not limited to: Golden doodles, tea cup yorkies, chihuahuas, Shih Tzu, pit bulls, huskies, etc. I am able to adjust to your fur babies personality! Whether they are a more mellow and chill type, or hyperactive and love to play! And of course, anything I might find concerning I would be reporting to you! I assure you that your pet is in probably the best care that it could be in! I’m currently working a part-time job and I’m a college student [but on summer break]! My schedule just depends on what days and time I work at my other job! But I love animals so much that I guarantee I will find a way to be with your fur baby! I am more than willing to take dogs or cats on a walk, as I am a very active person! I also enjoy little car rides with them or going to dog parks! The way I care for your pet is primarily determined by what you have for them and their environment! If any doggies or cats are brought to my house then they would get to meet my own doggies and I have a very very spacious backyard! However it is not fenced in!

Candace did a great job taking care of my little Dolly! You can tell right away how much she loves dogs and she was great about popping in to check on her, walk her and feed her, per the work request. She sent photos and updates from each visit and we know she got great care. I would highly recommend Candace for your pet-sitting needs and I know I will hire her again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Claremont on Rover is $17.76 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 1,525 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Claremont. 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 Claremont 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 Claremont 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 Claremont 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 Claremont. On Rover:

  • 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
