About: 🐾What sets me apart is my professional veterinary experience and genuine love for animals. I’ve been a veterinary technician for 3 years and have a bachelor’s degree in biology , giving me a strong understanding of animal health, behavior, and safety. I’m trained to recognize early signs of illness, safely handle pets in stressful situations, and administer oral and topical medications 💊. I have experience caring for puppies, kittens, senior pets, and exotic animals , and I’m dedicated to keeping every pet’s routine as consistent and stress free as possible . Whether it’s feeding , walks , playtime , medication , or plenty of cuddles 🥰, I give every pet the same love, patience, and attention I would my own. I’m also available to travel for pet sitting , allowing your pet to stay comfortable in their familiar environment while you’re away. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care, giving you peace of mind knowing your furry, feathered, or scaly family member is in experienced and loving hands. 🐾 Requested Information About Your Pet 🐾 To provide the safest and best care possible, I like to learn about every pet before their stay! Here are a few questions I typically ask: • How many pets will I be caring for? • What is your pet’s personality and temperament? • How do you correct unwanted behaviors? • How do you reward good behavior? • Does your pet have any medical conditions, allergies, or medications? • What is their daily routine (feeding, potty breaks, walks, bedtime)? • Who should I contact in case of an emergency? • Does your pet have any fears or triggers? • Can your pet be left alone? If so, for how long? • Is there anything else you’d like me to know to help your pet feel comfortable and happy? During the Stay ❤️ Every pet receives individualized care based on their personality and energy level. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, tug-of-war, enrichment games, or simply relaxing with cuddles on the couch, I’ll make sure they feel loved and entertained. I enjoy using puzzle toys, sniff games, treat scavenger hunts, and interactive play to provide both mental and physical stimulation. As a veterinary technician with 3 years of experience, I’ll also closely monitor your pet for any changes in behavior or health, ensuring they stay safe, comfortable, and happy throughout their stay. My goal is for your pet to feel like they’re on their own little vacation while you’re away! 🐶🐱💕 Pet care fits really naturally into my routine since I’m already a vet tech and work with animals every day. Taking care of pets outside of work is something I genuinely enjoy, not something I have to squeeze in. I plan my days so I have plenty of time for each pet—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning, or giving medications if needed. I also try to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. During the week, I don’t overbook myself because I want to make sure every pet gets the attention they deserve. I’m also flexible and can travel for pet sitting, so your pet can stay in their own space and feel at ease. Overall, caring for animals is just a regular part of my life, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I tailor my care based on each pet’s needs and your specific routine, whether I’m in your home or hosting in mine. My goal is always to keep your pet comfortable, safe, and as stress-free as possible. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications. I make sure their space stays clean (litter boxes, food areas, etc.) and spend quality time with them so they’re not just being “checked on,” but actually cared for and engaged. I also keep you updated with messages and photos so you know how they’re doing. If I’m caring for pets in my home, I create a calm, safe environment with plenty of supervision and attention. I monitor behavior, eating habits, and overall health closely—something my vet tech experience really helps with—so I can quickly notice if anything seems off. Because of my background, I’m also comfortable administering medications, caring for senior pets, and handling younger pets who may need more patience and structure. No matter the setting, I treat every pet like my own and focus on making them feel secure and well cared for.

About: I am a lover of all pets. I'm a foster and volunteer for Angels Among Us Pet Rescue.  I have been pet sitting for the past 10 years. We have two friendly mix small dogs, 10 and 13 years old. We have a large fenced-in backyard and doggie door that is only open when we are at home. We offer a house where your baby is going to feel comfortable with play time, and love. We also walk them once or twice a day. I will treat your pets like they are my own family. We will offer you daily updates with photos. You will be able to go away knowing your doggie is loved, having fun and is safe. Meet and Greet We do require a meet and greet before taking any bookings. This is just to make sure your dog is happy and comfortable with our dogs, my 2 girls and our home. We only take up to 4 dogs a the time, so that we can offer the love and care that they need :).

About: Animals have always been at the heart of my life. From the time I was a child, I’ve shared my home — and my heart — with dogs and cats of all kinds, and they’ve brought me endless joy, comfort, and companionship. That lifelong love has grown into a deep understanding of their needs, their personalities, and the special bond they share with the people who care for them. As a pet sitter, I treat every animal as if they were my own — with patience, kindness, and lots of affection. I believe animals can sense genuine love, and that’s why they tend to warm up to me quickly and trust me easily. Whether it’s a long walk, a cuddle session, or simply making sure their routine stays the same while you’re away, I approach every task with care and responsibility. For me, pet sitting isn’t just a job — it’s an opportunity to make your furry family members feel safe, happy, and loved until you’re back home. I drive for Lyft and I can stop and walk the pets every couple of hours. I like the freedom to do the things I want to do during the day. I have a fenced in yard and feed our dog morning and night; I’m a very responsible dog owner. My wife is a retired veterinary technician and she’s always there if I have questions.

About: I've lived with dogs all my life (Chihuahuas, Beagles, German Shepards, and more), and I've come to really love cats in adulthood. I started professionally pet-sitting at 15 years old. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, and I've seen it all when it comes to pet health needs (I'm a pro at eye drops and oral meds). I know what it's like to worry for your pets while you're away, especially when they have special needs. That's why I make sure all my pet parents are updated consistently and can rest assured their pets are in good hands. :) I recently got back from a few months of traveling in New Zealand, where I got to care for some really sweet pets in between my adventures. Now I’m settling back in and job hunting in Atlanta, which means I have all the time in the world for your fur babies! I'm inside the perimeter and am happy to drive anywhere in Atlanta to stay with your pet or pop-in as many times as you need. I’m gentle with pets, highly communicative with parents, and ready to take on anything your pet needs while you’re away.

About: I grew up with a Doberman (Raven) and a Shih-Tzu (Salem) who I loved dearly. Now, I have a cat named Harvest who I adopted in early 2025. I volunteer with Lifeline’s “Dog for the Day” program periodically where I take a dog from the shelter to Piedmont Park for 3-4 hours. Joy, the white dog in one of my cover photos, was my first dog for the day. I am available Mon until 3pm and all day Fri for drop-in visits and dog walking. I can also house sit Fri-Sun, beginning Fri evening and leaving Sun evening. I live in a quiet one-bedroom apartment with my cat, Harvest. I'm often reading or sitting out on my balcony enjoying the peace.

About: Throughout middle & high school, I have volunteered at my local animal shelter and I loved walking and feeding the dogs! While I’ve only ever had cats, I have pet-sitted dogs for my friends and family on overnights and gone on many walks. I’m currently a full-time grad student but with a fixed class schedule. I am currently fully available on weekends and most evenings on weekdays. I do not offer boarding in my apartment as it is against my building policy, but as for pet-sitting in your home, I am always very respectful and communicative.

Benjamin was absolutely wonderful with Blu and Puddin! From the very first message he was communicative, professional, and genuinely caring. It's not easy finding someone you can trust with a high-energy Husky AND a 13-year-old teacup Yorkie, but Ben handled both of them with ease. He followed all of our care instructions perfectly and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Puddin can be a delicate little lady and Blu keeps you on your toes, but Ben took it all in stride. We came home to two happy, well cared for pups and that says everything. We will definitely be booking with Ben again; highly recommend! 🐾

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Clarkston

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Clarkston is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $28 per visit. 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 7,219 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Clarkston. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 Clarkston 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 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.

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 Clarkston 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 Clarkston. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 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.
