“Stacy was awesome and very caring! The first time my kitty met her she immediately went up to her which is unusual, since my kitty is very standoffish at first. This made me feel comfortable! Stacy was also super nice and a great communicator. I will definitely be booking with her again! Thank you again Stacy!!!”
About: I have been an animal lover my whole life and will give your fur baby the same love, care and affection they would get if you were caring for them. I have had experience watching cats and dogs of all sizes for the past 5 years. I absolutely love walking and getting outside and will ensure your dog gets the fun and exercise they need to stay happy and healthy. Or, if your dog or cat isn’t the aerobic type, I will be happy to supply them with all the love and cuddles they could possibly desire. Spending time with animals is one of my favorite things, and I am so excited for the opportunity to get to care for your fur baby. I am currently a full time college student which gives me flexible hours and availability during the work day to give your furry friend the full attention they deserve on walks or drop in visits. I’m a very organized person and will ensure your home stays just as clean and cared for as your fur baby. However you like your pet to be cared for, I am happy to fill their needs! Whether that be fetch in the backyard, walks outside, playing in the house, hanging out on the couch with me (if allowed) or putting them into their crate at the end of the day, I’m happy to care for your pet however they need while keeping your home just as you like it.
“Stacie is the best! This was our first night away from our pup and we knew he was in great hands. She gives great updates and sent a ton of pictures and we know Huck loved his time with her.”
“Jessica was AMAZING!!! She came with such short notice and really gave me so much relief while I was away from home and had another pet sitter cancel:( So beyond grateful for her !”
About: We were lucky to have two amazing dogs for 15 and 16 years, caring for them from playful puppyhood all the way through their senior years—including supporting one through cancer. They’ve since passed, and we truly miss having that love and energy in our home. Because of our experience, we’re comfortable and equipped to care for dogs at every stage of life. More than anything, we understand how much your pups mean to you, and we’ll give them the same love, attention, and care we gave our own. I work from home full time, so I have plenty of flexibility for walks, playtime, and snuggles throughout the day. Most weekends we spend time at home playing in our fenced in backyard. At my home, pets enjoy a safe, comfortable environment with a fenced-in backyard for play and potty breaks. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, and any special instructions. Crates are available if needed, and I make sure pups get plenty of love, attention, and snuggle time. When visiting a client’s home, I respect your space and follow your pet’s usual schedule to keep them comfortable. I handle feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions so your dog feels safe and loved in their own environment.
“Ryan is great with our dog Wylder. He drops in over the weekend and takes him for walks/potty breaks. He sends photos of him playing and info on what they did. Wylder definitely seems happier and calmer since Ryan has been dropping in.”
“Maya was great! She was very responsive when booking, and took great care of my cat during daily check-ins. She made sure she had food, water, a clean litter box and was played with. She even took her on a few walks around my courtyard! She sent photos every day as well. I definitely recommend Maya to anyone!”
“Morgan was the perfect pet sitter- our cat was better than when we left him! She truly cares for the pets and is extremely responsive/ communicative! Will definitely use Morgan again!”
“Eryn is fantastic! She takes care of our nearly 18 year old senior dog, and she’s very caring and gentle with him. We’ve used Eryn countless time/ and will certainly continue to do so!”
“Great job again!!! My cat was very happy when I got back from my trip. Joyce did a great job keeping in contact as needed. If you get the opportunity, please use her for your pet sitting needs.”
About: I’ve had my pitty for roughly two years and have had to deal with training, medicinal application, behavioral management and hardcore cuddling. I also have experience dealing with smaller dogs as well and tailoring my care to suit their needs as well. I work in the food service industry so my schedule can be a bit sporadic but I have taken care of my dog for two years without incident and it’s been great! I can be as flexible as you need me to be. Frequent walks and playtime. Your buddy will get the attention they deserve! I currently do not offer services in my home because my dog does not get along with intact dogs and my apartment is small.

“Anna was amazing! Our dog Midnight Star loved her so much, that the first day we were back, he ran to the front door promptly at six and sat there looking out the window, waiting for her. Anna sent us pictures, detailed info about the visit, and a map of their walk after every single visit, so we never worried about whether he was well taken care of. I would highly recommend Anna for walks, home visits, or any other needs you have for your pet.”
About: Experienced with dogs through personal care, a doggy daycare role, and pet sitting. Reliable, attentive, and committed to providing safe, loving care for every pet. I'm currently working part time, so I will have ample amount time to play with your best friend. I am available during the weekends and most days during the week! My apartment is pet friendly and there is a lovely park near me to for your best friend to roam around and play and have loads of fun.
About: I’ve owned and raised around 6 cats throughout my life. About 3 dogs and almost all of them were rescue pets. I’ve indulged in both dog and house sitting, most of which were overnight jobs. I’ve tended to malnourished puppies where I’ve nursed them back to perfect health. All around most of my experiences were personal, such as growing up with pets but by the time I was a teenager, I indulged in house sitting, dog walking, etc. The most pets I’d say, I’ve taken care of all at once would be around 5 or 6. I’ve cared for a few reptile pets such as turtles and snakes but it has mostly been cats and dogs. For the first time in my adult life, I have my own beautiful pup. Thank you I’m looking for some real work in this field, so let me know if anyone needs someone recurring. I have reliable transportation and am mostly available. I live on a pier, in a floating home, so if you aren’t comfortable with that, we may consider sitting instead of boarding. It’s a nice, calm environment for all. I’m not picky so if the pet wants to sleep in the bed that’s fine by me!
“Tory was wonderful! So pleasant, communicated well, and our cats loved her! One of our cats usually hides when a sitter comes over, but she was all over Tory -- very good stamp of approval.”
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Clarkston is $20

We were pleasantly surprised to see our Barley so relaxed and himself when we arrived back home after the visit. We knew Jennifer and he would be great together since Jennifer has such a peaceful and attentive nature. We received wonderful photos of him looking happy and calm. Love them! Thank you, Jennifer, for taking such good care of Barley and allowing us to get out of the house for a bit without the worry. We appreciate your time and looking forward to the next visit very soon!
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! 🐾
I hate to brag on her because that books her calendar and makes reservations tight. However, there is no way to say anything contradictory. Sarah has become part of our family. I totally trust her with my fur babies. I think my cat loves her more than me sometimes. And she is very attentive to any changes. Like this visit she knew something was up when my dog didn’t eat the last day. She notified me and made an extra visit to come to check her condition. She is proactive when anything is abnormal. Not only does she notify me but offers suggestion on what to do. My babies are seniors like me now and she adjust their activity as needed. I could write a book on how wonderful, loving & caring Sarah has and continues to be. I am so glad Sarah came into our lives. My fur babies say 5 stars are not enough. They see her as a special Aunt that has always been there for them, loves on them and makes them happy. Oh the eating problem turned out that my dog was missing me. Since I retired we are together all the time. Once I brought my suitcase inside she ate all her food. Nice to know that my dog loves me that much and not just Sarah ❤️
Faith is amazing with our two boys (13YO Shiba Inu and 8YO GSD/hound mix)! Especially the Shiba, who can be a little stubborn. But for her, he’s his best self, and even lets her brush out his coat! Faith is our go-to and makes leaving our pups home so much easier on us, as we don’t need to worry about their health, safety, or happiness!
Again Ms. Cat did an amazing job with my 2 babies. She is very attentive with them and knows each of their personalities really well. The biggest struggle for me is ensuring that my older dog, Walker, could get his medication. We talking through his needs each day, twice a day and she had no issues administering his eye drops. When I arrived home they were both comfortable and not stressed as I have experienced with other sitters.
Can’t say enough good things about Meredith! She is super reliable and communicative and just does such a great job with my 2 cats and bulldog. Wish I could give her another star for crawling through one of my windows to get in my house when the door was jammed. I can always count on her!!
We’ve used Elisabeth in the past and we had such a great experience we used her three times this week! My wife went out of town and I needed help making sure my two dogs got a midday potty break and play time. When I reached out to Elisabeth to see if she could help, she answered me kindly and quickly! Each of the three days Elisabeth was on time, provided me with thorough updates and sent lots of good pictures. She was very sweet with our dogs! Elisabeth is great!

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 Clarkston 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 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 .

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 Clarkston with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
