“Meghan was amazing with Smokie, even though he did not come out to play with her, I was still able to monitor him throughout the day. I definitely feel comfortable rebooking with Meghan.”
About: I grew up with dogs and a cat in a loving home and absolutely love animals! I've also dog sat for close family and friends throughout my life. My soul kitty just passed away recently and I'm looking to fill my time with love, care, and cuddles from our furry family members we love so much. I know what it's like to care for, show love and interest, play and meet their needs where they're at. I may be new to pet sitting with Rover, but I am not new to caring for and loving animals. I've used Rover for pet sitters to care for my cat when she was with me, and am familiar with this platform and the needs/concerns of being a pet parent. I promise to care for your pets just as I did for my kitty. I work in the office Monday-Wednesdays, but work from home Thursdays-Fridays. I have more daytime flexibility for drop ins on Thur/Fri. Otherwise happy to do drops ins outside of working hours in the beginning of the week. While I live in a condo, there is plenty of space to take dogs out for a walk, potty, etc. I live in a quiet complex and have a nice little nature path between our buildings. I can also easily to take them to dog parks that are close by (on leash of course, I wouldn't take them off leash as they are not my own-for everyone's safety). If staying at your home-I am respectful and will follow all instructions to the t.
About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. Now, as a dog mom myself, I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pup when you can’t be there. I work in the medical field, so I’m very attentive, dependable, and comfortable following specific instructions and routines. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention. I also understand that every dog has their own personality, and I’m comfortable giving shy or more cautious dogs the time and patience they need to warm up. I’ll care for your pup the same way I’d want someone to care for mine and will always send pictures and updates so you know how they’re doing. I typically work about three days a week, which gives me flexibility on my days off for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I’ll also have much more open availability from late November through mid-January. I’ll care for your pets in their own home where they’re most comfortable and stick closely to their normal routine. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care needs. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you know how they’re doing while you’re away.
“Jennifer saved the day when our regular dog walker went on vacation. She met with us first to better understand Ali's history. We appreciated that greatly, plus her follow through after each visit was helpful. She also helped us care for our kitty, Whisker, while we were away during the same period. All our pets were content and happy when we returned home. We would highly recommend Jennifer.”
About: Hi, my name is Brittany and I love animals. (I'm sure everyone here says that.) I have been volunteering at various shelters for years, as well as fostering dogs and house sitting for dogs, cats, and chickens. I am trustworthy (I have client references if needed) and I take great care to make sure every pet feels love like they should. :) I do request dogs to be house trained. I can offer a nice walk on sidewalks or the trail, or just throwing a ball inside, if your pet is anything like mine was. I’m working from home so there will be a lot of one-on-one time. I’m that someone to water your plants and get your mail while you are away! Big dog people: I love big dogs! If you have a backyard we can play in, perfect! I’m kind of a small human, so walks with a dog that pulls and isn’t 20 lbs is not something I’m comfortable with. Safety for everyone! My standard routine is working from my laptop, occasional grocery trips, lots of watching Hulu and couch cuddle time. I try to take a daily walk around .5 miles but can adjust to shorter or longer walks based on dog needs. I prefer staying at client’s home, I’ve found most pups feel more comfortable that way. A meet and greet is preferred, just a walk through of how you keep your house, how your pup/s like to be cared for, etc. I’m a homebody, pets will be left alone for no longer than a trip to Kroger.
About: I got my first dog at the age of 5 and my love for pets only grew from there. I've worked as a volunteer at a rescue as well as a professional Kennel Technician. I'm the person who answers "both" to the question "are you a dog or a cat person?" Unlike apartment complexes, I don't have any breed restrictions. In fact, I adore bully breeds and rescued my own pit mix. I'm also experienced with both puppies and kittens so I have no age restrictions either. I would be happy to set up a meet & greet prior to a booking. Please let me know if you have any questions and I'd be happy to answer them! I have open availability at the moment so I can spend as much time as you want with your pets and would love an excuse to leave my apartment. I am comfortable with every type of harness and leash and can crate your pet if necessary. I understand that all pets have boundaries and will respect those boundaries as I learn them. Your pet's trust is very important to me and I will work hard to earn it. I'm more than happy to set up a meet & greet to introduce myself to them.
“Daouda did an amazing job caring for our 2 cats while we were out of town! One cat was in a cone while we were gone after having some surgery and the other is on several pills and liquid medication, so caring for them wasn’t the easiest, but Daouda had no problems handling all of it. One of our cats can also be super shy but warmed up to him right away, and both looked very happy in all the photos we received. Even more telling was how relaxed and happy the cats were when we got home. Normally they are very clingy after we’ve been gone and have some residual separation anxiety, but they didn’t have any after this trip. Daouda also brought in an extremely large and heavy package that arrived for us while we were gone so we didn’t have to worry about it sitting outside until we got back, and that was super helpful. We are looking forward to booking him again and recommend him to anyone else looking for a pet sitter!”
About: I love animals but can’t have pets in my apartment so would appreciate sharing that love with your pet! I have been caring for a variety of pets since 2019, mostly dogs & cats (and the occasional bird!). I have experience with dogs of all sizes (from chihuahuas to Great Danes) and most ages. I have less experience with puppies but lots of experience with senior dogs. I have experience with high energy dogs that need multiple walks a day and dogs that struggle with mobility. I have experience with dogs who require medication. I have experience with cats of all temperaments. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out. I have a fairly flexible schedule so am available during the day most days and on weekends. I have been regularly caring for my parents’ elderly Great Dane (11 years old now) since 2020. I am looking forward to spending more time caring for pets. I care for pets in their home environment according to the standards set by the owners. I am very conscious of varying family rules on things such as furniture and am happy to adhere to those expectations. I prefer to stick to whatever schedule the pet(s) are used to (regular walk times, regular feeding times, etc).
“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.”
About: With a lifetime of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from playful Bichons to energetic Labradors, I'm confident your dog will have a safe and happy walk with me. I'm patient, flexible, and have a knack for spotting potential health concerns—plus, I have yet to meet a dog that doesn't become my instant best friend! Your dog's safety and happiness are my top priority, and I’ll make sure they get the fun, tail-wagging adventure they deserve. Open availability every week, to include weekends and some holidays. I’m super flexible, including last minute scheduling if needed. I understand life can get hectic and busy, let me calm your situation. I have a well kept home, free of any safety concerns. A very clean and clutter free back and front yard for furry friends to Zoom, run jog or roll around!
About: I've forever had a love for dogs. Shadowed in a vet office for two years and have seen animals been given oral meds and other treatments. Have owned several dogs. Currently have 1 dog named Chester. Also have worked with pregnant dogs (my mom has bred several litters). Comfortable with any breed or size. Passionate about every animal not just dogs. I love to go on walks and I'm an excellent trick trainer I might add. I work full time, but I work from home so I am flexible to work with a schedule for feedings and walks. I also can have portable monitor so I can work from other locations besides my home. If I plan to watch you dog overnight, I prefer to do it in the client’s home. Generally, it makes it more comfortable for the dog. Adjustments can be hard and they are already getting used to an unfamiliar face taking care of them. Please do not hesitate to reach if you have fee adjustment requests or questions!

Meghan was really great with our senior dogs while we were out of town for the weekend. She sent lots of pictures, which made me feel comfortable seeing that our dogs were happy, playing, and eating. She also communicated promptly if she had any questions. Would definitely recommend Meghan to others, and will be booking her again in the future!
Kailyn was such a great sitter for my cat! She did drop in visits while I was away for about a week and sent regular updates :) I know she was great company for my cat and I appreciated how responsible and on top of everything she was! I will definitely be booking Kailyn again to care for my cat!
Elisabeth did a fantastic job with our three pups. She followed all directions and made the whole process worry free. She has a great calming energy, which even put our shyest pup at ease during our initial meet and greet. We feel lucky to have found such a gem and look forward to using her again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Clarkston is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $30 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 7,505 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Clarkston. On Rover:
- 88% 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.
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.
