“Erin was great! My dogs warmed right up to her. She took good care of them and played with them. I highly recommend trusting your pets with Erin. I was able to enjoy my time away without a worry.”
“Alivia has come over twice now for drop in visits and the boys are loving her! She has been timely and very responsive which is greatly appreciated. From the time she gets here she is very engaged with both dogs, playing fetch with our hyper Boston and giving lots of pets to our more chill puggle. She also takes the best pictures of them while she’s here which has been adorable to receive after the visits. We will definitely be rebooking!”
“Corinne came when she said she would and provided us with photos and feedback from her visits with our dog. As far as we can tell, our dog enjoyed her time with Corinne (she didn't tell us directly but when we arrived back home she was feeling happy and calm:)) I would not hesitate to hire Corinne again.”
“Anna has been absolutely exceptional with our dogs! We’ve been using her for a few months now, and she is extremely responsible and gets back to us very quickly. She provides great feedback and we couldn’t feel more lucky to have her taking care of our babies.”
“I highly recommend Margaret. I have an energetic puppy. Margaret gave her a wonderful walk every day rain or shine, and played tug-of-war (my puppy's favorite!) with her reamining time. She communicated with me after every visit and sent me videos of the dog walks. I will absolutely use Margaret again. Very professional.”
About: I've had pets my entire life. It has been quite some time since I have owned a dog. I had the best dog of my life and since she passed away I don't think I can endure that loss again. However, I still crave interactions with man's best friend. I very recently lost my 19 year old kitty which has been difficult but I still have a 12yr old rescued cat with bad behaviors lol. I am experienced with providing oral medications and injections. I owned a diabetic cat that unfortunately died from cancer. I also have fish and cardene shrimp. I have cared for reptiles, birds, rats, mice, and other small furry friends. I am an RN but need to spend more time with critters to make my life more balanced and enjoyable. Sure, overtime as an RN pays better, but time spent with animals brings me joy. I have experience training both cats and dogs. I am a remote worker and therefore have a great deal of flexibility. Let me know your needs. I will do my best to accommodate your pet's needs. I keep my cat in the bedroom due to bad behaviors and extreme anxiety making it easy to care for another animal in our home if needed. I do not have a fenced yard but I live in a beautiful subdivision for long walks. I prefer to watch pets in their home to reduce anxiety but if your pet is very social and you prefer they stay in our home, our home is very pet friendly. Our whole family has cats and dogs and they always come to visit and get spoiled. Animals are allowed on furniture and run of our large home.
“Lindsay was fantastic. She took great care of our dog while we were out of town. Very reliable - great communication with us and love all the picture updates. It made been away so much easier knowing he was been taken care of so well. Highly recommend her.”
“Rachael took awesome care of my fur babies while I was out of town. She sent picture updates and made me feel that my pets were well cared for and in good hands! She is very sweet and I would definitely have her check in on my animals again! Thank you :)”
About: I’ve had dogs every since I can remember, our house always had at least 2 dogs in the family. I was always in charge of walking and feeding them I work 7-5, Monday- Friday! Watching your pet or pets would fit in because I would be able to stay overnight to watch your furry friends. And as far as weekends I don’t work so they would have a pal all day. I care for pets in others homes by first treating their pet like it is my own. And second I treat the house like it is my own also. I want to make sure that the pet I am caring for gets the attention and care he/she needs while the family is away. I am very friendly and love to make connections with new families and their pets.
About: I’ve had a vast experience from helping foster cats to personal dog ownership and training. My calm, loving demeanor sets me apart from just a pet sitter. A flexible schedule is ideal, considering I am primary caregiver to my two children. Looking for a part time schedule during school hours. I value being responsible and reliable for you and your pet’s needs. I would love to establish our home as a safe boarding environment for your bestie. We have just under two acres- not fenced- of beautiful land for your best friend to run and play! Lots of space inside, with option of storing a crate, if needed. Our children will not be part of the boarding experience as they are not home on weekends. Our dog passed unexpectedly this year of cancer and it wrecked us. Although we cannot replace her, we would love to provide a happy place for your beloved pet to stay and be loved while you are away or need a break. 🩷
About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs and other pets for family members and close friends. I provide attentive, loving care tailored to each pet’s needs, including feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, and plenty of companionship. I understand how important it is for pet owners to feel confident their pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re away, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I am dependable, patient, and passionate about animals, and I strive to create an stress-free, positive experience for both pets and their owners. I work only one day a week, giving me plenty of availability and flexibility to care for your pets. I’m available most days and can work around your schedule to ensure your pets receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I care for pets in my home by letting them roam wherever they please & make my home their home. And when taking care of them in their own homes I respect their home as if it were my own. I stick to schedules that the animal is on whether that be in my home or theirs!
“Laurie was professional and so warm and caring — Jax and Lola had the best time with her. It’s a relief knowing they were not only well taken care of, but also really enjoyed themselves. Thank you Laurie!”
“Alexis is great! We had a meet and greet, and first visit went wonderfully. She sent a lot of pictures and updates with how the dogs were doing- they looked happy and comfortable! Will definitely book again! :)”
About: I’ve taken care of family pets and my neighbors pets since I was 16. I’ve been a pet parent myself for over 10 years now. I know how important your pets safety/happiness/and comfort is. I take watching your pet extremely serious, my philosophy with Rover is to treat your pet(s) like I do my own. I work a low pressure job from home so I’m home 24/7. This means I’m able to be around your pet and give them all my attention everyday. Most importantly that gives me the freedom to focus on the well being and comfort of your pet. About my home: - very spacious ranch style home. - no stairs, plenty of room for your pet to run around. • VERY LARGE fenced in yard. - I allow my dog Leo to spend as much time as he wants outside. Sun bathing and fetch are his favorite. •I live in a large safe neighborhood. -No major roads and safe environment. Walks are a must! I will treat your pet like they’re my own.
About: I have been taking care of animals since I can remember. I am currently a dog groomer and have been for 3 years. I love all animals I meet and have trained my own since I was 10. I can’t wait to meet your pet and treat them as my own! I have a full time job Wednesday through Sunday from 8-5 and Monday 8-2. All my free time I would love to spend with animals even though I am a dog groomer. Walks as long as they want and lots of love. I also offer grooming, bathing and training. Playing is a must as long as they want to.
About: Starting my experience with volunteering at my local veterinary clinic after school, starting in elementary to high school, that i now work part time at! A Rescue dog mom of two and two bunnies! As a part time bather with four fur babies of my own, i’d love to share my free time caring for those needed to be cared for. I take extra time to ensure your pets safety every visit by ensuring all gates and doors are shut and latched throughout visits, refill food/water when needed, check the security of collars, harness and leash before exiting home, be sure to secure your pet in a safe space in your home before leaving your visit, and send photos of your pet with any additional notes and information!

My husband and I have had several cat sitters for our very loved cat. Kristy is by FAR the best we have ever had. She is warm and caring, reporting any differences she sees in Tully’s behavior and eating habits—and gives him the best ear rubs and cuddles. Our sweet boy loves her. We leave him in Kristy’s care with peace in our hearts. Kristy is exceptional.
I would highly recommend Alicia for your pet sitting needs she was amazing with our fur baby! She followed all our instructions and she provided regular updates with pictures that gave us a sense of comfort. She even went above and beyond making sure an important package I received while away was securely placed in the house. I would definitely hire Alicia again if I'm ever in need of services for my pet!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Clarkston is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $39 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 3,362 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:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
