“Tamilyn is so wonderful! She was respectful of our home and very attentive to our Ruby. She went above and beyond making sure she was comfortable while we were away. We had great communication with picture updates. I highly recommend her to watch anyone's furbabies! We will definitely be requesting her again!”
“Samantha was fantastic! She sent us pictures when she popped in to check on our dogs. She cleaned up any messes they made and kept us updated on their general demeanor. 10/10 would recommend!”
About: I've owned animals throughout my life. Currently, I have a lasb/mastiff mix, a boxer/dane mix, 1 cat, 4 lizards and a trantula that I share my home with. I'll care for your pet to the best of my abilities and they will always be loved, safe, and protected In my day to day life, my fiance and I share duties in the indie bookshop and creative space that we own. In the mornings, I get ready and take our dog outside. I always pick up the poop and dispose of it - it's a requirement in our townhome community. I then go in and feed the dog and give her any medications and supplements she may be on. Usually, I leave the house and my fiance takes care of her letting her out and taking a walk during the day. We do have a fenced dog park one block over that we frequently visit to let the pup run around off-leash for a bit and play with any other dogs that may be there and/or throw the ball. In the evening, we always go for a nightly walk before bed. Then our dog has a comfy bed at the foot of our bed and some stairs so she can get on the bed and lay with us. Your dog will get the same experience and care as our sweet girl, along with a playmate so boredom won't be an option. All dogs will be on leash outside of the home and waste will be disposed of properly. There's a fenced dog park near by that will allow your dog to run around off leash with our dog, who is very friendly and patient - an older spayed large dog, gentle as can be. Your dog will get the same care and protection as ours including no access to the cat box or open food they can grab, lots of love and attention, access to clean water always, and extra emphasize on anything you tell me your dog needs. I take our pets health very seriously.
About: I've taken care of friends' and coworkers' dogs and rabbit, in addition to house sitting. I own a cat myself named Josh, and I've had him for about 14 years. I have volunteered periodically at the Cache Humane Society during my time at USU. I currently work part-time, but I'm free before 9am and after 4pm during the weekdays and with enough notice, the weekends are flexible! I will follow any instructions you have and adjust if needed. Make sure that exit points are closed and attentive of any behavior changes to share.
About: Hi my name is Natalie, I love all animals and just adore every single one of them! I have an adorable cat named Luna and have grown up with other cats in the past. I've taken care of cats, dogs, and others! I am comfortable with small and large animals as long as they are friendly. I love going on walks or rides with dogs and playing fetch or tug of war with them. I have volunteered at cache humane society, taking dogs out for a ride around town to experience what it's like outside of their kennel and to familiarize them around other people. I have dog sat many times for neighbors, friends and family since high school up to the present. I look forward to meeting and caring for your loved animal friends! Currently, I will be available for any pet care you need. I don’t have a preference for how long and I am available any day of the week Monday- Sunday. Please give me at least 1 days notice if needing over night care or longer preparation time the further away from south logan you are. Thank you! When asked to take care of animals, I care for them as the owner would and give them lots of love. I may not be able to board pets at my home as I have 2 cats living with me but I am comfortable staying at my clients home if needed. I am clean and trustworthy and will stay over night if needed.
“Sierra was great to work with. I came home to happy healthy dogs and a tidy home. She was a great communicator and I felt secure that my boys would be well looked after. Would use her services again.”
About: My family had a dog from the time I was a baby; my parents made sure I not only helped by playing with him, but walking, feeding, and grooming him, too. Later we had a cat and another dog. The cat was mine, so litterbox duty was always on me. So I have years of experience living with and taking care of cats and dogs, and I would LOVE the opportunity to show your fur baby some good old fashioned TLC! I do gig work for a living, so my schedule is super flexible, especially if you give me prior notice! I do not work on Sundays and Thursdays, unless it's an extended-stay situation. I can come to your home, where your fur baby is the most comfortable, and make sure they have the company, attention, and care they need when you're gone.
About: I've grown up with all sorts of dogs and cats. I have trained lots of dogs and pride myself in being very patient and calm. I'm a full time college student with classes 10:30-2 on Monday through Thursday, I have weekends off. So I can do morning and afternoons. I understand everyone is different and I really respect that. I know if you want your pet taken care of and treated a certain way I want to do that as much as possible
About: I have grown up with animals my whole live from horses, to lambs to mainly dogs. I love ;learning about different dogs personalities and how to take care of them individually. I would one day like to train a working dog but for now just learning more about them. I live on a farm and your dog would have a lot of space to roam under close supervision. I do currently work a part time job however that still gives me plenty of time to spend with your dog or your dogs! I also have family members who would love to get to know your pet as well! With so much space to roam there will be a lot of walks for your dog. Pets are allowed inside the home however they are not allowed on furniture or beds. As I hjave said there is lots of space to roam and get exercise. They will not be allowed off leash unless given permission by you, the owner. I can keep the routine you have with your dog!
About: I'm Miranda! Since I was a baby, I've grown up with both cats and dogs in the house and I learned how to take care of them. At the complex I live in there are pathways and lots of grassy areas to go for walks and play outside. I also like to stay in and relax with the animals as well. I'm quite a shy person but I really do just love all kinds of animals. In my house I have two cats and a small dog, they are all very friendly with each other and have been with other animals they come across. I am just starting out in here but I can assure you that I am able to and want to help you and your pets.
“Austin watched our 3 dogs for 10 days and was great to give us daily reports and pictures. He walked them daily and stayed at our house where he gave them lots of love and attention. We have one escape artist but he was very careful and followed our instructions to keep Cosmo safe. We will certainly hire Austin again!”
About: I have grown up with many animals in my lifetime from a very young age! I love being able to play and take care of any need they may have! I have taken care of puppies and older dogs with needs. My routine is very flexible so it’s not a problem fitting appointments around in my day for any amount of time! I look forward to meeting so many furry friends! I have two fur babies of my own who are the best friends a girl could ask for! I have watched many of my neighbors dogs growing up and now as they leave on vacations, they will be in great hands waiting for their best friends to get back!

About: I am a human mom, dog mom, and teacher looking to make some extra income throughout the summer. In this family, we’re always around animals. For questions or wanting to schedule care, please reach out! As a teacher, I have the majority of summers off. I’ll be home each day looking for something to keep busy outside of caring for my kids. In previous jobs my responsibilities included taking care of 1-4 pets at a time (cats and dogs). I was asked to feed them and let them outside. On top of this I played with them, took them on walks, gave them treats and attention, and brushed them. I can take on any pet responsibilities you may need when out of the home.
“Dogs were well cared for and seemed happier and healthier than they were when I left. It was easy to get in touch, and we were regularly updated about about the the dogs.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, so taking care of them has always been second nature to me. I’m comfortable with all sizes and personalities from playful puppies to older dogs who need a little extra patience. Friends, neighbors, and family have always trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and look after their pets, and I genuinely love spending time with animals. I make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and cared for, just like they’re my own. I work two part-time jobs, but I still have plenty of time for pet care! I’m free most evenings, a few hours throughout the day, and I’m fully available on weekends. I’m flexible and can usually work around your pup’s routine. I take caring for pets in their own home very seriously. I’m reliable, respectful, and always make sure your space and your pet are safe. I follow your routines exactly feeding, walks, meds, and any specific instructions you have. You can trust that your pet will get gentle, attentive care and that your home will be treated with the same respect I’d give my own.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a child. I’ve always had such a big heart for them and love that I can help people out with their pets needs. I’ve mostly take care of puppies and senior dogs. I’ve been doing it consistently for a couple of my relatives for the past 4 years. I have two part time jobs right now. One is from 4 AM to 8:30 AM Tuesday through Saturday and my second job is from 3 PM to 7 PM Monday through Friday. I’m free all day on Mondays until 2:30 PM and I have between 8:30 AM and 2:30 PM to help with your pets Tuesday through Friday. On Saturdays I’m available from 8:00 AM to 5 PM. I live in a nice and peaceful apartment complex that doesn’t have a yard but there’s plenty of grassland around along with a cute stream. The neighborhood I live in is also great for walks. I also have two cats who are curious of other animals but are sweet and friendly. I can keep my cats in another room if you prefer that.
“Maddison was amazing! She was super flexible on a last minute trip and made the accommodations needed. I even had run out of some food & she was kind enough to go pick some up for me. She was great with my farm - dogs, cats, livestock & I highly recommend her! She is super thorough & asks for further information in case of emergencies. She also is a vet tech which made me feel a lot more comfortable leaving my animals in her hands. Will be rebooking!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 155 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Clarkston. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Clarkston walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Clarkston maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
