“Katie was great! She gave both my babies all the loving and attention they needed. She took lots of photos and left detailed notes about things she took care of for them. I will be using her for future drop in visits!”
About: I have 1 cat at home and my partner has 1 dog who basically acts like a cat, so I am looking for an excuse to be around dogs (preferably <25 lbs) who may need some company. Friends and family have entrusted me with their pets for years (both for walks and overnight stays) and I take that responsibility incredibly seriously. I have a full-time hybrid position that has me at home on Mondays and Fridays with some flexibility from Tuesday - Thursday. On days when I am in the office, I will be home before 4:30pm for any afternoon feeding times. I am also available on weekends with advanced notice. I have a large unfenced yard and live less than a block away from a dedicated dog park. I have one small dog (15 lbs) and one cat who are happy to keep your pet company or can be kept in a different part of the house depending on your needs.
About: I have had pets my entire life. I currently have two rescue dogs and two rescue cats of my own. I will spoil your pet as if they were mine and I’m happy to provide photos and or videos during my visit. I work full-time, but with enough notice I can also work remotely and stay with your pet if needed during the day. I am also available for drop ins as needed. I currently am unable to care for pets in my own home due to my pets personalities but am happy to watch them in their home environment.
About: Our family absolutely adores dogs. We have experience boarding up to several weeks at a time while owners are on vacations. Your pup will be pampered with snuggles and love. Our home has a fenced in backyard with plenty of room to run around. I currently work weekdays, so Friday at 6 PM until Sunday at 7 PM is completely available for overnights or daytime visits. Also available for walks after 6 PM Monday through Thursday. I have a fenced in backyard and will keep your dog within sight at all times. My home comes with 2 assistants; my 8 and 11 year old sons who LOVE dogs and will play endlessly with your pet.
About: Hi I’m 26 years old! I have grown up around dogs all my life and I have always loved walking with them and getting to see what they find interesting. I promise that the walk will be focused on the dog not on just getting the walk over with. I have two dogs at my childhood home that I help take care of and walk whenever I am home, so I know the importance of a walk for a dog! I’m a teacher who loves to spend her time after school outside and I thought what better than to spend some time with dogs! I am currently training for a half marathon so if you want my walk to be a run with your puppy let me know! I have a fenced in back yard at home that can allow dogs to run around without a leash. Something about dogs is that they can really benefit from a nice walk where they go at their own pace! That’s my goal for walking your dog, whether it’s slow walks or a light jog, I’m here to help!
“We can always rely on Jess to come check in on our cat when we are out of town. She consistently goes above and beyond to take care of Gwen as well as our house. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve had a dog my entire life. My experience includes training as a pup and taking care of a senior dog. I understand the value of keeping the dog moving and getting its exercise. I currently work full time, but am available on weekends and weekdays after 6pm. I do have a 1 year old that also loves dogs. I have a fenced in yard and typically will play with the dogs inside and out. It depends on the dog and their preferences in playtime.
About: I've always had three dogs in my household growing up at all times, at various sizes and ages. From Maltese to Saint Bernard, I've had them all. As I started my independence in adulthood, I also got a Newfoundland as my first pet by myself. I have experience with both senior and young dogs, with the ability to follow directions when it comes to medications and specializations.
About: I grew up with multiple dogs and one to two cats at a time. My entire family has pets and I’m the go to pet sitter. We have pets ranging from 1 year old to 18 years old, 2 lbs to 70lbs, and dogs of all breeds. I’ve pet sat for up to 4 dogs at a time, and loved every second of it. I’m only gone 3 days out of the week for an 8 hour work day, otherwise I’m working from home or in and out throughout the day for a few hours at a time. I have a fenced in yard so potty breaks are very easy. I also have time for morning and night walks as well as dog parks if wanted by the owner. When I’m watching someone’s dog, I pay close attention to where they are in the home, whether they need to go outside, play to get energy out, or rest. Feedings vary based on the dogs needs. I follow what the owner prefers for their pet care.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Clawson
Brandon was absolutely wonderful with my dog. He went above and beyond to make sure Gable was well cared for, even picking up after his toys and surprising him with a new one! He was thoughtful, attentive, and clearly went the extra mile. I really appreciated the care he showed, and I would absolutely book him again. Highly recommend!
Jessica has been doing drop-ins with our pup while we are at work for a month now. She is warm, kind, and great with our dog, and she also is extremely responsive and a great communicator with us through the app. We were very nervous about the transition to leaving Pepper home alone all day (we had previously worked from home), but Jessica's kindness and consistency with coming to see her at lunch has helped make the transition a smooth one!
Camile did a great job with my three boys (dogs) while I was away on a work trip. She was very communicative and I could tell by her pictures that she was actually interacting and playing with them. I told her she could leave my reactive, shy boy locked up but she removed the gate and gave him a chance to come out on his own. On the second day he did!
Kat goes above and beyond for our dogs while my partner and I are working long hours! She gives them treats, brings extra toys for them to play with, and generally just gives them a ton of love while she’s visiting. In the pictures she takes, you can see how happy our dogs are when they are being cared for by her. Her schedule is really flexible and she has saved us a couple of times when we’ve had to ask for her help fairly last minute. I’m so glad we found her for our senior pups!
Kelly has been absolutely wonderful with my pups! She is incredibly thorough, attentive, and genuinely cares about them. I have a lot of specific routines and details that are important to me, and she takes the time to follow every one of them. She is reliable and gives me complete peace of mind knowing my girls are in good hands. I highly recommend Kelly to anyone looking for someone who will go above and beyond for their pets!
Jodi did an exceptional job petsitting for us while we were away for 5 days. She took on a somewhat challenging schedule with three very different pets with different needs. She was timely, reliable, caring, engaging and communicated well throughout the process.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Clawson is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $31 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 3,464 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Clawson. 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 Clawson 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 Clawson 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 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.
