About: Since I was born I was surrounded by dogs. I moved to the Syracuse and my dogs stayed home so I have a lot of attention to give Half of the week I work from home so I can be with the dog. We’ll have lots of play time. The dog will not miss you. Just kidding! But I will me give my heart out. I know how it is to trust someone else with your fur baby, so I’ll do everything I can to make everyone feel safe. I live in an apartment. We’ll go for walks in downtown or a park. Every recommendation taken (food, medicine , toys , etc) just let me know

“Ciarra did a great job taking care of Cleo!! She responded right away after our Rover request. Ciarra did drop ins for our elderly cat that needed medications while we were on vacation. We appreciated her willingness to provide the meds for our beloved Cleopatra. Ciarra is sweet, professional and efficient. Would recommend her for a trusted animal caretaker.”

“This was our second time booking Marisol and we are so glad she was available. Marisol is reliable, detail-oriented, and patient with our cats who can be shy and finicky. Her reports are always thorough, and the photo and video updates give us such peace of mind knowing our girls are well cared for. Your pets will be lucky to have Marisol to care for them!”

About: I have worked with animals all my life from having them growing up to caring for them for other people. I am willing to accommodate any situation! I am currently working part time hours at my job but I have lots of availability and can accommodate pretty much anything! I’d love to get to know your fur babies! My mom and I have a fenced in backyard and a very nice neighborhood for walking if you plan on having your pets stay with me. We are occasionally doing this together since I work part time already she is also very pet friendly. I am very vigilant on making sure they get there play time in and walks.

Kaeley provided the peace of mind I needed. She was very friendly, on time, followed directions to a T, and most importantly was great with my Chase. Chase loved her immediately and I know he would also recommend you hire Kaeley for your loved pet! I willl absolutely be booking her again in the future! She was great!!

We couldn't ask for a better dog sitter. Pam consistently goes above and beyond in every way. We have high-energy stubborn cattle dogs, and she handles them with confidence, patience, and genuine care. Our dogs love her, but they also respect her, which says a lot about her ability to connect with them. She's smart, proactive, and thoughtful. She doesn't just follow instructions—she anticipates our needs, thinks through situations on her own, and always makes decisions with our dogs' best interests in mind. She's also an excellent communicator, keeping us updated and making sure we're always informed. Her communication gives us peace of mind and makes us feel completely comfortable whenever we're away. Beyond her professionalism, she's very kind. We can tell she cares about our dogs. We trust her completely and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone exceptional to care for their pets.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Clay

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Clay is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $38 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 October 2026, there are 553 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Clay. 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 Clay 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 .

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 , 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 .

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

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Clay. 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.

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
