“Shelby did an amazing job. My GSD doesn’t always like new people but when Shelby arrived she ran to get her ball for play. Would definitely recommend Shelby for house/dog sitting.”

About: Plenty of experience from having my own dogs, to always watching friends/families pets over the years. Your fur baby will receive the top-notch care. From previously owning a Cane Corso I have attended many dog training classes and have learned so many tips and tricks and behaviors/training. I am particularly good at teaching tricks! My schedule is wide open! My availability is any weekday and most weekends. My husband is an airline pilot so being with dogs gives me something to do! 💗 Your fur baby will get the upmost care/safety in my home. I currently live in a cute apartment with a grassy area for pets. I’m a very outdoorsy person and I love going on walks and to parks so your pet will have the upmost outdoor activity it loves/is used to.
About: Hi, I’m Sarah! I have 17 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I understand that every pet has their own routine, comfort level, and unique needs, so I take the time to help them feel safe, loved, and at home. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and committed to following your instructions carefully. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I’ll provide the same loving care and attention I would want for my own pets. I’ll also keep you updated so you can feel comfortable and confident while you’re away. I’m a stay-at-home mom who loves animals, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m home throughout much of the day and can plan walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins around each pet’s needs. I’ll confirm availability and care instructions with you before booking. My home sits on half an acre with a fully fenced yard, giving pets plenty of safe space to run, play, and explore. Pets are welcome throughout my large, pet-friendly home so they can feel comfortable and relaxed while staying with us. We live in a quiet, friendly neighborhood with walking areas and a dog park nearby. For the safety and comfort of all pets in my care, I keep boarding limited and carefully select the animals I welcome into my home. I focus on providing personalized attention and maintaining a calm, low-stress environment rather than boarding large numbers of pets at once.
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every pet. I treat them like family and take the time to learn their routines, personalities, and individual needs. I’m patient with shy or nervous pets and love keeping them happy, comfortable, and engaged while their people are away. As a professional pet groomer, I also bring extra experience with handling pets, reading body language, and noticing changes in their health or behavior. Your pets’ safety, comfort, and happiness always come first! 🐾❤️ Pet care naturally fits into my daily life! I care for my four furbabies every day, making sure they receive plenty of attention, enrichment, exercise, and love. I also work as a professional pet groomer, so caring for animals is both my passion and my profession. Your pets would be in caring, experienced hands! 🥰🐾 I take advantage of my fenced yard or my clients, if my client doesn’t have a fenced yard then I insure that harness and leash are safe before starting a walk, I make sure nothing remains on the floor for pets to eat that is bad, I have kennels if needed.
About: I’m a passionate lifelong animal lover offering dependable pet care who believes every pet deserves patient, compassionate, and attentive care. Having lived the military lifestyle firsthand I can cater to Military unique situations too! I work full time but my schedule is very flexible and I don’t work weekends or holidays. If there is special requirements that are required I can adjust to meet unique needs. I have a completely fenced in 12 foot wooden fenced in yard with plenty of room for running around and playing as well as a covered patio for crates.
“We needed a somewhat last minute sitter and Anthony was available. He stayed with our animals for a little over a week and we came home to some happy pets. It was easy and so reassuring to know our loved pets were in such great hands.”

“Short version: Ruby speaks pet! Long version: Ruby was a pet whisperer the moment she met my dog; he totally loved on her (he's not picky but he definitely has his favorites). During the meet & greet I could tell she understood how important sticking to a schedule was, which meant a lot. But going back really quick, what meant the most to me was her empathy (we both want the best for our pets), and this is what made Ruby a trusted sitter. Thank you Ruby, so very much!!”

I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and medications if needed. I’ll also keep their space clean, give them plenty of attention, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. When walking dogs I tend to avoid other dogs or people that way there is no conflict and we can have a safe walk every time

He was also super flexible with a last minute schedule change. The house was clean and the dogs were happy when we got home. Thanks Todd!”


About: I provide personalized, one to one care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I have experience administering oral medications and following detailed care instructions. I also have a background in puppy care, including basic training reinforcement, potty training support, crate training, and helping maintain consistent routines. I’m comfortable caring for senior pets who may need extra patience, slower paced activities, or additional attention. 5+yrs both dogs and cats, My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress free experience while keeping pet parents updated with daily photos and messages for complete peace of mind Pet care is my full time career, so my days are built around the animals in my care. Outside of Rover, I own and operate my own pet care business, which allows me to provide a flexible schedule and attentive, personalized care. Because I only accept one boarding family at a time, I have plenty of time to give each pet the love, attention, exercise, and supervision they deserve. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities.

I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any special care needs. You’ll also receive daily updates with photos and videos, so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I’ve been caring for cats, dogs, birds, rabbits, and many other animals for most of my life. I’ve had two wonderful dogs of my own, a Basset Hound and a Dachshund, who were a huge part of my heart. They were both pretty stubborn, so along the way I picked up some useful training skills as well. My schedule is flexible and can be adjusted with one week’s notice before the boarding date. Otherwise, I’m available anytime on weekends and weekdays after 5 p.m. I’m happy to coordinate and accommodate your scheduling needs whenever possible.

I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your furry family member is in good hands. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, secure, and cared for while you’re away!
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, so I’m no stranger to the work that comes with taking care of them. I’ve helped care for entire puppy litters and have experience with end of life care as well. Over the years, I’ve been around dogs at all stages of life and have learned that no two dogs are exactly alike. I’m comfortable with the responsibility that comes with caring for someone else’s pet, and I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your dog. I have a flexible work schedule and can handle most of my work from home or my phone, which gives me plenty of flexibility to work pet care into my daily routine. I can plan my day around visits, walks, feeding, and spending time with your pet, while making sure they get the attention and care they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priorities. I’ll respect your home, follow your instructions, and make sure your pet is cared for in a safe, familiar environment. I understand the trust involved in leaving your pet with someone else, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll keep you updated during visits and let you know if anything seems out of the ordinary. I have a dog of my own, so I’m mindful of making sure every pet is comfortable and safe when boarding. If your pet isn’t comfortable around other dogs, I can easily arrange for my dog to stay with family so your pet can have their own space.

About: I have been around and caring for dogs for most of my life because either I or a family member has always had one. I also have hands-on experience caring for dogs through my work at the Humane Society, where I interact with dogs of different ages, personalities, energy levels, and behavior needs. I’m currently attending dog training school, which has helped me better understand dog behavior, body language, leash handling, basic commands, and positive training techniques. I currently focus on dog walking, drop-in visits, and doggy daycare. I enjoy making sure dogs get the exercise, attention, potty breaks, playtime, and care they need while their owners are away. I take the time to learn each dog’s personality, favorite things, fears, triggers, and what helps them feel comfortable. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages during their care. If you’re happy with my service, a written review is always greatly appreciated and helps future pet parents feel more comfortable booking with me. 🐾 I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and doggy daycare throughout the week. My availability may vary by day, but I do my best to accommodate different schedules and routines. Feel free to message me about the dates and times you need, and I’ll let you know what I have available. I live in an apartment, but I make sure dogs receive plenty of walks, exercise, potty breaks, and attention. I always follow the owner's instructions and take the time to learn each dog's routine and needs. I currently volunteer with the Humane Society and Resilient Hearts Animal Sanctuary, where I work with dogs of different sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My goal is to provide a safe, positive, and stress-free experience for every dog in my care. I am also pursuing a degree in psychology and will be starting the Karen Pryor Dog Trainer Foundations course. My long-term goal is to become a service dog trainer, so I'm passionate about continuing to learn and build experience working with dogs.
“Keri has such a sweet and gentle demeanor. My pup, Klaus, fell in love with her right away! When I got home I could tell that Klaus had had a great time and was super comfortable with Keri. She asked pertinent questions and followed my instructions to a t. I would highly recommend Keri and I will absolutely be contacting her again to sit Klaus”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Clay City
Evan was so very accommodating with my ever-changing schedule! He and Quinn stayed in my home for a week, caring for my 4 dogs and 1 cat. They were punctual and friendly and my pets were happy and safe with them while I was gone. I will be contacting them the next time I take a trip, so that is the highest recommendation I can give them.

The average cost of House Sitting in Clay City is $65 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $78 per night.

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 2,139 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Clay City. 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 Clay City 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 Clay City 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 Clay City 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 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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
