“Incredible service and excellent communicator! Very prompt and took care of our doggos wonderfully! I’ve already rebooked her for multiple occasions! I highly recommend her to everyone!!”
“I’m so thankful for Erika! I was nervous about leaving our 14 year old cocker spaniel Sophie for a week long trip. Erika was conscientious, communicative, flexible, professional, kind, trustworthy, mature, and responsible! She really loves animals. I can’t recommend her highly enough. When we returned home, Sophie was peaceful and content, calm and happy. Thank you, Erika, for making our vacation enjoyable by taking such good care of Sophie and our home.”
“Jennifer took care of our 2 dogs and home for a few days - she did a fantastic job! She communicates regularly with pictures and information which is super helpful and comforting while being away. We highly recommend Jennifer!”
“We have used Rover for many years and Stephanie stands out from the rest. We cannot recommend her enough! She watched our two girls at our house for a week while we were out of town, and within the first day or two, a storm knocked huge tree branches from our neighbor’s yard into ours. She handled it without missing a beat, pivoting quickly to keep our girls safe the entire time. She stayed in communication, sent photos regularly, and gave us complete peace of mind throughout the whole trip. I can tell they miss her today but luckily she will be around for drop-ins as well! She also left our house in beautiful condition. She’s the absolute best but please leave some of her time for us 🤣🤣. Thanks, Stephanie!!”
“Thank you so much for helping me out! Jenna was kind enough to accommodate my dates and extra night that I needed due to some unforeseen circumstances! She sent updates and pictures and my kitty loved her!”
“Darlene was an absolute joy to work with with our housesitting and dog sitting. Beyond the fact that she’s a very responsible friend, friendly and experienced person that everyone can trust she’s a really nice person just to get to know as well.”
“I think she did a wonderful job watching our animals! She sent us a couple pictures and checked in just about every day. She stayed and hung out with our golden retriever and the house looked untouched when we came back! Definitely recommend!”
“Madison was so wonderful with our dog! From the moment he met her, Milo was comfortable. He even looked for her for the next couple of days. She was very responsive, conscientious, and an overall great sitter.”
About: Recently graduated from Mizzou, I have spent the last 2 years helping to care for our house pets, including two cats and one dog. I worked to feed, walk, and engage with my pets during this period. Prior to this, I lived and cared for many animals back in my hometown: 3 dogs, 2 guinea pigs, 2 parrots, and a turtle. Because of this, I deliver versatile care, and understand that every pet has its own unique needs! I work 2 part time jobs, both in healthcare, where my hours are stacked on certain days of the week. This gives me flexibility to help care for your pets! Though each week can be a little different, I have my schedule set throughout the summer and can plan far ahead! I have such a big heart for animals! I love giving them attention and care above and beyond what's expected. I prefer to do this in a house sitting situation due to having 5 other roomates with animals here, but I have a car and am willing to do overnights!
“Maryn is amazing! She took great care of my boy while I was away for the week. I appreciated her updates and communication while I was away and will definitely reach out again for her services in the future.”
“Thanks for watching the pups once again! They were in a great mood as always with you when I get back from a trip, really appreciate your diligence and the safe of mind you provide”
“Thanks goodness for finding Grant! I had a family emergency and I needed to leave the country in a day. I am new in town and I didn't know anyone. I got on rover and I started sending requests. Grant responded promptly and he was ready to be interviewed by Shadow, my service dog. It was love at first sight. Shadow is a really great dog but one has to be really careful about his diet and about his medication schedule. Grant did great! He is a young man who loves dogs and will go out of his way to accommodate the clients needs. He babysat my dog at my place and he answered my calls consistently. Grant has my highest recommendation. Don't think twice about leaving you pup in his living hands.”
“James agreed to watch my puppy on short notice and he did a great job. He sent me text and photo updates of how my puppy was doing. I would highly recommend his services.”
About: Hi, my name is Autumn and i have worked with dogs and other animals for over 15 years. My experience comes from working in animal hospitals, pet stores, daycare, boarding, and rescue facilities. I've also been a dog walker for about 3 years. I worked for a dog walking company for 2 years and then started my own pet care/dog walking business called Road Dogs Pet Care and Transportation. I am a single mother of two daughters (5 & 11) and dog mom of 3 older (13,13, &15), very sweet dogs. They are all very social and well behaved. I have a large fenced in yard. I also have experience doing nail trims and offer in-home nail trims. i also have experience bathing and administering medications. I take care, safety, and love very seriously and will always do my best to make sure your babe feels as comfortable and happy as possible! Profile update: Hi, a lot has changed since I first joined Rover. I no longer have my three elderly babies as they have all passed away due to old age. We now have two new additions to our family, Six and Pepper. Six is my 2 year old Border Collie/Heeler mix. She's very spunky, sweet, and playful! Pepper is our 2 1/2 yr old 7 lb. poodle. She is basically my daughters little sidekick and spends almost all of her time with her. She sometimes thinks she's a Doberman, but she's harmless and warms up quick. Once she warms up she's ready to run with the big dogs! They're both great girls and are used to new friends and visitors often. 😊 I'm home full-time and take care of my two kids, two dogs, and our aquatic turtle. Aside from running occasional errands or appointments, I'm able to give your dog or dogs all the love, attention, and playtime that they need. I'm also available for daily dog walks if needed. I have a large fully fenced yard for them to run and play in. They are all inside and outside frequently throughout the day as needed or as they please. I'm happy to cater to any individual needs. 2/23/25 Update: Hi, so its now been about 23 years of working with all these amazing beautiful babes! Im still available for boarding, home drop-ins, and daily walks or potty breaks if you don’t have time or need any extra help. We have a new family member now. Marley is our newest baby girl. She is a two year old Dalmatian and she is super sweet and full of playful sweet energy! She gets along with everybody. :) So our household currently consists of Me, my partner, my two daughters (10 & 16), Six, Pepper, Marley, and Mr.B (Turtle). Also just to clarify, my name is Amber Autumn Hays. I went by Autumn when I first started my Rover Act. You can call me either. :) Please let me know if you are in need of a sitter, boarding, daycare, walks, or nail trims, and I would be happy to help! 😊🐾🐾🐾 Can't wait to meet new friends and see old ones again! Looking forward to warm weather and summertime fun! ☀️ Basically I live and breath kids and dogs and my world pretty much revolves around my kids and yours. :) I have learned a lot over the last 23 years so I am very qualified in giving your pup the care they want and need while you are away. I have a very large fully fenced in yard and 3 friendly and playful babes to keep your baby company. Everyone has free roam in the house or outside during the day. I can also kennel if need be or I only kennel at night or if I leave the house for any reason. If I come to your home, I follow any instructions you give me and the time frame that you’re needing.
“Olivia was absolutely fantastic while we were on a family vacation! She took care of Stevie and loved her as her own while we were gone. She also took great care of our house and left it cleaner than when we left for vacation. We will absolutely book services again with Olivia and highly recommend her.”
About: Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays, your furry friend will receive all the love and attention they deserve. I prioritize safety and fun, ensuring your pet feels at home while you’re away. I’ve been taking care of pets for friends and neighbors ever since high school. This has included both dog walking and dog/cat sitting. I was also a nanny to both a toddler and two dogs so I am confident that I have the experience to ensure excellent care for every pet that I take on. Let’s connect and make your pet’s day brighter! I work from home Wednesday/Friday and other weekdays I typically get home from work around 2 pm. Weekends I am completely free. I am a homebody at heart so looking for some furry friends to keep me company or get me out for my daily walk/run! I am both a huge dog and cat lover! I live in an apartment in a very pet friendly building within a great walking neighborhood. I love taking dogs along for my morning run if they need to let out some extra energy. I have no pets of my own to worry about which is why I’m looking to give yours some extra love! Totally willing to accommodate any special request such as administering medicine, maintaining a training regimen, etc.
About: I love taking care of all types of animals, dogs, cats, reptiles (no snakes), birds, fish and guinea pigs! I’ve personally taken care of several different species of animals over the past 10 years and have house/pet sit for the past two. I can also take care of your plants!! You will receive pictures of your fur babies daily! I have a part time job that is 3 days a week and my shifts are 4 to 5 hours long. I will still have plenty of time and energy after work to play and cuddle with your fur babies!! I do have an older cat and older large dog in my home. They will be staying at my home when I’m taking care of your babies!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Claycomo is $37 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $54 per night. 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 1,460 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Claycomo. 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 Claycomo 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 Claycomo 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 Claycomo 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 , 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 .
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 .
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.
