“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!!”
“Karrie was fantastic! She stayed in our home, which helped our dogs feel comfortable and relaxed right away. She kept them on their usual routine, so we never had to worry while we were away. She was also a wonderful house guest and even washed dishes and bedding before she left. We couldn't have asked for better care and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Laurie was great! We needed a last minute sitter and Laurie jumped in to help out. She took great care of our pups and house. You could tell in the pics that they were relaxed and having fun. We have 3 dogs, which can be a lot. One is highly anxious but warmed up to Laurie the first day. She have very thoughtful and excellent questions about the dogs and housebefore we left and as needed during her stay. I couldn't have been happier and more comfortable. We will definitely be asking Laurie to sit for us again!”
“We were out of town for about a week, but Mikayla and Curtis provided just the right amount of updates to keep us comfortable. Our dogs warmed up to them, which can be a challenge for one of them. When we came home our house was very clean. I'd highly recommend to anyone.”
“Jennifer is great: she's good with dogs (and my puppy loves her), on time, flexible, quick to respond and on top of that - pleasant! I don't know what more you could be looking for in a dog sitter. We will absolutely be using her again in the (very near) future. I would recommend her for all your puppy/dog needs.”
“Jenna was great. Super communicative, very attentive during the meet and greet, and sent regular updates for both my pets. I would definitely have her house sit again!”
“Gabriela was amazing from the time we met her we knew she was the one for our Ollie and Callie. She sent photos and comments about our babies and even cleaned up puke with carpet cleaner. We definitely will book soon. 😊”
“I cannot speak highly enough of Jennifer! She house sat for my 5 mo old puppy and two senior cats, and my garden for six days, coordinating with veterinarian to deliver medical care to my sick cat and spending most of her time with my animals. She worked on training my pup and got him back into a good routine! She is super communicative and gives you the kinds of updates you want to hear about and sends lots of photos. She follows directions to a tee, so I never had to worry! She kept the house clean. I will definitely be asking for her again! 6 stars”
“Stephanie was amazing with our two golden retrievers! She stayed in communication with us and sent the best pictures! The dogs always looked so happy! She took great care of them, walked them and was just the perfect match for us!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs, cats, small mammals, horses, fish, and some reptiles. I am an animal lover through and through, so whatever kind of pet you have, I promise to care for them as if they were my own. I am great at following instructions, so even if it is a new type of critter I haven't met before, I will provide care exactly as you direct. I have extensive experience with senior dogs, diabetes management, blind and/or deaf animals, and other medical care. I am not deterred by special needs animals. If you can show me how to perform the necessary tasks, I can do them. I will ensure that your babies get their special diet, their meds (pills or injections), their specific bedtime routine, or even just their exact required number of belly rubs and forehead kisses to keep their routine as steady as possible. I love sending photos and updates so that you know your pet is happy and healthy while you are away. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet! I work fulltime Mon-Fri. I can visit before I go to work in the mornings, anytime during evenings and weekends, and I can do midday check-ins for a quick potty break or medications on my lunch break. I am currently only offering services in the client's home. I will care for your pet carefully according to your instructions and will be respectful of your home and privacy. I will make sure everything is locked up behind me before leaving and if you want me to turn the porch light on at night or bring in your mail, etc. just let me know!

“Alyssa did a great job with our anxious doggies! They seemed very content when we came back from our trip which is a testament to how well she did with them and how comfortable they were with her. We will definitely look to her in the future!”
“Virginia has an amazing relationship with our doggo. We feel completely comfortable leaving him with her for the week. She was super diligent keeping him (and the house) clean with all of the rain showers. It's also fun to receive her updates with his photos!”
“First time having Jenna to the house with two pups who take a while to warm to people. Then we get hit with a record breaking snowstorm that meant more days than planned and Jenna goes above and beyond to make sure my girls and my home are well taken care of. I am so thankful for Jenna! Wonderful ⭐️”
“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”
“Pamela was easy to talk to and give instructions to. She came to our house right on time, kept an open communication line with us during our trip. She loved our dogs and they loved her back. She left our home as clean or cleaner than we left it. Towels and bedding were clean and ready for our arrival home. Thank you Pamela. Until next time. The Roberts family.”
“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!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Claycomo
Brooklyn came right in and took charge, and Tufa took to her very quickly. She didn't get a ton of acclimation time or instruction due to short notice for care, and my crazy busy day. I was impressed with how at ease she was with the situation and that made it so much easier for me. Brooklyn definitely cares about providing top notch care for your pets, I highly recommend her and hope to have her care for Tufa again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Claycomo on Rover is $37.45 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,503 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 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.

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.
