I am very confident that your fur baby will love me and I will love and take great care of them. Lots of Hugs and snuggles coming your pets way. I am home everyday and would love to spoil your little fur baby while you are away We love to play and keep your pet company.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I currently have two cats and have previously lived with multiple cats and dogs, so I’m comfortable with different personalities and routines. During college, I regularly cared for friends’ pets over school breaks, including feeding, walks, litter box cleaning, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m patient, dependable, and committed to keeping pets happy, safe, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m generally available on weekday mornings and during the daytime on weekends. I do my best to keep my schedule flexible and will always communicate promptly to confirm availability for your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your care instructions, respect your home, and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Agne is wonderful! I was able to enjoy my trip without worries knowing that my dog was in such good hands. In every photo, it was clear that my dog was having a great time 💕 best sitter ever!”
About: I'm a retired officer, background-checked through Rover, and have more than 10 years of experience caring for my own dogs as well as friends', family members', and clients' pets. Throughout my career and personal life, responsibility, trustworthiness, and attention to detail have always been important to me, and I bring those same qualities to every pet I care for. In 2016, I adopted Barney the Shih Tzu, followed by Jack in 2019. Both were estimated to be about four years old at the time. In 2025, Jack passed away from bone cancer, giving me firsthand experience caring for a senior dog with significant medical needs. In 2022, I rescued Penny, the white pup in my profile photo. Certifications & Experience • Cat & Dog First Aid (American Red Cross) • Experience administering oral medications • Experience caring for senior pets and pets with special needs • Experience caring for dogs and cats of various ages, sizes, and temperaments, including a large Rottweiler I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, consistency, and individualized care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, senior and slower-paced, or simply happiest sticking to a familiar routine, my goal is to provide dependable care while helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I'm home much of the time. This allows me to provide regular companionship, potty breaks, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. Because I intentionally limit the number of pets I care for at one time, I am able to provide a more personalized level of attention and maintain a calmer environment for the pets in my care. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. Consistency helps pets feel comfortable, secure, and relaxed while their owners are away. My schedule is generally flexible, allowing me to accommodate a variety of care needs, including daycare, overnight care, drop-in visits, and pet sitting in a client's home. Pick-up and drop-off service may be available depending on distance and scheduling. My dogs are part of the family and spend much of their time relaxing near us, on the furniture, or curled up on a lap. Visiting pets are treated with the same level of care, attention, and companionship while in my home. Dogs are welcome on furniture unless owners request otherwise. I intentionally limit the number of guest dogs I accept at one time to help create a calm, safe, and low-stress environment. This allows me to provide close supervision and a more personalized experience than many high-volume pet care settings. If you prefer your dog to be crated for sleeping, feeding, or when unattended, I'm happy to accommodate as long as a crate is provided. Visiting dogs should be reasonably housebroken, with exceptions considered on a case-by-case basis for puppies and special circumstances. Meet-and-greets are strongly preferred whenever possible before services begin. They allow me to learn about your pet's personality, needs, and comfort level while helping determine whether my home and care style are a good fit. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the owner's home, providing dependable care, companionship, exercise, and attentive supervision. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, consistency, and respect. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed, secure, and well cared for while their owners are away.
About: I have had my own dogs for 28 years now and I love my dogs. The animals have contributed to my family life is such a positive way. I feed my dogs by 7:00 am and dinner at 5:00 pm. I walk them twice a day and take them to the dog park. My yard is fenced in, and my gates are locked with a padlock. My dogs have a doggie door so that they can come in or out of the house.
About: Need someone you can trust to care for your furry family while you're away? I'm a lifelong animal lover and proud cat mom to Aster Blue, my sweet 11-year-old boy who loves other animals, too! I offer attentive, loving pet care, whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, or keeping your pets comfortable in their own home. I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs, and I'll treat your furry family with the same patience, affection, and care I give my own. Available seven days a week and around for holiday pet sitting. I'd love to meet your four-legged family! I currently work part-time, locally, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available mornings, afternoons and evenings as well as all weekend long. I have a fenced yard and a friendly cat to keep your fur babies company, as well as a park nearby where I can take dogs to play.
About: I can provide you with peace of mind and your fur baby lots of attention and love while you’re away. I enjoy hiking and take daily walks on the Iron Horse Trail (and would love it if your pet joined me🐾). I’ve previously volunteered at animal shelters, have grown up with dogs, had a dog of my own for the past 10 years, and was even a Junior Docent at a zoo! I’ve been taking care of animals (dogs and cats specifically) for many years now. My schedule and day revolves around their needs and exercise. I always make sure to spend time outside and interact with them to make sure they know they’re loved. In my clients home I would care for their pets by first establishing what their feeding schedule is, where the food is kept, and any/all quirks your pet might have!
“Antonio was super reliable, patient, communicative, and flexible in meeting the needs of my sweet pup who is pretty nervous when meeting new people. He was happy to go at her pace and adjust the walking plan to help make sure my pup felt comfortable!”
About: I dog sit of my friend dog once a while for almost 5 years. She normally stay with me more than 7 days. I’m good at take her out for a walk even during raining day. I love to give them belly rub. I spend most of my weekend at home so I have time to take care pet during the weekend. I like to take pet wherever I go, otherwise I feel bad for leave them at home for a long time. I live in a two story townhouse with 2 bedrooms, offering plenty of space for small dogs to comfortably move around and go up and down the stairs. There’s a community park right outside my home, and I love spending time outdoors. I’m happy to take dogs on long walks and make sure they get plenty of exercise and fresh air, especially if they enjoy being active.
“Melissa was outstanding and super professional. It was nice not to have to worry about the care of Buddy so I could have space to care for my Mom. Buddy came back happy and exercised. Highly recommend.”
“Billie is madly in love with Mike! He is fun and sweet with Billie while also setting boundaries that helps her learn better behavior. He is also helpful in guiding me in my care for Billie - I appreciate getting advice from a dog trainer who is getting to know Billie better and better. Thank you!”

The average cost of Dog Walking in Clayton is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $39 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Clayton. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Clayton after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Clayton. On Rover:
- 84% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
