“Dede was fantastic! She took great care of my boys, and was swift with a potty accident that happened after we left. Our eldest, Bilbo, has a tendency to show his disproval that way... but Dede was a trooper! She kept us updated on their temperaments the whole time we were gone. They absolutely loved her company! We came back and it was like we were never gone, they welcomed us without giving us the cold shoulder, couldn't be happier with how well Dede took care of them :-).”
“So thankful we found Paulo he’s absolutely the best with Dallas and now our newest MIA!! So communicative, very reliable and loves and takes the best care of our babies! We found our forever sitter!”
“Stephanie was incredible. She did a great job with drop-in visits to care for our two cats, Cleo & Bubba. She is very knowledgeable about and clearly loves cats. We are so appreciative that Stephanie went above and beyond by skillfully dealing with our significant ant invasion while we were gone.”
About: I am 20 years old and I am a positive outgoing guy trying to earn some extra money on the side before I transfer to a university. I grew up with a family dog and every morning, I would take him to the dog park and let him socialize and play. We would play fetch all the time and my dad and I used to take him to the tennis courts. And he would essentially run around the court like a maniac trying to catch the ball while we were rallying. The most important thing you should know though is that I know how to let your dog have a great time, while at the same time, teach him obedience. I am also available mainly in the mornings.
“Jessica was great! She was a great communicator and kept me updated with photos and videos so I could see my little fur angel while away. She even went above and beyond by offering to water my poor plants that I had just traumatized after repotting them! Jessica arrived right on time for our meet-and-greet and clearly understood how cats operate — giving Ree space to come to her first. I felt comfortable with Jessica knowing my cat (and plants!) were in such caring hands. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi there! I'm a dedicated dog lover with over 8 years of experience caring for pups of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Through out the years, I’ve worked at doggy daycare/boarding facilities, where I’ve looked after 20+ dogs daily. I’m comfortable with everything from basic grooming to giving medications. Whether it’s cuddle time, a long walk, or just keeping your pup’s routine consistent, I’m here to make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I have extensive experience working with dogs who need a little extra love and understanding, including those with medical conditions, mobility challenges, anxiety, or trauma backgrounds. Over the years, I’ve cared for many adopted and rescue dogs, and I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and gentle handling. I adjust my care to each dog’s comfort level, routine, and unique personality to help them feel safe, secure, and to meet their individual needs. Whether it’s administering medications, managing anxiety triggers, or just being a calming presence, I’m here to support your dog’s well-being every step of the way. I am eager to meet you and your fur babies and can guarantee that I treat every baby as if they were my own! 🥰🐾 As a stay at home mom, I’m home throughout the day, allowing me to give pets consistent attention, care, and companionship as part of our routine. I provide personalized care based on each pet’s routine feeding, walking, playtime, medications, and lots of extra love, whether in my home or in yours.
“For the time she was able to go and watch my dog I’m extremely grateful even when there were unfortunate and unexpected circumstances. Definitely book with her. She makes it easy to figure things out.”
“Myra checked in on our Akita, Koa! She has house sat for us before and was amazing. She was very responsive and provided updates, pictures and a nice walk for our pup!! Highly recommend Myra and so does Koa! ☺️”
“Sabrina is the best, hands down. Finding someone who can win over a shy rescued greyhound is no small task, but she has completely won Punch’s heart—he officially considers her his third favorite person in the world! She looks after Punch through a mix of weekly drop-in visits while we’re at work, daycare, and overnight stays. She is incredibly dependable, deeply respectful of our home, and always goes above and beyond (even bringing in packages for us). Knowing Punch loves her and is in such loving, trustworthy hands gives us total peace of mind. We couldn’t ask for a better caregiver!”
“I have rebooked with Susan several times for drop in visits. Susan takes great care of my dog and is very reliable. She always leave me detailed notes about the visit with lots of pictures. I can tell my dog likes Susan and her dog a lot. It’s nice that I don’t have to worry about my dog when I’m gone for long periods, having Susan check in on him has been working out great for my dog and me.”
About: Hi! I'm Mathias, dog dad to two Jack Russells, Baco and Biella. I've been dog sitting and house sitting for family and friends since my teens, including a three week stay last summer. I keep pet care to weekends so your pup gets my full attention: overnight stays Friday and Saturday nights, plus walks and drop-ins all day Saturday and Sunday. Expect photo updates throughout the day, your dog's routine followed how you want it to be, and your home left exactly the way you trusted it to me. I keep pet care to weekends so I can give it my full attention. I'm available for overnight house-sitting stays Friday and Saturday nights, and open all day Saturday and Sunday for walks and drop-in visits. That means your pup gets someone fully present! When I stay at your home, I treat it like my own: I respect your space and stick closely to your dog's routine, from feeding times and walks to meds. Before I leave, I'll tidy up your home, bring in mail and packages, take out the trash, etc. So you come home to a happy dog and a house exactly as you left it.
About: Hi! I’m one of those people who can’t walk past a dog without saying hi. If I see a dog while I’m out, I’m probably the person asking, “Can I pet your dog?” My child is exactly the same way! We’re both naturally drawn to dogs and genuinely enjoy having them around. Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Three of my own dogs were with me for 16, 16, and 18 years, and they truly became members of the family. I understand how much our dogs mean to us and how important it is to feel comfortable with the person caring for them when we can’t be there. Our current dog, Pancake, is a rescue and a small, friendly girl who enjoys having company. She’s an important part of our family and will be your pup’s little host during their stay! I also volunteered at two animal shelters, where I spent time caring for dogs with different personalities and needs. I am patient, attentive, and respectful of each dog’s individual temperament. I have a large, fully fenced yard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time. My home is a good fit for dogs who are comfortable around children and other dogs. Because I have a child at home 50% of the time, your dog must be comfortable and safe around children. I also want every dog who stays here to feel comfortable with Pancake, so I take introductions and meet-and-greets seriously. ❤️ What I Want for Your Dog I want your dog to feel like they are staying in a home where they are genuinely cared for, not simply being dropped off somewhere for the night. I’ll take the time to learn your dog’s routine, personality, favorite things, and anything that helps them feel comfortable. Whether your pup wants to run around the yard, play with Pancake, follow us around the house, or curl up somewhere cozy, I’ll respect their individual personality. During their stay, I’ll provide: 🐾 A comfortable home environment 🐾 A large, fully fenced yard 🐾 Regular potty breaks and outdoor time 🐾 Attention, companionship, and affection 🐾 Meals according to your instructions 🐾 Their normal routine as much as possible 🐾 Photo updates so you can see how they’re doing 🌿 New to Rover, Not New to Caring for Dogs I’m just getting started on Rover, so I’m offering introductory pricing while I build my profile and get to know local families. While I’m new to Rover, caring for dogs is something I’ve been doing throughout my life. I’m looking forward to getting to know some wonderful dogs and their people and hopefully becoming someone you feel comfortable calling whenever you need a home away from home for your pup. I’d love to meet you and your dog and see if we’re a good fit! 🐶❤️ I’m available for boarding at evenings and weekends. All-day-Thursdays are also available. Walks from 6-7 a.m. - Mondays and Tuesdays Walks from 5-6 p.m. or 6-7 p.m. - Mondays and Tuesdays My yard is fully fenced, my dog is friendly, and the dogs will be welcome inside the home and on furniture as well. I really want them to feel they are in they home-away-form-home
“Nykohl watched our 5 cats for 2 weeks and did an amazing job. She is flexible, kind and genuinely loves animals. She was primarily tasked with caring for my senior 15.5 year old indoor only cat who needs subcutaneous fluids and after a couple meet and greets to teach her the technique, Nykohl learned and performed perfectly. She was able to win over this extremely shy kitty, having her purr in her arms. She also was tasked to monitor the food and water for our 4 outdoor cats and was able to help out with unexpected tasks such as when the raccoons tampered with the feeders. Very communicative, extremely friendly, and willing to help in any/every way possible, we will surely be using her again.”
About: Hi there! My name’s Emma, I'm 25 years old. I’m a Dog and Cat Mama to three of my own fur babies, and work part time for the local school district. I've raised animals my whole life, and started pet sitting and dog walking for neighbors at 12, and I took care of the same animals regularly for nearly 6 years. Taking care of animals is second nature for me, and it's a fun way to help pay the bills. I do also have experience with epileptic dogs, elderly animals, and pets who need medicine regularly administered. Please feel free to message me with any questions! I work for the school district almost full time so have limited availability throughout the school year, with more availability during “winter break” and full time availability throughout summer break. I am only able to go to client's homes, I do not have the space to house client's pets. That being said, I treat and care for every animal as if it was my own. For client's I make myself daily checklists for the pets needs to make sure I never miss a thing.
“Sydney was so great to be able to book within a few days as our previous cat sitter fell through. She checked on these girls just as expected and I felt they were in great hands.”
“Thank you Amanda! So happy to feel that my kitty Bella was in great hands while we were away. Loved the pictures you sent of Bella (and the fish!) I appreciate that you worked out with my neighbor some extra details while we were off the grid. I appreciate the extras that you took care of and will definitely contact you again if services are needed.”
About: What sets me apart as a dog walker is my approach in handling dogs of all ages and needs. I have experience in basic puppy training, as well as providing gentle care and attention to senior dogs who may need a slower pace or extra assistance. I’m attentive to each dog's unique personality and energy level, ensuring a fun, safe, and enriching walk every time. I’m currently working part-time so I will have plenty of free time to play with your dogs! My schedule varies day to day so throughout the week I will be able to do morning, mid-day, or night time walks. When walking a client's dog, I prioritize the dog’s safety, comfort, and routine. I follow any specific instructions regarding leash preferences, walking routes, and feeding or medication schedules. I always keep the dog on a leash in unfamiliar or busy areas and carry waste bags, water, and any necessary supplies. I pay close attention to the dog’s behavior and needs, adjusting the pace and activities accordingly, and provide detailed updates to the owner after each visit, including pictures and notes about the walk.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Clayton is $29
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Clayton
Natalia was amazing! She was super quick to respond and immediately set up a meet and greet. She asked all the questions to make sure I didn’t forget anything. Once she got to the house she was amazing with Nina! She took pictures, mentioned that she ate, and went potty. She let me know when she was on the way and when she was done. Gave me peace of mind. Overall I would definitely book her again! Thank you so much Natalia.
Grace was awesome! Took the time to do a meet and greet before, and then followed up after the actual check-in with lots of pictures. Perfect communication as well. I could tell she is good with dogs by how quickly she was able to get my boys to play and be comfortable with her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Clayton is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $10 and $56 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 10,466 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Clayton. 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Clayton. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 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.
