“Brooke was great! Very easy to coordinate with and kept us in the loop for everything. Our dog seemed happy and calm when we returned as well. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
About: While I've lived with dogs almost my whole life, I adopted my own in 2015. She’s great with other dogs, though she guards resources, so initially she is a bit possessive. She’s happy when she can nap in peace! We also live with two cats - one is extremely curious and friendly with dogs, the other is…a cat. When your dog stays here, they’ll have opportunities to patrol the fences, manage squirrels, and bark at passers-by. They’re allowed just about everywhere in the house. We keep it pretty low-key here. Your dog will enjoy a ton of praise, along with lots of pets, scratches, and love. I am self-employed and enjoy a very flexible schedule. I wake up early to get a good start to the day, and value an organized schedule. The dogs eat breakfast between 5-6 am. Around 8 am, I like taking the dogs for a 2-3 mile walk in the morning (depending on weather, fitness, and interest level). They also have a large yard for fetch and running around. I live within walking distance of Baldwin dog park, so dogs with lots of energy may get an extra walk and play time! We do dinner between 5-6 pm, and lights are usually out between 10-11 pm. I want to make your pet feel as comfortable and safe as I can. Your pets will have a clean, full water bowl, food on time, and an environment free of waste. I'm an expert at administering medication, as needed. If your pet needs some smooches and scratches, I have more than enough to spare. I will follow your instructions to the letter. During the summer, foxtails are a big problem in for East Bay dogs. I’m meticulous about keeping paws free of those little irritants!
About: Hi! I’m Niraj, a lifelong animal lover with 9 years of experience caring for pets. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or just stopping by for feeding and playtime, I treat every pet like they’re family. I am currently at home the entire day so I’ll be able to take care and play with the pets. I am able to take them on walks, feed them and make sure they are happy. I understand how much your pet means to you—they’re family. That’s why safety, trust, and a stress-free environment are always my top priorities. Additionally, I have ample space inside the house and a fenced backyard with grass. I’d always be happy to take some pictures for you each day just in case you miss them 😊
“Natalia was absolutely wonderful with all 3 of my dogs! From the very beginning, she was a fantastic communicator and made sure she understood everyone's routine. She looked after Koa, Gatsby and Barley perfectly and sent regular photo updates, which gave me total peace of mind while I was at work. It’s clear she truly loves animals, and my dogs took to her right away. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!”
“Maria is responsive and reliable and took great care of our pet cat Kiki while we were away! This was our second time working with her and we already have our third booked as well. She is excellent!”
“Lisa is fantastic with our dog, Nico, who has a lot of stranger danger with humans. He barks a lot and takes time to warm up, but she stayed calm, made him feel safe, and became an instant hit with his love of fetch. It is clear she knows how to handle nervous dogs, and we really appreciate her time and effort to get to know him. We highly recommend her and are excited to continue to work with her!”
“I couldn’t be happier with how the drop in visit went! Paulo was fantastic from start to finish. They arrived right on time and made sure my dog was comfortable, fed, and had plenty of attention and love. I received detailed updates and adorable photos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear they genuinely care about animals and treat them like their own. My dog looked so happy and relaxed when I got home, which says it all. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again!”
“Stefanie is the best. She takes great care of my rambunctious 2 frenchies and they adore her. She's very conscientious and prompt and I know my pups are getting attention and being well cared for.”
About: I have been blessed to live with cats & dogs (and fish and rats too) my whole life! They are so important to me, and I will treat your furry friends with the same love as I do my own! I’m also a Registered Veterinary Technician, who graduated from Carrington College in 2024. I have vast knowledge of health, enrichment, and the well-being of animals. I’m currently available during the week and weekends from morning to day time for pop-ins, and walks, while my schedule is open now! I’m excited about entertaining your animal(s) inside or outside, or on a walk around the neighborhood, while keeping them safe and creating a positive experience for them! I love interacting with all kinds of ages and breeds.
“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: 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.
“Another great experience with Nicole. Kiko was a little anxious this time because of noisy neighbors and work being done in our apartment building. Nicole was still able to get her to play and kept us informed of Kiko's moods/issues daily. A few unexpected things happened during this visit but Nicole was on top of it all. The scariest was a potential evacuation due to a wild fire close by. Nicole was in constant contact with us and ready to take Kiko to her home for safety if needed. We were 5000 miles away and felt helpless but knew Nicole would do what was needed to keep our fur baby safe. We received updates daily that included several photos and videos. We are definitely grateful that Nicole was taking such great care of our Kiko. Thank you Nicole! We highly recommend Nicole and will book her for future visits.”
About: Hi, my name is Skye and I am 27 years old. I have always been very passionate about caring for animals especially since I have always had many kinds of pets of my own. I’ve grown up with all kinds of animals including cats, dogs, small rodents, and chickens. I currently have one cat named Pixel in which I love and care for everyday. I can guarantee that I will always give the same love and understanding towards your pet, just as you do yourself. Giving your pet the correct care and attention is very important to me and I will make sure that I always provide the correct service that is requested. I hope to be in contact with you and help you and your pet with anything you might need.

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 for Pet Sitting in Clayton on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 10,461 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Clayton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Clayton stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Clayton. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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 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.
