“Shiori is a fantastic caregiver! Our three (3) dogs love her. She takes the time to brush them and play with them. I love the pictures she sends me; I can relax and enjoy being away”
“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.”
“Professional, kind, caring person who can think on her feet and easily problem solve. Everything you want and need in the person taking care of your fur babies. 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.
About: I worked at East Hills Veterinary Hospital for 1.5 years from 2023-2025. I have dog walked and pet sat (both cats and dogs) for neighbors, family, and friends for the past 3 years. My mom is a veterinarian and has taught me how to medicate cats and trim nails on mild tempered cats. I have 4 cats and 3 small dogs at home who I regularly take care of. I’m currently a college student home for the summer and living locally. I have a car and am able to create a specialized schedule based on what my clients need from me. I am flexible with timing and will only be gone for 2 weeks this summer, one at the end of July and one at the start of August. I have three small dogs and four cats at home. I’m used to feeding my pets, changing litter boxes, medicating my pets if need be, and trimming nails for cats - but only if they have a mild temper. I walk my dogs a couple times a week and play fetch with my yorkie Neville. I have a fenced in backyard and like to hang outside with them and read books and let them run around.
“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!”
About: I’ve take care of pets my whole life, but for other people around 4 years. And I’ve dealt with everything you can think of from senior animals, allergies, fighting dogs, to medications. I am currently working part-time three times a week as a hitting instructor just during the afternoon which fits perfectly into my schedule to come visit and give lots of love to your pets all throughout the day. In your home there are plenty of things I can do even if your animals have any weird quirks because I know my dogs have quite a few.
About: I've got a lifetime of experience caring for animals large and small. In addition to my professional pet- sitting experience I've had the privilege of raising and training multiple litters of service dogs for nonprofit placement organizations. I've had cats and dogs consistently throughout my life and have extensive experience with different ages, temperaments, and levels of care. I have a flexible schedule and generally have an easy time accommodating the needs of clients and their pets, whether it's checking in during the day, walks on the weekend, even overnight stays. Available for regularly scheduled visits or just coverage as needed. I use very positive and snuggle-based care with pets, unless they're the more hands-off type. I will stick to whatever care routine you need no matter how simple or involved.
About: Hello :) my name is sabrina I’m 27 and I really love going on walks and it’s always better with a furry friend! I’m so excited to meet all of your little cuties and explore the outdoors or just play indoors either way it brightens my day.getting the opportunity to walk or spend time with other dogs really fills my heart with joy and keeps me going everyday I hope I get to meet and care for all of your amazing cutie pies :) I’m currently doing online classes so I have plenty of free time to spent with your fur babies. I usually wake up around 7 AM and go to bed around 10 PM, but I am willing to adjust my schedule as needed for anyone. I have a large fenced in backyard, and one pup of my own who loves all other animals. and I also have a dog park close by for walks. And safety always comes first when I’m with animals.
“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: 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.
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. Additionally, they’ll take a daily hour-long walk (weather permitting), and if they’re high energy, frequently two. Breakfast is sometime between 5-7 am, dinner is around 5 pm. They’re allowed everywhere in the house except the bedrooms. We keep it pretty low-key here. Your dog will enjoy a ton of praise, along with lots of pets, scratches, and love. Both of my kids (17 & 19) are excellent caregivers, so we all share responsibilities. 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. 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.
“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: I love caring for dogs. Short or long walks, playing at the park or in their yard. When they are happy it makes me happy. Feeding time or treats always on owners timeline! I am currently not working so available to be with your pet all day! Feedings, walks, whatever is needed they will feel safe and happy. I like to care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable. I will be able to keep them on their daily schedules where they feel safe.
About: I have pet sat for my friends and family, varying from German Shepard, doodles, dachshund, and my own pugs. I think of my dogs like my own kids and I would treat yours like they were your children. Happy to pet sit and walk your dogs as I get my steps in! I currently work part time and have the capacity to check in on dogs and do overnight stays. I am happy to care for your dogs during work hours, excursions, or travel. I would walk the dogs depending on how much exercise they need and the weather. I would play with them and feed them and ensure they have plenty of water and get their potty breaks.
“Skylar was great with my cats. She took care of my boys food, water and litter boxes. She then gave them some quality time which I really appreciated. Highly recommend Skylar to watch your fur babies.”

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.
This was my first time using Rover and my first time using a pet sitter I didn’t know, so I was nervous about it. Lexx had great reviews so we set up a Meet and Greet which was so important to me for my peace of mind. The Meet and Greet went great so I booked her for a Drop In to feed my three boys dinner just so they could get a feel for Lexx without us around. The Drop In went well, they warmed up to her very quickly. Lexx said Chief took a little extra effort to get him to take a break from playing and eat his dinner, this can be common from him but I really appreciated that Lexx took the time to get him to focus on his meal. I feel confident it’s a good fit for my boys, now I have her booked to for a longer stay.

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Clayton on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 10,499 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
- 94% 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.
