About: I bring a lifetime of hands, on experience and a naturally calm presence. I’ve cared for dogs and cats at every stage of life, from puppies and kittens to seniors, starting with volunteering at a veterinary hospital at age 12. I’m especially good at reading animals and helping them feel at ease in a new environment. I work from home, and pet care is part of my everyday routine. Being around animals, caring for them, and paying attention to their needs is second nature to me. The best part of my day is dog walks and cuddles. I focus on helping pets feel comfortable and secure. I stick closely to what they’re familiar with and take my cues from the animal. 💛
“We love Licia and Pete and are SO GRATEFUL to have such a pup-loving couple to hand our precious Sachie off to when we go rafting. Wish we could tip more, but River only allows so much. I always get a check in call from Licia to confirm all details early on (so I don’t have to initiate the call!) and our little baby comes back super happy and well-taken care of. Thank you sooo much for another great rafting trip! We appreciate you!!!”

I will be able to offer drop in visits along with dog walking but I’m not limited to other services if needed! I’d love to get to know your babies & love on them while you’re away! Send me a message & I’ll see what I can help you with! I have a very flexible schedule & am Usually home everyday I Can easily do drop ins if needed or dog walking at certain times if needed. I like to do meet and greets that way I can easily make their time with me as close to normal for them as possible without the owner there! Keeps them much more calm to keep the normal schedule they are used to!
“We had our three dogs spend a day with Kathrine while we were visiting the North Georgia Wildlife & Safari Park during a week long stay at Unicoi State Park. They say they each give Ms. K four paws up for a fantastic visit for a total of 12 paws up. We unfortunately got a flat tire just before reaching her house, so we had to do a tire repair there and we got to see how quickly our pups calmed down around her as a new person and being in a new location. We definitely would not hesitate to use her again.”
“Julia and her husband and her father were FANTASTIC!!!! They are so kind and Pepper had the best time playing with them and their pup Sara Mae. We did not worry a bit about her while we were gone because we knew she was well taken care of. We will absolutely ask Julia to help with Pepper again!”
About: I am an experienced pet sitter and have been an animal advocate for over forty years. As a vet tech, I can also care for pets with special needs. I am retired and can devote my time and attention to caring for people’s pets. Our own pets are very welcoming to other dogs and cats. We have a large fenced-in backyard and a home with many dog beds and crates are available if that’s preferred. All pets are treated as members of our family. I am also available to visit pets in their own home, once or twice a day as needed.
“Meagan was great and our pups were well taken care of! She worked with us on flexible drop off and pick up times due to the event we were attending. We highly recommend Meagan for your pet needs. Thanks!!”
“Stefanie could not have made Maximo’s first doggie daycare any better. She is fantastic and I couldn’t be more grateful. She also sent fabulous pictures and videos throughout and after the visit that confirmed that Maximo had a great experience.”
“Our pup totally enjoyed her day! She seemed so happy (and tired lol) when we picked her up. Luna was a great playmate! We got a ton of pics and videos to see how her day was going. Kristen was so very sweet to us and our furbaby. We know she was well cared for and will rebook here again 💜”
“Thank you Cat, You saved our little girl from being stuck in a kennel while we attended a wedding. So nice you offered this service for visitors like us. We appreciated the photos you sent too. We'd hire you again any time! Best to you, Chris and Sue and Penny”
About: As a lifelong dog lover and current online college student, I offer a highly flexible, work-from-home schedule that ensures your pet will have constant supervision, regular bathroom breaks, and company throughout the day. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt to your pet's specific stage of life; I am fully equipped to handle the high-energy demands, potty training, and crate routines of young puppies, but I'm equally patient and observant when it comes to the quiet environments and precise medication schedules required by senior dogs. Ultimately, I focus on routine consistency, molding my daily schedule entirely around your dog’s normal habits to keep their anxiety low and make them feel right at home. I work from home and stay around town, so caring for your fur-babies is no trouble at all! If they do well with car rides, I am more than happy to bring them along to run any errands or to the ball fields! I have a large yard, plenty of room inside, two sweet and playful dogs to keep them company, and a 6 year old boy who loves puppy cuddles and all the play time he can get!
About: I grew up on a farm caring for all types of animals. I’ve always had to make sure all of them were feed and water. I’ve dog sit for family friends before while they went out of town and i had to go to their house and feed, water them, take them out to play and use the bathroom, gave them baths if they need them. I took care and dog sit all kinds of animals and sizes, from puppies to older dogs, and even cats too, all up to farm animals. I’m a stay at home mom to a 2 year old. I have a 3 year old male dog that’s unaltered. I’m available anytime to dog sit or board. I have a house with a nice little yard for your fur babies to run and play! I’m always going outside every 2-3 hours almost to walk my dog. Of course I will walk your dog first because I know my dog can hold it until afterwards
About: I have always lived in a house filled with animals inside and out. We primarily had dogs for pets and would usually at least have 2, from puppies to seniors I’ve loved and cared for all sizes and would love to care for your fur babies as well! There is no size too big or too small, I adore all very much and know how worrying it is to leave your pet in someone else’s care, I assure you they would be loved very much while in my hands! I work from home so I have plenty of time and availability to spend and care for your fur baby while you’re away! I do have my step children every other weekend so communication will be key if your pet is not child friendly and if your schedule will work for me, but I am open to working with you as much as I can! I currently have 2 indoor dogs, both crate and (mostly) potty trained. I have a mid sized boxer and a small mix breed, they are both girls that are dog and kid friendly and as sweet as can be. I have plenty of yard space(not fenced), a quiet road to walk them on, and a runner for solo outside/potty time. I do live in a dog neighborhood with lots of distractions so your fur baby would be kept on a leash at all times when outdoors
“Maggie was very excited to go to Ann’s house. We had a meet and greet the day before. Ann was very prompt getting back to me after my request and communicated very well. She kept us updated with photos and texts. We will definitely use her services again!”
About: I’ve cared for my two Aussies for over 6 years and my cat for more than 9 — we’ve shared countless outdoor adventures and even traveled through parts of Europe together! I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and nothing makes me happier than playing with them, helping them burn off energy, and snuggling up for cozy indoor days. Your pet will be treated like family — loved and cared for as if they were my own! I have 3 years of on/off use with Rover. I am currently at home full time until late June, and then unavailable until August with military training. My days with your pet are very flexible! I’ve recently moved back to my lovely hometown in North Georgia, where I now have 3 acres of fully fenced pasture and backyard space for pets to run, explore, and play safely. It’s the perfect environment for dogs who love being outdoors while still having a cozy home to relax in. No part of my home is off limits—we love snuggling on the couch or in bed. Dogs must be comfortable with cats!
About: I love all animals and taking care of them is a dream job. I live in the Franklin NC area year around. I was raised with Boxers and have been a dog momma for 10 rescues. I have an open schedule however I have a wedding in June and a cruise in August. I am flexible and can be on call if necessary. My pets are inside animals. I have 8 acres with a fenced area and 2 friendly labs. I never allow my dogs off leash unless they are in the fenced area. My dogs are never left unattended outside the home. My cat is an indoor cat.
“Hannah was excellent! She has a large fenced in backyard that’s perfect for dogs (and kids!). Her communication was timely and efficient. I received nice pictures of my girl while I was traveling which was reassuring. I would definitely use Hannah again!”
About: I have 5 dogs and a cat of my own. My friends and family have trusted me for years to take care of their fur babies while on vacations/nights away for years. I work from home, so I’m available to give my attention to fur babies all throughout the day. Your animals would be free to play all day. Your pets would be with me all day whether it’s taking a nap in my office or running around in the back yard with new friends. We have a large fenced in yard for all to play and never leave them unsupervised.
About: Hi everyone! ❤️ I have hands-on experience caring for pets through raising my own and helping family and friends with theirs. I’ve always been around animals and truly enjoy caring for them. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, providing fresh water, walks, playtime, basic grooming, and cleaning up after pets. I pay close attention to animal behavior and safety, and I understand how important it is to keep pets on their routine so they feel comfortable while their owners are away. Pet care fits into my routine on weekends, since I work during the week. I’m available Saturdays and Sundays for dog walking and drop-in visits, with flexible timing throughout the day. ✨ If you’re away or have plans during the weekend, I’ll be there to make sure your pet is cared for and comfortable. I make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, care, and a calm, unhurried visit every time. ✨ When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. ✨ For drop-in visits, I provide potty breaks, fresh water, feeding (if needed), and one-on-one attention with playtime and affection. I also make sure your home is left just as I found it. 🐾 For dog walking, I focus on safe, enjoyable walks at your dog’s pace, making sure they get exercise while staying comfortable and secure. I always send updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. 💛

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Clayton
I cannot recommend Licia and Pete enough. They truly treat the dogs feel like family, and our little ones were in a complete paradise of walks, play and cuddles. The care provided was top-notch, and we received regular messages and sweet pictures. They made us feel so comfortable leaving them, and we will definitely be coming back should we have the chance. If I could 10/5 stars I would.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Clayton commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in GA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 65 sitters in Clayton, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
