Elisha was wonderful! She last minute was able to pick up our dog walk request and was quick to communicate with me to set up times that worked best for us both. From the many pictures she sent of our pup on her walk, I can tell that she was happy and tired after! 10/10 recommend and I would definitely have her walk my girl again!

Mariah was able to help me out last minute with walking my puppy Maya for me when I was in a bind & I’m so glad she could & that we got to meet her because she has a great energy & now we have someone close to home to call on! You can definitely tell that Mariah is very comfortable with animals upon meeting her & it was only further confirmed by the fact that If was completely evident afterwards too that my pup really had a ball with her on their walk together ! We look forward to having Mariah visit again soon! Thanks so much again Mariah!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of multiple kinds since I was 12. Mainly family animals but I would watch friends pets as well. I am currently a stay at home mom for the next 4-5 years, so I have more than enough free time on my hands at the moment. I have a huge fenced park right behind my apartments so they are able to play all day as needed. In addition to the park, I have a ton of space in my apartment and a friendly dog of my own who loves to play. I have a variety of dog/cat treats and toys!

About: I’ve grown up around and been taking care of dogs since I was born! I love all dogs, especially goldens and bully breeds. I have experience cat sitting for family friends as well, and would be happy to provide your babies with the best care I’m currently working a part time job at a concert venue, so I have plenty of day time availability to take care of your pets. I typically have 1-3 shifts a week and a flexible schedule! I’m experienced with dogs from puppies to seniors. I can administer medications or just provide overall attention and play time. I’m a great communicator and attentive to detail, and strive to make sure your animals are receiving the best care they need. I’m also just a huge animal person excited to give your babies some love while you’re away.

About: Hi! My name is Allie. I am a 26 year old Respiratory Therapist and cat mom! I have been a pet and house/babysitter since my early teens. We’re that crazy family that has five dogs running around our house during the holidays! My whole family grew up around animals and it has been second nature to care for pets in my life. I’m very respectful of people’s homes and pets, and I treat them as my own. Rover🐾 provides me a fun job to meet new furry friends in my free time! I am very flexible with my schedule and I would love to assist people while they are away or need extra help while making friends along the way! Feel free to contact me for any questions. I work night shift at a hospital 3 times a week (7p-7:30a) and I have a flexible schedule, so I have a lot of free time during the day! I am a homeowner myself, so I understand the importance of respecting someone’s space and property. I know how valuable it is to have someone you can trust in your home. I’ll treat it as my own! (minus the cat hair😉)

About: I have LOTS of experience handling and caring for dogs and cats (and birds). I am the person that everyone calls when they see an injured animals or lost pet roaming the streets. My love for all things furry (and hairless too) is beyond measurable. I am ready to walk your loved one and make sure they are safe, and getting their excessive! Want a photo of your baby? No problem! Want a video of your baby? No problem! I currently work from home so your pet will never be alone for long periods of time. I am available most days anytime after 10:00 am. If you are looking for a morning dog walk just let me know and I can try to make it work 🙂 I have a fenced in yard. I have two dogs of my own who can easily adapt to your baby with proper introduction :-). I have kids who have learned to respect all animals. You do not have to worry about kids hanging on your pet or pulling their tail. Animals respect is first and foremost in our household. I also have two birds. They are out most of the day but stay perched or hang out on my shoulder.

Amrita was an amazing sitter. Our two dogs (chocolate lab & chihuahua) can be a handful, and she took great care of them during her drop-in. She followed all dog and house requests, was punctual, and communicated with us the entire time. We look forward to her watching our boys overnight in a few weeks.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Clayton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 4,138 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Clayton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 your Clayton. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Clayton.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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:

  • 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
