“Helen was so attentive, detail oriented and dedicated to our kitty Lychee’s care! She showed exceptional patience and kindness and gave great updates and took the best pictures! My cat is normally very wary of strangers and takes a long time to warm up to people but by the end of a short weekend, she was snuggling and sitting in Helen’s lap. Helen also went absolutely above and beyond and offered Lychee treats she brought from home to build rapport and cleaned up after her litter tracking. We would wholeheartedly recommend Helen to anyone with a shy kitty and would be more than thrilled for her to care for our pets again!”
“William was fantastic with our kitties! He also was gracious when my trip was cut short and i arrived home six days earlier than planned. I really appreciated him stepping and securing a refund through Rover!! We will definitely use William again and highly recommend him to others!”
“Anya followed all instructions well and made sure my baby Wes had his meds on time daily every morning! Very friendly, reliable, and wasn't phased by all the very detailed instructions I had printed out. Definitely recommend!”
“Paige is, hands down, one of the best pet sitters we've ever had. From the very first visit, it was clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after, not just the checklist of tasks. She sent frequent photo updates throughout each visit, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away — it felt like we never really left. Beyond the basics, Paige went above and beyond: she cleaned up a mess without being asked and kept the litter box spotless the entire time. Little things like that show real attentiveness and care, not just showing up and clocking out. If you're looking for someone thoughtful, reliable, and truly attentive to your pet's needs, look no further. I cannot say enough good things about Paige — I will be absolutely be booking her again.”
“Virginia is so great with my cat. Honestly don't know what I'd do without her. She's great and providing me feedback on her conditions and offering care to my cat when military duty calls.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. Big dogs, small dogs, lazy dogs, crazy dogs. I’ve seen it all and love it so much! I also used to work at the humane society of Missouri, so I am incredibly qualified to walk any and all kinds of dogs no matter the temperament, I guarantee I’ve seen it all! Hyper dogs, reactive dogs, shy dogs. You can trust I have the skills to safely walk your furry friend and provide love and enrichment! Hello!! I’d love to add your furry friend into my morning daily walk :) I am an outdoor education teacher in the Northampton St. Louis neighborhood and am looking to walk some lovely animals weekdays 7 am-9:00 am and any time of day on weekends!! I can also do walks anytime after 6:00 pm! As for daily in house check ins, I can also do those at the times stated above :) as you will find in my profile, I am very experienced with dogs and cats and other pets and have a deep genuine love for animals ❤️ I love forming a trusting relationship with any animals I interact first. Trust is the essential part of any dog/cat human interaction, so I can better suit their needs.
“Jessica was fantastic! She was very responsive and took excellent care of my cat while we were away. She followed all of the care instructions closely and handled my temperamental girl with patience and confidence. I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in her hands. Highly recommend!”
“Kati was great with my cats! I had to book some drop ins last minute and Kati was extremely responsive and attentive to my cats’ needs. Would highly recommend booking with Kati!”
“Summer was a delight to work with and our dogs loved her! She did as asked and always arrived and stayed for her drop ins as arranged. We would definitely hire Summer again for drop ins with our dogs loved:)”
“Tori was amazing. Our little critters were engaged and happy upon our return. Her constant communication, pictures and feedback made our trip stress free - knowing the cats (and the house) was in good hands. I’ve already put Tori on speed dial for my next trip. Totally would recommend her services to anyone!!”
About: I’m enthusiastic about caring for dogs of a large range of ages and sizes! I’m a runner and would specifically love to take your dog for however much exercise (running and/or walking) they require! I also am very much a cat person, and I have three cats of my own that each have their own unique needs. I’m currently working as a physician in training at WashU. My schedule is variable from week to week, so during weeks when I have lots of free time I’d be excited to provide dog walking services, drop-in checks on your pets if you’re out of town, or house sitting (depending on my availability). I feel equipped to provide for your pet’s unique needs. For dog owners, I specifically would be able to provide extra exercise to your dog since I’m an experienced runner. I would love the opportunity to take your dog on a run (to match their endurance/energy level, of course).
About: Growing up, there was never a time when there wasn’t a dog in the house, and I have been a cat mom for going on five years, so I am very understanding of the care that comes with each animal. Additionally, I have experience with puppies/kittens all the way to senior pets and know that each require personalized care (and I have no problem giving it). As an added bonus, I live with my partner, who also is a dog dad and everyday he gives his dog daily vitamins to stay happy and healthy. Plus he used to work at a wild life rehabilitation center, so he is very familiar with how to care for all animals, regardless of species, age or health. I work a hybrid schedule and currently have every other Friday off so I have plenty of time to care for your best friend. My work also allows employees to bring their dogs to work, if it’s something you’re comfortable with, I would love to show off your doggo! I am available for drop off/pickup anytime on weekends and after 5pm on weekdays. Plus my partner is a graduate student, so he comes home throughout the day to care for his own dog. I have a fenced in yard, so there are no worries when it comes to potty or play. Plus, I live with a very playful dog who can’t wait to spend time with your doggo! I also have a cat who is very tolerant of dogs (she probably won’t play, but doesn’t mind their presence). She is also very comfortable around other cats, she’s a tad shy so another playmate will probably do her some good!
“I came home to a happy and healthy kitty!!!!!! Taylor was very easy to communicate with and it was so great to know my cat was being taken great care of while I was away!!!!!!”
About: I’ve had a family dog for over 6 years and have helped to train her and take care of her! I also have dog sat for neighbors and friends all throughout high-school and a few times so far in college! I’m currently in school but my schedule does allow for daily drop-ins or staying overnight! I would love to be able to accommodate requests to the best of my abilities! Anything that is asked of a pet parent I am willing to do for the care of your animal! I can take walks, simply check in with your pet, or stay overnight if you’re away!

Sarah is excellent! This marked the second time she watched my cat, and everything went smoothly. She offered plenty of affection and treats while consistently sending photos and videos throughout the stay. Would definitely recommend Sarah for your pet-sitting needs!
Paige is, hands down, one of the best pet sitters we've ever had. From the very first visit, it was clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after, not just the checklist of tasks.

I’ve never used Rover before so I was a bit nervous, but Katie was absolutely phenomenal. She provided great care to my two cats, who can be a bit skittish, but took to her right away and even cuddled with her. Katie provided timely updates with lots of photos. She even left my cats a goodie bag with their names on it!! I will definitely be scheduling Katie again. Highly recommend her services!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Clayton is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $23 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.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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 Meet & Greet.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
