“Tammy has done a wonderful job taking my dog for daily walks this week. She is easy to communicate with, knowledgable and comfortable with pet care, and reliable. I look forward to her continued help with dog walking.”

“Sarah was AMAZING. We had a spontaneous day trip the pups couldn’t join, and Sarah fit them in her schedule last minute! She made time to meet them while we were home so we were all more comfortable. My timid baby hid in his bed and almost refused any walks, water, or food. Sarah was patient and knowledgeable, and was able to coerce him out and appropriately rewarded him. Her care, communication, and adorable pictures kept us from worrying about leaving our babies overnight. HIGHLY recommend!”

“Prompt, reliable, capable and could be a professional pet photographer all describe Hayley. She has been walking my 4 month old Golden Retriever puppy for several weeks. She arrives at the requested time, she's patient with my energetic puppy and takes the best pictures (I've posted them on social media and my friends absolutely LOVE her!). She communicates in a timely manner. I work FT and need someone I can depend on to care for my pet, and Hayley has done a fantastic job doing it. Thank you so much.”


About: Just a dog mom and passionate animal lover with a dream of spoiling every fur baby in STL. I own a large, reactive senior dog that is my pride and joy so I’m well versed in reactive dogs with spicy personalities. Disclaimer: I’m a physician with unpredictable hours but I know my schedule months in advance so we’ll work together to find a good routine. I will always be transparent if I can’t provide the care needed due to time constraints. I’m comfortable with dogs of any size, age, or medical needs and cats are more than welcome to join the gang ! My schedule varies due to switching between clinic and hospital rotations every month. I’m usually available in the evenings and weekends. I know my schedule months in advance so will depend on what service you're looking for and what dates Unfortunately, my dog is not friendly with other animals so I cannot provide boarding. I can only offer house sitting if able to alternate between my home and yours
About: I have 6 years of experience caring for cats and 3 years with dogs. I trained my dog when he was a puppy, rescued stray cats and helped a lost dog find a new home. Also introduce my second cat who is a strayed cat to my first cat. I’m currently in my gap year so I have lots of time to caring your cat or dogs (also puppy!) Pet care fits into my daily routine as I enjoy spending time training, feeding, and playing with them. Boarding pets will have their own bedroom, and share the living room with/without resident cats depending on how they get along. I have a safe environment at home. There’s no child in home. Additionally, I have experience with pet training and caring for both rescueds and domestic pets. I ensure a loving and secure atmosphere for your furry companions.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life. Over the last 6 years I’ve supported friends with short term care and fostered dogs Mikki has have a pretty flexible work schedule with a traditional schedule of 9am-5pm, Monday- Fridays, that can allow her to check in mid day for walks, feeding, or belly rubs. I pet sit for friends, walk and check in on their dogs when needed, and have fostered dogs. I’m comfortable and experienced in small and large dogs.

About: My experience with animals comes from caring for pets throughout my life, including my own dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with the everyday responsibilities that come with pet care, such as feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning, maintaining routines, and providing companionship. I’ve also helped care for kittens from birth, which gave me hands-on experience with young animals and taught me the importance of patience, cleanliness, observation, and consistency. I understand that every pet is different, and I make an effort to learn each pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs rather than treating every animal the same. Besides my taking care of my own pets my time is free I’m currently unemployed just a full time pet mom and wouldn’t mind taking care of other pets like my own I Have family that helps me take care of my pets at home if needed I also make sure my pets have everything they need when I leave according to how long I will be gone so no need to bring them with me
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 9. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. Pet care fits into my schedule because I’m at home numerous times throughout the day with me being a personal trainer. My clients are scattered through out the day so it makes it easy to take care of pets while during my down times in the day! I have a pretty good sized back yard that is great for my two dogs as well as a fenced in back yard. We often have our friends dogs over as well and there is always plenty of space for them all.
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. My first word was my neighbor’s dog’s name, Ashley! I have been a trusted dog, cat, lizard, and fish sitter for 10 years, and would love to continue! I have experience with elderly and young dogs, and administering medication. I recently got a full time position and am looking for something to do on the side. I am punctual, and patient. I know how it feels to love a pet with your whole heart (even if that pet wasn't mine). I have weekends free, and am free for walks around lunch and in the evening on Mondays and Wednesdays. I have never met a dog I didn’t love and I would love to meet yours! I’m currently working full time but work from home Monday and Friday. Right down the street from Tower Grove Park, where it’s sniff heaven! I love to go for walks and can fit them in the morning, evening and around noon. I don’t have a fenced in back yard but I’m more than happy to go on long walks and training/sniff activities to work through some energy and add some mental stimulation!
About: I'm a devoted dog enthusiast who loves spending time with pups of all shapes and sizes! My primary passion is active dog walking, ensuring your furry friend gets the exercise and mental stimulation they need to thrive. I've also gained valuable experience with in-home dog sitting, providing comfortable and attentive care in their familiar surroundings. My background includes caring for a variety of dogs, focusing on their individual needs and routines. Whether it's a brisk walk around the neighborhood or a relaxing evening at home, I prioritize your pet's happiness and safety." What Sets Me Apart "What makes me a great choice for your pet is my enthusiasm for outdoor adventures combined with my commitment to personalized, loving care. I genuinely enjoy long walks and exploring new routes, making sure your dog gets more than just a quick stroll. For in-home stays, I focus on creating a stress-free environment, sticking closely to your pet's routine, and giving them plenty of belly rubs and playtime. I believe in clear and consistent communication, providing you with regular photo updates and quick check-ins so you always know how your dog is doing. While I may not be a professional trainer, I'm highly attentive to dog behavior and dedicated to ensuring your pet feels comfortable, safe, and happy under my care. My goal is to be a reliable and caring presence for your dog, giving you peace of mind while you're away. My schedule is quite flexible, allowing me to provide attentive care for your pets. I have fixed free days every Thursday and Friday, which are perfect for extended visits, multiple walks, or full-day care. On other days, I'm happy to work around your needs. If you have specific dates in the future that require my assistance, I can request time off from my other commitments well in advance to ensure I'm available for your furry family members. This flexibility allows me to offer consistent and reliable care tailored to your pet's routine. When caring for your beloved pets, safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are my absolute top priorities. As I'll be caring for your pet in your home, I focus on maintaining their established routine and familiar surroundings to minimize any stress or disruption. I am meticulous about following your precise instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication administration, and playtime, ensuring complete consistency. You can trust that I will treat your home with the utmost respect and care, prioritizing home security during my visits. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and positive environment for your pet, just as if you were there yourself. You can have complete peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy, secure, and thriving under my attentive care.

About: As someone who has had dogs since the age of 5, sometimes 5 dogs at once, I know a thing or two about prioritizing the needs of dogs, small or large, shy or rowdy, alike. I currently work full time evenings as a hospitality professional but am free in the mornings and afternoons daily for walks and drop-ins. While I am a big lover of dogs, I do consider my personality to be that more of a cat. With that, I am also very comfortable with cats (I have had two) if the opportunity arises. While post-grad living and apartment rules don't allow me to currently love on a pet of my own, I would love to help care and love on yours!
“Anna was so great with walking our dog, Cleo! She came over the day before to learn about Cleo’s routines & get a layout of the house and yard. Anna walked Cleo & played fetch with her in the yard. She also sent pictures :) we will definitely be using Anna in the future for our drop-in and walking needs!”

About: My first and foremost goal is to care for you pet the way I would want someone to care for mine. I’ve lived with many animals over the years and I’m never happier than I am with pets. I am currently a college student with classes in the mornings and afternoons, however I have vast availability through the day and I am free anytime after 11 except on mondays. Your pets happiness is my first priority, I offer in home visits to give them some necessary love and attention as well as dog walking services to help get their energy out.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Clayton
Julie is a wonderful and exceptionally caring sitter. We are always able to breathe comfortably and have peace of mind while we are gone. She caters to all our dog’s needs and then some. She goes above and beyond to ensure our baby is well taken care of. We really appreciate all the wonderful pictures, videos; and updates that lets us stay attached to our dog even when we’re half a world away.

Megan helped take care of our golden retriever while we were out of town on vacation. Megan was very thoughtful and kind with his specific needs (training collar, trying to eat EVERYTHING). Amazing communication and quick to respond to our messages as well! We highly recommend Megan for any of your pet sitting needs!!

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 Clayton. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Clayton after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
