“Followed directions for the pets and communicated through the app for our crew for a couple of drop-in visits. Received a photo and a short message at each visit. We'll call on her again when needed!”
“Mady was great with my dogs! She even played in the floor with them. She went beyond what I even asked for her to do and I will definitely be getting her again soon to watch my dogs.”
“This was the second time Bridgette has watched our 2 cats for us, and she was wonderful! She kept us updated with pictures every day, and she followed feeding instructions perfectly. I can't rate her highly enough. We'll absolutely be using her the next time we leave town!”
About: I have loved and cared for pets of all kinds, sizes, and ages. I am well-attuned to the specific needs of any animal- all I ask is that you communicate those needs ahead of time so we can both discuss how to make sure your pet has a great time. Also happy to take care of any plant care/mail collection/etc. while you're away. For those seeking dog walking- I am experienced with large, high-energy, or nervous dogs. I can't wait to meet your pet(s)! I work part time out of the house in short stints- not longer than five hours at a time when I am staying with a pet. All my other work and school can be done from the home so your pet is not left alone for long periods. I love to play and snuggle with pets. I know some pets may be wary of strangers- I will give them the time and space to warm up to me. Please let me know how I can best care for your pet and home.
“Erin was incredible! Very communicative and clearly cares about animals. She watched my cat while I was out of town for a week and provided great updates/photos the entire time I was away. It felt great being on vacation knowing that my cat was being so well taken care of. Could not recommend Erin highly enough! Will absolutely be using her again in the future.”
“We came home to 3 very happy kitties. It was obvious they had been well-fed and given lots of attention while we were gone. Sandy did a great job giving our senior cat twice daily oral medication. We definitely recommend Sandy for your pet-sitting needs.”
“Knowing Serena is here to save the day, I feel confident my kitties are in good hands. She pays so much attention to detail, spends quality time with the fur babies, sends plenty of updates and pictures, and ensures even the most scardiest of cats is comfortable. Thank you Serena!”
“Skipper loves my dogs. He took time walking them, feeding them and even sending me summary with photos. I glad to have him help us. If you want to find a person who truely loves dogs and go above and beyond, Skipper is the one.”
“Bethany is amazing! I have a puppy and she handles him with such love and care. She is great with training and teaching him commands, she’s always on time, she leaves me great feedback, takes videos and photos of the little man and overall so loving and kind. She even bought him a toy broccoli which is now his favorite toy! Thank you for taking such good care of my puppy!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up on a farm caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, and many other animals, and I quickly learned that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. These days, I often help watch friends’ dogs when they go out of town, and I love spending time with my family’s dog, Stella. As a pet sitter, I’m dependable, responsible, and genuinely enjoy being around animals. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles (I love the cuddles too!), or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were part of my own family. As a college student who works part-time, I have a fairly flexible schedule and can often accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits or stays. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, so I make it a priority to follow their routine and provide plenty of lovin' and attention. Whether that means playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply being a companion while they nap! Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and favorite way of doing things, and I know how important it is to follow the routine that you, as their owner, have established for them. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or taking them on walks, I'll send daily photos and updates so you can stay connected while you're away. I'll follow your pet's routine closely and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable, relaxed, and confident throughout the entire experience.
About: I’ve had pets in my home since I was a child and ran my own dog walking/house sitting service when I was 10/11 years old! I love all dog breeds and have 1 dog, Rooney a golden retriever, and 2 rabbits. I work until about 3:30 every day but am available from 4-10 pm every weekday and all day on most weekends. I can also provide short visits early in the morning before I go to work if necessary. I have a fenced yard for my dog and take him on walks every day. I have him on a feeding schedule and potty trained him to where he has not has an accident in the house in a couple years (he’s only 4)
“Kevinn took great care of my Rottie this week when I suddenly had to attend to my dying father. We are planning on using Kevinn again in a month for a vacation. Kevinn was great in communicating with us while we were gone. We really appreciate Kevinn’s help. Not all pet sitters can take of a 125lb dog (even if they are a sweet baby), but Kevinn did great!”
About: I have tons of experience with pet care . I’ve been working with dogs for about a year now. I’ve developed skills in feeding and grooming. I’m knowledgeable about different pet needs, ensuring that each pet receives personalized attention and care. I’m currently working part-time, so i’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available on weekends and weekdays. Flexible with times during the days. I would provide a loving and safe environment. My approach includes regular feeding schedules, plenty of playtime, and daily walks to keep them active and engaged. I play close attention to each pets individual needs. And of course always ready to give them lots of love and attention!
About: I’m comfortable with all sizes and personalities. From playful puppies to shy cats. I will take the time to make sure your pet is comfortable and safe at all times. Daytime walks are preferred, but will consider evening walks also. I’d be happy to help care for your furry family member while you away or busy. I offer dog and cat walking as well as drop in visits. I truly enjoy spending time with pets of all kinds. Whether it’s a quick walk, playtime, feeding or just some company and cuddles.
“Susan is the BEST pet watcher!! We have booked her numerous times to watch our cat and dog and they both love her so much! We will continue to use Susan as our exclusive dog and cat lover.”
“Kaitlyn was an awesome sitter for our two kitties. She stepped in ladt minute when our original plans fell through. Excellent communication and my kitties seemed to like her right away. 10/10 will be my first choice next time we need to leave town.”
“Kimberly did a fabulous job taking care of our beagle babies. They loved her and enjoyed their time with her. She made us and the babies feel at ease. We knew they were well taken care of because she takes her pet sitting duties seriously. We will definitely reach out to Kimberly in the future. We highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”

I was a little nervous to use a new dog sitter for my 2 big dogs but right away Cody stood out from the rest. He came over to meet Zuko and Krypto and I was immediately was at ease. It was obvious Cody was a natural fit for them. Cody dropped in while we were on vacation, gave me daily report cards and pictures of the dogs which I really appreciated. I know the dogs loved him! It was nice to not worry about them while we were gone! We will definitely be using Cody again, thank you!

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Clayton choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Clayton with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
