About: Throughout my life I have cared for five dogs of my own and fostered three others! I absolutely love all animals and have a little experience training one of my own dogs! I’m currently a full-time online student at ASU and have a part-time job at the Clayton Rec Center. I am free most of the day to make plenty of time for your pets. On average I have 2-3 shifts a week that last 4-6 hours (normally in the late evenings). This gives me plenty of time in my day to care for your pet. I will make sure to have a balanced schedule for your dog and make it as consistent as possible. I plan to communicate as much as you see fit and ensure that your dog feels comfortable!
“Kymberlee was absolutely amazing! She was so so nice and listened to everything I had said about my cat. Her positive energy immediately made me feel comfortable and I knew she would be perfect for the job! I will definitely be rebooking her in the future.”
About: I have had, and cared for pets since I was 8 years old. Administering meds, outdoor walks, Bathing or brushing. Maybe they just need a good snuggle session or some butt scratches. You name it, I’m available! I currently work from home full time, so if you have an anxious dog the struggles with separation anxiety, do not fret! I’m a home body ready veg out with your pet! I have a large, fenced yard and screened porch, perfect for sunbathing and relaxing. It’s single story, so there won’t be any stairs to worry about for the older pups. I recently adopted a dog from the SPCA. She is around 5 years old, and just passed her behavioral test. She loves doggy friends.
“Rodrigo did fantastic with the pets! He sent photos of all the animals and showed that all the needed chores for their well being were taken care of. He communicated effectively leading up to the visit. The cats were happy and taken care of and everything was in order when I returned home. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve previously been a dog trainer, and have worked at several daycare/pet-centered places. Dogs are my absolute joy, and I can’t wait to meet yours! My work schedule is a bit up in the air right now, but I’ll do everything I can to ensure your pup is comfortable while you’re away. I make sure dogs go out frequently to potty, whether that be a quick walk on the leash, or letting them out in the backyard. Meals are given per instructions left for me, and playtime will definitely happen, if that’s something they enjoy. Otherwise, we can snuggle up.
“Anastasiya took wonderful care of our senior cat. She was responsive to all of my questions. She took care of our. Home as it were hers while we were away. I highly recommend her.”
About: I have professional experience caring for dogs, including handling, bathing, and understanding different behaviors and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. I am currently working part time, I perfer day time , but i am Available anytime any day for your pups needs and services ! I have crate trained animals , taught them basic commands such as sit and lay down. I have provided medication for pets . Fed and water pets. Basic care.
About: I have been taking care of pets my whole life. I have always have a love for all animals especially dogs and cats. I can’t wait to show you that your babies will be in great hands with me. I’m currently working full time, but I don’t start work until 12pm so I will have plenty of time in the morning to play and tend to your babies and I am off at 830 pm, so can always go back end of day to check on them again if need be! I will take the instructions of what you would like in your home and what your babies are most comfortable with, to try not to switch up their routines much.
“Second time booking him for drop in visits to watch my cat. So glad he was available to come stop by so Kevin wouldn’t get lonely all by himself while I was in Florida. After the first visit I asked to add a few more days and he easily added them for me! Thanks again and I hope everyone leaves him great tips because he deserves it! :)”
“She was great! Good communication, responsive, friendly, and professional! I wasnt worried about our dog while we were away at all because I was confident she would take good care of her.”
About: I know how truly important it is to find someone who’s reliable, trustworthy and professional when considering pet arrangements, whether that’s just a potty break or multiple days of sitting. I have three dogs of my own at the moment and have 12 years of care experience. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages, all personality types and all training levels. I typically have a very flexible schedule to accommodate most hours or need. Weekends, weekdays, holidays. I’m here to make sure this is a low stress experience for everyone. I care for my own dogs with daily walks, daily enrichment in the form of play or training time.. and of course, plenty of affection.
About: My wife and I have been the classic “they talk about their dog to much” people probably our whole lives. We’ve both cared for dogs for most of our lives but I’d say our real experience began when we nursed my soul dog, Chipper, through his senior years when he needed extra care. It deepened when we rescued our wild man Seamus together. He was a 2x re-homed pittie that we were told would never be able to be around other dogs or kids and he’s now our happiest, silliest, boy. Neither of us are pros, just your average dog people that know every pet deserves love. We know handing over your pet (and your home!) is a big deal, so we make effort to communicate constantly, and treat every dog like family. Also, if you’re out of town for a few days we’d be happy to take in mail/trash cans, water plants, or anything else that would help us take the best care of your home while you’re away. We are also happy to run or walk with your pups, even if they’re used to long distances! Whatever keeps tails wagging! Both Bre and I work from home so our schedules are very flexible. Between the two of us, we have availability any time of day for the most part and can often support last second drop in visits as needed. Seamus can still be a bit reactive, so we are only providing walking, drop-ins, and house sitting services at the moment since boarding stresses him out. We will make every effort to care for your pets and your home to the highest standard!

I've never left my dog before & was anxious about leaving her. I reached out to Larry & after meeting him & LIlly I felt totally confident that she would be in good hands !

I will definitely use Larry again & I highly recommend him if your looking for a loving, caring petsitter. He's the Best!
She was so sweet, and Teddy absolutely loved her! She was always on time and went above and beyond what was expected. I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands while we were away. I would definitely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about the care Bailey received! Finding someone you can genuinely trust with your dog means everything, especially when your dog is such an important part of your life. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Bailey was in such caring and attentive hands. The kindness, patience, and genuine love for animals really stood out to me. I’m so grateful to have found someone who treats Bailey like family rather than just another dog to watch. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their fur baby! I will be using her services in the future.
Bethany is wonderful! She takes amazing care of my pups who love to be rotten when I’m out of town. She is very communicative goes the extra mile and cleans up messes. Cannot express how great she is and how comfortable I feel knowing that she is taking care of my babies when I’m gone.
Courtney has taken care of my dog, Kala, several times, and every experience has been amazing. She always keeps me updated with messages and photos, goes above and beyond, and truly treats Kala like her own. I always come home to a happy dog and a spotless house. I completely trust Courtney and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Clayton is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $31 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.
As of November 2026, there are 4,006 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Clayton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Clayton. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
