About: I grew up with 2 dogs and 3 cats and have been helping take care of animals my whole life, so being around animals has always been a big part of who I am. I know how much our fur babies mean to us—they’re family! I love getting to know each pet’s personality and figuring out what makes them feel happy, comfortable, and safe. I’ve cared for pets of all ages, from playful, energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who may need a little extra patience and attention. I also have experience with reactive dogs and understand how important it is to be patient, stay calm, respect their boundaries, and pay attention to their body language. I also have experience as a Veterinary Assistant at an emergency veterinary clinic, which has given me a lot of hands-on experience caring for animals and handling different situations. I’m comfortable giving medications and injections when needed and when provided with instructions. Most importantly, I know that every pet is different. Some want to run around and play, some want all the cuddles they can get, and others are happiest doing their own thing with someone nearby. I’ll take the time to get to know your pet and give them the kind of care and attention that works best for them. I want you to feel comfortable knowing your fur baby is being well loved and looked after while you’re away. I’m currently in a transition period, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I have open availability throughout the day and into the evening, including weekends, and can be flexible to work around your pet’s routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep a consistent routine, and make sure your pet is secure and comfortable in their environment. I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, and other potential safety concerns, and I’ll keep your home clean and tidy during visits or stays. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you know how your fur baby is doing while you’re away.

About: I am a reliable sitter with experience caring for pets of all kinds.

About: Hey everyone! I am a 31 year old animal lover looking to pet sit around the Clayton & Joco area. I own my own business working from home and have wide availability. I am originally from CT and moved to NC to pursue a degree in Animal Science which I received in May 2016. I also received my MPA in 2018. I have worked with many dogs and cats over the years at shelters and with non-profits. Because of my internship I also now have experience with: chinchillas, rabbits, ferrets and snakes. I would love to petsit for you and am willing to talk to you about myself or anything that may be of concern to you. I will treat your furry (or not) friends with the upmost respect and care just as you would. This also applies to your home! I currently work for myself at home so I have complete autonomy over my schedule and can come in throughout the day whenever needed for you! I treat my client’s pets like my own! I have two cats and a dog. My dog and I go on daily walks and I treat all animals like family!
About: I've retired from the corporate world of account management and have been following my passion of caring for dogs and cats on a full-time basis with Rover. My clients love seeing how excited their pets are to see me and are amazed how well they behave when I'm around. On a typical day I'll be out and about caring for pets by dropping in at a pet's home to provide attention and bathroom breaks, walking dogs in someone's neighborhood, plus taking care of my own dog. Please keep in mind that when I am house sitting for you, I may come and go from your home in order to continue caring for my other client's drop-in needs and checking in on my own dog during the day but will be at your home overnight. I look forward to being someone you can rely on and trust! Please read my customer reviews to understand the passion I have caring for pets. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your pets. For new clients, I require a Meet and Greet at your place of residence prior to booking any drop-ins, house sitting, or walks so your pets can meet me and you can learn a little more about me to be sure it's a good fit. I look forward to reading your completed profiles especially the "About", "Care", and "Vet" sections.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Clayton on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

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.

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
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
