About: I’ve cared for animals for many years and truly treat every pet like family. I understand how important it is to feel at peace when someone else is caring for your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. I offer dependable, attentive care with a calm and nurturing presence. I’m experienced with daily routines, feeding, walks, administering basic medications, and making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. I’m especially patient with shy or anxious pets and gentle with senior animals who need a little extra care and attention. I had my precious doggy (the yellow guy) for over 17 years and held him until his last breath. He was a larger breed and I didn’t expect him to live that long! I also brought my Persian kitty (almost quite literally) back to life after he was badly injured-likely a car accident. He was on a feeding tube for months and I cleaned and dressed his wounds, prepared his liquid food and kept him going when I was 8 years old. He eventually moved out with me to my first house and peacefully passed away on my bed ❤️🩹 As a mom, I bring a natural level of responsibility, awareness, and consistency into everything I do. You can trust that your pets—and your home—are in caring, capable hands. I’m happy to send updates and photos so you can feel connected while you’re away 💛 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I’m intentional about being reliable and consistent. I plan my schedule around each pet’s needs, whether that’s morning, midday, evening, or nighttime visits. I’m flexible and do my best to accommodate last-minute requests when I’m available. Your pet’s routine and comfort always come first. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding, routines, medications, and any special care needs. I’m respectful of your home, keep things clean, and ensure doors, gates, and pets are always secure. I prioritize calm, attentive care so your pet feels safe and at ease while you’re away.
About: I’ve been around dogs of all sizes and personalities my whole life — from tiny pups to giant gentle giants. I treat every dog like they’re my own, with lots of love, attention, and care. Whether your pup is playful, shy, energetic, or laid-back, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home. I’m a full-time teacher who’s home for the summer — which means your pup gets plenty of love, attention, and playtime! During the school year, we are both off on weekends, holidays, and several breaks throughout the year. I work very close by. So a quick potty break is easy to accommodate. My husband also works locally. So there’s usually someone home for extra belly rubs and company. We’re a dog-loving household ready to make your pup feel right at home! Safety is always my number one priority. I treat them like family — with lots of love and attention, and always with their well-being top of mind. At home, I have a friendly black lab mix who loves to play with new pals! She’s crate trained and well-socialized. You can trust that your furry friend will be safe, happy, and well cared for every step of the way.
“Courtney was great taking care of my dog. I had her drop at lunch to keep the pup entertained and it seems like my dog had a great time. I would happily book her again”

About: I’ve take care of all kinds of animals (dogs, cats, reptiles) since I was 10 years old. I have always been a trustworthy person to take care of your beloved family member. I am a teacher, a dog and cat owner myself. I am reliable, honest and kind to every person and animal big or small. I’m a teacher who has open summers. I can come morning, afternoon, or night. I have my own dog and cats that I care for on a daily basis and I would treat your animals just like I would my own. I have a fenced yard with a very friendly, spayed Dalmatian named Blue. I also have 2 very friendly rescue cats, Graham and Mellow. I have a lot of space and experience.
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: 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.
About: I am currently a vet tech at a local animal hospital and have over 2 years of experience in that field. I have administered medication, vaccines, cared for sick animals that require extra attention, and have a vast knowledge of animal welfare. I have been a pet owner since I could walk. I have always cared for dogs from my own family, to relatives, to friends of the family. I helped my dog Lily give birth to her puppies and made sure they were always fed and safe, since Lily was only a year old herself and wasn't sure what to do. I'm able to give baths, I love cuddling and providing plenty of play time, and I will happily give treats to the best boys and girls I care for (that's all of them!) I provide a lot of pictures during my visits because I know how much trust it takes for someone to take care of your baby while you're gone, and I want to provide as much peace of mind as I can that they are being well cared for and loved. I am currently a vet tech at a local animal hospital, but have temporarily gone part-time to finish my Bachelor's in Animal Science, so I have fairly open availability to care for your baby during the week. I am very flexible and can work with you on providing times for care that work best for you and your fur baby! I have vast experience caring for animals in my own home, as I am also a foster mom for my hospital's rescue from time to time! I have cared for several people's animals in the comfort of their own homes as well! I have moved into a house, so I have a nice, unfenced yard for potty breaks and play time, or we can always go for walks at the park! I provide a lot of pictures during my visits because I know how much trust it takes for someone to take care of your baby while you're gone, and I want to provide as much peace of mind as I can that they are being well cared for and loved.
“April and her kiddos were amazing. They not only took millie on a walk but played fetch with her and gave her treats and lots of love. I will definitely use them again. So many great updates and pictures! Millie had a great birthday weekend with April, even if I couldn’t be there to help her celebrate❤️So thankful for you!”

About: I am a dedicated momma to 2 human teenager and 1 fur baby, Oliver. I've cared for multiple pets in our home, checked on neighbor's dogs when they're out of town, and also fostered dogs in need of a safe place to stay. We're a dog family through and through. I'm in between jobs right now so I'm available for walking, drop-ins, boarding, and day care and can take on short notice gigs. I can't wait to love on your fur baby! I have a very open and flexible schedule. I prefer to offer care M-F during the hours of 9:00 am and 9:00 pm, but I'm also flexible if the need arises! I always meet a new dog with gentleness and let them feel me out - smell my hand, don't approach them, give a treat, etc. I always stick to the instructions and routine provided by their family to keep the care as stress-free as possible for the pup. My goal in pet care is to make sure the dogs feel loved and cared for while their owners are away!
About: I am a teacher in need of a part-time job.

I have had experience with many different dogs of all sizes, and am able to train, play with, walk, and give attention to them.

About: I have taken care of many types of dogs, doing everything from feeding to walking to giving medicine to my aunt’s senior dog. I have even worked with a sweet blind pupper too! I have an open schedule to care for your doggos during weekdays. I am also available weekend days too, if needed. Last minute needs I can accommodate too.

My aunt who lives across the street from me has me look after her two dogs when she travels out of town.

About: I grew up on a farm and took care of a variety of animals. As a young teen I spent my summers volunteering at a Vet Clinic where I fed, walked, and bathed numerous cats and dogs. As I got older, I began to pet sit while family and friends went on vacation. I am currently off for the Summer, so I am home all day to ensure your furry friends are well loved. I am available weekdays and weekends. I have an unfenced yard with several trees lining the back of the property. Your pet will be safely supervised while in the yard, whether on the leash or off. Pets can be crated as needed, but are free to roam the house and lay on the furniture. Our home is their home!
About: Hey! My name is Lexi and I am a huge animal lover! I just moved back to North Carolina from Pennsylvania, but I worked with dogs at a grooming salon for 3 years.

My friends and family always call me to care for their pets, knowing that I will take the best care of them!

I definitely understand patience and confidence when working with any type of pet! My top priority is always health, safety, and the happiness of your pet. I make sure that my care meets their needs, routines, and personalities. When caring for pets in their own environment, I make sure to maintain their regular schedule to help reduce any stress. I can provide regular updates with photos and messages so you can stay connected while you’re away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Clayton on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of July 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 .
As of July 2026, there are 3,879 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Clayton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
