“Usually when someone new comes into our house, our cat runs and hides. That wasn't the case with Kaelyn. She knows how to quietly introduce herself to a cat, and make friends. Kaelyn took excellent care of our cat while we were away. She came twice a day to feed him and take care of his needs, including play time and petting. We appreciated the photos and lengthy narrative of how he was doing that she sent to us for every visit. That made us feel that we didn't need to be worried about him, and allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation. We will definitely ask her to care for our cat during any future travels.”

“Jen made this so easy. She came to meet my dog (Zelda) before I left for my trip, and I felt very comfortable leaving Zelda knowing that Jen was going to take great care of her. Jen sent picks of walking adventures and fetch. It really was helpful and easy! She took excellent care of Zelda (and me).”

“Adrienne is great with my cats. One is super shy and unsure of life, she has warmed up to her during the second time Adrienne has watched her. Marco is also a bit unsure, but seems to also like her. I’m grateful for how responsive she is and that she is patient with me as an overprotective cat parent.”

About: I grew up in a multi pet household. I currently have a corgi named Finley who we give oral medication to daily and 3 cats named Jeepers, banana bread, and George. Finley is leash reactive so I understand how to diffuse any stressful situations while keeping your dog safe. I use rover often so I understand the importance of having a trust worthy person take care of your fur baby. Emma and I work nightshift so we are able to do late night drop ins such as making sure your fur baby isn't alone in the dark or going for a late night walk before bed. We are also home when you are at work so if you need a midday walk or fetch session, we are your gals! Either Emma, Mary, or both of us will be present for your fur babies. Emma has crate trained her dog so we understand if your dog needs to be in their crate for their safety and comfort. We will communicate when we arrive, how the walk went, send pictures, and if there is any additional help we can provide.

“We needed help socializing our dog that we adopted that was a stray. Anytime people come over, she will bark at them nonstop until they leave. It took Bug 6 full hour sessions with our trainer before she was okay being around him. It only took 15 minutes for her to warm up to Mollie! We can't recommend her enough! She is very patient and pays attention to all the little quirks!”

Suzie was great!! This was the longest we had ever left our cat and Suzie did an amazing job keeping her company. She left detailed notes which eased my worries and was great at communicating. I’d recommend Suzie to any cat parent!

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.

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!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Clayton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Clayton is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 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 4,117 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

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.

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.
