“Lura is amazing, and I have her booked for many more days to come while I am at work so my new puppy gets the attention he needs. I am grateful for her time and effort today with my little guy.”
“Great sitter for my two dogs. Great reports and pictures of my dogs daily. She went over and above what was required, vacuuming the house of the dog hair for me, my shepherd sheds bad this time of the year. ! Highly recommend her and would use her again if the need arises.”
“Kaelyn was amazing!! We were put in a pinch with our usual dogsitter moving out of town, and Kaelyn stepped in with only a week notice. She's a great communicator and took excellent care of our 2 dogs. Our 2 dogs loved her!! It's always stressful to travel and worry about your pets at home, but Kaelyn completely eliminated that stress and put us at ease very quickly! Kaelyn is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!”
“I absolutely love Jessica! She has made my pup feel completely comfortable with her, and he’s even excited to see her!! All of her pictures and updates make me physically feel like a weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. Thank you Jessica!!!!🤎”
“Jen has been great! She is communicative and makes it easy to coordinate. Our (often skittish) dog took some time to warm up, but Jen was patient and worked with her to feel comfortable. Now she’s thrilled to see Jen and sad when she has to say goodbye. All around, an amazing experience.”
“Julia was fantastic with our 3 dogs for an hour drop in. She was on time, sent detailed notes about the visit and was super flexible with our schedule and needs. Will be utilizing her services many more times in the future!”
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)
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.
“This was our first time with Leah as our dog sitter and our anxious lab/pit mix did great. He was tentative at first, as usual, but warmed up to Leah quickly. Leah was on time, responsive and took great care of our pup. We will be using Leah again in the future!”
“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: Ive been taking care of neighborhood pets since I was in high school, 5 years of consistent clients, always have free time to take care of most animals Currently doing online classes in college so I have a ton of free time, I have 2 clients currently throughout the week mid-day but can work with them on time I always keep an eye on my pets in my house, making sure they aren’t getting into things they aren’t suppose to and keeping them on a consistent schedule.

“Arianna is excellent with our dog Casper. We are repeat customers using her every week for drop in visits and the occasionally house sitting. She is very flexible, working with our difficult schedules, responsive and timely when communicating, and Casper absolutely loves her. We know he is well taken care of! When we return home he is so calm.”

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.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Clayton
Jessica was amazing! Super friendly, easy to work with, and my cat warmed right up to her as well! I felt relieved knowing my cat was getting great care and love while I was on vacation! Definitely recommend and will be contacting again for future pet sitting needs :)
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.
Larry took amazing care of our dog, Shadow. He went out of his way to make sure that he was safe and comfortable. His empathetic nature led to Shadow being very loving with him as well (which is not easy with him)! He was very communicative and punctual with his visits and we would 100% book his services again.
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!
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.
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.

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 pet, 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.
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.
