About: I’ve taken care of dogs throughout my life. I have experience caring for dogs big and small, of various temperaments. I also have additional experience via my volunteer work at a local animal shelter. I’m currently working part time with flex hours so I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention and excercise that he/she needs I live near a significant walking path! Perfect for walking and socializing pets! There is also a nearby dog park! Your pet will have the opportunity for plenty of exercise, socialization and enrichment.

About: I have five cats at home, each of whom I’ve raised since they were between 0–5 months old, and they truly are my whole world! I’ve also lived with and cared for dogs of all sizes over the years, from tiny Maltese to large Shepskies. In college, I even cared for two adorable hamsters. Whether your pet is big or small, energetic or shy, I’m passionate about providing loving, reliable care and building trust with every furry friend I meet. I understand how important it is to know your pet is in good hands, and I’ll care for them as if they were my own💕 I work as a scientist during the day, 3 days in office and 2 at home. I can fit walks/drop-ins into my lunch breaks at home and after work I can come by to check on or walk your furry loved one! My weekend availability is very open as well. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I know every pet has their own personality and preferences, so I’ll take the time to learn their routine and follow your instructions closely. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, feeding, medications, or just some extra cuddles, I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for while you’re away. I’m respectful of your home, will leave everything just as I found it, and will always make sure doors, gates, and windows are secure.
“This was my first time leaving my dog with someone unknown. I was totally against putting her in a kennel as she has never been in that type of environment ….(she’s 11 years old). I couldn’t have picked a better person to watch my baby. Deanna is absolutely fantastic! Not only is she reliable and trustworthy, but she always made herself available in case my scheduled changed. Rylee became quick friends with Deanna and adores her! Deanna consistently sent pictures and updates of their walks and Rylees general well being. This provided such comfort and peace of mind. Deanna went above and beyond. She watered my plants and swept up after coming in and out from walks. She even stayed later than she was supposed to in order to make Rylee feel comfortable. I HIGHLY recommend Deanna. I WILL DEFINITELY hire Deanna again. Jeanne, Mark, and Rylee 🩷”
“Melissa was absolutely amazing while taking care of my two cats for a week. She was super responsible, reliable, and clearly really cared about them. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands the whole time. She kept everything clean, followed all the instructions, and made sure both of them were happy and comfortable. It honestly made being away so much less stressful. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring cat sitter! 🐱💗”
About: Throughout my teen years, I’ve taken care of many pets; from training my puppies to caring for relatives’ pets. No matter the circumstances, I always have a fun time caring for these pets. I’m on the hunt for a part time job so I’m available all the time to care for pets! What better to do than doing something I love? I have three dogs at home and big yard but as we warm my dogs up to playing with others as part of their puppy training, we’ll keep your pets in your home.
About: I have experience with cats with health issues and giving medications. My 18 yr old has CKD and a few other issues he gets supplements for that keep him going. I have volunteered with cats at an animal shelter and helped with dog adoption events as a dog handler. My schedule is very open at the moment so I'm available for whatever is needed. I have 3 cats so I do need to be home several times a day to care for them. My cats are indoor only but I take my 18 year old out on a leash on walks around the yard, but he mostly prefers to be carried. I'm happy to take other cats on walks if they are harness trained, or just play with them indoors. Dogs I will walk of course and play with as needed.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Clayton
I don’t know where to even begin. Julia was absolutely amazing and our two boys just loved her! On the first home visit she came in, hyped up the boys into going outside, and gave them lots of treats. Our dogs are not normally around other people but they are also big babies. I would definitely recommend Julia and we will be booking with her again 😊

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.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.

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.
