“Jess took wonderful care of our three pups in our home while we were away. One of our pups has special needs and she was very accommodating to all of his care. We loved receiving updates and photos from each visit. Would highly recommend Jess for your in-home pet sitter needs!”

“Alyssa was very thoughtful and took great care of our cats. They were immediately comfortable with her and it’s clear she has a lot of experience with animals. She also managed our older cat’s multiple medications very well!”


“Kara was great. She took care of my cat for a week. She gave lots of pets and documented (in pictures and in short write-ups) her visits with Monty. I would definitely use her again in the future!”
“Katie gave my one cat a pill every day and scooped the litter box while we were away. She came over before we left to go over instructions and said she would message us if there were any issues. We came back to nice clean litter boxes, and we did not get any messages so I’m assuming she was good giving the medication! Thanks Katie!”

“Aimee was great! This was my first time using Rover and she made me feel super comfortable by stopping in for a quick visit with myself and the puppy. During her visit she sent lots of pictures and was prompt with her arrival time. Will use her again!!”

About: I have experience with all kinds of animals including dogs, cats, birds, and rabbits! I’ve worked for 5 years in a clinic supporting a veterinary team providing treatment and wellness to all types of animals. In 5 years I learned how to read an animal’s body language and how to engage with all kinds of temperaments. I have previously worked in a kennel where I maintained the health and wellbeing of boarding animals with scheduled feeding, medication, and exercise. I’ve worked with non profits like the United States Humane Society working in a high volume setting providing medical care to numerous dogs and cats while advocating for animal welfare and wellness. I’m available for walks and house visits. I’m also available to provide daily feedings in the early mornings or the evenings 7 days a week if needed. My love and dedication to animals is one of the reasons I pursued this opportunity. I have had numerous experiences working with a variety of animals in different environments which makes me a great candidate to be entrusted with your pet! I’m always aware of my surroundings especially when working with animals in an unknown environment. I ensure your fur babies are safe and secured at all times with me.
“Madison was great. I felt confident in her from the meet and greet. Madison is a genuine and honest person. She has a natural interest in cats, she wants to take good care of them and she does, taking no short cuts.”

“Kate took great care of our kitties while we were away for a long weekend. She took the time to provide updates throughout the weekend and even took the trash out for us when we didnt ask. She went above and beyond and I would definitely recommend her to others!”

About: I’ve had dogs all of my life. I started dog sitting for neighbors and family members when I was 10. I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages. I’ve taken care of labs, pitbulls, doodles, yorkies, and other small rescue breeds all ages from puppies to elderly. I’m looking for a job not only for some college money but also for some pet therapy. I can’t go home to see my own dog so it would bring me so much joy to take care of someone else’s. I am a college student so my schedule can be pretty flexible. My schedule is very day to day Monday through Sunday but I have more than enough time to take care of animals for hours at a time if needed. I will follow any instructions given to me. I have no problem cleaning up after a dog if it makes a mess, and I have definitely gotten some dogs in crates with some tricks. I will always make sure the house looks exactly how it did when I got there, and make sure the pup has a clean and comfy place to stay!

About: Ever since I was old enough to stay home alone, I've always enjoyed taking care of pets. Overtime I've gotten used to walking, feeding, and entertaining dogs for my friends and relatives. I currently work 2 jobs, with Sunday as my consistent day off. Despite having multiple jobs, most of my shifts don't exceed 5-6 hours. Both jobs and home are not far from each other. I am all about adopting the dog’s routine whether it be playing in the yard and going for long walks, or spending quality time indoors. I’m always observing behavior, ensuring that I can take care of them to my utmost ability.
“Tara was fantastic! She responded quickly to my initial message and made it easy to set up a meet and greet. My dog, Leia, can be pretty skittish around new people, but Tara was incredibly patient, calm, and kind with her. She took the time to let Leia get comfortable at her own pace, which really put my mind at ease. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. I highly recommend Tara to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and trustworthy sitter or walker!”

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.

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 .

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.

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.
