About: I have had a family pet (cats, dogs, fish) my whole life and have pet sit for friends and family as well! I also am a foster for a local cat adoption non profit. I work from home, and have the ability to keep your furry family company throughout the day and ensure frequent breaks to go for walks and get outside as needed. We have a big fenced backyard that is perfect for playing and exploring! We also live on a dead end street with sidewalks, perfect for safe and quiet walks outdoors.
“Raquel took great care of our dog Lilo while we were out of town and needed a last minute sitter. She sent plenty of updates and pictures and Lilo had a lot of fun playing with her dog, Sadie!”
“I can’t say enough amazing things about Deidre, her husband Chris, their kids, and their dog Cannoli! Our Ollie is afraid of most people and things, but they made him feel so welcome and he was calm and starting to open up during his stay with them. EXCELLENT communication from Deidre! We are so happy to have found another home for Ollie when we need one. Thank you so much for caring for our baby dog!!”
“Aubrey provided great care and is dog lover for sure. We highly recommend and will be using her again for sure. Thank you Aubrey for taking care of our little friends!”
“Highly recommend! April was very responsive from booking, through dog sitting & prior to pick up. She sent us pictures and kept us updated on how Bruno was doing. We knew he was well watched & kept busy because he napped a long while after picking him up.”
“This was our first time leaving our dog with someone that was not family. Cecily did promptly answered all our messages and made sure with pictures of Nixie to have us feel at ease. Nixie was well cared for by Cecily and we were so happy with her care. We will definitely book again.?”
“Zoey had a wondefurful 5 night stay with David and Phyllis. Our very anxious pup made herself at home quickly and enjoyed all of the attention she got during her stay. This was Zoey's first time work David and Phyllis, but I'm sure it won't be her last. Thank you both for taking such great care of her!!”
“Adrianna was great. She kept in touch with a handful of photos over the two weeks she was sitting for me and she feel in love with my Chloe. If we need a sitter in the future I wouldn't hesitate to use her again.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Amy boarding Ornn! His stay was a long one—9 days—and I honestly never had to worry about him while we were away. Amy sent us daily pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind and made it so nice to see that Ornn was happy and enjoying himself. When we picked him up, he was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. It was such a relief knowing he was in good hands for the entire trip. We’re so grateful to Amy and her family for taking such great care of him and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their dog!”
“Absolutely wonderful!! First time leaving our Sunny and Katie and John took care of her as if she were their own. Great communication, constant pictures!! Will definitely use again!!”
“Sarah took care of my dog Boomer well! This is the second time in two weeks we left Boomer with Sarah. It was very rare for him, a rescue dog who is very cautious to those outside family, not to growl to someone trying to reach with hand while in my wife’s arms. It happened to Sarah. It means that Boomer trusts Sarah. It shows how much she cared for Boomer while he is with her. I will definitely take Boomer again to Sarah next time.”
“Rebecca is always great with our dog and he loves being her “pack”. Her and her husband are great people and they are really good with dogs. They know personalities and preferences of each dog and makes sure they’re all taken care of. We highly recommend them.”
“Annette was wonderful to work with . Easy to communicate with around planning drop off and pick up. My favorite part was the videos & pictures she posted of my dog. I was so worried about my dog that he would be sad and missing me but he looked happy running around in the yard. In dog area and taking naps on the couch. I feel safe leaving my dog . Happy to rebook in future again. Highly recommend!”
“Juliana is a wonderful sitter! Meek got so excited when being dropped off for his 2nd visit at her house. She is loving and takes great care of Meek. Constant updated the care of Meek”
About: I am very good with dogs, because I pay attention to their body language. Dogs communicate through their eyes, body and barks. Similar to a person using sign language. Most communication is non-verbal and I definitely pay attention and make sure I treat every furry friend with respect and love. Dogs have feelings and like to socialize in healthy environments and that is what they will get with me as your dog sitter and / or dog walker. I will take your dog walking, I will check-in on your dog and play ball or tug of war with them, if that is what they like to do, I will provide water refills and food refills, even mix food upon request and follow instructions specific to your dog's need. I like to take dogs to the park, go jogging with dogs, belly rubs, hugs and playful affection. I like making dogs feel important, so they know they matter. This way, they feel happy and fulfilled while you are working or away on vacation, or away for that day or moment running errands. I am currently an entrepreneur. Trying to start my own pet business. Served, previously in the United States Air Force. Used to have an emotional support dog for 14 years who is no longer with us due to old age and health problems. That was my peace and joy who helped me through difficult times in my life. I actually feel happy spending time with dogs. Running with dogs, playing ball with dogs, training dogs, walking dogs, dog sitting and playing, cuddles and hugs! I make dogs feel important because they are our fur babies who deserve the best life can give them! I will give your dog fresh water, food, medication; if necessary, pay attention to their body language to figure out what they need from me to feel more comfortable and supported. If you have instructions or a routine I will follow those set of guidelines. I will keep all owners well informed with updated photos and possible videos on how their fur babies are doing! If they need a bathing that is extra, but I will clean your dog thoroughly after playtime. If, you want me to take your dog to the park, I love doing walks and runs in the park with your fur baby! Get all the extra energy out, so when you come home they are well satisfied and content. I have a house and a yard. Yard is not fully fenced in yet, but currently working towards fixing it or getting a new fence. My house is dog proof to keep all fur babies safe and happy, but there are always other options available to keep your dog as comfortable as possible. Depending on the service you hire me for pertaining to your pet.
“Melissa was amazing! She boarded my dogs for a few days, and the entire process was easy, straightforward, and stress-free from start to finish. She was kind, friendly, and clearly cared about making sure my dogs were comfortable and well taken care of. It gave me peace of mind knowing they were in good hands while I was away. I would definitely recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!”
“John and Michelle did a great job watching our little pups. They were responsive and friendly, and they walked our dogs frequently. Would definitely use again!”
“It was such a blessing to have found Katie to take care of our pup. This was Leo's first time being cared for by someone who is not a member of our immediate family, so I wasn't sure how he would handle his visit. But I'm happy to say, it was a smooth and stress-free experience for us all. Thank you Katie, for taking care of Leo!!”

There are 2,775 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Clayton. About 89% of Clayton sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

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 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 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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NJ ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
