“Kari is amazing. She is kind, welcoming and took the best care of our sweet animals. Being a vet, my animals are my kids, so I am picky about who watches them. I would, without a doubt, hire Kari back any time!!! Thanks for being so wonderful, Kari!!”
“Joanne came in on a last-minute request and did a phenomenal job winning the heart of my beloved cat. She did a fantastic job and put in a lot of effort to make my cat feel comfortable and loved. She was prompt and good with communication throughout the entire time that She watched my cat. Thank you, Joanne!”
“Gianna was awesome! Super reliable and took great care of our pets while we were away. They sent updates and pics, which we really appreciated. Our pets seemed super happy and relaxed when we got back. Would definitely have them watch our pets again!”
“We were able to attend a family event without worrying! Alyssia was on time, kept us informed & very good with Bogey! We were totally comfortable with her taking care of Bogey!”
“I’m so glad that I found Morgan! She is wonderful with my dogs, they just love her, she is on time, reliable, and her communication is perfect. Definitely rebooking!”
“Kate is an outstanding caretaker that we could not recommend highly enough. She is not only knowledgeable but also proactive and really thoughtful. Kate took care of our two cats while we were out of town for several days. Our one cat has diabetes and was not doing very well near the end of our trip. Kate immediately reached out to us and Rover and got our sick cat to our vet promptly. She went out of her way to ensure that he was well taken care of and kept us updated on his condition while we returned home from out of state. Her excellent communication and care gave us comfort that he was in good hands while we returned home. We know that our fur baby was with someone who truly cared for him. We are so so grateful to Kate and highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs. She's awesome!”
“We can’t say enough good things about Christina. From our first contact Christina was communicative, honest, polite, prompt, friendly, and caring. Her love for animals is obvious within the first moments of meeting her. She is thorough in getting all the important information - even things we hadn’t considered. She is great with our senior dog and our young puppy. She isn’t afraid to bring up any issues she’s seen our dogs exhibiting. Christina regularly shares photos of our dogs both to the app and maybe a couple extra via text. Her visit notes are detailed. We are thrilled with each interaction we’ve had with Christina and can confidently recommend her to anyone!”
“This was my first time using Rover and my first time asking someone I don't know to check on my kitties so I was nervous about it. But Alyssa went above and beyond for us. She did a great job and sent us a lot of pictures. She really put my mind at ease while I was on vacation.”
“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 😊”
“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!”
“Morgan did a great job taking care of our pups while we were out for the day. We just got a new puppy and she is just getting settled with crate training so it was perfect to have someone come play with her a few times, and send us updates so we didn’t need to worry. No accidents and all of the dogs are happy ?”
“Greg did a great job with Jack! He stopped by before his bookings for 2 meet and greets to make sure Jack was comfortable. He went above and beyond with the walks, hangouts and training. We’re excited to book Greg again and we know Jack is too.”
“Victoria was fantastic! Not only did she check on both of my cats, as well as being active with refilling things like their water, but she also did some clean up around the house that was absolutely not required. Would absolutely come back to her!”
“Jess is very sweet, caring and accommodating! She’s always on time and giving updates about the pups. She sends pics of her giving them attention and love. Thanks Jess for being so trustworthy and the best!”
“We loved Britney! My boys are high anxiety and can be difficult when we’re not around but she handled everything with no issues and made sure they got their medication when needed. Can’t wait to be able to go away again and have peace of mind our boys will be well taken care of.”
“Marissa was communicative and careful. She made my dogs feel safe and happy while I was away. She was flexible and made the process easy for us! Highly recommend and look forward to working together again.”
“Regina took care of Ginger for the first time while we were out of town, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was on time, attentive, responsible, and made sure Ginger was comfortable and well cared for. Regina was communicative in sending great pictures, which allowed us to relax. We truly appreciate the care she provided and would happily book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Monica has been so sweet, and willing to come on last minute visit requests. She goes above and beyond anyone I’ve met, even voluntarily cleaning up puppy messes or accidents he might have gotten in to after breaking out of crates. She always keep me updated and sends the cutest photos. So thankful for her, and love to continue my pups play time with her.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Clayton on Rover is $19.26 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 7,694 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Clayton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Clayton. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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.
