“It was our first time leaving Vinny and Gatsby for an entire week, so we were definitely anxious about leaving our boys. Before our trip, Julia stopped by to meet them and go over all the little details of their care. She was incredibly attentive and made sure she understood everything they needed. By our first night away, all of my anxiety was gone. Julia sent us photos and updates about the boys, and I immediately knew they were in great hands. We were able to truly enjoy our honeymoon knowing Vinny and Gatsby were being well taken care of, with updates throughout the day that gave us so much peace of mind. Our boys absolutely loved her, and she took such amazing care of them! She even helped us fill up our bird feeder, so literally everyone was taken care of. 😂 We will 100000000% book Julia again! ❤️”
“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!!”
“Gianna is wonderful. My pups feel so comfortable with her, she follows whatever info I leave her to make it easier, she spends time with them and leaves me a detailed note to keep me updated on how they are. I am happy to have found her and will continue to book her for my pups!”
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.
“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!!”
“Ashley and her wife have been absolutely wonderful with my dog Taz. They stop by Monday through Friday while I’m at work, and I’ve had complete peace of mind knowing he’s in such caring hands. Not only do they take great care of him, but Ashley has also been working with Taz on commands, which has made such a positive difference. She’s reliable, attentive, and truly goes above and beyond. I’m so grateful for their help and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter! 🐾”
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: I work at a pet care facility and take care of many different types of dog and cat breeds. Ever since I was a kid I knew I wanted to devote my life to taking care of pets and wildlife. Now that summer has started I have more free time on my hands and I want to spend it caring for dogs and cats! I work full time caring for dogs and cats but I am definitely available throughout the week on days I don’t work. I like keeping busy and this is the best way to do so! I am very comfortable caring for pets in my home and my clients home. I moved down south from New Jersey so i do not have any pets at home currently! So there is no issue with me having dogs or cats to care for!
About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life! I used to work for a pet store but I now work at a veterinary office! I’m currently working full time at a veterinary office but I am free most weekends to stop by and check on your fur babies! 🐾🩷 I love my cats as if they are my own children, so I will make sure to treat every pet as if they were my own!
About: I have been taking care of my friends’ and neighbors’ dogs and cats since I was 15. I have been hired to dog and cat sit during the day (for pets of all ages), walking dogs, and drop in visits to feed animals and play with them! I a physical therapist in a hospital and have a very flexible schedule. I am available during weekends and weekdays depending on the week and how my days have been scheduled! I have a fence and big backyard. When caring for others pets, I am able to let them outside with a fence or able to take them out on a leash. I also have a car if they enjoy car rides!
“Alyssa has been a great sitter. She communicates everything going on with your dog, keeps an eye on their food and potty breaks, and gets along super well with my pup! I will absolutely be using her in the future when needed.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for over 25 years, and I currently have two of my own. I’m the guy friends, neighbors, and family call when they need someone dependable to look after their pets. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or keeping them company, I make sure every dog is safe, comfortable, and well‑taken care of. Because I work from home, I’m able to build pet care right into my day. I walk my dogs daily, spend time with them in our fenced yard, and keep them active and engaged. That flexibility also lets me do longer drop‑ins or even work remotely from a client’s home if their dog needs extra company. Pets get plenty of attention and consistency with me. I provide a safe, supervised environment with a fenced yard, daily walks, and plenty of interaction with my two friendly dogs. Since I work from home, I’m able to keep a close eye on pets and stick to their normal routine. For clients who prefer in‑home care, I can stay longer or even work remotely from their house so their dog isn’t alone. My goal is always to make pets feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for.
“We have used Kerry several times and trust her completely with our two cats and two dogs. She's very timely, caring, and goes above and beyond expectations. We will definitely continue to use her for our pet care needs in the future.”
“Jess was amazing with our big puppy! 🐶 She took the time to do a meet and greet the week before, which made us feel really comfortable. Communication was great from start to finish, and she was so sweet and patient with our puppy. We loved getting the picture updates during the walk — you can tell she really cares about the dogs she walks. We’ll definitely be booking with Jess again!”
“Monica was amazing with our 2 cats, very patient with one of our cats (who decided to be shy and difficult eating). I would highly recommend her for your fur babies!! 🥰”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Clayton is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $24 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 7,664 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Clayton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
