“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! ❤️”

“Fantastic pet sitter! Maui loved her - lots of brushing and playing. Reliable and spent time with Maui rather than a quick pop in. We will definitely use Kari again!”

About: Hi I’m Kali! I’ve had dogs all my life, I’ve had all different types of dogs so I have experience with many breeds and sizes. I don’t work long hours during the week and am free on the weekends, so I have plenty of time to spend with your dog. I’ve volunteered at my local animal shelter in the past, and have dog/house sat multiple times. I’ve given doggie baths, clipped nails, given medicine, even trimmed dogs fur and brushed their teeth. I have a large back yard, live in a great neighborhood for walking, and live down the road from a park. I also have extra supplies for dogs to help care for them, I would love to help take care of your dog!

About: I’ve had dogs and cats for 21 years and have always loved caring for animals. My dog of 17 years just recently passed, so I have plenty of knowledge on how to care for older dogs as well. I also have experience pet sitting for family, friends, and others in my community. I’m responsible, dependable, and comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I’ll make sure your pets receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, and care while you’re away! I am in between jobs right now, being that I had a summer job! I have a lot of free time for furry friends! I am available all times of the day right now, and will change availability in the future! I will always prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort while caring for them in their own home. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep their environment clean and secure, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, food, and fresh water. I’ll also provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

“Regina took care of my dogs while we went on vacation. She treated them with great care and kindness. She sent updates with photos each visit. She even watered the plants, took in the mail and trash cans. She fed them daily and cleaned up after them. If you are looking for someone to care for your pets, I highly recommend Regina!”

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.

“Gianna was a super cat-sitter! She was timely and responsive to texts and really seemed to connect well with our kitten, Bubba. Gianna did everything that we asked of her (food, water, litter box, playing toys, sending a picture during her visit) and even left us some things for Bubba and a sweet note for us when we got home. If I could give her more than five stars I would. I hope to ask her back again the next time we need someone to stop in for him! Gianna was a real find!!!”

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.

About: I have 10 years of experience caring for my own pets along with pets for friends and family. I’m reliable, patient, and truly love animals. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I am a preschool teacher with a strong love for animals, and I am looking to fill my off-summer hours with pet care. My schedule is flexible during this time, which allows me to provide consistent and reliable care throughout the day and week. I am able to plan my time around feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs to ensure pets are well cared for and comfortable. In my client’s home, I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, and get regular walks, playtime, and attention. I also clean up after them, keep their space tidy, and follow any specific instructions for special diets. I focus on making sure pets feel safe, cared for, and loved while their owners are away!

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.

About: I’m Tyler and I am a freshman in college. I have been walking and sitting dogs for neighbors and family since I was little. I’ve started going to more abroad when I got my car in highschool and since then I’ve been sitting overnight, walking in the day, and much more. I have had many dogs over my life all different sizes and some over 100 pounds so I’ve seen it all and know what it’s like. I’ve walked over hundreds of dogs already and hope your dog can be my next. I’m reprisals, caring, loving, and most of all so compassionate for dogs. Please consider me as your next booking! I am in school currently but anytime after 6:15 I can do walks, drop ins, and overnight stays during the week. For the weekends mainly all day Saturday I can do walks and drop ins but only Sunday mornings from 9-12 I can do walks and drop ins. I can do overnights some Saturdays and Sundays I’d just have to let you know my schedule. I won’t have a home to take care of pets in so I only do walks, drop ins, and overnights in your home since I’m a student in school

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Clayton on Rover is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $26 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 7,741 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:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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 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.
