About: I am an animal lover with a bias towards dogs! I have had dogs of all different breeds and sizes throughout my life (including Rottweilers, Basset Hounds, Pitt Bulls, Doberman Pinschers and St. Bernards), and I can truly say that pups make the world a better place! I would love to walk or care for your fur-baby. I understand the sacred bond that an owner has with their animals, so you can trust and believe that your dog will be treated with the utmost love, respect and professionalism. Rain or shine, I can be available to get your dog exercised and back to your home safe and sound. I would love to meet your pet and to make your life a little easier. See you soon!

Shelbi is a such a caring person. We feel uncomfortable leaving our cat at home alone (we normally take him with us) and are so thankful to have found Shelbi. She takes such good care of our cat and completely puts our mind at ease knowing he is in good hands. Thank you for spending quality time with our cat and sharing pictures - they mean a lot and are comforting.

About: All my life I've been interested in animals. I grew up with a dog, a cat, and a snake, and my work in the field has involved all sorts of animal husbandry, from shearing sheep to catching alligators or banding songbirds. Sometimes I feel I understand animals better than people which helps me provide specialized one-on-one care to meets your beloved pet's needs. I want to ensure that they feel as safe, comfortable, and well-loved with me as they do with you! I'm currently taking some online classes, so my schedule is pretty flexible! Right now I have a lot of time Fridays-Mondays which I would love to spend taking care of some special pets. I don't have access to a fenced-in yard currently and would not be able to host a dog to the best of my ability. I've taken care of cats at my house, however, and have found that they quickly feel at ease in my home environment. My kitty passed away last year, unfortunately, but I am home often and will provide as much company and attention as your pet desires. I want them to know they have a friend in me.

Ashley was amazing with our two cats. She’d always let me know when she was on the way over to our house and gave me an update on how the cats were. We'll definitely have her over again when we go out of town.

Anthony was great and very responsible. He got along really well with my cat and made me feel comfortable leaving her in his care. Before the drop-in visits started, he even suggested meeting in person so I could go over the basic instructions with him. Over the next three days, he did a great job taking care of everything—playing with my cat, cleaning the litter box, and making sure she was fed. I really appreciated how reliable and attentive he was, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy cat sitter.

About: I am currently working as a dog bather and graduated from MVCTC Animal Care and Management. I have experience in small animals and basic training. I am currently working part time so I have lots of availability. I am available anytime on Mondays and Sundays and after 5 Tuesday- Saturday. Times and dates are flexible. I love to cuddle up with any pets if you or your pet would like. I can also easily crate pets and feed them on specific schedules as well as providing fresh water.

About: I love being around dogs. Showing them care and attention is something the owner would never have to worry about. I love taking them for walks, playing with them as well as just showing them alot of love and attention. I am retired with 7 grandchildren. I am flexible and easy to work with. I am open to all options and will do what I can to help the owner out. I have a big fenced in yard. I will do whatever the owner asks of me if I need to stay at their place. I am an honest and caring person that will be someone that will not be a worry to someone.

Emma is a great sitter for my very energetic dogs and also communicated wonderfully. My one dog was very stubborn about getting back into the kennel, but Emma was patient and even reached out to see if there were any tips. She did so well, I'm booking her for weekly visits.

Mandy did a great job with Jake, my cat. I was confident that he was being well cared for and Mandy did everything she could to make sure I was comfortable. This was my first time using a pet sitter and I was very happy and will definitely use Mandy again for my next trip.

Our family had to go out of town for a funeral without a lot of notice. We had never left our kitties with a stranger before and we were pretty apprehensive about it. But from the first meet and greet through our return home, Kayla did so much to put our minds at ease. Here are some highlights: At the first meeting, it was obvious that Kayla loves animals. I wanted someone here for them whose heart was truly in this job, and her’s really was. She also not only answered all of our questions, she asked some that we weren’t even thinking about (lights, plants) and took detailed notes. While we were gone, Kayla kept our kitties fed, gave one of them his medication, which we expected, but she also took lots of pictures and sent updates about her time with them. And gosh, I loved these updates! They were detailed, and some made me laugh, these updates also kept me from worrying about my pets during a time when I had a lot going on. I would absolutely request Kayla again and I would certainly recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter. We came home to happy and well cared for babies!

Great experience and we truly appreciated Yolena taking care of our 3 cats on such short notice! She gave great updates with photos, which put our mind at ease while we were away. She was extremely kind and followed instructions on the care we needed for each cat, and was very responsive if we had any concerns. Came home to happy cats and the house just as we had left it! Would absolutely recommend this sitter!

Sara has been great with my corgi, Cersei! She is always on time and has been incredibly flexible with my schedule. She is also very considerate with Cersei and accommodating to her needs for the past few months and Cersei loves her. She will continue to be my go-to whenever I need someone to help with Cersei.

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats both for over six years now and have two pets of my own. One dog and one cat. From going on walks to playing fetch, to just simply hanging out on the couch with your furry critters, I would love to do any and all of the above! I currently offer drop in visits and overnight stays, reach out with any questions! I am currently employed so I am currently unavailable from 12-4pm Wednesday and Friday. I prefer to do most of my work during the day but am open to night visits as well. I can not watch animals at my own home but am more than happy to come watch them at yours! I can do short visits all the way to overnights.

About: I have a great deal of passion for training dogs and horses. I've loved and cared for a multitude of different species, including a sheep! My routine is to come home, have some dinner, and then feed/play with my dog and cats. I'd love to spend time with more pets! It's imperative to me that petsitters understand individual pet body language & communicate with pet parents to ensure that every pet feels secure & comfortable.

About: What sets me apart as a pet caregiver is my hands-on experience with training and caring for my own dogs. As a proud owner of a Pitbull and a Great Dane, I understand the unique needs of different breeds and how to create a comfortable, safe, and stimulating environment for them. My passion for animals goes beyond just feeding and walking – I’m dedicated to ensuring your pet feels loved and cared for while you’re away, and I have the skills to provide extra support for pets who might need it. Whether it’s basic obedience or more specialized attention, I bring a personalized approach that makes sure your pet is treated like family. As a student, I’ve structured my schedule to allow flexibility when it comes to pet care. I can easily accommodate pet boarding any day of the week, or stay at your home to ensure your pet receives the attention and companionship they need while you’re away. I understand how important it is to have a reliable and caring person looking after your pet, so I make sure to prioritize their needs while balancing my studies. Whether it’s a few hours or several days, I’m here to offer consistent, loving care when it’s needed most. I provide loving, hands-on care for pets both in my own home and in yours. As someone who truly loves spending time with dogs, I make sure they feel right at home by playing with them, cuddling, and offering lots of affection. I’m happy to give them a bath if needed and take them out regularly for potty breaks, making sure they stay comfortable and well-cared for. Whether it’s keeping them entertained or providing some quiet time, I tailor my care to each pet’s personality and needs, ensuring they feel safe and loved while you’re away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 1,172 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
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
