About: I've had pets my whole life and currently have a cat who I love taking care of! I also am comfortable taking care of dogs. I work part time with flexible hours so I have lots of free time to take care of your pet! I'm free most mornings, afternoons and evenings. When I take care of a dog I'll take them for walks, clean up after them, play with them, and make sure they have food, water and plenty of attention.

“Brenna was great with my two huskies! They were very comfortable with her and had a fantastic walk! It’s not easy to find the right person for these high energy rascals, but Brenna handled them with ease! Would highly recommend her for all your pet needs. :)”

“Cristine did an amazing job taking care of Lex while I was away. She arrived on time, sent pictures, mapped his walks and texted them to me--all of which reassured me that Lex was being well cared for. I will definitely be booking her again in the future, and I highly recommend her services. Thank you Cristine!”

About: I started a pet sitting business with my two daughters when they were in Elementary school to teach them how to own and operate a small business. Fast forward to sixteen years later and they are now grown adults. My love for animals has driven me to continue Locke’s Petsitting on my own. As an empty nester, I have recently relocated to the Jersey shore. Over the years, our company has provided services for all breeds of dogs. From Great Dane to Chihuahua, I’ve got you covered with love and attention for your special loved ones! As a sound practitioner, I believe loving energy is felt by all our animals. When you are away…it is important that your animals needs are intuitively met by paying close attention to their behavior and needs. It can be a stressful time for our dogs and my approach is to always give that little extra to your pet. I listen carefully to your needs and expectations in order to deliver the service you expect. My primary business, Holistic Sound and Wellness, allows me flexibility to schedule pet sitting and dog walking jobs. I believe it is important to fill your days with experiences you are passionate about…and spending time with dogs is one of those things! My experience and reliability has allowed my clients to feel comfortable knowing their home and animals will be safe when they return. I understand how necessary it is for the client to trust their service provider while they are away so they will feel at ease and confident with their decision.

“We had a positive experience with Andrew. It was a last minute booking and he confirmed promptly. He was punctual, with proactive communication before and during the walk. Our pup was happy and he paid attention to our special instructions to keep her from picking up trash off the ground. Thank you!”


About: I have had animals my entire life and began caring for pets outside of my own family at age 15. My love for animals led me to gain experience with a wide variety of pets, especially dogs and cats. I am experienced with puppies, senior dogs, breeding dogs, and farm animals, as well as administering medications and following specialized care instructions. I understand that every animal has unique needs and personalities, and I am committed to providing safe, reliable, and compassionate care. Whether your pet needs exercise, companionship, medication, extra patience, or specialized attention, I will treat them like they are part of my own family. I work part-time from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to provide attentive, personalized care for your pets. Because I am home throughout much of the day, your pets will receive frequent potty breaks, playtime, exercise, companionship, and lots of attention. I can accommodate a variety of schedules, including weekdays, evenings, weekends, and holidays when available. Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I have been caring for pets professionally since I was 15 years old. I have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, pigs, goats, and other small animals. I am comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, breeding dogs, and pets that require medications. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and maintaining each pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own.

About: Hello! I am Abigail, I am currently a respiratory therapy student at RACC, and I am 22. While I have never professionally worked with animals before, my family has always had multiple pets in our house. I grew up with dogs, birds, and cats at home. While I don't have professional experience with animals, I currently work in healthcare. I offer both house sitting and dog walking services. For house sitting, I am mostly available 7 days/nights a week unless I am out of town. For dog walking, I am available Mon/Wed/Fri 7am-1:30pm and Tues/Thurs/Sun 7am-8pm. Available some Saturdays upon request. I am working part-time while I am in school so I will have plenty of time to play and take car of your pets during the summer! I am available more nights for overnight boarding and most mornings and some afternoons for walking. I have reliable transportation to client's houses. I think communication is very important, so I will always provide you with regular updates about your pet's well-being. I am also currently working on getting my BLS/CPR certification.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have always loved caring for them! I’m experienced with dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I’m very patient, attentive, and affectionate with every pet I meet. Friends and family have trusted me for years to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m comfortable with energetic puppies, shy pets, and senior animals that may need extra attention and care. I truly treat every pet like my own and love making them feel safe, happy, and loved! I've always had pets growing up and currently have 2 kitties and a pitbull! I'm currently a waitress Wednesday through Sunday! My shifts are usually in the evening and run pretty late. Because of that, I’m most available during mornings, afternoons, and on Mondays and Tuesdays! Pet care fits really naturally into my routine since I’ve always been around animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I’m very flexible with check-ins, walks, feeding schedules, and giving pets lots of love and attention! I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I’m very attentive to routines, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions from owners. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet, so I treat every animal like they’re my own and make sure they get lots of attention, patience, and affection. I’m also respectful of clients’ homes, keep spaces clean, and always prioritize your pet’s safety and happiness!
About: I have been house-sitting and pet-sitting for about a year now, and I have received very positive feedback on each job. I am a teacher, so I have developed lots of patience, responsibility, care, and a nurturing spirit that I know will help me care for you pets well. Like I said, I’m a teacher, so I’m free in the summers and on weekends and during holiday breaks! Perfect fit for all your family trips, small or big. I am unable to care for pets in my home since I live in a small space, but I am more than willing to care for my client’s home and leave it better than I found it.
“Timothy is excellent with Lily. We went away for the weekend and it looks like she had a blast on her mini vacation with Tim. Thank you Timothy for being the best sitter for Lily.”

About: I have spent my entire life growing up with numerous and varied pets, which has given me experience with different animals and their needs. I would love to care for your pet—any breed, size, or personality! My schedule is very flexible, and I would love to discuss scheduling a time that works for you! Please reach out, so we can discuss your needs. I will clarify with you if there are any specific needs or routines that would be followed for your pet. Typically, I would enter and greet your pet (whether with pets or from afar), feed them per instructions, and give them fresh water. For dogs, we will head outside for a walk or exercise in the backyard, and for cats, I would clean their litter box and then play or relax with them. Whether it is a drop-in, overnight stay, or walk, I will make sure your doors and gates are locked!
About: With 10+ years of professional dogsitting experience I have worked with many types of dogs and pride myself on my ability to adapt to each animal's individual needs. I have experience with small and large breeds, puppies, seniors, those who are anxiety prone, high energy, and even blind. I am comfortable and confident administering medication (orally, eye drops). I specialize in dog care but have also cared for cats and horses professionally. Growing up I rode horses, always had a dog in the house, as well as cats, hamsters, and fish. Always immersed in nature, I loved to walk around my yard and find box turtles creeping along in the grass. A surprise to fulfill my childlike wonder that still hasn't left me!! As an animal lover from the time I was a little girl, I always went straight for the animals wherever I went to make an instant new friend. I was born with an intuitive understanding of animals, as a child connecting naturally, easily and deeply with them. Animals have always been a necessary and important part of my life creating comfort and companionship for both of us. I also offer ENERGY HEALING sessions for all types of animals. Benefits of energy healing include anxiety relief, greater over all wellbeing, aids in recovery after trauma or surgery, etc. Healing is received either hands-on or remotely. Please contact me directly for more info. Can't wait to hear from you! My schedule is generally flexible. Currently available for both long-term and short-term care, vacation needs, or other customization arrangement. Short notice requests welcome and I will do my best to accomodate. During my visit or stay with your dog(s) I would be happy to take them on a hike or to a nearby park for some exercise and fun adventure!

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 8 years old, and have been pet-sitting since I was 14. I love all animals, but my heart melts for every dog I see! There is no dog I don't love on sight! I am not working any other full-time job at the moment, so I can spend plenty of time with your pet. I will most likely spend several hours at a time with your furry friend, taking breaks throughout the day for food and errands. Overnights can be arranged upon request. As I have two dogs in my own home, I would be caring for your pet in yours. I will leave your home neat and tidy, and will happily clean up after your pets while there. I will also send you pictures of your animals throughout my time with them, to let you know that they are sage and happy.
“Leah did an excellent job walking Kai . She had good control over him as he is a large dog . She was kind and patient . He really enjoyed his walk . She’s a lifesaver taking over his walk today .”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 3,567 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Clayton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Clayton. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Clayton.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
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.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Clayton. On Rover:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% 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 dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
