“Katherine came through in the clutch for my dogs after my previous sitter had to cancel last minute. She was great with my dogs and sent pictures to me each day so I could see that they were having a blast with her. I would use her services again.”
“I was out of town for six days, and Krystyna stayed at my home with my two dogs and two cats. She took wonderful care of all of them and kept me updated throughout the week. My pets were happy and well-cared for when I got home, and my house was just as I left it — clean and tidy. One of my dogs is very anxious and she went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable and calm. She even took my dogs on daily walks despite the cold and rain, which I really appreciated!”
“Abby was wonderful. We have two six month old puppies and she embraced their schedule & training. Abby has a calm demeanor and the pups loved her. The house was neat & so was the fog run. The pups were so calm when we got home; we highly recommend Abby & will try to book with her again when we plan to travel.”
“Sara was communicative and took great care of the our dogs and house! She gave updates and sent photos and worked with our dogs to make sure they were comfortable. We’d definitely work with her again.”
“Lauren was amazing with our dogs and kitty and took excellent care of them and our home! She is dependable, caring, and an excellent communicator. We definitely look forward to hiring Lauren again!”
“First time using Rover to engage a housesitter to care for our two pups in our home. Based on the many 5 star reviews on Wini's services profile. We did an initial meet and greet at our home before the dates we needed her to housesit. Wini asked a lot of questions about the care and routine for our pups as well as if there were any special needs she needed to be aware of. After our meet and greet, we decided to move forward and book her housesitter services for our 12 yr old senior lab and 5 yr old high energy little terrier mix. Wini is excellent at communicating and updating with photos/videos during our time away from home. House was clean and dogs were happy when we returned. We feel confident in booking her again in the future.”
“Betty was great with our house and our boys! She was attentive to the extra needs of our 2 dogs and kept in contact with us. Our house was left in the same condition we left it! Betty is a gem!”
“Meredith was available for the Fourth of July holiday weekend which I appreciated very much. During our meet and greet, it was apparent Meredith has a very calm demeanor. Perfect for one of my pups who is a lil anxious. My fur babes took to Meredith right away, and she sent me pictures of them canoodling on her lap. Thank you so much!”
“Tierra provided excellent care for our 14 month old mini dachshund who is a velcro pup! I will definitely want to book Tierra again in the future and highly recommend her.”
“Helina house-sat for me and took care of my two senior Yorkies for a week. She sent me daily updates so I was assured that my babies were well cared for. I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation at Glacier National Park, where my dogs would have been bear snacks. I highly recommend Helina!”
“Ava recently stayed with our boys and we/they couldn’t have been happier. She was very responsive and did an excellent job making sure they both felt taken care of. Will definitely reach out to her again next time we need someone to stay with them.”
About: In the last three years I’ve raised 3 different puppies and taken care of a personal rescue. Aswell I’ve taken care of 3 senior/weak dogs at the same time with no issues. I currently work as a farm hand on my mom’s horse facility. So when home I’m out doing projects. But I can leave and stay anywhere if without much fuss. I have a nice fenced yard for free play time aswell as some land for them to really stretch the legs. I have two healers at my home. One spayed female 2yrs old, and one 7 month old male not neutered. They love to play but also jsut chill and cuddle.
“Mary was so sweet and great with our Dane. She took good care of her. She cares about your animals and we trusted her with our baby. Will definitely go with her again!”
“Haley was a great sitter for our fur baby! Definitely will have her watch our pup libbee again. Haley even was willing to still watch libbee when she was feeling under the weather, and still made sure libbee was taken care of. She kept us updated throughout our trip. When we came home libbee seemed to have had a blast! Also, came home to a well cleaned home as well! It was our first time leaving our pup for the first time ever with a sitter and definitely felt like I didn’t need to stress and knew she was being taken care of.”
About: I love all animals and all breeds. Since I was young I have been caring for and around numerous types and breeds of animals. I have learned that much like people every dog, cat, lizard, etc has its own personality and needs. Im ready and willing to give your pets the best care and love imaginable while you're away. Im not afraid of difficult animals with harder temperaments. Im patient and want to be your pets new friend. This will be one of the main ways I earn money in parallel with Uber eats. If I take a pet sit job it will be prioritized over UberEats. My days and nights are pretty open. Im a single father of an almost 3 year old little girl. She loves animals too and if your fur baby is ok with kids she would love to play as well. I will follow all stipulations and requests for your pet to help keep their routine and keep them comfy and happy. I have a decent sized property. Some fenced. Most open. We are out in chattaroy so not much of the city by us. If your pets like other dogs/animals we do have 3 dogs that regularly visit the property. They all 3 are extremely friendly and playful. As I said above I will follow all regimens and requests by owner to keep your pets happy and comfortable in their routine.
“Ami was friendly, flexible and communicative. We appreciated her taking such good care of our high maintenance pups and will absolutely be booking with her again (if she’ll have us ?).”
“Angee is so good with my pup and her communication and photos and all are most assuring when I’m gone! I feel fortunate to have found her and will definitely ask her back time and again!”
About: I've been caring for pets for over 5 years and have been lucky enough to build lasting relationships with many wonderful families and their furry companions. Several of my clients have trusted me time and time again for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care, and there's no greater compliment than having someone ask you back. I'm experienced with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from energetic puppies who need lots of playtime to senior pets who prefer a slower pace and extra patience. I understand that every pet has their own routine, quirks, and needs, and I always take the time to get to know them, so they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. My goal is to provide dependable, stress-free care that gives both pets and their owners peace of mind. I'll treat your pet like the unique individual they are and make sure you stay connected with regular updates and plenty of photos while you're away. I'm currently working full time, Monday through Friday from 7:00am-3:30pm. I will adjust my schedule of personal events/activities during the times I may watch your pets on the weekends, that way they get my full attention and have someone to lean on. Since I work 8-hour shifts, I try my best to give your pet everything they need early morning and then after work I'm all theirs :). Typically, I am known for house sitting and staying overnight with your pets as it is a better, more comfortable and familiar environment for them.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Clayton walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Clayton maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Clayton choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
