“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!”
“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.”
“Tierra was awesome! She took great care of our Raven! She had to administer 3 different medications, kept in contact, and sent pictures! Raven loves Tierra!”
“Jackie is absolutely amazing! She is truly the best. Jackie watched our two small pups for 4 days while we were on vacation and she was so good to our dogs by following their schedule, their needs, extra loves, outside time and overall making sure they were happy while we were gone. She sent pictures and videos every few hours to inform us how they were doing. I will only be booking with Jackie in the future!! :)”
“Abby did a great job looking out after my two dogs! She left earlier today before I got home. Dogs were taken care of and the house locked up. Not 20 minutes after she left the house, a neighbor of mine called and said they had Buddy. He had escaped the yard somehow! I contacted Abby and asked if she could go back to the house and deal with that situation. She didn’t hesitate! I got back from out of town and found the dogs happy and healthy like nothing ever happened! Thank you Abby for the extra care!!”
“I needed someone to watch my two dogs in my home. I hired Winifred based on her reviews which are very good. She came before hand to meet the dogs and get acquainted with their care, and they were very comfortable with her. She is very experienced with animal care and I felt totally comfortable having her care for my dogs. Winifred sent daily updates and pictures which was nice and the dogs loved her extra attention. My house was totally as I left it and the dogs happy when we got home. I highly recommend Winifred to anyone who needs pet sitting services!”
“We loved having Monique come and sit / house sit our two dogs. She was very concerned on learning the needs and habits of our dogs. Every day we were gone we would get photos and comments of what our dogs were up to. Our dogs were very sad after she left when we came home. Her kindness and attention really hit a cord with our dogs. Thank you for doing such a great job and allowing us to get out of town for some “alone” time! —- Dennis C.”
About: **I have base access and am honored to care for the pets of families that support our country!!** I believe each pet is an individual, cherished member of their family and I will treat them as such! That means I will customize my care to your pet's needs. With over four years of experience spent in a high-volume animal boarding facility, and time working at a vet clinic, I am equipped to handle all personalities and almost any medical or special needs. I am a full time, online student but I do work at a vet clinic on Wednesdays, Fridays and alternating Saturdays. On the days I work, I can provide drop ins during my lunch break within a limited travel radius - meaning ideally, your pet is not alone for more than 6 hours. Outside of work I am happy to stay at your home almost full time. I am always glad to discuss my schedule and making it work for you and your furbabies! Safety has always been my first priority. Your pet will NEVER be left outside unattended or off-leash. Regular pictures and videos are guaranteed. I will follow all feeding and medication protocols at your direction, and we will work together to come up with a plan that fits your pets needs and personality.
“She did a great job with our two crazy dogs and put up with us asking for pictures everyday. The house was clean when we got home and both of our dogs seemed like they had a great time!”
“Andi provided daily updates about my pets. He was attentive and notified me of one acting Ill. He went above and beyond to provide my pets a comfortable environment and assist me in coming home to clean pups!”
About: I grew up with dogs and have been wanting one for awhile. Animals can be best friend's too! My first job was working at a dog boarding facility, I fell in love with seeing the animals every day and establishing a relationship that guaranteed trust! Dogs are super intelligent and I love their quirky personalities! You can count on me to nurture and pay close attention to your dogs! I enjoy the idea of this service! I enjoy all breeds and have no problem to help train as well. I love the outdoors and would love to walk them outside! My goal to eventually gain a certification in training dogs and opening my own daycare/ training facility. Let's meet and discuss how I can be of help!
“Leah kept my boys happy and safe while we were gone, she left the house in clean condition after three days of staying and I am so appreciative! Her friendliness, good communication, and affection for our little fur balls all made her a great sitter while we were away. Thank you Leah!”

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.
“Lisa & Gianni were great with Satchmo & Missy. Lisa's extra care and attention to my pup was SO nice and really made my time away more relaxing not having to worry about my babies. I got a lot of pictures and updates and Lisa was kind enough to take my dog on lots of adventures. My cat, Missy, is very shy and Lisa must be an animal whisperer because Missy warmed right up to her which never happens. This made me so happy! My home was clean and organized just the way I left it & they even helped me out by bringing my garbage cans in from the road. I will be hiring Lisa & Gianni next time I need pet sitting and highly recommend them.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Clayton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Clayton on Rover is $39.96 per night (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of June 2026, there are 570 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Clayton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Tip: 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 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.

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.
