“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!”

“this was the second time we used Wini to care for our dog, Sadie. Wini stayed with Sadie for 3 weeks so we could take an European bucket list trip over the holidays. Wini is amazing and provided such wonderful care for Sadie, we rarely worried about being gone. Communication remains excellent and the care provided by Wini is superior. I am certain we will book with Wini again when we need her supreme care! Thank you Wini.”

“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!”

“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!”

“Tierra was wonderful! Our dog Hank loved her as soon as he met her at our meet and greet 😊 She did an amazing job watching him, she sent great updates and pictures and Hank had so much fun with her! We came back to a very happy guy after his time with her 😊 we will definitely use Tierra again”


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.

“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!!”


“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!! :)”

“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.”

“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 ?).”


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.
“Victorian (Tori) did such a great job with our senior dogs. She was patient and loving with them. She kept us updated and they and our house were well looked after. We so appreciated what she did for them and us. Great dog sitter.”

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!
“Rachel was amazing! She had great communication the entire time and we loved the updates she sent us. Sadie (my dog) was well taken care of and we would definitely have Rachel dogsit again.”

About: I’ve always had animals in my life and genuinely love the personalities that come with each one. I grew up with family dogs and still have my little guy, Poppy. He can be quite anxious at times and occasionally needs medication, so I understand how important patience, routine, and reassurance are for pets who need a little extra care and attention. While Poppy is small, I’ve spent plenty of time around much larger family dogs as well (some big enough that if they decided to sit on me, I wasn’t going anywhere). Because of that, I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m also happy caring for senior pets, puppies, and kittens. If a pet needs medication, that’s something I’m comfortable helping with as long as instructions are clear. Beyond dogs, I’ve also cared for aquariums with fish, snails, and shrimp after a professor trusted me to take over part of his collection. I’ve been trusted by friends to care for their family homes and pets while they were away, including looking after cats, watering gardens, and tending to bonsai trees. A friend who used to dog sit regularly would often send repeat dogs my way because she knew they’d be well cared for. When it comes to pets, I love meeting them where they are. My own dog might be a cuddly old man most of the time, but when he suddenly gets the zoomies, I’m right there chasing him through the house. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’m happy to do whatever helps them feel comfortable and loved while their owner is away. I work fully remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to spend plenty of time at home with pets and keep their routines consistent. One thing I especially enjoy is sending photo updates. When my family once traveled, our sitter sent us a photo of our dog happily sitting in a pile of laundry, and for some reason it stuck with me. It was such a small moment, but it made us feel like he was safe, relaxed, and loved even while we were far away. That’s exactly the kind of reassurance I like to give to pet owners when they’re away. As a fully remote worker, I have the flexibility to incorporate pet care into my daily routine with ease. I enjoy taking breaks throughout the day for walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. Because I’m home most of the time, I'm able to keep routines consistent while you're away, allowing me to provide a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment. I care for every pet according to their individual needs and their owner's instructions. In my client's home, I focus on maintaining the pet's normal routine, including feeding schedules, fresh water, walks, exercise, playtime, medication administration (if needed), and plenty of attention and companionship. I also make sure the home stays tidy and secure while providing regular updates and photos for peace of mind. I prioritize safety, consistency, and positive interactions, taking the time to learn each pet's personality, preferences, and any special requirements. My goal is to help pets feel comfortable, happy, and stress-free while their owners are away.
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.

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.
