“We booked Erika about four months in advance and had a wonderful meet and greet before the stay, which immediately put us at ease. She was incredibly thorough and even asked for a written document outlining everything about our home and our dogs’ care, then followed it all to a T. Our dogs were so clearly loved and well cared for. They were played with, cuddled, and happy the entire time. Erika went above and beyond by bathing them before we came home, which we never even asked her to do. She kept the house spotless, and we never requested that she clean, but it honestly looked like no one had been here. She sent daily pictures and videos, kept us updated on how potty training was going, and even took the time to clean Olive’s eyes, which is not always an easy task. It was obvious how attentive and thoughtful she was with both Miles and Olive, and they absolutely adored her. We felt completely at ease knowing our dogs and home were in such good hands. We would absolutely rebook with Erika and plan to do so. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional sitter.”
“Paula was wonderful! She connected with our fur babies right away and had us feel completely comforted in the knowledge that they were being cared for with love. I highly recommend!”
“Ada house sat my dog who was both diabetic and recovering from bronchitis which required shots and other medications twice a day. She not only cared for MMO’s medical needs but provided emotional support for him in my absence. She sent pictures and conducted a River video chat with me to ensure not only Momo’s emotional support but for mine as well. I felt confident my beloved pet was in good hands.”
About: I work with a variety of animals from horses to dogs, this includes simple checkups to dog/house sitting! I love being outside and going for walks myself and find it so much more enjoyable with a furry companion. From hyper to chill dogs we can go for walks or runs!! I am doing this to make money for college and hopefully transfer to a university that will foster my passion in engineering. Thank you for considering me :) I am a student with a very flexible schedule as long as we communicate prior to your expectations I can be sure to be a reliable and responsible person to take care of your loved ones. I am completely free on the weekends and in the mornings and late afternoons to evenings on the weekdays when school starts august 25th. During the summer i am completely available everyday! I have a backyard with no fence but a big home, I live with my cat and backyard chickens. My house is tucked away from any busy roads and the yard has clear visibility all around!
“We had another great getaway thanks to Kim. I always feel confident my house and pups are well cared for by her! She’s very flexible when the travel gods throw a curveball too.”
“Shanna was an excellent caregiver for dog, Tessa, while we were out of town. She was attentive to our girl’s additional needs, administering medications and care for Tessa’s health issues. Shanna kept us updated throughout the week and was responsive to any questions we had. We highly recommend her!”
“Gracie was exceptional! She was very thorough and communicative throughout the day providing us very clear updates. We have two older pets and she was extremely patient and responsive. She took excellent care of our dog who she was primarily there for, but also took the time to check on our cat as well who just needed dinner that day. We can’t recommend her enough and will absolutely be requesting her services again.”
About: I have worked at a boarding kennel for 5 years and an animal shelter for 2 years. I have a range of knowledge about different breeds, sizes, behaviors, etc. and have had much practice with my own dogs and cats as well. I am an animal lover and have also owned rabbits, lizards, and fish. I am very familiar with different types of animals and the care that is needed.

I hope to be able to become friends with your pet and give them lots of love and affection! I currently have an open schedule and am available on majority of all the days of the week and am fairly flexible. I can come by and stay over when needed I am willing to provide long walks or take the dog out to walk at a park. I am good about staying on a schedule to be able to provide the best quality care and routine. Your pet will get showered in love and plenty of playtime.
“Casey was great! She stayed with Penny and loved her like her own. The updates and pictures she sent really set out minds at ease. I highly recommend Casey to Cate for your fur babies.”
About: With 10 years of hands-on experience, I began my career at a high-volume kennel at age 15 and have since provided dedicated care to animals of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Skilled in administering medications, managing special needs (even senior dogs in diapers), and ensuring each pet receives personalized attention to feel safe and at ease. I’m passionate about animal well-being and committed to building trust with both pets and their owners through dependable, compassionate care. I offer full-time availability for pet care with a flexible schedule to meet your needs, while maintaining a detail-oriented, reliable, and punctual approach to every visit. I ensure every animal in my care receives attentive, personalized treatment that meets both their basic needs and individual routines. I take the time to understand each pet’s schedule and preferences, providing them with comfort, consistency, and plenty of affection—so their owners can feel confident and at ease while away!
“Can’t say enough good things about Christine! Very accommodating, thoughtful and was ultra committed to my dog’s wellbeing. Even went out of her way for Del to be more comfortable, and for me to feel at ease. Easily a 10/10 sitter. Will def book again!”
About: I love all animals! I believe animals can sense energy, and animals always respond well to my presence because I am patient. I grew up on a farm so horses, dogs, cats, birds. My pets live like kings 😂 I work remotely so my schedule is flexible. Over night stays are fine. I work remotely and have hot spot so my schedule is flexible. I am available 7AM-3PM (depending on area). Fridays/Saturdays available all day. I would prefer pet sitting at the pet’s home to ensure they feel comfortable, low stress. Evenings I can stay extended amounts of times as long as y’all don’t mind me working remotely on my hot spot at the home. Outside/feeding schedules will be no problem because my work is flexible.
“Taylor did a great job watching our beagle, Jake! He was totally comfortable with her and she kept in touch with us to keep us posted on how he was doing. I will definitely use her sitting services again!”
“Peyton took wonderful care of our dogs while we were away! One of our dogs is diabetic and requires oral medication and insulin injections twice a day, and she handled his care with confidence. She went above and beyond trying to get him to eat when he was being stubborn. We came home to two happy, well cared for dogs and would absolutely book with Peyton again. Highly recommend!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,408 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Clayville. 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 Clayville 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 Clayville 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 Clayville 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.
