“Jocelyn was absolutely amazing! Our older dog had an upset stomach from fireworks on the 4th and was refusing to eat her normal kibble- Jocelyn went out of her way to get her some chicken and rice to eat for the remainder of our trip to ease our minds (while dealing with our crazy young dog). We cannot thank her enough and will definitely be looking to use Jocelyn again!”
“Erika did an incredible job taking care of our dog, and two cats. She sent updates regularly, and we could tell our fur babies loved her. Our dog smiled ear to ear in all the pictures, and our usually shy cats immediately took a shine to her. During her stay, our dog had an upset tummy, brought on by the stress of us leaving. She took amazing care of him, and made sure nothing was seriously wrong. Her regular communication made us feel at ease, knowing our dog was in good hands. Erika took care of our home like it was her own. She noticed ants in our upstairs office, and helped us fix the issue by alerting us and placing ant traps. This really stood out to us, because she didn’t need to solve the problem, but did anyway. She also left our home sparkling. She cleaned her bedding and towels, and left the countertops and living space spotless. Honestly, it looks better in here than when we left on vacation. We will definitely book with Erika in the future!”
“Gracie was so great! She took the best care of our senior pitbull who has lots of needs and separation anxiety. She’s a fantastic communicator, easy to coordinate with, and our Miss Honey loved her time with her. Thank you so much, Gracie! We were able to have the best family vacation knowing our girl was in good hands!”
“Kim is amazing. We are so glad we found someone that we feel so comfortable with taking care of our fur babies. Not only did she take very good care of both of our pups, she also took great care of our home while we were gone. Kim is very kind, professional and you can tell she genuinely enjoys what she does. We are excited to have her take care of our dogs in the future!”
“Alyssia gave me daily updates and pictures about my babes and her communication about everything was the best I have seen with a pet sitter. I can’t wait to use her services again. I felt very comfortable knowing she was the one caring for my babies while I was away :)”
“Taylynn was excellent! She had great communication, very obviously cares about doing a good job, showed up on time and was very pleasant during all our interactions. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a pet sitter.”
“Michelle is amazing! I wish I could give her way more than 5 stars. She is a great communicator and sends pics of the pups often which is very comforting to me. When I return home the house is just as clean as I left it…if not cleaner. Most importantly, the pups absolutely LOVE her.”
“Helena was absolutely AMAZING!!! This was our first time using Rover and the first time we left our dog overnight. She sent us pictures and updates throughout the time we were gone, showing just how relaxed and happy our dog was in her care. When he whined about sleeping in his crate, she kindly let him share the bed with her (with our approval, of course!). He even seemed disappointed when we came home 😉. We cannot recommend Helena more highly!!”
“Andrew was wonderful with our Mega Dane , Max and older girl, Bella. He was dependable and cognizant of the our fur babies’ needs. The house was neat and straight on our return. The pups enjoyed their activities with him and were disappointed when he didn’t show up the next day! Max runs to the door when I ask where’s Andrew! It was a very positive experience and we will definitely ask for his help again. Thank you Andrew.”
“We highly recommend Riley. Our little Calli Has some anxiety issues, but she seemed to relax and accept Riley easily. She was in excellent spirits when we returned home, and was well cared for. Riley’s knowledge of pets and her love of them is obvious.”
“What an amazing job from an amazing sitter! Christine was extremely polite, communicative, and always checking in with pictures and updates. She not only took care of Delilah, she took great care of the house! 100% recommended and 100% plan to rebook in the future. Thanks again!!”
“Virginia took great care of our furry family in our home during a week long trip. She’s a joy to work with, responsive and on time, always updating with photos and videos and keeping everyone on their preferred schedules. Returning home to content and relaxed pets is the best gift. She’s respectful and left our home in perfect condition. I’ll be happy to work with her again! Thanks Virginia.”
“Katelyn was great with our pups and our home. We came back to a house that was just as clean as we left it, and our dogs seemed completely unaffected by our absence — always a good sign. Highly recommend.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Clayville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 1,425 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Clayville. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
