Jodi was great with our cat. He interacted with her from the first day-it usually takes him 3 days to come out from under the bed. She was so dependable and sent excellent reports. We will use her again.

Breelyn did a wonderful job of caring for my cat and sending me lots of pictures along the way. She provided kitty cuddles & company for a week while I was out of town for a work. I will definitely book with her when I travel in the future.

Cynthia was great. She kept my dogs for 1 month and I got regular updates on how they were doing. It was cheaper than Petsmart and the dogs seemed less tramatized by the stay.

About: I adopted my first dog, Molly, in 2018 (you can see her in my profile photo). Ever since then, I have loved dogs, as well as other animals. Before I had Molly, I also had my own horse for 4 years. For the time being, I am available afternoons, Monday through Friday. I want to take care of your dogs, while also reserving enough time for my own dog. I will treat your dog the same way I treat my dog. I view each animal as an individual with their own needs and wants, and I will do my absolute best to meet those needs, as well as keep your dog happy and healthy!

Meryk did a great job making sure Big Boy was happy and cared for while I was at work. He even stayed a few extra minutes extra to play with the cat wand and sent pictures! 10/10 will hire again.

About: I have 40 years of pup to elder care experience. Training, care and presence for comfort and ease of the dog while owners are away can ease stress. Giving them attention and distraction will help in the owners absence. I’m retired and am wiling to take on all schedules and scenarios. I can feed, water, walk and administer medicine as needed and on schedule. I care for my dogs as if they are my kids. They are fed, cared for and vetted regularly. I would care for the owners dogs the same way or whatever way they ask me to.

About: I volunteered with Patriot Paws of Aggieland where I helped to raise and train service dogs for veterans at no cost to those veterans! I have also worked at Sit Means Sit Dog Training. I am very well experienced with dogs! I work everyday but am free after and before work!! I'm excited to meet your babies! On weekends I can be flexible pending work. I do have my own fur babies to take care of but am capable of doing both! I make sure to not let the animals out of my sight for more than 2 minutes! I love to play with them or just lay around depending on what the animal prefers!

I am so grateful for Ara! She did amazing with my young, large dog who can be a handful sometimes. She was very attentive and went above & beyond, making sure all my animals had their needs met & enough attention and love. I appreciate the communication I received as well throughout my trip.

About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover and have owned my dog since he was a puppy, so I understand the patience, care, and attention dogs need at every stage. I’ve also helped train both my own dog and dogs for neighbors, which has given me experience with different personalities, routines, and behaviors. I’ll treat your pets like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away! I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets lots of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays and weekends and can work with your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always make sure pets feel secure, loved, and well cared for in both my home and yours. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, walks, and any special instructions to create a safe and trusting environment.

About: I have helped my newfie give birth 4 times. I have done all the nitty gritty. I will do whatever it takes to take care of my girl. I take better care of her than I do myself. She only gets filtered clean cold water. She has the highest quality dog food and treats. She has an orthopedic memory form bed to sleep on. She has a custom harness with her name and my number.

Spend the evening there if needed. Walk, water, feed, and administer medicine. I have an orthopedic memory foam bed because my dog is big. She gets filtered, cold water. Highest quality kibble. Salmon skin for dog treats. Daily walks.

About: I've taken care of several dogs and cats for friends and neighbors, whether that's just checking in or staying overnight. I am avaliable to accompany the pets for extended hours or days. Pet sitting is my full time job, so I am usually available whenever! I'm able to either stay with the pets or check on them periodically. I am able to watch pets at a client's house, always keeping an eye on them and making sure they're doing alright. I prefer visiting and/or staying in their environment, making sure the pets more comfortable and less stressed.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats since I was a child. They are not like family, they are family. Many friends and relatives have entrusted me to care for their pets for short and long stays at my home where they receive love, attention, play, and care. When caring for your pets, they will not be alone for more than 4 hours at a time during the weekday. Evenings and weeknights they will not be alone for more than an hour at a time. I have a large fenced yard and close access to a public park for walks. I enjoy playing with animals and giving them attention and care.

About: I have a big heart, calm energy, and lots of attention. I care for pets like they’re my own, not just another booking. I live for loving animals! I’m in a season of life where I have the time and flexibility to care for other people’s fur babies while they’re at work or away. Animals have always been a huge part of my heart — my dream is to one day have a farm full of them. Pet care gives me the chance to meet and love others’ best friends in the meantime, and I truly enjoy every moment of it. We have a fenced in yard. Two cats and a dog to keep your best friend company. Happy to crate if needed. Will make your best friend the most comfortable and stick to any routines needed.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Clever

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Clever on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 431 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Clever. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Clever stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Clever 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!

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 .

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Clever with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Clever. On Rover:

  • 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.

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.
