Caroline was great! We have dogs that need a lot of attention and she barely left their side for the entire weekend. She even took them on hikes in the woods. My home was spotless when I returned. Perfect house/dog sitter. Would highly recommend hiring Caroline. We certainly will again

About: I've been caring for pets since I was 20 years old. Friends, family members, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and provide overnight care for their beloved pets. Growing up, I had a poodle and gained experience caring for a variety of other animals, including fish, turtles, hamsters, gerbils, chinchillas, and rabbits. This lifelong experience has taught me how to understand and respond to the unique needs and personalities of different animals. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same attention, patience, affection, and respect that I would give my own. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and responsive, and I'll make sure your pet receives excellent care while keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Right now I am available anytime and on the weekends. In September I will be available on Monday Tuesday morning before 10 and after one; Wednesdays all day; Thursday in the morning before 10 and after one; and Friday, Saturday, and Sunday all day. I will play with them in your home. Make sure they’re comfortable and happy just as if they were my own. I will also take them on walks and cuddle with them.

About: *I look for pet parents on here but I will not make you pay me on here - message for a reference if needed*! To be honest, when I was a child I had a deadly fear of dogs. That was until my mother forced me to go to exposure therapy (yes she made me go to a club where they sat you with over ten dogs. Here, I fostered a love for them, and learned a lot about them. They need activity and they also need rest. They need a lot of attention but they reciprocate with fierce loyalty and unwavering love. I would love to help a family continue to give their dog the attention it deserves so they can also live their lives! I am a new college graduate looking for a full time remote position. The job market is competitive and I expect to be unemployed for at least a couple months. I have full time availability and will always have weekends. Let me help full time workers right now while I am figuring out life! My anxious dog requires a lot of attention and ensuring comfort. He gets lots of outdoor time and plenty of exercise in the morning, lunch, and night. He is fed twice a day with a mix of dry and wet food. I work on his tricks with him at least once a day! I also have cared for cats throughout my whole life. Fostering kittens, feeding them, cutting and administering pills for my disordered baby! Additionally brushing my animals, playing with them, and knowing when to give them space. I love my animals and have spent my life ensuring their care!!

About: I've been taking care of pets since I was a kid, having grown up with two dogs and being part of their care from puppyhood through old age. I've looked after both dogs and cats for neighbors and families to whom I've provided childcare, and for the past year, I’ve regularly walked dogs housed at a county animal shelter. This has been such a rewarding activity and has increased my comfort in interacting with animals with a variety of temperaments. I'm an active person, so I’d love to get outdoors and moving as long as your pup is up for it! If necessary, I can bathe your pet and administer oral medications; if instructed may also be comfortable with injectables. I’m so excited to meet a new furry friend! I’m beginning medical school in the fall and am looking to establish some house/pet sitting relationships while my schedule is super flexible this summer! I love taking long walks and would love company from your pup, but I’m also happy to stop by and hang out with your pet in your home if that’s preferred. I’m available to stay overnight in your home if you’re traveling and need longer term help, too. I will be pet sitting in your home and want to fit into your pet's daily life as seamlessly as possible, so I'm happy to do whatever makes them happy! I'm an active person so whether your pet is high or low energy, I can cater to their needs.

About: I'm who you call when your dog needs to run around and tire themselves out, or when your cat needs to curl up with someone in the sunlight! I grew up taking care of my lovely cockadoo Otis, as well as going on runs with my step-family's energetic black lab and golden retriever. In the years since, I've taken care of dogs and cats of all ages and breeds. I love learning every pet's specific needs, schedule, and energy levels. Excited to meet you and your furry friend exactly where you need! I'm currently working remotely as a writer, so I'll have plenty of time for your pup or your kitty. My schedule is usually quite flexible, and unless I'm out of town, I can make last minute calls work! My own dog was a rescue from the streets of New York City, and we worked very hard to slowly build trust with him, to the point he became the most affectionate dog I've seen! So even if your animal is skittish, I will happily mind their boundaries while showing them all the love I can. I also prioritize an animal's safety above all else, and am extremely attentive to what mischief your pet might be getting up to.

About: Ever since I was a kid, I've always had a dog in my household. I enjoy the excitement and fun times that I share with them. I am a very loving, trustworthy, and respectable person to others and especially animals! Without having a dog in my everyday life I feel incomplete. I am known to consider animals feelings over people in my life, simply because animals are harmless creatures that just need to be loved and taken care of. I'd love to share my free time helping out others in the community by taking care of their own fury friends when they are unable to. I have two dogs myself and they are a very big part of my life. One goes to work daily, while the older boy stays quiet at home. I take daily walks for some good exercise and fresh air. I have a fenced yard and two very friendly dogs to keep your fur baby comfortable. I can easily crate if need be. I have plenty of space for exercise and separate areas for feeding.

If we could give Bailey 100 stars, we would; she is absolutely incredible. Our puppy fell ill the night before we were going to leave. We considered canceling the trip, but she was so reassuring that we felt he would be in excellent hands. And he was. She took him to the vet, fed him ice cubes when he wouldn't drink water, and gave him his antibiotics when he wouldn't eat anything. All along, she kept us updated as she nursed him back to his usual self. Also, the house was spotless when we returned, far better than we had left it. Bailey is amazing!!!

About: Hi, my name is Halle, I am an 24 year-old English teacher and an experienced pet-owner who loves dogs. I have owned dogs my entire life and I have plenty of experience taking care of my own dogs as well as many others. I am very used to doing drop-ins, dog-walking, and providing dog care in my own home with about five years professional experience now. I love dogs and have spent my entire life around them so I know how to handle them in different situations. I am available virtually anytime on the weekdays during the summer and anytime on the weekends, depending on my other work schedule. I have experience training puppies so I know how energetic they can be! Hopefully I can provide you and your beloved pets with whatever services necessary. Thank you! I am working part-time at the moment so my schedule is very flexible and I can be around to take great care of your dog whenever! I have a very friendly and energetic young dog who loves to sprint at the beach and throw the ball in the backyard. I would love to provide the same level of activity for your pup and if boarding, there’s plenty of room in my home to separate my dog if yours prefers to be the only pet.

Bella has been the absolute greatest sitter for our dog, Winnie. Our poor girl has anxiety whenever we are not around. This was the first time we left her with a sitter, so we were not sure how she would react. Poor Winnie struggled at first when we left and even had some health issues which required medical attention . Bella sprang into action and got her the care she needed and Winnie quickly got better with her love and support. She also kept us updated on her progress daily and sent us great pictures of her which my family really appreciated since we were all worried and missed her. Once Winnie adjusted, Bella became her “person” and Winnie followed her everywhere. When we got home everything was neat and clean and our mail was brought in for us. We really loved using Bella and she will be our go-to sitter for any future trips. We are very lucky to have found her. If you want someone who cares for your pet just like you would, Bella is the best person for this. Winnie looks forward to future care with her!

Our dog absolutely loved having Vincent stay over for three nights to watch her! She looks so happy in all of the frequent update photos that we received. When we got home, our house was spotless and Shiloh was happy and healthy. Will definitely be continuing to use Vincent for future dog sitting needs!

FAQs for House Sitting - Clinton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Clinton on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,439 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Clinton. 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 Clinton 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 Clinton 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 Clinton 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 Clinton. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
