“Traylor and Jason were excellent with our fur babies. We were able to fully enjoy our trip knowing they were in good hands. Came home to a spotless house as well.”
“Camryn was AMAZING! She was so good with our 2 high energy dogs, she sent pictures and gave us updates while we were away. We knew our dogs were being well cared for. 100% recommend her. We will definitely schedule with Camryn again. Thank you Camryn! We appreciate you SO much!”
“Erica topk excellent care of our mini poodle while we were out of town, including administering Welli’s insulin shots. Communication was great and Erica sent us several photos and updates of how Welli was doing. Our home was clean and tidy when we arrived home. I highly recommend Erica to anyone needing an in-house sitter for their pets.”
About: Hi, I'm Crystal! I've been an animal caretaker my whole life — mainly dogs, but growing up we had everything: dogs, cats, rats, snakes, a pig, a goat, turkeys, chickens, ducks, horses, turtles, and fish. I started really doing the work of caring for them around age 9, so I have about 15 years of hands-on experience. As an adult I've had a dog, a few cats, and some chickens. Currently I have Cocoa (my dog), my cats Tigre, Princess Cecelia, and Blue, and 2 chickens. Because I've handled so many different species over the years, I'm comfortable with all kinds of animals and personalities: shy rescues, rowdy puppies, picky cats, you name it. What sets me apart is all that variety — most sitters know dogs and cats, but I've cared for just about everything, so very little surprises me. Your pet will be in experienced, confident hands. I work from home running my own business, so I'm home most of the day and my schedule is flexible. That means lots of company, playtime, and potty breaks for boarding guests, and I can usually fit walks and drop-ins around your timing. Just message me and we'll make it work! Every owner and pet is a little different, so I start with a calm, tidy environment and let the pet set the pace. Once they get comfortable, there's more play and energy, but if they're shy, I'll never push it or do anything that scares them or makes them uneasy. I'll keep you updated on how your pet is doing throughout the stay or walk, so you never have to worry.
About: Built trust with pets through patience, consistency, and positive interaction. Maintained safe, clean, and comfortable environments for animals at all times. Monitored pets for changes in behavior, appetite, or health and reported concerns promptly. On weekends, pet care is a regular and prioritized part of my routine. I plan my schedule to allow enough time for feeding, walking, cleaning, and quality interaction with the pets. I make sure they are fed on time, taken out for exercise, and given attention and play to keep them mentally stimulated. I also monitor their behavior and health, ensuring they are comfortable and safe throughout the day. My weekends are flexible, which allows me to be fully attentive to pets’ needs without rushing. I care for pets by following their established routines, ensuring proper feeding, exercise, cleanliness, and attention. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and clear communication with owners.
“Jada was amazing house sitting to take care of our pup blue! He needs special medicine in his food and needs a few more potty times than most and we came home to a happy guy! Thank you Jada!”
“Marce did a fantastic job taking care of our little dog for 12 days while we were out of town. We had daily updates and came home home to him/the house looking great! We will absolutely be booking with her again in the future.”
About: I’ve had dogs in my home my whole life and currently have cats of my own.

I also regularly walk shelter dogs and am comfortable caring for a variety of personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like family. I work Wednesday–Sunday from 3–11 PM, but I’m available for visits in the mornings and early afternoons, as well as Monday–Tuesday. Pets are part of my daily life. I feed my cats, foster kittens, and walk shelter dogs. I make sure every pet gets consistent care, love, and attention.

My dog, Missy Lou, will be with me, and we would love be with your furry friends where it is most comfortable for them.
“Came home and my pup seemed well cared for! She sent me some photos while I was away for the week. Was flexible and agreed to meet him beforehand to see if they would be a good fit. Would book again.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since birth and till death. I’ve been around pets my whole life and know the do’s and don’t’s of pet care. I have a part time job but if I accepted your boarding request there would be someone home the entire time. You will never have to worry about a lack of attention and care from me. My pets get along with others and are crate trained. Your pets would be treated like a member of the family. We could work on training as well.
About: I love cuddling and taking care of animals. I am a stay at home mom so I’m always home. I can throw toys and play with your fur baby and take them on walks.

“I had to leave my two Siamese boys home for the holidays. I was very nervous. I work from home and they aren't home alone much, if at all! Having true flame-point Siamese characteristics, they require constant attention and play. They are known to be one of the most social of cat breeds and are often called the royalty of cats for good reason! Lucy stayed over the whole week and did more than give them her undivided attention! She followed their feeding schedule and medicine administration. They had just been neutered a week before and she checked that they were still healing properly. She checked in with me and responded promptly when I texted her to see how things were going. She let me know how much time she was with them and when she was away. I could tell when I got home they had still gotten the amount of playtime and cuddles they need. She met with me beforehand and went over last minute details as I requested before I left. I was in a rush the day I left and Lucy watered my plants for me. My dishwasher was broken at the time and couldn't run water in one side of my sink. She made sure to not use them and hand washed any dishes. I left my only apartment key with her and she didn't forget to put it back for my return. Everything was tidy and perfectly taken care of. I can tell Lucy enjoys animals and watching them. It's not a "job" for her, but a joy she holds in her everyday life. I am excited to have found a permanent sitter and my kitties are happy they'll have a familiar friend when I'm gone! I'm so grateful that she was able to stay over and spend her Christmas watching them. Thanks for becoming my cat-sitter Lucy!”

Any other time I’m completely available to give your dog lots of love and all the walks that they need. As of right now, I’m living in an apartment with lots of grass, but no fenced backyard. But I will take them on lots and lots of walks.

Shelby did a fantastic job watching my two dogs and cat for two weeks while staying at my house. She was attentive, thoughtful, and clearly cared about making sure they were all happy and comfortable. For example, when she saw thunderstorms in the forecast, she proactively checked in to ask how the dogs do with thunder. She also sent regular photos and updates, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I came home knowing they had been well cared for, and I would absolutely recommend Shelby to anyone looking for a reliable, caring petsitter!
Meghan did an amazing job watching Concrete and Onyx! She took great care of both of them and followed all of our instructions, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We came home to two happy, well cared for pups. We really appreciated having someone we could trust with them and would absolutely have Meghan watch them again!
Camryn was AMAZING! She was so good with our 2 high energy dogs, she sent pictures and gave us updates while we were away. We knew our dogs were being well cared for. 100% recommend her. We will definitely schedule with Camryn again. Thank you Camryn! We appreciate you SO much!
Kianna was wonderful! Dealing with 3 Boxers plus a cat is a bit much for most people, but Kianna handled them all perfectly. Kinko our cat even let Kianna pet him which is impressive as he is pretty spicy most of the time (can’t blame him with 3 large Boxers in the household). Her concern for our albino Boxer was very much appreciated as well as he is very attached to his humans. With the limited WIFI availability we had during the trip was great for brief communication and receiving some photos of our boys too from Kianna. 100% would book again with Kianna for future needs.
Tayla was very kind and took great care of our Sammy girl! She washed the sheets and towels used which was not expected and we are appreciative of that extra step to leave the house clean for us! I would like a few more updates and pictures while we are gone to keep better communication (Sammy is our baby)! Other than that, she did wonderful and we would absolutely use her again! Thanks Tayla!
We had Jillian house sit for us for 6 days. The dogs seemed to like her and being able to stay home. They didn't have the normal issues when they are boarded. Feeding instructions were followed. She also sent videos when asked. My only complaint is no poop scooping was done, but that may exceed her role as a pet sitter.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Clinton. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
