“My pets felt right at home at Kayla’s house. She took very good care of my babies. She provided a big cat condo for my cat, she provided pictures of my pets. My pets loved being there and felt very comfortable with her. I recommend Kayla to watch your pets! I will bring my pets back to her.”
“Our two beagles Larry and Betty really enjoyed their stay with Christine and all her fur babies. Christine updates us with photos and messages daily. Our dogs were definitely living their best doggie daycare life in Christine’s care. We would highly recommend her!”
“Marquita took great care of Gentry! Gentry came home happy and peaceful. I truly appreciate all she did to make my girl feel comfortable. Thank you Marquita!!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Kevin and his dog sitting services! From the moment we met him, it was clear that he genuinely loves dogs and takes his responsibilities seriously. He treated our pup like family, giving her tons of love, attention, and exercise. It was such a relief knowing she was in such capable and caring hands while we were away.”
“Jennifer did an excellent job of caring for our two dogs. She clearly cares very much for dogs! She’s also very knowledgeable about dog care and gave me some valuable advice. Great experience.”
“We have a large male German Shepherd, and he is not easy to place just because of his breed honestly, he’s a great dog, but Johnathan was so comforting with him and really helped him take his time and get able to meet the other dog and within just a half hour of meeting Jonothan our dog was comfortably hanging out in their home and integrated with their family. I’m so grateful we’ve really been looking for a grade sitter and I think this is gonna be a great match if you have a dog that is in anyway tough to place or needs a more confident leader, I would highly recommend this sitter.”
“I felt very comfortable leaving our dog with Noemi. Her home is immaculate and she gave our dog lots of opportunities for exercise at the dog park, walking and in her fenced area. Will definitely use her again.”
“Yessica and her husband were amazing! They have the perfect set up for the pups. They kept me updated all weekend and sent a ton of pics/videos. Couldn’t have asked for any better! Will definitely be bringing Dewey back to them in the future!”
“Norma took excellent care of my pug and golden doodle. She is an obvious dog lover. My dogs took to her immediately. She was very loving with them. She sent me several photos a day of them playing in her backyard. She kept me informed of their eating habits and she went above and beyond with administering meds to my special doodle. I have found my dog sitter!”
About: 🐾 Wagging Tails, Happy Hearts, Peace of Mind While You're Apart 🐾 I have a genuine connection with animals and a love for them that is difficult to put into words. From as far back as I can remember, I've been drawn to nature and animals of all kinds—big and small. Caring for animals isn't just something I do; it's a lifelong passion that has always been a part of who I am. Throughout my life, I've rescued and cared for countless animals and have a natural ability to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I believe pet care goes beyond meeting basic physical needs. My goal is to provide companionship, enrichment, comfort, and an overall sense of well-being so your pets feel happy, secure, and cared for while you're away. Whether your furry family members are staying with me or I'm caring for them in the comfort of your home, they will be treated with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own pets. I understand how difficult it can be to trust someone else with your beloved companions. Every pet has their own unique personality, routines, quirks, and preferences, and I take the time to learn and respect those details. Maintaining their familiar routines helps keep them comfortable, stress-free, and happy while you're away, giving you peace of mind knowing they're in caring and capable hands. **Specialized Care & Experience** I have experience caring for pets with a wide variety of unique needs and personalities. Whether your pet is shy, reactive, unsocialized, elderly, very young, disabled, recovering from illness or injury, or simply has their own special routines and quirks, I provide patient, individualized care tailored to their comfort and well-being. My experience includes: • Senior (geriatric) pet care • Puppy and kitten (pediatric) care • Special-needs and disabled pets • Reactive, fearful, or unsocialized animals • Medication administration (oral, topical, and other routine medications) • Post-surgical and recovery support • Mobility assistance and accommodations • Maintaining specialized feeding, exercise, and behavioral routines I understand that every pet is unique. I take the time to learn their preferences, triggers, habits, and routines so they feel safe, secure, and understood while you're away. ❤️ Pet care is my primary focus this summer, giving me the flexibility to accommodate a wide range of schedules and care needs. I understand how important consistency and routine are, so I work to ensure their care fits seamlessly into their normal day. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, multiple daily visits, medication, specialized attention, or full day/overnight sitting, I have the availability to provide dependable, personalized care and plenty of attention while you're away. I strive to provide a safe, comfortable, and low-stress environment that feels as close to your pet's normal routine as possible. In my home, pets have access to a securely fenced backyard with plenty of shade for supervised outdoor time. I share my home with one senior dog and three cats who are accustomed to other animals. Depending on your preferences and your pet's personality, they can socialize with my pets or be kept completely separate. I understand that not every animal enjoys company, and I'm happy to accommodate whatever makes them most comfortable. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with the same respect I would my own. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication routines, exercise needs, and any special instructions to help maintain consistency and reduce stress while you're away. I also respect your home, belongings, privacy, and household routines, ensuring both you and your pets feel comfortable and secure. My goal is always to provide attentive, personalized care so your pets feel safe, happy, and loved whether they're staying with me or remaining in the comfort of their own home.
“I really appreciate Kristen being available during the holiday season. My pet fit right in with her family pets. Kristen is very friendly and her home is cozy. I hope she is available for my next booking!”
“We went out of town for a few days and left our two pups with Jennifer and she was great! We received daily text and photo updates! We really appreciate having a great home for our boys to go to while we are away and Jennifer provides just that! We will definitely be using her again!”
“It was our first time using Rover and a friend recommended Vasti. Our puppy, Haven, was boarded for 5 days and had a wonderful time. Vasti and Bryan took great care of her and sent updates with pictures and videos frequently. We are so grateful for finding you and knowing Haven is well cared for when we are away. We look forward to boarding with you again in the future!”
“I’m not typically one for rave reviews, but it’s easy to rave about Linda! She is kind, caring, and so good with my rescue dog Coco. Coco was in a cage for years so she has separation anxiety. And Linda knew just what to do to put her at ease. She also sent lots of pictures, stayed in constant contact, and asked all of the right questions. If I could give 10 stars I would.”
About: I have a genuine love for dogs and enjoy spending time caring for them. I am responsible, patient, and attentive to each dog's individual needs, whether that means going on walks, playing, sticking to feeding schedules, or simply providing companionship. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities, and I understand the importance of keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. One area I am not comfortable with is food aggression. I’d kindly have to decline if your pet struggles with this! Although I do not have a yard of my own, my property has a small dog park available to me! I am free throughout the whole week except Sunday's. If Sunday is needed, I will do my best to accommodate!! I’m also available all hours of the day. I care for pets by walking, feeding, playing, and loving on them the most! I am capable of sticking to a schedule if they have one.
“Athena and Richi go above and beyond as pet sitters! They clearly have a thoughtful and caring approach, from their warm interactions to thoughtful touches like updates, thank-you cards, and holiday gifts. It is such a relief to return to a relaxed and happy puppy. They are a fantastic choice for anyone looking for reliable and loving pet care.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Clearwater is $42
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Clearwater
Our experience was wonderful! When our previous sitter canceled unexpectedly, he stepped in right away and welcomed Shiloh with open arms. From the moment we dropped him off, he made us feel completely at ease. He stayed in touch throughout Shiloh’s stay, sending regular updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. One of my favorite parts was that he has a Golden Retriever too, and Shiloh took to his new buddy immediately! It was so comforting knowing he had a friend to play with while we were away. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter!
I can’t recommend J’Quan enough! This was my first time leaving my 2-year-old pit bull, and I was honestly nervous. From the very beginning, he made the entire process feel comfortable and stress-free. My dog stayed in a clean, well-maintained environment, and it was obvious she was well cared for. What meant the most to me was that he spent quality time with her instead of just watching her. He also kept us updated with frequent messages and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares for your pet like they’re his own, J’Quan is the one. We will definitely be booking with him again!
Our dogs had such a blast with Jennifer and the frequent pictures and videos sent while staying with her were so appreciated. Knowing our fur babies were well taken care of when we were out of town put our minds so much at ease. Thank you for taking such good care of our pups like they were your own!
Brittney was awesome. Tuco seemed like he had a new home and friend on the first meet. I was a little nervous using Rover the first time but Brittney helped me feel comfortable and more importantly cared for Tuco as if he was hers. She sent photos and communicated with me while I was away. Thank you, I will definitely book with her again.
Jennifer took excellent care of our dog Oreo. He had a pleasure of staying with her for five days. She was constantly keeping us updated on his well-being and sending photos which the kids loved. We will be using her again. She’s a very caring, loving lady for Our fur baby.
Our Molly is a rescue and this was our first time leaving her so we were a bit nervous. After our meet and greet we decided to give Stephen a chance. We were not disappointed. Molly was not only watched but treated like a part of the family. We also received regular pictures and updates showing Molly relaxing and having fun. We are so grateful for the care she was given and plan to have Stephen as our regular sitter.
I met Scott 3 three weeks before my trip and he was so nice. I knew I found a good sitter to take care of Mickie. Nervously I dropped Mickie off on the day of my trip and handed written instructions to Scott. I had no reason to be nervous he took such good care of Mickie. Scott was so pleased with Mickie's behavior and I couldn't be happier. I would use Scott again without a doubt.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Clearwater on Rover is $44.4 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 Dog Boarding 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 Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,882 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Clearwater. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Clearwater sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Clearwater landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Clearwater home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Clearwater.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Clearwater sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
