“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!!”
“This was our first time boarding our fur baby with anyone, and it went SO well! Yessica and Kevin are naturals with dogs and they really knew how to get our girl acclimated to her surroundings with a patient introduction to toys, to them as caregivers, and then to each of the other fur babies who were in their care. Our clingy girl did great and we felt relaxed in knowing that she was comfortable. She has never-ending energy and was able to play her heart out! I will say she slept hard when we brought her home and even enjoyed a lazy day the day after coming home, lol! Highly recommend!”
“I booked Taylor for a last minute trip and she was wonderful to work with! She was very responsive and flexible during the booking process and sent lots of communication and photos during the stay. I would definitely recommend her and book with her again.”
“This was my third time booking with Alli and my dog wasn’t feeling well. She gave him medicine and offered him different food to help him feel better. I am so glad I left him with her even when it was terrible timing for me to be away. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Jen was an absolute angel helping with Journey during a transportation hiccup and scheduling miscommunication between my trainer and me. I needed someone to bridge the gap between Journey being dropped off by her transporter and my trainer's daughter being available to receive her, and Jen stepped in without hesitation. Despite the uncertainty around the transport timing and ultimately an early 6:00 AM drop-off, she was communicative, flexible, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. She not only took wonderful care of Journey, but also coordinated the final handoff and personally dropped her off for me, making what could have been a very stressful situation feel seamless. She sent photo updates, kept me informed every step of the way, and treated Journey like one of her own. I truly can't thank her enough. If you're considering booking with Jen, I would do so without hesitation. She went above and beyond in every way. ★★★★★ Highly recommend!”
“Jessica was wonderful! She kept in touch with us frequently to give updates on how our dog Brody was doing. He looked very happy during his week long stay at Jessica’s house. We highly recommend Jessica! 😊”
“I was so happy that I found Linda! I had not been taking vacations because I did not have a dog sitter because I was new to Florida. She was so careful and loving with Pippy. Pippy is on medication and she was very good to make sure she got it twice a day. She provided updates on Pippy’s care. I feel so blessed to have Linda and now I can take vacations with a peace of mind!”
“Malu had a wonderful stay with Athena and Richi! She stayed with them for a couple of days and they took amazing care of her. They were very responsive and sent photos and updates every day, which gave me so much peace of mind. You can really tell they treat dogs like family. I highly recommend them and would definitely book again!”
“Very grateful Joan and Jerry could take Evie last minute. They were incredibly caring, attentive and showed Evie a lot of love and patience. Evie has separation anxiety and needs a bit more attention. Joan and Jerry were phenomenal in making Evie feel loved and safe. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our little girl!”
“Mowgli loved it, was super scared to leave him overnight first time. But Judson was really supportive and made me feel much better about whole thing. Mowgli was great when I picked him up.”
“Marissa and her husband are just amazing! Marissa asked great questions about our sweet boy and she is a fantastic listener. She sent fantastic pictures and updates - I can’t say enough about her attention to detail and amazing care of our pup while we were out of town. We will absolutely be using Marissa to watch our boy again and I couldn’t recommend her more! She even gave us the most adorable report card with attached pictures- truly above and beyond!”
About: I have a solid foundation in pet care, having spent time caring for my own animals over the years as well as the pets of others. My focus is on creating a safe and enjoyable experience for pets, while also offering peace of mind to pet owners. Whether it’s for daily walks, extended stays, or one-on-one care, I’m dedicated to providing pets with the attention and love they deserve. I work a standard 8-5pm shift and work remotely which gives *some* flexibility to travel if needed. Other than that, mornings, evenings and weekends are completely flexible and opened allowing me to provide you consistent and reliable service. Leaving your pets is hard enough, knowing they are in good hands makes it just a little easier! I’d like to provide your pets with the same level of care, consideration and attention just as if they were my own. I’d ensure to maintain the pet's routine such as feedings, regular exercise and offer companionship along with any other specific care instructions required. Additionally, respecting your home is also part of my job-ensuring it is secure, tidy, and that the pet’s well-being is prioritized during my time with them.
“I couldn’t have asked for a nicer home for my most cherished possession. So accommodating when my plans made a sudden change. I would recommend and frequent Daniel on any of my out of town trips. 10 out of 10!”
“Linda was awesome! We never had to worry about our furbaby while on vacation. She was super accommodating and you can tell she has a gentle heart. She sent lots of pictures and made sure to play with our pup lots. Cannot recommend enough, a great decision!”
“Jean is absolutely fabulous and goes above and beyond for your pets. She was in contact with us daily, at a minimum, and sent photos and updates letting us know how our pups were doing. One of our dogs is “special” and usually gets gastritis after boarding due to her high anxiety. For the first time, she is a happy, healthy pup after vacation! No gastritis at all! They actually didn’t seem to be in a hurry to come home! Due to the extraordinary care she gave, we didn’t worry about our pups as much as we normally do while away. We will 100% be using Jean again for future vacations and HIGHLY recommend her. Do yourself and your pups a favor and book with Jean.”
“We had an amazing experience with Jessica and Colin! They watched Lulu for three weeks and took such wonderful care of her. It was clear from the updates and photos that she was happy, comfortable, and getting lots of love and attention. We came home to a very happy pup! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and trustworthy sitter”

Amazing!!! Our dog absolutely loved her!!! The reviews are correct, she takes a ton of pictures so you never feel like you’re missing out on the fun your pup is having, and they’re great photos as well! Very flexible with pick up and drop off times and very responsive. Definitely using her services again!
Nancy went above and beyond in caring for Monty. Unfortunately he developed an ear infection that presented right after we left and Nancy arranged a vet appointment, took Monty for the visit and administered his meds the remainder of the week. This was certainly above and beyond care and we thank her sincerely!
Norma was just perfect. She was very caring towards Willy. But her back yard was full of smells and needed exploring. Her communication was great and there were no issues. Thank you Norma! Willy was worn out in the short time he was with her. Which means he was probably acting insane for her….
Julia and Quinn were absolutely awesome with our dog. They are very kind, professional, and loving dog people. Our dog had the best time with their two little Boston terriers. We would definitely recommend them to watch your pup. We felt extremely comfortable and knew he was safe in their care. Will book with them in the future! Thank you!
We left our dog, Finn, with Jason for a five-day weekend, and we could not be happier with the care he received. Jason sent fun photo updates and was patient with Finn and his quirks without any issues. When we picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and we could see how well he was taken care of.
Kennedi took great care of my Teacup Yorki with at least two walks a day and she even gave him a bath. He was very comfortable with her and had no problems, and she sent me photos and/or a video every day. There was no problem communicating with her and she responded quickly to my texts. I'd be happy to recommend her to anyone, especially to those with small or midsized dogs.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Clearwater is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $60 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 2,864 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 routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Clearwater can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Clearwater home-away-from-home, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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.
