“She took excellent care of our standard poodle and our kitty while we were away. Great communication and she also administered medication to our cat. Not an easy feat. Would definitely recommend her and have her sit for us again.”

“Alli was so great with Winston! We received updates from her multiple times a day and she made sure he was well taken care of! Winnie was very happy to play with a friend this weekend and he was wiped out when we picked him up. Would highly recommend her!”
“Our baby Luna was taken care of per usual by Jennifer, Olive, and princess Amelia! We can tell you confidently our pupper Luna had too much fun with them while we were away. I live 2 hours away from Jennifer and we had to travel internationally for a few days but I wouldn’t have it any other way. Jennifer is simply the best! She’s going to take great care of your 4 legged babies and they will have a fun time when you book a stay!”
“Lee took great care of my cat while I was away. He followed my instructions, sent videos and pictures, and made sure my cat felt safe and happy. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“They were amazing! Super reliable, friendly, and treated our dog like family. They sent lots of photos and video updates, which gave us such peace of mind. We came home to a very happy pup. Highly recommend!”
“Very warm home with a yard and a really cute and energetic playmate(Cooper) for my pup. Cookie had a great time, I could tell from the photos and the feedback. We will return for sure. Thank you so much!”
About: I am currently in my mid 30's and I have spent majority of my life owning, training and loving animals and most notably dogs. I have raised and cared for a diversity of breeds such as poodles, terriers and higher energy breeds like boxers and labs. This also means I can care for puppies and senior dogs alike. I am prior military with the Navy and spent time training and working alongside K-9 units. I do my best to be flexible for any fur baby needs or attentions. I do work full time within the healthcare system, but I allow myself to adjust work life and extracurricular activities such as dog sitting. Please when reaching out if I do not respond immediately you can text or leave a voicemail. I have multiple calls and I do my best to screen calls from spam. That being said I can currently best accommodate weekend clients(Fri evenings - Sunday evenings) and anyone seeking boarding and sitting during normal working hours (Monday mornings- Friday afternoons) must understand that if your pet is kennel trained then there is still a potential of a 8-10 hour window of them being either alone or in the kennel. All sitting details will be discussed further upon scheduling. I do have a fenced yard so while your fur baby is here we will be outside for bathroom times and play times. Larger breed dogs will have plenty of space to enjoy and I will be supervising them the entire time. Your pet will not be left outside alone at any time. We will go for regular walks throughout the day and car rides will only be permitted by you the owner (especially to any public parks). I prefer to avoid such places due to factors that will be out of my control and I do not want to risk any interactions with other dogs. I set a regular schedule during your pet's stay or any preferred set schedule that you may have established already. If your fur baby likes to be a food sneak I will have any harmful snacks put away and out of reach. In the summer to avoid any damage to your pet's pads/paws we will limit walks by leash on any concrete to mornings and evenings.
“Marissa was absolutely outstanding. We have a Doberman Pinscher and he was treated with a lot of love at her house. We left him with Marissa for 17 days. Marissa was professional, caring, organized, and resourceful. She provided me the care and support I needed to leave my baby in someone else's hands. I trust her with my Dobie and so should you. Thank you Marissa & husband for the fantastic work.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 20. My family has had birds, fish, turtles, cats and dogs. Kimmy is the first dog I got when I moved from my parent's house and I have had her since she was a puppy, we moved to this country from Guatemala (I'm a Spanish speaker) and of course, wherever I go, she will go! We recently added (adopted) Cairo and BonBon to our family. I have volunteered in shelters as a dog walker and have fostered pets. ( currently, I’m volunteering in a shelter around the area as a Dog walker). So I have experience with different types of dogs and I can handle different personalities and needs. I have taken care of family and friends' pets for years, my experience goes from high-energy huskies and playful pitties to delicate and high-maintenance chihuahuas. Also, I can take care of fish or turtles since I have done it since I was a kid. I'm very careful with my furbabies and treat them like royalty, rest assured I’ll treat your babies like mine! Im currently working from home, and my schedule is usually free on weekends, so If you need a quick vacation I have time to take care of your pet and make them feel comfortable. Also, I like to dedicate to one family at a time, so you can have that peace of mind when you are away. I can take them for walks or just ensure they are safe and feel comfy in their own space, depending on their temper and routine. I’ll focus 100 % on them and accommodate their needs. We have a fenced patio and a dog park near by our home. They will never be unsupervised, my husband is also here almost all day, so they will never be alone. For the more shy babies, I have a crate and space to set a safe/comfy space for them. Also, if you prefer, I can set a separate space for them away and ensure they are not around my pets.
About: Hi! I’ve been caring for animals of all kinds since I was 11 years old, and they’ve always been a huge part of my life. I currently have a mini Goldendoodle, and my roommate has a medium Goldendoodle, so I’m very familiar with their energy, personalities, and daily care needs. I’m reliable, hardworking, and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your furry friend needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or attentive care while you’re away, I’d love the opportunity to help. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, happy, and cared for every step of the way! I work fully from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give your pet the attention, care, and companionship they deserve throughout the day. Whether it’s frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, or just having someone around to keep them company, I’m able to be attentive to their needs. I’ll make sure your furry friend feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a fully fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely play, explore, and get some fresh air. I especially enjoy taking dogs on walks to help them get exercise. Every dog is different, so I’m happy to match their energy level and routine to make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for.
“Emma was awesome and was totally flexible with scheduling. She shocked us by offering to pick up our Westie at the Clearwater Beach resort so that we could just enjoy a much needed mini vaca. Daisy took to her immediately and was tail wagging from the start! Very happy!!”
“Elyse took our dog Buttercup last minute when our plans changed. She kept her for five days. She communicated quickly with any questions I had and sent me updates. Buttercup was very well cared for and seemed very content and comfortable when we picked her up. I would not hesitate to leave her there again. Her and her husband and son are obvious animal lovers.”
“Asha had a wonderful time with Daniel. He provided regular updates and communication was great. She loved hanging out with his friendly dog, taking walks, and playing in their fenced yard.”
“Rachel was amazing in taking care of our cat. She sent bunch of pictures and videos. Our Osman was comfortable in her house, and we were happy knowing he is in good hands.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Clearwater is $42
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Clearwater
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.
