“I needed a last minute sitter and Elizabeth came through. My dogs looked happy when I came home and I was able to enjoy my evening knowing my dogs were well cared for. Highly recommend.”
About: I have 15 years of experience providing loving, reliable pet care, including feeding, medication, walks, playtime, overnight stays, and plenty of attention, comfort, and companionship. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available for overnight stays, daily drop-in visits, walks, and can easily adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s individual needs. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I carefully follow each pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions from their owner. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and supervision while always keeping their safety my top priority. 🐾❤️
About: Please read through all of my profile before submitting a request as I have specifications that your dogs may or may not meet. Also please note that puppies are an addition fee of $20 that will get adjusted after we communicate. I am a semi retired certified dog trainer and have been training and boarding for 20 yrs. I worked closely with rescues and animal shelters and was training director for a shelter in southern California. I require a mandatory meet and greet before accepting new dogs, but there could be an odd exception. I generally only have one dog at a time, although may take two dogs maximum, if I think they are a compatible match. I am rarely gone for more than two hours at a time. All adult dogs must be spayed/ neutered. Puppies under 9 months should be crate trained and would need the crate brought with them. My border/husky mix is a playful boy but is also respectful of older dogs who dont want to play. I have a pool they can swim in. Your dog will always be supervised when outside. I am happy to work on training while boarding if you wish. Thanks, and I look forward to meeting your kids! NOTE: I no longer take in Bully breeds or mixes of the breed due to homeowner restrictions. Also I would need to reject any dogs that show aggression so please be upfront I will know immediately with my experience. I'm retired so home most of the day so we get to play and cuddle most of the daytime and night. It's up to them where they want to sleep. Padlocks on gates. Safety is my number one priority. I worked many years in animal shelters and as a trainer and know exactly how to keep them from getting out and lost.
“Natalie has been absolutely fantastic with my four dogs. She handles them all with no problem at all. She is responsible and flexible with schedule changes and that has been a big help as my work schedule does fluctuate. The dogs just love her and we feel very fortunate to have her as our daily pet sitter. I would strongly recommend Natalie if you are looking for peace of mind when it comes to having someone trustworthy to care for your pets.”
About: I’ve been around dogs from a young age, so caring for them has always been a natural and meaningful part of my life. I have experience with dogs of all different sizes and personalities, from small Maltipoos to gentle giants like Great Pyrenees, as well as mixed breeds. I know every dog has their own little quirks, routines, and ways of feeling comfortable, and I love taking the time to get to know each one. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or would rather relax and get lots of attention, I’m happy to adjust to what makes them happiest. I’m also comfortable giving oral medications as long as detailed instructions are provided. Most importantly, I want you to feel confident knowing your dog is being treated with plenty of patience, affection, and care while you’re away. So don’t worry, you’ll get several photos a day. 😊🐾 I’m currently attending physical therapy school so my schedule is extremely flexible unless I have to be on campus. Otherwise, I am usually free and would love to spend my break with your pup. I can also meet you in advance for a meet and greet. Before I arrive, I always ask for detailed instructions, such as where your dog’s belongings are and how they are outside on their leash. I’ll ask if they have any reactivity or anxiety. I will also offer a meet-and-greet before our first session. Then, upon arrival, I will communicate with you that I am there before I take the time to get to know your pup and start building their trust. We will play, walk, and cuddle with plenty of pets. I will also ensure they have water and if requested are fed or crated before I leave. I am also comfortable operating e-collars if properly shown your pup’s settings beforehand. Don’t worry, you will receive plenty of photos and a thorough update afterwards!
“Deb is great! She’s reliable, and gives Rip extra long walks which he loves. Deb is patient with Rip, and gives him guidance all along the way. Deb also sends us constant updates, with awesome photos of our Rip!! I do recommend her for your next dog walk.”
“Allison made sure our two kitties were taken care of while we were away. Even our shy little girl came out to greet her! I’m so happy to have found someone responsible to come and feed our babies.”
About: Having a lifelong background with canine companions, I am dedicated to offering your pet the same high standard of individualized care, supervision, and playtime that I provide for my two Goldens. A variety of enrichment toys and approved treats are always available. I am also pleased to coordinate structured neighborhood walks or authorized outings to local parks. Working remotely, I am home throughout the day to provide continuous care and supervision. I offer flexible arrangements, including in-home pet sitting at your residence or boarding at my home. I have a fenced-in back yard with plenty of room to run and play with my two Golden Retrievers. I can easily crate your pet if needed or requested.
About: I grew up owning dogs & cats. When I got my own house I expanded! I currently have two dogs, a bearded dragon, some fish and five chickens! I’ve always started from babies with any animal I take in, so I can properly train them and build a relationship. I am open to any kind of pet you send my way. I prefer to come to your home, as I have young children and animals of my own. My availability is very open as I work from home. I work from home so my availability is very open. My children have baseball 2 nights a week and mornings on Saturdays, but I will manage my time around caring for your pets! I would prefer going to my clients home as I have young children and two big dogs; that way their fur baby is comfortable in their own environment. Walking, playing, treats (if allowed) will be a big thing, and lots of snuggles!!
About: Animal lover, I grew up with dogs. Will take care of your fur baby like it’s my own. Helping one tail wag at a time. Work full time but I have Wednesdays and weekends off, during my work days I am available for early walks and evening walks. If needed I may accommodate for walks around noon. I work for a Police Department which have done extensive background checks and drug tests. When taking care of your pets I make sure to follow the instructions provided for each pet and accommodate to their needs.
About: Hi! I’m Angelee, and I’ve spent the last 6 years ensuring pets stay happy, healthy, and tired out while their humans are away. Whether it’s a high-energy hike for your Lab or a patient, quiet visit for a shy senior cat, I tailor my care to every animal's unique personality. I currently work a full time 8 hours a day, so about every 8 hours I can take care of your pet and walk when I get home and feed. Before I leave for work I will feed and let out and play for a few until it’s time. I do not have a fenced in area but I do have a ground leash that give your pets the ability to run around and sniff out different areas.
About: Helped foster animals for a while. I love animals cats, dogs and whatever they maybe. I’m pretty independent and expect every animal to have their own personality. We can play, walk, relax, chill or whatever they need. If you have a list or anything for them that might seem silly but works for your pet give it to me. I once ate cat food and dog food for pets that were shy or bashful and needed a little confidence. I have sung for them, danced with them, play and cuddled them. I’m a worker and a giver; so I will work and give your pets the best care possible. Let’s see if what I have meets your needs. I treat pets with love and respect for all the little quirks and cares that they need. Playing walking or just comforting them. They have feelings too
About: I have taken care of dogs (family, friends, coworkers, personal) for over 10 years. My lab-mix Cooper is extremely well behaved and loves making new friends! I am working part-time from home so I have ample time on the weekends and evenings to care. Also have opportunity for walks early in the morning, if needed. I have a large fenced in backyard, doggie door for easy access to outside and have a love for dogs. I will treat every visitor like my own.
About: Proud dog & cat mom — from training my big pup to rescuing my sweet street kitty, I treat every pet like my own with love, patience, and plenty of walks, cuddles, and care. I’m currently working a full time, I have a set work schedule that rotates every 3 weeks. I’m able to fit in pet care on both morning and nights. On my days off I’m able to fit them anytime of the week! I care for every pet as if they were my own, creating a safe, loving environment built on trust. Your furry family member will feel happy, secure, and completely loved while you’re away.
“Kierra was absolutely amazing!! She took great care of my cats while I was away. Any time she had a question she would contact me and go to extra efforts to make everything work. She is very responsive, flexible, and reliable. I highly recommend booking with her!”
“So sweet and responsive. Has done great with the dogs and is very kind and patient towards them. She was very understanding of my dog’s reactivity and we worked together to find a solution where everyone was comfortable. This has been a such a relief knowing I have someone set up to watch the pups even for just a little bit during the day.”
About: Hi! I’m Felicia, and I’m a dependable, caring pet lover who truly enjoys spending time with animals. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every pet in my care with the same patience, attention, and affection I would want for my own. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, feeding, keeping routines, giving plenty of attention, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m especially attentive to the little things—your pet’s normal routine, behavior, favorite activities, and any special instructions you provide. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust in your home and with your pets, so communication and reliability are very important to me. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, some playtime and companionship, or simply a calm and loving presence while you’re away, I’m happy to help! I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and become someone you can rely on for their care. 🐶🐾❤️ I work a full time job and have a pet of my own. But I will always take any just as serious as taking care of my own pet. I will pop in on my way to work to walk, feed, spend time with your fur baby and on my way home as well. My days off will be completely free. I know owners get anxious when leaving their fur babies behind and so do the babies when they are left alone for too long. Your four legged child will always be safe with me.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Clearwater
We faced the unfortunate reality of my German shepherd getting sick while in Kristen’s care. She was fantastic, saw to his needs, and cleaned up and all messes. I feel that she charges far too less on Rover for all she does and has done for me. If you ever need a pet sitter, I recommend Kristen be your first choice.
Absolutely wonderful experience! Mechell was reliable, trustworthy, and took excellent care of my boys! I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in such good hands. I would highly recommend Mechell to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter. I will definitely use her again!
Kara was awesome! We just moved and were not excited to leave our girls so quickly, but had a family wedding in another state. She was thorough and we had no worries about how they were doing with all the updates. We greatly appreciate her care of our ladies especially all the walks they got!
Emily has made the entire experience effortless. She’s punctual, responsive, and genuinely invested in Tycho’s well being. The photo updates are always appreciated and give me so much peace of mind. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pet!
Theresa was fantastic , on time arrivals for taking care of our two dogs. She took her time with the feedings and walks. Our dogs looked relaxed when we got home. . Would highly recommend her to anyone needing this type of service. Will use her again for our upcoming trips. Pete $ Cat

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Clearwater is $18 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 per visit. 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 6,157 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Clearwater. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Clearwater 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!
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 .
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.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Clearwater with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
