“Kallie came by several times a day to check in on our dogs while we were out of town. She fed them, walked them, and played with them. She kept us updated the entire time and sent pictures during her visits, which we always looked forward to. When we came home it was clear they were happy and well taken care of. We would definitely use her again! Thank you!! 😊”

About: I grew up on a farm. We had lots of cats and dogs and other animals. I’ve always had a strong love for cats and dogs. I currently have one tuxedo cat and she loves to play with other kitty cats. I’ve cared for many sick animals given shots and medication multiple times a day when needed and can be in contact with pet owners throughout the day when needed. I am a professional stock photographer and work out of my home so I have lots of time to dedicate to loving your pet. I work from my Home Office studio as a professional stock photographer, and Marketing Consultant . I can be available for pet care at all days and all times. I have a fenced in backyard if needed. If I’m caring for your pet in my home, I do have a fenced in backyard if that is a requirement
About: Hi, I’m Ocean! I’m a Veterinary Technician with over 13 years of hands on experience caring for dogs, cats, and other animals. Working in veterinary medicine has given me the knowledge and confidence to care for pets of all ages, personalities, and medical needs. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, a senior who needs extra patience, or requires medications or special care, you can feel confident knowing they’re in experienced hands. My top priorities are always your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine, provide plenty of love and attention, and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own because I know they’re family. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Pet care is a part of my daily and weekly routine because I already work full-time as a veterinary technician. I’m used to structuring my days around animal care, including feeding schedules, medication times, monitoring behavior, and making sure each pet gets the attention they need. On a typical day, I’m already in a rhythm of caring for multiple animals, so adding pet sitting or drop-ins fits in smoothly before or after work, as well as on my days off. I’m very organized and plan ahead to make sure each pet in my care gets consistent, reliable attention. I’m a calm, reliable, and detail oriented person who understands that every pet has their own personality and needs. Whether your pet needs extra patience, a specific routine, medication, or just some loving attention while you’re away, I’m happy to help. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and my goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pet feels right at home.
“Grace did an amazing job watching my puppy, Saylor, for a few hours. She was attentive, caring, and kept me updated the whole time. Saylor was happy and relaxed when I got home, which says everything. I’d definitely trust Grace to dog sit again!”
“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.”
“Zachary was amazing! Our dog loved him instantly and he was so patient with her. He kept us updated with photos. He dropped in on our dog multiple times during an impending hurricane - I would have understood if he’d canceled under the circumstances. I would absolutely use Zachary’s services again.”
About: I have a greyhound/pitbull/husky named Syd. He is my best friend! Ever since I was little I love taking care of my dogs and other dogs. I am currently available just through the week 9am-2pm and after 6pm. I work at a after school care during the time I am not available. I live in an apartment complex! I usually walk my dog around and he neighborhood to get his energy. He loves other dogs and he is very friendly!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Clearwater stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.

- 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
