About: I've been caring for animals all my life. Dogs, hamsters and birds were part of my household growing up. My purpose and passion is to care for animals in whatever capacity I can. From dogs and cats to birds, ferrets and reptiles. I have worked in the veterinary field for 30 + years. One of those hospitals was an avian and exotic hospital. I am a certified veterinary assistant although generally preferred the front desk aspect. I have chosen to leave that field and focus on pets in their home. I love pet sitting. I've been doing it on the side for close to 30years. I particularly love senior pets and cats. I love the close relationships I develop with the animals in my care. I will love and care for you pet as I do my own. This is my full time employment. I am available to drop in to your home as much as 2-3 times a day as needed. I do not board in my home and will occasionally be available for overnight stays. I will come to your home and follow your instructions to the letter. I will keep the space clean and tidy and care for a few plants as well. Your pet will receive lots of loving attention from me. Lots of snuggles if they so choose or playtime or just general company. I respect all pets boundaries.
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!
About: Hi I’m Hauna! I’ve always been a dog person. Big or small I will treat them like my own. I am trustworthy, reliable, active, and I give the best pets. My childhood dog passed away 2 years ago and I miss him with my whole heart. Life truly is way better with a dog in your life. I would love to spend some time with your pup! I just moved down to Clearwater and am currently in the middle of finding work in this area. For now I have a completely open schedule but will adjust my days depending on work in the future. Your pets safety is my top priority! I make sure with every walk or visit I am always making sure the environment is pet-friendly. I want your pup to feel comfortable and happy. I treat every pet like my own. You can count on me to be reliable, trustworthy, and I’ll always keep you posted with photos! I’m happy to set up a meet and greet to make sure your pets feel comfortable and we’re a perfect fit for sitting!
“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.”
“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.”
“Melanie was amazing! She was so sweet to my cat and took wonderful care of her while I was away. I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in such good hands. She sent great photos and videos, which were super reassuring, and it was clear she spent real quality time playing with her and keeping her happy. I highly recommend Melanie!”
About: I have several years of experience training and caring for dogs of different breeds, including Maltese, Beagles, and Collies. My approach focuses on positive reinforcement, consistency, and understanding each dog’s individual personality. I currently train my own 1.5-year-old Border Collie, which keeps me active and constantly improving my handling and communication skills. Whether it’s teaching basic obedience, leash manners, or creating structure at home, I adapt to each dog’s needs to help them stay calm, confident, and well-behaved. I have a very flexible schedule with plenty of availability for dog sitting, including daytime, overnight, and weekend stays. I can adjust easily to your dog’s usual routine for feeding, walking, and playtime to make the transition as stress-free as possible. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment complex with designated dog areas for training and play. The environment is quiet, secure, and perfect for safe outdoor time. Inside, dogs are always supervised, kept comfortable, and treated with the same care and attention as my own. Safety, structure, and comfort are my top priorities at all times.
About: Growing up with dogs and cats has taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and providing consistent care. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning, giving attention, and making sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. My current position is super flexible especially in the afternoons, being at place i can do my job anywhere. So helping take of animals is something I can easily do for you! I care for pets with the same attention, patience, and respect I would give my own. When visiting a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions and routines closely, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box care, and any other requested needs. I make sure pets are comfortable, safe, and receiving plenty of attention while their owners are away. I also keep the home clean and secure, provide updates and photos when requested, and pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and individual personality.
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!!
“James was absolutely the best! He responded quickly, was extremely friendly and accommodating. My pup is a little high maintenance and my needs a little unique, but he was able to help me out in what was a pretty “out of the box” situation. His assistance was essential in providing necessary care for my boy. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for pet care in the area and truly thank him for his help!”
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.
“Kaitlin took great care of my pup while I was away on vacation. She was very communicative about her visits and shared lots of love with my Great Dane, Lola! Very grateful for her overall sitting care.”
“Caitlin is amazing!! We just moved to the area full-time and have 2 older dogs that require medication. Caitlin came and had a “meet and greet”, and then watched them from Thurs. to Sat. for us. We got daily update and cute photos. We highly recommend Caitlin and will be using her in the future! Leigh S.”

About: I’ve traveled across the United States with my dogs, exploring incredible natural wonders together. They’re more than pets—they’re family, my pride and joy, and beautifully trained. That deep connection helps me understand and care for every dog as if they were my own. Send me your days my availability is very flexible! Most days I am free and I would love to get to know you’re fur babies My dogs are kenneled while I am away and my cats are separated in their rooms. If I am away at work during a boarding session your doggy will have to be kenneled. I do not allow unkenneled dogs roaming the house while I am not watching.

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.

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.
