About: I've worked at a pet store for three years and was a manager of said store for one of those years. I've worked in and volunteered at veterinary clinics. I've also volunteered and interned at the Humane Society of Pinellas. I work well with not only cats and dogs but exotic animals, such as reptiles, amphibians, birds, fish, and small rodents. All in all, I'm a huge animal lover! I work part time and I am also a full time student, so Monday - Thursday mornings 7am-11am work best for me. I am able to do feedings, walks, and medications for your pet(s). I'm experienced giving animals their needed medication. I enjoy walks and exercise in the morning, which is how I take care of my parent's dogs. I've also helped to take care of their chickens. I also have exotic animals and I am experienced with working with them professionally as well.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, as well as cats. I’m currently a proud dog mom to a 3-year-old German Shepherd, so I’m especially comfortable with large, energetic breeds and understand the importance of exercise, patience, consistency, and lots of attention. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’m happy to follow your instructions closely to make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, feeding, or simply some extra love and company, I’ll care for them like I would my own. 🐾 I currently have a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of availability for walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with your pets! I’m available throughout the week and can accommodate a variety of schedules and routines. I live in an apartment community with plenty of space for walks and a dog park for exercise and playtime. I also have my own German Shepherd and am experienced with balancing exercise, play, structure, and downtime throughout the day. In a client’s home, I’ll follow your pet’s usual feeding, walking, potty, and play schedule as closely as possible. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, cuddles, and plenty of photo updates so you know how your pet is doing!

About: While earning a B.S. in Animal Health and Behavior from Unity Environmental University, I had the opportunities to work in a variety of animal care positions. I have experience working as a kennel attendant (dogs, cats, and exotics), dog bather, animal shelter technician, animal nutrition intern at Zoo Tampa, and pet sitter for dogs and cats (2 years). I have volunteered in veterinary clinics, animal shelters and aviary hospitals. I have a genuine passion to care for animals, treating each animal as if they are my own. I am available to pet sit in home for any period of time but will be at work from 10am - pm on Monday, Thursday and Friday. Pet Sitting - 7 days a week Dog Walking - 7 days a week Limited Hours/ Days - Monday, Thursday, Friday 10am - 4pm Pet Sitting: I find it of utmost importance to stick to an animal's routine as closely as possible while their owners are away. Leaving your pets while you go out of town can be stressful, I aim to alleviate any concerns by maintaining proper communication, and by caring for your animal as if they were my own girl, Sadie. Each animal is different in so many ways, I aim to touch base with clients regarding medication, allergies, likes and dislikes, weekday/weekend routine and more. I am a simple person, either reading a book, studying, or going on a walk. I am trained in dog walking techniques and feel comfortable walking reactive dogs, as my dog is reactive herself.

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.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Clearwater

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Clearwater. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 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 , 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.
