“Tania took good care of my cat. She comforted him while I was away and put cat appropriate shows on TV for him. (He likes watching birds) she kept his food and water maintained and sent me photos. Would use her again. Stellar sitter”
“Anthony has been a great help with our pug, Max. Max is really comfortable with him. It gives us peace of mind that Max is in good hands while we're not home. We work all day. We feed Max brrakfast then walk him and spend a little time with him in the morning then we have to go to work. Anthony comes twice a day to spend time with Max, take him for a walk, feed him dinner and this has been a big help. Thank you, Anthony!”
About: Doing my dream job ! I grew up with animals and always had a huge spot for them in my heart. I have worked at a veterinary clinic and have a lot of experience with animals that need a bit more care emotionally and physically. I have 2 kids that give so much love to all the pups I care for, it truly is such a treat to have such beautiful animals in our home. Being able to show affection to them by walking, playing, and activities can truly help an animal mentally and also us humans. I live near an active and beautiful walk path for the pups that have a bit more energy and need to go for some exciting walks! I’ve helped family members and friends with their animals by walking, feeding, and overnight stays etc and have done volunteering at the humane society & I have fostered at FosterPets Hillsborough county and had the pleasure of spending time with the beautiful dogs from the facility. I am usually available very often so please don’t hesitate to contact me with questions 🙂 I am very flexible and try my best 🤗 I live near an active walk path we can enjoy and also have a very cozy area inside for their comfort. Also loving children that will shower them with affection. I live very close to dog parks and other outdoor areas as well.
“Hailey took such great care of my cat. Though I'm not planning anymore trips right away, i will definitely rebook her. I highly recommend her! My cat is super shy with new people, but with Hailey, they were fast friends and my kitty absolutely loved her. I'm so thankful that I found her.”
“Autumn took great care of our cat, JJ, while we were away, giving him plenty of cuddles and play and letting me know when he wasn’t feeling so hot one day. We so appreciated her attention and communication!”
“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: 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 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: 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: 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: 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.
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.
About: I love animals and have been surrounded by dogs and cats my whole life. Not only do I care for my two dogs (Gilbert and Bella!) but I have a lifetime of experience taking care of dogs and cats for my friends and family. I specialize in walking dogs and have experience walking in heavily populated areas, although I prefer to take dogs to parks and surround them by nature when I can. I am perfectly comfortable working with multiple dogs, but I am equally comfortable working with a single dog and keeping others from approaching if that is what the dog needs. Walking a dog is about what the dog needs, not what the people or surrounding dogs want. Sometimes that is a busy walk or trip to the dog park for socialization, and sometimes that is a quiet solo walk. Additionally, I am always prepared with snacks, water, and poop bags on my walks. I am also comfortable doing drop-in visits for some playtime, feeding, and/or a bathroom break. I am happy to provide the care that your pet needs! I work from home, part-time, so I have a very flexible schedule! I am happy to work with your pet in the early mornings, middle of day, or in the afternoon. I am available some evenings, but this fluctuates and might change day-to-day. I will always bring water, snacks, poop bags, and extra leashes & collars with me. I am happy to walk your dog by themselves or with other dogs. Similarly, I am happy to take your dog to a dog park for some off-leash exercise and socialization, but it is ultimately up to you! I am happy to accomodate whatever your pet needs.
“Amazing service!!!! Needed to find someone last minute and Athena & Richi were there to the rescue! Really appreciate all they did to help my Tank. Would definitely recommend!”
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.
“Our pups loved hanging with Julia! She put our minds at ease by sending us pics and detailed updates on how they were doing. We will definitely be using her services in the future!”

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
