“Mia did a great job taking care of our two cats. Her communication was great and she left our house just as we left it. We would love to use Mia again to watch our fur babies in the future!”

This was a last minute booking and he still took time to meet us abs Zoey before we left. Thank you so much Brian!!! People like you make it easy to travel and have to leave you fur child behind.”
About: I have raised dogs all my life. I also have years of experience with cats, reptiles, and rabbits. I have potty trained many dogs and I’ve even taught my furry friends a few party tricks. Come and see! I work full-time as a school teacher. I am home on Saturdays and Sundays (aside from church) every week. Weekends are the best times to book boarding appointments with me. I am also available during many major holidays. I have a fenced-in backyard. I have three small dogs (under 15 pounds) and cats. I can separate my cats from your pet during the day if needed (as I have a furnished garage that they chill in). I also have a work sink where I can give animals under 20 lbs. baths. I live in a suburban environment in Dunedin, FL and I have extra medium-sized crates.
“Couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter! We have a special needs kitty and other pets as well. She went out of her way to make sure our fur babies were well taken care of in our absence. Jessica loved our pets as much as we do. We highly recommend her and will definitely hire her again!”
“Shannen did an awesome job caring for our Mollie. We felt very comfortable leaving our girl in her care and I would highly recommend her service’s for any of your pets needs!”
About: I have been around animals since I was three years old when my family began to foster dogs, lizards, and rodents of all sizes, ages, and conditions! During my high school days I completed my volunteer hours as a dog walker for the SPCA Tampa Bay. I continued pet sitting/fostering (and adopted bearded dragons) into college and have helped many a neighbor and friend find affordable and trustworthy care for their pet! I offer over-night pet care any day of the week! See you soon! I’m a nanny by day, but my evenings are all yours! From anywhere between 6pm-8am I am available to walk, potty, feed, and cuddle your fur/scale/feather baby! I will bring care and professionalism into your home making sure everything is just (if not better;) than I found it! I am great with directions as well! Tell me what you need and rest assured it will be done:)
“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.”
“I would highly recommend Julia for your doggy’s care. She took such good care of our senior dog during her drop in visit. She was very confident in administering his meds too. He had a bond with her right away! We will be having her back when the time arises!”
“Teresa is outstanding. We are very confident when traveling that our cats are shown love and affection, and that their needs are met. It was the little things she did for them/us is why we will continue to utilize Teresa. We highly recommend her.”
“I booked Jenna to care for my cat while I was away, and she was absolutely fantastic. From the start, her communication was clear, friendly, and reassuring. She sent regular updates and photos, which made it easy to relax knowing my cat was in great hands. My cat can be a little shy with new people, but Jenna was patient and gentle, and it didn’t take long for her to win her over. She got everything all perfectly, feeding, litter box, playtime and even added thoughtful touches that showed she truly cared. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive sitter on Rover.”
About: I have walked different sized and aged dogs before through volunteering for a dog and cat shelter. I love high energy dogs because they help make sure I get my exercise for the day. I am available during the summer because I am not working much. I will take care of your dogs like they are your kids. I am comfortable taking care of dogs. I know it's important to make sure dogs stay happy while in my care. I will make sure dogs and their owners feel exceptional and well taken care of after I work with them, I am interested in getting to know you and have me get to know your dogs. It's important to have someone to give attention at all times I currently work part time. It's easy for me to do walks in the morning and evening and night time and but I am able to board any time of the week as my boyfriend is able to help as well. I have a large fenced yard and live in a quiet street and neighborhood. There is plenty of space to rest and relax and we can go for long walks together.
About: I will walk them, feed them, and give them lots of play time and love! I have a huge dog park outside my townhome, so I can take them there if desired, or I can walk or run with them myself! I have a huge townhome so plenty of space to roam. I was raised with dogs and took care of them my entire life. I'll make sure they feel right at home, when they are away from home! I work full-time so I am looking for more evening hours and I have some flexibility on weekends as well. I can go to you if needed, or they can come to me, I don't mind either way! I look forward to meeting you and your companion! Open availability at this time! Whatever routine is needed I can work with! Very adaptable! Look forward to meeting your fur babe and giving them the care they need! I care for animals - they are apart of the family! Whatever care routine is needed for your furbabe I will ensure happens in my care!
About: I have been pet sitting and walking for a decade now and have my own pets. I can handle small and big dogs as well as young and old dogs. I go at their speed with a gentle push so we get some distance in too. I work from home most days and that allows a flexible schedule to get plenty of play time and walks in throughout the day or I care for them like my own and cuddle as much as possible if they like that. If not we just chill and keep each other company
About: I have owned a shih-tzu all my life. I have one now named Bruno. All of them have been well trained. Bruno competes in agility competitions. I am looking to help my community by offering dog walks and visits on the weekend. Life can be stressful and things come up. If you are like me and are single it is hard to find help when help is needed. I am a nurse and I work Monday thru Friday 830-5 pm. I can walk at night and on weekends. Thank you for your trust! I have a fenced in backyard. Crating is no problem. Lots of walks for little Bruno. Want to share the love for another fur baby.
“Stephanie was great and my pup loved her! She checked in both when she arrived and as she was leaving and sent pics of her visit which was much appreciated being away from home. She helped feeding my pup his special food, taking him out, and gave him love and attention. Thank you!”
About: Ive been taking care of cats & dogs since I was 10 years old, I understand the want for you baby's to be safe and well cared for. I have volunteered at animal hospitals, shelters and rescues since I was 14 and I truly have a love and passion for taking care of the furry creatures of the world. I am currently working a part time job, so I will have plenty of time to play and take care of your baby. I have every Tuesday and Wednesday off, and I only work 4-6 hours at time. I unfortunately cannot board your animal at my house but I am more than willing to come to your house to take care of your pets. :)
“Olga is amazing! She took care of my spoiled Spaniel Pepper. Showed up always on time and great Rover cards. Very professional and now Pepper loves her. Will be a regular! Thanks”

Brooke did a wonderful job getting to know our little doggy… She was responsible, reliable, and professional. We received lots of pictures and lots of updates about how our doggie was doing in our absence. This made us feel more comfortable about leaving him. Highly recommended!
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
Justine took such great care of my little man. He is a high energy dog with a medically restricted diet. It is very important to adhere to his feeding instructions. She did an amazing job caring for him and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable when he had some separation anxiety! Such a relief to have a dependable and trustworthy person to care for my boy!!!

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Clearwater. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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 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.
