“Kailynn watched our dogs while we were out of town at our house for a week. She provided our babies plenty of potty breaks, walks, and snuggles. She sent us some pictures of them also while we were away - which is always nice since we miss them for sure. She kept the house clean and had everything washed and remade for the guestroom when we came home! Will be using her again for sure in the future!”
About: I’ve grown up with pets and currently have a 5 year old poodle! He’s the best boy, but I’m sure your pet is great too! I make my own schedule as a piano tuner, so I have the ability to work around your schedule helping your pet whenever you need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routine as closely as possible to help their pets feel comfortable and secure. I’ll make sure they have fresh water, meals on schedule, exercise, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention based on their individual needs. For walks, I use secure leashes and harnesses, stay alert to our surroundings, and avoid unsafe situations to keep your pet safe. I also respect your home by keeping it clean, locking doors and gates, and treating your property with care. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Anthony was great! Took good care of a Denver with lots of walks and trips to our dog park. Very easy to communicate with him , it was nice to know Denver was in good hands. He even sent pictures everyday of her!”
“Jess was the absolute BEST for our dog! Not only did she take complete care of Kahuna but she was VERY respectful of our home and took excellent care of it as well! I would recommend Jess to anyone! I look forward to have her watch Kahuna for us again”
“Wow amazing! Amazing communication and even came by for a meet and greet with such short notice. One of our pups had some tummy troubles and she kept us updated the entire time and even made a vet visit on our behalf. The whole process she made a breeze. We will for sure be using again. She loves dogs.. it radiates off her!! Our boys seemed so so happy and we felt comfortable having her stay in our home.”
About: I've taken care of multiple dogs at once at a doggy daycare and I'm comfortable working with big and small dogs. I'm good at taking high-energy dogs on walks. I am available every Tuesday, Wednesday and Sunday all day long. I am available during the morning and afternoon on Monday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Whether it's going for walks, playing in the backyard or sitting together, I'm used to being around lots of dogs with different needs and work on making sure they are comfortable and happy.
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 will always ask for a meet and great before committing to boarding or sitting. I want you to hear you concerns and needs and make sure we are a good fit. Your pet will get lots of cuddles, walks and playtime. I have open availability and will work with you to ensure that your loved one is cared for. If I am in your home I will follow the routine and rules you have in place for the well being of your pet. If I am onboarding your furry friend feeding/ potty and bed times will be adhered to.
“Hailee house sat with our dog who has separation anxiety. Meaning she couldn’t leave the house. Not ideal for sure. This is the first time we had used a house sitter and we were a bit nervous. Everything went perfectly! We are so thankful for Hailee and will definitely use her again. Thank-you Hailee 🐕”
“Kallie was absolutely incredible, my pup can be a little nervous sometimes & immediately was comfortable with her. She never failed to update me with photos and how the day was going. I will definitely be using her again ♥️”
“Brandi is very kind and polite. She sent me tons of photos and updates, even for a short trip, which made me fell much more comfortable with her during our first booking. I will definitely book her again!”
“James did a great job with my dogs while house sitting! He was communicative, reliable, and gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dogs are used to a lot of attention and company, and he made sure they were well cared for and comfortable. He also left my home clean and exactly as I left it, which I really appreciated. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend James to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter, and I’d definitely book with him again. Thank you for taking such great care of my pups! 🐾”
“Deb was truly a blessing! Thank you for taking care or our little Logan and our home. We are so grateful for her and truly were able to be at ease knowing that Logan was in great hands.”
About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for animals and a background in veterinary care. I’m comfortable working with dogs and cats of different ages, personalities, and energy levels, including pets who are anxious, nervous, or need a little extra patience and reassurance. I’m experienced with walks, feeding, playtime, enrichment, basic medication routines, and keeping pets safe and comfortable. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual routine and personality so they can feel happy and secure while you’re away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to give every pet plenty of love, attention, exercise, and care while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. 🐾🤍 Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life, so caring for other pets naturally fits into my routine. I’m used to building my day around feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and giving pets plenty of attention and companionship. I have three cats and two dogs of my own, so I understand how important consistency and keeping a pet’s normal routine can be. I’m happy to work around each pet’s individual schedule and needs, whether that means a quick potty break, a long walk, medication, or simply some extra love and cuddles while you’re away. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like they’re part of my own family. 🐾🤍 I care for every pet as an individual and always take the time to learn their routine, personality, and specific needs. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely and keep their pets’ normal feeding, walking, playtime, and medication schedules as consistent as possible. I’m very experienced with giving medications and comfortable caring for pets with different needs, ages, and personalities. I also treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’ll keep things clean and secure, provide plenty of attention and enrichment, and send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pets are happy and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾🤍
“I have never left my dog with anyone other than family or friends so I was nervous using rover for my first time. I had a friend cancel for watching my dog Saint a DAY before a trip I had planned. I was freaking out and didn’t know what to do. I found Kierra and rover and gave it a shot. She accepted my booking the day before I left and I couldn’t be more thankful. Kierra exceeded my expectations x 100! My dog Saint loves her and when I came home he was happy and well taken care of. Kierra checked in with me and sent me photos during my time away which made me feel sooooo much better. I would 100% recommend her to anyone, and will be using her services anytime I go out of town again and can’t take my baby!”

I had an excellent experience with Jason. He took wonderful care of Smokey during my trip and was incredibly friendly, professional, and accommodating throughout the entire process. My travel plans changed on both ends of the booking, and he was extremely understanding and flexible with the adjustments, which I really appreciated. He followed all of my instructions perfectly, took great care of Smokey, and left my home very clean and exactly as I had left it. It’s such a relief to find someone you can trust with both your pet and your home. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely book with him again. Highly recommend!
Beverly took great care of our puppy. She communicated daily with texts and pictures. It was so good to know she was safe and cared for while we were out of the country! Poppy is a handful and Beverly gave her 3 walks a day. Thankful we had Beverly to count on.
Brandi provided excellent care to our two doggies (housesit/overnights). We have an older one that got sick/gastro issues the day before we left and she was excellent at communicating how much she was eating, behaviors, drinking etc. Greatly appreciated the extra communication and pictures from Brandi. Our other dog is a rescue and doesn’t like “strangers”. She had him cuddling with her within a day which absolutely stunned us! Would definitely recommend Brandi and will be using her again.
Brooke was fabulous with my 7 year old Luna. I had a weekend wedding to attend in NY and was very concerned with leaving Luna home. She is very much a creature of habit and usually gets anxious with any changes. Brooke understood this and followed Luna’s routines and provided lots of TLC. She also excelled at communicating with me and sent lots of pictures. Will definitely have her dog sit for me again.
Jennifer was absolutely fantastic! We tasked her with our 3 doggos, one being a 8 week old puppy. Her communication was exceptional. She sent us videos and pictures so we were updated on the dogs day! She was absolutely fantastic and I would recommend her to everyone!
Deniz was wonderful with senior dogs. She was very professional yet loving with them, sent me lots of pics which I really appreciated as I missed them. I will definitely rebook with her my next trip! She fed them and walked them as I asked. My home was clean. Great experience!!
Kristin was amazing, great daily updates and follow up and all four of our pets fell in love with her. We will definitely book her again. Seeing how well taken care of and how happy and engaged they were with her made being away from them a worry free experience. Book her; you won’t regret it!
Madison went above and beyond during her stay at my house. Communication was great, she sent so many pictures and videos. I know my dog Nash had a great week with her and got so many cuddles. She left my house better than she found it. I highly recommend her for any service!

The average cost of House Sitting in Clearwater is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $70 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Clearwater walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Clearwater maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
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.
