“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!”
“Doug was absolutely fantastic. He is an excellent communicator and kept us abreast of how our girls were doing. 10/10 would absolutely have him stay with our girls in our home again.”
“Hailee was awesome with our boys! We will definitely be using her again in the future! She was so patient and loving with our mini dachshund that takes a little longer to trust and open up to strangers, she quickly became her new cuddle buddy!”
“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!”
“As always Kelly is great. I have two additions to my household - two kitties! She didn’t miss a beat and took great care of all of the babies. I will continue to book with Kelly!”
“Jason was so great with both dogs. One dog is so scared.. barks, nips. Jason was patient and caring, and soon they were buddies. Jason goes above and keeps house and yard clean. We’ll definitely call on Jason again.”
“Heaven stayed in our home with Cleo for 12 days. She’s great with communication and super friendly. Upon our arrival home, our house looked just as we had left it and Cleo laid in the bed Heaven slept in, clearly missing her! We highly recommend her!”
“Our pup was well cared for and along with our home and fish. Becky is a great communicator and loving caregiver. Our dog is old with ailments and she was so good with him.”
“Zach was such a pleasure to work with. We could tell immediately he had a love for animals. His attention to detail and engagement with Lexi were great. He stayed at our home 3 nights and I can compliment him on leaving the house better than he found it.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs in my household since I was young, with early memories of my family taking in stray dogs and sheltering them. I currently have two dogs myself, and have lived with cats in a shared household previously. Friends and family have relied on me to watch their pets when they are unable to, and in taking on this responsibility, I make sure to walk, feed, bathe, and play with them so they are well cared for. I currently work a remote job, which gives me flexibility throughout the day to check in on pets during the weekdays. Moreover, I personally feel more motivated to go outside and exercise when I have a pet with me. It promotes a healthier routine for me, so it's mutually beneficial for us both! Because I have two dogs, I can pack extra necessities that may be needed in order to properly care for your pet. This can include fun toys to play and give your dog exercise with, pet cleaning supplies, extra poop bags for walks, etc.
“Christine was absolutely incredible. She watched our dog, Roo, for five days, and I truly cannot say enough good things about her. From the moment we left, I felt completely at ease knowing Roo was in her care. She treated him with so much love, attention, and kindness that I never once worried while we were away. It was obvious that Roo was happy, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. What really set Christine apart was how far above and beyond she went. Not only did she take exceptional care of Roo, but she also took amazing care of our home. She brought in our mail, watered all of our plants, and handled every little detail without ever being asked. Coming home to a happy dog and a perfectly cared-for house was such a gift. Throughout the entire stay, Christine was communicative, thoughtful, reliable, and professional. She made us feel completely confident that everything was being taken care of, which allowed us to fully enjoy our time away. We have used Rover before, and Christine is genuinely one of the best sitters we have ever booked. I would book her again without hesitation—and honestly, a million times over if I could. If you’re considering hiring her, do it. Your pets and your home will be in the absolute best hands.”
“Skye is awesome! She took such good care of our boy. She got him out of the house, played with him and loved on him the whole time we were gone. She is incredibly respectful and left our house super clean. We will definitely be rebooking!!”
“Callie took care of my Lily and did an amazing job! She took her on walks on the beach, gave her a bath, and entertained her all weekend! She also provided pictures of my dog to keep me updated.”
“We’re so happy with Brooke taking care of our fur baby, Maggie Mae! She’s absolutely amazing for overnight stays—we trust her completely in our home, and everything is always just as we left it. On top of that, she’s gone above and beyond for us. While we were away, she graciously was willing to deal with roofers and show them exactly where the leak was—such a huge help! Also, Brooke is incredibly accommodating and understanding, especially when our travel plans shift due to airline delays or cancellations. She sends plenty of pictures (which we love, because we miss our Mags!) and is always super communicative, positive, and reliable. Highly, highly, highly recommend! We are thankful for her.”
“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 ♥️”

“From the moment Melody walked in to meet our dogs we knew she was going to be great! You can tell she loves dogs and she really cares about them being happy and safe. She was diligent about learning their routine and understanding their needs. She sent us pictures and updates while we were away and both dogs loved her. I highly recommend Melody if you are looking for a responsible, professional, person who genuinely will love your pet.”

Jason took great care of our 5 dogs and house while we were out of town! The dogs all seemed very comfortable with him. Even the one that is very weary of new people warmed up to him particularly quickly! Jason kept the house clean and was very attentive to all of the dogs needs. He read all the instructions we left for him and followed them to a T. Highly recommend Jason!
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!!
Michael was an amazing dog sitter. He took excellent care of my baby for 11 days! He sent pictures and updates multiple times a day and answered my messages immediately! I could tell my pup absolutely loved him; every video and picture showed how comfortable he was with Michael. I plan to use Michael as my sitter for every trip I take!
Jennifer is fantastic! She was very flexible scheduling time to meet with our cat and dog prior to the booking to make sure it was a good fit. During the pet/house sit she shared pictures and videos each day and took very good care of our fur babies and was an excellent house guest. Would absolutely recommend and hope to work with her in the future!
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!
Brooke was wonderful! Our initial visit made us extremely comfortable leaving our babies in her care! She updated us often with lots of photos, and updates! She left our home tidy, and just how we left it! I commend her, because even when she had a difficult family situation, she continued to give our babies the love they needed while we were away!
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!
Cindy did a wonderful job taking care of Bailey and Lulu! She sent lots of pictures and made sure they were happy, loved, and well cared for. I could tell they got plenty of cuddles and attention. She also took care of everything while I was away, which gave me such peace of mind. I’ve been using this app for over three years, and Cindy is by far the best sitter I’ve found. I’ll definitely be booking her again for my next vacation. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Clearwater on Rover is $47.5 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 3,678 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Clearwater. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Tip: 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Clearwater. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
