“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!”
“Beverly was a wonderful caregiver to our elderly pup. We could tell he was very comfortable with her and she treated him with love and kindness as if he were her own. We would highly recommend her to everyone who has pets to be cared for.”
“Andi is a great pet sitter! She did a great job watching our GSP, Josh, who really liked her. I love how she sent us a few updates and photos every day and stayed in touch with us while we were away. She came to meet Josh before staying at our house with him and texted to confirm the appointment a day before which was great. Thank you, Andi!”
“kyleigh house sat for a week while we travelled abroad, and when we came home our pup was acting totally normal and the home was spotless. she also sent us photo updates most days which helped us enjoy the travels without worrying about our doggo. highly recommend!!”
“Linda is wonderful! She truly loves dogs. She treated Flo like her own. We canceled this bokking once because of Hurricane Milton then rebooked after the storm had passed and we made it through unscathed. Linda, however, had lost power at her house. We will definitely book with Linda again-- if she is available! She is understandably in high demand.”
“Kaitlyn was great with my dog, Hudson! She gave him love and care as if he were her own. She was communicative, timely and send a ton of photos and updates each day! As someone who is super picky with choosing someone to care for my dog, I couldn't have been happier with Kaitlyn! She also left my home spotless and in the same condition I left it in, would 100% use her again!”
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.
“David did an awesome job went over and above when I expected of him! Very friendly I could tell he loved the dogs! he showed up on time and was ready to work. We will definitely use David in the future.”
About: I have been a dog owner since 2018, and I have a beagle who I love so much. I am currently in Florida for school and would love to do some work while in school. I also have a cat who is very good and is okay with dogs. She will tolerate them as long as they keep their distance. She can be separated if really necessary. I can go above and beyond to care for any animal. I spoil my dog and cat like they're my own kids. I go to school on Tuesdays and Thursdays and am home all day on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, plus the weekends. If I were to dog/cat sit on Tuesdays and Thursdays, they wouldn't be alone; my mom would be home to take care of them as well. I have a yard but can go on walks if needed. I can offer anything that you need and will make sure they get the care they need.
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats and even exotics ever since I was a child. My major in college was Biology and my first job out of college was a Zoo Keeper. I then became a dolphin trainer working and training several types of dolphins, river otters and pelicans. The past two years I have been a Vet Technician working at a large animal hospital. Animals are my passion in life so any chance I get to be around them, I will! I am currently a full time student again and also working four days a week. Any free time I get I enjoy getting outside or relaxing. I am mainly free on week nights and some days depending on class schedule. I will not be watching pets in my own home due to having a cat myself that gets stressed around other animals in his own space. I will watch other's pets at their home and follow their instructions as given.
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.
“Zach watched our 3 dogs for us, ages 14, 2 and 1 1/2. He is absolutely the best. Would send us updates and pictures and videos of the dogs. He even cooked them chicken breast and ground beef! Pick up poop in the hard, Did all the laundry before he left which he didn’t need to do of, and without asking, I had planned on doing it. If you are looking for someone who you can 100% and know you due babies are in good hands. Zach is you goto guy! We could not be happier”
“Becky was a fantasy dog sitter during our 11 night trip out of the country. She sent us photos and updates every day and immediately brought up any concerns. She took our pup for walks even though we have a big back yard and gave him lots of pets and snuggles. She went above and beyond bringing in our mail and watering the plants too. We’ve already booked her for our next out of town vacation.”
“We loved having Cindy here! She took such great care of Cleo and our house looked exactly how we left it! She was also happy to help with a few things around the house while we were gone. Cindy is very easy going but so on the ball, we felt completely comfortable while we were away!”
“First time using Rover & I was absolutely relieved & happy with how smoothly it all worked out! Placing trust in someone was a HUGE deal for us, with both leaving our pets & our home in someone’s hands. Olga took great care of our fur kids while we were away. She provided updates of her comings and goings, and sent daily pictures of our gang. Thank you, Olga!!”
About: I have been around dogs ever since I was little, I always had a dog that I took care of, and I have so much love not only for dogs, but for all animals. I enjoy spending time with animals, walking them, and proving all the care they need from me. I also have a dog myself who is the sweetest boy. Most of my time I spend working from home, taking care of my pets, and going on walks and workout classes. Which are mostly in the morning. During the day, I try to go on walks at least 3 times a day, which would also be a great time for dogs to go on their daily walks and to potty. I have a fenced backyard, with netting all the way over the top, so no pet can leave or come in unless they’re let in. I have a small dog who loves other does and 2 cats who kind of just mind their business most of the time. Both are very friendly and love other animals and pets which they have been exposed to quite a few times. Whatever the pets might need, I’ll do my best to give them exactly that.
“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! 🐾”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Clearwater
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!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Clearwater is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $71 per night. 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 November 2026, there are 3,673 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
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
- 94% 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.
