“Jennifer is the cat whisper and gives total devotion to your pet. Words cant express the enjoyment in my heart when they bonded and I knew after the first day of just meet n grèet she was in great hands. Thank you so much.”
“Kailynn stayed at my house to take care of my 3 pups. They're a lot of work, but she was fantastic! Kailynn sent pics on multiple days and left my home better than when she arrived. I wasn't expecting her to put my guest room back together (it doubles as my office, but I set it up for her to use as a bedroom when I left). She washed all the bedding and communicated really well the whole time (better than me!). I would definitely use her again.”
“Jason was wonderful, patient with our anxious dogs. We lost both our sitters as they moved. So we’re working on finding new sitters. At first our little one was very scared and vicious.. Jason gave him treats and won him over in no time. He just stayed the day, but definitely call him again. He’s definitely a dog whisperer.👍💜🐾”
“Brooke was very kind, positive, and communicated well with texts and photos, which allowed us to enjoy our vacation with peace of mind. The pets were well taken care of.”
About: I grew up on a farm. We had lots of cats and dogs and other animals. I’ve always had a strong love for cats and dogs. I currently have one tuxedo cat and she loves to play with other kitty cats. I’ve cared for many sick animals given shots and medication multiple times a day when needed and can be in contact with pet owners throughout the day when needed. I am a professional stock photographer and work out of my home so I have lots of time to dedicate to loving your pet. I work from my Home Office studio as a professional stock photographer, and Marketing Consultant . I can be available for pet care at all days and all times. I have a fenced in backyard if needed. If I’m caring for your pet in my home, I do have a fenced in backyard if that is a requirement
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.
“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!”
“Heaven has been truly a blessing for both me and Zeus. Very accommodating to fit my schedule. If you are ever in need of her services, you can not go wrong!”
“Highly recommend! Jesse watched our two cats while we were away for the week. She kept us updated and did a great job taking care of them. The cats were happy and healthy when we got home and I could tell they were being well taken care of all week. Jesse was a pleasure to work with and we look forward to working with her again in the future!”
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.
About: I’ve dog sat for friends and family since I was a teenager. I also have three dogs of my own and grew up with dogs my whole life, so I know dogs well. I’m currently working a part time job, and my college courses are very flexible! I have free time during the day and my shifts are short. I plan to keep them company as often as possible, feed them, bathe them (if necessary), and walk them. Whatever the clients preference is, I’ll oblige, no problem!
“Jolie was amazing! She went above and beyond for us. Our dogs were happy and fulfilled. She gave us regular updates with photos which was wonderful. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our dogs were happy and well taken care of. We are leaving the country for two weeks soon and I could not be more relieved that Joli is watching them - I know they will be in trusted hands when we are gone!”
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.
“Sovan did a great job with Maggie! He took his time to really get to know her personality. Sovan provided pictures every day and was quick to respond to any questions I had. I would definitely ask Sovan to watch Maggie again.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Clearwater is $50

Brooke and her daughter stayed at our house while we were away and gave great care and love to our little pup. She gets nervous with new situations but was given so much love and care that she did just fine for the whole week. Brooke send daily photos and even our neighors said they noticed how often she was walked and well cared for. Our home was left in a tidy condition just as we left it. We will definitely use Brooke again for in home care! Highly recommended!!
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!
Beverly did a phenomenal job watching my two dogs and two cats while I was gone for five days! Some required medication and she was comfortable doing it all! She was great at communicating and sending plenty of pictures of my fur babies.I will definitely be using her again!
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!
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 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.

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.
