“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!”
“Alica was extremely sweet and my kitty was so calm and happy when we returned from our trip. We could tell that she had been given lots of love and attention. We will most definitely be hiring her for our next trip!”
“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!”
“This was our first experience in using a Pet Sitter, and David was brilliant! From the initial meet ans greet, he established a great connection with the furbabies. David asked questions and took great care of the pups whilst we were away. David sent daily updates and pictures, which were gratefully received and offered us peace of mind. Thank you David, and we would certainly recommend ? Great job David!”
“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!”
“Brook was amazing with Blue. Very patient and understanding of his specific needs. Took time to understand him and provided a detailed overview of her stay with Blue. I will definitely be booking with Brook again.”
“Alexandra was a good communicator, punctual and above all kind and loving with my dogs. She sent lots of updates with photos and left the house clean. I will definitely hope to use her services again.”
“You couldn't ask for a better sitter. This was the 1st time we used rover and our dog had never had a sitter. Shawn used his charm and probably patience to win Bernadette over. He also left our house spotless. An all round gentleman. Would hire him again in a nanotechnology second”
“Laryssa is amazing! She was incredible with the dogs and kept a solid line of communication with us while we were away on vacation. She sent pictures and videos to help us feel at ease. I would highly recommend using her. She’s kind, caring, clean and great with our dogs! Thank you much Laryssa and we look forward to working with you in the future!”
About: I have walked different sized and aged dogs while volunteering at the Humane Society. I love high energy dogs because they help make sure I get my exercise for the day 🙂 I strive to provide the best care and give the most time to your dogs. I create plans based on your dog's needs and not vice versa. I know it's important to make sure dogs stay happy while in my care. I monitor your dog's health and update you as soon as I see anything out of the ordinary to ensure everything is running smoothly. 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 to go for long walks together.
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: Helped foster animals for a while. I love animals cats, dogs and whatever they maybe. I’m pretty independent and expect every animal to have their own personality. We can play, walk, relax, chill or whatever they need. If you have a list or anything for them that might seem silly but works for your pet give it to me. I once ate cat food and dog food for pets that were shy or bashful and needed a little confidence. I have sung for them, danced with them, play and cuddled them. I’m a worker and a giver; so I will work and give your pets the best care possible. Let’s see if what I have meets your needs. I treat pets with love and respect for all the little quirks and cares that they need. Playing walking or just comforting them. They have feelings too
About: With 8 years of experience as a dog owner, plus hands-on work at a veterinary clinic, I offer expert-level pet care. I’ve also been pet sitting and caring for other dogs, ensuring they receive the same love and attention as my own. Trust your pets to someone who truly understands their needs! I’m currently don’t have a full time job, so there is no problem with boarding your pups whenever you need that. Flexible with the walking schedule as well :) There is a nice park next to my apartment complex, which is going to make every walk with your pup a nice and funny adventure.
“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! 🐾”
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!
About: I have had dogs in my home since the day I was born. My family owned, a Husky, Rottweilers, Boston terriers, and a Shitzu over the years. As an adult I have owned and cared for a Pitbull boxer mix for 8 years, cat sitted for a dear friend for over a year, and another friends small dog. Animals always warm up to me quickly and enjoy my attentive presence with them. I am currently not working, since I have an (older) dog at home it is important we get daily activity in! This usually includes a walk between 1-2 miles or an hour or so at the dog park. I have a fenced dog park at my apartment, along with 1 dog in the home. She is docile and very friendly, but not very playful. No stairs, and a lanai for the animals to lounge around.
“We had an awesome experience with William (goes by middle name Logan). One of the big things that caught our attention to his profile was that he is a trusted real estate agent in the area. Logan gave us updates every day, sending us daily pictures of our pups, took them for a long walk and kept them company while we were away. We were nervous being first time users of the app as our pups are like children, and Logan was a perfect option for us. Could not recommend him any higher. Thank you for everything Logan!”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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. 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 October 2026, there are 3,669 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.
<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.
