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.

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 a genuine love for dogs and enjoy spending time caring for them. I am responsible, patient, and attentive to each dog's individual needs, whether that means going on walks, playing, sticking to feeding schedules, or simply providing companionship. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities, and I understand the importance of keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. One area I am not comfortable with is food aggression. I’d kindly have to decline if your pet struggles with this! Although I do not have a yard of my own, my property has a small dog park available to me! I am free throughout the whole week except Sunday's. If Sunday is needed, I will do my best to accommodate!! I’m also available all hours of the day. I care for pets by walking, feeding, playing, and loving on them the most! I am capable of sticking to a schedule if they have one.

“I’ve had the pleasure of booking her every single time I need someone to take care of my two fur babies. She does an amazing job every time. She consistently follows directions, is always punctual, and communicates exceptionally well. If for any reason she can’t make it at the scheduled time, she always reaches out ahead of time to explain the situation and check whether the adjustment works for me. I truly appreciate the communication more than anything else. I especially appreciate how accommodating she is when last-minute situations come up. She’s always willing to work around changes to make sure my pets are still cared for. Even when I give her plenty of notice in advance, she keeps it in mind and is always happy to help. I’ve continuously booked with her because she’s the first person I think of whenever I need someone reliable to care for my pets, and I fully plan to keep booking with her going forward.”

About: Hi, I’m Ocean! I’m a Veterinary Technician with over 13 years of hands on experience caring for dogs, cats, and other animals. Working in veterinary medicine has given me the knowledge and confidence to care for pets of all ages, personalities, and medical needs. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, a senior who needs extra patience, or requires medications or special care, you can feel confident knowing they’re in experienced hands. My top priorities are always your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine, provide plenty of love and attention, and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own because I know they’re family. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Pet care is a part of my daily and weekly routine because I already work full-time as a veterinary technician. I’m used to structuring my days around animal care, including feeding schedules, medication times, monitoring behavior, and making sure each pet gets the attention they need. On a typical day, I’m already in a rhythm of caring for multiple animals, so adding pet sitting or drop-ins fits in smoothly before or after work, as well as on my days off. I’m very organized and plan ahead to make sure each pet in my care gets consistent, reliable attention. I’m a calm, reliable, and detail oriented person who understands that every pet has their own personality and needs. Whether your pet needs extra patience, a specific routine, medication, or just some loving attention while you’re away, I’m happy to help. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and my goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pet feels right at home.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Clearwater

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Clearwater on Rover is $18.53 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 6,415 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Clearwater. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Clearwater stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

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
  • 96% 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.

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.
