Caitlin was so incredible to our girls. We got lots of great pictures and updates! She was great for both my super senior and my rocket dog who never wants to quit playing. They were picked up and dropped off which was such a blessing when our flights were at crazy times. Sue gave us the sweetest parting gift as well. Love Caitlin!!!

We recently moved to the area from out of state and needed to find care for our dogs when we travel. We have gone the boarding at the kennel route in the past and have found it to be extremely stressful for them. They come home sleep deprived and smelly! We have also gone the route of pet sitters who drop in, but then this requires the dogs to be alone in the house in their kennels most of the time. We hadn't really considered leaving them in someone's home until I came across Sara's profile and had a visit with her. She was a fantastic listener and took plenty of time to give me the tour and to learn more about our pets. We just used her services for the first time over the weekend and when we picked the dogs up, they were happy, calm and clean. :-). One of our dogs is a senior dog on medication and overall just a little more needy and clingy and this was not a problem for Sara at all. She is super experienced and our dogs were at ease the first time they met her. She has two older dogs of her own who are absolute sweeties. We look forward to utilizing Sara's services many times in the future!

Dior was so comfortable right away with Christine. She kept me updated throughout the weekend and sent pics of my girl so I knew she was good. Even got her a couple stuffies to destroy while she was there. Great experience! Thank you Christine! It was a pleasure

This is my second time using Sydney to dog sit my dogs and it was a wonderful experience again! I highly recommend Sydney to anyone who is looking for a dog sitter. My dogs were very excited to go to her house and they looked very relaxed in all the pictures I received. She also let me know about a probable anxiety issue with one of my dogs upon pick up. Sydney was flexible with drop off and pick up times.

This is the second time we have booked a stay with Andrea and we will definitely be coming back. My dog seems to like staying here! Andrea easily handles a special (quirky) diet. It was great to get a daily photo and update. Drop off and pick up were flexible. I’m so glad we discovered this sitter!

Rene is great and my dog King loves her. Apparently he sneaked out under a small rabbit hole - not her fault cuz King tends to dig and look for where he can escape. He returned without problem and I will always continue to use Rene as my doggy sitter. She takes great care of him!!

Laura is amazing! She went above and beyond our expectations. After meeting Laura and her family, we felt at ease dropping our puppy off because we knew she was in the hands of such a dog-loving family. Laura also sent frequent pictures to keep us updated on how our fur baby was doing which was appreciated. Definitely going to book again in the future and would recommend to anyone!

This is our fourth time having Christina watch our Sheepadoodle, and she’s been wonderful every time. She keeps us consistently updated, responds quickly, and clearly has a great understanding of dogs. We always feel confident and at ease knowing our pup is in her care.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Clearwater

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Clearwater on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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

As of July 2026, there are 226 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Clearwater. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.

96% of Clearwater sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Clearwater landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.

If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Clearwater home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:

  • Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
  • Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
  • Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Clearwater.

Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

You and your Clearwater sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

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 .

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in MN ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
