“Shiloh was crying with anticipation when we were 2 blocks away...He runs in the house and paces by the door waiting to see Aspen and Koda....He couldnt have cared less whether i stayed or left...which actually is a great feeling and an indicator of how comfortable he is at Sara's house. we get pictures and updates which is wonderful and we pick up a happy well cared for dog.”
“Kajae and Emily were fantastic. They took excellent care of our dogs and treated them like they were their own! Lots of updates and pictures were sent. I would absolutely use them again in the future!”
“Chris has been very communicative. She sent frequent updates with pictures about how our little lady was doing. She was very accommodating to our little dog’s needs. We ran into a few hiccups returning from the airport during bad winter weather and Chris was incredibly understanding. Yes, Chris made my experience very pleasant. Yet, most importantly after 9 days I came home to a happy, well adjusted puppy! This speaks for itself. As a Shorkie our puppy is sensitive to separation anxiety. Being with Chris she definitely got all the attention and love that is used to getting at home. I am so grateful for having peace of mind that our puppy is well taken care of while we are traveling. I will definitely check with Chris first when looking for boarding our little lady again.”
“Mikaela was wonderful hosting our pup. She was excellent at coordinating drop off and pick up. I really appreciate the pictures and updates she sent to us. Our dog was always excited to go back over and they welcomed him warmly into their home.”
“Natalie and her family did such a great job with our dogs. They had plenty of playtime outdoors and indoors. Lots of love and attention was given. We got picture updates which put our minds at ease. Our dogs enjoyed their stay and will definitely be using Natalie in the future 😃”
“Our dog took to Sydney the moment he met her at our meet and greet. That is saying a lot as he is usually very leery of new people. Our dog spent a long weekend in the care of Sydney in her home where he had personal space and a lovely fenced-in yard to run around. We received updates from Sydney a couple of times a day, including a video, on how he was doing. Our dog takes medication and it is quite often a real struggle to get him to take it ... he got his medication everyday during his stay. Definitely recommend Sydney!!!”
“Our senior dog was comfortable and content. We appreciated how Karlee was flexible with our pick up time when we weren’t sure when our weekend tournament would end. We would love to use her again!”
“Sophia was absolutely wonderful. She took my two dogs boarding them on short notice for a week because of a family tragedy and two more emergency days without a problem. She completely understood and was flexible with me. My health isn't the best and I am on Chemotherapy...She was able to help me with the dogs as I am unable to do some things on my own. When I was out of town not only was I able to see my girls through the web cam. She sent pictures and updates on how and what they were doing which was amazing and took that anxiety off immediately. I will be using Sophia again and I just couldn't thank her enough for helping during this time where I needed help and she was there for myself and my two girls!”
“Kristi went above and beyond for our little guy, Bear! We received many updates with pictures and videos during his weekend stay that made us feel comforted. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Rene was terrific with my dog King. He had never been anywhere overnight before except with family members so I was a little nervous because he doesn’t do well with strangers. Rene won his confidence and mine. Thanks Rene.”
About: I've been caring for animals since I was in 6th grade when I'd regularly animal sit for one of my neighbor's Bernese Mountain Dog, 3 cats, and 2 bunnies. Since then, I've become a dog trainer and can deal with a wide variety of dogs, including dogs with additional care needs. I'm an AKC evaluator and I spend my free time competing with my dogs in a variety of sports! I take special care and pride in the animals I care for. I believe that a well exercised pet is going to be an easier companion and leads to a much happier family life. I have 3.5 acres for your pet to romp around. This will include things like loose leash walking, distraction training, and more. Mental stimulation will tire your dog out faster than physical stimulation so this exciting mixture will leave you with a very happy pup! Of course, if you prefer no training, I'm happy to go along with what you prefer! Lastly, I try my best to create the best relationship with the animals I care for. This means I want your furry friend to love me as much as I love them. I prefer to meet your pet and at least one owner of your pet before continuing into a service. This isn't a requirement, but a strong preference. Especially for extended stays. I work hybrid so I spend 50% of business days working from home. On the weekends, I don't have to go in-office. My entire life revolves around my dogs and adding your pet into our routine will be an easy transition! I have a 3.5 acre yard and 5 of my own dogs. My dogs will crate and rotate indoors with your pet depending on their needs. I keep client dogs separate from my personal dogs and other client dogs unless discussed and agreed upon beforehand so you know your pup is safe. All of my dogs are friendly and play together easily.
“My experience with Crystal M. Was wonderful. I was kept updated through photos and texts. I would definitely recommend her services, and I will definitely be a repeating customer.”
“Amazing, Andrea treats Monty like he’s one of her own dogs. She gives us updates promptly about how Monty is enjoying his time with her and her family! He absolutely loves going there!”
“Ashley and her family were great caregivers for our pup, Murphy! Communication was excellent (loved getting photo updates during the stay), and Murphy seemed to have really enjoyed her time at their home.”
“Meghann and her family took great care of our 6 month old puppy while we were on vacation. We received daily pic updates and communication. We’ll definitely book with Meghann again in the future!”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Clearwater on Rover is $33.3 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 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 .

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.
