About: Hi, I’m Stephanie—an animal care professional with 13+ years of hands-on experience and a lifelong passion for creating safe, enriching, and loving environments for animals of all kinds. My journey has taken me from the wilderness of Alaska*, where I raised and cared for a team of Alaskan Husky sled dogs, to leadership roles in animal welfare—working my way up to Operations and CSR Lead at an animal shelter, while also serving as a Client Experience Coordinator at a busy animal emergency hospital. In early 2025, I proudly founded my own rescue, Pawsitive Tales Rescue, where I continue to advocate for and care for vulnerable animals in need. Animals aren’t just my career—they’re my life. Whether I’m caring for playful puppies, senior dogs, shy cats, or medical-needs pets, I bring patience, experience, and genuine compassion to every animal I meet. My background in shelter medicine, emergency veterinary care, rescue work, and behavior gives me the confidence to care for pets with a wide variety of personalities and needs. When I’m not working, you’ll find me outdoors adventuring with my retired sled dogs and my corgi—usually hiking, exploring, or chasing the next view. The mountains have my soul, but my heart belongs to every kitty and pup I’ve had the privilege to love. If you’re looking for someone experienced, dependable, and deeply passionate about animal welfare, your pets will be in caring and capable hands with me. I can’t wait to meet your furry family. 🐾 I’m currently working part-time at the local animal shelter and part-time as an animal care taker. In addition, I have six of my own dogs and two cats. It’s dogs and cats from the moment I wake up until I go to bed! I have a fenced in yard where your pup can run and stretch their legs as much as they want! All of my dogs are friendly and social and my cats are dog savvy. You’re pets will be treated with the best care possible - I’ll treat them as if they’re my own.

About: I am a dedicated and caring pet sitter who truly loves animals. I always make sure pets have plenty of fresh water and get the exercise they need to stay happy and healthy, while paying close attention to their individual routines and needs. I am currently in school to become a veterinary technician and have hands-on experience working in the veterinary field, which allows me to provide knowledgeable and attentive care. Their dog would fit well into my daily routine. Since I work part time, I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule to provide consistent care, including regular walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins throughout the day. I make it a priority to plan my day around the dog’s needs to ensure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. In addition, I have fostered many animals, giving me experience with pets of different personalities and medical needs, and I treat every animal as if they were my own.

About: I have had pets most of my life. I've experienced the highs and lows of loving another critter. I would love the opportunity to be a positive for your critter, pup, or cat while you are away. I will provide loving care and attention to your loved ones. I am an elementary teacher. I am able to travel to your location before work (7am) and after work (3pm) most week days and available for weekend beginning Friday at 3pm until I have a large 4' and 5' fenced yard with trees on a nice corner lot. Lots of space for running, playing, and lounging in the shade or bathing in in sunlight.

About: Hi! I’m Elena. Whether your pet is an easygoing adult dog, a timid kitty, or a gentle senior who just wants a quiet place to nap, I provide calm, attentive, and high-trust care tailored to their normal routine. My animal care background runs deep: 8+ Years of Rescue Experience & Patient Care: I spent eight years volunteering with City Kitties Rescue in DC and The Cats at Longstreet. Through this work, I developed a strong understanding of animal body language, patience with shy pets, and a gentle touch for animals who need a peaceful environment to feel comfortable. Gentle Senior & Easygoing Routine Care: I love spending time with adult and senior pets who enjoy a relaxed pace, predictable routines, lots of affection, or simply lounging on the couch. I grew up with a Peekapoo and trained with the Animal Humane Society on gentle dog handling techniques. Pro Communication & Great Photos: You’ll receive clear, real-time updates and high-quality progress photos during every stay so you always have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and relaxed. Broad Animal Experience: While I focus on adult cats and dogs on Rover, I’ve personally cared for a wide variety of animals throughout my life—from hedgehogs, rabbits, and pocket pets to reptiles (including live feeding). I maintain a peaceful, welcoming environment and treat every pet like family. I’d love to meet you and your companion! My schedule is very flexible. I work part-time and remotely, which means I am home for the majority of the day and can give your pet plenty of individual attention, frequent potty breaks, and low-stress companionship. Because I work from my peaceful home environment, I can easily stick to your pet’s normal daily rhythm—whether that’s a midday backyard break, regular feeding times, or just having a cozy lap available while I work. Whether caring for pets in my own home or visiting yours, safety, comfort, and respect for routine are my top priorities. In My Home (Boarding): I use a low-stress, step-by-step transition process for feline guests. Just like my rescue fosters, visiting cats start out in a cozy, dedicated space (like a private room) with all their essentials until they feel confident enough to explore the rest of the house at their own pace. For dogs, I maintain a secure, calm environment and ensure my backyard is fully supervised during outdoor breaks. In Your Home (Drop-Ins): I follow your exact instructions to keep your pet’s routine seamless. My visits typically begin with fresh food, water, and litter/potty care. Once their primary needs are met, I spend the remaining time providing gentle affection, low-key play, or simply quiet companionship—always ensuring your home is kept secure and key logistics are handled with complete accountability.

About: Started as a favor to friends and family, and evolved into a pet hotel of sorts. We help “ferrents” in need as well as any human needing safe and loving accommodations for their fur babies. We provide the best level of care during their stay. My partner and I honor dedicated walks, play time, as many cuddles as desired, and will follow strict food and med schedules. We take the responsibility very seriously and treat all animals as we would our own. I provide Rover services full-time. My partner has a flexible job and can fill any necessary gaps. He typically works 10-6 p.m. Monday thru Friday. We do not have children or animals of our own. Our backyard is fenced for added protection, but we love to take fur babies on walks. We have a ferret-proofed home (although they passed last year) which means anything concerning for a small animal has been eliminated. Because we do not have pets of our own, time and attention will be dedicated to any pet in our care.

FAQs for House Sitting - Clearwater

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 213 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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Clearwater. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
