“Bondi clearly enjoyed his weekend with Samantha! I received regular photos of him enjoying time in the yard with the other dogs and he was exhausted when he got home. He can be mischievous at times and Samantha took it in stride. We appreciate her care!”
“Jen is excellent. Herman, my Bichon Frise, loves staying at her home. Jen goes the extra mile in taking care of Herman and making him feel safe and loved. She is excellent.”
“Ms Melanie was very friendly and helpful with my baby Braxton. Braxton and I both had separation anxiety, he wouldn’t eat and she got him to eat peanut butter and for me she sent pictures. Definitely will book with her again”
“Nicole was very patient with this nervous dog momma! She made sure Diesel was comfortable while introducing him to other dogs! Thanks to her, he made new friends! I'll definitely use her again for boarding or even walks! Diesel loved her, too!”
“Steve is wonderful! He boarded and cared for our little Havanese while we were on vacation. Steve is welcoming, responsive, and has a genuinely kind heart for dogs. Yuki was loved, calm, and happy when we picked her up. We would highly recommend Steve and will definitely be a repeat client!”
“Olivia kept our dog for a week. It was the longest he’s ever been away from home but she took great care of him and was really good about sending us pictures every day. He had lots of attention and other dogs to play with. Highly recommend!!”
“Eboni was the perfect sitter for our pup! She sent us lots of updates and tons of pictures while we were away. We will absolutely be reaching out again the next time we need a sitter!”
“Kelly was great. Our dog Maizey was a little nervous with new surroundings but you could tell Kelly is a true pet lover and Maizey felt secure and happy around her. Unfortunately our trip got cut short by a day but Kelly was flexible and was easy to communicate with. Would recommend her 100%.”
“Tamara was a great sitter! She was able to take on Franklin last minute and provided daily updates throughout my time away! I will definitely be rebooking for my next trip.”
“Valerie was fantastic! Bentlie enjoyed her stay, was treated to visits to the park and lots of belly rubs, and was definitely very comfortable. I also appreciated all of the nightly updates to see how she was doing! We will definitely stay here again!”
“Very satisfied overall with the experience. Provided regular updates and communication. Caution: Your little one may come back extra happy and spoiled from the love and attention/affection received. Looked very happy in the pics. Smiling Thank you Miss Mary and Mr. Felix for taking care of Max”
“We had an amazing experience boarding our pup, Appa, with Tessa & Travis! They took fantastic care of him, and their dogs loved playing with him. Highly recommend their services for any pet parent!”
About: I am a stay-at-home mom and just recently received my master’s degree in human and animal behavior. My main goal is to help as many animals as possible whether that be training them, babysitting, or simply being a friend to them so that they can always feel special and loved. I am currently working from home so I have a flexible schedule and am able to care for your pet any time of the day. I have plenty of energy to play with your pet when they are feeling bored. There is also enough rooms so they can have their own space if they need alone time. I’ll follow their lead.
“Leanna was so wonderful with our girl. She went above and beyond accommodating us when it was MY fault for messing up which day I would be returning and added on an extra day to my reservation. We loved that we did a meet and greet to make sure everyone got along well. Her young daughters were so incredibly sweet to Tahlia and apparently had a great time with her. While Tahlia has love children in the past, she is older and hasn’t been around a lot of kids in a number of years. Leanna was great making sure Tahlia felt loved by her sweet girls but also making sure Tahlia wasn’t overwhelmed. Her yard was a perfect heaven for Tahlia and I’m sure she had lots of new things to smell and see. Leanna did great to make sure I felt updated and I felt super secure leaving Tahlia with her and the girls.”
“Great sitter!! We had a last minute situation and Rachelle took our boys in and gave them a great few days!! Definitely have them in our favorites for future needs. She knows dogs and is great with all temperaments.”
“She's super attentive and kind, and she took great care of my baby. I got photos and updates on how he was doing throughout the day, and I was really happy with that feedback.”
“Sarah was great with our cat who has anxiety and had never stayed overnight at a sitter's home. She even allowed me to extend our cat's stay for a little longer due to unforeseen circumstances. She was very sweet and we appreciate her looking after our fur baby!”
“I was in a pinch when I was looking for a suitable three day home for my dog. Rachel certainly fit the bill. She was very quick to reply and sent photos throughout the stay so I could ensure my gal was safe and enjoying herself. I would absolutely use Rachel again in the future!.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 214 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Clearwater. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
97% of sitters in Clearwater can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Clearwater. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
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 SC 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
