About: I have always loved cats and dogs. They are kind and share unconditional love with us humans. I have been responsible for cats and dogs in my own home since I was 7 years old. Friends have left me with their pets and their children for weekends at a time. You can trust that your pets will be well taken care of while they are in my care. I tend bar in the early evenings 4 nights a week. My bartending shifts range from 4-6 hours. Mornings and early afternoons work great for stop ins and walks. I can come to your place to care for your pets. I will walk your dogs and will play with dogs and cats. And when I walk your dog, I won’t be on my phone. I will be present.

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for animals and a background in veterinary care. I’m comfortable working with dogs and cats of different ages, personalities, and energy levels, including pets who are anxious, nervous, or need a little extra patience and reassurance. I’m experienced with walks, feeding, playtime, enrichment, basic medication routines, and keeping pets safe and comfortable. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual routine and personality so they can feel happy and secure while you’re away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to give every pet plenty of love, attention, exercise, and care while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. 🐾🤍 Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life, so caring for other pets naturally fits into my routine. I’m used to building my day around feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and giving pets plenty of attention and companionship. I have three cats and two dogs of my own, so I understand how important consistency and keeping a pet’s normal routine can be. I’m happy to work around each pet’s individual schedule and needs, whether that means a quick potty break, a long walk, medication, or simply some extra love and cuddles while you’re away. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like they’re part of my own family. 🐾🤍 I care for every pet as an individual and always take the time to learn their routine, personality, and specific needs. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely and keep their pets’ normal feeding, walking, playtime, and medication schedules as consistent as possible. I’m very experienced with giving medications and comfortable caring for pets with different needs, ages, and personalities. I also treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’ll keep things clean and secure, provide plenty of attention and enrichment, and send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pets are happy and well cared for 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!

“Brandi is super punctual and really pays attention to every little detail of any special instructions or care that your particular fur babies need. We are so glad to have found her! We can finally relax and focus on whatever might take us away from our dogs and know that they are getting the same kind of care that we would give them ourselves. Thank you, Brandi!!”

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.

About: I have walked different sized and aged dogs while volunteering at the Humane Society. I love high energy dogs because they help make sure I get my exercise for the day 🙂 I strive to provide the best care and give the most time to your dogs. I create plans based on your dog's needs and not vice versa. I know it's important to make sure dogs stay happy while in my care. I monitor your dog's health and update you as soon as I see anything out of the ordinary to ensure everything is running smoothly. I currently work part time. It's easy for me to do walks in the morning and evening and night time and but I am able to board any time of the week as my boyfriend is able to help as well. I have a large fenced yard and live in a quiet street and neighborhood. There is plenty of space to rest and relax and to go for long walks together.

About: First and foremost, I’m a queer yoga teacher from Milwaukee and I’m living here to escape the first bit of winter back home 😬 I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life. At four, my family started fostering cats (mamas and kittens were my faaaav) and I would help out as much as I could. Yes, I did try to name a kitten Washcloth. No, my mom did not let it stand. This love for animals carried forward throughout my youth with four cats, a German Shepard mix, a malamute, a boxer and pit. My house was always full and as the Aries eldest daughter that I am I always was the first to help out. I got a cat as soon as I could when I moved out on my own and about seven years ago I got a rescue pup of my own. I also have a Rottweiler who I helped raise and train from 7 weeks old. I dedicated so much time to gently training both of them and just pouring love into them. I can definitely help with training and love working with dogs on walking well on leash. I also really believe in positive reinforcement for your pets - they just want to make us proud. Truly a universal desire. I love long walks with dogs and lots of coregulation calm time. Trust that your babies will be treated like they are family. I am a yoga teacher and teach about 10 classes per week. Other than that I work remotely from my computer, so I can flex my time. I really value a slow paced life, so being able to really take my time and go for walks/hikes, cooking a gourmet dinner at home for myself and cuddling up with a good book. I have always been a very regimented, schedule following pet owner. I think it helps create consistency and eases anxiety for animals. Routines help animals thrive. I think frequent bathroom breaks are important. Long walks early in the day before the world is busy and it gets too hot in the summer are a priority. I also really love snuggling up and just having quiet, calm time with pets. I am happy to follow whatever guidelines/special requests pet parents have. I know how important it is to keep things consistent for pets! There’s never any judgement from me!

About: I've worked at a pet store for three years and was a manager of said store for one of those years. I've worked in and volunteered at veterinary clinics. I've also volunteered and interned at the Humane Society of Pinellas. I work well with not only cats and dogs but exotic animals, such as reptiles, amphibians, birds, fish, and small rodents. All in all, I'm a huge animal lover! I work part time and I am also a full time student, so Monday - Thursday mornings 7am-11am work best for me. I am able to do feedings, walks, and medications for your pet(s). I'm experienced giving animals their needed medication. I enjoy walks and exercise in the morning, which is how I take care of my parent's dogs. I've also helped to take care of their chickens. I also have exotic animals and I am experienced with working with them professionally as well.

About: Hi! I’m Reagan, I’ve owned and cared for dogs and cats my entire life. Along with life experience, I added 6 years of experience in Veterinary Medicine as a technician caring for a multitude of breeds, personalities, and ages! 🐾 My background has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, body language, and recognizing subtle changes in a pet’s health or demeanor. I have a special appreciation for puppies who are still learning and developing, senior pets who need extra comfort and patience, and animals who require individualized or specialized care. I’m comfortable working with pets who have unique needs, different temperaments, or require a little extra time to feel safe and comfortable. I believe every animal deserves compassionate, attentive care tailored to their individual personality and needs. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, medication assistance, senior care, or simply some extra love and companionship while you’re away, I’ll treat them like my own. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being will always be my priority! ❤️🐶🐱 I work mostly full time at a Veterinary Clinic. I am available for weekly drop-ins or walks, or as needed, I am here for you and your pet. My schedule can change week to week and I can update my availability weekly. Mostly, I am available Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Sundays. Tuesday- Between 6-7 AM and After 5pm Wednesday- Between 6-7 AM and After 12pm Thursday- All Day Sunday- After 12 pm Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities! With 6 years of veterinary experience, I understand the importance of monitoring behavior, recognizing signs of stress or illness, and handling pets safely. During drop-in visits and walks, I’ll follow your instructions and your pet’s usual routines, ensure doors and gates are secure, use appropriate leash and harness safety, and keep a close eye on their surroundings. I’ll respect your home, provide patient and attentive care, and keep you updated so you can feel confident that your fur babies are in good hands while you’re away! 🐾

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Clearwater Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Clearwater Beach is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 6,105 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Clearwater Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 .

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 , 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 Beach. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
