About: I've owned and cared for animals my entire life — not just dogs and cats, but ferrets, birds, and farm animals like pigs and goats. That range means I'm comfortable reading behavior and body language across species, not just one type of pet, and I can adjust my approach whether it's a nervous cat, a high-energy dog, or livestock that needs a calmer, slower introduction. I'm trained in pet CPR for dogs and cats, so I can respond confidently if something goes wrong during a visit. I'm typically available all day Sunday through Wednesday for visits and walks. On Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays I work a part-time job from 5am to 3pm, so I'm available after 3pm on those days. I try to respond quickly to booking requests and I'm happy to work around your schedule when I can. Since I only do drop-in visits and walks at this time, your pet stays in the comfort of their own home rather than being boarded anywhere else — no unfamiliar animals, no new environment, no added stress for them. When I'm in your home, I treat it with the same respect I'd want for my own: doors and gates stay secured, I follow any feeding, medication, or routine instructions exactly as given, and I make sure everything is locked up and put back the way I found it before I leave. For dogs, I keep walks on-leash and under control at all times unless you've told me otherwise. For cats and smaller animals, I move at their pace, give them space if they're shy, and never force interaction. If anything seems off with your pet's health or behavior during a visit, I'll let you know right away rather than waiting. On the days I work my part-time job, my fiancé Jake, also an animal lover — may occasionally step in for a visit if needed, and he follows the same care standards I do
“Kerri is amazing! Meeting her was a pleasure and my dog really liked her as well. Huế is very finicky when it comes to meeting new people. So I was very happy when I noticed that she liked her. I trust Kerri with my puppy and would definitely book with her again!”
About: I have been a pet sitter and dog walker for six years. I currently work part-time at a local flower shop that allows for flexibility when I am watching pets. They can come to work with me if they are slower paced and like people. 😊 My husband is deployed with the Army for the next year so I'm hoping to stay busy! Blossom, my 5 year old English Bulldog, loves to make new friends. I have a big fenced in front yard for them to sniff and play. I have gained an extensive pet sitting family. My standards are high and I understand the importance of having a communicative and mindful pet sitter in your home. I have cared for all kinds of animals, in all stages of life and it has been such a fulfilling experience. I love what I do. Every animal is unique and I enjoy learning how to communicate with every one that I meet. I'm a permanent resident here in Apalachicola as of March 2025 and looking to build a new pet family. In my free time, I love visiting parks and beaches if your pup would like to join me! Thank you for taking the time to read about me. Please feel free to message me. Let's set up a meet and greet. :D I work at a local flower shop part-time. Hours are 10-5p and I live 5 minutes away. Being so close allows me to let dogs out in the middle of my shift. I look forward to building a new pet family there! Your pet’s schedule and needs are my priority. Every situation is unique and I take the safety of your pet seriously. I enjoy sending plenty of daily updates and photos.
“Jennifer was very loving of Mahogany. She and her children and pets welcomed him into the home as one of the family. The back yard was good for play with some good open space nearby. Definitely will board with her again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Carrabelle 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 Carrabelle.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Carrabelle 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 FL 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.
