“did an amazing job with our cats! my husband and i are very protective of our cats and not once did we worry about them potentially not being ok. they send lots of pics everyday and genuinely care about your animals! they are very good at responding to texts quickly and will provide whatever you need to make you feel comfortable with them being with your pet :). 10/10 would use again.”
“Cassidy has taken care of my pup twice while I was out of town. I could tell from the photos that he had a great time and was well taken care of as well as how relaxed he was when I returned. She went over and above tidying up before she left. I highly recommend her.”
“Karissa was an incredible pet sitter. Very responsive, sent lots of updates and cared well for my elderly dogs. I would highly recommend her. Very thankful we found her!”
“Christine was awesome! She was so good with our little guy and helped him settle into a new place. I booked way in advanced and she was the first sitter that did not cancel and checked in with me. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Emily has watched our two dogs on several occasions now and they love her! Emily is so reliable and so nice, she sends us pics of the dogs while we’re gone and gives us little updates. Our dogs are so much more relaxed and calm when we get home from trips thanks to Emily dropping in often and hanging out with them. Can’t recommend her enough!”

“Gina is wonderful with all of our animals. We have 4 dogs of varying age and she can handle anything from a large puppy to an elderly blind dog. We also have a green cheek conure and 4 ducks and she was happy to learn how to care for them and listens to the instructions to a T. Can't wait to book her again- she's a great communicator.”
“This is my first time using Rover and Amber; I will never put my dog in any boarding/pet hotel/ doggy daycare again!! Amber did such a wonderful job with Milo, he got personal attention, long walks and kept his schedule all in his own home. When we boarded him, it would take a couple of days just to get “Milo” back to his normal self, but when we got back today he was his normal self thanks to Amber’s excellent care. Amber also took great care of our home while we were away, keeping everything neat and clean, including laundering the bath towels and bedding used while staying here. Any apprehension we initially had using Rover for the first time has been put to rest, and Amber is a great choice to care for your pet and your home!!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and am comfortable petsitting all kinds of pets! With my volunteer experience at an animal shelter, I am also comfortable administering topical and oral medication, if necessary. I work full time, but am available to drop by in the mornings, after work in the late afternoon, and in the evenings. Can do weekends as well! I have base access so pet sitting on base is not an issue! When pet sitting, I obviously always prioritize keeping the water full and giving pets the appropriate amount of food. Making sure the environment is clean is a big one - like ensuring any accidents are cleaned up.
“Destiny was absolutely fantastic with my pup. She understands what it takes to handle a high energy dog and was fantastic at providing regular updates and photos of her as the day went along! Highly recommend. Very trustworthy.”
“Jennifer was incredibly caring, thoughtful and communicative while watching my pup. She didn't just walk her and feed her. She tried to bond with her which is incredible.”
About: Ive had dogs and cats growing up. My favorite was my best friend Charlie he was a white German shepherd. I trained him to do tricks. He was a very easy to train. He made me look like a pro. My schedule is very flexible. I do rideshare and food/grocery delivery on the side I can accept pet sitting last minute and I am also available during holidays. I would rather care for your pet in your home where your pets food, toys, and medication is and feels safe and secure in there home.
About: Hi! I am a third year medical student, and I am doing my rotations in Fort Walton Beach. I am originally from Orlando, but I actually lived in Destin for a few years growing up. I love all animals and have been pet sitting since I was in high school! My schedule is mostly clear in the evenings and on the weekends! My schedule varies from month to month with my schedule at the hospital, so I try to keep my rover calendar updated! When I am not in the hospital, your pets will be my #1 priority! Since I have a roommate, I will not be able to care for your pets in my home. But, safety is my number one priority in your home! I am very detailed oriented and attentive, so your pets will not get into any trouble on my watch!!

I love to let them roam free in my home and feel like it’s their own so they are as comfortable as possible
“Elizabeth was the best thing that happened for us as we were cancelled last minute by another sitter. She was definitely an upgrade. She went WAY above and beyond for our boy Samson. She took great care of him and loved him like family. He even got a couple baths while we were gone. She responded quickly to our numerous text messages and sent many pictures over our 10 day trip. Our house was tidy when we returned and we even had some home baked cookies on the counter. We will definitely use her to watch Samson in the future.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Choctaw Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Choctaw Beach on Rover is $44.4 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 House Sitting 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 365 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Choctaw Beach. 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 Choctaw Beach 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 Choctaw Beach 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 Choctaw Beach 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Choctaw Beach. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 100% 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.
