“Cheryl is amazing and can always be counted on, no matter the situation. Responsive, reliable, respectful, easy to work with, and our kitties are lucky to have her dropping in to take care of them.”
“I had an absolutely wonderful experience! It gave me so much peace of mind knowing the pups were being loved and cared for while away. She was dependable and treated Chase and Recci like they were her own. It’s clear she truly loves animals, and that makes all the difference. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Gina was wonderful, once again, with our Grace! She takes the time to pet and play with her, and looks out for our home while we are away. Her care is top notch. Grace loved her time with Gina, and really adores her! We will use Gina again in the future!!”
“Cassidy is wonderful! She looked after our kitty so well. Receiving daily updates and sweet photos really helped to put us at ease. We were able to enjoy our vacation, knowing that our cat was well looked after. Thanks so much, Cassidy!”
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.
“My dog took to her instantly and it’s apparent Caitlyn has been around animals. She’s very attentive to dogs needs. I feel grateful I found her. She spent a lot of time with me and Bella at the meet and greet.”
“Ginny was fantastic! She was dedicated to caring for our animals! She was also happy to send pictures along of our happy pets which made it all more comfortable knowing they were in good hands while we away on vacation! Thank you Ginny!!”
“Best cat sitters ever. I have never had to use a service like this before. Beyond impress. I was completely at ease knowing that both of my cats were in such loving and caring hands. The photos and notifications were so helpful and kept my mind stress-free. Will absolutely book again.”
“Chasity was phenomenal! She jumped in last minute to help my family through an emergency. She took the worry of caring for my two high energy dogs off my plate. Thanks a bunch!”
“Kathryn was very easy to get along with and she has a clear love of cats. She sent short but clear daily updates of feedings, cleanings, and how my cat was doing and interacting with her.”

We have a great backyard that is fully fenced and are in a great neighborhood for walks, close to an amazing park and the trails!

We are an active family who love to adventure and be active. I am happy to take your pup on as many walks as he or she would like.

We are very laid back about them being on furniture etc. whatever makes your pet feel most at home!
“I can’t say enough good things about Farrin! She has an obvious love for animals and such a sweet demeanor. She met me and Charlie before drop in visits for a week and he immediately loved her. She had great communication throughout, sent the cutest pictures, and I had such peace of mind leaving my little guy in her care. Don’t hesitate to use her for your pet. ?”
About: Hi there! I’m Paige! I’m a 27-year-old, born-and-raised Floridian who recently moved to the Panhandle with my two Pomskys, Duke and Charley. My boys are 2 and 3, full of energy, and the absolute sweetest, so I’m very well-versed in cuddles, long walks, playtime, and keeping pups happy and entertained! I live in the Downtown Destin area and work remotely full-time, which means my weekdays are flexible and I have plenty of time throughout the day to give your pup some extra love and attention while you’re away. I’d love to help out fellow animal lovers in the area and make sure your dogs feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re gone. Whether they need a midday walk, some playtime, a potty break, or just a little company, I’m happy to help! Your pup will be treated like family! I work a fully remote position, so I’m home with my own dogs throughout the day and regularly take them out for walks and breaks. That flexibility also allows me to give your pup plenty of attention and care while you’re away! If your dog is more comfortable in their own home, I’m happy to spend time with them there while my dogs stay home. Or, if they’re social and would enjoy some company, they’re welcome to come hang out at my house with my two friendly boys, Duke and Charley! When visiting your home, I’ll always be respectful of your space, privacy, and any house rules you have in place. I want your pup to feel as comfortable and cared for as possible, so please let me know about any routines, favorite toys, preferred rooms, treats, or special instructions. The more I know, the better I can make their time with me feel just like home!
“Nicole was available last minute. Showed up. Asked questions if needed. She stayed with our puppy until we returned even after realizing he was a handful. She sent pictures to update us. She was great.”
“I really appreciate Madeline's daily drop-ins to feed and check on my cat. I can travel for a few days and not have to worry about leaving my cat at home. And my cat loves her!”
About: With over 10 years of experience helping people care for their dogs in Austin Texas, I now offer loving in home dog care in Santa Rosa Beach, FL. I bring calm, grounded energy from my yoga background and treat every dog like family. I’ve worked with senior dogs, shy pups, and everything in between always with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily life. I currently have a very open schedule as I focus on deepening my yoga and meditation practice to eventually offer online sessions. Spending time with animals brings me peace and joy they offer unconditional love without judgment, and I love giving that love right back. Being around dogs helps me stay present, grounded, and connected to what truly matters. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress free as possible. I make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow your care instructions closely whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or medications. I also create a calm atmosphere through my grounded energy and presence, thanks to my background in yoga and meditation. I treat every dog with kindness, patience, and genuine love as if they were my own.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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.

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.
