“Probably the best dogsitter we’ve ever had, and we’ve used many to help care for our four rescue dogs. Ashlee was communicative and responsive the entire stay and made sure she followed through on the commitment despite some tough things going on for her. Any other sitter would’ve canceled, but not Ashlee. She even agreed to meet our dogs twice beforehand so everyone felt comfortable. She is amazing with our otherwise stranger-wary Chihuahuas—they love her calm, kind energy. Dogs just know! We could put our minds at ease knowing Ashlee was with our babies. Highly recommend.”


“Taylor is the absolute best. HIGHLY recommend. She was so great about giving updates on our dog the entire time and treated panda as her own! She will definitely be my go to girl moving forward! Taylor went above and beyond all expectations. Thank you so much, Taylor!!!”

“Jo was extremely communicative and sent us lots of pictures every day. She took my dog for a walk every day and gave my cat medicine twice a day without fail. She was very kind and understood what I was looking for in a sitter. I was very nervous about having someone house sit and being away from my pets for that long, but it was made significantly better by her presence in my home. She really does love your animals like they’re her own. Will absolutely be booking her in the future.”

“This was my first time leaving my kitty alone and he made me feel so comfortable! I was updated regularity with pictures, his communication was great, and he was able to give my baby medicine no problem. I also came home to a clean house after he house sat. Communication was great and I will definitely rebook next time I need a sitter!”

“Victoria was a wonderful sitter for our 16-1/2 year old malshi! She picked her up & carried her around from the start, treated her like her own and contacted me at one point to be sure she was behaving normally for her age. We enjoyed having you and look forward to the next time!”

About: I've owned dogs my whole life and have become skilled in caring for pets. I currently have a Golden Retriever named Charlie and would love to have doggy friends to visit! I have cared for many types of dogs during my life and have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperments. I work everyday with nine hour work days (7am to 4pm) Monday through Thursday, with an eight hour day (7am to 3pm) on every other Friday giving me a free day every other week. I make time every morning and evening to take our dog Charlie on a walk. I make sure they get daily exercise letting them go for walks and I also have a small fenced in backyard. When I am home I will provide them with playtime l as well. I will provide scheduled feedings or space for free feeding dogs as well.

About: Young professional who LOVES dogs! 🐾 I’ve cared for dogs my entire life and truly enjoy every minute of it! I successfully potty trained my own pup in just 3 months and taught her to shake, roll over, and fetch. I’m patient, loving, dependable, and experienced with dogs of all ages. I can’t wait to meet, walk, play with, and love on your furry family member! I work Monday - Friday between 7am - 5pm but am available to care for the dogs before, during lunch, and after work. During the weekends I am available the whole day and a lot more flexible. I am also usually available for 3-4 day weekends. I have a crate for my dog and usually allow her to roam during the day unless I am not home or if she wants to lay down. I am very flexible to what your dog is comfortable with or what you already have set up in your home.
About: I've been taking care of animals ever since I was young, from hamsters to fish to dogs and more. I've managed both calm and trouble making animals and have experience dealing with the full age range of pets due to my personal experience as a dog owner, and from my time volunteering as a foster home for dog shelters. I'm currently working part-time, and so I have an incredibly flexible schedule. I'm available for just about hour of day for any period of time. Taking care of animals has been my weekly norm since I was a kid, so it's just what I'm used to. I have a large fenced yard for pets to feel free and roam around, and I've a multitude of my own resources at home such as bowls, crates, and pens to be used as needed. I usually like to give a pet a feel of independence to wander however they'd like throughout the home and yard, but can easily step in if greater supervision is needed. I'm usually always in the same space as my animals.
About: I love 🐕 🐶 . We foster a lot. It's nice to get all the unconditional love from our precious pets. Dogs are man's best friend I'm a stay at home mom. I have a husband and 8yo twins living in our home. I am a great caregiver. I love what do I have a fenced yard and 2 of my own medium size rescue dogs. I am very responsible and caring for my clients and their furbabies.
“Megan is AMAZING! Our Rooney absolutely loved having her for a weekend while we were away. She keep us updated and went above and beyond to grab packages for us while we were away. She sent pictures of our fur-baby and made sure he had plenty of outside time.”

About: I’ve grown up on a horse farm and have had multiple dogs since I was a child. Taking care of the dogs has always been my job while I am home. I am currently in between jobs in my field and am looking to fill the gap I love animals and want to help out where can while also making some pocket change. I am extremely trustworthy and reliable. Somewhat of a people pleaser and will do everything by whatever rules and steps you request. Willing to go on long walks to entertain pups and could potentially bring one of my small dogs along to socialize if preferred.
About: I am super friendly and responsible, and I have experience dog sitting and interacting with dogs. My family has two poodle mixes and growing up my neighbors had dogs as well that I would house and dog sit for! I love to spend time outside and with dogs! I am an athlete as well, so if your dog needs some extra exercise I frequently run and play any type of sports! My backyard is very spacious with lots of room to run and play. I have my own car and a very flexible schedule so please feel free to contact me! I work a flexible day job and I’m usually free in the evening and early mornings! Weekends are open as well! Let me know what routine you are looking for! I will tailor to your needs for you and your pet! If they need to be walked, fed, or just a friend for the day I can make it happen!
About: I’ve always been the person my friends and family call when they need someone to take care of their pets. I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and am always trying to volunteer to take shelter pups out for the day. I understand that every pet is different, and I love giving them the time and attention they need to feel safe and happy. I’m always excited to meet new furry friends! I’m currently available every day of the week! I’m a college student at Northwest Florida, but I only have one in-person class on Mondays and Wednesdays, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week. I’m able to work pet care into my schedule easily and can be flexible with drop-ins, walks, and sitting! I also have base access as I am apart of the Air National Guard! I’ll be caring for your pets in their own home, where they’re most comfortable. I’ll make sure to follow any routines and instructions you leave for me, while giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and love. I know it can be stressful leaving your pets with someone new, so I’ll do my best to make them feel comfortable and keep you updated while you’re away!
About: I have taken care of dogs, trained and loved them since early childhood and will ensure they are given the best care. Their safety is my top priority. I’m currently working part time and my work schedule can be adjusted to fit your needs. Available all evenings for overnight sitting and available on weekends. I’m interested in a dog sitting job that requires me to stay at your home overnight so that your dog feels comfortable and not out of their element.

About: Hey there! I’m LeeAnn 🙃 I’m here to help with your cutest, cuddly kitty and sweetest pupper needs! Whether I’m popping in for potty breaks, a quick stroll or making sure Whiskers can’t see there’s an empty spot in the food bowl (Cat parents, am I right?) Honestly I’m looking for something that allows the ability to create my own “flexible” schedule and be more present for my kiddos..the less furrier ones, although they act like wild animals! 🤪 I follow the instructions of the owners requests! In the summertime I am very mindful of the heat* I take a lot of shorter walks for the safety of myself and the dog - I want them to get their energy out but also don’t want the hot pavement burning their paws and/or a heat stroke for the animal nor myself. A lot of inside play consist of toy play! But again, I’m always going to be mindful of owner requests/demands

“Jana was amazing with Ralphie and Barley! She stayed for five nights, spent plenty of time hanging out with them, and sent photos and constant updates on how they were doing and behaving. We felt completely at ease while we were away. Highly recommend her for in-home dog sitting!”

“Chasity was wonderful! From the moment I requested her to watch my 2 pups, she was quick to respond and easy to schedule time for an introduction. While Chasity kept my pups she kept me updated and I sent videos of how they were doing as well! She left my house tidier than I left it and I could tell the pups were well loved! Would definitely recommend Chasity to friends and use her again!”


About: Compassionate, dependable pet care tailored to every animal’s unique personality, routine, and needs. I provide attentive companionship, thoughtful updates, and respectful care for cats, dogs, and other beloved pets, helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My schedule is flexible, and I’m available for overnight pet and house sitting throughout Santa Rosa Beach and along 30A. I’m also willing to travel for the right booking. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I organize my schedule around the needs of the pets and households I care for. I’m a published author currently working on my next book, so I value quiet time, peaceful surroundings, and the companionship of fur companions. For overnight bookings, I stay in the client’s home through the night and follow the care plan we agree upon. In addition to writing and pet sitting, I am a Sound Alchemist, Sound Practitioner, Sound Journey Facilitator, Vibrational Resonance Guide, and Sonic Meditation Facilitator. Through sound, vibration, mindfulness, and immersive listening experiences, I create peaceful, grounding environments while avoiding clinical or medical claims. These practices complement my love of quiet time and my appreciation for calm, attentive companionship. I am also capable of watering plants, collecting mail, and bringing in delivered packages while you are away. I’m happy to help maintain a lived-in appearance and care for these household details according to your instructions. I leave pets alone only according to each pet parent’s guidelines, since every pet and household has different needs and routines. Before accepting a booking, we’ll discuss your expectations, your pet’s routine, exercise needs, daytime care, medication requirements, and the amount of time your pets can comfortably be left alone. Clear communication in advance helps ensure that my availability is a good fit. As a quiet, non-smoker who deeply respects your privacy and property, I treat your home with the utmost care and cleanliness. I am fully comfortable managing home security systems and maintaining your daily household routines while you are away. I provide overnight care in the client’s home so pets can remain in familiar surroundings and follow their usual routines. I treat each home, its belongings, plants, mail, packages, and the family’s privacy with care and respect. I am attentive to instructions and pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, comfort, and needs. My experience with cats, horses, German Shepherds, Alaskan Malamutes, Siberian Huskies, and farm animals has taught me that every animal has a unique personality and requires patience, consistency, and individualized care. I also cared for my beloved cat, Sterling, for more than 22 years. These experiences have strengthened my sense of responsibility and helped me recognize subtle changes in an animal’s behavior or well-being. I welcome a meet-and-greet before each booking so you and your pet can get to know me, review instructions, and feel confident about the care plan. I provide regular photos and updates while you are away so you can stay connected and reassured. Staying overnight also provides companionship for your pets and helps your home appear occupied.

About: I’ve had pets since I was a kid. Helped train our puppies as well… since, of course, I was the one who insisted we get them. I’m especially bonded to dogs and parrots. I’ve lived with and cared for doodles, pit mix’s, Great Danes and more. I’m doing this to scratch the itch I have to be around dogs more often as we travel a bunch and can’t reasonably have one ourselves right now. So, please… let me watch your dog(s) for you! 🫶🏻 My husband and I are self employed and usually only work on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays being gone on those days anywhere from 4-8 hours tops so plenty of time to be home with your pet(s). We live in a 2 bedroom/2 bath duplex and have an indoor/outdoor cat who comes and goes as he pleases, and a tortoise who chills in our backyard. The cat isn’t around much during nice weather but likes to be inside at night on cold nights. He’s a very mild cat and will probably just ignore your dog(s). The backyard is fenced as is the side yard separate from where the tortoise is so if your dog(s) don’t like him they can be separated.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cinco Bayou
Julie was amazing! She hopped in when I had a last minute trip that I needed help with taking care of my two older pups. She took amazing care of them, sent me pictures and updated every time and was so considerate. She even left them treats and goodies when I returned! Will absolutely be using her again.

I would give Gislene 6 stars if I could. She was absolutely phenomenal. I am very anxious leaving our dogs when we travel & she made the experience so stress free. She had great communication, sent frequent updates, and put together the cutest picture and video collages for us. The dogs seemed so happy and comfortable in every picture and video she sent. Not only did she take great care of our dogs, but I think she left the house in even better shape than when she arrived. Everything was spotless when we arrived home. We will be recommending her to others and definitely use her if we need a dog sitter in the future.

Jess is amazing and we are so happy with choosing her for our pet sitter! She has been so amazing to send us photos and texts of our fur baby the whole trip. We have not left our pup with anyone overnight before this trip and Jess made it so much easier knowing she was so well taken care of. We would highly recommend her to anyone needing an in home pet sitter! She is adorable!

Karycelis was able to help me on very short notice with in-home sitting. She stayed in consistent contact, asked questions when needed, and gave me complete peace of mind that my dog was well taken care of while I was away. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter.

Darsy was great with our two pups! We decided on house sitting because our newest addition has been picky about other dog friends she meets. Darsy provided updates and photos daily and stuck to their routine. We will definitely be reaching out to Darsy in the future.

Laura came through for me at the very last minute. My original sitter for the pets couldn’t make it. She was able to watch our dogs with not a lot of notification. I’m very thankful. She did a great job with communication and I would definitely recommend. Our dogs seemed to take to her immediately!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Cinco Bayou is $48 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $64 per night. 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.

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 Cinco Bayou 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 Cinco Bayou 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 Cinco Bayou 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 , 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 .
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 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.
