About: Hi! I’m a reliable, caring pet sitter who offers dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, and boarding — both in my home and in yours. I truly love animals and treat every pet like part of my family. I’m very responsive, flexible, and available for last-minute and short-notice bookings. My goal is to make pet care easy and stress-free for you — and fun for your pet 🐾 Whether your pet needs a quick walk, overnight care, or full-time attention while you’re away, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy. I send regular photo and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: I've cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each one. From energetic puppies who love to play to senior dogs who prefer a slower pace, I provide patient, attentive care tailored to them. I'm reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to keeping your pet's routine as consistent as possible. I understand how much our dogs mean to us, so you can count on me to treat yours with the same love, respect, and care I'd want for my own. I'm currently a stay at home mom, so I'll have plenty of time to fit your furry family members into my schedule. Can't wait to meet your best friends! I will care for your animals, in your home/yard, and follow all guidelines you have, to keep your animals happy and safe! I'm happy to provide pictures during their playtime and care, as well as any other communication.
“Jenna was absolutely amazing with my boys over the 4th of July weekend! She was so responsive and sent a lot of pictures (without me prompting), which let me know they were in the perfect hands! Hands down recommend her for any of your pets/furbabies! But especially if you have an older border collie mix with a strange personality—she handled him with grace and love. Definitely book with Jenna!”

“Kerry was great, I felt comfortable with her in my home and taking care of my MOST precious pups! She sent me many pictures throughout the day & she gave them so much attention! I go out of town frequently and find it hard to find a great at home pet sitter. She was even so sweet to check my mail for me. I will definitely use her again!”

About: I’ve been taking care of animals for over five years, turning a lifelong love for pets into a reliable, full-service pet sitting business. From energetic puppies needing long neighborhood runs to gentle senior cats requiring precise medication schedules, I specialize in providing personalized, stress-free care right in your pets' home environment. Owners count on me for complete peace of mind, knowing their pets are getting constant companionship, playtime, and daily photo updates while they're away. Whether it’s maintaining strict routines or offering extra belly rubs, I treat every animal like family. My daily routine is built entirely around providing dedicated, high-quality care for your pets! I work a short 3-hour morning shift with Amazon, which leaves the rest of my day completely open to focus on what I love most: caring for your furry family members. I have a big fenced in yard to let my furry friends roam. I can also crate your pets if you’d like. I love to let them roam free in my home and feel like it’s their own so they are as comfortable as possible
About: Hi there! I’m an Alaqua Animal Refuge approved foster momma! I treat every animal like they’re part of my family, not just a booking. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away — whether that means structured walks, playtime, or plenty of snuggles on the couch. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and communication so you always know how your pet is doing because I know how important peace of mind is when trusting someone with your best friend. Pet care fits naturally into my daily schedule because I own my own business and work from home. This allows me to provide frequent supervision, potty breaks, walks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I also have the flexibility to step away when needed for walks, drop-ins, or special care requests, so pets receive consistent care without long periods alone. I adjust care to each dog’s personality and needs — whether that’s structure and patience for puppies or extra comfort and gentle care for seniors. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow routines closely and provide regular updates and photos so owners always feel reassured. My goal is simple — happy, comfortable pets and owners who feel completely at ease while they’re away.
“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: I’ve taken care of all types of fur babies since I could remember, my mom would literally always have animals and dogs growing up. I am extremely organized, love going by a set schedule/instructions, go on many walks, and would love the extra company! I currently work a 9-5 schedule, with zero weekends or holidays. This gives me lots of availability during the weekends to help you out! I always want lots of detail for your pet and what makes them comfortable. My pupper is my baby, and he occasionally needs a sitter as well. So I totally understand the importance of having a sitter that is very straightforward and reliable. My apartment also has an enclosed dog park with a very safe/peaceful neighborhood to walk which we really enjoy.
About: I recently left teaching profession to care for my 88 year old mom. My husband, Rob, was USAF grad and former 26 year Special Ops pilot. We traveled and had many animals over the years. We've been married 43 years. Now we have small farm in the country with she, hogs, dogs, cats, chickens and more. However i stay in a home currently with my handicapped mom about 10 minutes away. I recently moved off farm and into my mom's home due to her care. I care for my daughter's two dogs until she is out of nursing school next year. A 4 year old Pembroke Corgi named Cash, and a 12 year boxer named Sassy. We are located just north of Crestview, in Heritage Plantation. There is a huge yard, and a sectioned area for separation if needed and to keep main area of back yard free of "poo". Plenty of space, and company for any dogs so they won't miss owners too much. I currently have flexible schedule with substituting and real estate. I am home consistently. I will be home most days of the week. Your dog will be loved on by my mom and I. I have 3/4 acre yard which has been sectioned off into two zones for dogs to do their business and the rest for play. I also have two kennels for sleeping or separating if needed. There is a clean and soft camp mattress available for your pet at will. Plenty of toys and my daughter's two dogs are calm yet playful.

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.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities — from energetic puppies who need structure and playtime, to senior pets who deserve extra patience and gentle care. I make it a priority to get to know each animal’s unique routine and needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. What sets me apart I treat every pet as if they were my own family. Beyond basic walks and feeding, I focus on keeping pets happy, stimulated, and calm — whether that’s through long walks, games of fetch, or simply giving them the quiet affection they crave. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always communicative, so you’ll have peace of mind knowing your pet is cared for like a priority. I currently work part time so I will have plenty of time to give attention to the animals!! I can do feedings and walks morning and night no issues there. I have a fenced in yard, very accessible for letting animals out to go potty and my household only consists of me and my partner so there won’t be many people coming in and out of the home so there’s more consistency for the animals.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in DeFuniak Springs on Rover is $72.15 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 193 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across DeFuniak Springs. 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 DeFuniak Springs 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 DeFuniak Springs 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 DeFuniak Springs 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 DeFuniak Springs. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
