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.
“Kristin always takes such good care of my little dude. She’s always on time and when I get back he’s doing great and everything is exactly like I left it. This time my cat threw up a bit and Kristin cleaned it up. She even washes his plates from the previous day. Absolutely wonderful with pets, and I’m always at ease when I know she’s checking in. Thank you!!”
“Christine was terrific with my shy kitties— they warmed right up to her! She was easy to communicate and book with, and reliable. Will definitely book her again!”
“Barbara was absolutely wonderful!!! She stayed in touch daily with updates, photos and any concerns with my little guys! She spoiled them just like they were her own. My home was super tidy when I returned and I couldn’t ask for more! Absolutely wonderful! She gave me peace of mind knowing everything was taken care of ❤️ Thank you Barbara and Rover! You have a forever customer ✔️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“McKayla was OUTSTANDING!! I had a last minute cancellation with a sitter, and she was able to make it work for us. I got lots of pictures and my girls looked so happy. Even my dog Keera, who doesn’t do well with strangers, loved her. I hope I get to work with her again.”
“Melanie dropped by our home to check on our two kittens. She always sent updates and pictures. She communicated very well and was super trustworthy! We’ll definitely have her watch our cats again 😊”
“Staci thank you so much for the last minute schedule to come by to care for Teddy and his cats! ? I highly recommend Staci to anyone who is very overprotective of their animals and wants the RIGHT love and care. I didn’t have to worry about anything and truly enjoyed my time away. Very communicative and loving. My animals love Staci. I will be using you again. Thanks again you rock.”
About: I’ve worked with neighborhood pets, mainly dogs and cats. I’m responsible, detail-oriented, and love making sure pets feel happy and safe. I’m excited to bring an outgoing, energetic approach to every pet care experience. Im available all day! I can provide multiple check-ins throughout the day, along with walks, playtime, and plenty of attention to keep your pet happy and cared for. While I don’t offer pet care in my own home, I’m committed to keeping your space clean, tidy, and just the way you left it. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable in their familiar environment.
About: I didn’t grow up as a “dog person”—I grew up as a cat person. I was raised around cats (at one point, 12 of them: mom, dad, and two rounds of kittens) and dogs, with my dad mainly caring for the dogs. Cats were always my thing, and I never pictured myself as a dog mom. That changed about a year ago. I’m also a mom to two human boys under 10, and they wanted a dog so badly. I agreed to adopt—with the condition that they would be involved in caring for him. One day at an adoption event, I was holding a puppy… and the next thing I knew, I was walking into a pet store holding him like a baby and buying dog food. That’s how Jameson joined our family. Jameson is now one year old—a very smart, friendly Weimaraner–Pit Bull mix who loves other dogs, kids, and humans. After him, I confidently told my kids: one dog is enough. Joke's on me!. One morning, 5 months ago, one of my boys woke up and said, “I dreamed we have another dog. His name is Chris. He’s white with spots.” I immediately said no. A few hours later, we found Christopher, a white dog with spots who had been left behind near Walmart. And that’s how dog number two came home. Now the house has four boys—two human, two canine—and it’s honestly not chaos. It’s full of structure, routine, love, and daily trips to the dog park. I enjoy training, I’ve read books on dog behavior, and both Jameson and Christopher are well-mannered, social, and happy dogs. I’m patient, attentive, and very hands-on. I understand dogs as family members, not just pets—and I’m especially comfortable with dogs who live in homes with kids and real-life energy. Bonus: my dogs are bilingual. I speak English and Spanish, and yes… I can teach your dog Spanish commands if you want 😉🐾 Pet care isn’t something I squeeze into my routine — it’s already built into it. I’m a real estate broker associate, a full-time mom, and I homeschool my two boys, which means my schedule is flexible, intentional, and home-centered. Daily walks, playtime, feeding schedules, training, and supervision are part of my normal rhythm, not an exception. I’m a hands-on dog mom to two active, social dogs, so outdoor time, dog park visits, and balanced downtime at home happen every day. Because I homeschool, I’m present throughout the day and able to give consistent attention, structure, and companionship to dogs in my care. Routine and reliability matter in my household. Pets are supervised, engaged, and treated like family, not left alone for long stretches. Weekly, I stay consistent with training reinforcement, socialization, and monitoring each dog’s behavior, appetite, and overall well-being. In short: pet care fits seamlessly into my daily life — it’s part of how we live. I care for pets the same way I care for my own: with routine, attention, and respect for who they are. I stick closely to feeding schedules, exercise needs, and home rules. While I don’t have a patio, we’re five minutes from the dog park, and daily walks — including nearby nature spots — are part of our normal routine. Lots of supervision, movement, and love, always adjusted to each pet’s personality.
“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.”
About: I think a meet and greet is an important way to let me know if your pet needs anything special for their visit. I want pets to be my job. I have flexible hours to take care of your pet. If you have a senior dogs that needs to be walked by his/herself, that's no problem. They usually need to go at a slower pace so they can enjoy their walk. I can do walks or just drop in visits to be with them. I can also drop in visits for your cat, so they are not lonely. I think cats need attention & exercise while pet parents are away. I can give them playtime and keep you updated on their response. I want pets to be my job. I have flexible hours and the time to take care and play with your pups. I can also provide boarding on weekdays and/or weekends. I have no problem walking larger dogs, but I can only board dogs 20 lbs or under. (my dogs are 11 lbs and under.) I have had pets for over 30 and taking care of family, friends and neighbors pets for over 25 years. I treat your pet as if they were my own. I have a small fenced in yard and also have small dogs to keep your pup company. I am also able to crate your pup if needed. I have a dog door, but if I have to run errands the pups are safely keep inside until I return. My fur babies like to lay in the sun.
“Taelor was amazing. She always made sure our cat was taken of while dropping in and did things without questions (I.e cleaning his litter box, giving him fresh water). Her updates were much appreciated and we’ll definitely be using her in the future”
About: I have been around animals my whole life. I enjoy spending time with them when their family is away. I think it is great if they can be at home with their normal routine. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to care for pets. I have a flexible schedule with good availability right now. I will follow the directions and schedule left by the pet or home owner. I think it is important to keep the pets on their routine.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Destin on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
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.
