“Staci was so wonderful and caring. She was very patient with one of my very shy cats and my not-so-shy boys really loved her. Definitely recommend her to care for your furry friends”
“I would recommend Christine to any cat owner out there! She was communicative, willing to drop by beforehand to make sure she met the cats and knew how to take care of them, and clearly had experience with cats. I came home to happy kitties and a very clean litter area, which was a bonus.”
“Barbara is a kind and thoughtful caregiver. I would trust her with any pet. People can feel comfortable that she will do all she can to make their animals feel cared for while she is with them”
“Wonderful cat sitter! Jennifer was quick to respond to any messages I sent her. Jennifer was also great at sending pictures of my cats; she even got my very shy cat to come out and play with her catnip mice! A great choice for anyone in the Destin area. Thank you again!”
About: I have had many dogs and cats over the years, starting in early childhood. They have always been a source of joy and companionship to me, true family members. I have had and trained many puppies and I am aware of the importance of good crate training and schedules! I am also versed in special needs dogs that have limited mobility and medical needs. It has been many years since I have had cats (ex husband had allergies) but they are truly amazing creatures. You always feels so honored to be given their attention! I have also had guinea pigs, rabbits, goats, birds and a horse. I am currently working part time and have lots of flexibility in timing. I am usually an early bird and don't mind visits that are earlier in the day. I do normally turn in early but can make adjustments as needed with advance planning. My typical visit includes lots and lots of attention after meeting basic toileting needs. We go outside, sniff, play catch, and they get lots of pets and scratches from me. I will make sure that food and water is available unless otherwise directed. I clean up any accidents that may have occurred. I try to make sure the dog/cat has toys or enrichment available to entertain them until their parents come home. If needed, I can pick up mail or packages and bring them inside.
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.
“I cannot recommend my dog sitter enough! Leaving your fur baby in someone else’s care is never easy, but they made the entire experience completely stress-free. They treated my dog like family, kept me updated with photos and messages, and made sure all of her needs were met exactly as instructed. My dog can be particular with her routine, medications, and care, and I came home to a happy, healthy, and relaxed pup, which says everything. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in such loving and capable hands. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, trustworthy, compassionate, and truly loves animals, I wholeheartedly recommend them. I will absolutely be using them again in the future!”
About: I have always had pets growing up, specifically dogs and cats. I currently have 2 dogs at home, which live at my moms house when I am on the road. My Nan also has 8 cats, who live right down the street from me and I see nearly everyday when I am in town. I love being able to spend time with animals when I am traveling because it gives me a comfort of being at home, and allows me to still see pets even though I am far away from mine. I always jump at the chance to pet-sit for friends and family members when I have the chance, no matter where they are in the world :) I travel full time and work remotely, giving me ample time to spend with your pets! Working from home, or in this case, your home, gives me the freedom to make my own schedule and care for your pets as they need :) As I travel for a living, I offer in home sitting within the clients home. As long as I am in the area, I am more than happy to care for your pets within their preferences at home.
“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.”
“Rebecca is a natural to calm and give sweet assurance to my kitty. Rebecca is the best. It been two trips I had to take for my job. First trip 16 days gone. I felt completely assured my BeBe was well taken care of. Videos were great to see my kitty interact with Rebecca.”
“My Simba is picky about his friends. Sharen is now considered one of them. THAT is saying something! I could not be happier with how she took care of my fur baby while I was out of town. I'd absolutely reccomend her and she'll be my first call next time I leave town.”
“Jamie has been our primary drop in Pet Sitter now since we got our Keeshond puppy SHADOW back in Oct 2023. She has helped "raise him" and has always taken great care to maximize her time with him! From feeding, to walks, to cleaning up puppy accidents, to playtime,.... She has done an incredible job! And she always checks in and out via the app and posts plenty of great photos! Jamie has my highest possible recommendation and gratitude!”
“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!!”
About: I’ve had a Cavalier King Charles for my whole life, the first one for 13 years and now my own for a year. He is my world and he gets along great with all dogs no matter size or age. I care for other dogs as if they’re my own and will always keep owners updated with pictures and/or text messages!! I have experience with giving meds, making food, feeding schedules, walking, potty breaks, etc. Let me watch your furry ones!! I’m currently in school Monday-Thursday from 7am-2pm and sometimes earlier, so weekends work better for boarding, however i’m willing to make it work. I can always pop in to walk your pup or take them out, or have them in my house! Up to you. I let my dog roam throughout the day and he does great. I always turn on a show for him:)) I have a fenced in backyard and take my dog for a walk everyday. I love taking him to the dog park as well and he would love to have a friend in the home, or I can come to yours and take care of them there!
“She’s always been so flexible! Our pup loves her and her drop in visits and we do too! I feel so much better at work knowing he has her checking in on him. She’s always been so helpful!”
“Jenna was awesome! She is very professional and friendly. And most importantly, our fur babies were properly taken care of. They are happy and healthy. It was such a great peace of mind having Jenna take care of our babies while we were gone. I will use her services again and I highly recommend her.”

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.
