“Paulina is a top tier pet sitter. My partner and I could not have been more pleased with the level of care and consideration she offers. We will be booking her for the foreseeable future. Even though this was our first time working with her she puts you at ease and I knew I could trust her immediately. Thank you Paulina ✨🫶🏻”

About: I have been pet sitting since I was 15! I took a break while I was getting my masters degree abroad and although now I am back working a full-time job in HR I still miss having a furry friend around. I grew up with my family fostering many dogs throughout the years and we are all dog lovers. I have experience volunteering with rescue animals such as horses, lizards, cats, and dogs. Additionally, I just started volunteering at the Alaqua rescue! I work in human resources and recently graduated with my masters, which I got in Ireland this year. I work a 980 schedule and I am off every other Friday and work from home on my on Friday. Although I do not care for pets in my home I have had years of experience building strong relationships with my clients by providing consistent and reliable service in their homes.
About: I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember, from fostering and caring for pets to gaining hands-on experience with wildlife rehabilitation growing up. Those experiences taught me patience, how to read animal behavior, and how to stay calm and attentive when an animal has unique needs. I also have a dog of my own who is a tripod, so I understand firsthand that every pet may require a different level of care, mobility support, patience, and routine. My background in healthcare has made me especially detail-oriented, dependable, and comfortable following specific care instructions. Most importantly, I’m outgoing, compassionate, and genuinely love building trust with animals and making them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and ensuring they have fun while their owners are away. As a stay-at-home dog mom, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve! I love spending time outdoors, so walks, playtime, potty breaks, and fresh air can easily be part of our day. I’m also happy to adjust my routine around your pet’s normal schedule, whether that means specific feeding times, medications, extra exercise, or just plenty of snuggles and company. I have a medium sized 25 pound female dog who is incredibly friendly and loves to play with all sized dogs but also does a fantastic job minding her own business if another dog isn’t interested. I live in an apartment complex with two large fenced dog parks and are within walking distance of many safe trails. Additionally I have two dog washing stations here if needed! In client homes I am incredibly respectful and very trustworthy of whatever rules and wishes are stated to ensure the highest level of care for your pet!
“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!!”
About: My neighbors rely on my heavily to cat and dog sit for them. I love all animals and i own a few exotic animals myself!

I have a beagle and golden retriever to keep company. I also have several crates and different rooms to house the pets if they need to be separated!!
“Darsy was absolutely amazing with my 16-week-old puppy. She was consistently reliable, punctual, and genuinely caring. It's clear she loves dogs! We hope to rebook her when she’s back in our neck of the woods.”
About: I have worked as a kennel tech for dog daycare and took care of multiple dogs with different personalities. I’ve also pet sat cats and dogs for family friends. I typically work 4-5 days a week and work to integrate your pet needs into my schedule so that they’re taken care of while you’re away At a clients home I like to go over any safety precautions and routines so I can stick to what your pet is familiar with while I’m there.
About: Have had 6 years experience with dogs and have petsat for multiple friends, family, or family friends. I have a fenced yard and always willing to go for walks. Used to volunteer at an animal shelter in college Available every day since I usually stay at home due to flexible work schedule or in the local area to study. Usually free to outdoor activities or be a stay at home body I have a fenced yard and a 1700 sq foot home with no roommates or other pets! Animals are available to roam all over the house freely and I am more than welcome to keep them out of a crate if they are trained and do not have a history or chewing on furniture

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! I work from home so will be home the entire day with your pup for endless fun. Both Max and I have had pets our whole lives and would LOVE to hang out with your dog while you are away.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in middle school. I’ve dogsat for family, friends, and neighbors! I love cuddling up with any pet but especially the senior pups who need extra love. I always make sure each pup gets enough attention and playtime when I visit!! I have a part-time job that keeps me busy midday but i’m always available to stop by for a few hours in the mornings and at nights! I understand that puppies that go into crates when home alone cannot stay there for more than 10 hours at a time. So i’ll make sure to at least take them potty between longer visits! Lots of love and care can definitely help a dog with attachment issues. My chorkie named Tebow is always nervous about something (the Chihuahua in him) and we let him know he’s safe with play time and cuddle time.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Destin
Staci is absolutely fantastic!!! Shows up when she says and takes care of our dog perfectly like he is her own. We will rebook with her every time if she’s available and would recommend her to anyone that wants reliability and professionalism and someone that will genuinely care for their pet while they are away and not have to worry about anything!!! If we could give more than five stars we definitely would.
Mckayla was amazing!!! We could not have asked for a better sitter for our Lovey. Lovey has loads of energy as she is still very puppy like at the age of 2. Mckayla was able to keep up & she took her on walks everyday. We did not require walks at all but she chose to do it anyways. We will definitely be using McKayla’s services again!!
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!
Christine did a wonderful job taking care of my dogs during her drop-in visit. She arrived right on time, had great communication throughout the process, and was very responsive to messages. I really appreciated the updates and photos she sent, which gave me peace of mind knowing my dogs were being well cared for. Christine was reliable, professional, and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter and would happily book with her again!

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.
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 Destin 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!
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 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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
