“Tyeshia helped us with our puppy for a couple weeks and she made the biggest impact! It is apparent that she cares about our baby girl just as much as we do! Her updates were informative and thorough, and overall communication was a huge plus. She even brought her own treats and water bowl, going above and beyond. 10/10 recommend Tyeshia to help your family, she will not disappoint. We will be booking again in the future!”
“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 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: I grew up in a house with animals for as long as I can remember, from dogs, cats, to snails. I have experience with all kinds of breeds, from working hunting dogs to the most suborn bassets. Am always looking for a new (furry) friend to keep me active. Currently working part time, with very adjustable schedule. Very happy to stop by at all hours, rain or shine. Always happy for the excuse to leave the house and get active. Respectfull of all boundaries, pet and human alike. Always willing to bring my own treats, and spoil your animals in whatever way you seem fit.
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!
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.
About: I’ve taken care of multiple breeds dogs since I was young and have grown up with 3 dogs in my own house. Love getting outside and live very close to a great dog park in town! Flexible to meet the needs for each individual pet. I’m a pilot so my schedule fluctuates a lot week to week but on days where I’m not flying I am free every afternoon and evening, not traveling much on the weekend for the next couple months either! I have a spacious 3 bed 2.5 bath condo with front and back doors that open to grassed areas. Both doors have a lock and the front door has a ring camera on it. Very loving environment as I absolutely adore animals and would be honored to take care, walk, or just hang with your pets for a few hours!!

I'm available mostly everyday for walks for your busy schedule :) I work from home. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of room for play!

About: I have pet sat almost every summer since I was 13 years old. A mix of caring for my own dogs as well as family friends and coworkers furry friends. I've always had an affinity to animals and I am more than comfortable around dogs or cats. I am currently attending school, but my schedule is not too demanding leaving me with plenty of time to care for your pets. I am quite flexible both with my schedule and yours, cancellations are permitted at anytime! With a soccer field just down the street walks and playtime are no problem! We also have a pet friendly home with plenty of toys and space for your baby!
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.
About: I’ve always loved dogs and will do my best to show your dog a good time. Money spent here will be spent on treats, hats and sunglasses for dogs. I am doing this because I love dogs and can’t have one of my one yet. I work 14 days on and 14 days off transporting oil and gas workers to and from the platforms in the Gulf of Mexico. This schedule keeps me from having a dog of my own but I always enjoy the company of dogs. This schedule also give me the free time to have awesome adventures with my friend’s pets on ocasión and hopefully your pet as well. I live in an apartment here in destin that is walking distance to a dog park on Indian Bayou. I will not except an offer unless I can accommodate the need of the dog specified by it’s human.
About: LOVING CARE FOR YOUR PETS I have had dogs of some sort all of my life. I now have 2 Great Danes,that are my greatest companions. I love taking dogs on walks and giving them exercise with playtime, let me know their favorite game!5 To me caring for dogs is one of the easiest ways to have fun and make a difference to the animals life. I will care for your fur babies as if they were my own.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Destin
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!
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.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Destin stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.
To find sitters in Destin with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
