About: I’ve taken care of multiple dog breeds throughout my life. Ranging from bloodhounds, German shepherds, to Belgian Malinois and others. I’m very familiar with working dog breeds and have trained myself own Belgian Malinois. No matter what need your furry family member needs, I will ensure it is met and exceeded. Currently I’m in the Army National Guard so I have tons of availability and free time to devote to animals and pet care. I also spend tons of time outside and hiking with my Belgian Malinois. I have a wooden fully fenced in back yard. I also am familiar with escapee dogs and am very quick to respond to many situations when needed. I am not afraid of confrontation so that is not a worry either.

Kathryn was very easy to get along with and she has a clear love of cats. She sent short but clear daily updates of feedings, cleanings, and how my cat was doing and interacting with her.

We were scrambling last minute for a sitter for our cat, and luckily ran across Hack. He was great with our guy, and great to keep us updated on how he was while we were away. We didn’t worry at all. Highly recommend! ❤️

About: I offer a calm, clean, and supervised home environment for boarding. My fully fenced backyard provides a safe space for potty breaks and outdoor play, and the covered screened patio gives pets a comfortable place to enjoy fresh air while staying protected from the weather and insects. I also have a quiet dining room that can be sectioned off for pets who need their own comfortable, low-stimulation area. I follow each pet’s normal feeding, exercise, medication, and care routine as closely as possible. I work full time and my available days do change at times. I would love to talk to you and see if my schedule works with yours. I have a chihuahua mix. I do have a fenced in backyard. I also, walk client's dogs around the neighborhood and nearby dog friendly parks.

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.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Destin on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 742 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Destin. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

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. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

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 .

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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Destin. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.

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.
