About: I enjoy animals more then I should lol. I have 2 dog of my own. They are super social already. But I would like to just help out other animal parents when they need it. I am a very sweet and caring person. I don’t mind going to your place to take care of your fur baby or babies or having them at my place. I will love them almost as much as you love them while they’re in my care. I enjoy animals and hate thinking there is one somewhere not getting the care it needs. I can’t wait to meet you and your fur baby or babies and have a great time with them. I work Monday-Thursday 10am-3pm and would love to help watch your babies while giving them love either while you’re out of town or just at work I have a fully fenced in yard for your doggies and mine to roam and play. Mine are very high energy and love to be outside and then take naps afterwards
“Chasity was phenomenal! She jumped in last minute to help my family through an emergency. She took the worry of caring for my two high energy dogs off my plate. Thanks a bunch!”
About: I’ve grown up on a horse farm and have had multiple dogs since I was a child. Taking care of the dogs has always been my job while I am home. I am currently in between jobs in my field and am looking to fill the gap I love animals and want to help out where can while also making some pocket change. I am extremely trustworthy and reliable. Somewhat of a people pleaser and will do everything by whatever rules and steps you request. Willing to go on long walks to entertain pups and could potentially bring one of my small dogs along to socialize if preferred.
“Nicole was available last minute. Showed up. Asked questions if needed. She stayed with our puppy until we returned even after realizing he was a handful. She sent pictures to update us. She was great.”
About: I’ve always been the person my friends and family call when they need someone to take care of their pets. I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and am always trying to volunteer to take shelter pups out for the day. I understand that every pet is different, and I love giving them the time and attention they need to feel safe and happy. I’m always excited to meet new furry friends! I’m currently available every day of the week! I’m a college student at Northwest Florida, but I only have one in-person class on Mondays and Wednesdays, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week. I’m able to work pet care into my schedule easily and can be flexible with drop-ins, walks, and sitting! I also have base access as I am apart of the Air National Guard! I’ll be caring for your pets in their own home, where they’re most comfortable. I’ll make sure to follow any routines and instructions you leave for me, while giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and love. I know it can be stressful leaving your pets with someone new, so I’ll do my best to make them feel comfortable and keep you updated while you’re away!
About: I was raised on a farm in the countryside. We had cats and dogs among other animals. Many of these I claimed as pets. I've owned several dogs in my lifetime and into their older years and currently have two cats which they think they're human. These little animals are part of our families. This makes them of great importance and priority. Their care should be taken just as seriously as each other. Listening to their needs and watching their habits they communicate. I take great care listening to the sounds and movement of a pet to discern what they are trying to communicate that they need. Flexibility is important when it comes to pet sitting. My children are almost adults now so I have more time to care for another family's pets. I do not have the room for a pet in my home but I have lots of room in my heart to take care of your pet in yours.
About: I’ve always had a dog. I love the outdoors and walk my own dog 3-4 times a day! I also have had bathing and grooming training. I am currently a wife and stay at home dog & kitten mom. I have plenty of time attention, and love to give to your fur babies! I have one dog of my own and a great yard. I will always provide the care and love you want for your furry family member.
About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’ve cared for dogs both personally and professionally, including providing walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, companionship, and administering medications when needed. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’ve cared for dogs with different routines and needs, from energetic pups who love long walks and playtime to dogs who prefer a slower pace and lots of cuddles. I’m attentive to their behavior and always prioritize their safety and well-being. I treat every pet as if they were my own and want both the pets and their owners to feel completely comfortable and confident in my care. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am usually available in the mornings, afternoons, or evenings. I can figure out a schedule that works best for you! I live in a safe apartment and will always have your dogs on a leash. I will make sure the dog is in the crate and safe if that is requested.
About: I have a lot of experiences with dogs and cats I’m not a vet but I will try my hardest to make sure your pet is in proper care! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine, as I prioritize their needs alongside my responsibilities. With my schedule, I’m free at 4:30 PM each day, which allows me plenty of time to dedicate to feeding, walking, playing, and ensuring pets are happy and well cared for. Whether it’s sticking to a pet’s routine or handling unexpected needs, I integrate their care into my week with flexibility and commitment. With 6 years of military experience, I bring discipline, responsibility, and attention to detail to pet care. I ensure pets feel safe and comfortable by following their routines, whether in my home or a client’s. I provide a clean, welcoming environment, respect the client’s space, and remain calm and resourceful in any situation, including emergencies. My focus on personalized care and consistent updates ensures pets are happy and owners have peace of mind.
About: Growing up my parents always had atleast 4 dogs and we loved them so deeply and took such good care of them that they all became a member of our family and were treated like they were one of us … I was always taking care of new puppies and neighbors pets when they went out of town and since I can’t convince my husband to let me get another dog I decided the next best thing would be to sit for other peoples animals!! I currently work a part time job . I wake up around 5 and let the dogs out to go potty then bring them in and give them time to eat and drink . They get walked one more time before I head out to work and then go into the kennel if they aren’t trained . As soon as I get home they go outside to go potty and I check their food and water to make sure they have plenty . For the rest of the evening they get walked a few more times and taken to the dog park atleast once before bed. I have a kennel for one extra large dog and I walk them through my neighborhood to the dog park that is exclusive for the residents there. There is not usually anyone there and if there happens to be a dog there that doesn’t seem the friendliest there is a smaller fenced off area for the babies or dogs that aren’t as friendly. I have an extra large tub incase baths are needed and a large dog bed for them to get cozy in after a long day!

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Destin is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 736 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Destin. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.

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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
