“Hannah is so amazing, responsive, and responsible. If there were 10 stars, I’d give her 10!!! My boys loved her and she took them on a fantastic walk. We will be having her help us again in the future.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Schyrita was absolutely wonderful with Stella and Viper! Knowing she was coming over to care for them gave me such incredible peace of mind while I was away. She was attentive, caring, and wonderful with both of my dogs, and I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in her care. It means so much to have someone you can trust with your pets, and I would absolutely recommend Schyrita to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter!”
“I needed help last minute with taking my dog on regular walks for 2 days in a row. Luckily I found Ferrin!!! I didn’t get to meet her in person but just from my communication and walk reports, I could sense how much of a animal lover she is! I think I can speak for everyone when I say my dog is my baby lol, and I was not worried or stressed for a single second. She is punctual, caring, and friendly! 10/10 recommended ?”
“When we need someone to watch our babies again Rebecca is who we will turn to. She kept us updated while we were away and the pets were getting along better when we got back. I do’t know what she said to them but I won’t be surprised if I find our dog and younger cat curled up together. He has become quite protective of her. After Rebecca left, our Maddox cried. He wanted to go with her. Rebecca is a keeper as a sitter. I highly recommend her. Very carring.”
About: While professional dog walking for others is new for me, caring for dogs is not. I was lucky to spend 14 amazing years with my own dog, who was truly my soul dog and taught me so much about patience, attentiveness, routine, and unconditional love. After recently stepping away from my corporate career to slow down and focus on things that genuinely bring me joy - spending time with dogs, being active outdoors, creating meaningful connections. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I would care for them with the same kindness, attention, and love I gave my own. Whether your furry friend loves long walks, playtime, or simply companionship, I'm excited to provide a safe, fun and loving experience for them. Because I've recently stepped away from a corporate career I am flexible with my time, which allows me the ability to care for your furry friend. Dog walking is the perfect fit for this season of life because it combines my love for dogs, being active outdoors, and building meaningful connections in my community. You can expect dependable communication, punctuality, lots of love and attention for your pup, and someone who will care for them as if they were my own. At this time, I’m focusing exclusively on dog walking so I can provide the best possible experience and attention to each pup I care for. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I will make sure they are securely leashed, closely supervised, walked in safe areas, and cared for according to your instructions and their individual needs. Whether your dog enjoys energetic walks or a slower pace, you can expect dependable care, patience, and lots of love every step of the way.
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 currently am a college student with a lot of freetime and I love to include animals in my daily life and I need some extra cash to help pay for college! I live on an acre lot (completely fenced). 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!!
“My experience with Elizabeth as a pet sitter was wonderful, and I would highly recommend her for any of your pet care needs. She house sat for a full month while caring for our dog and cat. Our dog can be anxious around new people and requires medication three times a day, and Elizabeth handled everything with ease. Her background in veterinary care, calm presence, and compassionate approach gave me complete confidence while we were away for several weeks. I will absolutely be contacting Elizabeth again for our future pet care needs. Thanks again!”
“Grace has been walking my dog once per week for one month. she is very reliable and always on time. i trust her with my dog. my dog will spend one whole day with Grace this weekend!!!! i highly recommend her!!!!”
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 been the person my friends and family call when they need someone to take care of their pets.

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!

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Destin. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

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 walker.
