“Julie was absolutely amazing with our dogs, Milo and Ralph! Milo can be a bit timid and isn’t used to being left with anyone, but Julie made him feel completely at ease. When we picked them up, they were both so happy and relaxed! Julie was quick to respond, super accommodating with our schedule, and clearly cared for our pups like they were her own. We got regular updates and photos that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does, and it shows in how comfortable and happy our dogs were. Thank you Julie!!”
“She is lovely! Rocky loves her so much and is always so happy to see her. He loves when she takes him on walks and spends time with her. Genuinely couldn’t ask for someone better to trust my dog with”
About: I had My sweet Milo for just over 12 years, since he past of cancer I’m opening my home up to fur babies of all kinds. I have a apartment with a private dog park and plenty of love to go around! I love taking them to different atmosphere so they do not have the same views every day. I have always owned dogs growing up and into my adult life. I have experience with all types of dogs. Giant to small and various breeds from pitts, retrievers, poodles, bull terriers, great danes, catahoula leopard dogs, dombermans, and mastiffs. Looking forward to meeting your pup. My best friend was Milo. Milo is a pit bull, boxer, and lab mix, who sadly passed from cancer. I have rescued and foster many different pets. Some include dogs, cats, birds, exotic cats, and pigs. I currently own a marketing agency and work from home so i have A ton of free time in my hands to give your babies the love and attention they need I had My sweet Milo for just over 12 years, since he past of cancer I’m opening my home up to fur babies of all kinds.

“Alex was great from the beginning. Quick to respond and clearly a dog lover. She allowed us a dinner and a movie night out worry free. Would definitely use her services again in the future.”
“They did an amazing job and they showed how much they cared by asking questions making sure they would be the right fit for Bruno. To make it even better throughout the night they provided pictures to ease my mind about leaving my baby with them.”
“We only needed to leave our dogs for 3 hours. Whe we picked them up they were happy to see us, but did not really want to leave all their new friends. To me that means that they had a great time playing with the other dogs. We will definitely use Channing again if we are ever in need in the Destin area.”
“Gabriela was amazing. She was very accommodating and eager to abide by all of my quirky dog mom requests. We will definitely be using Gabriela next time we visit Destin for vacation.”
“Ashlea was awesome! She took a last minute request for Christmas Eve to entertain my large and energetic puppy, and sent multiple pictures and videos showing what a good time my dog was having. I 100% recommend her and would love to book in the future.”
About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats since I was in high school. And for the past ten years since. I have experience with puppies and kittens, older cats and dogs and am open and happy to spend time with your furry family member :) I work from home and spend most of my day with my 4 year old corgi. I can easily come for a walk, check in, or have your animal join me for the day! I have a fenced in backyard and work from home. I live next to a lively walking trail and have a safe space for your animal.
“This was the first time used Rover and we were very happy with the care and love Sariah provided for our girls. Sariah kept us in the loop by sending pics and videos. Would absolutely use her again.”
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.
“We had a great experience with our Rover sitter, Jeanette! She was able to accommodate a last-minute request, which we really appreciated, and took excellent care of our dog while we were away. She sent regular photos and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind and let us see how happy and well cared for our pup was. Communication was smooth from start to finish, and we felt completely confident leaving our dog in her care. We would absolutely book with Jeanette again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter!”

Renee was great! I had a very last-minute request, and she accepted it without hesitation. While my doggies were at her house, she was very responsive and always sent updates with pictures. If I’m in town again, I’ll definitely use her services. Thank you, Renee!
Channing literally saved our vacation! We brought our 2 pups to a pet-friendly condo for vacation. What we didn't realize was how much they barked and we were in a shared space! We desperately needed doggie daycare!! Within about 5 min of my post-Channing responded and was available to help at the very last minute!! She was so flexible, kind and our pups loved her. We'd use Channing again to watch our pups in a heartbeat!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Destin on Rover is $33.3 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Destin commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 288 sitters in Destin, 89% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
