“Alexis was above and beyond! She was extremely communicative and didn’t hesitate to ask amazing questions of how to care better for our pets! I recommend her with complete confidence that you will be pleased.”


“Joanna is phenomenal. Her love for animals and what she does is evident the second you meet her. She went above and beyond to meet our dogs twice before the dates we booked her. She is a professional through and through given the tough situation she had with our pups. Like she said, “it’s not a failure, it’s a learning experience “. We will be happy to work with her in the future for sure!”


“Lisa was amazing. Milo and Evie were able to stay at home in their surroundings and still be loved just like they are when I am home. She kept me updated and even went the extra mile when my original flight home was delayed. I will definitely be booking with her again the next time I need to travel.”



“Gislene stayed at my house with my pets and was absolutely wonderful! She was attentive and as loving to them as I would be. Not only did she leave my house pristine but the pets were so well taken cared of! She sent many pictures throughout the stay which I absolutely appreciated. I will definitely book her again!”


“Amber was amazing to our three very hyper dogs!! She was very attentive to their needs and even let them go swimming and that in itself is a process 🤣 10/10 recommend and we have already booked with her in the future! I know they will miss her being there with them.”


“Oh my gosh, words cannot describe the amazing comfort that Kendra brought our family watching our two girls. She is attentive, kind, and just seemed to naturally fit into the rhythm with Bay and Luna. Thunderstorms are bays biggest fear and Kendra stayed in the house wherever bay felt safe. She is an absolute Godsend ❤️❤️❤️”


“We had a last minute trip come up and Charlie was happy to help us watch our dogs again! She sent plenty of pictures and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter that really cares for your pups!”


“Pebbles and Adam loved their time with Cheryl. Cheryl was very polite, respectful, and did a great job taking care of our dogs while we were out of town. We will definitely use her again the next time we go out of town.”


About: Hi, I’m Claire! I’ve been caring for dogs for years and truly see them as family. Whether it’s going for long walks, playing fetch, or just offering a cozy spot to nap, I understand how important it is for your pup to feel safe, loved, and understood while you’re away. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels, and I’m especially comfortable with puppies who need a little extra patience, care and training. Your dog’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities, and I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’d be honored to be your dog’s new friend! Live “on post”? As a milspouse, I have access to base housing at Eglin, Hurlburt, and Duke Field. I have years of experience with freshwater aquariums and small birds also! If you have reptiles, I am comfortable handling and feeding but may need some guidance with their other needs! I’m a stay-at-home mom with three kids, and we’ve been living in the Destin area for just over a year—loving every minute of the beach life! Because we currently rent our home, I’m only offering dog walking and drop-in visits at your home. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, as I have a flexible schedule and truly enjoy getting out for walks, giving pets some extra love and attention, and helping families feel at ease while they’re away. Whether it’s a midday walk or a morning visit, I’m happy to work with your pet’s schedule and needs. I currently care for pets in their own homes through drop-in visits and walks. When I’m visiting a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect and care I would want in my own. I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their familiar environment—whether that means sticking closely to their feeding and potty routines, spending time playing and snuggling, or just offering calm companionship. I always aim to keep your pets relaxed and happy while you’re away, and I’m happy to send photo updates so you feel at ease too. Need the mail collected? Lamps on a schedule? I know leaving your home can cause worry, I’m happy to help ease your anxiety by doing small tasks around the home to ensure you come home to a happy pet and a safe environment.

“Nicole was an amazing sitter! Not only did she communicate great but she sent me cute videos of my pup with updates. Took him on walks and gave him all the attention he deserves. I highly recommend!”


“Madison is an excellent pet sitter and we would highly recommend her to anyone. She took amazing care of our dogs and kept us updated regularly with how they were doing while we were out at a concert. This was our first time using Rover, and we’re very pleased with the service.”


“Laura was a fabulous sitter. She was great with communication, and most importantly took care wonderful care of my pups! I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing services and will be a repeat customer in the future!”


“My husband and I went to Paris for a week and looked for some help with our two dogs, one 11 with back leg issues and a 2 year old pup full of energy. We matched with Taelor and set up time to meet her and Nilla (beautiful retriever). She arrived on time and everyone hit it off from the get go. Taelor moved in the day we left and stayed with our dogs for the full week looking after our dogs and sitting our home which was a huge relief for us. From day one Taelor communicated with us and sent photos of walks, play time, and some meal time updates. It was such a boost for us 5000 miles away to know our dogs were being treated with such love. By the mid point of the trip we were sharing some of Paris with Taelor as she shared photos from home. I cannot stress enough how incredibly communicative she was everyday. We got home to a pair of dogs super happy to see us but well looked after. The dishes and bedding were all washed (not requested) and the house was in perfect shape. We have already booked Taelor for a future trip and I cannot recommend her more strongly. Her rates are more than fair for the service she provides. It is like having a family member look after your pets. She is quite frankly the best. Thanks Taelor”


“Robert and his fiancé were literally amazing…. I don’t use Rover much, and due to some extra circumstances had to seek (and prefer) someone stay in my home to watch my two dogs. This was a first for me. To say my furbabies were “taken care of” is an understatement. They not only loved on both of my dogs in the way that I hoped, but respected my home and then some— I did allow (and preferred he brought his partner and their own dog with as well) and the pups played for days like three peas in a pod! I will 100%, absolutely, * pawsitively ;) * use them again if they’re still in the pet sitting game— hands down, before considering trusting anyone else. Thanks R,M, and C for helping us through a difficult time when we needed it most. It’s so much appreciated!”


“Sophia did a fantastic job taking care of the entire crew - Mila, Luna, Maya and cats- while I was away. She made sure everyone was well-fed, taken out, and kept comfortable. She also gave Luna her medication, which was a huge help and really put me at ease. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos - it was reassuring to see our pets happy and in good hands. She was communicative and reliable. Definitely grateful for her stay!”
