Pet Boarding in Destin

“I can’t say enough good things about Charlie and her family. My Beau was so well cared for. He was so calm when I picked him up compared to staying at a kennel. Glad I found this great caregiver for my dog. The best!!”

“Alexandra was great! We got to do meet and greet and my Bear got along well with her pups ?. She kept in touch with photos and how he was doing and everything went very well. I would definitely recommend Alexandra to anyone I will most definitely reach out to her again next time I go out of town.”

“Amanda was great with our dog, Jax. She kept us updated with pictures throughout the stay. I highly recommend her to take care of your furry family member.”

“Chris was a great caregiver for our 6 year old Airedale. He sent many photos of our sweet boy. Chris’s photos showed our Rufus relaxing and at play. The photos confirmed that our dog was comfortable with Chris. Which was very important to us. We would definitely ask Chris to sit for us in the future.”

“We feel that Mia received the best of care from Rosemary & Matthew. I'm sure she was in good hands.....even tho she hid in the closet for most of her stay! We would use them again.”

About: Throughout my lifetime I have lived in a houseful of dogs and cats . My mom and I are dog rescue volunteers and most of them tended to end up in our loving home🩷 because of this I have a huge love for our furry friends and a great understanding of how to care for dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes and from all walks of life. There is no expense spared when it comes to comfort, love, and care for all animals I encounter. God gave us the mighty task of taking care of man’s best friend! I work from home so my animals and visiting animals get so much love and attention! I am always there when they need love, food, or potty breaks. The most time my animals go without these things is 2 to 4 hours on the weekends for errands and like. During the week and most of the weekend, my animals have free range of my home including my office, where I work. I supply my dog with plenty of toys and chew things so that he always has something to do but mostly he just wants my attention haha! My cats and dog typically free feed throughout the day. However, this does change if I have visiting animals. My animals are quite flexible and very chill, so any requirements for visiting fur babies can easily be accommodated.

“Andrew and Maria are amazing. Our dog bonded with Maria instantly; she is a true “dog whisperer” and has a profound gift with animals. They both did an excellent job caring for our dog. You won’t find a nicer couple to look after your pet in the area. I highly recommend them!!!”

“Laurie was the best dog sitter I've ever had in 15 years of having a dog! She is extremely knowledgeable about dog behavior and took extra care to make sure my dogs were happy and comfortable. She picked up on a lot of my dogs' own personalities and catered to them. Laurie was very communicative and quick to respond, she sent cute pictures and she was very flexible on pick up and drop off times. Laurie has a fenced in back yard my dogs loved to sniff around and play in. Laurie genuinely cares about dogs and takes care of them like her own. I recommend her as your dog sitter and will be using her services again!!”

“To say that Margaret is amazing is an understatement. She’s literally god sent. If you ever need a doggie sitter in the fort walton area look no further and book. Margaret was flexible, reliable and proved stellar communication by keeping me updated throughout my dog’s stay with plenty of pictures and videos. I cannot thank her enough for welcoming my fur baby, treating him like family, and providing the best care. Thank you, Margaret!!!!”

Taylor R.

“Micah was very communicative in the process. This was my first time using Rover and she definitely made my experience a great one. She assisted with boarding my little pup ,Cooper, for two days and was very accommodating with pick-up and drop-off times. She frequently updated me with videos and pictures of Coop living his best life. Cooper had so much fun playing with their dogs. I never seen him interact so well with other dogs that’s bigger than him. I highly recommend using Micah if you are in the Fort Walton area! She’s definitely my go-to option!”

“Ginny took great care of our pup during the new years holiday week! We felt so calm knowing our pup was in good hands while we vacationed in the area from DC. Would definitely recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life. I’ve got experience with dogs, cats, puppies & kittens, reptiles, birds, and just about any other pet you can think of. I’m a stay at home mom of three. All my kids are in school now, and I have the time to do walks, quick drop-ins for potty and playtime, doggy daycare (must play well with others) and offer overnight boarding with a couple of reasonable requirements. Can’t wait to meet your fluffy, feathery, fuzzy, or scaly pets! I have two dogs that I let out in our back yard as soon as I wake up. They get fresh water and food, and when the weather is nice, a walk. We have a large fenced yard that they have access to all day. I uncover and let my parrot out of her cage, at which point she promptly hops onto my shoulder. I take my kids to school, with our two pups along for the ride, come home, make coffee and watch our big, fluffy cat flop herself off the sofa to go see if I’m refilling her food bowl, and then go about my day. Our home has a large fenced yard, in a private neighborhood community. Our pets hang out inside most of the day, enjoying the various soft surfaces to nap on, and have breaks for zoomies outside. I’m happy to accommodate whatever routines you have established with your pet, in your home, and accept any requests or special needs for your pet while in my home for boarding, or daycare. During my reoccurring visits, if approved by a pet parent, I like to leave a small notebook to write little details in about the visit. I also love sharing pics of your pet with you if you’d like those too.

“Alex is Amazing! She's been taking wonderful care of my 13 y/o pup Courage both in day care & boarding, as if Courage were her dog. Alex is very attentive and kept me aware of Courage's behavior throughout the days. If you're looking for someone to take care of your pup with complete faith, look no further than Alex! 10 out of 10 Highly Recommend! 😍”

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.

“Anna took wonderful care of my sweet pup, Ivy. She was always nice, responsive, and sending updates of Ivy while under her care. So thankful for booking Anna :)”

About: I am a huge animal lover (mainly dog person, but also love cats, birds, fish, hamsters, etc)! My goal is to make sure all animals live a happy and healthy life! Ever since I was young, I have lived with a cat, dog, or bird in the house. I believe a house is not a home without an animal to love and to love you back! I currently have 10+ years experience doggy sitting (references available upon request). I have very flexible hours! I can do short or long walks, day care, as well as overnight care in your home or mine. Your pets are ALWAYS in good hands when they are with me. I will love them as if they were my own! :)

“Jeanette and her husband were great with my two doggies! I got an update almost daily and pictures were sent as well. The two are super knowledgeable about k-9s and took perfect care of mine. I would recommend and plan to use again since my pup lab-pit is now the best of friends with hers!”

“This was my first time using the Rover app. We left our dog Charlie with Rachel and Cody for two weeks while we were out of town. Rachel and Cody sent us pictures and videos of Charlie everyday. They also sent us updates on how Charlie was adjusting. I would definitely recommend Rachel and Cody!! They will be the only people I use to watch Charlie! Thank you again!!”
