Thank you for taking care of my babies at the last min. And also thank you for cleaning up the mess they made getting into the cat food. I don't know what I'm going to do with those silly pups of mine. Thank you for the great care and love you give them.

About: It's great to have a dog around!! From my first dog Cookie to boarding my Uncle's dog Fearless..well you just fall in love. Dogs force me to be the outdoor person I was meant to be..how can I say no to a walk?? I am super disciplined about feeding, watering, and any special needs. Can't wait to meet your furry friend... I am around most days and can be flexible depending on owners needs. I don''t require a lot of notice for walks, sitting, and or boarding. My home is dog ready..I have a fenced yard and a dog park close to me. Flexible accomodations..can have dogs run free in home..can crate if necessary. Fenced yard complete with turf grass. I live on a dead end street in a semi private neighborhood.

About: I have always had pets growing up, specifically dogs and cats. I currently have 2 dogs at home, which live at my moms house when I am on the road. My Nan also has 8 cats, who live right down the street from me and I see nearly everyday when I am in town. I love being able to spend time with animals when I am traveling because it gives me a comfort of being at home, and allows me to still see pets even though I am far away from mine. I always jump at the chance to pet-sit for friends and family members when I have the chance, no matter where they are in the world :) I travel full time and work remotely, giving me ample time to spend with your pets! Working from home, or in this case, your home, gives me the freedom to make my own schedule and care for your pets as they need :) As I travel for a living, I offer in home sitting within the clients home. As long as I am in the area, I am more than happy to care for your pets within their preferences at home.

About: 💗 Experienced with a variety of furry friends 💗 Consistent communicator 💗 Comfortable with large dogs and pets with behavioral challenges I have never known a life without the joy of pets! My experience with many dogs, cats, fish, bunnies, and even a turtle make me a highly adaptable and knowledgable sitter. Consistent communication is highly prioritized in my service as I provide updates and photos often so you can be assured of the safety and happiness of your pets. Taking care of animals including feeding, cleaning up after, bathing, and playing with them has always been a part of my routine and I have pet and house sat for a wide variety of animals. I have experience with special needs pets that require lots of attention as well as those that like to be left alone and are more solitary. A pets quality of life is extremely important to me, I can guarantee I will take great care of your companions. I am a part time student and color guard coach, which gives me the ability to have an extremely flexible schedule to check on pets as much or little as you need. I take a lot of pride in ensuring that I can create the best possible pet sitting experience for you. Respecting animals boundaries/preferences is extremely important to how I carry out pet responsibilities. People and pets alike all have different routines and needs so please do not hesitate to let me know every little detail to make this experience as positive as possible for yourself and your furry friend.

About: I have ample experience pet sitting for neighbors, family friends, and community members since I was in my early teens. I adore all animals, so I have no problems administering medication (I don’t have a weak stomach), cleaning litterboxes or crates, and will love and respect them like they are my own babies! Your peace of mind and their comfort are my top priorities. I am currently getting my Master’s degree in Social Work, so I’m looking for a nice side hustle I can devote time too while I’m not doing my fieldwork. Wednesdays and Fridays are the best days for me in terms of all-day availability, but I can certainly be flexible if needed! Though I will not be caring for pets in my own home (leasing rules), I am more than willing to respect and uphold your own personal routines for your pets. I do not have a problem crating or following whatever routines are necessary to keep them safe and happy!

About: I have had many dogs and cats over the years, starting in early childhood. They have always been a source of joy and companionship to me, true family members. I have had and trained many puppies and I am aware of the importance of good crate training and schedules! I am also versed in special needs dogs that have limited mobility and medical needs. It has been many years since I have had cats (ex husband had allergies) but they are truly amazing creatures. You always feels so honored to be given their attention! I have also had guinea pigs, rabbits, goats, birds and a horse. I am currently working part time and have lots of flexibility in timing. I am usually an early bird and don't mind visits that are earlier in the day. I do normally turn in early but can make adjustments as needed with advance planning. My typical visit includes lots and lots of attention after meeting basic toileting needs. We go outside, sniff, play catch, and they get lots of pets and scratches from me. I will make sure that food and water is available unless otherwise directed. I clean up any accidents that may have occurred. I try to make sure the dog/cat has toys or enrichment available to entertain them until their parents come home. If needed, I can pick up mail or packages and bring them inside.

About: I think a meet and greet is an important way to let me know if your pet needs anything special for their visit. I want pets to be my job. I have flexible hours to take care of your pet. If you have a senior dogs that needs to be walked by his/herself, that's no problem. They usually need to go at a slower pace so they can enjoy their walk. I can do walks or just drop in visits to be with them. I can also drop in visits for your cat, so they are not lonely. I think cats need attention & exercise while pet parents are away. I can give them playtime and keep you updated on their response. I want pets to be my job. I have flexible hours and the time to take care and play with your pups. I can also provide boarding on weekdays and/or weekends. I have no problem walking larger dogs, but I can only board dogs 20 lbs or under. (my dogs are 11 lbs and under.) I have had pets for over 30 and taking care of family, friends and neighbors pets for over 25 years. I treat your pet as if they were my own. I have a small fenced in yard and also have small dogs to keep your pup company. I am also able to crate your pup if needed. I have a dog door, but if I have to run errands the pups are safely keep inside until I return. My fur babies like to lay in the sun.

Jennifer came and met the babies before the appointment so they would know her when she came. Communication before and during the scheduled drop-in visits was amazing as well. Buu and Rari were so excited to see her each day when she arrived and she showed them each the attention they needed. The babies did have a couple accidents that she kindly cleaned up with no complaints. All directions were followed exactly and the babies were well taken care of during our absence. Will definitely be using her services again and would recommend to any one that needs help with their furry friend(s)!!!

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!

McKayla was OUTSTANDING!! I had a last minute cancellation with a sitter, and she was able to make it work for us. I got lots of pictures and my girls looked so happy. Even my dog Keera, who doesn’t do well with strangers, loved her. I hope I get to work with her again.

My Simba is picky about his friends. Sharen is now considered one of them. THAT is saying something! I could not be happier with how she took care of my fur baby while I was out of town. I'd absolutely reccomend her and she'll be my first call next time I leave town.

Jamie has been our primary drop in Pet Sitter now since we got our Keeshond puppy SHADOW back in Oct 2023. She has helped "raise him" and has always taken great care to maximize her time with him! From feeding, to walks, to cleaning up puppy accidents, to playtime,.... She has done an incredible job! And she always checks in and out via the app and posts plenty of great photos! Jamie has my highest possible recommendation and gratitude!

About: I’ve had a Cavalier King Charles for my whole life, the first one for 13 years and now my own for a year. He is my world and he gets along great with all dogs no matter size or age. I care for other dogs as if they’re my own and will always keep owners updated with pictures and/or text messages!! I have experience with giving meds, making food, feeding schedules, walking, potty breaks, etc. Let me watch your furry ones!! I’m currently in school Monday-Thursday from 7am-2pm and sometimes earlier, so weekends work better for boarding, however i’m willing to make it work. I can always pop in to walk your pup or take them out, or have them in my house! Up to you. I let my dog roam throughout the day and he does great. I always turn on a show for him:)) I have a fenced in backyard and take my dog for a walk everyday. I love taking him to the dog park as well and he would love to have a friend in the home, or I can come to yours and take care of them there!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Destin

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Destin on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 785 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Destin. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Destin stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Destin. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.
