About: I have been around and caring for dogs my entire life. Dogs have always been an important part of my family, and I understand how much they mean to their owners. Over the years, I have gained experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I know that every dog is different, and I take the time to get to know each one and make them feel comfortable and at home. I provide a safe, loving environment with plenty of attention, care, and companionship. When your dog stays with me, you can feel confident knowing they will be treated like a member of the family and cared for with the same love and attention I would want for my own dog. My wife and I are both retired, so we are home most of the day and night. Your dog will have plenty of companionship and won't be left alone for long periods. We treat every dog like part of the family and will follow their normal routine, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special needs. Your dog will stay in a clean, comfortable home with a secure, fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time and play. I take the time to learn each dog's personality, routine, and needs so they feel comfortable and secure. Your pet's safety and well-being are always my top priority.
About: I am a dog lover and have volunteered for a local dog rescue for years. I have one dog of my own who loves to play with others. I recently started to dog sit so that she can have play dates. I treat all visitors like my own and can provide lots of good references. I work full time locally 8a-430p but my husband is home during the day and we work as a team. Our dog(s) are our priority and all visitors are treated like our own. We have a 6' privacy fence and a doggie door for play time and a nice cozy house with all the dog stuff for them to hang out in and relax. There are lots of toys and treats to share.
“Shep had the best stay with Liznel. He was so pampered by her and her family. Seriously, I don’t think Shep wanted to come back home😂 he got lots of playtime with her pup and lots of walks not to mention all the cuddles. We got lots of pictures and updates. We highly recommend Liznel and wont hesitate to reach out to her again. Much thanks!”
“Carla took great care of our 2 dogs for 2 weeks. For one of them it was their first time away from us so we were a little bit nervous, but she had a great time. Carla is very sweet and thoughtful and created a very calm and loving atmosphere for our dogs. They both took to her immediately. We received pictures, videos and updates multiple times a day and we felt very confident they were being loved. We will definitely take our dogs to Carla next time and your dogs will be missing out if you don’t! Thank you so much Carla!❤️”
“Mary is top notch! She took my sweet Zoe the week of thanksgiving when we had to leave on a last minute trip. Constantly kept me updated with photos of our sweet baby. I would recommend Mary to all my friends. Mary made me feel so comfortable. It was as if I left Zoe with family. I will absolutely be using her anytime I need a sitter in the future! Triple A score for sure!!!!”
“Tammy was awesome. I needed a sitter very last minute and she was more than willing to accommodate me and my little guy. I know Miko got lots of playtime because he was happy and exhausted when he came home. I would definitely have Tammy watch Miko again!”
“I can say honestly hands down Emili was the best. I’ve never had to leave lax with anyone , so when this trip came up , I needed someone I could trust explicitly. I met Emili with Lax one afternoon and he definitely liked her as well as I did. She took notes about lax ( habits, eating schedules , vet and was very thorough with anll her questions . She went over hs medications and kept me abreast of all that he was doing . I so appreciated the pics and check ins as it made the trip much easier . I knowing he was so well taken care of . I would definitely use Emili again .”
About: I used to work at healthy pet and enjoyed it very much. I’ve loved being around animals since I was a young girl. I’ve grown up with pets my whole life. My mom was a veterinarian and would always bring home animals. I’ve grown up with over 20 animals in my home. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play and hang out out with your doggies. I will always make time for your animals because they become a priority to me. I live in a home with a fenced backyard and multiple crates big or small. Your pup will have plenty of space to run around. I’ve got lots of toys for them.
“Emma had a fantastic stay! Dawn treated her just like her own. She was right at home and we appreciated the peace of mind. We would 1000% use Dawn again. We will continue to recommend her to everyone we know. Thank you so much for all of your help while we were away!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Eglin Air Force Base
Had a chance to meet Dakota and her husband before the actual dog sitting. They were both just really nice and kind people and met me totally on their time. Drop off and pick up was seamless. Dakota sent me pictures daily with feedback about the day. My dog Skyler came home happy and not bursting with energy which told me she received a lot of attention. From the sounds of it she had a great time playing with the kids. I will definitely use Dakota again.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Eglin Air Force Base can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Eglin Air Force Base home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Eglin Air Force Base.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Eglin Air Force Base. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
You and your Eglin Air Force Base sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
