“Ashlee is amazing! This is the second time we have hired her to watch our animals and I couldn’t be happier. She sent regular updates and I knew my pets were happy with her being with them. We will continue to ask Ashlee to stay with them.”
“This was my second time entrusting my dog to Giselle, and once again, she went above and beyond. Daily updates with adorable photos and videos gave me peace of mind while I was away and my pup was happy and healthy upon my return, which speaks volumes about the love and attention she received. Highly recommend Giselle services to any pet parent seeking top-notch care!”
“We loved Christine! This is our first time using ROVER for pet sitting. Christine was easy to communicate with. She responded right away and kept us updated. We had some change in our plans and Christine was flexible to adjust with us. Most importantly my puppy loved her! You can tell when someone is a good person by your pets reaction to them. She was proactive in following my pet's feeding and care plan. We definitely will ask her to come, again!”
“Amber showed up early and seemed to care / listen to our directions and concerns. She sent photo updates and took the dogs on a long walk, which they enjoyed! We appreciated her responsible nature and seemed genuinely kind to the dogs. We recommend her to everyone looking for a reliable person.”
“Jacob was amazing with Pua! I would say he went above and beyond in taking care of her and making sure that she had everything she needed. He was very attentive to her needs and was easily accessible.”
“This was the first time we had left Honey, our 7 month old puppy! We were nervous of course but Hack made things really easy for us and Honey loved him. We got pictures and updates daily that really put our minds at ease. He even let us pick Honey up in the middle of the night…..so accommodating. Will definitely use him again! Thank you Hack for everything.”
“Absolutely wonderful experience start to finish. Highly recommend. Our dogs were not stressed at all, and communication was smooth. Really appreciate such genuine caring!”
About: I've owned dogs my whole life and have become skilled in caring for pets. I currently have a Golden Retriever named Charlie and would love to have doggy friends to visit! I have cared for many types of dogs during my life and have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperments. I work everyday with nine hour work days (7am to 4pm) Monday through Thursday, with an eight hour day (7am to 3pm) on every other Friday giving me a free day every other week. I make time every morning and evening to take our dog Charlie on a walk. I make sure they get daily exercise letting them go for walks and I also have a small fenced in backyard. When I am home I will provide them with playtime l as well. I will provide scheduled feedings or space for free feeding dogs as well.
“Jessica will be our go-to dog sitter! We recently moved and I dreaded finding someone new. I reached out to several sitters on Rover and decided on Jessica…so glad I did! We were gone for several days and she sent us daily pics/updates and she took him for walks every day. We came home to a happy Ollie and clean home! You can tell she truly loves dogs and is very responsible. Thank you, Jessica!”
“did an amazing job with our cats! my husband and i are very protective of our cats and not once did we worry about them potentially not being ok. they send lots of pics everyday and genuinely care about your animals! they are very good at responding to texts quickly and will provide whatever you need to make you feel comfortable with them being with your pet :). 10/10 would use again.”
About: I love 🐕 🐶 . We foster a lot. It's nice to get all the unconditional love from our precious pets. Dogs are man's best friend I'm a stay at home mom. I have a husband and 8yo twins living in our home. I am a great caregiver. I love what do I have a fenced yard and 2 of my own medium size rescue dogs. I am very responsible and caring for my clients and their furbabies.
“Megan is AMAZING! She was 110% responsible and loving with my 2 dogs and in my home. When I returned from my trip my dogs were so relaxed, I've never seen them so content.....ever, after being gone. She walked them everyday and sent pics of them walking and later snuggling. Truly one in a million she is!”
“Scout watched my pup for almost two weeks. The house was kept in immaculate condition and she took such good care of my girl and made for the most relaxing trip. Went above and beyond with keeping in touch and sending me pictures.”
About: Hey there! I’m LeeAnn 🙃 I’m here to help with your cutest, cuddly kitty and sweetest pupper needs! Whether I’m popping in for potty breaks, a quick stroll or making sure Whiskers can’t see there’s an empty spot in the food bowl (Cat parents, am I right?) Honestly I’m looking for something that allows the ability to create my own “flexible” schedule and be more present for my kiddos..the less furrier ones, although they act like wild animals! 🤪 I follow the instructions of the owners requests! In the summertime I am very mindful of the heat* I take a lot of shorter walks for the safety of myself and the dog - I want them to get their energy out but also don’t want the hot pavement burning their paws and/or a heat stroke for the animal nor myself. A lot of inside play consist of toy play! But again, I’m always going to be mindful of owner requests/demands
About: I am super friendly and responsible, and I have experience dog sitting and interacting with dogs. My family has two poodle mixes and growing up my neighbors had dogs as well that I would house and dog sit for! I love to spend time outside and with dogs! I am an athlete as well, so if your dog needs some extra exercise I frequently run and play any type of sports! My backyard is very spacious with lots of room to run and play. I have my own car and a very flexible schedule so please feel free to contact me! I work a flexible day job and I’m usually free in the evening and early mornings! Weekends are open as well! Let me know what routine you are looking for! I will tailor to your needs for you and your pet! If they need to be walked, fed, or just a friend for the day I can make it happen!
About: I have been pet sitting since I was 15! I took a break while I was getting my masters degree abroad and although now I am back working a full-time job in HR I still miss having a furry friend around. I grew up with my family fostering many dogs throughout the years and we are all dog lovers. I have experience volunteering with rescue animals such as horses, lizards, cats, and dogs. Additionally, I just started volunteering at the Alaqua rescue! I work in human resources and recently graduated with my masters, which I got in Ireland this year. I work a 980 schedule and I am off every other Friday and work from home on my on Friday. Although I do not care for pets in my home I have had years of experience building strong relationships with my clients by providing consistent and reliable service in their homes.
About: I have taken care of dogs, trained and loved them since early childhood and will ensure they are given the best care. Their safety is my top priority. I’m currently working part time and my work schedule can be adjusted to fit your needs. Available all evenings for overnight sitting and available on weekends. I’m interested in a dog sitting job that requires me to stay at your home overnight so that your dog feels comfortable and not out of their element.
About: Compassionate, dependable pet care tailored to every animal’s unique personality, routine, and needs. I provide attentive companionship, thoughtful updates, and respectful care for cats, dogs, and other beloved pets, helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My schedule is flexible, and I’m available for overnight pet and house sitting throughout Santa Rosa Beach and along 30A. I’m also willing to travel for the right booking. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I organize my schedule around the needs of the pets and households I care for. I’m a published author currently working on my next book, so I value quiet time, peaceful surroundings, and the companionship of fur companions. For overnight bookings, I stay in the client’s home through the night and follow the care plan we agree upon. In addition to writing and pet sitting, I am a Sound Alchemist, Sound Practitioner, Sound Journey Facilitator, Vibrational Resonance Guide, and Sonic Meditation Facilitator. Through sound, vibration, mindfulness, and immersive listening experiences, I create peaceful, grounding environments while avoiding clinical or medical claims. These practices complement my love of quiet time and my appreciation for calm, attentive companionship. I am also capable of watering plants, collecting mail, and bringing in delivered packages while you are away. I’m happy to help maintain a lived-in appearance and care for these household details according to your instructions. I leave pets alone only according to each pet parent’s guidelines, since every pet and household has different needs and routines. Before accepting a booking, we’ll discuss your expectations, your pet’s routine, exercise needs, daytime care, medication requirements, and the amount of time your pets can comfortably be left alone. Clear communication in advance helps ensure that my availability is a good fit. As a quiet, non-smoker who deeply respects your privacy and property, I treat your home with the utmost care and cleanliness. I am fully comfortable managing home security systems and maintaining your daily household routines while you are away. I provide overnight care in the client’s home so pets can remain in familiar surroundings and follow their usual routines. I treat each home, its belongings, plants, mail, packages, and the family’s privacy with care and respect. I am attentive to instructions and pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, comfort, and needs. My experience with cats, horses, German Shepherds, Alaskan Malamutes, Siberian Huskies, and farm animals has taught me that every animal has a unique personality and requires patience, consistency, and individualized care. I also cared for my beloved cat, Sterling, for more than 22 years. These experiences have strengthened my sense of responsibility and helped me recognize subtle changes in an animal’s behavior or well-being. I welcome a meet-and-greet before each booking so you and your pet can get to know me, review instructions, and feel confident about the care plan. I provide regular photos and updates while you are away so you can stay connected and reassured. Staying overnight also provides companionship for your pets and helps your home appear occupied.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Eglin Air Force Base
Laura came through for me at the very last minute. My original sitter for the pets couldn’t make it. She was able to watch our dogs with not a lot of notification. I’m very thankful. She did a great job with communication and I would definitely recommend. Our dogs seemed to take to her immediately!
Elizabeth went above and beyond to look after my pet and house sit. She spoiled my dog with an abundance of walks and treats and cleaned my house before she left. She left it in better condition than when she got there. Even to the point of folding the toilet paper.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 464 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Eglin Air Force Base. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Eglin Air Force Base walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Eglin Air Force Base maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Eglin Air Force Base choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 , 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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
