About: I offer a calm, clean, and supervised home environment for boarding. My fully fenced backyard provides a safe space for potty breaks and outdoor play, and the covered screened patio gives pets a comfortable place to enjoy fresh air while staying protected from the weather and insects. I also have a quiet dining room that can be sectioned off for pets who need their own comfortable, low-stimulation area. I follow each pet’s normal feeding, exercise, medication, and care routine as closely as possible. I work full time and my available days do change at times. I would love to talk to you and see if my schedule works with yours. On the weekends I typically stay home. I have a chihuahua mix. I do have a fenced in backyard. I also walk client's dogs around the neighborhood and nearby dog friendly parks.

“She has done outstanding work with my two dogs. One is extremely difficult and almost impossible for any strangers to get near, let alone get a leash on and take her for a walk. Rebecca was able to get her on a leash, take her for walks, and even pick her up, all within a few days! I was extremely desperate to find a dog walker for when I’m at work. She has by far exceeded my expectations, and I don’t know what I would’ve done without her.”

About: Hi there! I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. From energetic puppies to senior pets who just want a calm companion, I truly enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality and needs. For the past 7 years, I’ve worked as a professional animal trainer with marine mammals—so patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement are at the core of everything I do. I bring that same thoughtful, reward-based approach to working with dogs and other pets. I currently have a small Pomeranian mix of my own, so I understand just how important it is to trust someone with your four-legged family member. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and well-being are always my top priorities—and I’ll care for them just like they’re part of my own family. Pet care fits easily into my routine alongside my 9–5 schedule. I’m available for morning and evening visits during the week, and I’m fully available on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for more flexible care. I’m careful to only accept bookings I can fully commit to, so every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. I tailor my care to each pet’s routine and comfort level, whether in my home or yours. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and preferred routines. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and a calm, safe environment. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and work to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. My goal is always to keep your pet happy, stress-free, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I've always had pets growing up from turtles, fish, ferrets and cats and dogs! I have watched several of my friends and family pets. I am currently working from home 40 hours a week and can host a dog or 2 depending on size for daycare/boarding. I am also available for morning and evening check-ins and walks! I do work from home so your babies can come hang out with me and my puppers during the work day and play out all their energy! I do have a 1.5 yr old golden doodle who loves to play and stays home with me now that I work from home. We love to go on walks or go to the park.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over six years, and spending so much time around animals has taught me that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and way of communicating. My experience includes caring for dogs both in Colombia and in the U.S., as well as cats, so I’m comfortable with different temperaments and daily care needs. I’m patient, dependable, and always focused on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I know how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, so I treat every pet with the same kindness, respect, and attention I would expect for my own. Whether it’s sticking to their routine, going on walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care every visit. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to be available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and last-minute bookings. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine to make sure they receive the care and attention they need. I provide attentive, reliable care in the client’s home to help pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box cleaning, playtime, and any special care needs such as medications or senior support. I focus on creating a calm and safe environment while owners are away, making sure pets feel secure, loved, and well cared for. I also keep owners updated as needed so they have peace of mind during every visit.

About: I have worked as a kennel tech for dog daycare and took care of multiple dogs with different personalities. I’ve also pet sat cats and dogs for family friends. I typically work 4-5 days a week and work to integrate your pet needs into my schedule so that they’re taken care of while you’re away At a clients home I like to go over any safety precautions and routines so I can stick to what your pet is familiar with while I’m there.

About: Hi! I have always been surrounded with all kinds of pets, ever since I can remember. I was always the one to take on more responsibility than my siblings for our family pets, and started sitting when I was 16! From feeding and walking, to administering medication and bathing.. I can do it all and take care of your pets as if they were my own! I work regular office hours, with an hour lunch in the middle of the day which I can use to come care for your furry babies! I am excited to give your pets the best care in the space that is the most comfortable for them! They get to stay at home or walked around the neighborhood, meaning less stress for your little pal

About: Hi, I’m Jennifer! Animals have always been at the center of my life. I grew up in rural Pennsylvania surrounded by the Amish community, where caring for animals, from cows and goats to dogs and cats, was simply part of daily life. That early experience shaped my respect for animals of all kinds and gave me a lifelong passion for their care. Today, I’m proud to be both a certified yoga instructor and a devoted pet mom to three wonderful dogs and several cats. I bring the same patience, energy, and mindfulness from my yoga practice into how I care for animals. Over the past 20 years, I’ve gained extensive experience with dogs and cats of all ages, but I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs and cats. From gentle walks to providing comfort and administering medications, I understand the extra attention and compassion they need in their golden years. Whether your pet needs an energetic play session, a calming stroll, or specialized senior care, I adapt to their unique personality and routines. I am flexible, reliable, and committed to making your life easier while giving your pet the very best care. You can relax knowing your four-legged family member is in good hands. I treat every pet like my own, because I know how much trust it takes to leave your fur-baby in someone else’s care. Walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, litter box cleaning, or simply keeping them company, I make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. No task is too big or too small.

About: While professional dog walking for others is new for me, caring for dogs is not. I was lucky to spend 14 amazing years with my own dog, who was truly my soul dog and taught me so much about patience, attentiveness, routine, and unconditional love. After recently stepping away from my corporate career to slow down and focus on things that genuinely bring me joy - spending time with dogs, being active outdoors, creating meaningful connections. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I would care for them with the same kindness, attention, and love I gave my own. Whether your furry friend loves long walks, playtime, or simply companionship, I'm excited to provide a safe, fun and loving experience for them. Because I've recently stepped away from a corporate career I am flexible with my time, which allows me the ability to care for your furry friend. Dog walking is the perfect fit for this season of life because it combines my love for dogs, being active outdoors, and building meaningful connections in my community. You can expect dependable communication, punctuality, lots of love and attention for your pup, and someone who will care for them as if they were my own. At this time, I’m focusing exclusively on dog walking so I can provide the best possible experience and attention to each pup I care for. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I will make sure they are securely leashed, closely supervised, walked in safe areas, and cared for according to your instructions and their individual needs. Whether your dog enjoys energetic walks or a slower pace, you can expect dependable care, patience, and lots of love every step of the way.

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Throughout my life I’ve cared for dogs, cats, fish, and even a frog, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and needs. I also worked at a doggy daycare and boarding facility in Alaska (The Hound Lounge) for almost 2.5 years, where I handled feeding, water, medications, enrichment, photos for owners, and making sure every pup had plenty of playtime, comfort, and attention. I currently have two dogs of my own, one of which has IVDD and I care for from giving medication to expressing her bladder and colon and the other of which I walk daily. I’ve worked with pups of all sizes — from tiny Yorkies to giant St. Bernards. If you’re looking for someone confident, reliable, and comfortable with all dogs (and happy to care for cats, too!), I’ve got you covered. I currently am a stay at home dog mom and am caring for my dog who has IVDD and is paralyzed in her back legs. Because of that, I’m most available for check-ins or daily walks, along with occasional overnight care when I have advance notice. This helps me plan ahead and make sure I can give your pets my full attention. As I build my client base, my goal is to transition to full-time pet care and open up even more flexible availability for all of my clients. I always ask pet parents to leave detailed instructions on how they’d like their furry friends cared for while they’re away. This can include anything from walk lengths, feeding amounts, and medication schedules to whether they need a leash in the backyard, are allowed to roam freely, or prefer a crate during the day or night. I also ask where they sleep—whether that’s in their own bed, on the couch, or cuddled up next to me (which I’m totally fine with!). I always follow the pet parent’s instructions closely, and if no specific directions are provided, I will use my best judgment to ensure their pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Fort Walton Beach on Rover is $17 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $26 per walk. walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 924 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Fort Walton Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Fort Walton Beach. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Fort Walton Beach after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 walker 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fort Walton Beach. On Rover:

  • 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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 walker.
