“Barbara took great care of my 3 dogs, she sent great updates too and was very responsive to all communication! Even worked with me regarding drop off time as I got held up at work! Thanks Barbara”

About: Two family dogs when growing up. I have pet sat cats, birds, rabbits, and guinea pigs. If you have chickens or small to medium farm animals, I’d love the opportunity to care for them as well. I love and care for your pets like they are my own. We can play, walk, and chill. I am attentive to needs and will make sure they are fed, walked, clean and use the potty as needed. My daughter and I live in a house with a spacious back yard with an enclosed patio. As for clients homes, whatever is requested of me by the client, I will give 100% to make sure you, your fur baby and your home are taken care of. I work full time. I am available on weekdays after 6pm and all weekends and holidays as I do not travel much. I am very much a home body. My daughter and love to walk and bike. I will love your pet and follow any guidance you give me. My home is clean and pet friendly. I also have a spare bedroom if needed. I have a spacious, fenced in backyard and a covered patio—really good for pets to stretch out, play and nap. My neighborhood is friendly and walkable. I am always very respectful of my client’s homes and will follow any requests. I want your pets to feel at home or comfortable in your home while you’re enjoying your time away. Be stress free.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve cared for pets since my teenage years and have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from small companion breeds to large German Shepherds. I’m currently the proud dog mom of Neptune, our 7-year-old Pomsky, and two rescued shelter cats from Louisiana. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal with patience, attention, and genuine care. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule, which allows me plenty of time to give your pets attention, playtime, walks, and care throughout the day. My husband also works remotely part-time from home, so there is usually someone home during the day. Our teenage daughter is home for the summer as well, meaning your pets will receive lots of love, attention, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We recently added a fenced 0.34-acre yard with plenty of room for supervised outdoor play and exercise. Our home is calm, family-oriented, and full of animal lovers, with multiple people available to give attention and care. I’m experienced with dogs of many sizes and personalities and will always follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.
“Sariah replies promptly to communication and took great care of our Marty. He had so much fun playing with the other dogs! Sariah was also great about sending photos and videos of Marty during his stay so that I knew he was having a great time. I would book with Sariah again in a heartbeat! (And I’m pretty sure Marty would go play at her house every day if he could).”
“My husband and I were so happy to have found this very sweet family to take care of our Rosie! They definitely made our medical trip much easier knowing she was loved and well taken care of.”
“We were so thankful to have found Vanessa to watch our dog in her home. She has a strong background working with animals and it shows in the approach to her care. She made sure our dog was a good fit for their household & put me at ease before heading out of town. Vanessa is a great communicator and her family is extremely accommodating. Thank you for taking such great care of our sweet girl & making her part of the family while we were gone!”
“Erik was awesome! Very flexible with picking up and dropping off my dog. He has a big backyard and sent photo updates. Overall wonderful experience. Will definitely schedule with him next time I’m in the area.”
“This is by far the only place we will take Makko!! They love him like their own💜 Makko does not even say bye to us anymore. Straight to their front door looking for his friends!! Love this”
“Chloe was amazing! I was worried about leaving our puppy for the first time, but Chloe made the process so much easier. She is attentive, responsible, and caring and we will most definitely use her in the future. Champ loved his time at Chloe’s!!”
“Tyeshia was super nice and caring with Baldr. He had a splendid time relaxing with her family, being in a calm household and daily walks is Baldr's favorite past times. We will definitely be seeking her service again when we go away. Thank you Ty”

Jordan took great care of Uno! She was attentive to his ears after a recent groom and kept me updated, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Uno came home happy and well cared for. I would definitely recommend Jordan to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!
We had a great experience! She took excellent care of our dogs, kept us updated, and made us feel completely comfortable while we were away. Our dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly received plenty of attention. We would absolutely trust her with them again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.
Kalvin was great with our two dogs. We felt very comfortable with him watching our dogs as he kept us updated throughout. He kept to their walk routine and overall made it easy for them to transition to some else’s home for a whole week. We will definitely be booking with Kalvin again!
Sheila was lovely and it was obvious her love for pets. She asked clarifying question regarding meal protocols/ allergy treatment etc. She demonstrated her care and concern for Bodhi and Little Sister and communicated daily. I could tell they were at ease. I greatly appreciate her going above and beyond supporting both me and them while scouting for a new home out of state. Thank you Mzzzzzz Sheila🙏🏻
We had an amazing experience with our dog sitter! She took incredible care of our dog, treated her like family, played with her constantly, and made sure she was happy and comfortable the entire time. We especially appreciated all the photo and video updates — it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can truly tell she cares about animals and goes above and beyond. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and caring. Definitely a 5-star experience!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Fort Walton Beach on Rover is $37.74 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Boarding 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 Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 467 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Fort Walton Beach. About 90% of Fort Walton Beach sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
