Pet Boarding in Fort Walton Beach

“My precious dog Bailey stayed with Margaret between 8/25/25 and 8/29/25 and loved every minute of her stay! After my wife and I took Bailey out for three hours on the 27'th, Bailey was excited to see Margaret again and ran right back in her house! All in all, Margaret provided a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for Bailey and was very accommodating about my request to take Bailey to the local dog park for a few hours mid visit. She also was very easy to reach via text and texted me at least daily updates with pics. I would have no reservations about using her again!”

“Hi Eberyone, I had another really great experience with Rover and the dog sitter I chose. Barbara sent pictures and updates every single day. I didn't want to be the worry wart Mom but I guess I was. I was so relieved when I heard from her. The cool part is that the dogs met outside. Farley loved her two lttle friends right away. Never did the Mr Macho stuff he usually does around other dogs. I knew they would all get along great. I will recommend Barbara and Rover to everyone I know that boards their dogs. It was another fantastic experience. To top it off - he came home very relaxed. Which hasn't been the case at other times. Thanks again Barbara. Oh, and Rover.com for such a great experience.”

“She was absolutely amazing. Even though she doesn’t have a yard, my puppy got plenty of walks and trips to the dog park. She responded quickly to all of my questions, which I really appreciated. I also forgot to pack a bowl, but she reassured me it was fine and took care of it. She even sent lots of photos and videos of my puppy, which gave me so much peace of mind. When I picked him up, he was excited to see me but also whining because he was leaving them—that really showed me he was treated like family. I would definitely book with her again.”

“David and Krysta were so sweet to our Cooper! Communication and photos while we were away were an added bonus! We highly recommend and will plan to use them again if we are in the area!”

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.

“We had such a wonderful first experience boarding our sweet Cadiz with Alexandra! From the moment we dropped him off, we felt completely at ease knowing he was being cared for with so much love and attention. Alexandra sent detailed daily updates, adorable happy photos, and communicated so thoughtfully throughout his stay, which meant so much to us. It was clear Cadiz was truly enjoying himself, especially making best of friends with her adorable dog Apollo! 🐾 Through photos we saw that Cadiz was showered with cuddles, belly rubs, affection, and genuine care, and we could tell he felt comfortable and loved in her home. We are beyond grateful for the kindness and attentiveness she showed him. We will absolutely continue using Alexandra for future dog sitting and boarding, and highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, loving, and communicative to care for their pup. Thank you again, Alexandra! 🤍”

About: I give every dog the same care and attention as if they were my own. I'm experienced with all breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. I'm patient, observant, and great at following routines. I'm especially comfortable with puppies and senior dogs. I also provide regular photo and text updates so pet parents feel at ease while they’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, especially on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays, when I have the flexibility to dedicate quality time to walks, play, feeding, and companionship. I plan my day around the pets I’m caring for to ensure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection—not just quick check-ins. Your dog will never feel rushed or overlooked. I currently have a Goldendoodle, so I understand the importance of consistency, positive reinforcement, and a calm environment. In my home, dogs are treated like family—safe, supervised, and given plenty of love, playtime, and structured walks. I maintain a clean space and follow each dog’s individual routine closely. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow instructions carefully to keep pets comfortable and stress-free in their familiar environment. Also, my apartment has a dog park.

“Erik totally exceeded my expectations in every way. When I saw how happy and just overall well kept my dog hootie was when I came to pick him up , I knew I made the best decision on who to pick to take care of my dog. Erik too my dog hootie out for long walks everyday, which is one of my dogs favorite activities besides playing, or fetching tree branches. Overall, I can honestly say that Erik provided my dog the best care. I wish I had baby sitters for my kids when they were young that would have been as great as Erik was with my dog. My big 185 lb Boy Hootie even looked like he went to the groomer’s when I picked him up. Erik really showed me that he really has that love for animals and I’m so happy we were able to experience such great care for my mastiff. I would definitely recommend Erik, especially if you have trust issues. Erik definitely knocked down that wall of “fear” I had with leaving my dog with anyone. Such a super great , respectful young man. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would give Erik 10+ ⭐️ ‘s . I will definitely be utilizing his services again.”

“Vanessa was a godsend. We was looking for somewhere to put our puppy last minute when we ran across the Rover app. We liked Vanessa's profile and decided to go with her. We are so glad that we did. She was very helpful as this was our first time leaving our baby. She sent plenty of pictures and videos. She was very understanding when our puppy had accidents. We could tell our little girl had a blast while she was there with her. On a scale of 1 to 10 Vanessa is an 11!”
