“My boys were well taken care of with Eric. I got regular updates and photos, they got to exercise in his big backyard and got to sleep on the couches :) I was truly able to enjoy my time away, knowing that they were in good hands with Eric and his roommates. Thanks again!”
“Rachel and Cody are awesome! They made us feel very comfortable concerning the care we wanted for our Angus. I've never used Rover before and was a little worried about how it would turn out. Angus loved it and I didn't know he loved cats! Lol. Rachel and Cody are now my go to sitters! I absolutely and highly recommend them!”

Thank you for taking such great care of our sweet girl & making her part of the family while we were gone!”

About: I have spent my life with pets in the house. I have spent over 10 years caring for pets in my family and for friends. I follow instructions very well and will ensure the positive care and well-being of the animal. I am patient with senior pets while enjoy higher energy of a younger pet. I am free all day during the week and limited on the weekends. I am flexible with traveling and making several trips throughout the day. I will make sure they have been outside and used the restroom, I will keep track of their outside routine and schedule. I will make sure they have food, water, and opportunities to get some energy out. I will give them lots of attention and time. I will ensure they are safe upon arrival and leaving the home.
“Aaron was great! Sent daily updates and I could just tell my Nova girl was having the best time. I knew from our initial meet and greet Nova would be in good hands and was so happy she’d have some company. THANKS AGAIN AARON!”
“This was our first time using Rover and everything was so simple and fast. Schyrita was great and gave us updates on our fur baby. I will definitely use her again, next time we are in town.”

Naomi was great with taking care of my 8 year old Yorkie. I got frequent updates and pictures. She has her own dog park and yard that is big enough for pets to run around and have fun. I appreciated her having other dogs that would mesh with Ace to get him moving. Couple of things that I want to highlight the most are the preparation she has for multiple pets and situations along with the environment she can create to ensure any pet feels at home. 12/10 would recommend.
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🙏🏻

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Fort Walton Beach on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of August 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 465 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. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
