“Noah was awesome! Kind to my furbabies, no complaints from them- 2 paws up. Noah was quick at responding and ready to go on short notice for us. This was our first time using Rover; I'm glad I found Noah when needed. We'll be using him again when the time comes.”

“Sam was absolutely wonderful with my two Sharpei dogs. They are very much personality wise within the breed characteristics and are suspicious by nature and very shy. Sam knows his animals and did a fantastic job with working with them to make them comfortable. He stayed with them and made sure they were comfortable and came and let them out on his lunchbreak the day we were arriving home so they were not alone all day. He went above and beyond taking care of them. One is a pup with a bit of separation anxiety as I work from home so they are not alone often at all. I will definitely use Sam again for my pets needs. This was so much better of an experience for them than being kenneled somewhere and they would have been scared and lonely. Thank you Sam for everything and I will be recommending Rover to all my friends. It was great to get the updates daily to know that my babies were doing ok. Fantastic experience.”


About: Kind, caring, responsible adult with experience caring for various animals and/Or houses. Very professional and clean sitter looking for opportunities to work with similar clients. I am newly retired from 9-5 work and I have a flexible schedule that allows for me to spend time loving on your pets. I can accommodate any schedule or needs that you have for your pet, in your home. I prefer small to medium pets but am open to any pets that are easy to care for
“We have met Kari twice now and this is the first time we left her with our dog Lucy. We had a positive experience with her. She is always on time and was nice to us and accommodating. My dog seems to really like her and she was able to follow care instructions for my dog. We would like to continue to use Kari; as a matter of fact we already booked her services again.”

“Julissa was fantastic. She sent many updates and pictures of my dogs. She not only cared for them and made them comfortable, she made sure my mind was at ease. Very experienced and kind sitter”

“Samantha was an amazing dog/house sitter! She even stayed when the hurricane hit pensacola and made me feel comfortable leaving my dogs with her. Great communicator and will definitely book in the future!”

“500 stars!! Lisa was great while we were Away for an extended period. Dogs and kitty well taken care of, house well taken care of and she went above and beyond and was very thoughtful. We appreciated it so much!”

About: More Than Just a Walk — Personalized Care for Your Pup! 🐾 Hi! I’m Abby, a passionate and experienced pet caregiver serving the Pensacola area! With a background working in a doggy daycare and hands-on experience providing private dog walking and pet sitting services, I’ve learned that every dog has their own personality, needs, and routine. While I may be new to Rover, I’m definitely not new to pet care! I’ve had the opportunity to care for dogs from multiple local families and already have additional pet sitting bookings scheduled for later this year. I’m excited to bring that same trusted, personalized care to families here on Rover! What makes my care different? 🐾 Experience with all kinds of personalities: My doggy daycare background has given me experience working with dogs of different sizes, energy levels, and temperaments. Whether your pup is playful and energetic or prefers a slower, more relaxed pace, I’ll make sure they’re comfortable and happy. 🦴 Walks tailored to YOUR dog: I don’t believe every dog needs the same walk! Whether yours loves exploring, sniffing every tree, or simply enjoying some fresh air, I’ll adjust our walks to fit their needs and comfort level. 🏡 Keeping your pet’s routine consistent: I provide pet sitting and drop-in visits in your home, where your pets are already comfortable. I understand how important feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and familiar routines are while you’re away. 📸 Updates you can count on: I know leaving your pets with someone else can be stressful! I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident that your furry family members are being well cared for. 💕 Building relationships, not just bookings: My goal isn’t simply to complete a walk or visit. I want to become someone your dog gets excited to see and someone your family feels comfortable booking again and again! I understand that trusting someone new with your pets is a big decision, which is why I’m always happy to schedule a meet and greet before booking. Whether you’re looking for a regular dog walker, occasional drop-in visits, or dependable pet sitting while you’re away, I’d love to become part of your pet’s routine! Your pets deserve more than basic care — they deserve someone who treats them like family. 🐶🤎 I have a flexible schedule and am available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the week. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and can usually accommodate different times with advance notice. I’ll always communicate with you ahead of time to make sure the timing works and that your pet gets the care and attention they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have experience working with dogs in a daycare setting, as well as caring for my own dogs and cats, so I understand how important it is to pay attention to each pet’s personality, routine, and needs. I’m careful about doors, leashes, feeding instructions, and anything else you leave for me to know. I’ll treat your home and your pets with respect and keep you updated during visits so you know how your furry family member is doing.
“Jessica was an incredible pet and house sitter! She took such wonderful care of Shadow, and it was obvious that she was happy and well loved while we were away. Jessica kept us updated, gave us complete peace of mind, and left our home spotless. We are so grateful for the excellent care she provided and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter. We would happily have Jessica watch Shadow again!”

About: I’ve raised multiple dogs and can’t get enough of them! I have two well-behaved dogs of my own that are 8 and 1 years old and very friendly with other dogs! I truly love treating all pets as my own! I have also grown up with cats which I love but don’t personally own at the moment! All pets are welcome and will be constantly loved on! I am currently a stay-at-home mom with extra time on my hands! My day-to-day is typically staying home and playing with my current 2 dogs as well as my 3 year old daughter. I have a fenced in yard and two well-behaved Labrador’s. One of them is 8 and one is 1 so I can accommodate for whatever age your pet is! My youngest is still crate trained so I am also familiar with crate training dogs if that’s needed.
About: I am an experienced pet sitter with a relaxed style. I love all animals as if they were my own and devoted attentive care to your fur babies. I have 4 fur babies at home app with separate needs so medications and routines are not daunting to me at all. The more information owners give me the better! By working closely with my clients I am able to ensure that their pets get the care they need. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask! I am a stay at home mother which gives me free rein over my schedule! If your pets are not child friendly then that’s ok! I can schedule care so there is no child-pet interaction. I treat every pet like they are my own. They’re greeted with love and excitement and given every bit of my attention. All instructions will be followed explicitly and daily updates will be given.
“Matt is an incredibly kind and caring soul. He went above and beyond our expectations for a home/dog sitter. He was extremely communicative and accommodating. I would highly recommend him for anyone looking for a home or pet sitter. We will definitely book with him again in the future!”


About: I have been around dogs since I was in diapers, that's where my love of all things furry started! I can make sure they're fed and watered but the real fun is the playing and going for walks. I can also do training if they're is anything you want to work on with your pup. I have experience with senior dogs as well and I can give medications if needed. If your pup has any special needs please let me know and I will do my best to make sure they are well taken care of while you're away. I am currently job free so there is plenty of time for me to play and care for your pups! I am available for short stays but longer stays I will have to break the visit up so I can care for my babies at home, this break would be a mid day break only up to about 4 hours. I currently can not care for your babies in my own home since I don't have a yard or a safe outdoor area for them to play in as well as having two cats who have never met a dog. I prefer to play on the safe side when it comes to your pups and not take any risks I don't have to. I am available for in (your) home sitting though and will have no problem getting there.
“Loarann was amazing!! This was my first time using in-home boarding so I was nervous but she was so sweet and so communicative. I never once had to worry or wonder what was going on which is huge for when you go on a trip that’s stressful enough! I honestly think she left the place better than she found it and was so kind about my house being kind of a sight these days because of renovations. She seems to truly love animals and I will 100% use her again in the future, no question.”

About: Retired law enforcement officer. Dogs have been part of my life for over 25 years, and I’m currently the proud dog mom of a lovable 2-year-old Goldendoodle. While I’m new to professional pet sitting, caring for dogs is definitely not new to me! As a retired law-enforcement professional, I understand the importance of being dependable, trustworthy, attentive, and responsible, especially when someone is trusting me with a member of their family. I’m patient, active, personable, and comfortable adapting to each dog’s individual personality, routine, and needs. I’m looking forward to turning my genuine love for dogs into a rewarding side job doing something that brings me joy. Whether your pup needs walks, playtime, companionship, feeding, or simply some extra love and attention while you’re away, my goal is to help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also have a 12-year-old son who lives with me every other week and absolutely loves dogs, so if your dog enjoys children, they’ll have another friendly companion around during those weeks. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care. I’ll treat yours with the same patience, attention, and affection I’d want someone to give my own. I’m retired with a very flexible schedule, allowing me to easily accommodate your pet’s routine. I’m available for walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and plenty of personalized attention throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. I live in a spacious two-bedroom apartment with a secure patio and plenty of room to relax. Our community has two gated dog parks and spacious walking paths for exercise, playtime, and fresh air. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and provide plenty of attention, affection, and supervision so they feel safe and right at home. 🐾❤️
About: Experienced with both dogs and cats, including shy, high-energy, and senior pets. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, meds, crate training, litter care, long walks, and giving animals the calm, loving attention they need to feel safe. Your pet’s comfort and routine are always my priority. As someone who works from home, I can easily adjust my schedule to match your cat/dogs routines. I’m available throughout the day for feeding, litter changes, walks, playtime, or just quiet company, and I make sure their care never feels rushed! I will make sure your pets stay on their normal schedule: meals at their usual time, regular walks for dogs, clean litter boxes for cats, and plenty of attention tailored to each pet’s personality. I move slowly with shy animals, keep playtime positive, and create a calm, stress-free atmosphere in your home.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gonzalez
I cannot say enough amazing things about Chelbi. She provided me so much reassurance and took such good care of my boys. One of my babies requires lots of medications and she was on top of everything. I have never felt so at ease with a dog sitter. Our babies were beyond happy when we got home and I can tell they were cared for so well!!!! You will not regret hiring Chelbi!!!!

Maghen is a phenomenal and caring sitter. She was professional, kind, and communicative from the very first message. This was our first time leaving our dogs for the weekend, and Maghen made us feel secure in the fact that they were being well cared for. She sent lots of photos and consistently checked in. You can tell she really loves animals and was an overall joy to have around. Our dogs loved her, so we will definitely be booking with her again in the future. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter. Thank you Maghen for everything...you really exceeded our expectations!

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 Gonzalez 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 Gonzalez 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 Gonzalez 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.
