About: Hello! I’m a Pensacola local that recently loved back to town from California! I’m looking to meet new people and spice up my life with some regular dog playtime :). I have an orange tabby cat that I rescued, but I grew up with dogs! My family had dachshunds, pitbull mixes, & brindles! I still take care of my childhood dogs occasionally. Definitely reach out if you feel like I would be a good fit for your family’s needs! Open to all day Sunday. Open most of Saturday. Weekly schedUle varies, but open partially Monday and Fridays. Please reach out to see if I our schedules align! Hello! I am a pet owner myself and I would always want to take care of someone else’s pet the way I would except someone to take care of my cat! I grew up with animals and I see them as clear members of the family. I have my cat’s routine down, but would be happy to learn the routines of your pets!
“Melanie did an amazing job at making sure Nesme was doing fine, entertaining her and ensuring that food and water were dispensing properly. I am so grateful for her help and highly highly highly recommend her.”

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.

I will keep your pets company, take them on walks, and treat your home as if it was my own! A clean safe environment is always my top priority!
“We recently moved to Pensacola and had to find a new Rover sitter and boy did we hit the jackpot with Shannyn!!! A few days before our trip the forecast called for storms. Shannyn messaged me to ask how the animals reacted to thunder. She even offered to spend extra time at the house to comfort them. She sent great feedback during our 3 days away. We will definitely be using Shannyn again.”

I understand how important it is to provide pets with love, patience, attention, exercise, and a safe environment. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly connect with them. I honestly feel more at home around animals than anything else! I treat every dog in my care like they are part of my own family and will always make sure they feel loved, comfortable, and safe.

Your pet will never be left alone for long and will receive plenty of love, playtime, potty breaks, and attention throughout the day.

With years of experience caring for and raising dogs and puppies, I understand the importance of safety, routines, cleanliness, and giving each pet the individual attention they need. Your pet will be treated like part of my family while they are in my care.
“Tess is great! She dropped in on our dog (shepherd/husky mix), Quartz, and gave us an update with pictures. The update included a picture of my cat even though the drop-in was for Quartz. This was thoughtful of Tess ?. I recommend her and will book her again when needed.”
“10/10, great dog sitter. Had zero issues and received all the updates and pictures we wanted. Kelcie took the time to meet our dogs beforehand, handled our dogs’ medications, and was very easy to communicate with. I can’t recommend her enough other than to selfishly keep her open to provide for our own requested dates of service!!!”

Michelle was amazing! Great communicator, initiated a meet and greet prior to our booking to meet the dogs. She took initiative to make sure the dogs were clean before coming back in after it rained. Sent pictures at each visit. Michelle brought treats (she asked permission) and worked with the dogs on commands. The dogs were very calm and happy when we got home. Highly recommend Michelle!! Thank you!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Gonzalez is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,080 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Gonzalez. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Gonzalez. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters 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 sitter.
