“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.”
“Joy was amazing with Banner! I’m so glad we found her during our stay, she has made our trip worry free. I will definitely keep Joy in mind next time we come to town. If you’re looking for someone reliable and who will treat your pup like her own, Joy is the best sitter for you!!”
“Kate was so great with Bones! She was super sweet, kept me updated while I was gone, and took such good care of him. I felt totally comfortable leaving him with her, and he was so happy when I got back! He definitely loved hanging out with her, and I’ll be using her again!”
About: I have had dogs all my life and always as a puppy from birth. From Shih Tzus, to labs, and most recently a Great Dane, I have helped train, raise, and keep all sizes. I do work full time, but typically wrap up my day by 3 and every day. I work in east hill and live near downtown. Afternoon/evening/nights are wide open for walks and play time and house checks. Depending on the age and breed of the dog, I like neighborhood walks or easy trail runs. Happy to go to a park or stay in the yard for some fetch or tug of war. Can clean up the yard, water, feed and leave the pet however the client prefers (gated, caged, inside, or outside).
“Simply amazing! She sent us videos and photos and kept us up to date every day. She made us feel better about our dogs while we were away. She took care of the dogs and the house. Both were perfect when we returned. I am glad we found her and she is the last and final dog/house sitter we will ever use. She is the best!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs through working at a doggy daycare, where I spend my days supervising dogs, keeping them safe, and making sure they get plenty of playtime and attention. I also have experience with my own dogs and cats, so I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m comfortable with walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and giving them the attention they need while their owners are away. I always try to make pets feel comfortable and cared for, while keeping their normal routine as much as possible. 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.
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.
“April was absolutely amazing! She took great care of our dogs and house. She was easy to communicate with and followed all requests perfectly. She was respectful and friendly. We would be more than happy to rebook with April.”

I hope as you look at my profile and see me you also believe that I will treat your dog as one of my own and give them the best care while you are away. As of right now I work from home, so that means I am free all day to give your dog the love and care they deserve! I do not have a fenced in yard but i am a couple blocks down from a dog friendly park that we could walk to or even just play in the spacious back yard.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with 15 years of experience caring for pets. I currently have two cats of my own, so I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. My experience extends beyond cats to rabbits, reptiles, and amphibians. I’ve also volunteered at a metro dog park and am currently looking to volunteer at an animal shelter, to give me even more opportunities to interact with and learn about animals with different personalities and needs. I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and committed to providing the same loving care and attention I give my own pets. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine, preferences, and special instructions to help them feel comfortable while you’re away. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m available any day and at any time to care for your pets. Having an open schedule allows me to be available when you need me, including weekdays, weekends, mornings, evenings, and holidays. I’m happy to work around your schedule and your pet’s routine to provide dependable, attentive care whenever you’re away. I care for every pet as an individual and take the time to learn their routine, personality, and specific needs. In your home, I will follow your instructions closely and keep your pets comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, feeding, fresh water, litter or habitat care, and companionship as needed. I understand that pets can feel anxious when their people are away, so I’m patient and attentive and give them time to feel comfortable with me. I’m also experienced with cats, rabbits, reptiles, and amphibians, and I’m comfortable following specific care instructions for different types of animals. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away, while also keeping you updated so you can have peace of mind.
“Debbie is amazing!!! She was so thoughtful and considerate of my pets needs. She sent updates at all times of the day while I was away. The pets were happy and sad to see her go. She left my space clean and well maintained. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Absolutely amazing!! We can’t thank her enough with watching our two dogs and house while we were gone. Even with some last minute changes. She was so sweet and our dogs loved her from the moment they met her.”
“We needed a last-minute dog sitter, and Bri stepped right in! She was incredibly kind, took great care of our dogs, and even washed the sheets and cleaned up after herself before leaving. We really appreciated her thoughtfulness and would book her again.”
“Michele was absolutely amazing! This was the first time we have left Tank alone with someone other than family members so we were definitely nervous about how he was going to react. Michele exceeded our expectations with numerous pictures and updates throughout the weekend as well as vidoes of our baby! We felt at ease knowing Tank was in great hands and will definitely be using Michele again whenever we need a dog and house sitter! I cannot thank Michele enough for her dedication to animals and making sure everyone was happy!”
About: I’ve had or taken care of dogs since I was 3 years old and have had several dog breeds within my lifetime. I currently have a mini poodle and she is my heart dog! I am a second grade teacher in Santa Rosa County and am looking for a way to make some extra money, meet new people, and care for and play with pets! I can stay at your house or drop in during lunch or before and after school and throughout the day on weekends. I live in an apartment on the first floor with my mini poodle Penny. We walk every morning and afternoon after I get home from teaching (around 3:30 pm), then again before bed each night. We also have a dog park that we play in. Penny loves the park! 🐾

This was our second time having him take care of Lau, and once again, he did an amazing job! He picked her up, brought her back safely, and even went back for her food. I really appreciate how caring, responsible, and thoughtful he is with her. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing Lau is in good hands. We’ll definitely be booking with him again! ❤️🐾
Rylee was great with GiGi and Stella! I can tell by the videos and pictures, that they really enjoyed having her around. She did a great job with feeding and nurturing and just overall taking great care of my girls! She was very respectful and professional! She also took great care of my house. Definitely recommend!
Sara was great with our cat, Merlin! I certainly recommend her! She sent pictures of Merlin, stayed at the house to keep him company, fed him, played with him and let him in and out. She even notified us of an impending storm and secured items, plants and umbrellas on the deck. It’s obvious she loves pets and is very conscientious.
Anne was great! This was our first time using rover since moving to Pensacola and we lucked out with Anne watching our two dogs. We had a 2 week trip to Europe and she stayed with our golden retriever and (slightly more difficult) Shiba Inu. She handled both with great care and formed a friendship with the Shiba, which is rare. We had constant communication and she respected our house along the way. Will absolutely be booking again. Thank you, Anne!
Felicia was absolutely AMAZING! This was my first time leaving my one dog with a sitter and she was so kind and understanding. She sent pics throughout the day and stayed over a couple of nights to snuggle with my pups a little extra. Her rates are way lower than the work and love she puts in. Thank you, Felicia!
Caitlin was just what we were looking for in a dog sitter! She was communicative, responsible and friendly. She sent great updates with photos every day. Our shiba inu and dachshund seemed to really enjoy her presence and warmed up nicely. We look forward to using Caitlin for more dog sitting needs in the future!
Murray was great. He dog sat my 2 big labs. One is elderly and needed special help and care and I almost didn’t go away for the night but Murray took great care of him. The other is a total spaz but he cared for both of them like I do. I would definitely use him again and recommend him for any dog sitting.
Pooja was sweet and attentive to my service dog and kept me updated on his activity. To help with his separation, she redirected his attention and kept him from focusing on my absence. Pooja also gave me hope that I will be able to help my pup begin to enjoy being alone. I highly recommend Pooja.
Claire did an excellent job watching my two dogs and three cats, she handled my senior chihuahua well and was great about keeping me updated on my two shy kitties. I appreciated her coming before the booking to meet the animals and make sure we all felt it was a good fit. Will definitely use her again and would highly recommend!

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 Goulding 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 Goulding 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Goulding 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!

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 .

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.
