“Linda was super hospitable as always. Rosie had the best time and enjoyed the play time with other pups. I appreciate Linda’s flexibility and willingness to make schedule adjustments. Look forward to our next trip.”
“My dog Toto always comes home with a smile after being cared for by Ashley! She frequently sends picture updates, replies fast, and has excellent communication. Highly recommend!”
“Majorca was so sweet, kind, and kept in touch often to give us updates on our dog! She sent videotext, pictures, and kept us updated on his medications. He loved his visit!”
“Nicole watched our 1 year old golden Luna for a weekend and I could not have asked for a better dog sitter! She sent us continuous updates with lots of pictures and was extremely responsive. She made sure to follow all of my instructions and made me feel less anxious the moment we initially met. I can tell that Luna had such a wonderful time with her in her home and was taken care of exactly the way I would want her to be. I have nothing but positive things to say about Nicole and recommend her to anyone who is in need of a dog sitter in the Pensacola area.”
“I have a senior pug (Sweet Pea)who has never been with a sitter and when we did a “meet and greet” my Sweet Pea was immediately comfortable with Miriah and so was I! Miriah sent pictures and updates everyday and even a video of my fur baby playing with other pets in the back yard! I am so happy to have found Miriah and have already booked her for a trip I have in April. She’s the best and I couldn’t be more happy!!”
“Daniel was excellent with my dog! He provided great care and kept me updated so I felt completely at ease. I ended up needing to extend my booking, and he was flexible enough to make arrangements without any issues. Truly reliable, caring, and professional - I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable sitter.”
“Ladeana was amazing!! I needed her to watch our two dogs for a night super last minute and she was very accommodating. She sent me pictures and updates throughout the day. Whatever your routine is with your dog at home, Ladeana does when they are at her place. I would definitely recommend her to anyone.”
“As a first time drop off I was really nervous but I was given plenty of updates and photos to ease my tension. I left 2 lovely pups with Ms Stephanie (1 large and a small old man) and she was able to keep them both entertained, loved and cuddled. When picking them up I was happy to see they warmed up to her quite well and I would happily recommend her services to anyone!”
“Elaine is a real dog lover! She pampered our 7 year old Cockapoo who has never been without us. Also sent pictures everyday along with a report so we knew how our Coco was getting along. Now I know we have a "home away from home" for Coco! She could not be in better hands!”
“Laura was wonderful! We are from out of town, so when another Rover cancelled very lastsecon, as we came into town for the Blue Angels, Laura was there, on the spot. Ozzie was relaxed and made himself right at home! She checked in a couple times of day to let me know how he was doing.”
“Christina and Gabriel are always a delight! The home is clean, their resident dogs are a dream, and they are always so flexible. One in a million sitter :)”
“Being new to the area and Rover,l literally hit the jackpot with Kristi and Robert! My babies were spoiled for over a week. I got daily photos and videos, proving they may have had more fun than me! They were safe, secure, and even made new friends which our Corgi loved. We will be repeat customers!”
About: I've cared for pets (mine and others) my whole life. I can't count the number of pets I've had... During my childhood, we kept every stray that wandered up! I love all animals and look forward to meeting your babies!! I work from home so I can sit days or nights. I have a big backyard, a dog door and extra dog beds. Slumber Party!! Bring your own bones! I have a dog and a cat that stay inside most of the time but they do use a dog door to the fenced backyard. We eat morning and night. Welcoming friends!
“Oh my gosh!! She was amazing and dealt with my needy premadonna pug! She was very accommodating and I could not suggest her enough. I am so happy I know she had a great time and was more than taken care of, and now she has another new pack!”
“I was a bit nervous about boarding my senior Great Dane again. It had been two years since I had boarded her and recently her boarding companion, another senior Great Dane, had passed away. I shouldn't have stressed about boarding her with Melanie though. Within five minutes during our meet and greet at Melanie's home I felt completely at ease. I felt comfortable, but more importantly, my dog was exploring the house, the yard, getting to know Melanie and her husband. You know when something just feels right.....this was the right choice for me and my dog. I did a one day trial boarding which went great. I have already scheduled with Melanie for additional boarding of my dog and will definitely use her again without hesitation.”
“She was the sweetest lady iv ever met made sure he felt at home and was happy and I got tons of messages and photos from her during the night he came home so happy and playful 🥰 he loved every minute with her and I give her a 10/10 she is one of the best pet sitters iv ever had and I would love her to be his permanent sitter !!!”
“Jessica was a last-minute reservation to keep Shelby for me as I had to fly out of the country. She gave me updates daily on him with pictures of how well he was doing, and I’m amazed because Shelby is such a mama’s boy that it’s too funny that he adapted to other people as well as he did I will definitely”
“We had a great experience boarding Maple and Hazel with Dylan! We received daily photos, videos and feedback which helped keep our minds at ease!! One of our pups is blind so we were nervous, but we knew by the photos she was as comfortable and as loved as she would have been at home. We plan on using Dylan again and again!!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Gulf Breeze
Amazing experience! She is seriously the best. She is so kind, welcoming, and caring. She kept me updated the entire time by sending pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear my dog was well cared for and loved while I was away. She is incredibly sweet, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate! 🩷

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Gulf Breeze is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $56 per night. 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.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Gulf Breeze can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Gulf Breeze home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Gulf Breeze.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Gulf Breeze. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
You and your Gulf Breeze sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
