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).
About: Semi-new to this but have dog sat for my family and close friends many times. Have always loved dogs since I was very young. Attended a dog training camp at 12 years old and it always brings me joy to be around anyone’s pet. I have a 13 year old dog that still lives with me and my family. I have a full-time serving job on Pensacola Beach. I have worked there for over 4 years (since I was 16). I genuinely just want something else to make me happy (and make extra money) and dog sitting would definitely do that for me. It would not even feel like a job for me but just something I love to do. Your pet would never leave my sight or care! Pets are like family and I would never not take it seriously. I will give them as much love as they want and more! I’m very responsible, trustworthy and will never be unreliable as long as I am being trusted with your pet.

“Shelby is amazing! I highly recommend her. She communicated well and promptly. I got updates of my dogs regularly and was able to enjoy my vacation knowing they were in great hands. She handled everything with great care, knowledge and common sense!”
“Chelsea is absolutely phenomenal! She jumped in last minute when I needed a sitter while on vacation. She immediately bonded with my dog and he fell in love with her. He can be anxious and overly excitable, but he felt comfortable with her right away. She made it possible for me to have an enjoyable outing with my family and not be worried about Odin the whole time. I can't say enough good things about her, I highly recommend her!”
About: I provide dependable, attentive care tailored to each dogs needs and personality. I understand how important consistency, patience, and trust are when caring for pets. From walks and feeding schedules to companionship and playtime, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable experience for both pets and owners. I naturally have a pretty flexible routine, so pet care fits in easily with my day. I love getting outside for walks, playing with pets, and just making sure they feel loved and comfortable while their owners are away. I know leaving your pet with someone else can feel stressful, so I do everything I can to make it easier for both you and your pet. I’m very attentive, patient, and loving with animals, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family while they’re with me. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and any little quirks that make your pet unique.

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 Gulf Breeze 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 Gulf Breeze 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 Gulf Breeze 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.
