“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the very beginning, Monese was communicative, professional, and genuinely caring. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our girls were in such loving and capable hands. Monese kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which we truly appreciated. It was clear our girls were not only well cared for, but also happy, relaxed, and getting lots of attention and affection. When we came home, our dogs were calm, content, and clearly comfortable — always the best sign! We especially appreciated reliability, attention to detail, and the extra care taken to stick to our girls routine. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and compassionate dog sitter.”
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and check in on their pets while they’re away. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are gone. I will treat your pets like they’re part of my own family and provide dependable, attentive care. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I prioritize being dependable and consistent for every pet I care for. I’m available for drop-in visits as well as on home care. I am part time right now and will work to maintain your pet’s normal schedule, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. As a nursing student, I’m responsible, detail-oriented, and attentive to routines and safety, which I bring into every pet care visit. I will carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and routines to make sure your pet feels secure and stress-free. I understand that every pet has a different personality, so I’ll provide patient, attentive care while respecting their individual needs. I’ll also keep your home tidy, secure, and provide regular updates throughout my visits.
“I highly recommend Shannon! :) We were desperately looking for someone who had availability for the holidays to watch our dog, especially since we were going across the country to visit family and we wanted to make sure our boy was going to be in the hands of someone we can trust while we were away for two weeks, and I am so glad I found Shannon! She first came for a meet and greet and asked all the right questions to make sure she can provide the best care possible, which made me feel even better about having her stay with him. She watched him for two weeks and kept me up to date on their daily activities and sent me the cutest pictures of my boy - where he was clearly very happy being in her presence! She went above and beyond for our family, kept our house clean, she also did tasks that she didn’t have to but was out of the kindness of her heart and our family so greatly appreciates her for - and most of all, she kept our boy so happy and gave him all the love while we were away!! I will definitely be booking her again in the future!”
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.
“We were so grateful to have Breanna to care for our three dogs in our home. We had two new adopted dogs that were just getting used to us when we had to leave for a funeral. Breanna came to our house before to meet them and spent lots of time with them. They were very happy to be with her. We felt so relieved to leave them in such good hands.We left without a care in the world. We highly recommend Breanna!!!”
“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.”
“Allison is a wonderful pet and house sitter. She took excellent care of my pets, kept me updated throughout, and sent photos that gave me great peace of mind. I would happily trust her again and highly recommend her to others.”
“Katrina was so great at communicating with us and providing pictures to help ease our minds while out of town. She was very respectful of our space and left it cleaner than she found it. Will absolutely utilize her again for future house sitting needs.”
About: I have 3 dogs small and large. All super well taken care of and walk atleast a mile everyday. I also groom my own pets every month. I make sure that all my pups and me get our daily exercise together by taking walks or runs. I always plan my schedules for the week around my dogs and the time I need with them. I give them so much love and get all the exercise and energy they need in the day out. They are my number 1 priority
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have years of hands-on experience caring for pets of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I’ve personally owned pitbull breeds, so I’m very comfortable handling strong, high-energy dogs, but I also have experience with small breeds and cats as well. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your animals. I’m reliable, patient, active, and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, medication routines, or just keeping them company. My military background has also made me very responsible, organized, and dependable, so you can feel confident your pets will be safe, cared for, and treated like family with me. I currently have a very flexible schedule and a lot of availability throughout the week. I recently graduated college and am waiting to begin active duty military service, so right now I’m doing side work and pet sitting for extra income while I prepare for that transition. Since I’m living with my sister and have fewer day-to-day obligations, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care, walks, playtime, check-ins, and keeping pets company. I’m available most weekdays, weekends, and holidays with flexible hours. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always prioritize safety, consistency, and comfort. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, walking routines, and any specific care requests from owners. I have experience with both large and small dog breeds, including pitbulls, as well as cats, so I’m comfortable handling different temperaments and energy levels.
About: Hello! My name is Natalie. I’m from Kansas City! I used to be a veterinary assistant and have always had a love for animals! Now I am a reseller and can work from virtually anywhere, but I prefer to be close to the beach! I have dog/cat/plant/house sat for family, friends, neighbors, and past clients for a very long time. I’ve watched dogs that require insulin twice a day, puppies that are potty training, old babies, I don’t discriminate. I am clean, tidy, respectful, and love to help out! Let’s connect! I currently make my own schedule, so really your pets needs are my command! I typically like to work out of the house in the morning, and from home in the afternoon-evening! I love a backyard but am more than willing to leash walk for potty breaks! A daily walk to get out of the house can be expected unless health restrictions impact this.
“Michelle has been our preferred dog sitter for a few years now! On our most recent trip, our dog (who is diabetic) decided to not eat for 24 hours. Michelle went above and beyond by buying wet food, boiling chicken, and giving us frequent updates to ease our stress as much as possible. She cares for our pup like he is her own and we couldn’t thank her enough!”
“Ashlyn was so great with our senior dog and cat! She made sure our dog got her daily pills (which isn’t the easiest task) and they were well taken care of overall. The house was also well taken care of, and exactly how we left it. Highly recommend her for your pets :)”

FAQs for House Sitting - Gulf Breeze
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Gulf Breeze on Rover is $77.7 per night (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of June 2026, there are 613 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Gulf Breeze. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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 .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
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
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
