About: I've worked in an emergency vet clinic, and have had lots of hands on care with all types of pets! I have a genuine love for animals and enjoy being able to be around them as much as I can! I currently work part time with an extremely flexible schedule. Which gives me plenty of time to take care of and be a companion to your fur babies. I have several years of experience with super docile dogs to even aggressive ones! Give me a chance and I promise you won’t be disappointed! Have a blessed day! Regardless if you need me for a long vacation trip or even just to walk your baby. I promise to give each one my complete attention and to be aware of their surroundings and behavior. Safety comes first so trust I’ll have them properly leashed up when on walks and aware of anything that could potentially cause any issues!
About: I’ve taken care of animals of every kind since I was able to walk. I have owned rabbits, cats, dogs, hamsters, gerbils, ferrets, snakes, fish, lizards and even tarantulas. Neighbors, friends and family rely on me to walk, feed, administer medication & bathe their pets. I love spending quality time and talking to animals even my fish. :) I have even had many animals just show up on our doorstep as if I have an animal magnet... all have been safely returned to their owners. Zoophilist to the fullest! I'd love to help care for your animal family members! Coast Guard Veteran. I am a stay at home/homeschooling Momma. I do not leave the house often so I'll have plenty of time to play with your babies! I have a fenced yard and great neighborhood for walking; We have an 18yr old cat, a 4yr old cat, a 2 1/2 month kitten, and 2 chickens. All except the kitten are indoor/outdoor animals. Florida room to relax in. All regularly checked and treated for wellness/longevity, fleas, rabies, ticks, worms etc. Animals can be crated/separated if need be.
About: I have loved animals since a child and have owned many different kinds through the years which led me to get a Veterinary Assistant Certification as well as working at a vet clinic for a year. I’m a full time mom of 3. I am currently taking online classes for an Associate degree in business and I do Door Dash/ Uber Eats whenever I can. I would love to integrate my love for animals with my part time work 🦮! I currently don’t have any pets of my own because I’m not in the financial position to properly spoil a pet as I would like but I have a year of Vet Tech experience at Crossroads Animal Clinic in Fort Walton Beach as well as a Certificate for Veterinary Assistant. I have owned many types of animals throughout my life.
“Carolyn was so attentive and communicative the entire time she watches our fur balls. I felt completely at ease knowing she was home checking in on them while we were gone. Would 100% recommend and use her again.”
“Jenna was awesome! She is very professional and friendly. And most importantly, our fur babies were properly taken care of. They are happy and healthy. It was such a great peace of mind having Jenna take care of our babies while we were gone. I will use her services again and I highly recommend her.”
“Jana took amazing care of my four kitties, even up until the hurricane hit. She then checked in after and helped me rebook once the storm cleared, since I was stuck traveling. She was a truely caring sitter and I am so thankful!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and am comfortable petsitting all kinds of pets! With my volunteer experience at an animal shelter, I am also comfortable administering topical and oral medication, if necessary. I work full time, but am available to drop by in the mornings, after work in the late afternoon, and in the evenings. Can do weekends as well! I have base access so pet sitting on base is not an issue! When pet sitting, I obviously always prioritize keeping the water full and giving pets the appropriate amount of food. Making sure the environment is clean is a big one - like ensuring any accidents are cleaned up.
“Nothing but good things to say about Charlie!! She took great care of my dogs while I was away. I will definitely ask her to do drop-in visits again when I leave town. Thank you, Charlie! I appreciate the care and attention that you gave my dogs. :)”
About: I have been pet sitting since I was 15! I took a break while I was getting my masters degree abroad and although now I am back working a full-time job in HR I still miss having a furry friend around. I grew up with my family fostering many dogs throughout the years and we are all dog lovers. I have experience volunteering with rescue animals such as horses, lizards, cats, and dogs. Additionally, I just started volunteering at the Alaqua rescue! I work in human resources and recently graduated with my masters, which I got in Ireland this year. I work a 980 schedule and I am off every other Friday and work from home on my on Friday. Although I do not care for pets in my home I have had years of experience building strong relationships with my clients by providing consistent and reliable service in their homes.
“Aspen was wonderful with our 2 large dogs! I could tell she genuinely loves animals during our Meet and Greet, and our dogs loved her! Even my Sharpei/Rottweiler mix who has “stranger danger” warmed up to Aspen immediately. She was patient getting them to go potty in the rain and followed our instructions perfectly. We highly recommend Aspen and will use her again for future drop-in visits!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Mary Esther
Valerie did a great job caring for our cat and senior dog. Our pup has several meds and prescription food to manage and she did it all perfectly. Clear communication with any concerns and on time for each drop in. We will continue to use Valerie when we are away from home! :)
Frances was absolutely wonderful! She was so kind, compassionate, and gentle with our little dog while she recovered from surgery. We felt completely comfortable knowing she was there to help and care for her. We truly appreciate her kindness and loving care! ❤️
I had a great experience and would definitely book again! I needed a sitter on short notice, and they were incredibly accommodating and responsive. They followed all of my care instructions carefully and even reached out with thoughtful questions to make sure everything was done correctly. I especially appreciated them checking in about my dog’s lunchtime meal; I had almost forgotten to mention it, and their attention to detail gave me so much peace of mind. It’s clear they genuinely care about the pets they’re looking after. Thank you for taking such great care of my dog!
Kendall was a fabulous pet sitter, she took great care of all three pets. She walked and fed my dogs daily, and gave my cat plenty of attention. Kendall was fantastic. Great communication, sweet with the animals, and I came home to happy pets and a tidy house. Highly recommend!

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.

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.
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 Mary Esther 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!
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 .
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.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
