“Madde is wonderful! Gracie had a great time staying with her while we were away for the weekend. She kept us informed with messages and pictures. Gracie looks forward to staying with her again soon. Thanks!”
“We were so thankful to have found Vanessa to watch our dog in her home. She has a strong background working with animals and it shows in the approach to her care. She made sure our dog was a good fit for their household & put me at ease before heading out of town. Vanessa is a great communicator and her family is extremely accommodating. Thank you for taking such great care of our sweet girl & making her part of the family while we were gone!”
“She was absolutely amazing. Even though she doesn’t have a yard, my puppy got plenty of walks and trips to the dog park. She responded quickly to all of my questions, which I really appreciated. I also forgot to pack a bowl, but she reassured me it was fine and took care of it. She even sent lots of photos and videos of my puppy, which gave me so much peace of mind. When I picked him up, he was excited to see me but also whining because he was leaving them—that really showed me he was treated like family. I would definitely book with her again.”
“Margaret was wonderful with our Gracie. Her home was welcoming and set up well for playing. Gracie had a great time. We look forward to having Margaret watch her again. Thanks!”
“Jessica is absolutely wonderful, this was my first time using Rover and I couldnt have asked for a better experience. She sent pictures and videos on almost a daily basis and was super flexible when I ran into a flight delay on the day to pick up my pup. 10/10 recommend, your pup will be in good hands!”
“Aaron was great! Sent daily updates and I could just tell my Nova girl was having the best time. I knew from our initial meet and greet Nova would be in good hands and was so happy she’d have some company. THANKS AGAIN AARON!”
“This was our first time leaving our baby. From my first conversation with Rosemary and meeting Matthew at drop-off they made it so easy not to worry. I would recommend them 10times over. Thanks so much for making my vacation!”
“David and Krysta were the absolute best! We felt pretty guilty leaving our dog on her first Christmas while we traveled, but they took amazing care of her, and sent lots of pictures! I highly recommend them, and I will def be booking with them my next trip!”
About: I treat every pet like family. I trained my own dog myself, which taught me patience, consistency, and how to truly understand dogs. Your pet will get genuine love, attention, and top-quality care every time. I provide a balanced schedule of exercise, feeding, and downtime, making sure your dog feels safe, cared for, and stress-free.I am currently working so I'm available on weekends for boarding and weekends after 6pm. Hello! I am a reliable and caring animal lover.I have experience taking care of animals every day since I have a dog, a cat, and a ferret at home, so I am very comfortable with different types of pets and personalities.I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and get exercise. Pets in my care will be treated like part of the family and will get plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I can send daily photo and video updates so you can feel comfortable while you are away.My home is calm, clean, and pet-friendly. I can follow feeding schedules, give medications if needed, and accommodate special instructions to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable.I am flexible with scheduling and always happy to do a meet and greet before the booking.I look forward to meeting you and your pet!
About: I give every dog the same care and attention as if they were my own. I'm experienced with all breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. I'm patient, observant, and great at following routines. I'm especially comfortable with puppies and senior dogs. I also provide regular photo and text updates so pet parents feel at ease while they’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, especially on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays, when I have the flexibility to dedicate quality time to walks, play, feeding, and companionship. I plan my day around the pets I’m caring for to ensure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection—not just quick check-ins. Your dog will never feel rushed or overlooked. I currently have a Goldendoodle, so I understand the importance of consistency, positive reinforcement, and a calm environment. In my home, dogs are treated like family—safe, supervised, and given plenty of love, playtime, and structured walks. I maintain a clean space and follow each dog’s individual routine closely. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow instructions carefully to keep pets comfortable and stress-free in their familiar environment. Also, my apartment has a dog park.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve cared for pets since my teenage years and have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from small companion breeds to large German Shepherds. I’m currently the proud dog mom of Neptune, our 7-year-old Pomsky, and two rescued shelter cats from Louisiana. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal with patience, attention, and genuine care. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule, which allows me plenty of time to give your pets attention, playtime, walks, and care throughout the day. My husband also works remotely part-time from home, so there is usually someone home during the day. Our teenage daughter is home for the summer as well, meaning your pets will receive lots of love, attention, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We recently added a fenced 0.34-acre yard with plenty of room for supervised outdoor play and exercise. Our home is calm, family-oriented, and full of animal lovers, with multiple people available to give attention and care. I’m experienced with dogs of many sizes and personalities and will always follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.
“Kary did a phenomenal job watching our 80lb GSP. She sent pics and communicated frequently. She has a nice fenced backyard and took banjo for walks frequently. She did a great job watching Banjo through the thanksgiving holidays. TY!”
“Alexandra and crew (people, cats and a dog) were so welcoming that our two aussies were soon happy with their doggie vacation. They had very much built-in play time with the resident dog, and bonded with humans and animals alike in ways we'd not heard of from new contacts since Misty was a puppy (seriously, the pics and descriptions indicated a level of ease, happiness and playfulness we see with them at home). At pick-up time, they were glad to have us visit, but didn't seem completely ready to leave, We cannot imagine a better experience for our pups. If we manage to come to Miramar Beach again, we will definitely try Alexandra again.”
About: I have over 15 years of experience taking care of and nurturing kittens, puppies, and older dogs! I have experience caring for all types of breeds and have done excessive research into caring for animals and how to love them. I currently have had my own Golden retriever girl for 6 years now after getting her as a shy, skiddish baby. She loves everyone and loves to play with new friends! I am currently a stay at home mom with one little at home and my own fur baby so I have lots of free time to be home and play with pups! I live in a home with a fenced in backyard. I have lots of extra dog toys for everyone to play with inside and outside! We also like to take walks around the street as well!
“If I could give a 10+ rating, I would! This was our first time having to leave Genesis with someone other than family. Pam made us feel comfortable from the first interaction when we booked our stay. She was very loving and kind to Genesis and made sure that she knew everything about her to make her stay more comfortable. She gave us daily updates and pictures to put our minds at ease. We are so thankful for Pam and will defiantly be using her again!”
“Ginny took great care of our pup during the new years holiday week! We felt so calm knowing our pup was in good hands while we vacationed in the area from DC. Would definitely recommend!”

Kalvin was great with our two dogs. We felt very comfortable with him watching our dogs as he kept us updated throughout. He kept to their walk routine and overall made it easy for them to transition to some else’s home for a whole week. We will definitely be booking with Kalvin again!
Sheila was lovely and it was obvious her love for pets. She asked clarifying question regarding meal protocols/ allergy treatment etc. She demonstrated her care and concern for Bodhi and Little Sister and communicated daily. I could tell they were at ease. I greatly appreciate her going above and beyond supporting both me and them while scouting for a new home out of state. Thank you Mzzzzzz Sheila🙏🏻
Madison was an absolute rockstar with my 8 month old pup. She was kind, and extremely caring with Cali. She kept me updated on Cali daily - my little girl was BEAMING in every picture from ear-to-ear. Cali misses having a buddy like Roma to run around with for sure. In the future we will ABSOLUTELY be electing Madison’s services.
We had an amazing experience with our dog sitter! She took incredible care of our dog, treated her like family, played with her constantly, and made sure she was happy and comfortable the entire time. We especially appreciated all the photo and video updates — it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can truly tell she cares about animals and goes above and beyond. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and caring. Definitely a 5-star experience!
I couldn’t be happier with the care my dogs received! From start to finish, Hannah was warm, reliable, and truly attentive to every detail. She sent regular updates and photos, giving me complete peace of mind while I was away. My dogs absolutely adored Hannah and her roommate — I could tell from the happy tail wags and relaxed behavior when I saw all of the wonderful pictures. They went above and beyond, treating my pups like their own. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, communicative, and genuinely caring, I highly recommend Hannah. I will definitely be booking again!
Rachel was absolutely fantastic with our pup! Rachel went above and beyond to make sure our dog felt comfortable and loved while we were away. She sent us regular updates and tons of pictures, which really put us at ease. It was clear that she treated our pup like her own, giving her plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a sitter!!

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Mary Esther on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 531 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Mary Esther. About 90% of Mary Esther sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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.
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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
