“Elizabeth was great, very personable, lovely home and took us last minute. We would definitely recommend and seek her services again. Video updates were sent and great to watch while we were away. Thank you Elizabeth for taking care of our fur babies as if they were your own. She is great and you will not be dissapointed”
“We had a great experience using Kayla and Richards services for our dogs! They sent pictures and kept us informed the whole time we were out of town. When our flight back got delayed they were flexible and able to keep them longer than had been discussed. I would definitely book with them again!”
“Nadia was a life saver! I booked for a last minute boarding and she did a great job accommodating everything we needed. She sent photos and updates daily and was very responsive.”
“We needed a last minute sitter for Moose during the Memorial Day weekend and couldn’t have picked a better person than Rabia! She loved on him like he was her own and spent so much quality time with him! Her yard is huge and he was able to roam free and she even took him on a walking trail and bathed him before we picked him up! She loved him through all of his crazy tendencies and he is now best friends with her pup Bear! You know your dog is taken care of when he whines having to leave the sitter haha! Seriously couldn’t recommend Rabia enough!”
“Mary was an absolute doll. She kept me well informed of Kumas stay. She made sure to keep Kumas schedule to the dot & she helped me keep him from chewing all of his personal stuff for his crate. What a wonderful woman. I definitely recommend her, I’ll be booking her again for my holidays next year. ☺️☺️”

“Tina really came thru for us! When a last minute illness hit our routine pup sitter we needed a solution in a hurry. Tina and her family have a relaxed and welcoming environment (with LOTS of experience) and my two large dogs instantly felt comfortable. She kept us updated with pictures and status so we never had to wonder if all was well. Thank you Tina...we appreciate you so much!”
About: I love animals. All of them! I have always loved animals since I was a little girl. I love spending time with animals, loving on them, playing with them and teaching them new tricks! It would be a privilege to care and love on your furbaby while you are at work, out of town or just need a few hours to yourself! I prefer to stay local in the Niceville,FL area. I am willing to accomodate Destin but depends how far the client is. Let me care for your furry family member today! Now that I am a stay at home mother and wife, I have a lot more free time to devote in caring for your pet. My schedule is pretty flexible so don't hesitate to reach out with any questions you may have! I would be more than excited to love on your furry friend today! I have a fenced in yard with ample room for your pet to roam around in. I also am able to crate your pet if need be. You would just need to provide the crate and anything else you would want your pet to have to make sure his/her stay is a comfortable one.
“My dog, Ryder, enjoyed his stay with Charlie and his dogs. Charlie was very accommodating. We set up a meet and greet for our dogs and they ended up playing for 2 hours! I was updated daily, however much I requested. I only had to provide food and anything else I specifically wanted to bring. Charlie had an extra kennel and plenty of toys. He did walks with Ryder and made sure he got all that lab energy out. We’re back home now and Ryder’s going to sleep for a few days. He’s worn out from his great weekend!! I’m looking forward to using Charlie and his family again.”
“Reese made the process very easy to drop off and pick up our pup and gave us fun updates the whole time too. She is easy to get a hold of through the app and is very responsive, when we need a sitter again we hope she’ll have us!”
“Carol and her family were wonderful! She took really good care of my dog. This was a new venture for us and I'm glad it was a great experience. I almost want to keep her a secret 😂. I do plan to use her again.”
“Jennifer is AMAZING! She is kind, responsive, and very understanding! She takes great care of my pup and treats him like her own when he’s there! Highly recommend and will always use her if she’s available!”
“Return customer here. Emily really understands what your pet needs even through bad weather. Communication is spot on and she sends pictures and videos. Her family really ennjoys doing this you can tell”

Our pups, Bo and Spicy stayed for two nights for my husband and I to go get married. Our lab mutt mix is truly what we call so special. Described frequently as a dog with half a brain cell that flickers on and off and it shows. Our border collie spicy who was rescued and came from a place where he was not treated right and tends to need a lot of empathy and compassion especially coming from males. Throwing a ball is the fastest way to his heart. Bo likes to be the center of attention without knowing what kind of attention it is he wants. Rachel and Cody treated our boys with so much love and respect. Cody understood how unsure of males Spicy could be and at drop off immediately eased our anxieties just witnessing first hand the care our dogs would receive. Both Rachel and Cody gained the dogs trust and learned their play desires (especially Bo’s butt scratch spots and desire for a good wrestle). Rachel and Cody kept us informed without asking but anytime we wanted just to see what the pups were up to they provided us with pictures and descriptions of play and activities. These boys are our world and our sons world and they truly took such great care of them. Thank you! Also, at drop off, something that we TRULY appreciated tremendously was Rachel and Cody took time to get to know the dogs and to get to know us. They asked us if we had any specific needs for the dogs, their usual schedules, how they react to things. They asked specific questions that I would have never thought to ask. For an hour we witnessed their care for the dogs, we had a great conversation about the dog’s personalities, our personalities and what it was that we wanted for our pups and at the end of the day we wanted the dogs to be comfortable and to have fun and judging by the way the two of them snored last night after coming home I know that’s exactly what they got.
Kalvin took good care of our dog Chico. Chico is a very happy doggie when we pick him up from Kalvin house. Kalvin takes him for walks, play with him, and comfort him during thunderstorms. We love the fact he only keeps one pet at a time. I would highly recommend using Kalvin to watch your furry baby.
Sabine was very thoughtful and communicative to our needs! Daisy was well cared for and had a great time making new friends with Sabine’s dogs! They got to run and play together a ton, which is great because my girl is high energy!! I also got the most amazing Christmas picture of Daisy that I will treasure forever! Thank you for loving my girl like she was your own!
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!

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 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 Meet & Greet.
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.
