Nancy took great care of my XL dog and was able to accommodate him very last minute which was such a relief. She was thorough and detail oriented, sent photos, and was a total professional.

Bethany was so sweet and took the time to come meet Booger in person before the first official visit which was so nice. Next time I go out of town, I'd definitely feel comfortable with her watching my dog again.

Rebecca is simply the BEST! She took care of both of our pitties on a weekend after one of them had just had a dewclaw removed. She showed them so much love and was able to give our boy jack the medicine he needed while we were away. Highly recommend booking with Rebecca to care for your babies!

Kristin always takes such good care of my little dude. She’s always on time and when I get back he’s doing great and everything is exactly like I left it. This time my cat threw up a bit and Kristin cleaned it up. She even washes his plates from the previous day. Absolutely wonderful with pets, and I’m always at ease when I know she’s checking in. Thank you!!

Leah was attentive and thoughtful. She responded to messages quickly, and she dropped in on my 3 cats around mealtime to ensure their auto feeders dispensed kibble. She also brought in my packages from the porch and reset my litter robot when it fell off the wifi. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!

Tyeshia helped us with our puppy for a couple weeks and she made the biggest impact! It is apparent that she cares about our baby girl just as much as we do! Her updates were informative and thorough, and overall communication was a huge plus. She even brought her own treats and water bowl, going above and beyond. 10/10 recommend Tyeshia to help your family, she will not disappoint. We will be booking again in the future!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over six years, and spending so much time around animals has taught me that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and way of communicating. My experience includes caring for dogs both in Colombia and in the U.S., as well as cats, so I’m comfortable with different temperaments and daily care needs. I’m patient, dependable, and always focused on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I know how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, so I treat every pet with the same kindness, respect, and attention I would expect for my own. Whether it’s sticking to their routine, going on walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care every visit. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to be available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and last-minute bookings. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine to make sure they receive the care and attention they need. I provide attentive, reliable care in the client’s home to help pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box cleaning, playtime, and any special care needs such as medications or senior support. I focus on creating a calm and safe environment while owners are away, making sure pets feel secure, loved, and well cared for. I also keep owners updated as needed so they have peace of mind during every visit.

About: I offer a calm, clean, and supervised home environment for boarding. My fully fenced backyard provides a safe space for potty breaks and outdoor play, and the covered screened patio gives pets a comfortable place to enjoy fresh air while staying protected from the weather and insects. I also have a quiet dining room that can be sectioned off for pets who need their own comfortable, low-stimulation area. I follow each pet’s normal feeding, exercise, medication, and care routine as closely as possible. I work full time and my available days do change at times. I would love to talk to you and see if my schedule works with yours. I have a chihuahua mix. I do have a fenced in backyard. I also, walk client's dogs around the neighborhood and nearby dog friendly parks.

We didn’t have any issues with the check-ins and she gave very good updates for each day she saw them. We would definitely recommend Nancy!

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!

I couldn’t be happier with the care my cats received. From the start, he took the time to help my cats feel comfortable and safe. He genuinely engaged with them, played with them, and paid attention to their individual personalities and needs. The litter was consistently kept clean, and I was really impressed by the sitter’s attention to detail when it came to my cats’ routines and overall well-being. It gave me total peace of mind knowing my cats were not just cared for, but cared about. I would absolutely book them again and recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and compassionate cat sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Mary Esther on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 1,156 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Mary Esther. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Mary Esther stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Mary Esther. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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.

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.
