Dog Sitting in Niceville

About: Hi, I’m Claire! I’ve been caring for dogs for years and truly see them as family. Whether it’s going for long walks, playing fetch, or just offering a cozy spot to nap, I understand how important it is for your pup to feel safe, loved, and understood while you’re away. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels, and I’m especially comfortable with puppies who need a little extra patience, care and training. Your dog’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities, and I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’d be honored to be your dog’s new friend! Live “on post”? As a milspouse, I have access to base housing at Eglin, Hurlburt, and Duke Field. I have years of experience with freshwater aquariums and small birds also! If you have reptiles, I am comfortable handling and feeding but may need some guidance with their other needs! I’m a stay-at-home mom with three kids, and we’ve been living in the Destin area for just over a year—loving every minute of the beach life! Because we currently rent our home, I’m only offering dog walking and drop-in visits at your home. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, as I have a flexible schedule and truly enjoy getting out for walks, giving pets some extra love and attention, and helping families feel at ease while they’re away. Whether it’s a midday walk or a morning visit, I’m happy to work with your pet’s schedule and needs. I currently care for pets in their own homes through drop-in visits and walks. When I’m visiting a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect and care I would want in my own. I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their familiar environment—whether that means sticking closely to their feeding and potty routines, spending time playing and snuggling, or just offering calm companionship. I always aim to keep your pets relaxed and happy while you’re away, and I’m happy to send photo updates so you feel at ease too. Need the mail collected? Lamps on a schedule? I know leaving your home can cause worry, I’m happy to help ease your anxiety by doing small tasks around the home to ensure you come home to a happy pet and a safe environment.

“Thank you!”

About: I’ve loved all animals since I was 4 years old having both cats and dogs growing up and rescuing my own pup last year. People call me the pet whisper because for some reason all animals seem to take to me very fast.. I like to think it’s because I genuinely love all pets as soon as I meet them. I’ve helped friends pet sit, walk, feed and bathe their pets and have experience with providing medication as well as working with pets with allergies. We have a fenced in yard and live in a very pet friendly area! On Friday-Sunday we usually head to the dog park once each day, but will always check first to see if that is okay with you. I currently work as a dietitian (specialized in sports, women, infant, children and clinical nutrition) so the times that I have listed are always when I am AWAY from work and home/able to provide full focus on your sweet fur babies. This is why my availability is evenings and weekends and occasionally Fridays/Mondays. Additionally, my husband is at home with me too and though his hours are more unpredictable being in the Army he is able to assist as well. I am always upfront about my schedule and work hours to be sure I am the best fit for you and your fur baby! We have a fenced in yard and 1 super friendly 3 year old dog to keep your pet company. If visiting your home I will be sure to bring in any mail and spend some time with your pet during my check in. I would prefer meet and greets prior but it is not required.

About: My home in Niceville is the perfect place for your pet to stay while you are away. With a large, fenced in backyard they will have room to roam and enjoy outdoor play time. I work from home so am always here to keep your pet company throughout their stay and I try to take my dog out for a walk once a day to get some activity under our belts. I grew up with dogs my entire life and now have a sweet dog of my own, Enzo - and we are excited for the company of other dogs. I will do everything in your power to make your dog feel at home! I’m currently working from home full time but I have a dog of my own that I walk and feed in the morning before getting my day started. I also let him play out on the yard for a few hours here and there, then feed him and give him lots of cuddles at night I care for pets like they are my own, making sure they are getting the care they are used to receiving from their own family.

About: I’ve spent 5 years working for a vet clinic, including boarding and grooming. I’ve also fostered puppies as young as 5 weeks old. My abilities include but not limited to caring for a variety of different types of animals, grooming, giving oral medication and obedience training. Pet care is a daily thing for me with having 3 pets of my own. I also care for family/friends pets with drop ins and overnight care. I do have a flexible schedule as I currently work for myself from home selling gems, crystals, and fossils. Caring for animals is a passion of mine that I’ve enjoyed doing my whole life. Safety, trust, and environment is very important to me when clients put their trust in me to care for their pets. I never leave pets outdoors unsupervised (including my own). I prefer not to allow any interactions with unfamiliar people and/or other’s pets while your fur babies are under my care.

About: My family got our first dog about 10 years ago, and the pack has grown more and more over these past years. Family friends and relatives always come to me when they need someone to watch their fur babies, take them on walks, or give them extra care and attention. In my household, there are 6 dogs that I take care of, all of different breeds and sizes. Taking my pups on daily walks is their favorite part of the day! If I am staying with your pet, they will have lots of play time and enjoying the outdoors. For senior dogs or those with special needs, keeping myself alert and aware of surroundings is my top priority. Their safety and comfort is what matters at the end of the day, so I can help in anyway you see best fit!

About: Thanks for taking an opportunity to discover more about me and what I may be able to offer you, your friends, and your family. I grew up modestly but rich with pet friends. I’m a dog person at heart and most dogs know it as soon as we meet. I’m a retired military guy in the area with a wife and 2 daughters. We own a 10 year old American bulldog named LuLu. I understand the need for good, reliable pet care options. So if some Rover providers can’t support your 2 a.m. dog walk/house call request. Give me a shot, I just might be your best solution. Thanks again for considering me. I’m recently retired and finding that I have so much time and even more energy to give. If you have a schedule that is not typical of the 9-5 work day, I understand. I have the same lived experience. I don’t offer boarding services at this time due to my favorite pup LuLu and her inability to socialize with other animals in her home.

“Desiree was amazing! I can not leave a better review. She took care of our dog, and our cat, and both took to her like they’ve know her their whole lives. She was very attentive to my type A attention to detail. And she gave us tons of photos. I hope she can watch them or check in again soon!”

Amber M.

“Had both a great drop in and a great walk experience with Will. Good communication, both our dogs warmed up to him quickly and he sent us photos on both his visits to our house. Thanks!”

I listen to all of their cues whenever they need something.

“Ronald made friends with molly very quickly. She went out for him which usually takes a couple of days for her to warm up to a stranger. Even gave her one of her pain med pills for me when i forgot.”

About: I have been caring for pets of all kinds for five plus years. My family owns a farm, along with five dogs and four cats. I am very passionate about animals and in making sure they are happy, healthy and content! Whether you need a walker or an at-home sitter, I will always be ready to take on a job with a smile on my face :) I am looking forwards to meeting you and your fur baby’s! I currently can’t hold any pets at my residence but I can stay with your pet in your home or go to them as many times a day as you would like to love and care for them and give them as much exercise as they need! I am currently a caretaker for pets full time while my partner works full time. We have no children and only one fur baby so I have plenty of time on my hands! When watching pets, (customers, or my own) I like to keep the pet in view at all times. The well being, and happiness of a pet is my number one priority. I love all animals, and would love to meet yours

About: I’ve had corgis since I can remember and grew up understanding a deep love and respect for animals. I would love to help out whenever I can! My mornings and evenings are my most flexible hours -before work/school- Please do not hesitate to message me with any questions or concerns! Hope I can help! Though I cannot provide care in my home, due to my 1yr old Corgi & 2 wonderful cats, I have reliable transportation and experience helping out for AM/PM feeding, walks, and cuddles!

About: I have had dogs pretty much my entire life, and I have cared for other people’s dogs multiple times through Rover. I am excited to meet new dog friends, and so is my dog! I make my own schedule, so I can run home to let dogs out, take them for walks, and feed them whenever they need! I work close to home as well, so I never leave for very long. I care for pets in other’s home in the same way I care for pets in my home: with lots of love and toys! I keep my home clean, but I always have dog toys around the house.

About: Hello, I have had a dog my whole life and have always loved all animals. I have been fostering dogs from a rescue for the last 6 years and became interested in helping others with sitting services. I love to play with dogs and so do my children, so dogs must be child friendly. Both of my dogs are very friendly and active and love to play with new friends. Whether staying for the day or overnight, your dog would have a great time. I also have 2 cats that love to play with the pups! I have a large fenced in yard and am home all day everyday. I would love to care for and love on your doggies the same way you do!

About: Looking for a pet sitter and/or dog walker? Look no further! Im available for dog Daycare and boarding, so during the stay of your four legged friend he/she will have plenty of space to run and play inside of our fenced in backyard. As soon as they arrive we will have play time for the pups to get to know one another as well as the pups to feel comfortable around myself. I do leave food and water out for the pups to eat when ready, unless stated otherwise by the owner. If there is any specific care routine the owner wants I will abide by those rules. Thank you for your time, hope to hear from you soon. I work full time on weekdays from 8am to 5pm and available on the weekends. Pups do have play and potty time in the morning and in evenings, During the day the pups will roam freely indoors. On the weekends there would be plenty of play time and walks. We would go where ever your comfortable with me taking your pet. We will play tug of war and fetch, they will also have a chance to play with their new friends. Also your puppy could bring his/hers favorite toy so she would play with if we do not have a fun toy she/he likes.

“Ursula was great with Pepper and Lola. They loved her. Will definitely use her again. Highly recommend Ursula!”
