“Gina was amazing and took excellent care of our dog while we were gone. Communication was great with lots of photos which we loved receiving. Gina will be at the top of our list when we need a pet sitter again. Highly recommend!”
“Amber showed up early and seemed to care / listen to our directions and concerns. She sent photo updates and took the dogs on a long walk, which they enjoyed! We appreciated her responsible nature and seemed genuinely kind to the dogs. We recommend her to everyone looking for a reliable person.”
“Jamie did a really great job of taking care of our little Dixie while we had a few days away. She seems to be very caring and contentious of the dog’s needs. We were happy with her services and would highly recommend her.”
About: Hey there! I’m LeeAnn 🙃 I’m here to help with your cutest, cuddly kitty and sweetest pupper needs! Whether I’m popping in for potty breaks, a quick stroll or making sure Whiskers can’t see there’s an empty spot in the food bowl (Cat parents, am I right?) Honestly I’m looking for something that allows the ability to create my own “flexible” schedule and be more present for my kiddos..the less furrier ones, although they act like wild animals! 🤪 I follow the instructions of the owners requests! In the summertime I am very mindful of the heat* I take a lot of shorter walks for the safety of myself and the dog - I want them to get their energy out but also don’t want the hot pavement burning their paws and/or a heat stroke for the animal nor myself. A lot of inside play consist of toy play! But again, I’m always going to be mindful of owner requests/demands
“Hands down, the best dogsitter we've ever had! Went above-and-beyond to care for our two dogs and our home while we were away. Provided wonderful timely updates every day, with cute pictures of our pets. We felt absolutely peace of mind with our pets in her care. We were also happily surprised to find that she had cleaned our kitchen and guest room, and left **printed photos** of our dogs from her stay with them hanging on the refrigerator door for us to find when we got home. I also feel I have to mention that, in addition to feeding, playing, walking, and caring for our two dogs, she also went WAY out if her way to resolve a home maintenance issue that came up during her stay; one she would have been well in her rights to ignore. I am *stunned* by the amazing quality of care my pets and my home recieved. From now on, if ever we need a sitter I will always call Jo first!”
“Cassidy took wonderful care of our dog, Lucy, while we were away. Lucy was happy and relaxed. Cassidy spent time playing with her and kept her to her daily routine as much as possible. Cassidy stayed at our house the whole time, which we liked because we didn’t want Lucy to be alone. Cassidy was very communicative and sent us pictures throughout her stay. She followed all our instructions. We appreciate her kindness and the attention she gave to Lucy. This was our first time leaving our dog and it went great and we will book her again the next time we go on a vacation.”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I’ve been caring for dogs/cats/bugs/reptiles of all breeds, sizes and personalities for as long as i can remember! I love sitting whether that means feeding them, keeping them company, playing with them, or making sure they’re comfortable while their owners are away. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love getting to know every animal’s unique personality. I’ve recently moved here from Destin,Fl and am still getting into the swing of the Mississippi life therefore i have all the free time for your pet needs! I have a great amount of patience and love for any animal. Great neighborhood for dog (or cat) walking. Friendly boy cat who loves to play.
About: I’ve always been the person my friends and family call when they need someone to take care of their pets. I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and am always trying to volunteer to take shelter pups out for the day. I understand that every pet is different, and I love giving them the time and attention they need to feel safe and happy. I’m always excited to meet new furry friends! I’m currently available every day of the week! I’m a college student at Northwest Florida, but I only have one in-person class on Mondays and Wednesdays, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week. I’m able to work pet care into my schedule easily and can be flexible with drop-ins, walks, and sitting! I also have base access as I am apart of the Air National Guard! I’ll be caring for your pets in their own home, where they’re most comfortable. I’ll make sure to follow any routines and instructions you leave for me, while giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and love. I know it can be stressful leaving your pets with someone new, so I’ll do my best to make them feel comfortable and keep you updated while you’re away!
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.
“Jessica is an absolute dream of a human!!! I left my two pups with her for 5 nights while I was in Miami on vacation. Not only did she need to take care of my 16.5 year old dachshund, but she had to give last minute medications that were prescribed after she was already booked. She handled the new routine so amazingly which is exactly what I needed while I was away. She checked in with daily updates and sent me photos and videos regularly. My dogs were so well taken care of, but so was my home! Everything looked great when I came back and she even went ABOVE and beyond by stripping the bed and starting the laundry for me. She was kind, understanding, and always within reach when I needed to check in. I can't recommend her enough, and I will absolutely be using her again in the future. Thank you Jessica!”
“Darsy was great with our two pups! We decided on house sitting because our newest addition has been picky about other dog friends she meets. Darsy provided updates and photos daily and stuck to their routine. We will definitely be reaching out to Darsy in the future.”
“Emily has watched our two dogs on several occasions now and they love her! Emily is so reliable and so nice, she sends us pics of the dogs while we’re gone and gives us little updates. Our dogs are so much more relaxed and calm when we get home from trips thanks to Emily dropping in often and hanging out with them. Can’t recommend her enough!”
About: I have owned my own Grooming,daycare, boarding facility on Base in Japan ! It was one of the best experiences. I have dealt with all kinds of pup sizes and temperaments! I know how to asses a situation before anything is elevated, I know the signs if something is not right, and give clear communication to the owners. I love being able to help others out since dogs are my de-stressors and being SECFO I just don’t want to talk to people some days ! My schedule is always changing and some days I’m 0900-1700 or 0600-1400. Then having random days off . I am an Ophthalmic technician for my full time job, but A lot of the doctors are on Summer leave right now. So I have a lot of time and would love to give back to other people and their fur babies! I have two kids that are in daycare full-time and being off three days a week sometimes which definitely hurts a paycheck! So I’m pretty open and free ! Oh well first off I always treat my clients house with respect! If there was an accident how to clean it up immediately and then take the trash out since I would hate to come home to a house that smells like poop or pee. If we were going on a walk or playing outside I would always check the harness before we even leave to make sure it is completely secure as well as checking the locks on the door and fence if we were outside. I always wipe paws and make sure your fur babies experience is wonderful ! I communicate fully with the owner of there is anything wrong, toy shredded, poop etc just to make sure we are on the same page .
About: I have over 7 years experience of house/pet sitting caring for a variety of animals, fish, dogs, birds, cats, goats, a donkey, a llama and chickens. I am comfortable and confident with almost all domestic animals. I am a retired Registered Nurse with over 30 years experience in various fields of medicine. I am now a full time house and pet sitter travelling around(by car) the continental US and Canada caring for other's beloved fur family. My experience includes daily walks, feeding, administering medication when necessary, and providing plenty of love and attention. My past nursing experience has made me highly observant and attentive to the smallest details. While I am calm and easygoing I am also excellent in challenging and emergency situations being both independent and self reliant. I love dogs and cats but do not have any of my own due to my gypsy like lifestyle. I am very neat and clean.....so your home will be just as you left it while respecting your property.
About: I’ve grown up on a horse farm and have had multiple dogs since I was a child. Taking care of the dogs has always been my job while I am home. I am currently in between jobs in my field and am looking to fill the gap I love animals and want to help out where can while also making some pocket change. I am extremely trustworthy and reliable. Somewhat of a people pleaser and will do everything by whatever rules and steps you request. Willing to go on long walks to entertain pups and could potentially bring one of my small dogs along to socialize if preferred.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Niceville
Jacob is wonderful with our senior, small dog. He also is extremely neat, timely and organized. I can tell how our dog did when we are gone by how he acts when we return, and our fur ball was calm and content. In addition, our condo was spotless - Jacob even stripped the bed! I would highly recommend Jacob and will book him in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Niceville is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $67 per night. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Niceville walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Niceville maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Niceville 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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
