We highly recommend Amber’s services and will definitely use her again in the future.”

About: Rover is perfect because I love animals and get to meet many new ones. Rover is also perfect because I get to build client relationships and establish trust doing something I really enjoy. I want you to be happy and confident in the care they are receiving. I have my own dog and they are apart of my world. I offer doggy (animal) drop ins or walks, which I have experience with in the past on petsittercom, dog gone cute grooming & boutique, and on rover during covid. This allows me to be flexible to your needs and still make an income doing something I enjoy. I am 23 years old. My name is Abigail and I am the librarian at CHS. I use to have my own dog named Moo as a kid, she was a rat terrior and I went away on vacation and used rover. So I understand how hard it is to trust somebody online with a part of your family. You can text, call, or email me with any questions, or worries. Extra Fees: Discussed over messages (holiday, puppy, ect.) (Christmas, Hanukkah, Halloween, and Thanksgiving) I love cats too and have experience with drop in visits. As well as birds, fish, turtles, and chickens. I make sure to always send pictures and be available if needed. I always appreciate a detailed message or note for visits just so I know everything that's expected and don't have to contact you during the time you are busy with questions. This helps your dog/ pet be more comfortable when away from you :) I have a reasonably open schedule. I get off work at 2/2:30 pm in Fort Walton Beach as well as being available on the weekends! At your home I will follow instructions left and make sure everything gets done. I will send pictures and be aware of my surroundings during walks. Your dogs safety is my priority!
About: My neighbors rely on my heavily to cat and dog sit for them. I love all animals and i own a few exotic animals myself! I currently am a college student with a lot of freetime and I love to include animals in my daily life and I need some extra cash to help pay for college! I live on an acre lot (completely fenced). I have a beagle and golden retriever to keep company. I also have several crates and different rooms to house the pets if they need to be separated!!
“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.”

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.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
