About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have years of hands-on experience caring for pets of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I’ve personally owned pitbull breeds, so I’m very comfortable handling strong, high-energy dogs, but I also have experience with small breeds and cats as well. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your animals. I’m reliable, patient, active, and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, medication routines, or just keeping them company. My military background has also made me very responsible, organized, and dependable, so you can feel confident your pets will be safe, cared for, and treated like family with me. I currently have a very flexible schedule and a lot of availability throughout the week. I recently graduated college and am waiting to begin active duty military service, so right now I’m doing side work and pet sitting for extra income while I prepare for that transition. Since I’m living with my sister and have fewer day-to-day obligations, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care, walks, playtime, check-ins, and keeping pets company. I’m available most weekdays, weekends, and holidays with flexible hours. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always prioritize safety, consistency, and comfort. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, walking routines, and any specific care requests from owners. I have experience with both large and small dog breeds, including pitbulls, as well as cats, so I’m comfortable handling different temperaments and energy levels.
“Anabel was very responsive and sent lots of pictures and videos while house sitting for our pup. She also left the house as it was and even cleaned her sheets and towels, so very nice. Thank you for taking great care of of our pup 💕”
About: Hello, I am Jennie, a 43-year-old mother and wife with considerable free time. With extensive experience in caring for dogs and cats throughout my life, I possess a strong foundation in animal care. Growing up in Alabama afforded me ample opportunities to care for a multitude of animals. My expertise extends to caring for pets of all ages, from young to elderly. Recently, I cared for my Labrador for 20 years, managing her kidney issues and frequent potty breaks during her last 5 years. She also developed arthritis in her joints, making once easy maneuvers a trial without my assistance. Currently, I care for a miniature schnauzer and a black Bombay cat. I have experience with dogs ranging from Great Dane to miniature schnauzer sizes. If you have any questions feel free to ask. I would love to make your baby feel loved and comfortable in your absence. With my children in their teens, I've gained some spare time. I limit my service area to guarantee swift responses to clients facing emergencies and needing immediate assistance. I recognize the value of a regular routine for pets and the potential disruption caused by deviations from it. I ensure your pet's daily feeding and transition schedule is closely monitored. As someone who enjoys spending time outdoors, I am more than willing to take your pet on a walk or short hike if they enjoy the outdoors. My Jeep is available for transporting pets of all sizes, including larger breeds.
“So greatful for the cafe Marissa gave our dogs while we were gone. We left at 4am to the airport so it made me nervous having her show up after we left but the moment she got to our home she texted us and just did and amazing job with our boys. Thanks Marissa!!! We will definitely be asking her to sit again!!”
“Katrina was amazing! She stayed with our large pup for over a week and took amazing care of him. All the pics she sent showed him happy as can be and that’s pretty amazing as he can pout terribly when we’re away. She communicated beautifully and the house was cleaner than when we left. She’s absolutely lovely! We will always ask her any time we are away now. What a lifesaver!”
“Noah was awesome! Kind to my furbabies, no complaints from them- 2 paws up. Noah was quick at responding and ready to go on short notice for us. This was our first time using Rover; I'm glad I found Noah when needed. We'll be using him again when the time comes.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and other pets all my life. I’ve taken care of family and friends pets of all kind. Cats, dogs, ferrets. I always make sure I have plenty of time to take care and play with your pup. My service schedule is updated for my availability. I work a part-time job. So my schedule is pretty open. I'll have plenty of time to exercise and check in on your pets. 😊 I have fenced in yard at my house. Perfect space for exercise, i also live walking distance to a park with a fenced in area.

“Rona is incredible! She is truly an animal whisperer and will put your dog or cat needs above everything else, including her own. I trust her completely and look to her for advice to get to know my own dog better!”
“Julie was amazing! She did a wonderful job with our cats, sent great pics and communicated daily. She went above and beyond, confirming that we had actually landed and made home. We will absolutely use her again! We came home to very happy cats!”
“Our puppy was VERY loved by Lydia. She sent pictures, updates, and even helped with puppy training. She left our house spotless and even washed dog blankets and her sheets! Lydia is fantastic and we are so grateful for her!”

About: I've been passionate about animals since childhood. I have had a zoo in my lifetime, from dogs to cats to lizards to fish. I give the best belly rubs and ear scratches and you will always receive the best portrait mode photos of your pet when I come to see them. I have a deep love of cats, but I am sure to give them space and play it cool until they warm up at their own pace. I have had bully mixes who I had to train on leash as adult dogs, so I am up for the challenge of a difficult walker. Your pet just needs company for a bit? I'll bring my book and read out loud to your cat. Overnight stays do include custom goodnight lullabies for your pet. I am currently working part-time gigs and can come to your pet when needed and spend time with them. I am able to go on long walks to truly tire out even a rambunctious dog- I often walk 3-5 mile a day! I am also able to sit on the couch for a while and snuggle them as they need, or I can just be in the general same area as your cat if that is what they will allow and will talk out loud to give them company and stimulation. I will make your pet comfortable on our walks and stays and be a great steward of your space. I clean up after myself and pets well and do not overstay, nor am I nosy in your space- my sole attention is on your fur baby.
About: I’ve had or taken care of dogs since I was 3 years old and have had several dog breeds within my lifetime. I currently have a mini poodle and she is my heart dog! I am a second grade teacher in Santa Rosa County and am looking for a way to make some extra money, meet new people, and care for and play with pets! I can stay at your house or drop in during lunch or before and after school and throughout the day on weekends. I live in an apartment on the first floor with my mini poodle Penny. We walk every morning and afternoon after I get home from teaching (around 3:30 pm), then again before bed each night. We also have a dog park that we play in. Penny loves the park! 🐾
About: I've had pets growing up and my own as an adult. I was taught pets are Family and that is how I care for my own, and other people's, pets. I can walk, clean up after, feed, and give medication to dogs. I've raised dogs from puppy through senior age and the peaceful passing on from this world. I work remotely, and make my own schedule, so I have a lot of flexibility to care for your fur baby. Walks, feeding, or sitting that works around whatever your schedule is. I live in a pet friendly apartment complex that has a fenced dog park and plenty of space to walk. I have a pet friendly apartment with a cat of my own currently. She's been around dogs and cats her entire life. Let me know your pets preferences and I'll accommodate to keep them comfortable and happy while you're away.
“Joshua is the best!!! He was available to watch my two pups on short notice. Took excellent care of them, and they were happy and comforted while I was away. I highly recommend him!!!!”

#1 Dog sitter! Ashlyn was amazing and wonderful. She did an outstanding job taking care of our dog. His normal sitter couldn't make it so we were a little nervous. She was understanding of our dog's needs. She was calm and communicative. She took care of our dog and home as if they were her own. We will definitely have her dog sit again! We are so pleased with Ashlyn!

FAQs for House Sitting - Oriole Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Oriole Beach on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 642 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Oriole Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Oriole Beach 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 Oriole Beach 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 Oriole Beach 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Oriole Beach. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
