“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!”
“Jana was amazing with Ralphie and Barley! She stayed for five nights, spent plenty of time hanging out with them, and sent photos and constant updates on how they were doing and behaving. We felt completely at ease while we were away. Highly recommend her for in-home dog sitting!”
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! 🐾
“Samantha was an amazing dog/house sitter! She even stayed when the hurricane hit pensacola and made me feel comfortable leaving my dogs with her. Great communicator and will definitely book in the future!”
“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!!!!”
“We could not have asked for a better sitter! She took exceptional care of our dogs and our home, and her communication was outstanding. We received so many updates throughout our time away, which gave us complete peace of mind. She followed instructions perfectly and truly went above and beyond—washing and folding linens, tidying up, and making sure everything was left spotless. Most importantly, our pups were clearly well cared for, loved, and happy. It was obvious she treated our home and our dogs as if they were her own. We would absolutely trust her again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and detail-oriented sitter.”
About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was 4 we recently just had to put down our 15 year old pit Bull. I have a 10 year old pit mix that I hold near my heart. I hope as you look at my profile and see me you also believe that I will treat your dog as one of my own and give them the best care while you are away. As of right now I work from home, so that means I am free all day to give your dog the love and care they deserve! I do not have a fenced in yard but i am a couple blocks down from a dog friendly park that we could walk to or even just play in the spacious back yard. I also have a friendly fur baby who would love making a new friend.
“Pooja was sweet and attentive to my service dog and kept me updated on his activity. To help with his separation, she redirected his attention and kept him from focusing on my absence. Pooja also gave me hope that I will be able to help my pup begin to enjoy being alone. I highly recommend Pooja.”
About: I had a dog for over 10 years and I used to pet sit all my neighbors animals growing up! I would love to own a pet right now but I want to be settled before I do! That’s why I’d love to take care of your cats or dogs! I love nature and trails and they would be exceptionally more fun if I had a buddy with me! Since I owned a dog who had multiple surgeries, I’m more than suitable to take care of any special needs your dog may have! I currently work from 7-3:30 so I have the whole morning and afternoon to take care of your pets :) The weekends I should be even more free! I live an apartment that has a doggy park. It has lots of green areas to walk around and play in. It’s a pretty family friendly neighborhood.
“Daikyria was amazing with London and Paris and sent questions and pictures and communicated well the entire time I was gone visiting family and friends back in Michigan. We highly recommend her and will be booking with her in the near future!”
“Aiden was an amazing dog and house sitter. We could tell our dogs were very well taken care of, and it was very stress free for us knowing they were home in their comfort zone. I would highly recommend Aiden for your animal and house sitting needs.”
“I cannot say enough amazing things about Chelbi. She provided me so much reassurance and took such good care of my boys. One of my babies requires lots of medications and she was on top of everything. I have never felt so at ease with a dog sitter. Our babies were beyond happy when we got home and I can tell they were cared for so well!!!! You will not regret hiring Chelbi!!!!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for about six years and have experience with dogs, cats, and other pets. I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors with pet sitting, feeding, walks, playtime, and daily care. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs, from energetic young animals to older pets that need a little extra attention. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and always do my best to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. My schedule is very flexible and I am generally available at most times. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and last minute bookings whenever needed. I focus on clear communication, consistent routines, and attentive care so pets feel comfortable and owners feel confident, informed, and reassured while they are away.
About: Experienced Loving Dog-Sitter for Hire! Need a weekend getaway, a week vacation, or just a night out of town? My grandfather was a respected Pensacola area Veterinarian, head of the NWF Veterinary Medicine Association, and I grew up working as a Veterinary Tech and caring for animals. I'm well-skilled in handling pets and a also a homebody. I am a dog lover, and I can care for your pet in my home with fenced in yard, and two friendly pugs. I can also care for your dog at your home, making frequent visits for playtime, feeding, and making sure your dog is feeling loved and secure. I hate to use the cliche, but often… you get what you pay for these days. My price may be premium, that is because I dedicate my time and go above and beyond, I will not let an animal feel alone or separation anxiety if I can help by giving extra time and personal attention. I usually only have one client at a time, except in rare cases. If I do host more than one client, it is done with great care so it will be a great experience for all. It is only in cases where I know the nature of all pets and personalities, and have no doubt it will be workable and a good fit for play and free of any potential risks of clashing. Also, it’s of paramount importance that I can interact and ensure all dogs get the attention and comfort they need. A lot of Rover sitters take 6-10 or more, that is not for me. I don’t kennel unless you request it. I’m always attentive to the dogs needs and we go outside often. Your trip can be worry free, frequent updates, attention to detail with mealtimes and any special needs, Skype/FaceTime any time to check in. Don't subject your pet to the distress and separation anxiety they experience in kennels. I will make certain your pet feels happy, comforted and loved in my home or yours. I do not skimp on attention to a beloved pets needs, I have excellent credentials and references, and you can trust in my accountability as I will treat your pet as I do my own, with love and gentle yet firm assuring words. My neighborhood is perfect for walking as well. Your pet will be at ease and having fun, too, while you are away. You provide food and instructions for feeding and care. I do not just drive by and feed animals. I take this commitment to heart, I'm fully involved with only one pet at a time, and consider myself fully responsible. My rates are flat $45 per day, and I service the Navy Point area. Your pet is never alone. Please send me a private message for references, more info, and discuss arrangements if you need some care-free time away and loving care for your pup or kitty. You and your pet will be very happy you did. I am very happy being here with my two pugs or travel within my local area and am willing and able to give loving attention and care to yours. So, look no further! We are looking forward to meeting you and your furbabies, it will be a blast! I am retired from the technology field and home all the time, this is what I love to do… living the dream, loving the doglife! We have a large, secure yard and are always outside when dogs are out, we have a 1500 sq ft home, we have several gated rooms to separate for feeding and if any dogs want their own space and downtime. We are always here and engaged with all dogs, and as I’ve said… I only take 1-2 clients typically at a time. So, there is a lot of direct attention and play/interaction the whole time. We do not have visitors or come and go, it’s a very comfortable and low stress, enjoyable vibe here!
About: I am an active 57 year old woman who has owned both cats and dogs over the years among other types of animals. Just ask! I don’t have any animals at the moment because of where I live but do have lots of neighbors with animals. I also have relatives with animals that have meant a lot to me. The animals in my area are friendly and there is space inside to lay or play and outside for them to walk. I will watch in your place as little or as long as u prefer. But prefer yours as animals are always more behaved at home and it makes them feel happy to be in their own space. My son is grown and gone and we have loved and had many animals that have either passed. I believe animals can bring a smile to anyone’s face. I love them as my own and all animals tend to like me. I give regular updates and pics and very communicative to make you feel better about leaving your baby with a stranger. I work part time doing uber and Lyft at the time and have some time on my hands, can take off when needed. I would love to share some of my time with an amazing dog or cat. Or even a few of them. Have a great day! I thank you for your time and hope to be meeting you soon! Feel free to ask me anything. I currently work a few days a week delivering for door dash. I have plenty of time to take pets outside when needed for a walk or give plenty of attention when needed. I prefer will watch in your home. I live in apt complex that has plenty of room to roam. 3/2 and it’s only me that lives here now. I have had roommates that had dogs previously but none right now and don’t plan to change that. They can lounge on couches or run around the apt as there is nothing breakable.

#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!

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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
