“Kopie loved staying with Patience. She took great care of him, treated him as her own, and followed his routine! Words can’t express how grateful I am! We recommend her 100%!”

About: Lifelong owner - Great Dane, Pit-bull, Puggle, German Shepherd + cats. I grew up with a Great Dane (gentle giants + large breed care), a Pit-bull (high energy, strong, total love bug – Big on positive reinforcement), a Puggle (small dog sass + sniffy walks), and cats, so I’m comfortable with any size, breed or personality. I currently have a German Shepherd, who is friendly, social, and great with other dogs. He’s up-to-date on vaccines and loves having playmates. Your dog will get a built-in buddy for supervised play in our big fenced backyard, but I always do slow introductions and can keep them separate if needed for meals/naps. If your dog prefers people only, just let me know and I’ll manage it. I’ve been pet sitting since I was 11 – boarding, daycare, walks, droppings, puppies to seniors. Very comfortable with basic training: sit, stay, crate, training, potty training, leash, manners, no jumping, and sticking to your routine. I’m a stay at home mom, so I’m home all day. Dogs here get potty breaks every 1-2 hours in the backyard, lots of exercise, photo updates, and never left alone for long. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so pet care is my full daily routine and I’m home 24/7. Dogs get potty breaks every 1-2 hours in our big fenced backyard, morning and afternoon play sessions, walks, training practice, and lots of cuddles. I have a friendly German Shepherd who loves play buddies, and we spend most of the day outside. Available for boarding and daycare 7 days a week, including holidays. Safety is my top priority. Big fully fenced backyard with supervised play only – dogs are never outside alone. Small, clean, dog-proofed home, dogs never left alone long. Slow introductions with my friendly German Shepherd, separate feeding/sleeping if needed. Daily photo and video updates, I follow your feeding and crate routine exactly, and happy to do Meet and Greets first. I believe pets are just people with fur ❤️
“We contacted super last minute, got a response and was able to drop off my babies within an hour or two. This was a first time leaving our babies with someone and I’m so grateful to have found Marina! She is very friendly, confident and knowledgeable about animals and I felt very at ease leaving my babies with her. She sent me updates and pictures without even having to ask too which made me happy! Thank you SO MUCH again!”
“My plans for someone to watch my dogs feel through last minute and Annie saved my trip. Luna Roxie were well cared for and came home tired and happy. If I ever need a sitter again I will definitely try to use her. Thanks for loving them and keeping them safe Anne. You're awesome!”
About: I have taken care of both small and large pets, as well as aggressive breeds. I am also familiar with administering medicine to animals as I grew up with several pets that had medical needs. Additionally, in college, I fostered a dog for the first time. I absolutely loved the experience and it made me more familiar with rescue animals and their tendencies. Please keep in mind that I have a 14 year old Australian Terrier (like Todo from the Wizard of Oz) at home should you request boarding. She is very easy going with other dogs, but I kindly ask that other pets be the same. I am a college student who is currently home for the summer. I have a remote internship online and can be very flexible with my schedule in order to care for your furry friends! I understand that our pets are members of our families and deserve all the attention and care we can possibly give them. I take this to heart and do my best to ensure they are well cared for so that you may enjoy your time away, without worry. With that said, I am respectful of the fact that you are entrusting me with your pet and your home. It is my top priority to make sure everyone feels comfortable and safe with the situation.
About: I love dogs but want the flexibility to travel, so I thought I’d watch other people’s dogs to get my fill! Your babies will get lots if love here! I had a dog for 13 years and recently fostered a couple of dogs. I also have a cat, but she’ll mostly just hide if I’m watching a dog here. I have a fenced in yard and have given pills to dogs before. Your babies will be in good hands. I work full-time, but not the typical 8-5. I typically leave home around 10:30 and get back around 4, Mon-Thur. your fur baby will get lots of attention and care. I have a fenced in yard in a quiet neighborhood. I have dog crates here already, and some toys! My cat will be hiding, so your baby will get lots of love!
About: I volunteered at an animal shelter for 5 years so far. I still do. I have 5 dogs and 6 cats. I have experience with snakes, bearded dragons, leopard geckos, and spiders! I have pet sat for years. I am currently in Vet Tech school and am planning on going to Veterinary Medicine school after! I am currently working part time so I will have lots of time to play with and care for your pets like they’re my own. I am ambiance to work 7 days a week and am always egar to meet more animals. I will always watch out for your animals like I do my own. I will follow any rules or safety concerns you may have. All fur babies are the best.

I am retired from the medical field and work from home. I have a lot of time to spoil your pets with walks and cuddles I offer a free met and greet with every pet owner. I find it important to establish a rapport with the owner and the pet. For home stays in your home, I don't just feed, walk and play with your pet, but bring in any packages that may have been left on the porch, take out the trash and recyclables and alternate lights.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Panama City
Jessie was truly the best! This was our first time leaving Beau with anyone other than family and we felt very much at ease during our whole trip that he would be well taken care of. Jessie was very responsive and provided us with numerous updates throughout our vacation. We couldn’t recommend her services more!!
Cathryn was very prompt in getting everything set up and arranging a meet and greet. She was accommodating as we prepared for the drop off. She kept us updated and sent pictures while we were out of town. It was obvious he was happy/content in staying with Cathryn. She was again accommodating for the pickup. I would recommend Cathryn as a caregiver for your pup.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Panama City is $37 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $53 per night.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
92% of sitters in Panama City can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Panama City home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Panama City.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Panama City sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
