About: As a lifelong pet owner and animal lover, I have extensive experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’ve been taking care of pets since I was very young and have worked with animals requiring special care, including administering medications. I know how stressful it can be to leave your furry family member, so I always provide frequent updates to keep you connected and reassured. Whether it’s a playful pup or a cuddly cat, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care is a natural and important part of our everyday life—it’s something my whole family truly enjoys. We have a very flexible schedule, so we’re able to provide care during the week, on weekends, and even at night if needed. I work part-time just four days a week from 7 AM to 2 PM, and I’m home for the rest of the day. Even while I’m at work, my husband is always home, so your pet will never be left without loving attention. Between the two of us, we’re able to give your pet the time, care, and affection they deserve. Caring for animals is already a big part of our day—we have pets of our own—so welcoming your furry friend into our routine will feel completely natural. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or walks, your pet will be treated like family and showered with love while they’re with us. I live in a cozy 3 bedroom home, with a large back yard that is completely fenced in with tall privacy fencing, perfect for playtime and fresh air. My family—an animal-loving husband, my playful 10-year-old son, and my adoring 5-year-old—are all eager to welcome your pet into our home. Our German Shepherd, Ava, loves making new dog friends, while our cuddly cats, Jocko and Trunks, are gentle and sweet. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities, and I ensure a loving and secure environment for them to feel right at home. I can also crate your dog if needed to meet their preferences or your instructions.
About: I provide personalized, loving care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s helping a puppy learn basic commands or offering gentle support for senior pets, I’m dedicated to making sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away. My approach focuses on both playtime and relaxation, ensuring your pet’s well-being is always a priority. I am currently a stay at home mom. I have all the time in the world to spend and play with your furry friends! I am available any day throughout the week. I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment for pets, whether in my home or yours. In my home, pets enjoy a cozy, pet-friendly space with secure areas for rest and play. I also do not have any pets of my own at the moment so all attention is on your pet. I ensure all hazards are removed, and I supervise interactions with other pets closely. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I stick to your routine to minimize stress and make sure they feel secure. I always keep a watchful eye on their well-being, follow any special instructions, and maintain a clean, safe space for them to relax and play. Communication is key—I'll keep you updated, so you always feel at ease.
About: I feel like that animals are just drawn to me! I feel like that I am very gentle around all animals and able to give them the attention they need. I do work nearby and could even pop in after work on week nights! But I’m mostly available all day on Tuesday, Friday and Saturdays! I am in an apartment and there is a large dog park across from where I live and there is a large complex to walk around and pond.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Panama City
She was very good with my fur baby today was super hot so my callie didn't get it long, walked, but she took her out for a little walk, but the fact that she was concerned that she was getting overheated really touches me because my husband worries about that all the time, we will definitely be using her again
Jessie has been absolutely amazing. My dogs are a bit of a handful and I was a little worried about introducing a new person into their routine but it hasn't been an issue at all. It has been such a relief having someone dependable and caring that can drop in on them and I don't have to be concerned about it! Thank you Jessie!
Katherine took the absolute best care of our Spud!!! She was so attentive to him and followed every note I left behind as worried fur mom leaving her baby for the first time. They seemed to have formed a great bond which makes me extremely happy as well. Even with the challenges he presents walking (because I know we still have work to do with him there) she was able to cope and face them wonderfully. She even paid attention to my cat when he was not necessarily her responsibility to look after and I can not thank her enough for her service!
I’ve been using Kiersten for a couple of years now, and I can confidently say she’s been amazing every single time. She is reliable, consistent, and truly cares about the animals. During her visits, she makes sure each pet gets the attention, care, and affection they need. It’s clear that my animals genuinely love her, and that peace of mind means everything.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Panama City is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 per visit. 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.
As of October 2026, there are 301 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Panama City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Panama City 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!
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.
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.
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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Panama City with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Panama City. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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.
