About: I have always had pets! I have helped a dog give birth before. As well as trained several different breeds of dogs! I have also trained one cat to sit. I don't have a job right now so I'm available with little notice on weekdays and moderate notice on weekends! I will try to answer to everyone promptly I clean my cats litter boxes every other day and take my leash trained cat on a walk at least once a day! I can clean accidents, and litter boxes. I have no trouble following a feeding schedule or administering medication, I've given both dogs and my cats medicine in the past.

Kristian ("Jade") did a fantastic job with our baby, Alice. She sent us pictures every day, along with a brief report, so we could see how well Alice was doing. We will definitely use Jade again when we travel.

About: Experienced with a variety of pets, personalities, and temperaments, including pets with different routines and needs. I’m dependable, attentive to detail, comfortable with walks and exercise, and experienced with administering medications when needed. You can count on me to follow your instructions carefully and provide consistent, responsible and loving care. I work from home, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and allows me to spend more time with your pet throughout the day. I’m able to provide attentive, consistent care rather than simply stopping by and rushing off. I prioritize safety, consistency, and a calm environment for every pet in my care. I carefully follow your instructions, keep pets secure and supervised, and pay close attention to their behavior, routines, and individual needs. My goal is for you to feel completely confident knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: I have had pets in my life ever since I was little. So I love helping take care of them. I also am very good with puppies and teaching them new tricks, and helping with potty train. I also love helping keep dogs very active, or just chill with them and cuddle! I am a stay at home mom, so I have plenty of free time. All days of the week are good for me. I’m even available on weekends if needed. I have a fenced in backyard. I also have a dog of my own, who loves to play with others and gets along with all sizes. He loves to share his toys or just play together. Or if it’s in your own home, anywhere your fur baby loves to play! I also have dog parks around for your baby to play with or without others, and a nice neighborhood to walk around. Or we can walk around your neighborhood as well!

Skylynn did a special request stay for me, spending two hours with my dogs. My Great Pyrenees had oral surgery two days ago and I didn’t want him ripping out his stitches again out of anxiety from being put into his crate. She was wonderful with my three dogs, playing outside and giving them all the love they demanded.

About: I haven’t had the opportunity to take care of pets that weren’t mine. However, I do currently have two dogs and in the past I had a cat, ferret, yorkie, and pitbull. I’m currently in college, so I have time after classes and on the weekends and if planned ahead of time I can also do between class time. I would care for your pets the way I would want someone to treat and care for mine. I would listen and learn if they need any special care or diets they might need. I would try my best to build a trusting relationship with your pets so everything runs smoothly.

About: I’ve always loved animals, and love to pet sit for folks! My flexible work schedule lets me spend adequate time with your pet throughout the day. Nothing is better than cuddling on the couch with a little fur ball! I work full time, Sunday-Thursday. However, I make my own schedule for the day. So I can accommodate any potty break/walk needs. Under emergency situations, I can work from home. I have a large fenced in yard, and we have a small Schnauzer/Chihuahua mix named Calpurnia. She loves to play with every dog, so your pup will get plenty of entertainment! She is crate trained, and will happily crate your pup if you wish. Potty pads can also be made available

About: Hi! I’m Sthefany, and caring for animals is truly my passion. I’ve had experience with a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, turtles, and hamsters, so I’m very comfortable adapting to different personalities and needs. I especially love spending time with dogs—whether that’s going on walks, playing, or visiting dog parks to keep them active and happy. Your pet will be treated like family in my care, with plenty of attention, affection, and supervision at all times. I also have 1 year of experience as a veterinary assistant and 5 years of paid experience in dog walking, boarding, and pet sitting. I can provide services such as pet sitting, boarding, feeding, light grooming, and exercise. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! 🐾 I am currently a full-time college student, with about half of my classes online, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the day. I am home most of the time, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, attention, and care for your pet. I have plenty of time for regular potty breaks, playtime, and walks, and I’m available for boarding, sitting, and drop-ins on both weekdays and weekends. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with my boyfriend and our dog, Shadow, a 2.5-year-old mixed breed who is very friendly, playful, and great with other dogs. I always do slow, controlled introductions to make sure all pets feel safe and comfortable. I provide a clean, safe, and structured environment with consistent routines for feeding, potty breaks, walks, and playtime. I follow each pet’s specific care instructions closely, including medications, special diets, or routines. I have 5+ years of experience in dog walking, boarding, and pet sitting, along with 1 year as a veterinary assistant, so I’m comfortable handling different temperaments, energy levels, and basic health needs. ✨ Why choose me: I provide personalized, attentive care—not just basic supervision. I treat every pet like family and focus on keeping them happy, active, and stress-free. I also send regular photo and video updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: Hello! 👋 Thank you for visiting my profile! I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life—from horses and dogs to cats, ferrets, and just about everything in between. Caring for animals has always been a passion of mine, and over the years I’ve been trusted by family, friends, and neighbors to care for their beloved pets. I’d love the opportunity to care for yours! I have a flexible, home-based schedule that allows me to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and personalized care throughout your pet’s stay. I know leaving your pet with someone new can feel overwhelming, which is why I always recommend scheduling a meet-and-greet beforehand to ensure we’re a great fit. We primarily live in Florida but spend part of the summer at our home in Massachusetts. My calendar is always kept up to date, so you can book with confidence. Your dog will be welcomed into our home as part of the family. We have a fully fenced 6-foot privacy yard for safe outdoor play, and our two friendly resident dogs enjoy making new canine friends. For everyone’s safety, I kindly ask that all pets are spayed or neutered, current on vaccinations, and on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention.

About: I am a fur mom to 7 dogs, 1 cat and fish. I have had animals in my life since I was a teenager. I had a dog sitting business years ago and loved it. I have senior dogs now and have even rescued senior dogs and they lived with me until the end. I have fostered for rescues and even been a foster failure and adopted. I currently work full-time but still can stay at your home to watch your babies. I love dogs, cats and fish. I have had animals since I was a teenager and had a pet sitting business in Alabama before I moved to FL. At one point I had over 20 dogs in my home lol. Now I prefer to stay at my clients home but can still keep your baby at mine if you need. I promise to give your baby the love and attention he/she needs and deserves because they are babies with fur coats and should be treated like it. I will do whatever needed in my clients home, check on your pets at your home or your pets can stay at my home. I have my own pack myself.

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.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Panama City

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Panama City on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 309 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Panama City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Panama City stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

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:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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 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.
