“We love having Breana stay with or pups when we go out of town. She does a wonderful job making sure they get enough exercise outside & spends time with each dog. They are always happy and healthy when we get back :)”
“Kimber stayed in my home and took care of my animals for 2+ weeks. They all seemed healthy and happy when I arrived home and the house was nice and clean. She also communicated well during my time away. Thanks again!”
“Kat what’s amazing with our big boys. We have never had anybody other than family to watch our children. We are so happy to add Kat to our family. She was great with the boys even got them to pose for a picture. I think they were disappointed to see us come home.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets who need extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable caring for multiple pets in one household, handling high energy dogs, and administering oral medications when needed. I am very aware that every pet has their own unique personality and routine, and I always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care while giving pet parents complete peace of mind through reliable communication💕🐾 Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy and fits perfectly into my everyday life. I am currently unemployed so I love spending my time with my own animals, so i will love spending time with your fur baby! whether that means going on walks, playing, keeping them company, or making sure they feel comfortable while you are away. I’m able to build pet care into my routine by setting aside dedicated time for each pet’s needs and schedule. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I want them to feel happy, safe, and loved in my care. I care for every pet and home with the same respect and attention that I would want for my own. In your home, I would follow your rules / instructions closely, keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment, and maintain their normal routines for feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and daily care. I will always prioritize safety by making sure doors, gates, and surroundings are secure while providing plenty of love and attention.
“Lisa was great! She was so conscientious of our dogs well being and of our home. Was a great experience having her stay at our home to care for our dogs. Thank you!”
“This past week was the first time I have left my 2 labs overnight and was a bit nervous. Marina not only met my girls ahead of her scheduled time, she went way above my expectations. My labs loved her and I will definitely be using her again. She made my being gone very easy.”
“Leona was very communicative and sent lots of pictures of puppy smiles and playing with his toys! The house looked as clean as it was when I left it. Thank you Leona for caring for my pup while I was away!”
“Jessica was such a refreshing change! Porter loved her and she also left the house cleaner than when I left. My pup is a very spoiled/particular child and she listened to his needs and met them all. Thank you Jessica and welcome to the family. We will rebook with you again very soon!”
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!
“I cannot say enough great things about Dian! From the moment we booked, she was communicative, professional, and incredibly thoughtful. She kept me updated throughout the entire stay, sending photos and reassuring messages that put my mind at ease—especially important since one of my pups is a newly rescued dog who can be a bit of a handful. Dian was patient, calm, and so kind. To my surprise (and delight!), my rescue warmed up to her so much faster than I expected. Her calm presence and genuine care made all the difference. As someone who’s super picky (okay, neurotic) when it comes to my dogs and their care, I can confidently say Dian is a 10 out of 10. If you’re considering booking her—stop thinking and just do it. Your pets will be in the absolute best hands!”
“Can’t express enough how much we appreciate Taylor and the great job she did with out Mak. Additionally she kept our house tidy and looked after. Completely deserving of the highest 5 star rating”
“Abby was absolutely the best! We had a last minute request when our normal dog sitter cancelled last minute and I was hesitant to bring in someone new. Abby made us feel at ease immediately. She is very sweet and great at communicating every day we were out of town. She sent daily photos and updates and our Chico absolutely adored her. Cannot say enough great things about Abby!”
“Absolutely perfect! kind, gentle, calm, trusting. Our basset is 10 months, never been on vacation, rode for 9 hours, and had anxiety. Sheilya is the best and Burt loved her so much he cried when she left. If you want your pups loved on and cared for I highly recommend Sheilya.”
“Jana did great job caring for my dog and cat. Luna and Artie quickly warmed up to her and went on walks. My cat even joined in on their walks. I came home to a clean apartment and two happy animals.”
About: What makes me different? I’ve been caring for pets since I was 15 years old and have experience with animals of all ages, from young puppies and kittens to senior pets. I genuinely love spending time with animals, building trust, and creating a safe, comfortable environment while their owners are away. Whether it’s a short visit or an extended stay, I treat every pet like my own and enjoy every moment of caring for them As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to work pet care visits around my classes. I can stop by throughout the day to check on, feed, play with, and care for your pets. If needed, I am also available for overnight stays and extended care. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and am happy to dedicate several hours to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I am happy to stay in your home to provide comfort, companionship, and consistency for your pet while you’re away. I can follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, playtime, walks, medications, and bedtime routines. Whether your pet is crate-trained or prefers to free roam, I will respect your preferences and ensure they are safe and comfortable. I am committed to going the extra mile to give your pet the attention, care, and security they deserve, treating them as if they were my own.
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
“I was really worried about my two girls Rajah and Zoe (boxers). Rajah and Zoe are very attached to mommy and daddy. We don’t leave them that often simply because of age and medical conditions. Rajah and Zoe toke to Brittney when we did a first meet and once again a few days before we left town for the weekend and they were completely comfortable with her and even my cat toke her, and he normally doesn’t take to strangers right away. Brittney responded to my text with in a reasonable amount of time when I messaged her. So, yes we would use Brittney again.”
“Stephanie was an absolute rock star to work with! It was our first time having a house sitter take care of both our dog and our cat. Not only did they love her, she was punctual, safety conscious, and sent amazing updates to keep our minds at ease. I would confidently recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter!”

Kassidy was seriously the BEST!!! 🥰 She went above and beyond all week with our pups and our home! Our AC even went out while we were gone, and she handled everything so well and never made us stress! She kept us updated and made us feel so comfortable knowing our pups were in great hands! We will definitely be using her again! 🐶❤️
Jessica did a fantastic job for us... Jack-Jack loved on her, just like he does on us. We could tell that she is a true dog lover... The care she gives is exceptional and our home was also taken great care of. We definitely will be using Jessica again. Thank you for the wonderful Service.
Alessandra is responsible and loving and vey attentive to our dogs. We had interviewed other sitters before meeting Alessandra and knew at once that she was the one for our pups. She is cautious and thoughtful, asking questions to learn exactly what kind of care is required. She goes above and beyond to make sure our babes have lots of love and attention while under her watch. Highly recommend!
This past week was the first time I have left my 2 labs overnight and was a bit nervous. Marina not only met my girls ahead of her scheduled time, she went way above my expectations. My labs loved her and I will definitely be using her again. She made my being gone very easy.

FAQs for House Sitting - Panama City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Panama City on Rover is $61.05 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 180 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Panama City. 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 Panama City 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 Panama City 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 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!
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 Panama City. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 91% 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.
