“Lourissa was very patient and kind and punctual. All three of my animals took to her instantly. She was respectful of my house and left it clean. I will definitely use her again!”
“Having Meagan sit for my dog Willow was our 1st experience using Rover.com & it was wonderful. Meagan showed up on time, immediately connected with my dog & I felt she exuded kindness, warmth & a love for animals. I felt comfortable leaving town for an evening with Willow in her care. She communicated with me throughout & even stayed a little later than planned when I asked. My home was just as I left it & my girl was her normal happy self. I would definitely recommend Meagan & I have rebooked with her for an entire weekend in November.”
“We all loved Jana! My husband and I felt a sense of peace knowing our boy was in great hands the whole time we were away. We would highly recommend her and will be booking again.”

About: With 6 years of pet care experience, I understand that pets are family! I strive to provide loving, attentive, and dependable care while following each pet’s individual routine and needs. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, or keeping their space clean, I want every pet to feel comfortable and cared for while their owner is away. I understand how important trust and communication are, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos for your peace of mind. Every pet deserves patience, kindness, and personalized attention! I offer flexible pet care and make it a priority to provide dependable, attentive service. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, walks, playtime, and other needs in advance. I strive to keep my availability updated and communicate clearly with pet parents to make scheduling easy and stress-free. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my priorities. I follow each pet parent’s instructions carefully, respect your home, and maintain a clean, safe environment. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, routines, and individual needs. I also believe in consistent communication and providing updates so you can feel confident your fur baby is in caring, reliable hands.
About: I grew up surrounded by dogs, including German Shepherds, Boxers, and Mastiffs, so caring for animals has always been a part of my life. My family always had two or three dogs, which gave me years of hands-on experience with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I’ve also provided dog walking, pet sitting, and overnight care for friends, and through TrustedHousesitters. I’ve completed extended pet sits lasting up to a month. I treat every pet like family and strive to make them feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently work part time and remotely, this means that my schedule is pretty flexible. I have a few work meetings and a workout routine that I will stick to. This make it super easy to have time to care for your pets. When caring for pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I’ll make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of walks, playtime, and companionship, and receive any medications or special care they need. I love spending quality time with pets, whether that’s playing, cuddling, practicing basic training, or simply keeping them company. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: Hi, I’m Niko! If you're looking for an experienced and reliable pet sitter or dog walker, I’m your girl! I’m an animal lover and aspiring vet in the Lynn Haven with the sweetest American Staffordshire Terrier and French Bulldog at home and a toddler who is great with animals. Growing up, my family called me Doctor Doolittle because I started bringing animals home and caring for them from a young age. I’ve been pet sitting and walking dogs since I was 10, starting with neighbors and later expanding to Craigslist before joining Rover. I have experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes, as well as cats and bunnies. I’m dedicated to giving your furry friend the best care possible. I live an active lifestyle and love taking pups for walks at a nearby park—it’s perfect for playtime and exercise! When your dog stays with me, they’ll be treated like family. Whether they’re cuddling in bed (if allowed!) or following your home’s rules, I’ll make sure they feel at home. I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! Let me know how I can help make their day great. I’m a stay at home mom with two dogs and two cats at home. My dogs love to spend time in the yard and I also take them on two walks per day. We have a fenced yard for dogs to explore and live within driving distance of a dog park. Dogs are allowed on the furniture here if you allow them on your furniture at home!
“I wish it was ethical to leave a bad review so my new fabulous dog sitter isn’t always booked. I am the most paranoid annoying dog owner who trust no one and actually enjoyed my trip this time. If you truly want to not be anxious, this is the sitter for you.”
“Morgan was amazing! I needed a sitter with minimal notice. She was flexible, prompt, and so loving to my dog. She helped my dog adapt to a new home easily and treated him like her own. Will definitely work with Morgan again.”
“Megan is such a sweet soul. We will most definitely use her again! She kept the dogs on their schedule and even took them to the dog park. She kept us informed while we were out of town and gave me a peace of mind that my babies were safe.”
About: About Me 🐾 Animals are my thing—always have been, always will be. I’ve worked with everything from birds and dogs to snakes, goats, and more, so nothing really surprises me at this point. From bottle-fed babies to senior pets who need a little extra TLC (or to be carried around like royalty), I’ve got the patience, experience, and heart for it all. I’m the person who will sit with your pet, talk to them like they’re human, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and completely at ease while you’re away. I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for neighbors and friends for years—whether it’s a high-energy puppy or an older pet who just needs a calm, gentle presence. Reliable, attentive, and maybe a little extra when it comes to care—because your pet deserves nothing less. 💁♀️🐾 Pet care is part of my daily routine—feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins are naturally built into my schedule to ensure consistent, loving care every day. I care for pets in their home by following their routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and medications, while providing lots of attention, comfort, and a safe, stress-free environment.
About: I feel that you need patience’s to take care of any pet. I treat my fur kids like they are my babies. So I will have no problem treating yours like that too. I will make sure your baby gets the attention and love they need when they are with me. I will look after them very carefully. I have been in the animal industry for about 5 years. I was a manager of a boarding kennel before I moved to Lynn Haven. So I have plenty of experience with all the furry babies. I know how scary it is to find a sitter on Rover because of all the horror stories. But I am not one of those sitter your fur babies are my top importance. I used to work for a kennel so I understand how pets can act with strangers. I currently do not have a job so I am at home with my fur babies 24/7. So I will make time to make sure I go over and spend time with your fur babies. Make sure everyone is okay & give daily updates on them. In my clients home I will make sure that every fur baby is good to go with all the essential necessities that they need. I will also be bringing along some appropriate treats just so when they see me they will be happy to see me.
“Fabricia did an awesome job watching my cat and dog on very short notice over the Christmas holidays. They both warmed up to her fast and she put my mind at ease with consistent updates, pictures and videos.”
About: Hello! I’m Rheya and I seriously, love pets. With owning over 5+ pets in my life, I have learned to grow with, and not against animals and knowing their behavior and individual needs. As the saying goes, “happy dog happy life” has never been truer especially when the pressure is on with life. I have exposer to training dogs, and maintaining an instilled disciplinary environment for my pets over the years. I would LOVE to provide your pets a time of fun to give you, your time of sun! *I OFFER OFF APP OPERATIONS AS PER REQUEST* ^i have received several reoccurring clients off app (also reduces the crazy rover fees!) I am currently working part-time as well as being a part-time student in college. I am available weekends primarily, either overtime or whatever your specific need is, as well as weekdays when available. Following the schedule in place from the owner, I will adhere and implement said schedule, from potty walks to backyard zoomiez! We do the same here at my household (Leo is crazy for both).

I am now a full time house and pet sitter travelling around(by car) the continental US and Canada caring for other's beloved fur family.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Panama City
Kimber is the kindest, nicest, professional, friendly. and I can go on and on. We were in crisis our 14 1/2 years old baby had a seizure. All this in the midst of our daughter getting married away from home. We found Kimber! She not only took care of Lili, but also Ashy and Honey (our other two babies) We were able to enjoy the wedding because Kimber was there. Honestly, we all said that we wished she lived near us. This is your trusting person if you need care for your furries!
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.

The average cost of House Sitting in Panama City is $61 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $80 per night.

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 169 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 , 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.
