“Our poodles stayed with Cathryn for 4 days/3 nights and seemed to have enjoyed their stay. Yogi got some big dog playtime in and would be happy to visit again. I usually travel with him but this was a girl’s birthday trip to Vegas, so… Thanks so much Cathryn. I don’t trust just anybody to care for our boys and you did a great job!”
“This was dog Copper's first time staying away from home, so there were some worries from my wife and I. However, as soon as I dropped him off with Wendy and Rob our worries were put at ease! Wendy and Rob do a great job of communicating and sending photo updates each day. They have a nice home with a spacious fenced in area. We will definitely be repeat customers in the future!”
About: I have experience taking care of cats and dogs of all ages. I provide personalized, attentive care in a safe, loving home environment. I send daily photo updates, follow your exact instructions, and ensure your pets feel comfortable and happy while you’re away! I am available every day of the week. I can walk dogs as needed. I provide specialized care and make sure each pet is given what they need each day to be happy. I have a fully fenced backyard for the dogs to run around and play. I have toys and treats.

“Stephanie did such a great job taking care of Diamond for us while we we were away! Loved the pictures, and how Diamond and your fur babies got along!! ?. My heart is happy. Will definitely use Stephanie again in the future!!!”
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.
“Barb was great with my Shih Tzu, Burke. She kept me updated a few times a day with pics and a video. She treated Burke as part of her family and made him feel at home. He came home very happy and healthy!”
“Reya is amazing! I left my dog with her for 2 weeks, and I have never felt so reassured and comfortable. This isn't something I've done often and was so hard for me to leave Woody for 2 weeks, but Reya was so patient and it was so obvious she cared. Will 100% book with her again and recommend her to anyone who wants a trusted and caring person to look after their dog.”

“As always, Fabricia is simply the best sitter for Tori my mother and I have ever had the good fortune to know. We know that Tori wil be loved, pampered and treated like one of her own. Aunt Fabricia is a remarkable person and a loving and dedicated friend to both animals and her fellow man. We are lucky to have her as a friend to Tori and us. Actually, more like family! We always feel comfortable with entrusting Fabricia to take the greatest of care of our lil girl whenever we travel. There is always great communication and multiple pics that show how at ease and at home Tori feels when at Fabricia and Blaine’s lovely home. A special shout out to her own lil dog, Romeo, who has become a great friend to Tori as well. Fabricia is THE BEST all around!!”
About: I’ve had many pet growing up and have a strong love for animals. I’ve spent time with dogs of all sizes, cats, reptiles, and birds. I pick up lots of freelance odd jobs and do not currently have a true sit down "job". So there will be plenty of time for taking care of your pet properly! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm and safe environment that helps pets feel secure and loved while their favorite people are away. I always follow the owner’s routines and instructions carefully. Whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, medication, or favorite toys and treats. I make sure doors are locked, pets are supervised, and I give updates as needed to give you peace of mind. I also take pride in respecting your home, keeping things clean, secure, and exactly how you left them. My goal is to build trust. Not just with your pet, but with you too. I know it can be hard to leave your pet behind, and scary to leave your babies in someone else's hands while you're gone. I'm reliable, detail oriented, and treat every animal like they’re part of my own family.

Pet 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.
Taylor was absolutely one of the best dog sitters I’ve ever had! She kept me reassured throughout my pup’s entire stay and treated him like one of her own. She sent lots of photos, videos, and updates on how he was doing, which I really appreciated. It was clear that she genuinely cared about him and made sure he was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. I’m so grateful I found Taylor, and I will definitely be booking with her again. I highly recommend her, she’s the best! ❤️🐾
Shannon was absolutely fabulous! My husband and I were in town to have our wedding with all of our friends and family and had planned on keeping our sweet baby with us but decided it would be best to find someone to watch him since we would be so busy over those few days. I was super nervous leaving my buddy but Shannon reassured me and even checked in throughout the few days she had him and she even sent picture updates! She was absolutely wonderful! Thank you for all you did!
Brittany is an answer to my prayers. My baby does not do well in boarding situations with all the dogs barking and being locked in a cage. So, I found Brittany and she is perfect for my baby. Plenty of love and attention. When I got her home it was like I had never been gone. We found our person❤️So grateful

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 .
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 .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
