About: I love theater. I love any kind of animal and I will treat them like as if they are my own. I used to have pets but they passed away recently. I’m only available to pet sit at your own place! My apartment does not allow pets. However I can pets it anywhere else. I am available in Panama City, Panama City Beach, Southport, and 30a! I also work at Home Depot from 6 to 10 AM so my availability is after 10 AM. I am also 22 years old and I have very little experience pet sitting my own pets. But I have experience volunteering at the Humane Society of Bay County. I will make your pet a very very happy. Can’t wait to meet everyone. It helps me pay my rent and other bills I have to pay. Plus my work has been cutting my hours so I could definitely use the extra help. I do not have a fenced in area nor am I allowed to have dogs in my house so I can only petsit in your home.
“Kat is always so sweet to Teddy and he loves her! She communicates well and is always helpful in letting me know if something seems off with Teddy. I always feel like my pup is in excellent hands with her!”
About: I have taken care of other people’s pets since I was 11 years old. I was a vet technician for several years and a zookeeper for 3 years. I love animals and will take good care of your pets. I work full time but am off early on Fridays and off on Saturdays and Sundays. Any time works on those days. Evening or early morning on weekdays could be done. I have a big fenced yard and lots of beds. I have a one story house with lots of room. I treat them like beloved house guests.
“Shellsea took great care of my fur baby while I was away on vacation. She showed up on time for the drop in visits, provided pictures/updates and gave her lots of cuddles.”
About: Hi! I'm Lydia. I'm a former zookeeper and animal trainer living in Panama City, FL. I have always loved animals and I've had pets my whole life. I currently have a cat and a parrot. I've cared for lots of different types of animals, from fur to feathers and beyond, so if you have other pets that need care while you're away, I'm your girl! I'm also comfortable caring for dogs that need medication or have special needs, blind, deaf, etc. I’m not able to provide boarding but I'm happy to stay with your pet in your home. I promise I will take great care of your fur babies while you're away. Lots of love is guaranteed! I’m currently between jobs so my schedule is flexible. If and when that changes, my updated availability will be reflected in the app. Thank you for understanding. Establishing trust between myself, the dog, and the owner is critical, which is why I require a meet and greet before accepting any new clients. It’s important for me to understand your dog’s routine and environment so I can provide quality, consistent care to them while you’re away.
“Denise has been patient with Willow Moon’s “work for my trust” attitude. She finally gave her the belly. I’ve been waiting for that moment. I definitely trust her with my baby, she is Willow Approved, and that’s not an easy approval to get.”
“Kelsey is very professional and worked well with my fur Kids. She was responsive and she took awesome pictures to keep me informed about my Lilly (senior dog). She went the extra mile to make sure that my Lilly was well cared for and supported as needed. She even got a glimpse of my scaredy cat. I definitely would recommend her and will use her in the future.”

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!
Rebecca is absolutely amazing!!! This is the third time I’ve booked with her and I will continue to do so! The love she has for my fur babies absolutely shows and she is so good with them. Especially with my specifically shy kitty, she has been so patient with her that she now comes out to see her, she only does that with me! She also goes above and beyond in doing things I didn’t request, such as taking out trash, sweeping/vaccuuming, washing the kitty bowls. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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.
Hannah is awesome! This was our second time booking her for cat drop-ins, and she did a wonderful job. She was dependable, communicated clearly, and took great care of our cats throughout our trip. We felt completely at ease and will absolutely be using her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Panama City on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 314 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
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.
