“Ashley did an awesome job taking care of my dog and two cats. She monitored how much my fussy-eater dog ate and helped exercise her to stimulate an appetite. I came back, and my pets were all soft furballs from her brushing them! I’m happy with how she cared for my furbabies and kept my plants alive! Thank you Ashley!”
“This was our first time with Breana, and she did a phenomenal job! She is professional, great with communication, and most importantly took wonderful care of our fur babies while we were gone. We are so glad to have found her to be our new kitty sitter since moving to this area. Highly recommend!”
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.
“Alyssa was able to watch my kitties at the last minute. I felt very comfortable having her drop-in and care for my cats, including giving one of my cats his medicine. She communicated with me every day about how they were doing and I would definitely recommend her!”
“I have two foster cats that last minute needed medical care while I was gone for a trip. I also have one cat who is acting up lately. BreeAna was awesome and was able to cover it last minute so I could relax for a few days and not worry about them. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Brittany was kind and courteous. She came to meet our pets beforehand and was flexible with our schedules. Brittany is very warm and our pets felt comfortable and safe with her. Thank you Brittany!”
About: I’ve always been the person friends and family trust with their pets. I know every dog is different, so I take the time to learn their routine, energy level, and personality to help them feel comfortable while I’m caring for them. I’m happy to meet your dog’s pace and for those with the energy I love a good run and playing games with them! I have a 13 year old dog of my own named Toffee. She’s been my best friend since she was 9 weeks old. We’ve been through a number of things together which have taught me a lot about caring for a dog from a very young age into senior age. It can be nerve wrecking leaving her when I have to go out of town and I’m always looking for the best possible care for her. I know how much this matters for her, and for myself. I would love the opportunity to bring you and your dog the same peace of mind that I myself want and need. I am currently working part time with a very flexible schedule. This means that I can be available whenever you and your dog(s) need me! I spend a LOT of time cuddling with my own dog and taking her on adventures. She loves traveling and exploring new parks as well as swimming. She has arthritis which is treated with an injection every few months as needed. We go on frequent walks so she can get her sniffing in which is incredibly important for a dog’s brain. Even just 15 minutes sniffing around outside does wonders for their cognitive health. She gets a treat after her potty breaks, and is a big fan of pumpkin! I add a bit to her food for vitamins and minerals. I bathe her and keep her nails trimmed as well as brushing her fur to keep it soft and comfy for her.
“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’ve cared for animals of all ages and temperaments for over 25 years, including dogs, cats, small animals and exotics. My experience ranges from daily walks and playtime to administering medications and providing post-surgery care. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic puppies to seniors with special needs. I was also a vet tech for 15 years. I work part time as a CNA but before that, I was a vet tech for over 15 years. My schedule can be worked around as it is flexible. I can do drop-ins, walks, weekends and over night sitting when I am available. I follow your routine to the letter so your pet feels at ease in their familiar space. I’m careful with doors, gates, and leashes, and I tidy up as I go so you come home to a clean house and a happy pet.
“No need to click on any other provider! Meagan is the one for you. If I could give her 10 stars, I would. She took amazing care of our pups and our home, going above and beyond. We will definitely be booking with her again if we ever need care.”
About: I’ve been around dogs most of my life and i’ve been dog sitting constantly over the last few months for a couple different family’s! I’m currently working part time so i have plenty of take to take care of your fur baby’s! i can be available basically any day of the week! I always had cats and a dog growing up which i would take on walks daily. I have the same few family’s ask me to dog sit constantly and I take great care of them. Some eat special food at certain times and some take medicine every day which i always take care of!
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: I’ve had animals of all kinds my whole life. I’ve volunteered at the humane society to walk big and difficult or hard to adopt out dogs and help get them adopted. I’ve walked Llamas and pigs and I’ve babysitting a sugar glider and pot belly pig, that’s the last thing unique sitting experience! My last dog was a bull terrier who lived to be 16 and he was my first baby. My current love is my 3 year old Merlegreat Dane names Zeus and he is a Completely hilarious pup! Bull terriers and Great Danes are a unique breed but so much fun and it brings me so much joy to be around animals and help them in anyway. We also have a hedgehog named Tiger Lily and two chickens Daisy and Fluffy butt, free range. Love my little crew! I’m a stay at home mom and a retired Marine veteran. I have nothing but time during the week to help out and possibly weekends depending on the date and time. I can crate them if need be, walk, play, feed, bathe and watch over your pet drop off at doggy day care or play at the dog park if they’re up for it! I’m experienced in large strong breeds as well as tiny little guys!
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.
About: I’ve helped with various sized dogs for friends and family and I’ve worked with big dogs so nothing scares me! I am 5 foot tall though so smaller dogs would be preferred! 😂😂 I’m currently working for a preschool M-F 8:30 AM-2:30 PM. I thought this would be a fun way to earn extra income since I love pets! 🐾❤️ My cat Pumpkin is an indoor cat so I don’t let him wander outside. He’s more of a grazer when it comes to eating so I just keep an eye on his food & water and refill when he needs it. As long as I have clear instructions on how to feed/check up on pets in the past, I’ve been good about that. 👍🏻
About: My name is Alicia. I’ve been a teacher for 18 years. I have had pets for as long as I can remember. As far as “on my own” pets; I’ve owned five dogs, a cat, 4 gerbils, and 2 ferrets. I have experience in medication administration. I had a seizure baby as well so I’m familiar with them also. I have always been super close with my pets and they are allowed free roam of the house and love snuggling on the furniture. I wish I could provide in home services, but currently have a foster staying with me. Feel free to ask any questions you may have. I’m currently working flexible hours, so I have varying availability most days! When doing drop by visits to feed or give potty breaks, I make sure to spend a little extra time giving them attention. I’ve found animals can get their feelings hurt a bit when we rush in and rush out on a care visit. I want them to feel special and know that everything is good until your return. I love animals and am familiar with many different sizes/breeds. Just let me know what your specific pet needs/preferences are and I will make sure they are comfortable, cared for, and loved.

Aubrey was so great with my cat, Mako! I loved getting a photo of him during every drop in and I felt confident that he was being well cared for. Aubrey even helped watch my foster cat who wasn’t able to find another foster placement before my trip. She has a lot of experience with fosters and rescue animals and it was so nice to know that both kitties were in good hands. I highly recommend her.
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!
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!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Panama City is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. 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 305 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Panama City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% can help with daily exercise

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 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.
