“During my stay in the Panhandle, I quickly realized many of the beaches were not pet friendly, so I was in need of a last minute sitter for my pup Sammi. Sammi originally stayed with Aurora for 2 nights, but she had such a great time that I allowed her to go back for a third 🙂 Aurora does an exceptional job of making sure your pup is comfortable in her home. She takes special note of the things they enjoy, their triggers/traumas…and operates accordingly. Not to mention, she takes the most stunning photos of your dog and sends multiple updates throughout the day, so you aren’t left to wonder how they are doing. Sammi came home happy and slept like baby on our 8 hour road trip to South Carolina after her stay. It’s safe to say, Aurora will be my go to sitter anytime I am in the area. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!”
“We were extremely pleased with the care from Valerie and the overall premise and convenient location around Panama City Beach. From the home and privacy of the secure fenced in backyard, we would highly recommend Valerie. Thanks from US and our Maltipoo “Tanner”.”
“Tracey was AWESOME! From the initial conversations to the actual booking process. She was so kind and sent me updates to ensure all was going well. Would definitely recommend and use her services again. Thanks Tracey! ☺️”
“Patience IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. She is very Loving & caring for you fur baby, This is the first time we have left our baby with someone other than family, & we were worried how we would all do. After meeting Patience we felt he was in excellent hands. She was in constant contact by sending pictures of him throughout the day. He was there for 2 weeks & settled in really good after couple days. He gets anxious when we leave him anywhere but Patience calmed our fears. By day 3 he was rolling on his back playing catch with a baby. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND PATIENCE FOR ANY & ALL CARE NEEDS. Our fur baby is 16 & really LOVED IT THERE. Her place is very calming, clean, & well maintained. HE WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK!!! YHZNK YOU PATIENCE you can be confident your Durban is well cared for with patience.”
“Shannon on was super responsive and communicated regularly thoughout the visit despite it being a major holiday. My dog loved her immediately and seemed well loved and cared for. I would highly recommend Shannon.”
“I highly recommend Katrina! She was absolutely wonderful with my dog Molly. From the moment we met, I felt confident that Molly would be in good hands—and Katrina exceeded my expectations. She provided thoughtful daily updates, including photos/videos and notes, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she truly cared about Molly and treated her like one of her own. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Katrina again. Thank you for taking such great care of my girl!”
“We contacted super last minute, got a response and was able to drop off my babies within an hour or two. This was a first time leaving our babies with someone and I’m so grateful to have found Marina! She is very friendly, confident and knowledgeable about animals and I felt very at ease leaving my babies with her. She sent me updates and pictures without even having to ask too which made me happy! Thank you SO MUCH again!”
“Cranesha was amazing for our dog! We came in town and our hotel wouldn't take our dog bc she is a large breed and she came to the rescue immediately! Thank you so so much she took great care of her and kept us updated daily with pictures of our girl”
“Cathryn was amazing! She was very communicative, sent pictures all week, and updated us frequently. We would totally recommend her and plan on booking with her again the future.”
“Great experience! Jessie took wonderful care of our two dogs, gave one her medication as needed, and made sure they had plenty of time to play. We really appreciated the daily updates while we were away. We couldn’t be happier!”
“We couldn't be happier with the kindness that Brittney showed us and our pup Ollie! She sent us pictures everyday of our dog and we felt so good about leaving him for our 2-week vacation. Oliver is usually nervous and has severe separation anxiety, but he was taken care of so well by Brittney that he looked healthy, happy, and well exercised when we picked him up. We HIGHLY recommend Brittney and hope to use her services again soon!!”
“This was my first time ever using the Rover app and I was nervous to find someone who would treat my dog as if he was home. Rebekah was absolutely amazing. She was kind and really treated my dog as if he was her own. She has 2 dogs of her own and although they are much bigger than my dog, they got along great. I would book her again!”
“I would highly recommend Rob and Wendy! They were both incredibly kind and caring to my dog. They kept me up to date on how my dog was doing, which was very fun to see pictures of what he was up to! Lastly, they are great people who love dogs!”
“Jackie was such a great sitter for our Goldendoodle puppy! She kept in close contact with us and gave us updates throughout our dog's stay. We felt comfort knowing that our lil pup was in good hands. I would recommend Jackie 100%!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Panama City Beach
Aarón was a wonderful find. He was able to accommodate my request for an overnight stay with short notice and treated Josie like she was a member of his family. She did so well, I took her back the following night for a second stay. She jumped out of the car and went straight to Aaron wagging her tail. He was great to send updates on how she was doing and also beautiful pictures. I am so happy to have found someone I can trust Josie with when we are in town.
I had exactly 1 day to find a dog sitter for my dog who wasn’t allowed in our beach house that I had no idea about. She saved me! And ended up being GREAT!! I felt so good about leaving my baby to be taken care of by her! She sent pictures of my dog daily which was great and she literally treated her as I do. Highly recommend!
Madelynn was wonderful! Macho is an older dog and when I have picked him up from boarding in the past at other locations he seems disheveled and eager to get in the car. When we picked him up from Madelynn he was so happy…rested…and relaxed. It gave us such comfort that he was so well taken care of! HIGHLY recommend Madelynn!

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
84% of Panama City Beach sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Panama City Beach landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Panama City Beach home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Panama City Beach.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Panama City Beach sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
