About: Hi! My name is Melanie, and I'm a former U.S. Army Veterinary Technician with 12 years of experience caring for animals of all sizes and personalities. Throughout my military career, I worked closely with dogs, cats, and other animals providing daily care, monitoring health, administering medications, and supporting animals with special medical needs. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. Whether your pet needs a leisurely walk, playtime, cuddles, medication administration, or extra patience and attention, I'll treat them like they're my own. I recently relocated to the area and currently have a flexible schedule, allowing me plenty of time to provide attentive care for your pets. My availability for drop-in visits and walks is generally open throughout the week. Overnight care may be available on select weeks and will depend on my parenting schedule. I will always communicate availability clearly and promptly. Services I offer: * Dog Walking * Drop in visits * Care for senior pets and pets with medical conditions * Overnight stays on a limited bases (when my schedule allows) Because I currently rent my home, I am unable to offer boarding or pet sitting in my residence. However, I am happy to provide drop-in visits, walks and occasional overnight care in your home. As a mom of two and a lifelong animal lover, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care and give you peace of mind while your away. I look forward to meeting you and your critters!
“Kristian ("Jade") did a fantastic job with our baby, Alice. She sent us pictures every day, along with a brief report, so we could see how well Alice was doing. We will definitely use Jade again when we travel.”

“Aubrey is an excellent sitter, she went above and beyond. She took amazing care of my cats, cleaning liter perfectly and giving them their wet food. She is a quick responder and really helped me feel my cats were super safe!”

About: From a young age I’ve always taken care of our pets at home, walk our neighbors dogs/feed/& play with them. I would check in on friends cats and house sit, change the litter , & familiar with wet & dry foods , administering meds & such. I currently work part time from home and very available to implement animals into my routine. It would barely be an adjustment given I love animals and they are a priority to me, along with uplifting the moral I’m very clean, gentle & kind. I truly believe every animal should feel loved and cared for along with being treated properly & fed right & is healthy.
“Katrina was wonderful with my kitty cat Thelma. I was nervous about leaving for a week, but she provided me with such a peace of mind. She was prompt with her responses, took pictures of Thelma (which isn’t too easy because she’s incredibly shy and introverted), and gave me thorough updates. I highly recommend Katrina. I will only use her in the future. If she will have us!”

About: I provide personalized, loving care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s helping a puppy learn basic commands or offering gentle support for senior pets, I’m dedicated to making sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away. My approach focuses on both playtime and relaxation, ensuring your pet’s well-being is always a priority. I am currently a stay at home mom. I have all the time in the world to spend and play with your furry friends! I am available any day throughout the week. I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment for pets, whether in my home or yours. In my home, pets enjoy a cozy, pet-friendly space with secure areas for rest and play. I also do not have any pets of my own at the moment so all attention is on your pet. I ensure all hazards are removed, and I supervise interactions with other pets closely. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I stick to your routine to minimize stress and make sure they feel secure. I always keep a watchful eye on their well-being, follow any special instructions, and maintain a clean, safe space for them to relax and play. Communication is key—I'll keep you updated, so you always feel at ease.
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.
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of dogs for as long as I can remember! From pit bulls to poodles. I currently have a German shepherd husky mix and she is the sweetest, gets along great with other dogs. I’m not currently working so I’m fully available to house sit and/or walk your animals as often as you need. I love dogs and cats! I currently live in an apartment with my doggie, kitty, and two year old son. He loves helping me feed our pets and take them outside to play and go on walks. We have a small fenced dog park in our apartment complex. We go there often. But I prefer to care for your pets in your home where they are comfortable. I’m unfortunately not allowed to have other pets in my home.
About: As a lifelong pet owner and animal lover, I have extensive experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’ve been taking care of pets since I was very young and have worked with animals requiring special care, including administering medications. I know how stressful it can be to leave your furry family member, so I always provide frequent updates to keep you connected and reassured. Whether it’s a playful pup or a cuddly cat, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care is a natural and important part of our everyday life—it’s something my whole family truly enjoys. We have a very flexible schedule, so we’re able to provide care during the week, on weekends, and even at night if needed. I work part-time just four days a week from 7 AM to 2 PM, and I’m home for the rest of the day. Even while I’m at work, my husband is always home, so your pet will never be left without loving attention. Between the two of us, we’re able to give your pet the time, care, and affection they deserve. Caring for animals is already a big part of our day—we have pets of our own—so welcoming your furry friend into our routine will feel completely natural. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or walks, your pet will be treated like family and showered with love while they’re with us. I live in a cozy 3 bedroom home, with a large back yard that is completely fenced in with tall privacy fencing, perfect for playtime and fresh air. My family—an animal-loving husband, my playful 10-year-old son, and my adoring 5-year-old—are all eager to welcome your pet into our home. Our German Shepherd, Ava, loves making new dog friends, while our cuddly cats, Jocko and Trunks, are gentle and sweet. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities, and I ensure a loving and secure environment for them to feel right at home. I can also crate your dog if needed to meet their preferences or your instructions.
About: Animals have always been apart of my life, and what I would consider one of my passions. Over the years I have worked in a vet clinic that offered vet needs, grooming services, day care and kennel services. Additionally, I have worked in facility that just offered grooming, day care and kennel services. This experience allowed me to gain knowledge in animal behavior, health and overall care. Whether it’s administering meds, handling anxious pups, or just giving belly rubs, I’ve done it all. I am a dog mom myself to an 8 year old Maltese, who requires the upmost love and attention, so she has me trained very well to care for others! Whether your fur baby loves long walks, beach trips, playtime, or just someone to snuggle, or fill the food bowl- I’m here to make sure they are happy and comfortable! I treat every pet as if they’re my own- with kindness, patience and lots of love! I have a remote day job, M-F 8-4. I am more available in the morning and evenings for longer Periods of time, but can do afternoon pop Ins depending the location. I am extremely respectful of my clients homes. The reason, my attention and time is spent on your pet. I am trustworthy, and follow instructions. However, I can do light cleaning if needed, for an extra fee.
“Abigail was fantastic! We were out of town for a few days and she took great care of our pets and home. She kept us updated and clearly paid attention to our animals. One thing I especially appreciated was that she took the time to let me know about a small behavior she noticed with our cat, Salem. It wasn't a big deal, but it showed me that she was paying attention and genuinely cared. We came home to happy pets and no potty accidents from our cat. We would absolutely use Abigail again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”

About: I have had pets my whole life and have spent years house and pet sitting for friends and family.

I am very loving and kind, and I naturally connect well with animals of all ages, including energetic puppies and senior pets. I work weekdays from 2 to 8, which allows me to be available for morning, midday, and overnight pet care. I have National Guard training one weekend each month, but I am available every other weekend to care for your pets.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Panama City Beach
She was wonderfull my dog, who we got during covid hasn't really been around a lot of people.And she was so happy to see her come in and see her the meet and greet went, well.The drop ins went well.I think it really helped her out a lot cause.This is the first time being alone, and we're trying to get her used to it.And Katelyn helped out tremendously i'm definitely gonna book her again when we need her

I felt very comfortable and glad to have Allison watching Honey. Allison took great care with her, was on time and flexible, allowing us to add another visit at the last minute when we realized we weren’t going to be back until late. And I loved the fact that Allison hung out with Honey, so it was way more than just a check in. Thank you, Allison!

Shree goes above and beyond! She deserves more than a 5 star review. We have had a lot of sitters over the years, and Shree has by far been the best! The communication at every visit was great. She was not intimidated by our high energy somewhat unruly pup 🐶 i highly recommend Shree.

Angela helped us out on very short notice. It's clear she cares about the pups, loves what she does, and can be trusted to do a great job. We are so glad we happened to find her among all of the available sitters. We will continue to work with her any time we have a need.

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 Beach 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!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
