“Lisa took excellent care of our senior Frenchie. Our dog takes doily medication and becomes very anxious when we travel. When we returned from our trip, our dog acted as if we had never been away, and our house was in the same clean condition as when we left.”
“Kimber stayed in my home and took care of my animals for 2+ weeks. They all seemed healthy and happy when I arrived home and the house was nice and clean. She also communicated well during my time away. Thanks again!”
“John was wonderful from start to finish! He was quick to respond and maintained great communication throughout. He even came by beforehand to go over everything in person. While we were away, he provided regular updates and pictures, giving us peace of mind that our pets were in good hands. We returned to a clean, tidy home, and our pets seemed happy and well cared for. Highly recommend John for any pet sitting needs!”

About: Hello! 👋 Thank you for visiting my profile! I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life—from horses and dogs to cats, ferrets, and just about everything in between. Caring for animals has always been a passion of mine, and over the years I’ve been trusted by family, friends, and neighbors to care for their beloved pets. I’d love the opportunity to care for yours! I have a flexible, home-based schedule that allows me to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and personalized care throughout your pet’s stay. I know leaving your pet with someone new can feel overwhelming, which is why I always recommend scheduling a meet-and-greet beforehand to ensure we’re a great fit. We primarily live in Florida but spend part of the summer at our home in Massachusetts. My calendar is always kept up to date, so you can book with confidence. Your dog will be welcomed into our home as part of the family. We have a fully fenced 6-foot privacy yard for safe outdoor play, and our two friendly resident dogs enjoy making new canine friends. For everyone’s safety, I kindly ask that all pets are spayed or neutered, current on vaccinations, and on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention.
About: I’ve owned both dogs and cats my entire life and have always loved caring for animals. I’m comfortable with pets of different personalities and understand the importance of keeping them happy, safe, and cared for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply giving them extra attention, I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. I currently work part time, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the week. I’m available on weekends and can often accommodate weekday visits as well. Feel free to reach out, and I’ll do my best to work with your pet care needs! I provide pet sitting in your home, where your pets can stay comfortable and relaxed in their familiar environment. I know pets feel their best when they’re surrounded by the sights, smells, and routines they know, and I’ll make sure they receive plenty of care, attention, and love while you’re away.
About: I admire and adore all animals. It warms my soul to experience the connection with pets. I would love to be around pets on a regular Basis again. I do not personally have a pet at the moment but I care for my roommates dog whom is 15 years old daily. Caring for elderly pets requires a lot of love to give and patience. I offer calm and loving energy to all pets. I follow home and pet instructions provided , including medication. I treat all clients home as my own .
“Fabricia did an awesome job watching my cat and dog on very short notice over the Christmas holidays. They both warmed up to her fast and she put my mind at ease with consistent updates, pictures and videos.”
About: I have had pets my whole life and have spent years house and pet sitting for friends and family. I am in the Army National Guard and have childcare experience, which has helped me become patient, reliable, and attentive. 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. When caring for clients’ pets, I learn their routine and follow instructions closely to keep them comfortable and stress free. I provide plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, and exercise based on their needs. I am happy to walk or jog with dogs and always create a safe, calm, and loving environment while you are away.
“Morgan was amazing! I needed a sitter with minimal notice. She was flexible, prompt, and so loving to my dog. She helped my dog adapt to a new home easily and treated him like her own. Will definitely work with Morgan again.”
“I cannot say enough great things about Dian! From the moment we booked, she was communicative, professional, and incredibly thoughtful. She kept me updated throughout the entire stay, sending photos and reassuring messages that put my mind at ease—especially important since one of my pups is a newly rescued dog who can be a bit of a handful. Dian was patient, calm, and so kind. To my surprise (and delight!), my rescue warmed up to her so much faster than I expected. Her calm presence and genuine care made all the difference. As someone who’s super picky (okay, neurotic) when it comes to my dogs and their care, I can confidently say Dian is a 10 out of 10. If you’re considering booking her—stop thinking and just do it. Your pets will be in the absolute best hands!”
About: I’ve taken care of my own animals since I was 10 years old. My neighbors always relied on me to walk their animals and take care of personal stuff as needed:) I am currently in nursing school and my classes go through majority of morning but in afternoon I’m free to take care of your animal I have a small apartment but it is perfect for my animals and me. I’m more so looking to go help at other peoples houses since the small environment may not be best for all of our children lol
“Taylor was awesome with our three dogs. We received photos and videos of our babies while we were gone. Taylor also handled our GS who had an infection so well, she made sure our dogs were comfortable, content and happy! Would use again! Thank you! :)”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Panama City Beach
Came to the area from a different state to house hunt. Day 1, 45 min into the search received a call from the hotel that our dogs were barking and howling. Not wanting a repeat, I contacted Addie (Autumn) to see if she was available to come to our hotel and keep the pups occupied. She was quick to respond and well-versed. She came the next morning and I walked with her to ensure she could handle our leash pullsr and our blind dog at the same time. No issues and I and the dogs felt comfortable. So I handed her over our room key, told her to use it to get lunch, told the 4-legged kids bye, and left, She sent me photos a couple times during her stay and let me know all was good. She did get lunch and didn’t go crazy, as she could have! Upon our return that evening to our exhausted and happy pups, I found out her room key card had stopped working, but she handled it without issue. I’m just this one sitting Autumn showed knowledge, integrity, insight, and responsibility in caring for our dogs. When we move to the area we’ll certainly be using her again!
Allison is amazing! This was our second time booking with her and she continues to be such a reliable, caring dog sitter. She took Drako on daily walks, kept him happy and comfortable, and sent me photos multiple times a day—which gave me so much peace of mind. She goes above and beyond every time. Highly recommend her!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Panama City Beach walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Panama City Beach maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
