“Sheri was great! She did an evening and morning drop-in for my dog, fed him and took him out to the dog park. Roofus was very comfortable with her, and she even provided a report card and drop-in photos of him. I'd highly recommend her for your furbabies!”
“We really appreciate having Lisa checking in with our cats Rhino and Rebel. And feel happy to see the photos and status updates that Lisa posts for us each time. It’s very important to us and comforting to know that our pets are safe and being well cared for.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Lisa was great! I could tell the kitties loved her because they were calm and relaxed when we returned. This was our first time working with Lisa but I will be reaching out to her again for sure.”
“I cannot say enough good things about my pet sitter! She truly went above and beyond to make sure my babies were safe, happy, and well cared for while I was away. She kept me updated, paid attention to all the little details, and gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. You can tell she genuinely cares about the animals she watches, and that means everything to me. I would absolutely trust her with my babies again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, caring, and attentive. ❤️”
“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.”
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 have always had pets! I have helped a dog give birth before. As well as trained several different breeds of dogs! I have also trained one cat to sit. I don't have a job right now so I'm available with little notice on weekdays and moderate notice on weekends! I will try to answer to everyone promptly I clean my cats litter boxes every other day and take my leash trained cat on a walk at least once a day! I can clean accidents, and litter boxes. I have no trouble following a feeding schedule or administering medication, I've given both dogs and my cats medicine in the past.
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.
“Ave was awesome it was a last minute booking therewas a problem with my door but we got that fixed and her communication with me was awesome. If she had a problem, she called or text. And I was able to help her cali seemed to like her lot, and I just really appreciated it being last minute on fourth of july”
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: 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: I am a fur mom to 7 dogs, 1 cat and fish. I have had animals in my life since I was a teenager. I had a dog sitting business years ago and loved it. I have senior dogs now and have even rescued senior dogs and they lived with me until the end. I have fostered for rescues and even been a foster failure and adopted. I currently work full-time but still can stay at your home to watch your babies. I love dogs, cats and fish. I have had animals since I was a teenager and had a pet sitting business in Alabama before I moved to FL. At one point I had over 20 dogs in my home lol. Now I prefer to stay at my clients home but can still keep your baby at mine if you need. I promise to give your baby the love and attention he/she needs and deserves because they are babies with fur coats and should be treated like it. I will do whatever needed in my clients home, check on your pets at your home or your pets can stay at my home. I have my own pack myself.
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 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!

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 Beach 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 Beach. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
