About: I had a dog for over 10 years and I used to pet sit all my neighbors animals growing up! I would love to own a pet right now but I want to be settled before I do! That’s why I’d love to take care of your cats or dogs! I love nature and trails and they would be exceptionally more fun if I had a buddy with me! Since I owned a dog who had multiple surgeries, I’m more than suitable to take care of any special needs your dog may have! I currently work from 7-3:30 so I have the whole morning and afternoon to take care of your pets :) The weekends I should be even more free! I live an apartment that has a doggy park. It has lots of green areas to walk around and play in. It’s a pretty family friendly neighborhood.
About: I know how it feels to leave your furry family member in someone else’s hands, which is why I provide the same love, attention, and care I would want for my own pets. Your pet’s happiness, comfort, and safety will always be my priority. 🐶🐾 Since I work from home, I’m able to be with your pet throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I can keep a close eye on them, give them plenty of attention and affection, and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. 🐾❤️ Your pet will enjoy a safe, calm, and loving environment. I live in a gated, secure community with its own dog park, perfect for playtime and exercise. I also enjoy walking around the community with my own dog, giving your pup plenty of fresh air, movement, and companionship. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine and provide lots of love, attention, and care throughout the day. 🐾❤️
About: I’ve been caring for and raising dogs and puppies since 2017. As an experienced dog owner and breeder, I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, and needs—from young puppies to adult dogs. I understand how important it is to provide pets with love, patience, attention, exercise, and a safe environment. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly connect with them. I honestly feel more at home around animals than anything else! I treat every dog in my care like they are part of my own family and will always make sure they feel loved, comfortable, and safe. Whether your pet needs playtime, companionship, feeding, walks, or extra attention, I would love to help care for them while you’re away. ❤️🐾 I stay home full-time with my daughter, which allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. I have years of experience caring for dogs and puppies and am home most of the time, except for occasional quick errands. Your pet will never be left alone for long and will receive plenty of love, playtime, potty breaks, and attention throughout the day. I provide a clean, safe, and loving home environment for every pet in my care. I have a fenced yard where dogs can safely enjoy supervised outdoor time and play. I have everything needed to care for dogs comfortably, including crates if needed. With years of experience caring for and raising dogs and puppies, I understand the importance of safety, routines, cleanliness, and giving each pet the individual attention they need. Your pet will be treated like part of my family while they are in my care.

Emily is wonderful because she has a peaceful and calm demeanor and she truly cares for your pet. I will definitely bring my dog, who is 14.5 years old, back to Emily to take care of her, when I come back for vacation. Thank you, Emily, for your outstanding care and support.
Nicole was great to work with. Constant communication from her and I felt my girls were well taken care of and pretty sure they want to go back. She answered super quickly for the initial reservation and I always felt like my girls had her undivided attention. I will be using her again if she will let me.
Stephen took the very best care of our boy, Fred, while we were out of town for a couple weeks! Stephen kept Fred very active, gave us wonderful updates each day about how Fred was doing, and best of all, he gave Fred a happy, peaceful, loving home while we were away. Stephen is the very best, and we know we will use his dogsitting services again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Pensacola is $33 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $44 per night. 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 491 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Pensacola. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
97% of sitters in Pensacola can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Pensacola 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 Pensacola.
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 Pensacola 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.
