About: I have grown up with cats and dogs my whole life. Through this, I have developed a great love for animals. In addition to caring for my own family's pets, I started caring for our friends’ and neighbors’ pets from a young age. I am here to help out in any way that I can so that your pets always feel loved! I am currently residing in Pensacola but I work full time Monday through Friday in Gulf Breeze/Navarre. I do work full time two days in Navarre and three days in Gulf Breeze. I work in the school system and can be available anytime after 3:30 most days or early mornings. On the weekends I am much more open. I currently have a cat in my home so I only do housesitting, drop-ins, and walks at this time. I have recently moved to the Pensacola area. I mainly watch people’s pets in their home where I believe animals are most comfortable. I take notes and advice from owners seriously when it comes to their pets routines and behaviors.
“I highley reccomend booking Michele! She was very caring and attentive to my 2 cats during the drop-in visits. I now have peace of mind that they will be comfortable in our own home and be in good hands when Michelle stops by.”
About: I have been around dogs since I was 3 years old. I have always had family dogs and recently lost my German Shepherd. I have pet sat for friends and family since I was in middle school. I work from home so I will be able to drop in multiple times throughout the day. I currently do not have kids so am very flexible with my time. I can stay overnight in your house with your animals and drop in multiple times a day. I have a lot of experience with strong dogs and enjoy taking dogs on adventures or just walks around the neighborhood.
About: Hello! I’m Alyssa. I’m a proud mom to a crazy kid and pet parent to a corgi named Gnocchi and a senior cat named Micah. I’ve loved animals my whole life, and I was in a vet academy in high school and worked at a veterinary clinic before pursuing college in a different field. Even though my career path took me elsewhere, my love for dogs hasn’t changed. I know how important it is for pets to feel happy, safe, and loved, whether that’s with walks, playtime, or just some extra cuddles while you’re away. As a pet parent myself, I get how much trust it takes to let someone care for your furry family member. I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to send updates, photos, or videos so you know your pup is in good hands. I’d love to meet your dog and give them the love and attention they deserve! I love spending time with pups and can fit in check-ins and walks during the week to keep tails wagging. On weekends, I have more time for longer walks, extra playtime, or even in-home care, depending on your pup’s needs. I’m happy to help make sure your dog feels happy, loved, and well cared for! When caring for your dog in your home, my goal is to keep them happy, safe, and comfortable in their own space. I’ll stick to their usual routines for meals, walks, and playtime, and give them plenty of attention, cuddles, and love while you’re away. I can also provide updates with photos or messages so you know your pup is doing well.
About: I’ve had or taken care of dogs since I was 3 years old and have had several dog breeds within my lifetime. I currently have a mini poodle and she is my heart dog! I am a second grade teacher in Santa Rosa County and am looking for a way to make some extra money, meet new people, and care for and play with pets! I can stay at your house or drop in during lunch or before and after school and throughout the day on weekends. I live in an apartment on the first floor with my mini poodle Penny. We walk every morning and afternoon after I get home from teaching (around 3:30 pm), then again before bed each night. We also have a dog park that we play in. Penny loves the park! 🐾
About: Ever since I could remember, I’ve love dogs. I currently have three dogs at home that I treat as my children and they are spoiled rotten. Usually, during this work week, I don’t have much availability during the weekends and holidays I do. Usually, I’m available after 3 PM during the week and 24 seven during the weekend. I currently have three friendly dogs at home. I have a fenced backyard and Plenty of space inside for my dogs to run around and play
“I am not even sure where to start with how truly ??????? Adrianne is. I had to make a last minute trip out of town for medical reasons and she made an already stressful situation so calming! She updated me every time with the best pictures of my puppy, she tended to his every need and made sure he was happy and clean! She cuddles and loved playing with him it was hard for them both to say bye! ❤️ Adrianne is such a blessing and anyone can trust her with their puppy! ???????? ?? ????? ????? ??? ???!”
About: My entire life I have been surrounded by animals, especially dogs! Over the years I’ve gained extensive hands-on experience in caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes-administering medications, daily walks, specific diets and increasing daily activities. I’m comfortable handling everything from high-energy puppies to senior dogs. My friends and family often rely on me to pet-sit, trusting me to provide the same level of love and care I give to my own pets. With my deep understanding of canine behavior and my unwavering commitment to their well-being, I ensure that every dog I look after is happy, healthy, and well-loved. Currently I am focusing on studying for my boards so I am home for the majority of the day! I take a break every two hours, in which I will play with my dogs, spend time outside with them and hangout with them! 🫶🏽🐾 I try to make the puppies feel like they are still with family, so I will try to keep the routine as familiar as possible. I go based off instruction of the owner and if I have any doubts, I ask.
“Savannah was great! Very personable, communicated great, was able to do a last minute booking! Went above and beyond, cleaned up dishes and scooped boxes even when I said it wasn't necessary i was just gone 1 night. I will definitely hire again next time I need drop in care!”
About: Growing up my parents always had atleast 4 dogs and we loved them so deeply and took such good care of them that they all became a member of our family and were treated like they were one of us … I was always taking care of new puppies and neighbors pets when they went out of town and since I can’t convince my husband to let me get another dog I decided the next best thing would be to sit for other peoples animals!! I currently work a part time job . I wake up around 5 and let the dogs out to go potty then bring them in and give them time to eat and drink . They get walked one more time before I head out to work and then go into the kennel if they aren’t trained . As soon as I get home they go outside to go potty and I check their food and water to make sure they have plenty . For the rest of the evening they get walked a few more times and taken to the dog park atleast once before bed. I have a kennel for one extra large dog and I walk them through my neighborhood to the dog park that is exclusive for the residents there. There is not usually anyone there and if there happens to be a dog there that doesn’t seem the friendliest there is a smaller fenced off area for the babies or dogs that aren’t as friendly. I have an extra large tub incase baths are needed and a large dog bed for them to get cozy in after a long day!
“Jana took amazing care of my four kitties, even up until the hurricane hit. She then checked in after and helped me rebook once the storm cleared, since I was stuck traveling. She was a truely caring sitter and I am so thankful!”
“Katie was awesome as always! Our cats absolutely love her and she takes such great care of them during check-ins. Lots of attention to detail and we are always so confident that she will do an amazing job. Thank you!”
“Debbie is excellent!! Super great communication and it’s obvious she notices and prioritizes my pets needs. Event if they’re a bit stubborn, she manages them well and leaves them happy and well cared for!”
“I sure lucked out! I booked for the first time and at the last minute. I found Kate and she was absolutely wonderful with my doggies! She played, loved on them and even cleaned up their room & kennels. My dogs are like my kids and I was grateful that I could go out of town and they would be well taken care of. Will book again!”

Carson is amazing with communication and is very reliable! This is our first time requesting Carson but it definitely won't be the last time. He is very dependable and arrived on time each day and sent pictures of our three pups both days. I look forward to him spending more time with our pups in the future.
Sara was great. She braved a tropical storm to stop by and meet my pups and pick up a key. Both warmed to her right away, even my slightly skittish girl. While I was away, Sara provided great care and handling of my giant breed dogs, checking in promptly, sending pics, making sure pets and house were secure. Knowing I have a nearby neighbor vetted by Rover who is communicative, punctual, knowledgeable, friendly, and responsible is such a gift!
Tiffany was absolutely fantastic!!!!! I legit found her at the last minute and she saved my weekend. I just moved into an apartment in charlotte as well and haven’t had guests and through all the stress of getting in with codes and what not and where to even walk my dog ( which was vague “um outside” ) she championed through it and did a phenomenal job! Not only did she respond promptly and show up she went above and beyond and sent feedback with things that I wasn’t even aware of that could help me with my fur babies. And this has to be mentioned but she also knew i was struggling financially and suggested 30 min visits which also gave me room to breathe. All in all she was absolutely lovely and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the service and care I received from her. Tiffany is a gem and you would be lucky to have her !!!! ☺️

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Pensacola is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $31 per visit. 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 of October 2026, there are 1,131 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Pensacola. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Pensacola 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.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
