I am currently a part time student and work about three days a week so I have plenty of time to hang out with your furry loved ones! I am understanding that every dog is unique and has to have their needs met differently so, I am totally willing to work with each pet as needed!
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs for as long as I can remember—caring for everything from tiny lap companions to big, lovable gentle giants. To me, every pup is more than just a pet; they’re a unique soul with their own quirks, charms, and personality. I take the time to truly connect with each dog, whether they thrive on adventurous walks or prefer cozy afternoons filled with belly rubs. I understand the trust it takes to leave your best friend in someone else’s care, and I treat that responsibility with the utmost respect. My mission is to give you complete peace of mind while creating a safe, happy, and loving environment for your dog. When they’re with me, it’s not just pet sitting—it’s like their own little staycation, filled with care, comfort, and plenty of tail wags, “Belly Rubs, and Snuggles Included!“ As a retired U.S. Air Force veteran, I bring discipline, reliability, and a strong sense of responsibility to everything I do—including caring for your furry family members. You can trust me to provide attentive, loving care while respecting your home and routine. I understand that every pet—and every schedule—is unique, so I offer flexible services to fit your needs, whether it’s daytime visits, overnight stays, weekends, or even holidays. My goal is to give both you and your pets peace of mind, knowing they’re in safe, dependable, and caring hands. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I maintain a secure and clean environment, closely following your routines and any special instructions to ensure their well-being. You can trust me to provide attentive, loving care while respecting your home, creating a calm and stress-free atmosphere for your furry family members. From playtime and walks to feeding and cuddles, I make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.
About: I have experience taking care of all sorts of animals all my life. I grew up with lots of dogs and cats. I have watched co-workers and friends dogs through out the years. I know how to give medication, first aid, groom, bathe, walk and read animal behavior. I have trained multiple dogs in my life to follow commands. I am a dog mom, artist, photographer and Navy wife. I would love to walk, play, feed and pet sit your animals. I also have base access. I am very attentive of the safety of your pets. I make sure they are fed, have water, need any medication and are let out frequently. Most importantly make them feel loved with the attention they need.
About: hi there! my name is Shannon. I've been taking care of animals since I was 7 years old, I've had all sorts of pets in my lifetime and I absolutely love them. I'm a college student looking to make extra income and also hoping to pursue my dreams of becoming a veterinarian! I have 2 reptiles and 2 fur babies. I adore animals of all kinds. It is a priority to make sure every pet is happy, loved, and cared for, and that's what I'm here to do! You can always depend on me to care for your fur baby and keep them very happy while you are away. It is something I love to do!

About: Lifelong love for animals combined with hands on veterinary experience. I’ve loved animals since I was little, grew up wanting to become a veterinarian, and have owned pets my entire life, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I also worked for 3 years as a Veterinary Assistant, where I gained experience safely handling pets, recognizing changes in behavior, and helping animals feel comfortable in stressful situations. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I’ll care for yours with patience, attention, and lots of love. Just like I would my own. Currently own a Orange Tabby Cat named Sammy who is the love of my life :) I’m currently a stay at home cat mom. This allows me to have open availability and flexible scheduling, so I can dedicate plenty of time to playing with, caring for, and giving attention to your pets throughout the day. When caring for pets, my top priorities are safety, trust, and making sure your pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment. I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your pet and your home, and I take that responsibility seriously. I will always follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medication instructions, and any specific care preferences to help keep things consistent and stress free for them.
About: Years of experience caring for and training all types of pups! From friendly to nervous, I make sure your pup feels like family with me. Full-time pet caretaker. I spend my days hiking, training and lounging with the pets in my care. I make your pups stay personalized and fit to their needs.

“Felicia was absolutely amazing! She took such wonderful care of my cat while I was away, and it was clear my kitty loved her. She was attentive, reliable, and kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!”
“Taylor was great! Very responsive and professional. Loved the details and the photos she included on the Rover Card during her checkins. I will definitely be using her again to watch my cats!”
“Jennifer was nothing short of amazing! We felt extremely comfortable with her during the meet and greet with our girls and can tell from the photos that they enjoyed her company. She took care of our girls the same way we do and made sure to spend the entirety of her stays doing what the dogs love doing- fetch and giving tons of affection! Lots of great daily photos and updates. We would 100% have Jennifer watch our girls again. Thank you soooo much for taking such great care of our girls and house!”
“Joshua was fantastic with my 90lb puppy who has lots of energy! He came for a drop-in visit and took him on a nice walk to help burn off some energy. He handled him confidently, gave him plenty of attention, and sent great updates with photos. My dog looked so happy and relaxed afterward! I really appreciate how caring and professional Joshua was—would definitely book again!”
“Matt is the absolute kindest and most patient sitter for both of our dogs, but mainly for our elderly, large lab. He goes the extra mile, every time, and allows us to travel without worrying about how our dogs will be cared for. We trust him, we like him as a person, and we highly recommend!”
“Fiona took great care of my animals while I was away for the military. She is an amazing care taker and I would trust her to take care of my animals again next time I need a sitter. Highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve had a dog my entire life and know how to take good care of them. I am 14 hours away from home and miss my dog every day. Taking care of a dog would not only benefit the pup but also me! I am currently a student athlete at UWF but I have a lot of free time on my hands to give dogs all the attention they need because all of my workouts are super early in the morning. I have a dog at home but not here at school so if your dog doesn’t get along with other dogs no worries! I also am a very active person and would play with the dog tons.
About: I've been pet sitting for as long as I can remember! I loved watching my neighbors pups or my grandmother's Australian Shepherd when they went on their summer road trips. Also, I spent six years with my Shit Zu Meiko who was the best and most selfless friend I've ever had the privilege to know. She brought such joy to my heart and I would love to bring the same kind of care and love to your pup! Because I work remotely, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to easily fit pet care into my day. I can adjust my work around feeding times, walks, play sessions, or drop-ins, and I love the balance it brings to my routine. Whether it’s a midday walk for a pup, morning and evening visits for cats, or longer stays when you’re traveling, I can be consistent and reliable. Caring for pets is not just something I do on the side—it’s something I truly enjoy making part of my daily life. In my home, my two cats are spoiled with love, playtime, and a clean, comfortable environment, and I extend that same level of care to every pet I watch. I follow routines closely, whether that means sticking to a feeding schedule, keeping up with litter box duties, or making sure dogs get the exercise they need. In a client’s home, I always aim to respect your space and your pet’s comfort. I’ll keep things tidy, send you updates with photos, and make sure your pet feels secure while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, snuggles, or simply being a calm companion, I adjust to each pet’s personality and needs.
“Lindsay was absolutely amazing with my dog Ziggy! She was able to arrange booking for my work days on short notice and made Zig feel comfortable enough to feel at ease. We appreciate you so much thank you!”
About: Growing up, I was surrounded by animals—dogs, a cat, horses, a donkey, geese, chickens, goats, and more. I’ve always loved connecting with and caring for them! As an adult, I had my soul dog for 11 wonderful years; she was a beloved member of my family. Sadly, in 2024, we had to say goodbye to her. I truly understand the deep bond we share with our pets, and I’m passionate about providing safe, loving care for others' animals. I have experience with bathing, administering medications, and taking pets for walks - it's an honor to be entrusted with their care! I have flexibility with my employment - I am able to quickly swing by my home or yours throughout the day if needed as well as can offer boarding services for evenings or weekends. I tailor my care to the needs of each animal, as they all have their own personality and preferences! I am available to come to your home and let your dog out for a walk, or I can provided care and boarding services at my home.

My current pup Johnny Cash is all puppy, wicked smart loves to hike, fetching and is currently being trained on frisbee things..he wants to play all the days! Dogs are my favorite .

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Pensacola
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!
Shelby is amazing! Our pets loved her and and she was great Scott sharing lots of pics of their happy faces while they played. Bonus: our house wasn’t destroyed in the process of having someone sit our pets while we were gone. 10/10 will want to hire Shelby again 🤍
Logan did drop in visits for our 90 lb energetic puppy and did a great job!! Our pup loved him and was very responsive to him. Provided lots of photos and I felt he was in great hands. I would highly recommend his services and will absolutely use them in the future!
Peyton is extremely detailed with what your dog has eaten, pooped, peed, etc. She really cares for the well being of your animal and makes sure they are cared and loved for while you are away. My dogs enjoyed their time with Peyton. She goes out of her way to make sure their needs are met.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Pensacola stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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.
To find sitters in Pensacola with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
