“Kelcie is amazing! She is so sweet and cared for my Cleo like her own. She met with me and asked lots of questions about my pet to make sure she knew what was best and how I like things done, and she sent lots of pictures to keep me updated while I was away! Will definitely rebook in the future and recommend to friends!!! Thank you Kelcie!”

“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!”
About: I've had pets growing up and my own as an adult. I was taught pets are Family and that is how I care for my own, and other people's, pets. I can walk, clean up after, feed, and give medication to dogs. I've raised dogs from puppy through senior age and the peaceful passing on from this world. I work remotely, and make my own schedule, so I have a lot of flexibility to care for your fur baby. Walks, feeding, or sitting that works around whatever your schedule is. I live in a pet friendly apartment complex that has a fenced dog park and plenty of space to walk. I have a pet friendly apartment with a cat of my own currently. She's been around dogs and cats her entire life. Let me know your pets preferences and I'll accommodate to keep them comfortable and happy while you're away.
“Matt was fantastic. The dogs loved him right off the bat. He kept to the schedule I laid out and sent me progress reports and photos of the animals. He is the best dog sitter I have ever seen!”


About: I've been passionate about animals since childhood. I have had a zoo in my lifetime, from dogs to cats to lizards to fish. I give the best belly rubs and ear scratches and you will always receive the best portrait mode photos of your pet when I come to see them. I have a deep love of cats, but I am sure to give them space and play it cool until they warm up at their own pace. I have had bully mixes who I had to train on leash as adult dogs, so I am up for the challenge of a difficult walker. Your pet just needs company for a bit? I'll bring my book and read out loud to your cat. Overnight stays do include custom goodnight lullabies for your pet. I am currently working part-time gigs and can come to your pet when needed and spend time with them. I am able to go on long walks to truly tire out even a rambunctious dog- I often walk 3-5 mile a day! I am also able to sit on the couch for a while and snuggle them as they need, or I can just be in the general same area as your cat if that is what they will allow and will talk out loud to give them company and stimulation. I will make your pet comfortable on our walks and stays and be a great steward of your space. I clean up after myself and pets well and do not overstay, nor am I nosy in your space- my sole attention is on your fur baby.
About: Leaving your pet with someone else is a big decision. My goal is simple: when you're away, you can have complete peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, loved, and cared for as if they were my own. I've been caring for animals for more than 30 years, starting at age 4 while growing up on my parents' goat and chicken farm and around my grandparents' horses and livestock. Caring for animals of different sizes, personalities, and temperaments has been a natural part of my life for decades. What many pet parents appreciate most is my ability to understand animal behavior. I take the time to earn each pet's trust, respect their personality, and create a calm, positive environment where they can relax and feel secure while you're away. Whether your pet loves to play, prefers quiet companionship, enjoys long walks, or simply wants someone nearby, I'll meet them where they are and care for them according to their individual needs and routine. My experience includes: 🐾 Behavior & Confidence Building I enjoy reinforcing good habits through patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. If requested, I'm happy to reinforce the training you're already doing at home. Some examples include: 🐈 Successfully trained two formerly feral cats to come when called, sit on command, consistently use the litter box, and become affectionate, trusting companions. 🐶 Taught a pug to retrieve and neatly line up his leash, harness, and collar by the door in less than 30 days. 🐕 Helped eliminate excessive door barking in a friend's dog in under four hours using calm, consistent behavioral techniques. 🐕🦺 Rehabilitated my own overweight pit bull by helping him lose 30 pounds in two months while teaching reliable recall, heel, sit, stay, and excellent leash manners. I also successfully socialized him around other dogs and established dependable bathroom routines. What you can expect from me: ❤️ Your pet will be treated with genuine love, patience, and respect. 🐾 I'll maintain their normal routine as closely as possible to minimize stress. 📸 You'll receive regular updates and photos so you never have to wonder how they're doing. 🦴 I'll pay attention to the little things—changes in behavior, appetite, energy, or anything else you'd want to know. 🏡 My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable, secure, and happy until you're home again. I understand that every pet is unique, and I believe the best care comes from listening carefully to both the pet and their owner. Medication While I haven't needed to administer medication to pets in recent years, I'm comfortable following detailed instructions provided by you. Whether it's oral medication, topical treatments, or another routine, I'll take the time to ensure it's administered carefully, safely, and exactly as directed. If I ever have questions, I'll communicate with you immediately so you can feel completely confident in your pet's care. I know you're trusting someone with a member of your family—not "just a pet." That's a responsibility I don't take lightly, and I strive to make every visit an experience that leaves both you and your pet happy, comfortable, and looking forward to the next one. I currently work part-time, which gives me consistent availability during the day. My typical availability is: Monday–Friday: 11:00 AM–5:00 PM Additional availability may be possible depending on scheduling, so feel free to ask. I'm happy to discuss scheduling to see if we're a good fit. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. My goal is to maintain the routines you've established so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. I'll carefully follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and household guidelines exactly as you provide them. Communication is very important to me. If I notice anything unusual about your pet's behavior, appetite, health, or environment, I'll contact you immediately. Likewise, if I have any questions about your instructions, I'll reach out rather than make assumptions. I know firsthand how much pets mean to their families, so I care for every animal with the same attentiveness, patience, and respect I'd want for my own.

“Highly recommend our pet sitter for the amazing care they gave my cat, Mina. It’s such a relief knowing Mina was in loving and dependable hands while we were away. They kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was clearly comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I truly appreciate the kindness, patience, and attention they gave her. I would absolutely trust them again to care for my kitty.”


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.
“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!”

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: Dogs have always been apart of my life. But when my family got a new dog in 2015, I really became involved. I helped with all necessary puppy tasks such as training, playing, bathing etc. That dog and I are now best friends and I still continue to help with the tasks of playing, walking, and cuddling. I am currently a college student so I have enough time in my everyday schedule to make the dogs a top priority between my classes, exams, and homework. I have classes spaced throughout the day, so I have the capabilities to attend to the dogs during the day in between my class schedule. Some days I do not have classes at all. In my apartment, I do not have dogs. But at my family home, I walk, play, cuddle, fed, and clean up after our two dogs. At a clients house I would follow any specific instructions the owner provides as well as giving the dog my full attention for the allotted time I am there. I would play, walk, and pet the dogs whilst spending time with them.

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!

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!

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.
