“Noah was awesome! Kind to my furbabies, no complaints from them- 2 paws up. Noah was quick at responding and ready to go on short notice for us. This was our first time using Rover; I'm glad I found Noah when needed. We'll be using him again when the time comes.”
“Joy was amazing with Banner! I’m so glad we found her during our stay, she has made our trip worry free. I will definitely keep Joy in mind next time we come to town. If you’re looking for someone reliable and who will treat your pup like her own, Joy is the best sitter for you!!”
“Jennifer is amazing! She accepted a last minute overnight job and came to meet the animals the same day. The first time my boyfriend and I met her, we immediately liked her as did our dog, Bella. I look forward to booking her again!”
“Sophia took wonderful care of our 3 fur-babies. We were kept up to date and provided lots of pictures while we traveled. She followed our care instructions perfectly and went above and beyond our expectations!!”
“First time having Kristine care for our two pups. She did a wonderful job and both dogs were at ease with her. She also house sat for us and the house was clean and well taken care of during and after her stay of 3 nights. We will book her again.”
“Dianne was amazing with our doggies. The dogs warmed up to her and loved all the playtime. They probably doesn’t want us to come home. Great updates throughout the stay and she went above and beyond.”
About: I have had dogs all my life and always as a puppy from birth. From Shih Tzus, to labs, and most recently a Great Dane, I have helped train, raise, and keep all sizes. I do work full time, but typically wrap up my day by 3 and every day. I work in east hill and live near downtown. Afternoon/evening/nights are wide open for walks and play time and house checks. Depending on the age and breed of the dog, I like neighborhood walks or easy trail runs. Happy to go to a park or stay in the yard for some fetch or tug of war. Can clean up the yard, water, feed and leave the pet however the client prefers (gated, caged, inside, or outside).
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with 15 years of experience caring for pets. I currently have two cats of my own, so I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. My experience extends beyond cats to rabbits, reptiles, and amphibians. I’ve also volunteered at a metro dog park and am currently looking to volunteer at an animal shelter, to give me even more opportunities to interact with and learn about animals with different personalities and needs. I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and committed to providing the same loving care and attention I give my own pets. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine, preferences, and special instructions to help them feel comfortable while you’re away. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m available any day and at any time to care for your pets. Having an open schedule allows me to be available when you need me, including weekdays, weekends, mornings, evenings, and holidays. I’m happy to work around your schedule and your pet’s routine to provide dependable, attentive care whenever you’re away. I care for every pet as an individual and take the time to learn their routine, personality, and specific needs. In your home, I will follow your instructions closely and keep your pets comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, feeding, fresh water, litter or habitat care, and companionship as needed. I understand that pets can feel anxious when their people are away, so I’m patient and attentive and give them time to feel comfortable with me. I’m also experienced with cats, rabbits, reptiles, and amphibians, and I’m comfortable following specific care instructions for different types of animals. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away, while also keeping you updated so you can have peace of mind.
About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was 4 we recently just had to put down our 15 year old pit Bull. I have a 10 year old pit mix that I hold near my heart. I hope as you look at my profile and see me you also believe that I will treat your dog as one of my own and give them the best care while you are away. As of right now I work from home, so that means I am free all day to give your dog the love and care they deserve! I do not have a fenced in yard but i am a couple blocks down from a dog friendly park that we could walk to or even just play in the spacious back yard. I also have a friendly fur baby who would love making a new friend.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for several years and I have administered medications to dogs on several occasions. I have potty trained several puppies. I work full time but I have breaks that I’m able to use to check on pets throughout the day. I work in Pensacola daily. I would care for your pets in whatever way they are used to in your home. The schedule you use would still apply while your away.
“I’m giving her four stars because I truly appreciated her stepping in at the last minute when my original sitter canceled. She also went above and beyond helping with my pool, including draining excess water. A few things concerned me when I returned. My blinds had been chewed, and the food in my puppy Bosco’s bowl appeared to be adult dog food. The adult dogs’ food bin was also empty despite having additional food available, so I was unsure whether everyone received the correct food. I had left detailed written feeding instructions. The house felt very hot when I arrived around midnight, with the thermostat set to 75 degrees. Bosco’s crate was also completely covered, whereas I normally leave the front open so he can see out. I’m grateful for her help and availability. A little more attention to the written instructions and reaching out with any questions would have made the experience better.”
“We needed a last-minute dog sitter, and Bri stepped right in! She was incredibly kind, took great care of our dogs, and even washed the sheets and cleaned up after herself before leaving. We really appreciated her thoughtfulness and would book her again.”
“Loarann was amazing!! This was my first time using in-home boarding so I was nervous but she was so sweet and so communicative. I never once had to worry or wonder what was going on which is huge for when you go on a trip that’s stressful enough! I honestly think she left the place better than she found it and was so kind about my house being kind of a sight these days because of renovations. She seems to truly love animals and I will 100% use her again in the future, no question.”
About: I have always been an avid animal lover, any shape or size melts my heart! I have years of personal experience caring for a range of different animals and their needs, including some first aid, special feeding instructions, and medication administration. I have always had a fuzzy companion, life is just not the same without a pet. I am always up for a walk, playing or some quality cuddles. Age, looks, or energy levels don't deter me, I have experience with the laziest dogs to the ones who always have to be playing with a toy. I am an organized person who is very capable of following any special instructions and I would love to help you take care of your furry babies! Thank you! I currently work full time from home and have a lot of flexibility in my daily schedule because of that. I do not have work on the weekends When I care for pets I treat them as if they are my own. Their safety and comfort is my main priority, and my second is spoiling them with love.

For nearly a year, Anne has been our regular sitter, who stays in our home with our pets whenever we travel. We had a death in the family and had to fly out on very short notice. I was concerned about availability within 48 hours notice, and if she wasn't available, to have an unknown person come in during such a stressful time. We are so thankful that Anne stepped in right away and really helped us out. With so much on our plates, it was a comfort to know that someone our girls are familiar with was here taking care of them. Thank you, Anne!
This was our second time having him take care of Lau, and once again, he did an amazing job! He picked her up, brought her back safely, and even went back for her food. I really appreciate how caring, responsible, and thoughtful he is with her. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing Lau is in good hands. We’ll definitely be booking with him again! ❤️🐾
Rylee was great with GiGi and Stella! I can tell by the videos and pictures, that they really enjoyed having her around. She did a great job with feeding and nurturing and just overall taking great care of my girls! She was very respectful and professional! She also took great care of my house. Definitely recommend!
Sara was great with our cat, Merlin! I certainly recommend her! She sent pictures of Merlin, stayed at the house to keep him company, fed him, played with him and let him in and out. She even notified us of an impending storm and secured items, plants and umbrellas on the deck. It’s obvious she loves pets and is very conscientious.
Caitlin was just what we were looking for in a dog sitter! She was communicative, responsible and friendly. She sent great updates with photos every day. Our shiba inu and dachshund seemed to really enjoy her presence and warmed up nicely. We look forward to using Caitlin for more dog sitting needs in the future!
Murray was great. He dog sat my 2 big labs. One is elderly and needed special help and care and I almost didn’t go away for the night but Murray took great care of him. The other is a total spaz but he cared for both of them like I do. I would definitely use him again and recommend him for any dog sitting.
Pooja was sweet and attentive to my service dog and kept me updated on his activity. To help with his separation, she redirected his attention and kept him from focusing on my absence. Pooja also gave me hope that I will be able to help my pup begin to enjoy being alone. I highly recommend Pooja.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Pensacola is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $67 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.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Pensacola walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Pensacola maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

- 98% 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.
