About: Been walking dogs in East Hill since 2017! Can’t wait to meet you and see if we are a good fit! I walk a lot of dogs, but I absolutely love cats! Looking forward to taking care of your babies 😊
“If you're trying Rover for the first time like we were, I can't recommend Jenna enough. We chose her because she had more reviews than almost anyone else we looked at, and she still maintained a perfect five star rating. Now we understand why. We were gone on a deep sea fishing trip, and Jenna came by twice to take care of our dog, Ruger. She didn't just let her out for a potty break. She spent time playing with her, throwing the ball, and making sure she got plenty of exercise. Ruger was happy, tired, and clearly well cared for when we got home. Jenna was reliable, caring, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets.”
“I was nervous to use someone I’ve never met to dog sit while I was out of town because I’ve had a bad experience in the past, but Noah restored my faith! He was so good with my babies and took excellent care of them while I was gone. They just loved him!!! Will definitely rebook when I’m out of town again!”
“Rona is incredible! She is truly an animal whisperer and will put your dog or cat needs above everything else, including her own. I trust her completely and look to her for advice to get to know my own dog better!”
“Poet was great. It was lovely to have peace of mind while they took care of the crew. They sent regular updates and pics. Our scaredy-cat of a dog even finally took to them. Everyone looked safe and happy and we would absolutely book them again.”
“Joni did an amazing job taking care of Winston, Matilda and our two cats while watching our home! We came back to happy, well-loved babies and everything in perfect shape. She’s reliable, caring, and we’d absolutely trust her again. Highly recommend!”
“Phia was AMAZING!!!! The complete package in pet sitting and house watching!!! She walked the pups, played with them, fed them and picked up poop!!!! She also tidied up the house. Which was completely of her own kindness. Will absolutely book with her again!!”
“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!!”
“Caitlin was a fantastic dog sitter! My husband and I went out of town for a week, and she home sat for our two dogs. She sent lots of photos throughout the week and let us know how they were doing. Our dogs loved her and she took great care of them and the house while we were away. She even vacuumed up which was so thoughtful. Absolutely recommend her!”
“Julissa was wonderful with my dog. Lots of pics and Tucker was cuddled up to her giving kisses! I will definitely use her again and again, such a sweetheart, very professional!”
About: I absolutely love caring for pets and making sure they feel happy and safe while you're away! 🐾 Whether it’s teaching playful puppies new tricks, giving extra love and patience to senior pets, or keeping up with your pet’s routine, I treat every furry friend like my own. I’m also comfortable with medications, special diets, and lots of snuggles. My goal is to make sure your pets feel loved and cared for every step of the way! ❤️ I have a flexible job that gives me plenty of time during the day for drop-ins and walks. On weekdays, I’m available for longer visits after 4 PM, and I have open availability on weekends. I’d love to help care for your pets whenever you need! When caring for pets in my client’s home, I treat them like they’re my own. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while sticking to their usual routines. I provide fresh food and water, give plenty of potty breaks or walks, and spend quality time playing, snuggling, and keeping them company

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pensacola
I was so nervous about leaving my girls with a sitter for the first time, but Can we take a moment and say OH MY GOSH!! Peyton was everything and more. She was so attentive, wanted to know exactly how things were done at home to make the girls content and happy, even though their momma was gone. I can’t praise her enough. She even went beyond and made the girls their warm dinner at night only I usually make. I have to say, I will be forever grateful and a forever customer 🐾❤️🐾❤️
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.
Anne was great! This was our first time using rover since moving to Pensacola and we lucked out with Anne watching our two dogs. We had a 2 week trip to Europe and she stayed with our golden retriever and (slightly more difficult) Shiba Inu. She handled both with great care and formed a friendship with the Shiba, which is rare. We had constant communication and she respected our house along the way. Will absolutely be booking again. Thank you, Anne!
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!
Claire did an excellent job watching my two dogs and three cats, she handled my senior chihuahua well and was great about keeping me updated on my two shy kitties. I appreciated her coming before the booking to meet the animals and make sure we all felt it was a good fit. Will definitely use her again and would highly recommend!
Took good care of my pups. Also took them out to run. Very friendly. Only complaint is when I got home, the puppy was out of the cage for around 3 hours and had 2 potty accidents on the floor and also chewed up a few things. The camera also didn’t get plugged back in when she left :/

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
